    I have been with CHW since 2016, and I must say that since the recent request was put in for my 9 year old furnace replacement that I was very disappointed. I have an out of pocket expense of $930 plus $60 deductibles on 2 occasions. Before I switched from one home warranty to CHW I have never had to pay anything out of pocket with the exception of my deductible. I may have to make changes when my warranty expires!

    Very dissatisfied with Choice. I had just renewed my warranty with them for the fourth consecutive year when my washing machine broke down in mid cycle. Prior to this I only had a small claim of $400.00 when my garage door malfunctioned. I filed a claim for my washer and a technician came out to look at the problem. He said I would be contacted by Choice when they made their decision. The very next day I received a denial letter stating it was not due to normal wear and tear. I had a hearing and was denied. Their rationale was that since the gear case broke it never would have happened under wear and tear. They said it would only break if I overloaded the machine, if it had sediment in it or it was moved and damaged. I explained that I was a senior citizen, only one who used the machine and none of the above happened. I was still denied.

    I couldn’t move the washer if I tried and only washed small loads as I live alone. They still denied my claim but offered me $150. I would have to pay the rest to have it repaired out of my pocket. This warranty is not worth the paper it is written on. Cancelled my warranty and will use that money to buy a new washer. They are very quick to take your money but I have to wait 15 -30 days to get my money back. I now have a new warranty with American Home Shield Gold plan that they were offering with a 50 percent discount for a year and has better coverage. Will never recommend Choice to anyone.

    I just canceled my policy with Choice Home Warranty (CHW) as they always found a spurious reason to not cover my claim and, in the process, I ended up being charged for three different service call fees for the same problem, which is a garbage disposal not powering on. The first claim I filed was denied because the plumber they sent noted that there was a leak (which I did not see) and very small rust. CHW reasoned that these are pre-existing conditions and are uncovered under the terms and conditions. After this, I attempted to cancel the policy during which a resolution specialist convinced me to stay with them in exchange for a reduced service call fee and monthly premium as well as opening a new ticket for the same problem.

    I agreed to stay and so they sent a second plumber who the. diagnosed the problem to be electrical. To me this is not surprising since the issue is garbage disposal not powering on. They close the ticket and asked me to open a third one for electrical problem. This was the last straw and I canceled the policy. Policyholders should remember that the way CHW operates is they always charge you for the service call fee whenever you file a new claim even for an existing same problem. And you need to file a new claim because they would close an existing claim once a diagnosis is made even if the problem has not been fixed. The worst thing is you can’t sue them in a court of law, only with their preferred arbitrator. Choice Home Warranty is out to get your money in the most blatant and despicable manner.

    This company always find ways to deny the claim. Everything is preexisting. If it's not new, it will be denied. The reason people get warranty is because things break down when it gets old but to them it's preexisting and therefore not covered. Don't get fooled and waste your money. I have had other home warranty but this is the worst.

I called for claim and they sent repair company after 10 days then CHW said this company can not repair so we have to send new company to repair. Second person came and CHW said, "Your claim is not approved." I called to cancel the contract and CHW manager Prince said, "You have to keep one year, not full refund."

    Do not get fooled with the lower upfront cost. This is some sort of shady scheme. You will not able to get your appliances issues fixed with $100 service fees. You have to shell out at least $200 ($100 diagnosis + $100 for actual service) to get your problem fixed, that too after a long delay and frequent follow-ups.

The technician promptly submitted the repair report, and within another two days, we received approval for the refrigerator to be replaced rather than repaired. Our only concern is the timeline—we were informed that it could take up to 30 days to receive the Lowe’s e-gift certificate for the replacement, which seems unreasonable.

    Our nearly 20 year old microwave finally gave up on us, so we filed a claim with CHW (our first). The technician they sent was great - he worked efficiently and was very courteous. He confirmed that there was no way to replace the broken part due to the age of the microwave, so CHW would replace it. We had a great experience to this point, and were even considering renewing our warranty at the end of its term.

    Then we got the replacement offer - a Lowe's e-gift card in an amount too low to cover even the cheapest microwave at Lowe's. I called to appeal, but they said that was all they could do because it's the amount they can buy a microwave for wholesale, even though they won't buy and replace it themselves. They did offer to mail a check instead of the Lowe's card, but we still have to find and buy a microwave at retail price, including tax, after already paying for the home warranty and service fee. It will take up to 30 days for them to send the check. I'm not sure how they can consider this "replacing" our appliance since we're doing the bulk of the work and still having to pay out of pocket for even the cheapest replacement (and hope they actually send us the check).

    To cap it off, the case manager I spoke to was patronizing and the "appeals process" was basically him reiterating what CHW said in an email without any chance of changing the amount - a complete waste of time. This has been a huge headache over a microwave, but I'm glad we now know that Choice Home Warranty is basically a scam before needing to make a bigger claim. We'll be saving our money in an emergency fund rather than giving it to CHW in the future.

    The major problem with Choice Home Warranty is the kind of Companies you use to serve your customers. We had one first Pluming Co. (RITE COST PLUMBING) that is really bad, mostly 2 to 3 Stars in all reviews. It is really frustrating having to spend 6 days in a hotel, because you guys work with so mediocre companies. The second company was extremely good. Polite, on time and showing care for us. Really detail explanation of the problem. (ARIZONA DRAIN PROS) I will give them 5 stars. Choice Home Warranty needs to be more selective when it come to the Companies they use.

The technician indicated this is a health issue with the issues he discovered. I have 21 images from the technician, I can forward of the safety and health items he discovered.

    We started a claim with Choice Home Warranty. They assigned American Moose Mechanical (Branden **) to come and do an inspection. Branden spent considerable time tearing into the system and found some minor issues which he fixed. He took time to go around the house checking various vents for the presence of CO gas, which he found nothing which would cause us any danger. He changed the filter and buttoned up the furnace after he told us even though the unit was older he did not see that it was any health issues or that it wasn't functioning properly.

Ordered parts to be sent to my home. This took several days. I checked part number against part number ordered. Numbers not match. I called CHW. Was told a technician would have to confirm. Another 10 days! He came, confirmed wrong part. Reordered, parts came, correct parts. Was notified by CHW that the original techs had resigned from contract and CHW would assign another tech company.

    Another 10 days. The bottom line, 60 days without oven! #2:A/C started freezing up, low on refrigerant. Tech came and topped off, said that was all he could do. No leak check. My regular HVAC man did leak check. Leak detected. CHW manager said he would send his original tech out and do a leak check. He arrived and someone from CHW called him off and canceled leak check.

    I'm a customer of CHW since 2019 and have no major claims, although I did have a fridge they should've replaced since their contractor couldn't repair it. They didn't, cause they said it was due to neglect because the pic that was sent showed dust on the coils, which were actually covered with the fridge cover plate before the tech took the pic. They assumed it was uncovered, even though the problem was the result of "normal wear & tear." Once I realized they thought it was uncovered the whole time it was too late. It was only uncovered when it was removed by their repairman while diagnosing it. So I paid for a new fridge ($1200).

    But now I have another issue with my furnace that they can't repair so it needs to be replaced. Their contract will only cover up to $3000 at their discretion and the remainder of the costs for the furnace and labor is on me or they will replace it with one of equal value. So I paid all these ($85) monthly bills for almost 6 yrs (thousands of dollars) and now when I need them, all they will pay toward my furnace is $2600. They're garbage as far as I'm concerned.

    Choice Home Warranty: Definitely Not Recommended. I previously had a great home warranty company, but due to increasing restrictions by my state, they were forced to stop providing service. After extensive research, I chose Choice Home Warranty (CHW). Big mistake. I paid $49.25 per month to cover my entire home.

    Seven months in, my Asko dishwasher needed a new control panel. I filed a claim and had to use CHW's contractors. One company confirmed the control panel needed replacing with a genuine Asko part and said they’d return in a week. They didn’t. After a week of no work and unanswered texts, the contractor finally responded three weeks later, stating he was out of the country and having trouble sourcing the part.

    I contacted CHW and they reassigned the repair to another company. They came out, confirmed the issue, and promised to return in a week with the part. They didn’t. After two weeks of silence, they advised me to contact CHW again. This time, CHW offered a $357 Home Depot gift card to replace my dishwasher. Not acceptable for several reasons: 1) Home Depot doesn’t carry Asko products, 2) $357 is only 1/5 of the cost of my dishwasher, and 3) I don’t support a forced relationship between CHW and Home Depot. My case was referred to a Case Relations Specialist. After a week, I was contacted and explained my situation. Though I disagreed with the settlement, I accepted a check instead of a Home Depot gift card. The transaction was processed immediately and I received the check four weeks later.

    The story doesn’t end here. I contacted Asko USA and learned they only have one parts supplier in the country. The part could be ordered for $365 and delivered in five days. CHW had strung me along for two months only to opt for replacement unnecessarily. I cancelled my policy and, during the cancellation call, was told replacement isn’t like-for-like. Despite multiple attempts to retain me as a customer, my policy was cancelled. As a final blow, CHW attempted to charge my account two days early for the monthly payment due on the 20th. After unsuccessfully trying to reverse the payment, I was told to do what I like. California's strong consumer protections fortunately work in my favor.

    It doesn’t end there. My son in Texas signed up with CHW at the same time. Over the same period, he submitted four claims, two of which were for: Repair of an electrical connection from the circuit breaker to an external junction box. CHW denied coverage because the circuit also powered a pool light, which wasn’t included in the plan.

    Replacement of a garage door spring. CHW denied coverage due to the age of the garage door, deeming it past its end of life. He found a local company that replaced the springs and pulleys, inspected and serviced the system for $250. The repair was completed immediately and the company followed up to ensure satisfaction, even offering discounts for future services. This is how a company should operate—providing fair, honest service at reasonable prices. They will surely grow and provide jobs, all by maintaining integrity.

They noted I had to send them on Carrier Inc letterhead the fact the warranty expired. I quickly went online and produced the warranty record and uploaded it to the Choice site as recommended. It is noted I would hear something on my appeal within 24 to 48 hours.

    It has been more than 24 as of this note. My assigned agent has not even called. Hopefully this will get taken care of promptly.

    Each time I have used the service the technician has never had the parts needed on hand which entails another downtime for the appliance. With my plumbing issue, I had to get the needed part myself. When I had my refrigerator serviced the technician made 2 or 3 extra appointments in order to get parts. When he couldn’t repair the refrigerator he gave up and Choice gave me an allowance of money to replace the refrigerator at Lowe’s. I felt it unfair they dictated where I had to buy the replacement plus it took almost a month to get the Lowe’s voucher.

    I was without use of the refrigerator for over a month from start to finish. That was unfair. In ending my evaluation it seems it takes too long to get repairs done. Getting appointments are fine and the technicians come when they are scheduled. It just takes too long for the technicians to complete their work. Other than the time factor, I am currently satisfied with Choice but the time issue causes the 3-star rating.

    I got absolutely no help from Choice Home Warranty after hours on the phone. Choice closed my claim while the part was ordered to my house and the technician stood in my kitchen but couldn’t complete the repair after paying the deductible on the first visit. At this point I was so disgusted I offered to pay the deductible again but I was told I would have to pay the entire amount of over $300. I had to open a second claim and pay the deductible again to have the repair completed. Both technicians were great and very apologetic since it took 5 months to get my ice maker replaced. So far a big waste of a lot of money.

    My LG front-load clothes washer developed a hole in the gasket/diaphragm. After submitting the claim Choice took over 48 hours to locate a vendor. Once the vendor was located it was going to be another 6 days before the clothes washer would be repaired. I ended contacting the repair person direct. Requested they stop out as soon as possible to diagnose the problem (easily identified - hole in the gasket). Once confirmed, told by the repair tech it would take another 5-14 days for a part. Unacceptable, especially when LG parts are available from online appliance suppliers/vendors. Too long of a process and no follow-up from Choice.

    This is not my first experience filing a claim with Choice. My first one was dragged out for months and resulted in a reimbursement which was less than half of the expense I incurred to get a replacement. This time the decision to deny my claim came as the technician was leaving my house. Clearly, Choice warranty claims to have superior coverage but in reality will do anything not to pay out a claim. I will tell everyone to steer clear of purchasing a warranty through Choice. It is not worth the money or headache.

    Stay away from Choice Home Warranty. I just had an electric water heater go bad. Choice Home Warranty sent a technician and I paid the service call fee. Next I get an email from Choice Home Warranty saying “Congratulations your claim is approved” and that the non-covered costs to install the new water heater would be $568!!! How absurd! What good is a home warranty when you’re required to pay that kind of money for “non-covered installation costs”??? I could buy a water heater at Lowe’s and install it myself, all for less than $568. I also paid extra to have my hot tub covered under my warranty policy but when it broke CHW would not repair it. I will certainly not be renewing my policy with CHW.

    The WORST home warranty company I've ever dealt with. I chose it because it was the cheapest, but I guess "You get what you pay for" is true. They will send a technician who comes in his own vehicle with a small tool box (that anyone pretty much has) who's unable to fix issues, and they'll deny your claim after having you pay the service fee. It takes a while to get a tech scheduled, too -- not sure if that's because they're looking for cheap/unreliable technicians.

He sent the information in to Choice and the next day Choice approved a new gas furnace for me. I'm just waiting now for it to be installed on October 24th. I have to pay $1746 in other charges to get installed but it's still cheaper for me than buying a new one outright. I'm satisfied.

    This warranty company is terrible. They give you the run around on claims. They only cover 3000.00 for air conditioner units and all components in a 12 month period. This doesn't even come close to touching close to the cost. When I spoke to the person that sold me the policy originally, they lead me to believe that I would have a peace of mind of knowing that I would be out of pocket very little. That is and has not been the case. There are much better warranty companies out there that coverage limits are higher. Buyer beware!!!!

    Avoid Choice Home Warranty – Untrustworthy and Deceptive. I am extremely disappointed with Choice Home Warranty and strongly advise against using this company. From the start, they were untrustworthy and deceptive. Despite having a valid contract with a previous company, they failed to inform me that I didn’t need to go through a 30-day grace period.

    The CEO is unresponsive, and all their case managers have done nothing but waste my time. I filed a pool/spa claim over a month ago, and they've been lied to me repeatedly. The first contractor delayed the appointment for over a month, then claimed I wasn’t home — even though I have security camera footage proving otherwise. The second contractor didn’t show up after a 10-day delay. When the third finally came, they denied my claim, citing physical damage instead of normal wear and tear, even though the equipment is over 10 years old. Today, they reiterated the same denial, blaming the issue on motor failure.

    This company has terrible communication and constantly lies, making the situation worse instead of resolving the problem. They failed to guide me on maintaining my previous warranty when I signed with them, breaching their contract. Choice Home Warranty has treated me poorly, and their dishonesty is appalling. I strongly recommend avoiding this company at all costs. They remain in breach of contract, and I am considering legal action for the material, health risks, and damages they have caused me and my family.
