My wife and I decided to purchase a home warranty in 2012. After looking around we decided to go with Choice Home Warranty. We were so happy with the service, we decided to renew for another three years. I've recommended Choice to family and friends, some made the investment and some wished they did.

RE: Claim #:** CHW Support was outstanding. This was our first time utilizing CHW Services. The water leak happened on the weekend- naturally- CHW's response was quick and professional. The Company "A-Snap plumbing" was super responsive. A master plumber responded and explained my options for repair. Because the leak was found in the slab. CHW case manager was super. CHW approved the cost to split with me ($400) to try and find the leak just inside the slab (3-4 INCHES). The leak was not found. So we took the option to reroute that cold water line at a later date. Thanks again CHW. Your personnel are the best and made coordination for a solution of our leak extremely smooth.

They kept emailing me to see if I was scheduled with the electrician, I kept responding to the emails yes, but your company kept ignoring my responses. While I appreciate your follow up, you need to read the emails. I can't keep opening up weblinks all the time, I don't have access to the internet all the time, and can respond to emails easily on my phone. Please be aware of this, you need to read emails. The electrician came and fixed the problem. Thanks.

Had an A/C company come out for a service check and in the process a bad thermostat was found. I immediately called Choice to report the problem and submit a claim. Choice was extremely accommodating and assigned the company that was already here to make the repairs and authorized me to get a reimbursement for the cost. Choice allowed me to get the job done in less than 2 hrs. I highly recommend Choice for the cooperation and the fast response in order to get the problem fixed immediately.

Becoming a customer of Choice Home Warranty is one of the smartest moves I could have made.

We contacted Choice Home Warranty Friday morning, 11/14/14. We were given a claim number and told a contractor would be dispatched from KTM Mechanical. We waited, and after not hearing from KTM, called them Monday morning.. Eventually they came out and after an hour turned off the heating unit stating the circuit board needed to be replaced. The next day we received an email from Choice that our policy was cancelled. KTM said they weren't coming back to fix or even turn our unit back on. Apparently there were 2 policies on our home, and Choice took it upon themselves to cancel the one we paid for with the pending claim. It took until Thursday, 11/20/14, for them to understand what they had done and fix the policies.
In the meantime, the contractor would not come back out to fix the heat. Once the policy was straightened out we received a call from Choice stating everything was okay and the contractor would be out yesterday evening. The contractor never called and never showed. And here it is 7 days later and we still have no heat. This morning we were told by Choice that the contractor didn't come because he can't get the part needs until Monday (because he didn't order it until today). So we have to go another 3 days without heat. Really?! At this point we have called our own contractor to fix the heat. They don't have an opening until Monday, but at least we know they will show up and get the heat fixed.
At this point I have no confidence in Choice Home Warranty or their contractors.

The dishwasher in my home had been making a noise for a while but was working OK. Then the top rack fell apart and I could not fix it or even shut the door. Choice Warranty sent out their repairman. He was great as he smiled and put the rack back together and when he checked the dishwasher, the water pump was bad. The water pump was replaced and all is well. Everyone was very helpful and didn't make it seem trivial or make me feel silly. Thanks Choice Warranty.

We switched from another warranty company to Choice Home Warranty and have been very pleased thus far. It seems like all of our appliances have reached that 7-year itch and have been breaking down all at once. We have made 2 service calls within 3 weeks and Choice did not bat an eye. They dispatched technicians to repair and provided prompt and courteous customer service while doing so. We actually thought that we would get a hassle regarding the amount of repairs but have been pleasantly surprised. I'd recommend them to anyone and if you are currently in a home warranty contract with another company, I would seriously consider moving your business elsewhere once it is fulfilled.

The way I see it, there are two entities involved which I am unable to integrate: (1) you as the Warranty company and (2) the contractor who did the actual work. I had two commode problems which were serviced on Nov. 6. One of the commodes which had been serviced continued to leak. When the contractor came back, he determined that he had fixed one leak, but there was a 2nd leak he had not detected. The 2nd leak required your approval, but since he was here after 7 PM, your office was closed and he could not complete his work. He had to make a 3rd visit to fix the 2nd leak. Both commodes are now working well.

Everyone beware. The plumbing in your contract does NOT cover drains. This is the claim I submitted. "Water leaking from upstairs shower over-flow." The overflow is considered a part of the drain. The personnel at Choice did not inform me that the drain is not covered. They scheduled first one technician who never showed or contact me. Then they scheduled another technician. He came out and surveyed the problem and submitted an estimate. I asked the technician if there was any problem, and he said this is normal and not to worry about it. I gave him the deductible and thought all was well. I received a call from Choice stating that my claim was not covered.
So here I am a week later, with an upstairs shower that is unusable, and I am out $45 because the claims personnel did not read my claim and inform me of the gap in the coverage. I am extremely disappointed in the warranty so far. I had a claim for a dishwasher control board that took 3 weeks to repair. The supervisor I spoke to explained that Choice does not monitor their contractors after the estimate is approved. Once the estimate is approve, they no longer follow the claim. They have no metrics of the performance of their contractors after the estimate is approved. It is up to the customer to follow-up and ensure the job is performed satisfactorily.
This company is not proactive. They rely upon the customer to do all their follow-up. Dissatisfied does not describe what I feel right now. They should have been able to at least warn me that the coverage may not be covered. They made no attempt to do this, they just dispatched not one but 2 different companies without reviewing the claim.

Heating and Air by Tracy arrived next day after request. Tracy and two technicians entered my attic and tinkered for over an hour. They concluded that my gas valve was faulty and left saying they would be back in touch. As they left I told them that my Heating fan was on, Tracy argued that it couldn't be. I affirmed that it was and requested that they shut it off. One tech re-entered the attic and said I had faulty wiring, and that I needed to turn in an additional work order. Did not hear from them again, so I called them 7 days later and asked for an update, they said that they had not got an authorization from you. I called you (CHW) and the technician followed up with Tracy and called me back to say that my account had been reassigned. Simple Air (Alex) set up the appointment, came and said that there was no problem, that the unit simply needed it's annual service to remove dust, and brought the unit on line without further issues. I rate Simple Air below as 5 Stars. Heating and AC by Tracy zero stars.

I got a home warranty through Choice Home warranty about seven months ago. When I got the warranty, the agent told me that regardless of what the problem was it would be covered. My AC and heating unit went out about a month ago and I called Choice Home warranty to come take a look at the unit. They Looked at it and told me that it would not be covered because apparently it is not covered. Their explanation was that they just don't cover those particular parts. I should have known that when the agent was being so pushy, that this was a scammer business. Anyways I got duped into getting the warranty and I just paid the premium for seven months. When I called for something to be done, they just dismissed my claim. I'm completely and utterly dissatisfied with this company and would never recommend this company to anyone ever.

Our AC unit went out in October. It took 3 days for Choice to send a service technician when the motor went out on our ac unit. When one came out we were told that Choice wouldn't look at our claim without us paying $150 for a leak test to be done. We paid $195 the first day and when I called to check on the claim I was told it was denied because we didn't have a leak test done. After proving one was done we were then told it was denied because of lack of maintenance. After calling for several days trying to talk to a manager and being told one would call back the same day each time, I was told by a manager we could get a second opinion. After paying for a second opinion I was told the ac had issues due to normal wear and tear; however, Choice still denied the claim due to poor maintenance.
After talking to a manager who assured me they would send me the report with the reason the claim was denied over 2 weeks ago, I have still not heard anything from Choice. Due to their lack of professionalism and their unwillingness to cover our AC unit I would not recommend this company to anyone. They say they will cover appliances at any age, which is not true. We have records of recent servicing of our AC and they were not willing to look at these before they made their decision of lack of maintenance. We wasted $195 on the service call for an incompetent technician and also our yearly membership rate! It would have been much cheaper to call out a qualified technician and paid for the repair on our own, which is what we still had to do in the end anyway.

We had a water heater problem in August of this year. This house is our second home, soon to be our retirement home. This home is in Arizona, so I could not be there. We contacted Choice Warranty, and it took a few days to finally make a connection with the plumber they assigned. It took a day or two, but they did get the new water heater installed.
The Contractor contacted us and said he needed to bring the exhaust pipe and plumbing up to code. That was going to cost us about $900.00. I had to trust him, so I said ok. They eventually got that done by installing an expansion on the water heater. In the "big Box Stores" you can get them for about 40-60 dollars, and about 10-15 feet of new B-Vent. I was told by our house sitter, that he was there for about an hour or so. When we finally got up there, I took a look, and the expansion tank was installed, but supported on by the copper pipe and some flat plumbers tape. In the beginning he would answer my phone calls eventually, but kept promising a reduction in the final bill which was $1012.00. Every time we talked on the phone or the e-mail it was a different story, and finally no more replies and all phone number voice mails as "FULL.". He was quick to run my credit card, but as of today 10/31/14, I still do not have a bill to justify the price.
Choice home warranty is pretty much the same way. When I can finally get through to some one, they are all very apologetic, know all the right things to say, and then nothing. The home warranty was part of the home purchase paid for by the seller, so it must have been the cheapest one possible. They are the one who assigned the contractor, so to me they are at least partly to blame. To me this is you go for the cheap PRICE, THAT IS WHAT YOU GET.

This was my first experience with requesting service with Choice. The online form was pretty easy and response time was prompt for assigning the technician. The technician was very efficient and professional. I was highly satisfied by service quality. My only suggestion would be have a text alert system in place to inform about exact arrival time of the service technician. Otherwise over all excellent job!

Original Review: Oct. 29, 2014
This company is horrible. Carried it for 8 years and finally our 15 year old ac broke. Choice tried to get out of it saying we didn't do any maintenance when the same people did the maintenance on it they sent out in the first place. Now they capped us at $1500 on a $5000 broken unit with the condition they drop us. This company should be kicked out of the US and sent to Siberia along with its band of illegals that work "phone support". INS should do an inspection here. Bunch of rude liars. The check has been in the mail for a month now. We were always on time with payments. STAY AWAY!

I have contracted with home warranty companies in the past, so I'm not new to this. 8 months ago I switched to Choice Home Warranty since they were less expensive for the annual contract and the per service call visit.

They are reducing the offer price by the cost of the repairs they have made to the unit in their attempt to fix it. WHAT?! The first service tech reported to me that it needed to be replaced. Now, months later, I still don't have an ice maker. I asked to cancel my policy - which is three years paid in full, and they are reducing it by the cost of all repairs they have provided PLUS a $50 processing fee. WHAT?!
