I spoke with a representative at CHW, immediately I was given a claim number and a phone number to contact a plumbing company, to schedule a time to meet with the plumber. The plumber came out and resolved both issues with the stoppage and garbage disposal. The representative at CHW and the plumber were both very courteous. This was my first time to file a claim and I was very pleased with the service that I received.

San Antonio Plumbing responded to my call to repair the shut-off valve behind our toilet. I submitted the request Sunday evening and they called me first thing Monday morning. A plumber showed up within a couple hours - even though our issue was not an emergency. We've had this same plumber respond to other service calls and it was nice to see a familiar face. I'm so pleased with the service provided, once again, from SA Plumbing AND Choice Home Warranty!

Choice responded very expeditiously to my claim. Within two hours of calling in my claim, I was able to schedule an appointment for the repair service to come to my house the next day.

Choice Home Warranty reacted very quickly when I called about a leak in my guest bathroom. They scheduled the appointment and followed-up with me after identifying and assigning the plumbing company.

What a great first experience with Choice Home Warranty. I had been a customer of another home warranty for many years. Never had I experienced such good customer service. They sent a repair man, and when that repair man damaged my dishwasher further, they offered to replace the dishwasher immediately. I requested a check instead and they said yes without an issue. Two weeks later, I had the check in my hand and a new dishwasher installed. Great customer service. Could not be happier.

My first service call to Choice Home Warranty was regarding my air conditioning condenser. The weather was extremely cold and a neighbor stated that my unit was making a horribly loud noise. I called in to CHW and was given the name of a repair service in my area. I was told to call first thing in the morning during regular hours. CHW stated they were forwarding the service agreement to the repair service. In less than an hour the repairman initiated a call to me. He was able to accommodate my busy schedule and an appointment was set.
The service went very well, the repairman was very competent, professional, thorough while looking at my unit. I was told that I could call, even after hours if the noise was heard again. CHW was also very prompt with followup to make sure I had secured an appointment. After the appointment and service was complete, CHW was extremely prompt to hear from me the outcome of the problem as well as my opinion of the repair service they had recommended. All went extremely smooth and exceeded my expectations. I have never had a Home Warranty before this and was skeptical at best. Choice Home Warranty is everything they report and contract with you to be and do. I am very pleased and will continue my contract with them!!

We have had several occasions to use our warranty. We have been very happy with the prompt service and the type of service individuals that provided the service. The technicians were very knowledgeable and provided excellent results. We were surprised we used the warranty so many times this year and are thankful we did and have advised other home owners to purchase the protection.

I have been a CHW customer for approx. 6 months. So far, I have made 3 claims. My first claim was for a broken garbage disposal. I called CHW and told them about my disposal and they put in a work order. That same day a technician called me and someone came to my house at a time that was convenient for me. They installed a brand new garbage disposal. Same make and model as the previous disposal. I gave them the $45 service charge and the job was complete in about 20min. The second claim I made was due to my own stupidity and I'm embarrassed to state the claim. Therefore, I will spare you the details on that one. Lastly, I made a recent claim on my heat pump/AC unit.
A technician was called and arrived on the same day. He did a thorough check and has so far had no problems. He also added refrigerant to my system. My unit is a very old one and getting it to run efficiently is a struggle. However, the problem seems to be fixed and I haven't had any more trouble. In closing, I would like to say that my overall experience with CHW has been excellent. When I had a problem, I called CHW. They contacted a technician who later contacted me in a very timely manner. Then, they came to my house and fixed the problem at a time that was convenient for me. So far, I am very pleased with the service that I have received from CHW.

I signed up for coverage on 12/27/13, I was told the first 30 are free since you can't make a claim for 30 days. I was charged anyway. After 33 days had passed & I had been billed again (33.75 each time). The drain hose on my washing machine broke & I called in for service. I told the person what had broke & the model (a Sears Kenmore/LG). The repair person came 2 days later w/ no part. After looking at the machine, he called his boss, who would order the part. I asked how long it would take & he replied it won't take much longer than a week. About 10 days later, he called, had the part but Home Choice would not pay for it. It was too soon after the 30 days. They told me I was a liar! Save yourself the $ & aggravation.

Terrible. I was denied my claim for a dishwasher repair because Choice Home Warranty stated that calcium buildup over the years in Maytag Dishwasher was the reason for failure.

I purchased this contract after being relentlessly solicited!!! Time came to use it & was beyond disappointed! They were great getting someone out to access repair. Repair was confirmed after a thorough exam & reported it to Choice. While repairman was out to make purchase item to be replaced, I received a call from Choice & was met with the most rude unprofessional & disrespectful individual!! I was told repair would not be made, that there was no way the leak just started, it had to be leaking before I enter into contract. Of course I would not report a false claim!! This is exactly how they make you feel!! I asked to speak with a supervisor & was told there was no one else I could speak with & that I would not receive a refund if I canceled my policy.
The repairman was gracious enough to call me & apologized as well as return my Copay. He advised me of another home warranty company where I would not be met with this type of problem. I did exactly that!! I didn't accept the explanation I received from Choice & called to speak with someone in customer service. They were also apologetic & offered to remedy the problem. By this time I had lost all confidence in this company & felt I would be met with this type of scrutiny whenever I called. I advised them that I planned to file a claim against them & that's when I received a full refund. "BUYERS BEWARE". DO NOT PURCHASE A POLICY WITH THIS COMPANY!!! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!! YOU TRULY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! DO NOT EXCEPT THIS TYPE OF DISRESPECT!!

I had a bad ceiling fan and was told I was only covered for 70 dollars. I said "fine," I bought one to match the other fan even though it cost me more money. When they installed the fan I sent them a copy of the fan bill, never got paid. I did this 2 more times same result.

I have a drainage issue that started Friday after they closed. Called them on Monday, they assigned a contractor that showed up today, but didn't have the equipment to do anything. I can't use any kind of water at home, temperature here in Michigan are below ZERO and have a pregnant wife. Spend 4 hours on the phone with Choice Home Warranty and after speaking with a supervisor and 4 customer rep, they advise me that they only have 1 technician in my state that they signed up the day I called them and to wait until they can find someone else. I was given the option to find one myself but according to them, the contractor can't be part of a corporation because they won't authorize the services.
All of the customer service reps were rude and very indifferent to the problem, including Michale, Joanne and their supervisor/director of the blue team called ** who won't let me explain but kept talking over me and at the end hang up the phone stating they don't know how long it'll take to find another contractor and to wait, and when asked who is above him to speak with since I am a paying customer and they are not doing me a charity work, he mentioned that anyone above him don't have time or concern to talk to any clients and hang up the phone.
This is not my first time having an issue with the company. I will just let you know that they want to do everything cheap and don't care about the problem as long as they get their money. I pay them almost $500 per year but just one services call that I still have to pay another $45 on top of it and they tried their best to tell me a bunch of stories how they won't cover it but when they were caught that the service is covered under their policy, they tried to be short and hang up the phone. I'll be looking for a better company if there is one out there.

Choice Home Warranty will use any excuse to deny a claim and treats its customers as liars.
I am compelled to write this email because of your non-response to my communication dated November 23, 2013. My initial claim was that the transformer serving the unit serving the second floor rooms was damaged and the reason the rooms were not getting heat. My annual maintenance contractors tested the unit with his transformer - the unit worked. He wanted to sell me the transformer but I declined since I already had home warranty (I have had home warranty coverage with HWA Home Warranty up to the day I switched over to your company). When the technician from Air Pros of Houston came to repair the unit, not only did he burn out the board (claiming the wiring was done wrongly) but he also left the place in a mess. I have taken pictures of the whole mess left behind.
Whereas it's not my intention to doubt the professionalism of Air Pros of Houston as a company, I sincerely doubt the qualifications of the technician sent to my property in view of the mess he left as can be seen in the pictures - the unit is completely torn down with the parts thrown everywhere and open wires left hanging in the unit. There are a few observations made about the technician - it is standard practice for a technician to take pictures before commencing repairs especially when a claim can be denied, he did not collect the service fees which is customary, I am not sure when you gave him approval to replace the transformer (at what point did you ok the repair?), it is not acceptable to tear down an equipment and leave parts everywhere.
Where does the next repair technician start unless the technician was to coming to install a new unit? This is not professional! He did not leave a paper trail (for record purposes) and he was in a hurry to get out of the premises. He did not want to be held accountable. If the board was bad as he claimed when he called me, then the unit would not have fired when the maintenance technician tested it with his own transformer. If the Air Pros of Houston technician was just lazy to follow procedures and confirm the first diagnosis, he should have tested the unit FIRST before wiring his transformer.
It is my opinion he wired the transformer wrongly resulting in burning the board. What proof can he give that the board was wrongly wired? I talked to a Mr. Mark of Choice Home Warranty who promised to get back to me as soon as soon as he heard from the technician but he has never called me back (over two months ago without a call back!) unquote.
I wrote a follow-up letter on January 18, 2014, a supervisor called me a week later and left a voice message on my phone. When I called back, the supervisor had directed one of the employees to inform me that the claim would not be paid. Is this good customer service? I have been operating on one heating unit, which I think I am overworking, but I was hoping this company would treat me with dignity. I have gone an extra mile to have the cooling/heating equipment serviced twice yearly, once before winter and once before summer. I am giving CHW two weeks to resolve the issue and then I will have another contractor replace the board and the transformer.
Choice Home Warranty is not BBB accredited. I sincerely hope this is an isolated incident and does not reflect on the general performance of the company. That is why I have not cancelled my contract and have given the company time to resolve the issue.

I bought a 3-year policy a year and a half ago; and boy was I skeptical since it was my first home protection policy and a significant investment. A really cold spell caused the water heater to quit Jan 24, the next day we had heat pump problems. Feb 4, our washer quit working. Each time the customer service rep who took our claim was fast, courteous, and advised us on what to do next. Email confirmation of claim and assigned service company was fast and reassuring. San Antonio Plumbing came out the same day and fixed the water heater. Locke Service Company fixed the heat pump, and Tyler's Appliance Repair Company fixed the washer. All were truly superior in providing fast and courteous service. I am almost 70 years old, and Choice Home Warranty came thru each time and now I can truly say I have peace of mind.

My heating system went down the Saturday morning before the SuperBowl. I contacted Choice to file a claim. The claim rep was courteous, thorough and competent. I received an automated call from the Choice office approximately an hour later, describing to whom my claim had been forwarded and that someone would be contacting me soon. A half hour later I received a call from the H&AC company contracted to do the work. The rep courteously explained to me that he would not be able to check out my system until Sunday (SuperBowl Sunday) because of prior service commitments. Because of the unusually high temperatures we were experiencing, I had no problem maintaining a comfortable temperature in my home over that weekend.
As promised, the H&AC rep came to check out my system Sunday morning, explained to me that I would need a replacement blower, and told me that he would order it on Monday and have it installed ASAP. The rep returned on Monday approximately 3:30 pm and I had heat by 5:00 pm. I'm extremely satisfied and gratified with the way in which Choice Home Warranty service managed the administrative aspects of my claim, as well as with the contracting H&AC contractor who serviced my heating system. Right in the nick of time I might add. The temperatures began dropping early Tuesday morning. Thanks, Choice, for the outstanding customer and technical services provided.

Yesterday (Friday, January 31, 2014) I placed a repair call with CHW for my home washing machine at about 10 am (Pacific Time) and within minutes I was assigned for M/s Sachan Corporation for checking the problem & take action. CHW representative was so kind and provided me with my claim reference number, contact information and told me that my claim will be delivered for action in few minutes. I called the technician (Mario) and he was at my home in less than an hour (this is incredible and I never expected this to happen as quickly as it did). Mr. Mario (from Sachan Corporation) checked my "GE Washing machine" and was able to diagnose the problem in less than 15 minutes. It was the pump that helps draining the water and the technician said that he will do his best to locate the supplier online after he gets CHW's approval.
Out of curiosity, I contacted CHW's team representative and informed her about the problem and the needed part and she was so helpful and promised to push the repair procedure as soon as she receive the technician's call. In less than half an hour, I received a call from Mario (Technician) informing me that he got CHW's approval and he ordered the needed pump and will be in his way to my home in less than 45 minutes. At about 1 pm (Las Vegas time); Mario arrived with the needed part (pump) and installed it, tested the Washing machine that was ready in less than half an hour with a smile. For such kind of a job it usually takes one to two days and I have to pay hundreds of dollars but with CHW I don't have even to pay the service call (because I had a courtesy free service call) and paid nothing for the parts and the job was executed in less than three hours (from placing the service order to finishing the job and handing it over with its best quality & service).
I challenge any other insurance or service companies to break this record and I am sure that no one can do it better than CHW and its chain of local maintenance & service contractors. To you all "CHW Sales & Customer Service Team"; I send my best regards & thanks on behalf of my two daughters Hoda & Reema. By your honesty, transparency & dedication, you made my life easier and more comfortable. I am so please to have our "Six-year home service contract" and I look forward to keep your services as long as we are alive.

I had the "other" home warranty company for 7 years. Every year the contract and service fee would go up. Last year my wife showed me an ad for Choice Home Warranty, and we decided to give them a try since their price was about what we paid the other company when we started with them. I had a problem with my garbage disposal and the technician that came was from the same plumbing company that the other warranty company used, so I knew then that Choice used reliable companies.
Last summer my wife and I went out on a Saturday night for dinner. When we returned home the blast of hot air we received upon opening the front door was the first clue that the air conditioner was not working. In Las Vegas daytime high temperatures reach just about everyday into the 100's, and at night it drops to about 85. We figured to call Choice right away and check into a hotel the next morning until the A/C was fixed since it was a weekend and we knew it would take a while for the vendor to get to us.
As we were getting ready to leave the house the next morning the repair company not only called us, but said they would have someone there by 2:00PM. Could not believe this being a Sunday. They arrived about noon, and the A/C was once again blowing cold air in about an hour. My contract was about to expire a month ago and Choice called me to let me know my options if I wanted to renew. I took their 5 year plan, which worked out great financially.

My experience with CHW is they cover the repair of small appliances like minor electrical outlet problems, garbage disposal and thermostat for refrigerator but not major appliances. They will always find a reason to deny your claim on any major appliance. They denied the claims for the repair of my furnace and washer. The first was my furnace. Their reason for denying the claim was that I called the first day my policy kicked in. The next one was my washer. They claimed the problem likely resulted from overloading the washer (why on earth will any reasonable/responsible person overload a washer?) so for that conceived reason it was not covered.
The staff in the claims department (a lady) I spoke to initially was so unprofessional that I asked to speak with a supervisor. I was kept on hold for over 20 minutes and finally the supervisor who spoke to me was most unpleasant. I quote the supervisor "we do not care about what the technician told you or did not tell you. We have funds but do not cover repairs caused by you overloading the washer". No courtesy whatsoever. Everything was done unprofessionally and in a discriminatory way, therefore I am unable to recommend Choice Home Warranty to anyone!
