I tell Cinch Home Services what's going on and they take care of the rest, which is nice. Also, the monthly payments are reasonable. However, we still haven't had the work for my air conditioner completed. Cinch is waiting for parts to come in. I last talked to the people a week ago. We're into the second week. I didn't hear from them last week and I haven't heard from them this week. But they do what they need to do. I would recommend them to other people.
Ebany, Fantastic service is what we aim to provide, and we are excited to hear that you are pleased with our services. We will be glad to have one of our experienced team members follow up on your air conditioning service request to provide you with the status and answer any questions you may have. Sincerely, Billie

Cinch sent someone over for the water heater. They said the tank dropped and something about the architecture reason that the tank shouldn’t drop like this. Therefore, they said it was not covered. But then according to the contract, it’s considered pre-condition. I filed a complaint, and then they sent a second technician in to do another evaluation, and reported it the same way that the tank needs to be replaced. Cinch approved only up to $1,000, although the tank itself costs $4,000. They said anything about maximum liability, and that's all they would pay for. But that was never in the contract when I purchased the contract. Regardless, it will be covered. There's no maximum liability language. But I didn’t want to argue because I've been waiting back and forth with Cinch for weeks. Now, I am about to get the plan canceled.
Luis, we are sorry to hear about your recent experience with Cinch. We value your feedback and the opportunity to resolve any issues our customers may have. A member of my team will be reaching out to you to address your concerns. - Christine

Stay away form Cinch home warranty. Submitted a claim for our water heater. After 10 days with cold water and to call to complain. The next day they said all that is covered is $1000... we already paid $200 so we'll be getting $800 from them. Our yearly premium is $683 so... totally not worth it. Their representatives were completely inflexible too. Cinch is a no go.
Brad, We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your coverage. Your plan has a cap limit for the water heater, which is explained in the terms and conditions of your agreement. The policy also provides coverage for many other items under the premiums you paid for the coverage. We value your feedback about your claim experience.- Christine

I submitted an a/c service request online in the first week of May. A technician arrived May 7th and determined that it was an electrical issue instead. I was advised by Cinch that I should give them 48 hrs to receive the diagnostic. I gave them 72 hrs, only to be advised that they still have yet to receive the diagnostic from the service provider, and needed to wait another 48 hrs! I asked "Isabella" for a supervisor and she was SO RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, denied my request, and told me she could hang up on me because she sensed the aggravation in my voice! I told her i will just call back! Upon calling back, the next associate was more helpful, despite being told I would have to wait another 48 hrs! Mind you, I was informed by the service provider that they sent the diagnostic report on May 7th, and again on today!! So Cinch, I am NOT a satisfied customer at this point!!!

When I called in to Cinch's customer service, I got to them quickly. The stress and delay was waiting on the third party. There was a miscommunication once where a guy told me seven business days but something was missed in the call so I had to wait another 7 to 10 business days. The freezer wasn't freezing so it caused the refrigerator to not cool down as much as it should. When they diagnosed it, it was determined that we needed additional services. That took another three weeks. It took more time than I would have liked, and the confusion was stressful. But when the contractor came in, they were efficient and did what they had to do. The price is worth it.
Shauntia, We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delays and miscommunication you experienced. We strive to provide efficient service and are glad to hear that our service provider resolved the issue efficiently. Thank you for your understanding and for trusting us to take care of your home warranty needs! Sincerely, Billie

I like Cinch Home Services, but it takes long for them to come to agreement what they need to do. When people have something like refrigerators or appliances, or something dealing with plumbing or heat, Cinch needs to expedite their service more. I pay my copay, and they should expedite their service, and the repair or replacement.
I had an issue with my refrigerator. It took two months in order for Cinch to declare that it cannot be repaired. I paid my deductible and they sent someone out, and immediately, the gentleman said he couldn't fix it. He gave the information to the home warranty people. They said they had no other choice but to replace it. I was not able to prepare my Thanksgiving dinner because I didn't have a refrigerator. I told them to just go on and let me do it myself. I replaced it with what I have. I'm comfortable with it. It's the same quality of refrigerator that I had. But it took at least a month for me to get a replacement refrigerator from them. I didn't get one until the second week of December.
I had some plumbing issues recently. It took a while for Cinch to send somebody out. It was minor. Because the first time they sent someone out, he didn't do what he should have done, then they sent the same person out. He did what he was supposed to. And we haven't had a problem since. Hopefully, we won't have any more problems with that issue with our bathroom.
Dear Carolyn, Thank you for taking the time to provide this honest, thoughtful feedback. We regret to hear of the issues you have faced with the time frames to resolve your claims, and will use this information to improve our processes to ensure more efficient, timely service in the future.

We had a claim for the furnace. We think it was the thermostat. The thermostat works fine when it's the air conditioner, but when it's the furnace, it acts weird. But it never got resolved. We never figured out what was going on. The guy who came out thought it was something else. We never called it back in. We just let it go. But Cinch is there if we need them.

Whenever I have a problem, I call Cinch and the next day, their contractor is here. They call me and make sure the contractor comes. When the first one didn't come when I had one of the problems, Cinch got me another one. The other one was canceled. Cinch told me to take my own contractor then they reimbursed me. Yesterday I spoke to my neighbor about Cinch and he signed up the same day.

We've had a couple of claims and Cinch booked them. They handled them extremely well and they been very reliable as far as having the techs coming out. But for my last claim with my air conditioning unit, they told me that the tech was going to call me but he never did. I waited a few days then they called me back and asked if he scheduled with me and I said no. I also told them that I've tried calling the company that they suggested that we use and nobody ever returned my call. So, the lady said they'd supply another vendor. A couple of hours later, I got a call back from Cinch again and they said they were going to send that same company out.
The gentleman came out yesterday and I don't want him back in my home. He was here maybe 10 minutes and said that he was going to go seal the line. Then he said he'd recharge it and it would be $550 out of pocket. When I asked why was he doing that, he said they were told to get by as cheap as they could. I told him that he was not going to the unit. I'll get another company, pay it out of pocket, and cancel the service with Cinch. Also, when I call in, I don't understand most of the people I talk to.

A couple of years ago, there was a pipe in the bathroom by the bathtub that must have been leaking and the water leak leaked down into my kitchen. Cinch came out and fixed that promptly. But just recently, my furnace broke and I made the claim to Cinch and it was horrible. They had a guy come out and look at the furnace. It took almost a week for him to come out. He tried to get the furnace started again and it didn't. So he figured it needed a part and he let Cinch know. They were supposed to order the part. I kept calling the service provider and he said that it was up to Cinch. I kept calling Cinch and they kept sending me in circles.
A week went by. Two weeks went by. Three weeks went by. There were never any updates as far as what's going on. I had no idea that they were having difficulty finding the parts. But you're supposed to let the consumer know that. I went without heat for almost two months. Maybe it wasn't Cinch’s fault. But it looks like they could have expedited it. The technician was great. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about his job. Because of company downsizes, he had lots of other jobs to do. But he came when he said he was gonna come and did what he was supposed to do. He was calling to find out what the hold-up was and he informed me that Cinch was having issues getting the part. But it finally came in. And my furnace has been working fine since. But I don't need the furnace now.
It is a business and Cinch doesn't care that much about the consumer. I'm 72 years old and I've been around the block a couple of times. I started to drop Cinch. I was hunting and searching for another home warranty company because that was a horrible experience. The temperatures didn't drop too low but I'm living in a house with no heat. I had to turn my gas stove on and buy space heaters, and that was unacceptable. But I kept Cinch as the home warranty. I didn't feel like going through the headache of signing up for another home warranty because most of them are the same. Regardless of where you go, you may have issues with the company. I did some research with other people and they told me they have problems with their home warranty getting things done. But you wanna have it in case something breaks.
Dear Charles, Please know that we understand the importance of clear, timely communication, and sincerely regret to learn that this was not your experience.

While the company did me right by refunding my deductibles on both appliances, the kid that came out with the refrigerator didn’t quite seem to know what to do other than just putting a little bit of Freon in the refrigerator. It is still in the same condition so I will have to have them come back out again to look at it.

Every time we've had something go wrong, Cinch has held up their part of the bargain. There was one time where we had to wait on one person a little bit long to get him out here, but that wasn't Cinch's part. It was for a freezer repair. They were supposed to come one day but didn't come until a couple of days after that. The serviceman got his days mixed up. I called, checked on them and they said that they rescheduled it. Then he had to order parts for it so he wasn't able to fix it that day he came. But when the parts got in, he was able to fix it.

Cinch is prompt and makes things easier if something comes up. They get people out to fix your item that you need fixed. I have submitted three claims with them and not had any problems. The technicians have been well knowledgeable and helpful when they come out to fix things. A technician recently came for a furnace and cleaned it. It cost me $200, but it was worth it to have it done right.

Cinch responds within a reasonable time. The technician that came out was very professional and accommodating. I was a Sunday. He called and said could he come a little earlier. I was going to church but my daughter was there. He said as long as she was of age, that was fine or else I would have had to change it to another day. The work was good. I've had three things done so far that I didn't have to do a request to come back. But I don't like that I have to pay the fee before they come. It is also higher now for someone to come out. It's $150. Also, I had some trouble maneuvering through the website. The way I had to select the dates messed that up so I had to call.

We had a good first experience with Cinch with an AC issue but we just used them for a second time after being a customer for over 3 years and it was awful. 4/24 we were told to utilize a service provider of our choice to repair a circulating pump on our water header as they did not have one for us to use in our area. We did. They asked for an estimate and pics. We did. 4/29 they did ask for additional information on the cause for the repair. We did. The service provider had to simply state the repair was due to normal wear and tear and they told me to submit the invoice. We did. 5/2 they told us how to submit the final invoice to show we paid which the work was completed on 5/2 and we paid in full. We did. The 5/3 they would only approve a fraction of the cost. It was way too late, the work was complete and now we are left owing the difference.
They should had never told us to have the repair done without letting us know they would not cover the full cost. Their communications were not transparent. A case manager did make a change to allow some parts to be covered that were initially denied but they absolutely should have been approved from the get go. The manager would not approve the full reimbursement saying the vendor charged us too much. How would I have known that, they should have never approved the estimate. I am removing myself as a customer. This was unacceptable.

We would be glad to take another look at your claim to ensure you are receiving the full benefit your plan guarantees.

We had good service on our dishwasher. A young guy came out and ordered the parts which came in in a few days then he came back and fixed it. Cinch was also involved when we had a service person come to look at our furnace and the air conditioner and found something that was dangerous about it. The company that they had hired to do it said that they couldn't get to us for a couple of weeks and they felt we needed to get somebody over here. Cinch approved it and told us to go ahead and contact someone locally. We did that, and they had it fixed in a matter of days.
But this last one, we've had three people out here on three different trips. We've been at it for a month now trying to get an ice maker fixed. The first time, they had a guy come out here and he told us that Cinch told him that he was only to diagnose the problem. I had a little bit of a problem with that. He thought it possibly was a valve and that he was gonna ask another guy about it. If that was what he thought it was, he was gonna order the part. He told us too that he thought it was frozen and that we just needed to take everything out of it and let it thaw for 24 to 72 hours. We put our stuff in a little refrigerator down in our basement until we could get somebody here.
I called the company the next day and they told me Cinch closed the ticket. There was never any mention of any parts. I told them I needed somebody to come back so they scheduled again the following week. A guy came out the following week and ordered a part. The following week they got the part and came back, but it was the wrong part. Cinch called me back asking how the service was. I told them what happened, and they said they would find out what was going on. The next day, they called me back and told me they'd ordered the new part. They've been on top of that situation.

No service in my area. I live in Tyler, Texas, 100 miles from Dallas and Cinch has no contractors in my area. Last year, my water heater went out and I immediately filed a claim with Cinch. After 3 days, Cinch finally told me that they do not have any contractors in my area and Cinch would not pay a travel fee for a contractor out of Dallas. I had to find a contractor myself and then pay him to replace my water heater and then sent a copy of the bill to Cinch who then paid me back after deducting a significant amount of the cost. Dozens of emails and phone calls.
It gets worse. My contract with Cinch automatically renewed the following month. When I recently decided to cancel with Cinch, they told me I could not cancel without paying a huge cancellation cost, that amounted to the full monthly cost remaining on the contract. Hundreds of dollars.
These people are bad news. Run, don't walk, to another home warranty company.

However I have a different experience with this home warranty with my A/C claim.
My a/c stopped cooling last week, so I called Cinch, they responded quickly by setting up an appointment with sears contractor to come out check my A/c.
So I had called on Wednesday and the following day on Thursday the sears tech showed out for service appointment for the A/c. He stated that my A/c was not cooling because some part in the coil was broken and was leaking. The tech said he will order the parts needed then stated he will be back following week on Tuesday. That meant from Friday throughout the weekend there will be no A/c despite the temperatures going high.
Then on Saturday, the sears tech called me and stated that he will need some measurements for coil or pan so he can order the parts. He asked me to climb up to the attic to get the measurements and sent to him.
Hello.. " this tech had said that he had already placed the order when he was leaving my house on Thursday, and stated that he will be be back on Tuesday the following week!"
I did not have anything to measure with, and I had no clue what he was referring to which needed to me measured.
I called Cinch and they changed to another contractor, so different tech came out that Tuesday.
The new tech was professional and very kind and answered my question unlike the previous tech from sears who told me that I was wasting time, when I tried to ask questions to clarify what he had said.
Likewise the new tech stated that he would need parts to repair or replace the a/c and he will need approval from Cinch for the repairs/ replacement too.
I got the call from Cinch few hours after the Tech left my house and they stated that they will not approve the claim, and if I want any repair I will have to pay from my pocket.
The person I spoke to went ahead and stated that Cinch had issued $800.00 for the a/c replacement 2-3yrs ago and also the tech who came said that there were some pieces of coil or pan or whatever which were missing, so they won't honor the claim.
I don't recall Cinch paying $800 to replace the coil (a/c) and I do not go up the attic just to pull pieces/ parts from my unit.
Even if they paid this money for coil to be replaced, does it mean that it cannot break down again? Equipments won't work sometimes when they are even brand new, this been 2-3 yrs .
Secondly, where do you get a contractor charging $800.00 to replace your air conditioning /coil?
Because right now I need a contractor to repair/ replace my coil since Cinch is not approving my claim.
I have had this warranty for several years, paid all monthly premium dues and only made 1-2 service request during this period.
The money I have paid over these years is more than $800, which Cinch claims that the issued for A/c replacement.
I would have just kept my money instead of paying this warranty, since no help, when you request for service, absolutely no peace of mind I was looking for when I signed for this warranty.
Feel like I tossed my money right to the drain, no benefit whatsoever for keeping the Cinch warranty, will not recommend this Cinch.

Absolute worst experience of my entire life. I have 3 properties with Cinch warranties, all just under $80/month. I bought the vip plan... 1 property’s sewer ejector pump went out. Plumber diagnosis was the sewer ejector pump needs to be replaced. Cinch responds and says it is not covered while it clearly says it is covered in my plan. The plumber volunteered to explain this to the cinch’s claims department, but they stated to me that Cinch stated they were not interested in reviewing the plumber’s explanation and the claim was denied. I have sent numerous emails with no email response back. I have spent 15+ hours on the phone with representatives that do not speak clear English, hang up on me, blind transfer me to other unrelated departments or simply put me on mute until I am forced to hang up to continue my life. It is impossible to reach any one in upper management. After finally getting someone I was told I would be given 2 months free (small compensation compared to the cost of the unit that was to be covered), they even got this wrong. I was charged for all 3 properties. Called and was then promised a refund. Refund Never occurred. Called again 10 days later, this representative state there was no record of said refunds. Representative was rude and told me he would then need to submit this refund for approval. I cannot wait to cancel all 3 of my cinch warranties, and would certainly advise those close to me to avoid this company. There are countless, home warranty companies.

We've had Cinch for about a year now. I'm on my 4th claim with them...interestingly enough, we purchased Kenmore appliances for our home in 2017 because we thought they were solid products. EVERY appliance we own has had a major malfunction this past year. Fortunate that we had a home warranty. Unfortunate that it is through Cinch...they are not a cinch to work with. Every claim has taken us hours upon hours to resolve. From technicians not repairing correctly the first time to Cinch not being able to find a technician and us having to find a local technician and having to go through a VERY arduous process of getting reimbursed. The most recent experience is a no show technician to repair our washing machine. I took the full day off of work because they could only give me a window of 8am-5pm. I tried calling Cinch customer service at 4:15pm to let them know the technician didn't show up. After being on hold for 30 minutes the customer service rep told me that I would have to call back after 5pm because that's the window I was given for repair. I tried calling back after 5pm and their "normal business hours" are 8am-5pm. What a joke!

Well pump went out on April 17th. The website would time out while trying to put a claim in, so I called the number. On April 18th, their service provider showed up and did their initial diagnostic which he had to send back to Cinch for approval. Cinch called late on April 18th for approval to move forward and let us know that we would owe additional money for non covered charges. We approved the same day. April 19th, the online portal showed that our plumber would be out that day. I call the plumber in the afternoon as I've been waiting all day for him and he said cinch has removed the appointment from his portal and he can no longer schedule it. I call cinch immediately and they said it will be resolved shortly. Here we are 24 hours later, 7 additional phone calls, it still isn't resolved and our portal now shows that it's back to looking for someone to come service the pump. It's been four days with no water, and still no resolution in sight. I'm fortunate that I didn't have to pay for this "warranty" as it has been absolutely worthless.

It's very hard to get through on the phone with Cinch. I've had two claims and in order to even find out if it's a claim, you have to pay the money. You can't call and say, "Is this gonna qualify as a claim?" It's gonna keep sending you to do it online. It's nearly impossible to get in contact with someone. And any time we've gotten anything done, we've had so much out-of-pocket that we're just dropping it in August.
I had a claim for my tub that was leaking. And they covered the parts and the labor. They charged us to open up a big hole but not to cover it. It was a whole lot of add-ons. You're just gonna pay whatever they tell you to pay anyway 'cause you need it done. For what we're paying, I don't think it's working out. Every time we've had something done, we've had to pay a lot for something. But when you get through, at least you get good service from the people who they're getting and you get quicker service than if you had to find a plumber on your own.

Terrible experience working with this company on getting our water heater replaced. Waited with no hot water for a family of 6 for more than two weeks for them to tell us that they don’t have a service provider in our area. They instructed us to find a provider and submit the claim to them and it would be reimbursed. Less than half of the replacement cost has been reimbursement. Shameful business model. Completely disappointing!

I have been with Cinch for many years and this was the first time that I had an issue with the hired contractor service. This was in no way a reflection on Cinch. Due to an upgrade in the hired contractors system which lead to a complete disconnect between Cinch, the customer and the hired contractor. The Cinch customer support team was made aware of this situation and I was immediately contacted by Wendy. Wendy without hesitation immediately resolved the issue and I'm happy to say that I'm getting a new refrigerator. Thank you Wendy and Cinch for having my back.

Do not go with Cinch. It is very difficult to reach someone and the company that they hire out to do the repairs are always late or they don’t show up and in addition the service providers number is in Little Rock. The service provider’s number is a robo operator and you will never get through to someone to help you. I’m sitting at home right now with parts to have repairs done but I can’t get a hold of a technician and Cinch will give you little to no help in the situation. It is extremely aggravating when Cinch and the service provider do not communicate with one another.

I recently had to use Cinch Home Services for an HVAC problem because it wasn't heating. The contractor came out immediately and took care of the problem. So, we like Cinch. The cost and the quality of service are decent. It's reasonable. However, for multiple things, it would be $200 deductible. But they have somebody come out here quick and fix whatever I need fixed.

In the past, my experience with Cinch Home wasn't too bad. But with my most recent claim, it was horrible. Our refrigerator went bad, the back of the thing rusted out, and our food was starting to go bad. So, I kept telling Cinch my concern and they kept canceling the order or saying that the order didn't exist. And they messed up 100 times. Even going through the payout process, they processed the check wrong. So, I had to call out and have it same day shipped. The whole process was really broken. But as far as fulfillment is concerned, at the end of the day, I got exactly what I was looking for. I got the same model situation and I got the payout for that.

The scheduling is not always great. If I needed to reschedule, I go back online and there's nowhere to reschedule even though I get a link saying, "Oh, if you need to change things, here it is." I would have to call the service provider, which is fine. Also, a few times, we've had providers that are a few hours away from me, which makes no sense and the work ethic when they come out has not always been great.
The furnace needed to be replaced and HVAC Technologies came out and their tech hooked it up. I smelled something like gas and he said it was the oil burning off. He left but it was definitely gas. I called the gas company and they came out and did the little meter. They said the tech didn't secure the pipes well enough and the pipes were not screwed in all the way. Gas was leaking into the home and the gas company fixed that. Fast forward to a few weeks later, it wasn't heating or something was off. I just called on my own contractor without asking Cinch and they said it was a fuse that keeps blowing. Every time we put a new fuse in, this guy didn't wire it correctly. They also, later on, came out to replace my filters. They said there was a gap where the tech didn't seal properly so all of the heat is going straight from the furnace out into the basement and not the whole house. I would like to not have that guy from HVAC Technologies come back. But I have an open claim for my AC unit and it's assigned to them. He's supposed to come out tomorrow or the next day but I would prefer a different person.

BEWARE!!! Have had policy with Cinch for roughly 7 years. Customer service has really gone downhill!! I believe they outsourced their customer service teams offshore. My Dishwasher broke down and all claim responses from Cinch have only taken place because I have called them on my end. I have the premium package through Cinch. I paid the $200.00 deductible on March 3, 2024. Cinch sent their repair partner to my home who said the engine was bad and another replacement part is not in production and the report went back to Cinch. Cinch said they would find replacement parts but eventually confirmed they were not on the market (so that was a waste of time!) and then Cinch said they would replace the dishwasher. So, I paid the $100.00 replacement fee. That meant another long wait but ok…Replacement company comes to my home. They said they still don’t have all the parts (needed extension lines) and they left the dishwasher in my kitchen instructing me to call Cinch (my partner was home and I wasn’t- I would have had them take the dishwasher with them). After multiple follow ups, I am presently on hold with Cinch- today is April 8th. I asked for a manager and they transferred me to escalations. Escalations told me to pay to have the dishwasher installed! And they would reimburse me a measly $150. They put me on hold and the manager supposedly wouldn’t take the call. Cinch is referring me to GE. I havey called back yet again and they are saying the $150 won’t cover the replacement and then saying that it will. The reps are friendly and it doesn’t seem to be their fault- just poor customer support overall. Other claims were fine but this time- horrific! Very disappointing- I pay $70 per month for this policy. Now I have to find a new home warranty company.

When something breaks and I'm out of town, I just call Cinch or get online and open a claim. The process has been quick. I've used them three different times, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out they can repair a microwave. But getting it pulled out of the cabinet and putting a new one in was a lot for me to figure out. It ran well for another five years then it just broke again. They told me it needed a new motherboard but there were no motherboards any longer for this model. Cinch gave me a link to pick out a brand new replacement. They advertise that they replace it if they can't fix it and they did. The contractor put the new microwave oven in and everything was for just $150 deductible. I was happy that they did that.

My most recent claim with Cinch was a hot water heater problem and the fella that they sent to take care of it was so kind and respectful and I appreciated his professionalism. It took a little bit longer than what I had hoped, but come to find out, Cinch decided, in the long run, to give me a whole new hot water heater. It took some time to finally get it done. But I was grateful. They finally saw that it was the hot water heater problem. They replaced the hot water heater. They had to order something and I don't think they were trying to put me on hold, but it was tough. But no complaints about the people and the man who came out to work on it. They couldn't have been nicer.

It's been easy to call in service requests with Cinch. We've been able to get folks to come out and take care of problems quickly. So far, we haven't had any problems with claims being approved and getting the work taken care of. Everybody I've spoken to has been helpful and tried to either get us connected to somebody who can take care of the problem or was able to fix or set up whatever it was we needed. Everybody who's come out through them has been great, too and it's nice not having to try to shop around and call and see who's gonna be available, and that it's already taken care of for us.

My overall experience with Cinch Home Services has been good. But now, they're not helpful for me. I just received my bill. They didn't fix the refrigerator. But they charged me for it. It has been two months and they don't know what's the problem with it after four technicians came. One technician said, "I fixed it." But the problem was still there. The other one blew something and the water leaked from there. The third one didn't know what was going on. The fourth one came and said, "You have the problem with vent.” I said, "Why didn't the other technician tell us?" He said, "I don't know about it. I ordered the part. It's gonna arrive in 15 days."

I just had to submit a claim with Cinch Home Services and it was awesome. I had a pipe in the basement that when I drained my tub, it would leak. And I said, "Okay. So I don't know what the protocol is. Let me call and find out." They said, "To start the process of filing a claim, you have to pay your deductible." Someone would come out and assess it. And they would send someone out to repair it. If it couldn't be repaired, they would go ahead and repair it. If it had to be replaced, I would have to pay an additional $100 for the deductible, which was wonderful. They came out, did what they had to do, and it was fixed.

My well pump recently broke at my house. I had no water, I couldn't even flush the toilets. I go onto the website to make a claim and there is no option to service the pump. I know that to have that covered is an additional charge so I tried to bring up my personal coverage which is not available anywhere on the website, just a generic handbook everyone receives. So I called someone myself, because at that point I didn't have time to be placed on hold for an hour as it was an emergency, which is what ended up happening. I got it fixed and had to shell out $2500. When I called to get a reimbursement, because it turns out I did pay the additional money every year to warranty the pump, they refused to give me any money because it was an unauthorized repair. I waited on hold for an hour and was transferred to 6 different people before anyone could even tell me this information. I have tried to contact them now twice since and have been unsuccessful. Luckily my warranty is up for renewal which I surely will not be doing to say the least.

Original Review: March 29, 2024
Normally, Cinch does an ok job - I have 5 contracts with them and have been a customer for many years. My built-in microwave broke and I opened a ticket to get it repaired. Cinch immediately offered to buy and install a new one same size and color and install it. I chose that option, then got a text saying to call to finalize. I called and the girl said they were ordering my same model and said if I did not want it or it did not fit, there would be a 30% restocking fee. I said that is my same model, so it will be fine! Then, I get an email saying they ordered a comparable model in white for my all stainless steel kitchen! I immediately called and explained that I cannot pay $250 for a microwave that does not match. The girl told me then that they do not say they will match color! I said yes you did or I would never have agreed! All I could do is try to cancel the order and try again and now they are saying once you cancel or refuse their offer, you cannot get service. This is crazy! Just do what you promised! The model you ordered comes in stainless - just order the right one!

We had been with HMS forever and Cinch took them over. With our first claim, our experience was a little tough. We couldn't get a body to answer the phone, it was all automated, and we didn't get callbacks. But the last three times have been smooth. Our last claim was last month when we had a problem with the dryer. I put a request in the automated system and I made a mistake when I said the manufacturer of the dryer. But I got somebody involved with Cinch and he was very helpful and accommodating. He made a bunch of phone calls and sped things up for us. The tech from Anthony's Appliance Repair they sent did a really great job. He had the parts in the truck at the time and fixed the dryer. We didn't have to wait for him to order parts. They have my vote for being totally prepared, knowing what they needed, and taking care of it quickly. I'm happy with Cinch and I'd tell others to use them.

We have Cinch Home Warranty and they are terrible with their customer service. I first was pleased that my 21 year old Maytag dryer broke and they did replace it with a comparable dryer. First of all, it takes forever to get a live person to talk to. Second, if you have to get an appliance replaced, they will not pay to have the broken one taken away (which I am upset about because what I am going to do with a broken dryer?). Then here is where the problems really started, the GE delivery company told me they couldn't deliver the dryer because it was not ordered with a power cord. I was then asked to call Cinch and see if they would approve the power cord ($28) because GE wouldn't let me purchase it myself. Nope, after 3 calls and talking to a case manager, I was told, sorry, we will not purchase a power cord. What am I going to do with a new dryer that has no power cord? This is unbelievable. We decided to go buy the cord ourselves so we could use the new dryer. I am so disappointed that we pay $60/month and a $100 deductible for them to send an appliance that still won't work. I am appreciative that they replaced the dryer, but they should have followed through by making sure that the whole replacement/install/dispose appliance is taken care of. Now we have to figure out how to get rid of the broken dryer. I will cancel this warranty and find someone else who is willing to take my money and follow through with the full appliance replacement and disposal correctly.

Somebody came out and attempted to see if they could repair it. For whatever reason, it couldn't be repaired. So, they wrote and said, "We can either send you this dryer or give this much towards it." It was a simple process. I've recommended Cinch to people. I've always been satisfied.

The first year, our experience with Cinch was amazing. We had a generator went a little bit after we bought the house. So, we paid the deductible. They were working and checking back on the order so that part was wonderful. That was the only thing we had to use it for the first year. On the second year, the rates went up some, and then the deductible went up. Then I got an email just recently that the monthly fee is going up. It was 65 in the beginning and now, it's going up to 75. The deductible was 100. And now, it is 150. That is a big increase. I'm starting to contemplate just getting a warranty at the store and have it on because they offer a warranty on appliances up to five years for just one fee and no deductible at all. That might be worth the sacrifice.
Something went wrong with the plumbing this year. I paid the deductible of 150, and they didn't have anybody that was in our network. So, they said I can call anyone that I know that's local and I will have to pay the whole thing and then they'd reimburse me. Customers pay for insurance because they don't always have that full fee. Luckily, it was tax season, so I had the money to do it. So, I paid it upfront. They told me it was gonna be close to $500. They subtracted that 150 deductible, and then they mailed me later. The process was you got to wait for them to fix it, and then once it's done, then they send out the invoice and then you email Cinch the invoice, and then they get a check out to you in the mail in 12 days. That's like three weeks you put out money.
The company that I picked worked on my father's house. They were called Stevens & Son Plumbing. So, they got me an appointment quickly, which was the next following week. They came out. I got to take off a half a day so they can get the work done. By the time they get the invoice and to email them the invoice, then their reviewer review it, it's two and a half weeks. So, the only sucky part that they got to think about is the deductibles. If they don't have anybody in the network, then the deductible should be lowered or they shouldn't have to put all that money upfront.
Cinch did reimburse me the money. It wasn't like a dragged-out going backwards and forth but the thing is you pay that insurance because you don't know if you're gonna have that big lump sum to pay it off or you don't wanna charge your credit card for it and then wait to be reimbursed. If they don't have no one in network, they should either ask the company to give an estimate and then send the invoice directly to them and they just pay it off. Other than that, the customer service is good. I like how they call back and check on things. So, I love them and I wouldn't wanna leave, but that put a damper on it a little bit because 150 also is a lot to come out of pocket with.

I've been with Cinch Home Services for so long. It's worth it. I value it. I know my deductible and I know to send that in. Cinch would contact a repairman who would call and we set up a time. They would either come out and assess and come back. They used to come out and fix it right away. But this time they came out and said, “We need parts.” After Cinch contacted them, they would call me and I deal with them directly. And the contractor would talk to Cinch, and it would be very simple.
Back before it was Cinch, I had a guy come in here. He was supposed to change out of a bathroom faucet. And it was an older house, so he said that he didn't know if he could do it. He said he would show, but he didn't, and he called the next day and said he was running late and had to go to his kid’s sports event. I said, “I have kids myself. I get it. But we also both have phones. You could have called.” When he showed, he looked at it, and he went out to his truck. He said, “It's kind of old. Let me go out my truck and see if I got stuff.” He left. No calls or nothing. I called him after that, and he said, “No, I can't do it.” I said, “Dude, you got a phone. Let me know. I can get somebody else.” The guy after that came and said it is old, so he had to cut the surround for the tub. He cut that, and there was a big hole, and he just put duct tape over it.
The last guy I had for my dryer came. He said, “The belt's broken. We're gonna do the belt and the pulley.” But there was a problem. The serial number and the model number didn't line up. I called Whirlpool and they said there’s not such an animal. I said, “Me and the repairman looked at it, and it's stamped on the plate.” It was a plate with embossed numbers in it.
They called back. They said, “We don't wanna work on it because it's not correct, and their liability.” So, I called and Cinch called another contractor, who called me and I said, “The numbers don't line up.” He said, "You give me the model number." I gave him the model number. I said the other guy came out. It was the belt and the pulley. He said, “Good to know. I'll bring them with me.”
He brought them with him. He changed the belt pulley and the rollers. But before he put the drum together, he said, “There's a seal back there. It would work, but it's worn and you're gonna have to go through all this whole step to change that." That was a Friday. He said, “I have one in the warehouse. Can I come back Monday? And that way, I can just change it and it'll be completely good." I said, “That's fine.” He would put it together. I said, “No, no, no. I just want to do laundry over the weekend, That way, we don’t have to take it all apart.” He went the extra step and changed that while he was there. And it was my choice. I told him to change it. That was the other end of the spectrum which was concerned. He cared, and was professional. Preventative maintenance.
I like having the security, because if something is going to break and it's never a convenient time to break. I only made one claim since it became Cinch, but I that process may have been improved, knowing the contractors. If they know something would break, somebody could at least take a look at it and tell me if they could fix it or if I should get a new one, or which way to go.

We had problems with our garage door. I called Cinch Home and they sent someone out. That person said he couldn't fix it, but he called back to the office and whoever he talked to said that it was covered under the warranty. They said they would have to send someone else out here because that person did not fix what was wrong. Apparently, there was something wrong with the cables or springs and the part that lifts the door needed to be repaired.
So, someone else called me and we rescheduled the appointment. Then, that person told me that somebody else would come out here. But on the day that it was rescheduled, the same person came back and he did not know why he was here. I did not know why he was here either because he had already been here. Once again, he said he couldn't fix what my problem was and that someone else was going to have to come out here and do it. So, he called the office again and at that time, we were told it was not covered.
In the end, nothing was ever repaired and I had to pay $200 for that person to come out here and tell me that. And that was really annoying. When I spoke with someone on the phone, I could not understand a word that the gentleman was saying. The person was getting annoyed with me, and I was getting annoyed with him. But the funny thing about it, he understood me well when I asked him. The other time I had a complaint, a young lady that I could understand called and that was when she said she was sending someone else out here. In other words, they needed two people to say that an appliance could not be fixed. But that lady that I spoke to was pleasant.
It would not cost us so much money if the garage door was fixed. But that was $200 with Cinch. I spoke to a lot of people who have home warranty and they told me they never had to pay $200 for somebody to come out to their homes. On top of that, I got an email telling me that they're going up on the monthly premium. But we’ve been with them for six years and we have never ever had to use them for anything. Aside from that, I couldn't really find any information from their website. I went online, but it never took me to where I needed to be. They didn't make things easy.

I have been a cinch home warranty customer for 13-years, with 0 claims. My home has professional kitchen appliances. After 21 years my Bosch Dishwasher stopped operating. Was approved from Cinch for a replacement. They offered a product of inferior quality (GE) and one that was smaller than my existing built-in, which would result in spaces between my cabinets. Purchased my original dishwasher in 2003 for $1000 and the exact replacement today is $1500. Cinch will only offer $585.12 for the GE without any further considerations.

Submitting a claim with Cinch Home is a little difficult. I have eye problems and I have trouble doing it online. The last time I had to request for a service, I had a furnace repair and I had to call and talk to a person. I couldn't get it completed online. The rep I talked to was good and in a couple of hours, they were able to send someone out to help me. The tech's service was also very good. So far, I haven't had any complaints with the techs that Cinch sent out. They were prompt and they explained what they were going to do. But I don't like the fact that the deductible keeps going up. The last time I called them, it was $165, so it's close to doubling in that 10 years that I've been with them.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any difficulty you experienced with submitting a claim online. It is great to hear you found our customer service representative helpful and that the technician provided excellent service during your furnace repair.

The last few times that I used Cinch Home, things went pretty well and I was able to talk to somebody. A lot of times, people want you to do something online and I'm kind of a little old-fashioned. I'm an older gentleman and I have to talk to people. With Cinch, I was able to deal with some customer service people that took care of the problem in a timely fashion and understood my situation.

Cinch Home Services is responsive because they would send someone soon, but they would not be customer-oriented. When you would have a situation that is unique, like the one that happened to me, they wouldn't resolve it. I ended up paying for that second service, but it wasn't right. The garbage disposal was not working. So, we had someone come in. The contractor noticed that there was some food trapped in there, but at the same time, it was not fixable. So, they decided to replace it. They brought the replacement with them on that visit. That was taken care of that same day.
The second time I had to call, because right after they replaced the garbage disposal, I ran a lot of water every time I ran the dishwasher. The reason was the same obstruction that caused the garbage disposal to break was still in that connection part. They had not cleaned it properly when they put the new one in. So, I had to call again because the work was not properly done. It sounded hectic.
But the worst part was I had to pay twice for something that was supposed to have been resolved on the first visit. I was not happy with that. Because the second issue only started happening after they had come in the first time. I didn't wanna pay up front for something I knew was related to the first visit. So, I had to call to make that appointment without having to pay through the process. Because if I did it online, I would always have to pay to confirm the appointment. I had to call, and the service that I received on the phone wasn't great. They did not insure me that I would not have to pay it in the end. That was exactly what happened. Because the person that came said that the issue was separate, but it was part of the same problem I had from the beginning. It caused different things to happen.

It's very easy to submit a claim to Cinch. It's all done on an app so you don't have any contact. The app is very simple. The reps are very punctual, and my experience has been good thus far. I filed a claim for a washer and a toilet. The washer was leaking because there was a torn seal in the front, and the toilets were backed up and needed to be repaired. The technician was very nice. He followed up to make sure I got the part, and everything worked very well. The part for the toilet was the next day, but then the parts for the washer took a little longer to come because the washer was a little older. Those timeframes were fine.
The work was very quick. It was a very nice transaction. The customer service was excellent. After the parts came, I did have to reach out to them and let them know that parts were available and I was ready to reschedule, and they took care of that very promptly. I'm very pleased with Cinch so far. Moving is very stressful. So, I'm glad getting some repairs accomplished was simple.

The microwave and the dishwasher were inoperable. The refrigerator needed service for the ice maker.

The dishwasher wasn't working and it was really difficult to get ahold of anybody through Cinch. I had to send a nasty email and then somebody finally got back to me but it took weeks. Then, it cost me $110 to have somebody come out here and look at it and Cinch only gave me $130 to replace it. The contractor said the mother board was not working but who knows what else wasn't working or would be working or not once they replace that. I told Cinch to not put a new motherboard in the dishwasher that's 50 years old. It's not worth it. They ended up doing the calculation and decided on 130 bucks. I got my money back for having some guy come out and tell me this and I made 20 bucks on a dishwasher that cost me over 400 bucks.

Submitting a claim is very easy with Cinch, but the people that they have agreements with are kind of slow and it's taking a long time to get things done. It's a little confusing how it works. I've had two different claims recently and one, I thought, was scheduled through Cinch, but then I was supposed to schedule it so it took a little while. Part of the issue was I put the wrong thing in the claim and it was like my pipes were busted for my toilet so we had a week where we couldn't use my toilet. I kept trying to tell this plumber I need somebody out soon. They kept putting me off. I told them what was going on, but then there's somebody else coming out and they thought it was something to do with the shower valve, which was what I put down. Once they came, they realized that it was a priority and it went quickly, but it took a week before they figured it out.

I have something when I needed help to find help. But what I don't like is the amount of time sometimes Cinch Home Services would take to send a contractor and do what they have to do for me. It was very quick to have people to come and look at the water heater. But I got missed in the waiting for somebody else to come back to replace it with the misinformation. I didn't have enough information to know exactly how that should work, what was the next step. I had to keep on calling to know the next step while my water heater still drained. Nobody contacted me to say, "The next step is this, is this, is this," until I had to call them and ask, "What is the next step? It's been a week I've been waiting for somebody else to come to fix it, to replace it. And now, this is how I got the information."
The contractor was great. On their work service, everything was fine. But on the first contract that I had, something for my microwave, instead of fixing it that time, they broke it more. And I had to wait for almost six months to have a replacement. It was on backorder. I also did not expect that microwave to break more than fixed. They came several times and the work wasn't done until the tech could no longer fix. I had two weeks for the whole backorder thing to have it done. I always come to a point that everything was done. But I have to wait and be patient.

When I bought the house, the hot water heater wasn't turned on. Then, when I wanted to turn it on, there was little bit of water at the top. So, I was afraid that if I turned it on, it was going to start leaking. I called Cinch and they told me what I had to pay upfront. So, I paid a deductible then they paid for the rest of cost. When the first techs came by, they had to take the tank up the steps and they said the unit was too big. So, they wanted to rebuild the steps and a bunch of other stuff. I didn't care for them and I let Cinch call somebody else. And they had a simple solution. They said they could make the tank taller and give me the same capacity. Then it wouldn't be so fat and they wouldn't have to worry about those steps. And that was what I did and I wound up saving myself more than $1,000. So, it's cheaper to have the policy.
The reps from Cinch were responsive and they got me somebody quickly. In fact, when I told them I wasn't going to use the first techs who came out for the hot water heater, they said they were still going to give me the money.

With the latest claim, I got like 9,000 phone calls. The only thing that was unpleasant about it was the, "Confirm or we'll cancel your appointment." The last contractor that we had said, "Please confirm. If you fail to confirm, we'll cancel your appointment. You'll have to reschedule."
With the last person who came out to work on the air conditioner, it sounded like a call center was doing most of their scheduling. I'm in a field service so my phone isn't always in a good cell reception area.

I paid Cinch 165 for the electrician and it was still worth it. I wanted to make sure it wasn't any electrical problems going on. But my one little gripe is that I never got a receipt for that 165 and I need it for my records. I called customer service but I couldn't get through.

When I had a claim, Cinch handled it. The process was a little slow, considering what the issue was, but they did everything that I could expect for them to do. They gave me the people that was gonna do the work the same day I talked to them. But they told me it would take 24 hours for them to respond to set an appointment. So the company called me the next day and they set up the appointment. They came about two days after that. The tech straightened the problem right out. The waste line from the house was stopped up. It took him a while to find out where it was stopped up at, but he figured it out within four hours. My only gripe with Cinch is that for each claim that you put in, it's a different deposit that you have to put down. I wish that it could be just one deposit if you have more than one issue.

My first experience in April of this year was fine. My oven stopped heating. The repair person came out ordered parts and returned to install.
The oven began doing the same thing just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I had a repair person come out again at the beginning of January. He ordered parts and then returned to install them. After his repair the oven began to trip our GFI and the oven has not been operational since the repair. I was told I needed an electrician. Once the stove was unplugged my plugs worked fine. The technician left without confirming any of the repairs worked. A field manager came out and wrote up the multiple repairs and suggested yet additional parts. Now I’m told the parts are on back order from the manufacturer and we don’t know when they will be available. I am almost a month without an oven, trying to work through a third repair on a stove I don’t think is repairable and have no idea when this will be resolved. It is where I don’t want to renew my policy and want to change companies. I am ready to just buy a stove on my own at this point.
I see others talk about stress free replacements but that is not my experience. The customer service call center was terrible today and is the reason I decided to write this review. The gentleman didn’t listen, chastised me and mansplained that I should call the service provider again. His tone was down right offensive…and I can take a lot. This is after the report from the last visit didn’t get submitted within Cinch’s own SLA. I had to work with customer service earlier in the week to resolve the technician report submission. No one updated me once the report was received but I was chastised for calling. I am in the habit of offering grace because many businesses are facing shortages and people are often over worked….but this experience was terrible! I am disappointed because we started out so much better than this.

When I put in a claim, Cinch is responsive. But when I first had this home warranty, the payment was $50. Now, it's $150 per visit. I'm going to evaluate it because if I'm paying for my yearly rate for the service and each time they come out it's $150, why am I paying for the five-something.

I called Cinch Home Services and paid the deductible. Sears company came out, ordered the parts, and repaired the freezer that was freezing up and made it run constantly. The other thing that's still active is my oven. The temperature is not regulated correctly. But we can't find a service provider locally. When Cinch sends Sears, they're fantastic. They know exactly what they're doing when they come out. But the other ones, they're not bad. They're smaller companies. I don't mind that. It usually takes two trips for most of them.

I have some issues with the most recent complaint. It was filed regarding my furnace. The techs Cinch Home Services use aren't who you would probably get to do your service if you didn't have Cinch. You’d probably get better quality outside of Cinch for HVAC stuff. The contractor installed a new one, which was last April. Everyone I've had for everything has been great. But the people Cinch provides for the HVAC and furnace might take weeks to get back to me. It has been a month and a half and I still have no furnace for my upstairs.
The person that installed it last April, it was at the end of winter, installed a brand-new unit. That took a month and a half to get him to get the unit and install it. By the time he did it, winter was over. He told me it worked. I checked it. It worked. But it was also summertime so I didn't use it again until December. And it would come on and turn off. So, I filed a complaint with Cinch. They sent a tech out who was a different person than the initial one. He told me what the problem was immediately. He said, "The guy installed it wrong. He has intake outtake reversed. It's causing it to shut off. This is the problem." Cinch said, "You have to go back to the original installer because that's the person that installed the furnace."
It has been a month and a half working with that person. He has come out one time. And he agreed that was the problem. But it's getting him to come back out to fix it. I've been texting with him today. He gave me dates for further out in this week. But I have a furnace that hasn't worked for a month and a half. I could have pressed a lot harder to get it done faster. I've been dealing with the tech and not with Cinch. So, it's more of a tech issue than a Cinch issue. I'm sure Cinch would be all over it if I called them instead of going through the hassle. Other than that, filing claims has gotten better. They're more automated now. I get messages, "Did your tech show up on time? Has he come up? Do you agree with the service that was done?" Overall, I am satisfied.

I've used Cinch twice and I've not been disappointed. They try to get me someone local that's trustworthy. However, I very seldom ever know who I'm getting. The first time I used them, I didn't know who I was getting. That was mainly because it was a dishwasher that had to be repaired, and trying to find somebody who repairs that type of dishwasher was somewhat difficult for Cinch. Still, they did a good job and they found somebody. A month ago, we had a 50-gallon water heater replaced in less than 24 hours. I called Cinch one day and they were there the next day.
Cinch is good, but they should get rid of robots. I call in for claims and I wanna talk to a live person all the time. It doesn't matter who it is. Anybody in today's modern world is going to have a robot to try to direct people to where they need to go. I don't like robots though. Even if it's just a 30-second chance, I don't want it. I want live persons. I hate anything that's mechanical in order to do stuff. That's ridiculous. When people have to talk to a robot, that's poor customer service.

When we bought the house, I asked for a home warranty and they gave us Cinch. They paid for a whole year, but the contract number is the same for whatever reason. The contract kept defaulting to this other woman and our name was never correct. I told them about it a couple of times and they never fixed it. I could never submit claims online and I always have to call. I don't think it was Cinch’s fault, but I always dread calling them. But it's gotten better.
We have filed three claims with them. For the first claim, we were very new to this house and the furnace was doing something very strange. They didn't have anybody in our area and it took a couple of days for them to get back and tell us that. They told us to hire whoever we wanted. We ended up figuring out what the furnace was doing and we didn't need to call anybody.
The second claim was for the dishwasher. It wasn't going on and I called them. They notified us what vendor we would be using and it took them a week to get here. The guys came out and they figured out the part needed. They ordered it and it was sent to us. That took five days. The tech put the part in and the dishwasher worked for one cycle but it didn't work anymore after that. We had to call Cinch. They had to approve another visit. It was the same problem so they didn't charge us another deductible. They ordered the same part, thinking that maybe it was a bad part, and that took another five days. It took several days for them to have an appointment but they came out and they put in the second part. They tested it and it was fine. We washed one cycle and it didn't work again so we called Cinch. This took five weeks and thank God it wasn't the furnace because it would've been a problem.
The third time they came out, the guy said they didn't know why it kept happening so they recommended replacement. It took several days for that process. It took three business days for Cinch to approve the replacement and then tell us what the options were. But they don't replace the quality of what you had. They told us which dishwasher they would replace my dishwasher with and it was a brand I would never buy. I had a Bosch dishwasher and the replacement was a GE. They offered us approximately the price of what the GE would be and we took the check. It was better than nothing.
I filed the third claim for the water conditioning system. I paid the $100 deductible and 48 hours later, they didn't have anybody in their network that could fix this or come and look at this unit. They knew they didn't have anybody, but they were still looking and they couldn't tell me when they were gonna stop looking. Then, if they don't have anybody, there is a process that they would reimburse us and we can call our own person. The contractor would then submit the documentation to get approval for a repair. I canceled it and they're gonna refund my money.
When you get on the phone with their representative, they're very courteous. They always tell you how they're so sorry that things didn't go well and they're very nice. They put you on hold for extended periods sometimes, but they never hang up on you. But they are offshore. One time, I got a lady that I had to call back later because I couldn't understand her. But my biggest complaint with Cinch is how long it takes them to get back to me when I file a claim. I was really dissatisfied with them and when this year of home warranty expires, I will not renew with them.

Having Cinch Home Services is worth it. But you would have to pay your deductible upfront, which turned out to be legit. And would have to talk to people who may not fully speak the language as well as they should. Other than that, it was good. Everything's outsourced now. I didn't like Cinch at first. I was suspicious. And when I told the rep it was a drain issue, she said that was not covered. I said, "I'm looking at the contract here and it says waste line." She didn't know that a waste line and a drain was the same thing.
And they wanted the deductible before they opened a claim and I said, "Something doesn't feel right about this. I'm paying you before I even know if it's truly a claim." Because they don't process the claim until people pay. But everything worked out. And when the drain wasn't properly fixed, I called them again and they got the company back out, redid it and fixed it right.

When we purchased the house, apparently, the upstairs heat exchange unit was older and wasn't working right. Cinch worked perfectly. The repairman was very impressive. He was from Martin's Custom Air Conditioning. He couldn't find out what was causing the breaker to trip off, but he saw leaking fluid and it was kicking off the breaker so the thermostat would go out. He wrote it up and sent it back to Cinch. The second time, it went out in a week and a half. He came again, wrote it up and recommended replacement. Cinch replaced the whole unit, and it cost us about half of what a new unit would have been out-of-pocket. We will renew at the end of the year because our experience was so positive. I wish it would have covered some other things, too, but it is what it is. Cinch had done good service for us, and we're pleased with them.

Cinch Home Services would give me a name of the company that would call me. However, some of them I had a problem that I wasn't satisfied with. I had to call back three times and I still had the same problem with my refrigerator freezing up my icemaker. I had two reps who previously came out and went in, and one put some seal in it and said that it would hold. It held for a while, another one came out and took some parts off and replaced them. It lasted until the six months was over, but it froze back again. Cinch had sent someone out three times but I kept having problems out of it. I was just paying the deductible over and over and it wasn't getting quality service. So, we went and called the company and they sent someone out to check it, and they replaced the parts at no charge.
The deductible and the charges keep going up. But on average, Cinch saves me in the long run on certain appliances as far as having to fix and what normally the charge would be. You need it. It will save you money if you have problems, especially with the AC, and as far as replacing certain parts that would cost more than the deductible.

I have a very expensive disaster of a LG refridgerator bought in 2016. Here we call these faulty products lemons. This fridge started having trouble in 2017, and has had to have what i have come to call tge trufecta (the compressor, condenser, and evaporator), as well as several other parts replaced every 2 to 3 years ever since. In 2021 it went out right before Thanksgiving, needed tge trifecta replaced once again, but because if shipping delays and a faulty replacement part, I did not have a working fridge till after the New Year. This year it went out a week and a half before Thanksgiving, and once more had the trifecta replaced after the holiday. It tgen started having cooling issues 3 days before Christmas, and needed tge frudge heater/defrosting unit as well as an electronic panel replaced, 2 days after the holiday. Again, despite my many requests and its long history of issues, Cinch refused to replace the fridge.
Cinch knows that LG lost a lawsuit about this model produced the year before my fridge but my year was not included in the settlement. Still, they refuse to do the right thing and put this piece of junk out of my misery.
I have been told by an insider that Cinch makes it so difficult for its customers with appliances like this because tgey play a numbers game. If people experience enough upset and trouble, Cinch counts on many of them giving up and buying a new unit on their own dime.
Although I do not know whether this is true or not, my experience certainly supports this view. I'm just too stubborn to let Cinch win. But I probably should have given up on them and changed home warranty companies years ago. Because even if they do eventually replace this lemon, I have lost so much food, and had so many holidays ruined, that I have lost either way. The truth is, I lost the day I entrusted them with my home warrantee service.

I did a refrigerator claim with Cinch. The process of requesting for a service and getting a proper service technician in a reasonable time, within a week, is always good. That's consistent from Cinch. But if it is involving a claim, that's a painful process. Usually it takes at least two months and in that whole time, to know exactly what the status is becomes very difficult to track. The reps try to be helpful but I don't know if they have the latest updates in the system.
The technicians are always decent people except for the ones that may need some special consideration. I have a heater and AC and the HVAC unit. I have found that it needs two or three technicians to come and go before I can get the right person to evaluate. But at least they are trying. I get somebody to come and look.

The reps on the phone were professional. But one rep that I spoke with put me off. When I said, "I would like to speak just to somebody else above you just to get this rectified," they wouldn't allow me to speak to a manager or supervisor. My real estate agent had to intervene because he had a direct connection with a manager. That was how we were able to get a manager on the phone. But everything went well as far as the technician goes. They were professional. They knew exactly what they were doing. It took less than an hour for them to fix the problem.

Our air conditioner wouldn't work so we had to do a claim with Cinch. I just called the warranty thing and they got it fixed. Customer service was trying to find out the particulars. The company that did the service told me right upfront that it would be slightly over 24 hours before they would be able to get out here and do it. That was understandable because it was in the heat of the summer and the AC guys were really busy. A lot of people would have been put out that Cinch didn't get somebody out there right then but we just went and got a motel room for that night. When we got back the next night, the air conditioner was running. It's now working as a heat pump instead of a air conditioner. The compressor is a little iffy because it's still pretty noisy. What went out the first time must have been a capacitor. I was pleased on the whole.

The claims process takes impossibly long. We live in Texas and our air conditioner went out when it was 105 degrees. It took them five weeks to get it fixed. Also the people that they sent out that work for them didn't know what they were doing. They misdiagnosed it three times. The guy from Sears didn't know what was wrong with it. Overall, it was a terrible experience. Warranties are kind of worthless in my experience. I wouldn't recommend Cinch to my worst enemy.

A couple of years ago, I was ready to drop Cinch Home Services because we couldn't get a technician. I'd have to wait and call several times to get a technician assigned. And it would go on for weeks and weeks. But they seem to have changed something and things are better. So, they've improved. We stayed with them and I haven't thought about leaving them.
Filing claims online through their system works well as long as you have something that's standard to be able to identify what the issue is. But if you have a little weirdness that you like to be able to give a bit more explanation, you need to speak to somebody about that. I have sometimes when I've called to say, "Hey, this is what my issue is. How do I claim it or how do I make sure that I'm getting something faster?" For example, if it's my heat in the middle of winter, I would be more willing to call a person to make sure things move along. Sometimes issues could take a bit longer for a response than I'd like or to be assigned somebody. I could wait a week sometimes. And other times, it would be the same day. It depends on who's available. Sometimes there's not enough technicians.
We've had somebody for our dryer a couple of times. They're usually good and professional. They would come in, do their job and they leave. They wold be sometimes willing to do more but they have to wait for the process. I've had Sears who been have been good. Other ones, they do the work and had to come back a couple of times. We had one person who had to come back a couple of times because it didn't go all the way through or didn't get fixed or something happened afterwards.

In the 18 months I had a Cinch Home warranty I only made one minor claim for a hot water heater. The technician that came out confirmed that hot water heaters were covered under my policy, and recommended that the unit be replaced because of sediment build up. However, despite the contract clearly covering covering replacements for mechanical failures due to sediment build-up, the claim was denied.
In attempting to appeal the decision I spent countless hours on the phone, getting passed from one department to the next. Emails were not responded to. Requests for call backs were not provided. I ultimately became so frustrated with what I perceived to be an intended run-around that I canceled my policy.
In hindsight, it is clear to me that Cinch only works with technicians who will report issues in a way that it reduces their liability for coverage. This lack of honesty, coupled with the absence of reliable customer service, is why I will never purchase a Cinch Home Warranty again, and would caution others to do the same. Buyer beware: you'll pay a monthly fee mont after month only to find that Cinch is not there when you need them most.

We opened the home warranty because the air conditioning unit on the house we were buying was old. It worked at the time of our inspection but after we signed the papers it stopped working. We filed a claim and it was denied. Cinch said that the air conditioner had not worked at the time of the inspection. So we got a copy of our inspection report and sent that over. They denied the claim again saying that the air conditioning unit was too old to qualify but there was nothing stated in the warranty about age of the unit. So then they finally agreed that they would pay a portion of the repair part.
Then they kept saying the part was back ordered and that they would have to find another part. They couldn't find it. After all was said and done, we just cancelled the warranty and paid for the repair out-of-pocket. Our air conditioning guy was able to find the part and we had it in our possession within three days. Cinch was not willing to work with us on this issue. One of the reps seemed annoyed that we were having issues with the whole process. They were trying to get Reinhart Realtors to cover the repairs. So, most of the communicating was being done with our Realtor because it was really frustrating. It was a bait-and-switch situation. I would not recommend Cinch to anybody.

I bought my house in March of this year. Unfortunately my heating system isn't working and I had to file a claim on November 3rd. They sent a technician out on Friday the 10th. A few hours later I got a phone call stating that they were sending another technician out to my home. Monday the 13th the 2nd technician came and said my oil furnace needed to be replaced. It is 47 yrs old and not working properly. My house fills up with exhaust fumes when it is turned on. For 2 weeks I had to call about my claim and kept being told it was in research. They were looking for a replacement furnace. Come to find out they all lied to me about it being in research. It didn't go into research until November 27th. The contractor called to tell me that the furnace was being ordered and was to be delivered to his shop December 2nd. We made an appointment to have my furnace replaced 12-5. He called to reschedule because he hadn't received the furnace yet. He called the company that was to deliver the furnace and they said the furnace was there but that the order had been canceled by Cinch Home. My technician called Cinch Home and was told that another one was ordered and would be delivered to his shop today the 8th of December. It has snowed here and been below freezing alot!

The customer service of Cinch Home was awful and my experience with submitting a claim with them was very poor. Their website was glitchy and the selections there weren't optimized for what they offer. For example, I have two cooling units and two heating units in my home. Cinch covers all units, but when I tried to select them on the website, it did not let me submit multiple claims. When I called customer service, they told me that I was not eligible for multiple units. But when I spoke to membership services, they told me that I was covered, then they put through the request. The membership services representatives were helpful. I ended up escalating to two separate supervisors who were helpful as well.
I filed my first claim for my HVAC units in July and I figured out everything that was wrong by early September. And it took until the mid to end of October before anything could be resolved. So, it was a very lengthy and stressful process from July to October. Aside from that, Cinch Home had to send out Sears first who only does repairs. So, they sent out an outside vendor who did the replacement and he was wonderful. The quality of the work was excellent, too. All in all, Cinch Home offers the most coverage across all home service warranties. However, you're better off speaking to either membership services or somebody in charge rather than customer service.

I had an AC problem and I had to pay the full price to have the techs come out and repair something. It’s $100 for a service call and $70 to fix one little thing. It doesn't make any sense to have a warranty if they don't do anything. Even the guy said that Cinch won't pay for anything unless it's absolutely broken, dead and there's a lot of evidence. He also said my AC has probably got two months left. I might as well just hire another AC guy and pay for it myself. I don't see the point of this service if there's nothing they pay for. There's no value added. I wouldn't recommend Cinch to anybody.
Cinch should go out of business. They should be regulated better because I bought a new house and my real estate agent said it was great. But it's not that great. I wouldn't use them again. If I have a problem at home, I'll just call somebody else to deal with it. They're not gonna fix anything and I have no control over it. So the amount I paid is the same amount or more than would have been just have somebody else come out on my own.
Dear Daniel, I appreciate your feedback and I’m sorry to hear that your claim experience was not what you expected. As with all warranties, coverage is detailed in the Agreement and there are items and conditions which may not be covered by your warranty. Your warranty addresses parts and labor when a covered item fails and cannot perform its designed function, and does not address the routine cleaning and maintenance of the unit. Since no failure was found, with the furnace, it does not qualify for coverage at this time. This information can be found in the terms and conditions of your warranty booklet that was mailed to you upon enrollment. We regret any confusion or misunderstanding that occurred.

We've submitted a couple of claims to Cinch. Submitting the first claim was easy. The one thing that we were surprised about was that there was a fee we had to pay in order to submit a claim, and that seemed weird because we'd already paid for the warranty. We did not like that at all. Other than that, there wasn't anything wrong with submitting the first claim. The second claim was hard because the people couldn't figure out how to file a claim because of the category of the problem. They ended up filing it under plumbing, but it had to do with our sump pump, which turns out does not exist in our house. The inspector said there was one but there isn't one. Filing the claim was a pain on that one because they didn't know what I was talking about. The people at Cinch didn't know what a sump pump was or how to count it or what category to put it under. It seemed like they didn't know what to do with the troubles I was having.
They ended up talking to a manager. I had to make four calls before they figured out what the issue was. The first contractor came out to fix the wiring on the air conditioner. He was extremely friendly. There was originally one contractor signed up to come do the work. My wife took the day off, but the contractor never showed up, and that happened twice. So, we got a replacement contractor. My wife wasted a day off, which was upsetting. Cinch should not use the first people at all. They were totally unreliable. The contractor who actually came out was great, very polite, very professional, and was able to assess the issue and fix it very quickly. They also educated us on using our product. I love that guy. We would recommend him to anybody
Now, the sump pump was a whole different story. The people showed up when they said they would. They were a bit late, but they did show up. I wasn't there. They were dealing with my wife and they were very flippant with her and demeaning and talking down to her, treating her like she didn't know what she was talking about. They didn't really take a close look at anything. All they did was come in. She said there were two of them who showed up. One was kind of quiet and not rude and the other one was talkative and rude and said, "That's not a sump pump." They left without any further explanation. So, we paid the warranty plus the extra fee to file the claim just to have somebody come out and treat us terribly and not really give us good information.
We called a different contractor that's not through Cinch and they came out and they assessed, "Oh, yeah, that's right. You don't have a sump pump." So, we had them install one. They did a great job. We're very happy with them. Now, we're trying to figure out how to get someone else to pay for it because we were told we had a sump pump and we were having flooding in the basement because there wasn't one. The flooding is fixed now. The sump pump would have been covered under the warranty if one existed and the sump pump was listed as an object on the inspection. The inspection says we have a sump pump, but we don't have one.
Overall, both of the claims that we filed originally started out with terrible contractors. Cinch should be vetting their contractors better. They should allow me to choose my own contractor. I was trying to get them to let me use the contractor that I knew was good and that they sent people who were bad. So, they should let me choose my own contractor or have a list of excellent contractors who actually show up, do the work, and are not rude to me. I shouldn't be paying a deductible when I file a claim. One, it was really irritating to me that I had to pay before I could even open the claim. That seems wrong to me. I should be able to open the claim, and then after the service is provided, it would be better to pay the fee by then.

Also, the deductible I was supposed to be paying was $75 but they charged $100 because they say that there are additional costs that they incur after COVID. If that was the case, they should have just made their deductibles $100.
When I had a claim, they couldn't find any contractors so they hired a third party to then try to find a contractor. I got no information.

I had plumbing issues and it happened on the weekend but apparently, the home warranty that I have with Cinch doesn't cover on the weekends and they didn't try to work with me. I had to wait until the weekend was over and then put in the service request. The contractor wasn't able to come out until Thursday of that week and they just took some pictures. They had to put in the service in order to fix it. There was backed up sewage and I had to wait almost two weeks for it to get fixed. They said that there was a clog in the toilet and they fixed that. But then, the issue occurred within two weeks and they tried to do it again but the issue occurred again. I don't think they went out far enough or actually went in to get anything unclogged.
Also, they kept trying to push off other issues. They kept trying to say that my sewer line is busted and they wanna get a camera down there. But Cinch doesn't cover that so they wanted me to pay 350 something dollars out of pocket for them to run a camera down there. I just took matters in my own hand and rented the equipment I needed and fixed it. I haven't had an issue since. It was a waste of the $200 deductible that I paid out. I won't be renewing Cinch when it's over. It's just something that came with the house when I bought it and I don't recommend them at all.

It takes a very long time for Cinch to get the provider out to the home and the provider is always so far away. Most people do not wanna deal with this warranty at all. I had our air conditioner heating unit go completely out in the hottest month. I'm 69 years old, and I had to wait a month to get air conditioning. The technician had to come all the way from Baltimore. That was ridiculous. First, he came out and he thought it was a part. The first visit was on a Friday. I don't understand why they're in that business and they don't carry the part with them on their trucks. I had to wait until Monday.
He came out on Monday and he put it in. I thought, "Okay. We'll make it till Monday." It was on a 105-degree weather, and when he came out on Monday, he put it in and it didn't work. So, he said I had to have a unit replacement. Cinch let me know what was our out of pocket, which I thought was entirely too much. We had to pay $700 out of pocket on top of the 125 copayment. So, that put us at over 800 dollars.
We didn't get any paperwork with our unit. I don't think I got the same replacement quality. We had a Trane and we got something that I never even heard of. When you're as sick as I am and you were a month without air conditioning in the hottest summer, you're gonna take anything. I didn't question the technician. He was telling me that it's better than a Trane. He did give us the warranty and told us to fill that out right away, but we don't have any manual to know what the capacity of this unit is. There was no receipt, too.
Working with Cinch is awful. We have a tankless water heater which went out three times. We were without hot water for over 30 days. It was not good at all. Most of the phoning personnel, you can't understand what they're saying. They're not patient. They have heavy accent that you can't understand them. They have no empathy for you that you're that sick. One of them, when my water went out, just said, "Well, you could boil water to take a shower or bath." I said, "Really? Do you wanna do that for 30 days? Come on to my house. I can't run my dishwasher. I can't wash my dishes. I'm boiling water. Really? So, you tell me that again and I'll tell you how happy I am." I still remember and that was a couple years ago and it went out a couple of times.
And again, that technician was from far away. He was shoddy. First thing that went out was our refrigerator and that was a nightmare. The guy was terrible. He was condescending. I was so upset with him. I'm a very sick woman that I had my husband stay with me while he was here. I called him from work. Then I called Cinch and I said, "I don't want him here. I want him out of here." He had to come back. First, it was okay. He said, "I'm gonna put Freon in it to get it running till I can get a part," which was cool. The next time he came back, he was so condescending. The refrigerator started leaking and we called and I told his company and I told Cinch that I did not want him back here.
The leak damaged my cabinet. It damaged my floor. Nobody would do anything about it because of his poor work. Cinch wouldn't do anything. His company wouldn't do anything. So, my cabinet's damaged. My floor is permanently damaged. This house is not even 10 years old. I wasn't feeling good at all with Cinch. I'm gonna be looking for another insurance company this coming year.

The tech came out right away on a Friday and it took three more Fridays before they finally resolved it. The fridge was broken for about a month. Not having your main fridge in your house for a month is kind of an issue. Cinch was communicating with me, and telling me they were having problems with the guy. But that was not my problem. That was their problem, and I just wanted it resolved and taken care of.
The first claim I filed was for a microwave. It wasn't heating. They replaced it, too. So, they replaced my microwave and fridge. I ended up taking the cash out on both things. I didn't like the microwave that they were offering. It was too fancy for what I was looking for. I went with something a little different. Then the fridge they were offering was a little bit smaller and does not have the bells and whistles I was looking for, so I took the cash and paid to upgrade for what I wanted.

With another company, I didn't have to pay the deductible until somebody came out to do the service. I was able to schedule everything upfront. With Cinch, I can't even schedule for the service until I make the payment. They ask for payment upfront before even knowing what the service is needed for. You might not have $200 in the middle of the night to make an appointment. Also, the service is not scheduled quickly. I could still wait a week or two before service is provided. I've also experienced a time when I had to cancel a claim because whatever I needed to fix was all of a sudden working. There was a turnaround with getting my money back.
Having an upfront option of speaking with a live person or doing everything online would be good. You book your service appointment and pay online, so you never even talk to nobody. They walk you through all the prompts. The only reason I talked to somebody was because when I made a service appointment, it was a week out when I needed it done sooner than that. You have to go through a lot of prompts to get a live person and the hold times are extremely long. But they were able to get me somebody the next day. Cinch finds the right providers, and my issue has been fixed whenever I needed them on the same day. Also, you know upfront what your monthly payment is and what the deposit would be, so it's never a surprise when it's time to book for the service.

In the beginning, it was a bit hard to understand the copay but Cinch has been responsive. Several times, I've had to call them and remind them the job is not complete. So, they would reopen it. For the dishwasher, we were waiting for a month and a half to schedule anybody because they would keep cancelling. The plumbers five times because they would fix one thing and another thing would go bad or start to leak. They were here just yesterday because the garbage disposal was backing up in the dishwasher. But Cinch covered everything for that. Also, customer service has been really helpful with explaining.

I submitted one claim and that went as smooth as it could have gone. I paid the amount that I need to pay, entered some very basic information, and that was it. Then, I got a text on my phone from Whirlpool directly, which is the manufacturer, saying that they were gonna send a dispatch out. Apparently, the contractor was a Whirlpool approved manufacturer repair tech and not just a random nobody.
The claim was for an oven that was not starting and the tech looked at it. The issue was with the main control board. Also, the LED light where you can tell the time was really dim. He said he would have to come back another day. He didn't have the right parts and needed to order them. They came back another day and they repaired it. Cinch covered it without asking me multiple questions. I Googled the prices of the items and found out that the control board itself was at least $300 to $400. If I tried to do it myself or if I hired a not-approved person, it would have cost them $300 for the part and then $200 for the labor. I would have been out at least $500.

Cinch’s service is fantastic. I had to use them for an issue in the bathroom and it was incredibly easy. I didn't even have to talk to anybody. It was all done via the app. Cinch sent out a company, Company One, who did an estimate. But I was not notified that Cinch had to get a second opinion so the only thing I saw was an email that I got from them that they decided to go with a different company. It confused me because I didn't authorize anything. I didn't get emails saying why and when I called Company One and asked them if they referred me to somebody else, they said they didn't do that. So, I had to call Cinch and they said they wanted to get a second estimate.
When a second company was calling me to come out and do an estimate, I said I already had Company One come out and I don't know why they were calling me. At first, I thought it was spam so I called Cinch and asked. But overall, the service was great. The second company came and was able to fix the issue within two hours. Cinch covered everything and I appreciated that they had a second person come out because the first guy’s estimate was extremely high. So, I can see why they did it. I just wish I was notified. It was a bit high so I got a second opinion.

To their credit Cinch did call me and refunded my original deductible and due to the fact that the kind woman seemed to actually listen I'm going to give them another chance.
Original Review: Nov. 16, 2023
The service was great until this year. This will be the last year I'll be using Cinch. In fact, I'm going through a problem with them right now. The main heater in my home failed, and it's been out for almost three weeks now. I live in Arkansas, and we're experiencing temperatures down to 23 degrees. The technician told Cinch right off the bat that because the age of the heater, it needed to be replaced. They didn't wanna do that, and they started ordering parts. The parts came, but the parts were wrong. They expected the guy that has been doing the work to drive around for absolutely no money whatsoever and pick up parts. I listened to the guy on the phone, he said, "I can't do this for nothing. I have to be paid for my time." They argued and argued.
Finally, they decided, "Well, we're gonna replace the furnace." They called me up after I had already paid my $150 deductible that I needed to pay another $100 to get the new furnace ordered, then yesterday, they called me up and said now I have to pay the company that's doing the work an additional $500. All in all, it's been a horrid experience and I'm never going to recommend Cinch to anybody. It's a rip-off company. They're screwing people over left and right, and they're trying to do stuff on the cheap. I'm exceptionally unhappy, and I recommend people not to bother with them.
Dear James, We appreciate your feedback and we are sorry to hear that your claim experience was not what you expected. As with all warranties, coverage is detailed in the Agreement and there are items and conditions which may not be covered by your warranty.

I was surprised that there was a $200 deposit to put in any claim. We had a claim that we submitted for our hot water heater and that process was frustrating. It took a while to get any update or response. We were out of hot water for three weeks. I had to reach out to our Realtor. She got in contact with somebody that she knew at Cinch that was a higher-up. They contacted me, and that was when it was escalated.
They would not replace the hot water heater. They would only replace what we had exactly but they could not find it. The one that they ended up sending to us was not measured correctly and did not fit under our house. We had to wait a couple extra days before we could even figure out any type of resolution at that point. We ended up having to get a check sent so that we could get a new hot water heater. We had to hire an electrician to rewire so that we can move the hot water heater into our garage instead of under our house. At this point, we're not gonna be using Cinch going forward. We ended up spending 1,500 out of pocket on top of what was sent to us for our claim. We were not very pleased with Cinch.
Whitney, Please know that our goal is always to be transparent and clear regarding the coverage provided by our plan. The policy explicitly outlines that there is a deductible for each service request, covering the service provider's service call fee, diagnosis, and any covered work completed.
Our records indicate that we facilitated a comparable replacement for your water heater. It is essential to note that, as with any home warranty, the coverage details are specified in the Agreement. Some items and conditions may not qualify for coverage. Your warranty specifically covers parts and labor for covered repairs and replacements, excluding any modifications, upgrades, or relocation of a covered item. We genuinely regret that your claim experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Your input is valuable to us.

I don't like the wait time when filing a claim with Cinch. It's hard to get to the whole prompts when trying to get somebody to talk to. They want you to do it through the phone, and it's hard to give a detail of what's going on. When I saw a leak in my basement, I thought it was a plumbing issue. The plumbing people came and they found out that it was a leak from the back of my refrigerator that was going down into the basement that was causing that leak through the wall. They had to call in somebody to come and fix the refrigerator, which they’re still working on. They’re still waiting on a part. This is the second time the repairman's coming in for the refrigerator.

Cinch fixed a dryer, but I wouldn't recommend them to anybody. If you want a claim, you call in, and before they'll talk to you, you have to pay $115. Whether they do anything or not, that is neither here nor there. Their mindset is to say no first. They blanket cover everybody for nothing. They sent over a plumber with the lowest rating in the area and he said, "They're not gonna replace it, but I'll replace it for you." Our water heater was 10 years old and it was broken. They said the water couldn't be above 85. It wasn't supposed to be 85 psi. It's supposed to be 65. But all houses, before they changed the code, didn't have any pressure regulator. Now, they do. I was a builder before I retired and we never had a problem with the water pressure. I called up the city and that part of town is 85 psi.

I received two text messages asking me if I needed help setting up the appointment. I responded yes on both text messages. But I have yet to hear from anybody at Cinch or an authorized repair person to tell me that they've received my service request and when someone will be out.
This is the first time I've requested service and if this is how it's gonna go, I will cancel the contract. I can't even find a phone number on the Cinch website for customer service.

I've had a couple of good experiences. But the only reason I'm holding on to the policy is because I have things that I'm afraid might break. Other than that, Cinch can go straight to hell. In the beginning, they were very responsive. I had a dishwasher issue and the tech came immediately and fixed everything. But recently, there was a complete lack of communication and the ability to find the appropriate technician to fix a Maytag washing machine. It was a clown circus there. A rep would tell me, "Somebody's gonna call you. I'm gonna send this up to chain of command higher." But it was lip service all the way around. I have cancer and I bought this policy so I would have ease of having things fixed. I had to log things to the laundromat. They made my life a nightmare for 30 days over a washing machine.

Every time I called, whatever issue I had was promptly taken care of. But in the last year or so, service hasn't been quite as good as it was in the past. There was a decline in the caliber of the companies that were sent to do the work. I have a water heater that has been giving me issues for five years. The first person who came to work on it showed me what the problem was, did some work on it and told me I could do the fix myself in the future and prevent service calls. So, I had been doing that. I was really happy because he trained me on what to do.
But it got to the point where doing maintenance on the heater would only last a week or two and I had to start all over again. I explained to a different tech what was wrong and he said that because the heater is not showing a code, he's not gonna touch it even though I knew what was wrong. He told me to call him back when the heater has a code. A code came up a few weeks later and I called them. I said, "Can I send you the code so you'll know." But I never heard from the rep. I placed a couple of calls and there was nothing. Cinch should make sure I don't get that company again. I just kept doing my thing every couple of weeks. Finally, it got to where it was going out every day so I called and told them what was going on. Cinch said, "Oh, okay, we'll send you somebody good."
The tech called me from the company and asked, "Is this a gas water heater or electric?" I said it's gas and he said, "Oh, we only service electric." In their system, it showed that they had already done the work. The work order was closed out and there was nothing I could do. So I called back in and I happened to get the right rep. She said, "Oh, that's not satisfactory at all." She was able to go in the system and show the job not being completed. She then assigned me another business to do the work. The techs came and they were awesome. They resolved the issue but it took me two years.
I really feel like I got cheated because on the system, it looked like the contractor has done the work but the tech didn't do anything. I filed a dispute and someone called me saying, "Sorry, we can't help you on that." I had all the documentation and emails I sent to them. Once you file the order for a repair and the contractor responds, it shows on Cinch's system that the work was done when sometimes it's not. That's a little glitch. What was really frustrating was the person I talked to. A couple of times, I asked him where I could hardly understand. I could tell he was just reading a scripted response to me.

My air conditioner went out in the summer and when I tried to submit a claim with Cinch Home, I had to go online and file through the internet. I couldn’t talk to a human but there was an 1800 phone number to call, so I tried that. But they sent me through several loopholes, then finally, it brought me back to where I started where they said that I had to go online and file the claim online. Also, the process is too hard to navigate around. It should be more simple for people who aren't comfortable with doing everything through the internet.
Plus, my warranty said that they were going to fix repairs that I had in my home, but when my air condition went out in the summer, they never repaired it. It took several weeks to get back with me while I was at a holding point, then someone told me that it wasn’t eligible for a replacement after several weeks of them not responding. Then summer was over and they finally got back with me in September. There was no good outcome and I'm not happy with them at all. The process altogether as a whole was frustrating and time-consuming. Aside from that, the cost was $215 and they charged me for a deductible but I didn't even get my product. It was awful. I would rather not have a home warranty than go through all this. They should at least give me my $300 back. I sent them an email about that, too but I haven't heard anything from anybody.

It's been positive with Cinch. I like them. The reps are able to answer all the questions I have. I asked, “When do I have to recertify?” They let me know the date so that I'm aware, and I put that in my calendar. They also tell me how much to expect it to go up. They let me know what's going on. I submitted a claim to have someone come out and service my stove. I was smelling gas, and two of my burners weren't lighting. I paid the deductible and someone came out.
I've only had one person that I was concerned about. Other than that, it's good. The contractors give me information on what to do to maintain my appliances. If they have to come back, they’ll say, “I have to order a part.” They'd tell me how long before they get the part and that they'd be back for the fix. Then I get a call back and they ask me, “How was everything? How was the contractor? How did things go?” They close out the ticket and also tell me I have three months when I file a claim that if anything should go wrong, I can always call back. There's one plumber that I like. I even request him when I need plumbing done. I have requested him a second time, but I wasn't able to get him because I don't think they had him anymore.
All of my appliances are on the policy including my HVAC. That may be why mine is so expensive. The price keeps going up, which I expect. Initially, I could file three claims and pay one copay. But now, if I file three claims, I have to pay three copays. I still have to pay monthly too. I could pay on a yearly basis and don't have to worry about it.

We had a single-family, four-bedroom home that came with a home warranty program and when the year came up, we thought we no longer have a home warranty program. We got a renewal in the mail and it was from HMS, and much to our surprise, we could renew it. We decided the house was big enough and there was enough electrical stuff in the house that it might be worth it to keep the home warranty program. So we did. Occasionally, when something comes up, it's nice to have insurance that covers whatever breaks. So, we just hung on to it. At the 15-year mark, we moved. We sold our house and because we liked the home warranty program, we insisted that the sellers provide us with the home warranty program. And they did. So they paid for the one year and then we've kept it going since.
We have a $200 deductible and for some repairs, we've had to pay $200 that maybe we could have gotten for less. But for the most part, we can't have a service guy out here for much less than that anyway. And if you have a major problem, it's nice that we only have to pay a deductible. So, it's a peace of mind. And in the long haul, it'd probably save us money. Some people are handier than others but we don't happen to be so we're gonna have to call a service guy out one way or the other when something breaks. We had our air conditioning go out as well as our HVAC system at the other house. So, we've had some major expenses and we've only had to pay the deductible.
One thing I don’t like is when they’re making decisions about repair. There comes a point at which it needs to be replaced. I haven't had to yet, but I don't wanna keep paying $200 to have the same appliance go out because Cinch hasn't made a decision that it needs to be replaced. We got a home inspection at our new house and there were some things that were getting toward the end of their useful life. They haven't gone out but in the event they do, I’m wondering how many times Cinch is gonna send the repair guy out before they say this calls for a replacement. And probably, if that happens, that could be a big dissatisfier. When some appliance gets to be 20-plus years old, there's not a lot of sense in putting a lot of repair into it.
Dear Patricia, We appreciate your dedication to our company, and for taking the time to provide this feedback. We hope to be able to deliver the same great service you’ve come to expect from us for many more years! Sincerely, Christine

After I learned the way Cinch worked, it was better. I had a claim last year for a water pump and they told me I had things hooked to the lake towards the irrigation system for the yard. I had placed a new part to it. I called the company that installed it 15 years that got experience with it and paid them. I submitted the bill to Cinch and they said I was supposed to call them first. I asked if they were gonna reimburse me this amount that I paid over the deductible and they said no and that they didn’t have the pump on there. It wasn’t my fault. Their sales rep said it was good.
For this year, about a month ago, I called Cinch and told them I needed someone out here. The air conditioning was not running. It was still a little warm about four weeks ago. The rep gave me the name of the company and the person, and they said the person can’t come out until October. I told them to get somebody else that's on their list. And they did. A nice lady from a local firm came out. The company they recommended gave me top-notch service. The lady was there for about an hour, fixed the air conditioning and had to replace the part. If anything happens to the air conditioning, I'll call Cinch first, but I'll say it is the company I wanna use and that they still work with them.
Cinch is a good company. It's just they didn't explain it or highlight it in their plan that I must call them first to schedule. This is my second year with them. It was $61 and it went up to 84.66. The policy has the things I told the lady about when I first signed up. I got a refrigerator freezer and two mini freezers in the garage, separate units, little storage freezers and the refrigerator in the kitchen. I wanna make sure that the water pump is in the plan. I get some Dominion Power all the time and if they had to replace my wires, my homeowner's insurance does not cover it. I got it for $5 through Cinch and something else to replace any sewage pipes or water. I told them they better be careful because I got a new ground water system. So, they better know how to dig around it. If they damage that, they're gonna pay for it. Cinch was good because I can wear a person out sometimes in a polite way. But they finally got me the right thing for the second go-around.
