Cinch Home Services Reviews

I've been with Cinch for three years now. They send somebody out to fix things if we have issues. Submitting a claim has been relatively easy. Our recent claim was for the furnace. It wouldn't heat until they sent somebody out and fixed it. The techs who came were great. But you pay $200 when they come out and do it and I'm paying a monthly fee too. It's too high. It used to be 125 and it's been jacked up to 200.

Cinch provides very good service and has good people. I've had a number of calls and it went well. It's been an excellent experience. My last claim was plumbing and On Time Plumbers showed up. I called in the afternoon and the plumber was out the next morning. The main shut-off valve for my water supply to the house was leaking and cracked and he fixed it. He was a professional, excellent and delightful guy.

I've had them ever since I've owned this home and it's been 14 years now. They've been good. I've had my recent interactions, which were unsatisfactory. But in the overall scheme of things, they perform well. I would recommend them.

We just had a new air conditioner installed through Cinch. I was pleasantly surprised. Cinch came through and went above and beyond our expectations as far as working with us to not only fix the issue with the air conditioner, but to replace the unit. Brad at Lee County Heating and Cooling really was the biggest factor in the whole equation. He was fantastic. He was a 10 out of 10. His knowledge, professionalism, punctuality, and follow-up stood out. I was very impressed with the contractors that Cinch partnered with. In the future, if I ever have to buy a warranty, I will buy one from Cinch. That's how satisfied we are.

When I submitted a claim with Cinch, it was good. The AC stopped working and they set up with an air conditioning company and they called me and set up the appointment. The techs were good. It took them 15 minutes to fix it.

Recently, we had a good experience with Cinch. But overall, since we've been paying our premiums, I really have had not good experiences. I sent in a claim when the water that runs through the ice maker on the front door of the fridge wouldn't turn off. The contractor had to get a new part. The mechanism that the filter sits in was old and something was wrong with it. So they replaced it. The guy that came out was fantastic. He diagnosed the problem and then ordered the part on a Monday. Then he was back on Thursday and everything was working when he left. It was a very good experience.

We've had Cinch for almost 20 years. When I've dealt with the agents, they've been very polite and understanding. They're very easy to work with. The process is simple and it's an easy monthly payment. We've used Cinch to fix the air conditioning and a stove a number of times, so it's paid for itself. What I like most about the service is the ability to call up and get a contractor out quickly with at least a fixed cost initially without an hourly charge. But sometimes they rush to get the job done and aren't necessarily totally complete with it.

I had an excellent experience with the reps. They were on time, accurate, and kept me up-to-date at each moment. They changed the appointment and then they had an earlier cancellation, which I accepted. It was all very smooth, professional, and informative. The installation crew was superb as well. There were two very professional gentlemen. They were very courteous and pleasant. We have two little dogs and they got on really well with the dogs. They found the part and then replaced it. The more experienced gentleman knew exactly what he was doing. He fixed the item without disrupting the whole setup. When he came back with the part, he just put it in, fixed it, and tested it. It was smooth, easy, and very relaxed.

I like the fast response from Cinch. The communication is great and the tech services are good. It's working great. The contractor that came out was perfect, clean, and knowledgeable. They showed up on time and communicated earlier that the tech was going to be on his way. Then he came and did the job. He followed up just to find out if the part that he replaced was working good and closed the deal. It was easy to do business with Cinch. They have always been great. Every time I had something going on here in the house, they helped fix it and take care of it.

Cinch Home Services corresponds with me. The individual that they sent provided good feedback, called and communicated. I have one job that is outstanding, but I'm hopefully supposed to be done by tomorrow.

It used to be that there was no service charge. Now, there is one. Also, it used to be that it took a while to get a service rep out here after we called in a claim. It has been working out better now.

I learned about Cinch through my real estate agent who helped me buy a house this past spring. I purchased an older home and she recommended it as part of keeping up with normal maintenance and wear and tear of the home. I thought that it was a great value for the potential savings that it would provide in the case of repairs needing to happen or emergency situations wherever systems fail.

Submitting a claim for the water heater was a little complicated because I had to call 20 times to ask Cinch to send me the person who would fix it because it was dripping water. I had to shut off the water for my whole house and it was a week without water. So, it was very difficult. The repair people needed to replace the water heater and I had to pay for them to get the permits. It is working okay but I haven't received the permit or the replacement.

When I bought this condo, they had Cinch already on it so I continued it through the next year and then signed up to have it activated again just a few weeks ago. I had an incident with my furnace, which wasn't turning on. I called and was scheduled for Sears to come out and service my furnace. It was a very easy claims process. They had to order a part and the tech came back the next week and repaired my furnace. He explained what he was doing and what part he was ordering. He was very nice and concerned about cleaning up afterwards. Everyone that I had contact with since was very helpful and considerate of my age. They helped me get things ordered in the way I should have. I did have to pay $150 to have the part ordered but that was the only thing.

We bought our house and the previous homeowner got Cinch as our home warranty. Their service is good and we've renewed. Sometimes submitting a claim is easier than others. The online experience is easy, but if I have to call customer service, it can be a bit of a runaround. Calling a number and trying to get to a real person can be difficult. Besides that, our experiences with the contractors have always been good. They're local, and they've always been responsive and helpful. They show up when they say they would and they're people that I would call back on my own if we needed to have some kind of service done. Overall, it's nice to have a warranty plan.

When we first purchased our home, Cinch was one of the services that was paid for and it's great. It's a neat concept. It's like living in an apartment, but without being in an apartment. Our heat stopped working and with the winter coming, we tried to get it done as quickly as possible. I went in one day to put in the claim online, which was quick and easy, and then, the next day, they were out here. The guy taught me how to fix it if it happened again. It was just a quick switch that needed to be pressed.

Cinch bought out HMS whose customer I have been for so long. When the spark lighter on our gas kitchen range stopped working, they sent someone to repair it. However, they weren't able to fix it at all ‘cause the unit is so old. They can't get parts for it anymore. I had a very helpful discussion with the repairman who has long experience with such situations, and he recommended that I use a grill lighter to light the burners by hand instead of buying a new unit. He was a great source of information about that unit, which I would have never figured out for myself. Overall, I'm entirely satisfied with Cinch. Every time I've dealt with them, they've been prompt in responding to my request and have sent out good people to do the work. What more can I ask for?

I had an HMS warranty program, then Cinch replaced it and they've been good. Submitting claims has been straightforward. They haven't been too difficult to deal with.

I had a tech come out and look at something. It was great. It was easy to get everything scheduled and he was able to get everything fixed quickly. He was nice. I always appreciate technicians letting me watch what they were doing so I could learn just in case I have that issue and he didn't have a problem with that.

The amount Cinch Home Services provided aligns with how much they were willing to pay. Also, submitting a claim is easy. But their time to send a technician is bad. When I first moved in, I had a problem with my AC. When I submitted a ticket, they said it would take two weeks to get someone here. I was, "It's Texas. It's summer. I can't wait for two weeks to get a technician in." My refrigerator had some problem. Cinch sent someone in within a week but he was not professional. He came in to diagnose, disappeared for two weeks, came in again with the wrong parts. After a month, he came in and fixed the problem.

Submitting a claim is easy. However, we still have issues with that same claim that we put in. I've been waiting for a phone call from Cinch Home Services a month now and they haven't reached out. There was a pipe repair that was to be done. They "repaired it", but there was more damage than just that pipe. I sent over a quote with people I had to hire for them to inspect and quote out something for repair. I sent out the invoice, but I haven't heard back.

I already had this home warranty and Cinch took over. I didn't know that they switched over until I called. After I called and was concerned when I found out that I had to pay, they sent the new rules. It wasn't sent previously when they took over. It used to be where you just pay your deductible and then the techs come out and fix it. If they have to replace it, they just do. I was used to that. But now, I have to pay and then pay the deductible. And then pay for something else.

I'm very happy with the product. I've never bought a home warranty before and this is my fifth house. I wish I would have known before. We bought the property and took over in August 7th, and we've had three claims. I was very happy that there wasn't any back and forth. Cinch hasn't questioned anything that I've reported and it's been taken care of right away. If I had a problem on the website when I was trying to submit a claim, I had very helpful customer service when I called. I haven't had any problem with them.

I would not go through Cinch again for anything. I had an air conditioning issue and they sent people out here multiple times. They allowed the contractors to cut filters out of the line that's supposed to be blocking all the trash, then they put stop leak in my system, which caused everything to stop up. The problem to begin with was my compressor was no good. It was going bad. I had a couple of people that I know, relatives, who looked and diagnosed the problem.

Doing claims with Cinch is way easier than I thought it was gonna be. I haven't used them because I thought it would be easier to do it and pay for it myself. But I thought it's silly to pay for it and not use it so I used it for the first time and it was great. I get my HVAC system tuned up in the spring for summer and in the fall for winter. Instead of calling the company I normally do, I reached out to Cinch, asked them if they do it as part of the home warranty and they said yes. They got somebody out here who was very pleasant. He billed Cinch and it was a piece of cake.

I like that Cinch is one place to call if I have some issues. My technicians have always been good, and they usually respond the same day and schedule a service call. However, the deductible has increased significantly over the last five years that I've had Cinch. That's annoying.

With Cinch, I like the quickness of getting someone out there when I have an issue. I don't have to wait days for it. However, the first contractor that came out didn't pay attention to the job. It was a pipe in my wall for the washing machine that was leaking. Two days later, I had to call Cinch back and the guy that came out was the best. Everything's working great now.

I did a claim for my heater that's not working right. The guys came out right away to look at it. They said that the gas valve needs to be replaced but until the unit stops working, they couldn't do anything about it. But it's real loud noise that we can't even hardly sleep at night, and we have to turn off the heat when we need it. That's been frustrating that they have to wait until it stops working. But overall, I like Cinch. I've had them for 20 years now and the contractors seem to be able to fix and repair things.

When I got the free service for Cinch to tune up my furnaces, that went very well. That was a part of my policy that they would service my central air. But they did not include the hot water tank so I have to go out of my pocket and pay that. It was not what they discussed when I first signed up with them and I told them what package I was looking for. They also got a lot of things on there that I don't even have, like a pool or a Jacuzzi tub.

Cinch came with the house that I recently bought, so I went with it. It was free for a whole year for me, and any little problem that I've had has been fixed. I've reached out twice. I did it through the app, then the last time, something was wrong with the app. I called over the phone, and the lady on the phone was nice and helped me fill everything out. They got everything scheduled. They were user-friendly, and I like the quick feedback. That's everything a customer wants.

Cinch had someone come out once for my dishwasher and once for my washing machine. Both times, they did excellent, professional jobs. They kept me informed and there were no surprises.

I purchased a house and the home warranty was Cinch. I've made claims, and the second time was perfect, but the first time was not good. I moved in and the ice machine was all frozen over and one of the compartments was not freezing. Someone came out and did a fine job of trying to fix my refrigerator, but the ice machine wasn't working after a few days. I called back, but the person at Cinch wasn't able to do anything about it until the report came in and the repairman hadn't made a report yet. I had difficulty trying to schedule again until I complained online. I got a survey and I slammed Cinch because my ice machine wasn't fixed and I didn't even get a call back after the Cinch guy said, "I'll call you as soon as I hear back from him."

We see a big difference between Cinch and another company we used to have. The tech was great with our most recent claim. He came over and looked at the garbage disposal. It looked like it was about to die any moment and it wasn't worth fixing it. Some places try to do the minimum but he didn't make us go through this whole thing. He made sure it was okay, set up a new one, checked everything, and gave us advice on how to keep it working properly. Usually, they don't spend that much time like that so that was nice.

My claim was slow to get started as I live in a rural area but then my claim was fast tracked with complete satisfaction. Management made sure that I was taken care of and my claim paid quickly for repair of my appliance.

Called to get appliance serviced. Told by technician that part was not covered and we ordered only to find out it's discontinued and there's no replacement. Cinch and Sears knew this and are stalling or will not give us our refund. Speaking to the same 3 stooges and all I get is promises, promises. Right hand not knowing what left is doing.

I have been using Cinch for years at my business and I decided to put one on my house six months ago. I have submitted one claim and it was great. The techs who came out were fine. I've been in the business for 30 years. I know all of the home warranty companies out there and I like Cinch. I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't believe in it.

Our experience with Cinch has not been good. We got it when we bought our house five years ago. First, we had a microwave go out, and they said it wasn't covered. A second thing broke, and they said it wasn't covered either. What the hell do we have this policy for? I was so mad, but I figured I better not talk to anybody. However, after this year, we'll drop their policy.

Cinch did a great job with my appliances. I had the service for almost over 10 years. I am now selling my house so I cancelled it but I'll get them again when I get another house. I was just dissatisfied that my monthly payment went up to $150 instead of $100. Not only did they go up on my monthly payments, they also went up on deductible. Also, I was confused when I was trying to get ahold of them on the phone. I was talking to folks who were saying they were taking phone calls for Cinch. I didn't understand a lot of stuff that was going on.

Cinch had somebody come fix my oven, but overall, I've not been pleased with their services. I had my boyfriend take off work, but the contractor did not come out. They messaged me about 30 minutes before the window was over, said that they weren't coming and that I needed to reschedule. I had to reschedule really far out because I didn't wanna have to take off work to have it done. I had to pick a time that I didn't work to schedule it.

It's been great with Cinch. Their process is very easy and their technicians are very professional. The quality of work they do surpasses our standard.

I had my home warranty prior to Cinch, then they changed hands three years ago. It rolled over to Cinch with a new buyout, and while the previous company was good, Cinch was even better. The reps are very helpful when I submit service requests. The technician who serviced my garbage disposal was so kind as well. I live by myself and I fractured my knee. My leg was in an immobilizer that wouldn't let it bend, so I couldn't take anything out from under the cabinet. The technician took everything out, replaced the garbage disposal, and put everything back. It was really excellent customer service, and everything's working great. I'm always trying to tell people, "Do a home warranty."

When I bought my house in March, my realtor suggested Cinch and said that her clients have had a great experience. I submit claims though the online platform or by calling. Sometimes the reps don't know what it is that I'm talking about, but other than that, I haven't had any issues. They find people to come out to the house, then I don't have to do that work. Cinch has been great and I'd tell people to buy the home warranty.

Sometimes Cinch works really well, but it depends a lot on who they call to do repairs. They work off a list and sometimes you get a good company but sometimes you get a bad one. I live in what I don't consider a rural area, but everybody else seems to. The main hub of all the people who have companies to fix things are 10 to 20 miles away. Recently, my air conditioning wasn't working. I could turn the fan on, but the cooling unit wouldn't work in my upstairs unit. Sears missed two appointments, and the time for being there for their appointment was between 7:00 in the morning and 6:00 in the evening. That sucked because I took off those days.

I was given Cinch when I bought a home and it was in place. I then kept the service going because we're in an older home now and things are getting a little older. I'm not that happy though. I've had good experiences and bad. I had to have my microwave replaced, and they just gave me the money. It's ridiculous how they do this. I also had my washer fixed and it's working, but I'm not sure if there's fine print in their company that I am not aware of.

When I got the service, I was paying 75 initially when the contractor came out, and then all of a sudden, it jumped from one point to 200. It didn't happen gradually. So when anybody comes out, it's $200 and I don't like that because several times they came out with something minor and the man said, "Well, you gotta pay the 200." Other than that, I've been satisfied with Cinch. They take care of the job. They send good people out. I like the people that are under their contract. More than anything, it's knowing that you got support when something goes wrong in your house.

Cinch is a scam! BEWARE! I filed two claims, paid my $150 deductible and two months later I'm told one of my items wasn't covered, even though they said it was and they "sent" the parts to the service provider, who never received them. So here I am, over two months later with still broken items. Whenever I called Cinch in the pass I spoke to people I could barely understand and didn't have a clue, telling me multiple lies just to get me off the phone. DO NOT USE CINCH! When I tried to cancel my plan they gave me the run around, eventually I got it canceled. CINCH IS A COMPLETE SCAM! Beware, you have been warned!

Horrible costumer service. Water heater has been out for 2 weeks, and now won't get fixed for another week or even longer. And of course they can't get some else out. And can't call someone else because they don't reimburse.

I got Cinch as a housewarming gift and I continued it after the first year. It was HMS when I first purchased the plan, and it became Cinch seven years ago. The automated system is not good but when I call the customer service line, a human being answers that phone. 99.9% of the time, it's been good with the technicians.

The submitting process is fine. It was mostly through online. But there were a couple pieces of information that were unclear. I got a call telling me someone needed to discuss something with me. I called the number and it would put me through this automated system, but I couldn't get ahold of the person that I was supposed to call back. There was no direct number to call back when I get requested to call back somebody. I would end up going through the system and it would say, "Do you wanna check on your claim?” I couldn't get ahold of somebody to update me on the situation. Why couldn't I do that if I was told to submit the claim through online and I couldn't get ahold of somebody? That is the part that doesn't make sense to me.

The thing I like most is that we don't have to try to find providers. We don't have to worry if they were reputable. If they weren't, Cinch would deal with it. They're a great middle person to help us to get a provider. We tell Cinch Home Services something's going on, and they put us in contact with the provider. We pay our deductible and we go from there. We would not be able to do it any other way. Our stove had a problem. It was a little bumpy. We were without a stove for a month. It was the part. It was an old stove. I didn't realize how old. Cinch got a part. The tech came out, but the part didn't work. They had to wait for another part.

Whatever I had needed to be done, Cinch has been handling it pretty well. I had a microwave oven and they couldn't replace it, so they gave me money to buy one. Also, my interactions with their claims representatives have been very well and the techs have been good to me. Cinch takes a fee out every month and I gotta pay a deductible if something happens but they’d take care of it.

The biggest disappointment ever! Their salesperson at Sam’s Club convinced me that all the electrical, mechanical, and plumbing are fully covered under their plan. Sad to say, it was all lies. I needed AC repair. Cinch sent me a contractor. They diagnosed the system and listed the items that needed replacement to fix my system. They presented me with an invoice of $6,400. I told them to contact Cinch. They said 90% of the items that were supposed to be covered by Cinch were not covered. I had no choice but to fix my AC at my own expense. After months of calls and emails Cinch sent me $300. I immediately cancelled the service. This company is a big joke and I caution you to be very careful before you decide to join. Their contractors are of the lowest quality ever! I had a leak in the tub faucet. Cinch sent me a plumber. He came unequipped and didn’t have the right tools in his van. He went to Home Depot to buy some needed tools. He returned after an hour and removed the faucet and replaced it with a new one I bought from Moen. I asked him to seal around the faucet to avoid any wall damage from water seeping through. He told me it’s not needed. I told him water can enter through the gaps and damage my walls and develop mold. He said he didn’t have sealant in his van. I asked him to call his boss. We were communicating through Google translate by the way. Luckily his boss spoke English. He understood what I said and explained to the plumber what he needed to do. The plumber went to his van and came back with a tube of lubricant and lubricated all around the faucet. Instead of sealing around the faucet, he lubricated it. I lost my temper and kicked him out my house. Trust me people, do not become a victim like me. Do not join this company. You will regret it. You are better off paying out of pocket for your repairs than relying on a company that contracts the lowest quality and most unprofessional unskilled trades in the City of Houston. Thank God I cancelled them!

When I submitted a claim with Cinch, it was speedy. We've had someone come out in a couple of days. However, there had been two things we thought would be covered that were not covered. We had a sink that was leaking. Whatever was broken was not covered in the warranty. The guy did what he could to repair it. But it was broken within the first couple of weeks we moved in. I don't know if that's not explained very well that that's not covered. But it seemed like something that would have been covered because we had a full warranty. It was a little disappointing. But the techs sent have been great.

I'd recommend Cinch. They do what they said they'd do and respond quickly to our needs. I recently did a claim for the air conditioner that had stopped working. I tried to do it online, but the time given for response was three weeks. I called and got somebody out the next day. The repairman who came out was very knowledgeable and had it fixed in no time. He checked and determined that it was the capacitor, and he replaced it.

For the most part, Cinch has done what it says it's gonna do. I go online to submit a claim. I put in the claim and typically get a call within 24 hours. For the most part, I'm happy with the contractors. There was one experience several years ago that I requested a different contractor. I wasn't comfortable with what they were saying. I wasn't comfortable with the approach they wanted to take. I didn't think they properly diagnosed the issue. I had another contractor come out who gave a different diagnosis of what I thought the problem was, and that was more aligned with the service that was needed. Cinch is reliable. The most frustrating thing is when I have to call Cinch directly, and it takes an hour to get through all the prompts to get a person on the phone. I'd recommend Cinch if somebody had a need.

I've had a good experience with Cinch. The technicians are very good. They do their job well, and they know what the problem is. They ask beforehand the make of the model, if it is an appliance problem and things. Usually, they have their stuff with them so they just come and fix the issue.

My husband calls or goes online to submit a claim with Cinch. Our experience with the technicians has been good. The latest thing we had was when they came out to check my washer machine because it was making a weird noise. The technician said that in his experience, it’s the transmission going out, but it's okay to use it because the warranty company doesn't cover a loud noise. But if transmission stops working, then they would come out and either fix it or replace the machine. We're satisfied.

The first claim with Cinch was a little challenging when we had our HVAC out for one month before we got it replaced. For the last claim which was for a dishwasher that went out, that was a lot better. The dishwasher was fixed so we're happy about that. The technicians seem to know what they're doing. Overall, it's pretty good with the service once they are able to fix the issue.

I'm impressed with how quickly Cinch resolves situations. They send techs out in less than a week, and they are very knowledgeable and tend to do a good job. I haven't had any concerns or issues with them since they helped me.

We had problems with our furnace. It was complicated, but it's been resolved and Cinch was helpful in getting that taken care of.

When I had an air conditioning problem, Cinch assigned the claim pretty quickly, but the people they assigned it to couldn't get to me for almost two weeks. It took too long to get the project done on my schedule, and I'm open to any day. Same thing happened when I had refrigerator problems. Also the price is a little high and I could never get ahold of anybody until I put a bad review. After this last time with my air conditioning, Cinch wanted a rating. I put in something that wasn't good and they called me. But their technicians did great a job once they were able to put me in the schedule.

I have filed about seven claims with Cinch and they have all gone smoothly. I have a brand-new dishwasher and microwave and water heater because of Cinch. Their rate has gotten more expensive every year, but that makes sense. We're not a new home anymore. So it’s fine.

At the time the amount of payment was very satisfactory to me. Also, Cinch Home Services is responsive. They follow up with every request that I submit. It's on time, which is a good thing about them. In the gap of four years that I am here and I have this contract, I have filed two claims to them. I did one a month ago. Their services are excellent. However, the deductible is a bit higher than their competitors, which made me think twice to get out of this contract with Cinch and go with another provider. But due to my busy schedule, I never came to that point. Recently, Cinch doubled its price to me. They increased it from $31 to $56 plus I have never been reached out to for it. I'm not happy with that.

A technician came and fixed my oven burner which was clogged. They were cool, but it was a little long without having that burner. It took almost a week for them before they came out. But it got taken care of and other than that, I was okay with everything.

We filed a claim because our 30 yo downstairs HVAC was not cooling properly. The coils and outside line were obviosuly leaking because they continue to ice over. However, that did not warrant a leak check says Cinch. So they added freon which did nothing to help the situation, still not cooling and still icing over and leaking on my garage floor. Then, our "Customer Advocate Specialist" told us via email AND voicemail message that our "entire unit" would be replaced. After a month of trying to get the work schedule, I finally received a call from the service provider that they were only approved to replace the coils, and the $1200 I signed off on paying was to modify the old system so that the new coils would fit! This is unacceptable! They need to honor their initial decision. There is something suspicious going on here. When you call and ask to speak with someone else, the company will only allow you to talk to your "Customer Advocacy Specialist."

This is follow up review of the AC repair with Cinch home warranty services. They did fix and replaced damaged part of the AC and is working ok for now and I hope it will last. Thank you for fixing my AC and I appreciate the lady that follow up on the call for me.

We had the Sears/Cinch Home Warranty from July 2023 until October 2024. Our kitchen had older appliances. We first used the warranty service on our dishwasher and had prompt service. But then recently our fridge died. A local repair provider dispatched from Sears came promptly and said we needed a new compressor. We waited a full 2 weeks but the part was not available (backordered). During this wait, our range/oven died and we opened another service request. But before the repair person came, we decided to get all new kitchen appliances and not wait any longer. We noted that calls to the warranty staff required a lengthy phone recorded menu and that some representatives we finally talked to could not be easily understood (foreign speakers?). We had to keep trying and finally were able to cancel both service requests and then finally the warranty contract itself after lengthy argument with a warranty representative. At no time was any financial compensation in lieu of repair/replacement offered to us to help us with the new purchases. So we are out over $2000 with nothing to show for it except a lot of aggravation. If you have all older appliances and have experienced trouble getting a local repair person to come to your home, then maybe this warranty would be good for you. But it didn't really help us.

Cinch is good. Things happen and they'll be there. You pay a deductible and that's where it goes so sometimes it saves you a lot of money. I like that they fix everything. I did a claim on a water heater and it went well. I put it in one day, and the next day, a repairman was out here fixing it. He replaced two elements to fix it. One thing that could be improved would be time sometimes. I know that they have to go through the channels and get everything approved but they could make it a little faster. They come to find out there's a problem, then they gotta run it through and get it approved, and it might take a couple of days. If it's your air conditioning, it might take a couple of days and it might be the dead of summer. It's hard to go without AC. I had a problem with my heater and it was taking a little bit. Cinch told me to go buy these heaters to use and they paid for them until they got the part in.

Cinch has been very helpful. I've been a member for almost 10 years and I've had really positive experiences. Occasionally, I've had some issues though. With my dishwasher last month, it took four weeks for it to be resolved. In some cases, it takes more than a week. If they can have more service providers to cover those events, that would be great. But I had a furnace problem this week, and it was resolved in one day. I plan to continue to be a Cinch member.

We were with HMS and Cinch took over the policies. One time, we called to let them know that we were having a problem with the fridge, but they said that what I was calling about wasn't covered. A while after that, the fridge started leaking, so we called them up and they sent out Taylor Home Appliances. They very nice people and it was determined that the part that needs to be replaced was obsolete. So they offered us a replacement for it, but the replacement they offered wouldn't fit in the kitchen. It would have blocked the doorway to the laundry room. That's why we wound up doing the cash-out and found our own refrigerator. Everything went very well. Aside from that, the price of the policy increased, and it's a little high.

I've been with Cinch since July. There's terrible miscommunication, and any claim takes a really long time. There isn't a feedback loop with the providers that they use, so it ends up pending for weeks and weeks at a time. I had a really terrible experience with my dishwasher. I submitted a claim in July, and I just had a dishwasher installed last week. It took three months and having five people come out, and they kept telling me the same thing. It was just a bunch of disjointed providers.

When we purchased our home, they provided us with a home warranty. We continued it once that one expired, then Cinch bought out the company that we previously had. Recently, I did a claim with my dishwasher. It was leaking water. I put the claim in online and they quickly assigned me a technician. The technician came out a week later, but he wasn't able to repair my dishwasher on that visit and the service company quickly learned that they couldn't get the parts. Cinch contacted me about the replacement, and we communicated about how I wanted to go about it. I'm now in the replacement phase, and I've already received the check for it.

The claims process was fine. I called, I gave Cinch Home Services a $100 deductible, they called somebody, and got the contractor here. It was a simple fix. The tech fixed the air conditioner and it's fine. He was very professional. He resolved it very quickly.

I'm very happy with Cinch. The only thing is the deductible is expensive. Overall, it's still more affordable than paying full price for everything also. The technician that came in was young and untrained yet. My wife told him what the issue was, and he still did what he wanted to do. We had to wait two weeks for the part, even though we told him, "This is the problem." He said, "There's no burner on the bottom, on the stove." We said, "How? What do you mean there's no burner? There is a burner in the stove on the bottom." He looked up something on his phone and he was like, "See. There's no burner."

Submitting a claim with Cinch Home Services was easy, simple and effective. It was for my dryer not working. It wasn't heating up. Cinch fixed it. The techs were informative and polite.

I do my claims to Cinch by phone. I'm not very good at the internet, but it's good. I just follow the prompts and I usually am able to get ahold of somebody to tell. Recently, I had my washer repaired. It went really well. The people from the appliance service was affiliated with Sears. They called me up and asked me what was all going on. I gave a description to the Cinch people, but the appliance repair called me. They knew exactly what part to get and they didn't have to make another trip. So, that was good. I would tell others to try Cinch out. Prices are so high if you have to buy a new appliance yourself or just get a regular repairman. Then you have to pay for the part. All that adds up. So, it's a lot better to have the warranty.

I've had great experiences with Cinch. You can't get anyone on the phone, but the online thing works really well. Last time, I had really quick response as to an appointment. The time before, it was like two weeks before they could get out. I think they were just really busy. Other than that, the service has been great. I plan on keeping it.

The claim was for my AC. It was simple and easy. I got on the website. Filled it out. It was very smooth. I had good technicians.

Submitting a claim to Cinch was very easy, and I was happy with the way it went until I got to the point where the company that they chose to come out called me with, “We have authorization to replace your water heater, but we have to discuss the uncovered charges.” When I asked what the uncovered charges were, it was $1,216. So, if they were charging that, then how much is Cinch paying them to change out my water heater? The cost of the water heater was $800. Plus, if they're paying them $500 to install it, so I'm looking at $2,700 to have a water heater reinstalled. I'd done it myself for $40.

Cinch has been a great resource for me. I don't have to worry about stuff breaking down. And when they do break down, they come out. So, I like it. It’s a very good service. They're very prompt. When they say they're gonna be here, they're gonna be here. If they can't make it, they tell me right away. They say, "What's a good day for you?" So, we reschedule. I like that the people know what they're doing. The people who come out are very nice people.

My experience with Cinch has been positive, so far. I haven't had an issue with someone not coming out. The person also contacted me back quickly when I submitted a claim. One tech came a bit late, but that wasn't a big deal. One time, one person had to get called back because he thought he fixed the air conditioning, but the issue was still there. But he came back the next day and fixed it. I've been pleased, overall. However, one time I accidentally hit "Yes" for, "Has this appointment been scheduled?" and I clicked, "No." But I had flipped those back in my mind. I wanted to go back and say, "Never mind, please schedule this," and there was no way to.

I was referred to Cinch by a family member who said that she had great success with them. Also, the home that I purchased had a warranty with Cinch, so I ended up going ahead with the service. Recently, I called the service line from an email and spoke with a representative who helped me submit my claim. It was very easy, then I was given an email and a text message on who the service provider was going to be, what time I should expect them, and their name. When the tech came, he was professional and he did what he needed to do. He gave me good insight and helped with ensuring that the issue didn't occur again. I've referred family members to Cinch. They are who they say they are and they help when they say they can help. They give you clear guidelines on what they can do and what they can't and I like the ease of communication.

The representatives of Cinch were hard to understand. They could have told me at the beginning that what I was calling about was not covered. I paid $100 for something that they did not cover. The technician doesn't tell you anything. It's happened twice. They were both plumbing issues. Don't waste your money with Cinch.

Submitting a claim with Cinch has been super easy. They've been good. I also love that I can submit a claim online and not have to talk to anybody on the phone. I should have filed a complaint about one technician, though. For the most part, the techs have been good, but I had one guy come out for my furnace and he was not good. The second time I had to call about my furnace, it was a different company that came and they found that the previous guy, the rude one, had cut a wire. But the last plumber that they sent out to me was AP Plumbing and they were wonderful.

When I had a claim, the contractor came out and did what they were supposed to do. The person explained everything they were doing, and the reason why I was having the problem. I was very much satisfied. My experience with Cinch was great.

The claims process is normally pretty standard. It's normally online and usually pretty quick. My experience with their techs has been good.

Cinch's service is good. I had an issue with my AC unit and it was blowing hot air. I had to go online and identify what the issue was, what my need was, pay my deductible, and then after that, they would contact me with a vendor who's gonna be the one doing the work. I just have to wait until the vendor calls me back and then schedule an appointment. The vendors they've sent out were good. For the most part, they were able to resolve my issues the same day.

I recommend Cinch Home Services to everyone. It's something that I tell every friend of mine, "If you're gonna buy a house, go here. Get this from this company." It has been a lifesaver. Submitting claims with them has been easy. I can do most of it online and text. I usually don't have to talk to anybody. I pay a little deductible and the contractor would come out. Depending on the time of year, it could take a while to get someone out. But it has never been terrible. We have a system when we have guests. If there is a technician working, they would stay down in the basement. The contractor would yoo-hoo up to us, because we work in the office upstairs, so we can get the dogs. Because we wanna make sure the dogs stay calm. They've been accommodating. Cinch replaced my hot water heater, and all I had to do was pay a deductible. It saved us financially.

I'm a Realtor, so we do follow the HMS product which is now Cinch and I keep it on my house. Submitting a claim was fine. It was an older stove and it took way too long to get the parts so I had to do quite a bit of follow-up and complaining. I probably was without a stove for at least a month, which was a long time. But they finally got the parts and it's fixed now and everything is good. The technicians were very helpful and did their job.

We looked into Cinch Home Services. They had some great packages, so we went ahead and purchased it. It covers a variety of all the things in our house. It's a great home warranty service. Great customer service, and very efficient service when they send out contractors to get stuff fixed. We recently had a broken garbage disposal. I logged in through my account online, picked what the problem was, brief description, and the contractor sent me a text and said, “My name's Justin. I've been assigned to your case for Cinch. When's a good time to come out?” Set up that appointment, came out within a few days. They got the whole thing fixed instead of replaced, and saved us 600 bucks. They were fantastic. The guy that came out was super kind. He explained everything that was going on, worked very efficiently and worked around our schedule.

I've had my house for about 11 years so I've had Cinch for that long. I’ve had to submit several claims and haven't had any problems. They first came with a price that wasn't even near to helping me do what I had to do. But I called them and we worked it out though I had to come out of pocket a couple of hundred dollars. They're good people and everything went fine. I've had to use them a lot and I'm glad that I have them.

The times we have requested the services, they've been fine and the techs they send out are very well. I've been satisfied and I'd recommend them.

I've been with Cinch for about six months. The plan I chose covers everything and they were pretty good. The dishwasher went and they replaced it. I filed the claim over the computer and someone got back to me either the same day or the next morning. They were very quick in doing that. They scheduled a repairman to come out and he came out to check the washer.

My experience with Cinch has been very good. I submitted a claim via the phone and talked to a representative. And that was very straightforward. They were very helpful and professional and they answered all my questions. As well as submitting a claim through their website, it was very easy. They followed up within 24 hours to make sure that the companies that were scheduled to come work, had gotten back to me and that it had been scheduled, as well as making sure that I was pleased with the service and the service was completed to my expectations. They were very responsive in making sure that the process was very well-handled.

Our furnace had a gas leak as temperatures were dropping in the north. As we had two toddlers, it was important to get our furnace up and running as nights started freezing. I found the customer service to be some of the worst I have experienced. Their systems were also lacking. I had to contact them three times a day for a week to get our service request processed, documents uploaded and receive a response.

I purchased a home, and it came with a one-year warranty through Cinch. Everything in the house is covered, and their customer service has been very good. I've had two different calls from them. The first time, it didn't go very well. I'm not the stove expert and I don't know why it wouldn't work, but Cinch refunded my first service call.

Been working over 2 months to get washing machine fixed. Including no shows for confirmed appointments and horrible communication between Cinch and Sears home service. Difficult to reach live people. Recommend realtor to not use them either. Use anyone but Cinch.

This place is the worst. I have my dishwasher melt and it took 4 months, at least 5 phone calls at an average of 1.5 hours each to get a replacement. There was never any direction of what needs to be in place before they could install the dishwasher. The dishwasher finally was delivered and the employees installing noticed a leaky valve and could not install. They left the dishwasher to be installed once the leak was fixed. When the leak was fixed, I called to get someone to come install, they pretty much told me they do not do that and did not have anyone to recommend to install. They also issued me $100 to have it installed. I was not able to get anyone to come install for less than $300. When I called, the agent on the phone kept repeating themselves and told me they did not have any contact information for their authorization department to question the amount I was getting. I had to rely on the old “check is in the mail”. DO NOT CONTRACT WITH THIS BUSINESS. Had Sears for years and my warranty was sold or managed or whatever by cinch. This is the worst service I have had in a really long time.

Bottom line up Front: Wayne M. help solved our Viking refrigerator issue in three days. He is one of the best customer service advocate that I have ever interacted with. He did an excellent job following up and kept me informed. His customer skills are among the best I’ve seen in more than 40 years. He’s an excellent representative for CINCH.

I renewed Cinch after a year from the seller. I also had them for five years in my previous home. What I like most is the peace of mind knowing that some large expense could be avoided. But my most recent and current experience has been horrendous. Six weeks ago, my refrigerator stopped cooling. I had to wait a couple of weeks to get a technician and another 10 days to get a part. Then the part was the wrong part, so I'm still waiting. They are supposed to get back to me and I'm trying to give that time. This has been one of these hands-off things where I never talked to the same person. I am 80 years old, and I'm walking in and out of the garage to get my milk. It's the most ridiculous thing. I'm very disappointed in the follow-up, and I'm thinking of whether to keep Cinch or not.

I have an AC been calling for repair and tech. said that it needs to be replaced but the authorization guy with cinch/sears home warranty is inflexible and not cooperating with the technician. will wait and see if they will be able to fix my AC, I have been with Cinch home services for more than 2 to 3 yrs.

I have challenges getting on to my online Cinch account. In fact, I keep getting locked out and I'm never able to get on to doing my claim, so I have to call. What happens is they call a company, and then that company sends their person out. It's not really initiated by Cinch, but it can sometimes take a couple days between the time I call Cinch and the time the company comes out. The companies are fine. The cost sucks though. It's super expensive and having to pay every time I call and have somebody come out, another $200 adds up. So, we pay over $600 a year, and then it's $200 every time we call for service. And then sometimes, the issue ends up being something else, which we get charged another $200, so, it seems like a little bit of a racket.

It was very hard to understand the person that was taking our information. They had very broken English and were having trouble finding somebody to fix our problem in our area. We had some plumbing issues. We noticed it first in the dining room. It looked like our ceiling was wet and it’s been freshly painted when we bought it, so we knew there was a problem. We did a claim online but we didn't hear from Cinch. We called, and they said we never called in or sent them anything, but we know for a fact we did it within their app.

I've been covered with Cinch since 2017. For the most part, the people that they end up sending here know what they're doing and do the job. At first, the prices were very reasonable, both the yearly payment and the incident payment. But they sure are climbing. Recently, I did a claim for a washing machine downstairs. A factory authorized guy come in and fixed it supposedly at the end of July. It stopped working again so Cinch went and got somebody local. But we ended up being without the product before the contractor could get in there for a couple days. They tried getting parts and fixing it but it didn't work. They thought they had it running but it didn’t when we tried it. It turned out they had to get a new control board but that took days to get them. We had to go into another couple of days wait before they could get somebody here. That stank. The washing machine was down for three weeks.

I'd give zero if I could.

When my daughter bought a house, it came with the warranty on the different appliances. My daughter was sick at the time and I helped her through the process with Cinch. I called them and they were very good. They did what they were supposed to do and she paid her $100 deductible. Everything was nice, smooth, and easy. It was an older house, so the warranty served the purpose. If I was selling an older house, I would try and get it. It's a good thing to do. But my daughter didn't renew her warranty because it was very expensive.

When submitting service requests, I have the option to do it online or call. For example, if I have my dryer go down, I'll go in and give the make and model number if I have it. If I call Cinch, they'll send me a text to go online and do it. That's a simple one, but sometimes I would like to speak with a person and give an explanation. Another thing is I know a lot of things are shipped overseas, but sometimes I like to talk to somebody with just a little more English. On the other hand, the techs that have been sent out are knowledgeable. I had one situation where the issue wasn't fixed within the time frame and they had to come back and work on it. Other than that, everything else has been okay.

Cinch is expensive for what you're getting out of it. Two months ago, I filed a claim for my AC unit but it has yet to be resolved. If they have to send an updated correspondence, it takes 24 hours to send an email so I have to wait a day. When I call, I get transferred to multiple people. I was on the phone for a week for three hours every day trying to follow up and get ahold of the proper people. Then they just give the typical script responses and are not helpful at all. Luckily, I still was in contact with my realtor who used their channels to get ahold of them. But I still don't have air conditioning and it's been a long process.

When we first started with Cinch, they were a little slow in getting things done, but the last year has been fine. We had AC units that exploded recently and their tech was here the next day. The guy replaced the units and resolved our problem. I'd tell my friends to go with Cinch.

Recently, I had a heat going out and I had to pay 200 out of pocket. I had to do a lot of back and forth between the vendor, Cinch, and myself to finally resolve it after two months. It was a long process. For one, Cinch had to send out the equipment to the contractor. They don't let the contractor have their own or purchase their own. Then the contractor didn’t do a right job the first few times and Cinch didn't want to change contractors because they already shipped the equipment to them. So, that took a few back and forth. Finally, they picked somebody else and that ended up resolving the problem. But that was very annoying because it was hot and we had no AC in the house for two months.

The previous owner had paid for a year of Cinch when I bought my home. I've had to make a claim and my interaction submitting it was good. Also, the performance since repair has been excellent.

Submitting claims to Cinch was a little bit difficult previously but my recent experience was very seamless. The claims rep was knowledgeable and very helpful, and it was great dealing with the contractor.

Cinch gets the work done. The thing that I don't like is their deductible is too high. It went up over the past few years from 75 to 100 to 125 to 150. $100 was fair, not $150.

My son who is a Realtor thought highly of Cinch. I signed up and I've had an excellent experience. I had a claim regarding my refrigerator and my interactions with the reps were very satisfactory. I had the service people come out here twice because my ice maker was not working. Now, I feel very good about the work that was done.

The assumption is that when you have an insurance, everything is insured. But whenever I request Cinch for a service, they charge me $150 and that is frustrating. If I have some issue with my sink, my AC, and my Jacuzzi, I have to pay for three different things. Last time, I just decided to buy a garbage disposal because a garbage disposal costs less than 100. If I request a service, I'm going to pay 150. But they have helped me with AC several times, and they changed the outside AC unit for me last year. I'm grateful for that. The monthly fee is great as well and when I would make a phone call, Cinch would send me a text on the link so that I could do it online. Their website is very user-friendly and they've been wonderful.

We put in service requests with Cinch for the hot water heater that needed to be replaced and the AC unit that was freezing. The claims process was easy and the contractor they sent out was good. The warranty service is user-friendly and I like their accessibility.

Cinch has been good to me. Their tech's very friendly and efficient. Filing a claim has been effortless. I do my claims primarily by phone, but sometimes online.

Our hot water tank went recently and what I like the most is, Cinch was right on top of it. I called. It was a Friday. They had somebody here on Monday replacing the tank for me. They got really good service. The claim process was super easy. I didn't have any of those automated prompts when you're on hold doing those prompts for 10 minutes and it takes you forever to talk to somebody. This one, my call went right through to an agent. It was great. I talked to somebody. She looked at my policy and said it was covered. I had $100 deductible, which ain't nothing on a water tank. They had somebody here on Monday morning.

I only used Cinch Home Services twice but I'm going to use them more. It was a good experience. The ac unit was okay, but could be better. I called for a second time. Cinch did the second visit by another company to make sure the ac was good, for free. So, I am satisfied.

Filing claims with Cinch Home Services has improved from when it was HMS National. It seems a bit pricey right now to me because the deductibles have gone up considerably. But the speed of which things are taken care of improved. I had to call because the online payment thing wouldn't go through and that was a bit of a pain. I ended up having to call someone. It was press this, press that, and I finally got a human. The service is good.

When I bought the house, it already had a warranty and it transferred to me and that eventually turned into Cinch. I've been protected with the service for nine years. Submitting a claim has been easy with the only two claims I've had. I submitted it online like dropdown menus and such. My air conditioner was broken. The service was good. Parts were delayed, but that was no one's fault. It took like five weeks. It was really long. Almost all of July and start of August. Overall, Cinch has been easy to deal with.

The seller provided a home warranty from Cinch for a year. When I had to file a claim, it was very easy. I go on their website, I plug in my ID number and then they have pretty much like a wizard-based application online that walks me through step-by-step, things like that, and makes it real simple and easy to do. Also, they follow up really quickly. I've used it twice already and I got a callback both times within an hour or two. Then, the service comes either that day or the next day.

We need some work done on an AC unit. It's an upstairs AC unit that is leaking through the ceiling. We were concerned because the water would come through onto the landing in the house. I can't get up in the attic and it needed help quickly. We contacted Cinch Home Services and paid them two weeks ago. We've never heard anything since. They gave us a date. Sears was the name of the company. I called them. The lady was very pleasant. She passed me on to another gentleman. But they couldn't give me any satisfaction. They said they would contact Cinch and I should hear soon. That was a week ago. I got Cinch down to call me today. But we've heard nothing. The communication is very bad. They don't seem to have any service people that are easily accessible in our area. So, I'm not happy with them. We're looking for an alternative.

Cinch Home Services has been responsive when we needed things. We had a problem with our microwave. They sent a contractor out and had the microwave installed within a month. They delivered on services as promised. Everybody has been great.

Way back when I first started with Cinch Home Services, when they were HMS, I had some technician that didn't know what he was doing. But here lately, the techs have been doing good. They knew what they were doing and knowledgeable about everything.

My experience with Cinch has been excellent. We purchased a new house. The AC failed and they replaced it. The technician was off the charts and excellent. The process was a little long, though. It took four weeks.

I have found this company completely uncooperative when I called to cancel my policy. They actually tried to tell me they could not cancel my policy, persisting until I threatened to file a lawsuit. I could not log into my account, the login kept getting stuck in a loop. It even took me and a friend almost 15 minutes to find a customer service number. Then they refused to give a refund of the money they charged to my credit card the same day I finally got through to them.

We purchased a home and they already have Cinch Home Warranty. So, we already had it for almost a whole year and we were happy to renew it after our experience with our AC getting fixed. When we had difficulties with a provider or a service, they provided us with another service and was able to get our AC fixed quicker than the original timeline. We had the contract from the previous owners but when we recently renewed for next year, we received all the information regarding our coverage in the mail with all the information. We were told all of that information as well on the phone.

I paid the annual premium with 2 months free equaling $549.90 on Aug 8, 2024, and was told my next annual premium of $659.88 would be due in Sept 2025... however on Sept 11, 2024 the company proceeded to take $659.88 out of my bank account (with no notice.) I have called multiple times (9/14, 9/17, 9/20), and spoken to customer service reps named Dixie, Stephanie, Xary, Samantha, and a guy who claimed to be a manager named Kevin. Every single one of them said they were escalating my concern and requesting a refund, but according to Kevin the billing department still hasn't responded as of today, 9/20. At this point i'd like to cancel my policy, as Cinch has stolen my money, the reps aren't helpful, and for some reason my dashboard on the company website says i will be charged both $659.88/month and $659.88/year. I asked all of the reps to please change it so it shows the accurate amount (either $659/.88/yr or $54.99/month) but none of them were willing or able to do so. I am concerned that Cinch will continue to withdraw the $659.88 monthly, which would equal almost $8000 for the year, which is absolute insanity. I REVOKE AUTHORIZATION TO DRAFT FUNDS FROM MHY DEBIT CARD! I have started a dispute with my bank on the $659.88 September payment, since the reps haven't been able to process a refund despite all apologizing for the egregious mistake made by Cinch. I would also like to formally request a refund of the actual annual premium paid ($549.90) as I no longer trust the company. According to IX. Cancellation Information on page 13 of my contract, I "may cancel this agreement by telephone or in writing within 30 days of the coverage effective date (9/7/24) for a FULL refund of the contract fees paid if no claim has been made as of the date of the cancellation request."

I did a claim, and I was very happy with the way the service guy was. He made his notifications prior to coming and he followed through. He told me exactly when he was gonna be here and he was here before Cinch said he would be. They were saying it was gonna be 48 hours, but he was here in 12 hours and he had the parts on hand. I also like that he explained what happened with the unit, how often to expect it to happen, and how he could provide preventative as well. Overall, it's beneficial for people to have a home warranty when purchasing their home because they didn't buy the stuff themselves, so they don't know what condition the previous owner left things in.

I'm pretty happy with Cinch. That's why I'm still with them, and that's why I have a lot of property insured with them. Their contractors were really good. Sometimes we get some good technician and they service the same product that we might call again for. Sometimes I personally request the same company because they were very professional. So it would be easier for us to choose the contractor. I like the service with Cinch. But sometimes it could be overwhelming in terms of getting in touch with them on the phone.

I've been very happy with Cinch. The first thing they had to come in and do was the doorbell. It wasn't working and that service was totally met. Then we ran into a major plumbing issue and it was met as well. Both times, the people were very, very professional and did the job excellently. It's totally worth it.

I've had Cinch since I've been here and they have been responsive when I submit a claim. But the last time, the first contractor was not good. I called Cinch and complained and they fixed it right away. A couple of times, I've had to ask for a supervisor because I was asking for something that was not the norm and the person I spoke to had no problem with it. Sometimes, they try to talk you out of it. But once I got to the supervisor, she heard me all the way through before she told me yay or nay, and I appreciated that.

Cinch has been good. Any time that I've needed something, they've always done very well about getting something done quickly, like with outsourcing with specific vendors. For example, we needed our dishwasher fixed. Someone was out there that same week. It's been quick that things have gotten completed. The techs all have been very professional. They've done a great job with their work. I've never had a problem with them. I'm also very happy with the work that Cinch has done.

I got Cinch when I purchased my house in 2017. It's easy to use and convenient to have to be able to fix anything that goes wrong, and pretty much everything is covered, so that's a plus. Any time I've had to submit anything, I got it taken care of within a week. The only disadvantage is that you can't go with the companies that you want, or if there's a company that you typically work with or that you prefer, you can't use your own company. You have to go with whoever they choose. Typically, you have the people that you work with that you know are going to give you the correct information versus other random people that might say things are broken or can't be fixed. But it hasn't been a big issue because I haven't had anything major to fix.

My property manager's department recommended Cinch, and I'm very satisfied. Originally, they had a service person come out to check my water heater and he said it was fine, but it kept going in and out, hot water, cold water. However, it seems to be running steady now. I just hope it's not gonna give me a problem.

Everything went well. I called in on an oven that wasn't working and scheduled an appointment, then the company that Cinch contracted came in to fix it. The only thing that stood out was the company kept on sending me emails and texts, and I thought, "Okay, I got it. You're coming Thursday at 10:00 am." That doesn't have anything to do with Cinch though.

We've had one claim for our oven, and we had issues with the technicians. There was a lot of miscommunication, and they brought the wrong parts then they sent the parts somewhere it wasn't supposed to go. Other than that, we didn't have any issues with Cinch.

Cinch was the realtor's suggestion when I bought the house, and it's been good with them. The only thing I don't like is I can't go one-on-one with them to ask them any questions.

I've been having problems the past few times with the people that Cinch is designating. Last time with the AC, Cinch recommended Sears to me. They had me confirm five times that they were showing up, and the day they were showing up, they canceled. They scheduled me another week and a half out. Luckily, a rep was able to get me Elite AC after I contacted her. My son reached out on social media and complained about the service, and she contacted him. It takes him to reach out on social media for me to get somebody to call me back quickly. The social media ladies are the ones that get something done. I also had put in a warranty for replacement of my water heater but I couldn't get approval. I was without hot water for over three weeks. A lady with their social media was able to go in and get them to go ahead and approve it.

Submitting claims seems fine to do online. I had one just recently, and it went smoothly and quickly. The process is easy to understand. Following the instructions seemed to work fine with the prompts that it asked me, and both of the contractors Cinch sent, one from last November for HVAC and then another one for the refrigerator, were good. I'd recommend Cinch. It gives me peace of mind if something happens with an item.

I've had good experiences the two times I've called Cinch. When I called them once, they told me to go online, so that's what I do. They've responded well and sent competent people who resolved the claims in a timely manner, or some parts had to be ordered. I'm perfectly happy with Cinch.

The experience has been okay. But there were areas where I expected some improvement. They are all about timing. Cinch Home Services' providers don't take the time to understand what it is they are coming to do. They come here, they have their own perception of what they have to do. And they don't spend time. They don't wait for me to even look at it and give feedback.

I like the fact that I could do everything online. I like the convenience if I have claims process. If I wasn't sure, I would call the phone service and request. I had one where I requested it over the phone and Cinch Home Services assisted me with submitting that claim. And I would get a text with the contractor in their company I would be connected with. My claim only had to be submitted once and the problem was resolved. The quality is good.

Cinch Home Services listens when I tell them who you prefer to work with. Also, there are no extra out-of-pocket expenses. I started submitting my claim online. The appointment process ended up being over the phone. It was easy. It was an air conditioning claim. The guy went over every possible detail of what could be the problem. He cleaned out the system and added some coolant. It was also a wire that had come loose. He helped very well. I just had to pay my deductible.

It’s hard to contact Cinch Home Services by phone because there's no phone number where I could talk to a person. I have to fool the system to get through. Somebody called me about something and I kept using that number to call back. It was an escalation number. Nobody seemed to give a darn. It took me a month to get my air conditioning fixed in the middle of the summer. One tech showed up one day, and he did a number on my system, but never came back. He came to diagnose it and never filed a report, but he cut the wires. He did some other stuff to it. Cinch gave me another provider but he couldn't come because he was in the hospital and didn't have any other employees, which I understand. People get sick. But he said he didn't have any other employees.

I've submitted a claim online and by calling. If you call them, you wait 20 minutes or so because they keep putting you on hold and rerouting you. Or you can send an email but then they don't understand what you really need and they wanna call you back anyway. We had an air conditioning problem and three different services came out. Cinch kept saying they didn't have the report so they couldn't tell me whether the job was covered or not. It happened twice. I said if these vendors aren't getting back to them, then that was not my fault and not my problem. They said they'd send somebody else out. We told them we just wanted the unit fixed. The tech said he didn't assess jobs and he was just a technician. That was when I was done so no more Cinch for us. We are no longer Cinch members and I would never tell someone to get a home warranty unless it's paid for at closing.

Prices go up every year with the same level of service, and Cinch Home Services does not provide anything different, so I don't understand why. But I'm happy that I have them. They are there when I need them. If I call, they send a contractor. The last time a contractor came was for HVAC. I called Cinch because of the HVAC system, and they dispensed a technician. Someone said that there was mold in the system and their technician said that there wasn't, so they didn't do too much of anything, and left. When our boiler broke, they also sent a contractor came. They replaced the pieces.

We've had three problems so far. Two of them got handled. There was a problem identified with our air conditioning unit, which is working, but needs major maintenance. We were informed by Cinch Home Services they would only fix it if it breaks. We were disappointed that there wasn't more coverage for the air conditioning unit outside of having to sit here and hope it breaks so they would replace the unit or do something to it. But it is what it is. That is what the warranty says. Also, we've had two different contractors. One went very well. That was on a refrigerator. The first person Cinch sent was incompetent and made the problem worse. But Cinch sent out a second repairman and he fixed things fine.

It took five days for them to respond to send somebody out to look at my hot water heater. Then, it took them more than a week to get me an estimate. Also, they got $100 fee from me just to set up a claim, which was okay, but then they said it was $685 in additional money they wanted from me. A hot water heater is about $500 so, they wanted more than the part cost? I spent about three hours on the line with them, 33 minutes before I could talk to somebody. I tied up multiple of their lines and once they realized I wouldn't go away, they offered to pay me to do the work myself and they sent me a check for $885. I was ultimately happy but I really hope it is the only claim I have with them. I won't recommend them to anyone.
