    I bought a home warranty with this company and ran into problems with them when I needed to use it. My pool filter sprang a leak and they denied the claim. They claim that the big apparatus sitting by my pool is not a filter. The manufacturer calls it a filter. Any person that I have ever spoken with in Arizona that has this big tank by their pool calls it a filter. Choice Home Warranty calls it a cartridge that holds a filter. I will be filing a complaint with the Arizona Dept of Insurance against them tomorrow. I am betting that each of the people on this board with a pool also call it a filter. If there was a minus on the stars for rating, I would give it to them but I resent having to give them one star.

    I called on my A/C on 10/4/13. The 2 service providers that Choice has weren't available to come out till 10/7 or 10/8. The service provider told me that Choice doesn't want to pay the contractors so I am not the priority customer. Customer service rep gave me authorization to call local HVAC company. I did have some come take a look. The unit was frozen because of low or no freon. The wall adapter was burnt. The tech removed the adapter because my house would have burnt down if we had to wait 3-4 days. Now Choice is refusing to refund $485.00. They are telling me they will refund $200.00 as good faith. I am telling everyone stay mile away from Choice Home. On 10/16/13, customer service rep (man) cursed me out, called me all kinds of names & hang up when I asked to speak with his manager.

    I'm a service provider that worked on appliances for Choice Home Warranty. I go get the jobs done but they do not pay their bills. I'm not a bank. They still owe me for a job I finished over 2 months ago. I call, they say checks in the mail. I will not do any more work for them sorry excuse for a company. So if you are a service contractor and call wanting you to do service for them I would run from their company unless you have money to just give away.

    After making initial contact with CHW, I received notification that a work authorization had been initiated and it gave me the name and number for contact. I did so and made an appointment with the repair person after informing him of what was (or was not happening) with the refrigerator. The appointment was within a day and when he came for the initial assessment, he had brought along the part that he felt might be the problem. He was correct; the problem was fixed, and all was well with the world in a very timely manner.

    CHW sent someone to our house to repair our air conditioner and that person stole $200.00 from us and never fix our air conditioner. When I reported this to CHW, they said there was nothing they could do.

    When the contractor CHW sent came to our house to check the air conditioner, they said that the parts had not been cleaned so CHW said there was nothing they could do for us because of the air conditioner not being clean. I told them it had been clean because we had it clean the summer prior. They said there was nothing they could do. At that point I said there was no reason for us to continue to have a contract with them. The person they sent to us said that he could do the work that needed to be done for $200. He said he fix the air conditioner but it never worked. We called him and he said he would come back to our house and fix it but never did.

    I have had so many bad experiences and I have a 6 year contract so I am sort of stuck. It costs too much to get out of it. I have written these comments on surveys but no one has even acknowledged them.

    I called Choice to get a plumber because I could hear water running somewhere in the house and could not find the leak. The first person they sent out told me that he had to replace the master valve in the front yard before he would be able to find the leak. He told me it would cost $385.00 not covered by Choice. I told him I thought that was high and he told me he had children to feed and that was what he charged. I told him that I had just moved back from Bonham and had 3 leaks fixed for less than that and he told me that Bonham was a Podunk town and that I was in the city now.

    I called Choice and they did fire him and they sent someone else. These people thought it was in the laundry room and they cut a hole in my wall about a 12"x12" hole and said they would come back with a plastic insert to fill the hole. They told me the leak was in the foundation and I needed to hire a foundation leak detection company which of course Choice did not cover. I called one and they charged a little over $250.00 only to discover it was not a foundation leak!!!! It was in the wall in the pipes that lead out to the faucet. Choice would not cover it even though they say they will cover the house. Because of the pipe eventually connecting to the outside faucet they would not cover it!!! The company who cut the hole in the wall never returned and when I called Choice they said they could do nothing about it because this company no longer worked for Choice. That little experience costs me about $500.00!!!!!

    The latest was that my air-conditioner went out on a Saturday when it was about 100 degrees. I called and was given a name of a company. I called and left a message and they did not return my call until the following Tuesday. I called back to Choice to let them know that I needed someone immediately. I have dogs and cats and I was scheduled for surgery on Monday. They gave me another number and that person did call back but did not work on weekends. Choice told me to find someone on my own and they would reimburse me. I should have know that would NEVER happen. I had 4 estimates. 3 of them told me I needed the whole unit replaced at about $13,000. The other one fixed the air-conditioner for $624. It took me a couple of weeks to fill out the form because I had eye surgery and my eyeballs were swollen.

    On August 10, I filled out the form and attached the receipt. I never heard a word. After about a month I called Choice and they said someone should have called me. Of course, they didn't. They told me that they received the form but not the receipt. It was attached so I went back to the original email I sent and forwarded the SAME email to them. They sent an email to call them. They finally decided to pay about $289.00 of it!!! I was furious!!! I did exactly what they told me to do and I got really messed around!!!!! No excuse for running a business this way. I asked that a supervisor call me and I was told that no supervisor was there (this was on a Friday) but that they would call me back on Monday.

    NO ONE called and I finally called back over a week later since I once again heard from no one. I talked to a supervisor who did nothing to help me get the money owed to me. He said I would only be getting the $289.00. He offered to give me one free house call. That does not make up for the almost $400 more dollars they owe me. I have this insurance because I live on retirement but obviously this insurance was not the answer to help me. As of today, Oct. 15 I have received NOTHING!!! The supposed check should be here soon but a company should reimburse you when they say they will and I can't believe I have not even received the $289. It has been over 2 months since I sent the receipt and form in. What kind of customer service is this??? I hope that you will do something to help the customer service. Calls and filling out reviews have done nothing!!! Please help me.

    Choice Home Warranty seemed to be nicer and more willing to work with me. I had needs and the people I talked to were willing to talk and work with me on that. I was incredibly pleased and very happy with the experience when I submitted a claim. I live in a mobile home in a retirement in Florida. And I’ve never had blockage or anything like that happen to me before. And so it’s kind of difficult when you can’t do your dishes or anything because the sinks are totally backed up. They were incredibly helpful, quick. I couldn’t believe it. The plumber came out the same day. And he got the blockage out the same day and then he informed me that my garbage disposal was not working properly and was just about ready to go totally out. So they replaced my garbage disposal as well. So I’m very pleased.

    I put in a claim for air conditioner problems. First, I was told a tech would be in contact within a few hours. No one called. It was 110 degree, I am disabled and have another severely disabled person in the home. I called back, was told that no techs in my area. I asked to speak to supervisor, was told they would check into it. Finally someone called, stated it would be 3 more days until he could come out. Then another company called and he came that same day. Found out a part within a part was not working properly. Called Choice Home. Said it would have to go into review another 48 hours. Was informed that the part is not covered so they would not fix. Said it's unusual for this to go out and so they would not cover it. I called the manufacturer. They said it could happen. The compressor was 12 years old, but Choice says it does not matter the age of unit. Because it was going to cost more than their limit I would have to incur the difference.

    When review came back they stated will not fix at all. So after paying each month for service I was denied service. I still to this day have no air conditioner due to the cost of fixing on my own. On a fixed income. So I am not happy with this company and the way it was handled and some of the rude people I had to deal with.

    Last year, CHW helped a lot. I got my Garage Door Repaired, and My stove repaired when they had problems. This past year, when I have needed this service the most, twice I was denied due to exemptions that really are common and should be covered. Come to find out if I had stayed with AHS they would have been. My furnace went out with a bad bearing that should have been covered, but the tech said I had a bad heat exchanger, then exempted any repair, and this was not covered due to lack of maintenance, though I change filters monthly, and keep it clean, and I was checked a year prior during a repair AHS covered on the Air Conditioner.

    Once again I had a toilet get real slow and the flange broke. Last time I had this issue, AHS replaced the flange. CHW said they would not, and the toilet was slow due to "mineral buildup" I ended up buying and installing a new toilet on my own.

    I am very mad at the plumbing company that was sent to my home and he said I needed new faucets and a new picket outside to the main. I was quoted a price of $1,300.

So I took matters into my own hands, went to Home Depot got the valve puller and pulled Moen valve out myself and replaced them in both baths as total cost to me was $50 and the valve puller was $13.00. So please, when people are sent to my home or anyone else, be sure they know what they’re doing because my $45 is a lot of money to me. Plus I had no damn hot water!!!

I'm going to renew my coverage at the end of the year. It was so nice not having to do the repairs myself!!

    Good afternoon. My name is Lloyd ** and I had the misfortune of having my air conditioning system break down during the month of July! The heat was unbelievable. To that end, I had my home warranty which I was able to take advantage of, and thankfully save me LOTS of money in repair costs. The initial technician was useless, but Choice Home Warranty was efficient in finding a second and viable alternative to come out, fix the unit, and get my family out of the heat and into the cool and comfort we desperately sought. My level of satisfaction was off the charts and given my initial experience, I believe that any future issue will be resolved with both swiftly and professionally. Thank you.

    When I signed up for Choice Home Warranty back in February 2013, I paid for the whole year up front so I wouldn't have worry about that payment the rest of the year. Since they only covered 1 refrigerator per household and I had 2 of them, I paid extra to have them both covered in case anything happened to any of them.

    On or about April 2013, after I had the warranty service a few months, we had a power outage due to a storm and some of my electrical plugs stopped working. I called Choice Home Warranty and they had an electrician out the next day. The first thing you have to do is pay the $45.00 co-pay up front before they even evaluate the problem. After assessing the problem and the electrician calling Warranty company for approval to start repairing my electrical problems, the technician came and told me that Choice Home Warranty denied the claim. I was at a loss for words and didn't understand why and they gave some lame excuse that the wiring was old. I had my whole house rewired in 2000. I didn't know I had to rewire every year in order for this warranty to cover. I will have to pay another electrician to fix my electrical problem when I am able to afford it.

    In June, my washing machine stopped spinning so again I called Choice Warranty. They sent a tech the next day and again the first thing they do is charge the $45.00 service fee or they won't do nothing. The tech assessed the problem, called Choice Warranty for approval to repair. At first, they were going to deny the claim because they were trying to say the machine was old but the technician told them it wasn't that old, and I asked to speak to them. I said "really" this is a front loader. Fortunately, I had the receipt of the date of purchase under 5 years. They went ahead and fixed the machine. On August 29, 2013, I AGAIN called Choice Home Warranty because my Central A/C wasn't cooling. They sent a contractor for the evaluation like usual. The tech informed me that the motherboard needed replacement which basically meant the whole inside unit need to be replaced. This was going to be a major job. So guess what? I was denied the claim because of "pre-existing conditions".

    On September 2, 2013, I decided that Choice Warranty was a fraud and looked for any reason not to pay a claim so I canceled and requested a refund on the unused portion of my warranty which is 7 months because they give 1 month free. I had 13 months of coverage instead of 6 BUT all I expected back was half. Today, October 14, 2013, I called the company wondering when I was going to receive my refund check and they told me I have a $0 refund... I argued why. "I didn't use your policy for the whole year." He told me that they have to recuperate the $160 they paid to fix my washer and there is a $50.00 cancellation fee. I told him they are wrong because if I would not have paid the entire thing up front not knowing their company was fraudulent, I would not have lost the $200.00 that I feel they owe me. I paid a total of $401.25 for the entire year. I had it 6 months, I expected $200 refund. They don't see that I lost out when they denied my claims 2 times $90.00 that I paid to the techs up front + the $45.00 I paid when they did fix the washing machine.

    When I signed for this warranty service, I was told they didn't care about how old the house or appliances were because they give coverage regardless of that and the only requirement was having one month of waiting period if you didn't have the house under coverage by another company at the time. I truly believe this is fraud and this company needs to be investigated for its unlawful practices. Please be careful and do not make the same mistake I did. I wish I can find a government agency that could help me with this situation. I am looking for help!!! I am a member of Angie's List and have started procedures in filing a complaint. I am also reporting to the BBB.

I was advised that it may be another 30 days before I get a check to apply towards a new one. The reason it was not repaired (required a thermostat) is due to the fact that CHW has the worst, incompetent, useless contractors in this area.

    We purchased this warranty on our home about a year after buying it. We were told by the seller of the policy that outside pipe lines were covered under any damage (ex. if it collapses, etc.). This was the main reason we purchased it because that is a big cost to replace/fix and it was an older home with original piping. We called today due to a collapsed pipe and a root through the pipe and they told us it was not covered. I told them that is not what we were originally told and that they shouldn't tell people what they want to hear just to make a sale. I immediately cancelled our policy and am very angry. The person on the phone was rude and did not sympathize with us or the situation at all.

    Pricing was the reason why we chose Choice Home Warranty. The experience with the claims representative has been great actually. When I submit a claim, they get right on it and about 2 hours later, you will get an email or a phone call from the company that’s going to fix the product. So it’s been great. As soon as I tell them what appliance was wrong, they would let me know that they would contact the technician and then the technician would get hold of me in a short period of time.

    I had one that came with my home. I bought my home and then I just wasn’t really satisfied with them that much and they kept going up on their rates whenever you have a problem. It used to be $45, then went to $50, then went to $75. So I decided not to use them anymore.

    The experience when I submitted a claim with Choice went fine. It’s just that I waited for the guy to call me back and he didn’t. So then they sent me an email from Choice saying that, “You need to call customer service.” And then customer service said, “We want to let you know that what we decided to do is give you $297 for your washer. So we’re going to be sending the check to you.” And they verified my mailing address and I told them my mailing address and they said I’d receive it within 7 to 10 days and it’s been over a week and I haven’t received anything. I was going to check into why I haven’t received it yet. Because I already bought another washer because I got rid of the other one because the guy said he wasn’t going to fix it. It was the thing was loose and the spin cycle wasn’t working right. I guess for them to repair older models, it’s cheaper than just get whatever they think it’s worth for. They were courteous and every time I called them, they’re fine. Because I had two free service calls.

    The first call I had was not a good experience and they had a weirdo that came out that didn’t even have tools and wanted to borrow my stuff. My sink was leaking a little bit by my kitchen and I thought, well, maybe they needed to fix the system. And all they did was to tighten the PVC pipe and then left. And then I said, “Well, you didn’t do anything and you want to be paid $45? For what?” And he was real rude. And since he was real rude, I called in about it and first, they gave me one free service thing that I didn’t use. I thought I was going to have to pay him for that. So I paid him the $45 check and let him go on. And then they gave me another service. So I had two free service calls.

    The one service call I used was on the washing machine and then the next one I was going to use it to check my air conditioning and heating and the significant change in temperature. And I haven’t turned the heater on yet. I just wanted them to check it if the thing worked. But I had to reschedule that a couple of times because I had to go out of town for things and had work obligations where they said they were going to come out one day and they didn’t. And then they said they want to come out the next day. I said, “No. I told you I’m off these certain days. And now, tell me, how am I going to do it?” It has to be dealt within that time period and they couldn’t do it. So that other service call, I never used yet. I think I give them a 4 because they haven’t got things resolved. But I think Choice was better than what I had before.

    I have heard of them and I have had several houses and at least one of them probably had a Choice Home Warranty. I’ve used them a couple of times, I think, over that period of time. When I had submitted a claim, they came out, they did what they were supposed to do, and they left. As far as I know, they did a good job. I can’t say anything bad about them. Interaction with the claims representative went all right. She set us up to have somebody come out and they did come out the next day. The one thing that I was kind of confused about over was that I wasn’t really 100% sure if the guy that they were going to send up was going to call me or if I needed to call them. They didn’t make that real clear at the onset but I found out later on that they did try and call me that next morning. They pretty much did the job.

    I only went with this company due to the many emails and postal mailings I got from them and it was about $10 cheaper per month than my previous policy. There was one item that was specifically excluded from the old policy so I called and explained that I wanted to become a customer and asked about the excluded appliance. I was assured by CHW that is was indeed covered and that I could start my coverage immediately. So I switched. COLOR ME STUPID!!!! I paid extra for the pool but when the pump motor went, it wasn't covered due to some dumb reason that was so far out there that we just paid for it ourselves.

    When the oven started burning everything I called and after 10 days of no one showing up, I am being told they were "trying". I was told to get my own contractor. I had to call around to find someone since most of the contractors in my area would not take a CHW claim due to problems getting paid in the past. This was in the middle of October. The oven got fixed the Saturday before Thanksgiving at my expense since they had closed the claim for some reason that I could not get a straight answer about.

    When the dishwasher went...yep...out of my own pocket. Supposedly I had not properly done monthly maintenance on the machine so it was not covered. In August, the sink backed up. Again, no plumber would deal with CHW and after waiting several days I ended up with Roto Rooter after being told to "get my own contractor” if I was in such a big hurry!!! Roto Rooter showed up and called the company to get an approval. I was told that they charged too much and that I would have to pay for it out of my own pocket. $235 later the technician told me that I should make them reimburse me for the claim. When I called they informed that I could fill out a form but they would only reimburse $95 since $235 is way too much for that service in my area.

    I argued until I was able to get them to agree to $140 in reimbursement. I waited 3 weeks with no check. I finally called and was told it was approved for payment on 9/11 and would go out in the mail on 9/13. On the following Thursday (9/19) I called and was told that the check went out and that I should expect it no later than the following Monday. Tuesday rolls around and no check. I call again. Ooopppsss...there was a glitch and they were going to expedite my request and the check would go out that week (meaning Friday since checks only go out on Friday) which should have put the check in my hands by no later than 10/1.

    To make a long story short...I talked to Russell, William, Amanda, Emeril, Scott, etc. and every time got a different story as to why I had not received a check. When I talked to Amanda she contacted the Accounting Dept. who had no record of any check being sent or for that matter, even requested. Again, it was going to be "expedited". Last Wednesday I called again and was told the check would definitely go out on Friday. When I requested it be FedEx'd I was told that "no way in hell was that going to happen" and that I "needed to learn a little patience"!!!!!!!! I lost my temper and used words that never should have come out of my mouth but had been pushed to my limit.

    After hanging up I called right back and said I wanted to file a claim on that appliance that I was assured was covered when I changed companies and guess what? Sorry...but that isn't covered. I immediately requested that they cancel my policy. I called yesterday AGAIN to find out where my refund was and...you got it...I will not be receiving a refund since I canceled my policy! I was told that since I didn't honor the contract they were not obligated to refund my money. When I asked why I should give them money every month so that they can deny my claims or tell me to get my own contractor and pay up front myself I was told that's "how it works".

    My file indicates that I used 'foul language' and that 'under no circumstances am I to receive a refund'. Talking to Russell yesterday (again) he GUARANTEED me that he would find a way to get me my money and that I would get a call from him today. You guessed it...NO CALL!

    I find it interesting that up until October 8th, there was NOTHING but red star ratings for Choice Home Warranty! I also find it interesting that on the evening of October 7th, I mentioned to the supervisor there that I should have got online and checked to see if there were any complaints against them before signing up for one of their policies. I mentioned how many different websites has numerous complaints against them.... some 800+. Then, lo and behold, on October 8th, there are nothing but 5 green stars on every last one of the reviews. It would be fun to know how many of those 'reviews' were CHW employees. Check other sites after you read through these.... same story over and over.

    I can’t remember how I got to Choice Home Warranty. I know it was on the web. I think they were just the first people that called back. And then we just started negotiating prices and they kept coming down and down. We’ve submitted three claims. All three times, we’ve gotten the numbers right away. There was only one time we had a problem. They gave us the name of a plumber and we called him and he gave us the runaround saying he hadn’t gotten the paperwork yet. In the end, it turned out he didn’t want to work for them anymore. So he was just lying.

    We told Choice Home Warranty and they said, “Sorry about that. We’ll get you somebody new.” But then they wound up reassigning us the same guy. So that was the only problem we ever had. We called them back and said, “You just assigned us the same guy.” And they got us another person right away. My mom is taking care of talking with the claims rep. This is actually my mother’s house. I got it for her. I have all the information together but when something goes wrong, she does the call. But she has never complained. She has always been very happy. It was fast and easy.

Choice then emailed me and requested that I call their office. The representative that I spoke with put me on hold for quite some time and proceeded to tell me that my claim was denied because the serviceman said I had 3 units and that it did not just stop working and my coverage had only been in effect for 4 days when I called for service! To start with, I have only 2 units which I disclosed at the time of purchasing my policy and like I told her the unit still works. I just noticed it wasn't working the way it had in the past. Due to a choice word from me she terminated the call. I spoke with the service tech and he said they told him they were denying the claim because I had coverage for less than 30 days and they didn't feel it just quit working. I am asking for a full refund and will not recommend this company to anyone. The service tech by the way told me that they were going to stop doing business with Choice Home warranty because they deny most claims and are not honest about the information given from the service techs.

    We discovered that our A/C unit was leaking water all over our basement during a very hot week this summer. This was during the weekend so we had to wait until Monday for service which we weren't too happy about. However, we received a call from our assigned service provider first thing on Monday and they came just when they said they would. Once they discovered the problem, they promptly took care of it. They were very polite and efficient and we were quite happy with the service. They also gave us some great advice on making our unit last longer which we have been careful to follow.

    I returned to our apartment and when we tried to dry the laundry our dryer was tumbling but not drying. I called Choice Home Warranty and followed the instructions, leave name, phone number and problem and someone will contact you. I thought "here we go"... but within one hour I received a return call and a licensed dryer service company was identified. This company set up a service appointment that same week. It was determined that the motor needed to be replaced; Choice Home Warranty needed to approve the repair and did so within five days. The motor was ordered and installed one week later. I paid the co-payment amount that I was told when I signed my contract with Choice Home Warranty, not a penny more for this replacement of the motor... I am satisfied and have two contracts with Choice for both my homes and will renew when the first year is up.

    We had Choice Home Warranty when we bought the home. I think we just renewed after that initial one was up. The experience when submitting a claim has all been pretty good. I called the call center and got in touch with the technician pretty quickly. I’m happy. It’s been a helpful tool. It’s always been easy to use. The only thing I might say, I talked to them about possibly renewing my plan. I was getting close to the end of the term and they said, “Okay, we’ll have somebody in sales call you.” And this guy called me and started giving me prices and he was just extremely pushy, like would not let me get off the phone, would not let me tell him no, would not let me say, “I’ll call you back,” and ended up just having to hang up on him. So I’m not going to be renewing with them. We’re probably selling the house soon anyway, so not much of an issue. But he was a very annoying salesman. But everyone I’ve ever called into when the air conditioner dies or whatever, they’ve always been fine.

    We purchased Choice Home Warranty because my parents suggested it. They kept after me for about two years. Finally, I saw an advertisement on the internet and thought to check it out. The services and price sounded like an excellent value. Six weeks after we purchased the warranty, my washing machine decided not to spin. I called Choice Home Warranty and they had a repairman here within 48 hours. The guy fixed it and all we paid was the $45.00 service fee. The same evening when I came home and did a load of laundry, it did not spin.

    I called back and the guy returned, did not charge an additional $45.00 and replaced something else. My washer works perfectly. What happened is that the repairman ran the machine empty and a sensor failed when the clothes were in the machine. I am thrilled with Choice Home Warranty. They are very helpful and provide services within a timely manner. I suggested to my adult kids and neighbors to purchase this service.

It was late afternoon when I came home. We called Choice and somebody came out that evening. He could not fix it because he had to order a part but he came back the next day, midday.

    They told me who to call. They had emails, or whatever, to text somebody that I needed service on an air conditioner. Nobody contacted me from that first provider. We will call it the technical support. I called them up and they told me, “One of our trucks is down. We won’t be able to service you.”

    I go, “Wouldn’t you tell Choice Warranty when they call in for a service, ‘We’re down’?” I mean, if you can’t come to service me, a person who’s bought enough plan for the next three years... so that they would have immediately put me on to another. They had all my contact numbers. They would have been able to call me and tell me that, “We’re getting another provider for you because this guy’s out.” I had to find that out. So I had called Choice Warranty. I said, “Give me another tech support on this air conditioning.” Because they didn’t know the person they sent me, who was originally supposed to service me, was down for the count. So then there was the next person, that guy who showed up at the residence to work on the air conditioner. I stayed with the guy. He worked outside on an air conditioning unit which needed a motor repaired, a condenser replaced, and then something that was not covered by the insurance, which would be a breaker box. It was like a two-hour thing. And I was pretty pleased. We got things back. But they had an extra day of no air conditioning because of the miscommunication of the first tech person.

    I’m 100% paid upfront. I paid up for three years plus. Choice Warranty didn’t mention it’s my first call. The tech company, either one or two didn’t mention that, “You won’t have to be paying us because it’s free.” And I, of course, wrote a check for the air conditioning repair that wasn’t covered plus the $45 service call which they want before they open up the air conditioner, before they walk on the property basically. I’d give them a 4. The cost of the plan was good. The service call is good because I’m familiar with it and what they’re offering here. There needs to be some fine tuning on that. As soon as they make contact with a person in that city where the service is going to be, that person has got to know, “We can do it.”

    My AC broke down and I checked to see if it was covered by my CHW policy. It was and I could find nothing in the exceptions. Contacted CHM and they assigned a HVAC contractor to diagnose the problem. Contractor stated that a failed capacitor caused the compressor to short out and I would need a new compressor and capacitor. The contractor called the CHW technician and said that the part failed due to wear and tear as no other direct cause could be found.

    CHW denied the claim stating that the compressor must have failed due to a manufacturer’s defect and therefore was not covered. The CHW HVAC disagreed and told me that they said there was no way to determine if there was a mechanical defect unless the compressor was torn apart and examined but it was likely that some part just wore out. The CHW representative was rude and insisted that their technicians knew more than the contractor they sent to diagnose the problem. He also pointed out that CHW paid me a $300 claim two years earlier for a pool pump that failed so I should not argue with this determination. Do not use this company.

    I had American Home Shield and I had that for over 20 years. But they just kept raising and raising and raising their prices and it just kept going. The service wasn’t like I expected. So that’s why we chose to change to Choice Home Warranty. As for submitting a claim with Choice, it went pretty good except he had to come back again the next time. Because when he took everything apart, he forgot to plug something back in and everything had to be thrown out again. The problem was fixed pretty quickly. He came back again. The interaction with the claims rep was very good. I like the way they answered my call from when I called and they had someone there right away. And they’re very thorough.

    It was just the price that made me chose Choice over other home warranty providers. And some of the reviews I read were pretty good. I have submitted two claims. The first one was easy. They sent someone out. They replaced the garbage disposal and tightened the leaks on the toilet or something. And then I called again. I had an electrical issue. But it turns out the problem was outside the house so they didn’t cover it. Interaction with the claims rep was fine. So far, I’m happy with them. It was quick and easy.

    He said I had a small leak in the unit and it would need about 3 lbs of Freon. Two weeks later it is out again. Service guy says Choice won’t cover it. I pays the guy $190. He says it needs a part. He says they will not cover that either. I call the company 4 times to be put on hold each time. They tell me the repairman says he saw rust in the unit. I am calling someone on my own. I will be writing to Austin & a letter to the FTC and file a direct complaint. This is a rip-off company at its worse.

    I purchased Choice last year & filed two claims this year. The first was on my pool cleaner pump motor & they denied this saying it was a “Pre-existing condition”. It may have actually been correct previously by Choice, but I cannot prove this. Anyway your technician gave you the report that all work was done correctly & the motor bearings were bad & needed replacing. Still you refused the claim.

    Secondly, I had an AC unit go out. Again you refused this claim saying the unit was not maintained. The unit was installed in 1986 and has been meticulously maintained to keep it running this long. Choice advertises that they will Warrant the household items Regardless of Age. In my opinion this is a Bold Face Lie. The statement you made is the condenser is rusted. I agree - It’s due to age - Not lack of maintenance. I will urge anyone thinking of Choice for Home Warranty to think Twice before believing you.

    Choice does not stand behind their word and what they sell. I paid extra for septic system. Plain as day in the book, it states Aerobic Pump included. These people don't even know what one is so would not send a tech out to check until tanks were pumped out. I agreed to do so. Then they tell me they don't have a tech to come and check the pump so they can't service. Agreed to give me a full refund. I should have never left American Home Shield. So if you are thinking of purchasing a Home Warranty, I would think real hard before buying one from Choice Home Warranty.

    Coil or compressor - not sure which because their tech said it was the coil and another tech that was with them said it was the compressor. My tenant had gotten a 2nd opinion from the previous tech, who is no longer with Choice. They said my unit was not serviced properly throughout the years and according to their information for a unit up north, it should have a lifespan of 20 years. I just replaced one in another house that also was the same age. Not happy at all. When I asked for a refund on the balance of my months, they said because I'd had repairs they were more than the cost of the plan, so they would not give me a refund. I was never told that they used the repairs done as basis for no refunds. I had a condensation pump replaced and a light switch replaced, a toilet mechanism replaced (I could have done this myself as I've done it many times, but my tenant did not know how to do this); the garage door opener screw came loose from the wall and was hanging down (this was a matter of 3 screws that needed to be put back in....again I could have done this had I been living in the same area).

    DO NOT BUY A POLICY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! The compressor on my air conditioner went out. I called in a claim and a technician from Midtown Mechanical came out and verified that the compressor was out. He said he saw no problem with the compressor being replaced by Choice. It was previously replaced in 2008 and it went out in September of 2013. The technician called Choice with his findings and they denied the claim saying the compressor should not have gone out in the 5 year time frame. The compressor is NOT under any warranty now. Choice said that was too bad it wasn't under warranty, but they would not pay the claim. I paid for the Choice policy in good faith expecting that a claim would be honored. Supposedly they pay for air conditioners that go out, but I guess they can decide if they don't want to pay a claim. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE.

However, when the service tech came out and called in the problem, the tank of the water heater is not covered. This is the largest component of a water heater. "Sorry not covered" was the reply. We also had a previous claim denied with the air condition unit. Again, was told verbally it was covered when purchased the warranty and again it indicates such on the website.

    I signed up with CHW in 2013, after a phone sales I got from a CHW representative that assured me that if anything that is covered under this policy will be repaired and or replaced if the service company can't fix it. All sounded too good to be true but I signed up anyway. In September 11, 2013, I had an A/C company out at my residence to check and see the reason of the A/C unit (one of two) did not cool properly. The technician charged me for the service call $45 and then he said that I have to pay him another $249 to diagnose what the problem was, since "leak detection" is not covered by CHW. Anyway, I paid the technician who went in the attic, looked inside the cooler and in 5 minutes determined that the cooler is leaking and it should be replaced, even though he said that the cooler looks clean for that to happen. Most coolers he said will leak because that rust in time, but he did not see one leaking and be as clean as mine.

    Anyway, he sent his report to CHW only to find out the next day that they denied my claim, due to the fact that they consider that as a pre-existing problem and they don't cover that. I live in Houston, TX where the A/C works hard all the time and something like that will not take 4 months to lose all the Freon. I called and cancelled my contract at which point the CHW agent said he is willing to give me $400 toward replacing the cooler because that is the national average for something like this. The technician told me that the repair will be somewhere between $1200 and $1400. I refused CHW offer and cancelled the policy anyway. Hope nobody will ever sign with this scammer of a company. They are a JOKE. I hope soon for the sake of so many customers that they will go bankrupt. One star rating is way too much for this company.

    We have had two unfavorable experiences with Choice and their representatives. My first was a stoppage in the bathroom. A rep was sent out who really didn't want to work and he said as much, when trying to diagnose the problem he made an assumption without actually checking. He then sent in his solution to the problem and I only knew this after I called Choice to see when it would be repaired only to find out he had reported that my toilet was cracked and he could not diagnose without removing it which then would have caused more damage. All of this was untrue. Choice then told me I had to prove this was not the case by submitting photos for them to review and make a decision.

    After fighting with them for about a month and having to do some of the work, they finally sent another contractor out to unstop the toilet. The contractor also mentioned that Choice was not a good company for honoring their contracts. We then had a problem later with the microwave & dishwasher where they sent a contractor out who looked at both appliances then said he'd have to charge for 2 service calls even though he looked at one then turned around to look at the other one. RIPOFF! The contractor said that he thought they would not honor the replacement cause of their history and he was right. Choice decided they would give a cash out which was less than half of what a replacement would be on the microwave and a flat $250 on the dishwasher which also was less than half to replace with the extract same appliance.

    I wish we had also looked at BBB and complaint blog before getting their service. We are so dissatisfied. Customer service is the worst I have ever experienced. If you disagree with them they will hang up on you.

    On Thursday August 29th, 2013, I placed a call for service on an air conditioner unit covered under warranty by Choice Home Warranty. They in turn sent out an authorized service provider who confirmed the compressor failed due to normal wear and tear. All conditions of coverage were met for a repair to commence. I live in the Phoenix metropolitan area and temperatures ranged from a high of 98-108 throughout this 6 day time period. Over the telephone, a supervisor named Laura speculated that the AC unit may have been damaged by an electrical strike although the authorized service provider concluded that an 11 year lifetime for an air conditioner in Arizona is the typical lifespan of such a unit.

    If Choice Home Warranty were to consult with HVAC specialists in Arizona, they would be armed with the information that a typical lifespan of a compressor in a desert environment running 8-9 months annually is in the 10 year range. According to Laura, who is not a certified HVAC technician, this denial of services is based solely on their belief that an AC lifespan is 18 years. In the Midwest or East Coast, this may be true since air conditioning is typically used 3-4 months per year.

    At the time of this writing, I believe in good faith that Choice Home Warranty is in violation of our signed agreement and has failed to provide service as per their conditions outlined in the home service agreement. As a consumer who has paid $35.83 monthly since July 2012 as well as the $45.00 service call for a technician to examine the AC and attempt to obtain prior authorization to repair the compressor under the terms agreed upon in the contract, I feel that their practices are deceiving and fraudulent.

    If you are considering a home warranty on your AC, water heater, etc. I suggest you view the BBB website where Choice Home Warranty has been given a grade of F, possibly due to the fact that they have 755 complaints in addition to the one I just submitted. I wish I would have checked Consumer Affairs and the BBB prior to purchasing this agreement. My suggestion to anyone would be to do the same. More than likely I will be stuck paying $2300 out of pocket while I have been under the impression that I was protected from this type of situation while faithfully making payments, believing their business practices were ethical.

The Choice Home Warranty didn't cover it because they said it was storm relative, okay plus I had to pay the contractor that showed up, even they didn't understand why it wasn't covered. Months after I call in another claim with my air conditioner. It took almost a week to get a contractor to come and check out the problem. On the day that the contractor is supposed to come, he never showed up so now they were trying to assign it to another contractor. Finally, they get another one. They come over and the contractor calls the warranty and again Choice Home didn't cover again. The contractor didn't know why. The contractor told me that this warranty is no good of which I had a feeling. It's been almost a year that I've been paying for this Choice Home Warranty on time every month getting deducted out of my banking acct. I'm so mad with the company. It's such a scam.

When I talked to the service agent or supervisor, I think he told me anything which could relate to preexisting condition will not be covered which I asked him could be anything as with the old appliance there will be something which you don't know would have been going on for long time and breaks after you bought the policy. So according to them, it's not covered as it's due to pre-existing condition, and what I understood there cannot be anything that they cover because anything breaking in your house will be due some pre-existing link.

    I called yesterday to get my air conditioner serviced. The first person I spoke with was a lady. She told me I owed $141.67. I was stunned because I had paid $141.67 on 7/22/13. I first saw the advertisement for this company in my emails so I filled out a form. 10 min. later, I got a call from a Scott **, a salesperson. He explained the payments are $45.00 per month or somewhere around that. I told him to call me back on that Friday when my check loaded. Well, he called me that next week. He said if I paid $141.67, that would be for 3 months and I would get an additional month free. He said I could pay quarterly so I would be paid up for 4 months and would receive a bill after the fourth month. I told him it sounds like a good deal so I agreed. So after I spoke to the lady, I called my bank to make sure the payment had come out and it DID. So I called back, spoke with a Michael **. He refused to give his ID#. He said that Scott couldn't have told me that.

    I reiterated what was told to me. He said that the system wouldn't allow him to set an appointment for me for service even though I had paid for 3 months up front so I asked for a supervisor. He transferred me to Supervisor Russ, ID **. He refused to give me last name. He was very rude. He told me no way Scott could have said that (which makes me a liar). He said that there was nothing he could do for me. He offered no solutions at all.

    He also was very rude and didn't try to service me at all. So I told him I was going to call corporate office. He told me if I called the corporate office that he was not going to refund my money or service me at all. Then he hung up. After that I called the sales office. I spoke to a John **, supervisor of sales. He said that oh no way Scott told me that. Scott just wouldn't do that. I was stunned. In the first place, I had no reason to lie. In the second place, if he hadn't told me I could pay quarterly, I would have just paid monthly but he acted like he was giving me such a sweet deal. After I hung up with him, I received at least 3 more calls from so-called supervisors at that office from these numbers: 732 379 5307... 855 810 8388... 888 273 5325.

There are so many people on the internet that have complained about your services. You held my money for a month and when I needed the service, you refused to provide it and asked for more money. My son-in-law is an attorney and I have him looking into this matter. I cannot believe you ripped me off and then would not try to make amends and even got nasty with me... This is just the beginning. I am sending this letter to BBB and to my attorney and it will be on the internet, Facebook and the newspaper because everyone needs to know that this company is a scam.
