    I've been fine with all of the technicians that have come out. However, sometimes, opening a claim is a little bit difficult or time consuming. Sometimes you can be on hold for a long time.

    AC went out in July 2021. I called Sears Home Warranty/Cross Country Warranty Services/CINCH Home Services with a Claim which they set up an appt for 4 days later. Came out and determined the fan Motor was shot. Replaced it that day with a "Universal Motor and had to rig it leaving wires protruding. Two weeks later, the Fan Blade fell off the Shaft. Another Service Call that took them 4 days to respond. Unit was still not cooling. Another Service Call Request, 4 days later they sent out a "Referee" who determined that the Fan Blade was Installed Upside Down and that it was also out of balance due to the blades been damaged. He immediately left without doing anything and said the Warranty Company would contact me. Another Tech came out about 5 days later and installed a Fan Blade that I did not discover it was the wrong part until 11 months later. Job Warranty only good for 180 days. Another Service Call Submitted on 6 July 22 and responded on 12 Jul. In spite of me telling him the Condenser Unit is throwing Hot Air out the side, he found all excuses and left. I then purchased the correct OEM Part and made another Service request. My luck, they sent the same Tech out on 18 Jul and he refused to change the Fan Blade that I purchased. Contacted an Independent AC Tech and he changed it on 20 Jul 22. Condenser Unit working like new. No need for a home Warranty Company like this when they are very slow to respond and perform substandard work and fail to address the customer's concern. Trying to get customer Support on the phone is increasingly difficult. After waiting over an hour on the phone, they just hang up on you. This happened on three different occasions on different days. I finally canceled my Contract after 8 years.

    My air conditioner is out and I had a hard time getting a hold of Cinch. The first company they tried to send was an hour and a half away. I talked to them Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday morning, they called me and said they couldn't make it. They were too busy. I spent Wednesday and Thursday trying to get ahold of Cinch to get it rescheduled to somebody else. I finally talked to somebody late this morning, and they'll be here. It's an air conditioning unit. It's 90 plus degrees here. The other thing is I’ve got two repairs, and I don’t think they listened to me on the second repair for the electric motored ventilation roof vent.

    I am a licensed real estate agent and have been using and recommending Cinch for a while. However, they have screwed a couple of my clients, so we are looking elsewhere. On several of my clients’ claims, I’ve had major issues where the technician told us one thing then in the report that Cinch relayed back to us, it was a completely different thing, and they denied the coverage.

    But on a personal level, for my home, we have appliances that are mostly not covered by other companies, and I found out that Cinch cover them. If you're good with technology or wait on hold for hours, filing a claim with them is easy. However, there's a little bit delay compared to where I come from. The warranty is also the servicer, so it’s all done in-house. Here, it’s not. So, there’s a delay of 24 to 48 hours before an appointment is even scheduled. There are a couple of technicians that I don’t like but most of them are okay. I had asked for a different contractor, and with some persuasiveness on my part, Cinch obliged.

    For the last claim we had, I thought it was a garage door opener, which is covered. But when the guy came out, he told me that it was the spring in the door, which I had to pay to have that replaced. I had to pay my deductible to get the guy to come out and tell me what I thought it was, wasn't, and I didn't get my deductible back. That's disappointing. But maybe it was my fault I didn't understand the terms.

    When I reached out to them last time, they did send Sears but it took two weeks before Sears came. So I had no AC for two weeks. I wasn’t happy with that. But when Sears came, I forgot the pain. The guy did the job quickly. I called to have my AC fixed, and then the contractor told me that it’s going to take time because they have backup. They gave me a date and they came on that date. They fixed it right away. It was amazing since it was so fast.

    I'm moving into my new residence but my profile was not set up. So I had to contact the regional director to have him fluently access the information instead of my profile, which he responded very quickly and got the profile set up within 24 hours. I was able to go ahead and process the claim online without any issues. I've only used Cinch one time within my first week and I had no issues. The contractor was a little behind because of weather. However, they communicated with me the entire time to let me know where they were at and how long it would be before they got to my residence. They were here very promptly. Once they got here, they were able to solve the issue without any problems whatsoever. Within 20 minutes, they were able to resolve the issue I was having.

    The company did replace my refrigerator, although, it was a nightmare in the beginning, the company did apologize and proceeded to complete my replacement quickly.

    Original Review: July 13, 2022

    This is a nightmare! My refrigerator stopped 8 weeks ago. They could not find a service provider and so they provided the alternative method (which is not in my contract) to find my own service provider. I paid them the deductible of $75 for the initial claim and then was made to pay another $75 to the service provider before they would reimburse me and are only reimbursing me for one of the $75 for doing the work they promised to do! My service provider sent in an estimate stating that the refrigerator could not be repaired and needed to be replaced which also stated the reason why. They have offered to settle my claim for the $75 service fee and I have heard nothing concerning replacing my refrigerator I called customer service and opted for a call back. I was called 8 hours later at 3:30 in the Am so needless to say, I missed the call which was was convenient for them. I got up the next day and called again, this time I waited 2 hours for a customer service representative from South America to tell me that I had to pay to have another service provider give an estimate of repair and that the refrigerator would not be replaced I had to keep looking for a service provider to fix it, which is definitely a breach of my home warranty contract! Thank God my father had a refrigerator in his garage that we are using. This is definitely bordering fraud. Please do your research before paying for these services! I am contacting the Attorney Generals office in my state to file a formal complaint.

    For the most part, we like Cinch. We've had a mixed bag of claims support. The support that we've gotten on the HVAC has been wonderful but some of the refrigerator claims have not been. Then, we had a washing machine claim that was disastrous. The technician said they worked on the machine and then called it in, which wasn't true. We also had our dishwasher out for a very long time. Originally, there was a decision to repair it, which was a bad decision because it needed five parts and four of the five showed up. For the recent AC claim, it was good. The techs had us up and running really quickly. They were good.

    I am looking into renewing Cinch because I do like it. I've been covered since November of last year. They've been really responsive and they're really clear on what they cover. There's good follow-through. If they say they cover something, they do. And if they say they don't cover part of a bill, they've already explained to you why they don't cover a part of a bill.

    When I had to schedule a service, I went to their website, and it was pretty straightforward. They have dropdown menus. You choose what your problem is and then I got contacted by a provider within a couple of hours to schedule a call. A plumber was assigned, and I'm assuming they have a contract with Cinch and they have to be vetted. I got a confirmation and notification of the name of the plumber that came out. I googled them, and they had really good reviews. Overall, my experience has been clear and supportive.

    We've been very pleased with Cinch. The people who've come out have been very knowledgeable. They answered my husband's questions. We had a problem with a dishwasher part but that was because parts weren't available and was not the repairman's fault. He came back, did the work, and we were very pleased. There is one part that we didn't have any problem with the repair people. But when we would call, they would say they would be here at a certain time. We were sitting here, waiting, but they never came. I called and found out they'd never had us in their computer. That has happened twice. It always happened when the person who was answering had a very thick accent. They would say, "I don't see that you were scheduled." We had to reschedule again. One time, it took two reschedulings to get a repairman out here. We were very disappointed in that. But when they came, they did wonderful work.

    It was a very long wait to file a claim with Cinch. It was one hour to get somebody on the line. When you call for information and wait one hour to talk to a live person, this is not acceptable. It should be 15 minutes at the most. Also sometimes, people don’t speak clear English and sometimes, they don't understand you completely. They also don't have authority to make decisions. There is an authorization department, and there is a call line. They can’t answer any questions. They’re just saying, “We’re gonna pass your information and you need to wait.” But sometimes, you need to get answer faster.

    Some of the vendors are professional. Sears doesn't always have good technicians who are knowledgeable, but at least they’re on time. They come and will investigate the problem. But a lot of vendors are not keeping their words and not professional. I was trying to schedule appointments for garbage disposal to replace it for weeks. It was a nightmare because they don't pick up the phone. If you call them on the phone, it goes right to the voicemail. If you text them, they respond to you when they want to. I wasn't too happy about one of the companies that came out. I also kept having one issue right now with the refrigerator claim. They scheduled an appointment with me and the technician was supposed to arrive. But I got a quote from them saying that I needed to schedule appointment directly with the company. That’s a gap for me. If they can’t schedule it, then they should call directly. But they’re trying to do it through their system.

    I schedule appointment through a vendor and if I call them, they identify my information by my cell phone number. I scheduled the appointment on time, and it was good for me. But they did not show up. This is a rental property and I told the tenant they needed to be at home on that time so they would take time from working. I was trying to confirm the appointment and I called the vendor in the morning to ask if they were coming that day. They answered they could not come because the technician did not verify the appointment. I tried to schedule that appointment three times, and it got cancelled. I told the vendor I was not gonna deal with their company anymore. I called Cinch and asked if they could give me another provider. They said somebody was gonna call me later on that day. Then I got a text message saying it was gonna be 24 to 48 hours. It was already three days, and I didn’t still get a new vendor.

    I love TotalProtect, but I'm just starting back with Cinch and my warranty was effective beginning June. I did have a service request and they said, "Well, your service has lapsed." Legally, if your service begins June 1, that should be what's honored and it was not. So, I'm not happy. TotalProtect took good care of me. I'm gonna back out of Cinch because of that. I had moved into my dream home and within a couple of months, the air conditioning needed replacing and TotalProtect replaced it. I take excellent care of my home and I needed some servicing done, and Cinch had a gentleman called. I could barely understand what he was saying. I just got back with them and they can't fix the problem because this has been going on.

    I was like, "Well, I live in South Louisiana. I couldn't have been making it if it was going on that much." Plus, there is a preexisting condition clause in that contract that I read with a fine tooth comb. It said that they would also take care of preexisting conditions. The first person who was to come out to my home was a specific contractor. He was supposed to come on a Tuesday. So, he wanted to call me Monday and say he never got a service contract from Cinch. He didn't have my number although I did call him the night we made that arrangement.

    I called Cinch and said, "Why was this changed to Sears?" The young lady didn't even know why it was changed to Sears. Then when Sears came out, there was a very young man who said, "Well, I'm not even sure I want to go up there." He didn't really want to go in my attic. He was in my attic for two minutes and he said, "It's very hot." People who work ACs know that the attic is going to be hot.

    I got an email receipt saying that I paid for a certain service and I didn't. It had something that was supposedly my signature. I have clearly put an email, "This is not my signature." It's unethical and it's illegal, and Sears did that. They weren't going to do the work. So at that point, I decided to back out and go with another company because I love my home and I like it to be protected. Cinch left a sour taste in my mouth, and I'm a very happy person. That was a horrible experience.

    Cinch replaced the two ACS I had about a year ago. However, they made things difficult because they gave me the cash right out for that one to replace it. For the other one, I had to buy it then I sent the bill and they replaced it. For my washer and dryer, they repaired several times. I had a closet one - dryer on top, washer on the bottom - and they replaced it with a new one. That only lasted about two years. They came and replaced it again without any problems. For my dishwasher, they wanted to repair the seal but I was recommended to buy a different one, so they gave me a percentage toward the new one.

    The technicians are very good. Recently, they did my microwave door. I had a low profile microwave and it was white. For some reason, the door cracked apart. The guy called me and took the serial number. I sent them a picture of it. They also took the model number, and within two weeks, he called me and said I was going to receive the door. The door came in and the guy scheduled time to come and install it. For the 40 something dollars it cost me a month, Cinch is worth having.

    We had used Cinch a couple of times for some plumbing issues and we were very satisfied. But initially, I didn't find them very helpful when I had some appliance issues. You used to file a claim and then they would give you the name of someone to call, and you had to call and set up an appointment. But now, what they do is better. You file a claim and they assign someone to come out after you pay your deductible.

    The contractors have been very good now. In the experience that I had five years ago, the people were not very good. When I had an appliance issue, Cinch sent me to someone that didn't speak any English, which I had a problem with. So I eventually went somewhere else. I almost dropped the service at that time. Also, one of the plumbers that came here put me off for four weeks before he said he could get to me.

    Updated on 08/19/2022: Worst service ever! We should be able to give no stars, and this warranty company is one of them. My AC went out in June after sending 4 techs that didn't fix the issue, the last tech reported my coil needed replacing. Lies after lies from the company reporting parts has been shipped, delivered, oh it really was shipped working on it, shipped again, delivered again. We are now in August still no repairs. Reported them to BBB, which is no help at all, they make the same excuses. Also I am going to report them to the Attorney General for my state. Tried cancelling and they had the nerve to say I had a balance, for services they don't even provide. Also kept transferring me to different department for cancelation either they couldn't do it, or had to send me someone else. When transferred the person would act like they can't hear you, and you would have to hang up and try again. So clearly this company likes playing games when it comes to canceling service. I am going to report them to as many agencies as I can because what they are doing is just

    Original Review:

    Detail Information:

    Date of transaction - 6/7/2022

    What the business committed to provide: Service repairs on my AC unit.

    What's the nature of the dispute: No repairs completed, AC unit has been down since early June. There were 3 technicians sent out: 1st could not repair the type of AC installed, 2nd stopped leak but not the actual problem, and the 3rd did nothing but made sure there were no leaks. Reported the AC should work but may need the coil replaced. After leaving the AC never worked and informed the technician and warranty company. Was informed that a replacement part had to be approved. Weeks later was informed item was shipped and delivered to the technical on June 24th. Technican confirmed they received no parts, and called back the warranty company who now reported there was no shipment and the part was no longer available.

    So for 2 weeks they lied about a shipment that never took place. Spoke with another representative on July 5th who now reports that the whole unit would need to be replace and should be approved within 2 days. Received an email from the technical (Mechanical Brothers LLC) that they still have not heard from the warranty company about the replace as of today 7/8/2022.

    Whether or not the business has tried to resolve the problem: I have contacted the business every week since the issue started, with no repairs completed and no parts shipped. The business continues to lie about contacting the technician, claimed parts were shipped and delivered on June 24th. Technician confirms they received no parts, them the warrant company reported the part was discontinued and they will be in contact with the technician to replace the inside unit. The technician has confirmed today that they still have not received any updates from the warranty company. Called the warranty company back today 7/8/2022 and they are reporting approval for parts still have not been completed and it will take another 48 before I receive a breakdown of what they will pay for and what I will have to pay for.

    Our fridge stopped working a month ago.
    We have insurance through Cinch home services so they are supposed to fix any major appliance that breaks, or replace it if not fixable. About 3 days after they were contacted they sent a repairman out who was unable to fix the fridge because it needed a new compressor. It was a Monday and we were told the part should arrive that Friday. They blew us off saying they were waiting for the part to arrive but it turns out they could have had the part any time since it was available locally, but they were holding out for the cheapest one possible and didn'tcare how long we had to wait.
    Despite multiple calls and messages trying to get any info from them it was 3 weeks later before we heard back. They scheduled an appointment for Saturday July 2nd then were no call no show. Then they said someone would come out Tuesday but again, no call no show. Turns out they were making these appointments all the while not even having the compressor !
    I am pregnant and have small children at home for the summer. We have been without a working fridge for AN ENTIRE MONTH and they don't give a damn. No sympathy whatsoever, no sense of urgency. There has been no popsicles or milk for the kids' cereal, no cream for coffee, we've been eating like we're camping and let me tell you it's getting old **.
    Finally yesterday a repairman showed up 45 minutes late. He ended up staying until 11 pm and didn't even finish the job. He was supposed to return today at 5 pm and showed up to our house at 7:30 when we were all going to bed, and despite how desperately i want it fixed i get up at 2 am for work and we were definitely not going to wait up until 11 pm for him again.
    He said he would call tomorrow turns out he didn't even have a phone number for us.
    This company has a track record of being awful. When our microwave broke they made us wait 4 weeks for repair before deciding to just cut a check for a new one. At least we had the stove and oven then but there is no backup for the refrigerator. We aren't going to fill a cooler with ice 4 times a day indefinitely.

    We have to deal with them because they our the company our landlord uses but if I had a choice I would run the other way fast.

    After 15 years with Cinch, I submitted a claim and it took them four months to find a technician to fix my problem. But they refunded all my money and apologized. The second time I used them, the technician showed up on Sunday. He spent the day working and had everything fixed before he left. So, the experience depends on what you're looking for, what you need fixed, whether they have somebody handy to do it, or nearby to do it, or whether they have to bring somebody from 200 miles away to do it. I recently contacted them when my air conditioner quit and the techs showed up the same day I called in. They had it repaired in 45 minutes.

    Cinch has also sent out the tech twice now for my garage door opener and still haven't gotten it fixed. So, if he doesn't get it fixed the next time he comes out, Cinch will go ahead and just replace it. I'm in Middle Georgia, and the only person they've got that works on garage door openers is in northern Georgia. So, it's a two-and-a-half-hour drive for him to drive down here.

    Whenever I'd have claims, I would call the customer number that they gave us and the submission process has been very easy. Then, I usually get a email telling me what company they've given the job to, an email from the technician the day before it comes out, and a phone call two or three hours before he's due to arrive. I liked Cinch and I'd tell my friends to go ahead and get it for their home.

    We filed a claim on the refrigerator back in March. The freezer on my Kenmore Refrigerator just stopped working. I filed a claim with what I thought was Sears Home Services Plus. Later I found out that the company is actually Cinch Home Services. I felt like that was misleading. Well they did come out and the technician stated that he could not find anything wrong. He unplugged and plugged it back up than it began working. Well the refrigerator stopped working again on June 12th. The technician came out promptly I may add. He said that the fan was not working and it had to be ordered. I understood that and I was okay with it taking a week. That is understandable. So the part came and the tech came back out on the 23rd of June. Now that part did not solve the problem. So my next service date is July 20 and that is if the part is available. So my family and I have gotten sick trying to keep some food items cool using a cooler. So we have been without a proper way to store food for nearly a month already and I will not get serviced again until July 20th. This is unexceptable.

It was within a matter of minutes that he called me back. He came out the next morning and it was great. The same thing with the HVAC. But it didn’t get fixed that fast, only because there were parts that needed to be ordered.

    I'm really glad that we got the home warranty, and I'm glad that Cinch has been very good to us.

    What makes them different is that you pay Cinch the deductible directly upfront. For this reason the companies they send 1. Have no incentive to please the customer by actually doing the job or 2. Following through. On both my AC and dishwasher both companies flat out lied about the cause of the problem and what they did. Both were there less than 10 minutes and literally did nothing. They both gave Cinch a completely inaccurate assessment and Cinch merely took their word for it which was extremely convenient for Cinch and leads me to believe their system benefits from this very unfortunate dynamic. I was referred to Cinch by my mortgage company Freedom Mortgage who partnered with them. I left a good warranty company on the basis that Cinch offered so many more services. It’s been months and I have no working dishwasher or AC. In fact they sent a tech for my dishwasher who actually removed a part. When I never heard back from them Cinch tried to reach them and couldn’t. They assigned a different company who took one look and left mentioning the missing part. Without asking me for an explanation they told Cinch I had misused the dishwasher. I told Cinch their first tech had been the one to remove the part. Even with everything documented Cinch STILL denied. With the AC they came out and did literally nothing yet claimed my filter was dirty when they never even looked at it. Once again Cinch took their lie as truth. There’s no winning with this dishonest company and their warranty is worthless. I even had their best platinum warranty.

They’ve been good other than I thought the plumbing was covered and it wasn’t. But it’s no big deal. They got it done promptly. The only thing I don’t like is they want you to do the deductible and punch all your numbers at the time of call. You don't know who's got access to that stuff and I have a hard time with that.

    I thought it was going to be one of these things where I was going to have to find a warranty company and then pay for it and then be reimbursed. But all of that stuff was taken care of for me. So, whatever Cinch does on the front-end to make sure that you're taken care of for people who either opt to have a home warranty put in place or negotiate to have a home warranty put in place, they should keep it up. The experience was a cinch. It was an absolute cakewalk.

    Then, I got this information in the mail seven business days after I had closed and had started living in my home and all of it was the outlining work from my policy, what was covered and how to go about a claim. It was unbelievable how easy everything was. It baffled me because if it's something that has to be done on my behalf, where it's to my benefit, it's always a headache. It's something where you have to sit on hold for eight hours. Then, if somebody picks up, hopefully, they'll be able to get your policy enacted before the end of the year in a certain way. That's just my luck and how everything with larger expenses go with me. It's a constant headache. But this was completely tended to and all done right away. It was remarkable. Also, I received a phone call stating that I was going to receive an information packet and all those other things. They walked through quickly what I could file a claim under.

    I highly recommend Cinch to anybody who is considering it. Even if you buy a house and you're a little leery and you couldn't get it, the premium was only $400 and some change for the entire year. When we walk into it, especially the first-time homebuyer, it's a little bit of a daunting experience. But if something goes wrong, it's covered by Cinch. If my refrigerator blows out or if my stove blows up in the kitchen, it's covered. That's nice to know, especially after you drop $58,000 and you're reeling from that expense. All I got to do is come up with $100, which, I could probably beg for change or pick up loose change in the City of Milwaukee and probably find that in less than a day. I've gotten a lot of good night's sleep because of it.

    An administrator from Cinch reached out, listened to the problem, researched and found a solution. They were helpful and communicated regularly until the issue was resolved.

    Original Review: June 16, 2022

    It feels like a "bait-and-switch" scheme. When it comes to paying for claims, they will come up with "contract" reasons for why they won't pay. I bought their VIP extended coverage and they still would not pay for a repair. They also sent a repair person who was not familiar with my "brand" of HVAC, then would not refund the service charge. Go elsewhere, save your money.

    I came home one day and there was ice around the outside AC unit. I put in a ticket and within an hour, someone was here to look at it. He happened to receive the ticket and was in the area and was able to come by very quickly. He took a look at it, and diagnosed and fixed the issue. He did everything that day. He even replaced some of the insulation on the pipe and put caps back on where they had come off. So, he did an outstanding job. The claims process with Cinch was super easy and I would recommend it to others. Overall, I've had generally good experiences. So, I put in tickets all the time.

    The only drawback with Cinch is that we have to file the claim and they would send the service person. That service person would determine whether we have a claim and what they would cover, which has to be okayed by Cinch and they would send a technician. We had had our air conditioner and furnace serviced by our own people that we have come out twice a year and they told us the problem. We filed a claim with Cinch and they had a person come out and confirm what’s wrong with it. The person had to file with Cinch and they sent Pro Source out who did the actual replacement. We were without air conditioning for three weeks. It was the same thing for our hot water. It's not a quick process. But money-wise, I understand why it takes a little bit.

    Also, my washer had to be replaced. Cinch gave us a cash option or replacing the washer but the washer they were gonna use to replace my washer wasn’t available. And that was an $1,100 washer and they gave me $650 in cash. We went and got our own washer, but had to pay for the other half because they didn’t have it in stock. There are pluses and minuses to Cinch but we keep it because we bought an older home and a lot of the appliances were older. In the long run, it would be worth it.

    Cinch worked out good. I called them and they got the claim going, and they stuck with it. They would get someone to come out and do the work and I would pay my deductible. They weren’t overly high. I used to pay $40 a month and it went up to 45. Now, I pay $50 a month. I need to call Cinch right now. They’ll come out and do your maintenance free. So, if something is wrong or tearing up or something went, the tech will report it and you can get it serviced. Or the maintenance person will set up an appointment to do that. Then you pay your deductible and get that done. They're trying to help you before something goes and they have a record too if something's allowed and know that it was not.

    One time, my husband had the plumbing service doing something here and the guy was saying he could get in there. I said that I have to call up the maintenance service. When I called, they said that the plumbing service was not on their list, but they’re sure they do good service. Whoever Cinch is sending out to your house, they know.

    I have encountered some problems within the last couple of years since COVID though. Cinch has a hard time getting people to come to Forest now. We are out some of the ones who's on their list. I’m 42 miles from Jackson. It’s a little old town. So, sometimes, the contractors can't come. But I like that if Cinch can't get anybody to come out, they let the customer get someone. They just don’t say they can’t. All the contractor has got to do is turn in their description, what they did and how they did. They go through that process and how much it was, and I send it in and Cinch refunds me because you will have to pay the person, whatever they charge right then.

    I know one business that it’s just certain things, but I was able to ask them would they come and do it. They have to go by these steps with this warranty and they understood it because they were familiar with this. I had to do my deductible but I got my refund. Cinch will stick with it and ask you if the person came, and you can call them back. The only part I don't like is that it’s hard to get to the right person. It's automated. I like to talk to people. I can do it and text and get online, but I don't like that. But as long as Cinch keeps doing what they are doing, I'm good.

The repair guy couldn't repair it so they offered me a replacement, a similar kind, or they gave me the funds for the value so I took the funds. The process was good ‘cause they kept me apprised, reminding me, because it took me a while to make a decision as to what I wanted to do. They were on point.

    I love Cinch. If anything happens, they would do everything they can to fix things. They live by a philosophy, fix it or replace it. And every time, they’ve either fixed it or replaced it. My refrigerator just got replaced. According to the guy’s evaluation, the size that I wanted was a commercial size, which is what I had. So, I had to take the cash and add money to it to buy a new one. But it worked out okay. I’ve been recommending Cinch to my friends. They are doing a good job. I’ve been with them since 2017 and I’ve not had any issues. I've had very good service.

    Submitting the claim online with Cinch was no problem. But they're not available to talk to and you get a computer. What they did automatic was send me the people I was supposed to call for my two claims. One claim is for the air conditioner and that was the worst. It took forever to get somebody on the phone. This started on May 29 and I'm still dealing with it. My sister lives in the home where the air conditioning problem is and she doesn't have air. Today, I got a message from a lady that they need more money for whatever reason and she wanted me to call her back. I've been trying to call her back for the last 20 minutes and the line is continually busy. It's just frustrating. I called the Cinch customer service number yesterday. You go through the system and it ends up putting you through to the air conditioning company. It was all computerized and I didn't even have an option to talk to anybody. I'm not really happy.

    I had one problem where my renter's washing machine went out and the service company wasn't coordinating the appointment time. I called Cinch and they gave me another company immediately and coordinated with me and my renter. The repair guys had to order the parts and the parts came directly to the house. As soon as the parts came in, they were instructed to call for an appointment.

    I had an air conditioning company who was scamming and Cinch was waiting to approve of the tech's estimate. What they wanted to do was, they were claiming that the air handler in the attic was unlevel. Meanwhile, I had gotten a friend of mine, who went up to the attic and checked out the system and what was broken was the PVC that comes out of the air handler. Cinch immediately denied that man's claim. I haven't had any problems with them. I was being very honest about the whole scenario and they understood. Cinch is good and I have no problems with them. They're awesome. And it's kind of sad.

    I heard of Cinch because a girlfriend of mine told me that I should get a maintenance contract. But when I came to Ohio, the Realtor told me that I could buy the maintenance agreement when I purchase the house. I didn't know that. There's a lot of different options. It's not just putting a maintenance agreement on your house. I have three different policies. Two rental houses and the house that I'm living in now.

    I would recommend that everybody who buys a house should have this kind of contract. Even if you have an inspection and they do an overall inspection because you don't know what you're buying. When I did the overall inspection, the inspector didn't catch a problem on the house. The electrician caught it when he had to do a repair that the inspection found but there was another problem that nobody caught. You should have plan A, plan B, plan C. Because when you're buying a house, you don't know everything that is possibly wrong and it might not come up at the present time. It just happens that way. Other than, I really hope that more people see the importance in this. I didn't know about it for years.

    I had some issues with my upstairs air conditioner unit. So, I had someone come out yesterday. He could not fix the problem. He had to get a part. So, he’s gonna come back in two weeks to hopefully fix it. But he also performed another service, that just cost me an additional amount. It was cleaning up the coils. He said it wasn't covered by deductible so I had to pay for that. Other than that, it’s being fixed. It’s still in the process.

    The claim process with Cinch Home Services is usually easy. The only thing is sometimes, if I don’t know the serial number that it’s asking for, it’s hard to complete my request.

    When I called the number for Cinch, I haven't even spoken with anyone and the first thing that it was telling me to do was pay money. And then after making the payment, I kept trying to call in and speak to someone and I was never able to get through. But they did refer me to someone and I received an email with a number to call. The service line is not set up where you can speak to anyone. It's all computer-based. I found that during the emergency that I was having, my water would not shut off and I couldn't even figure out how to shut it off, and I was calling trying to figure out what to do.

    When I called the person, she said that no one was available. They wouldn't have anyone come out until the next morning. Which was fine and dandy. I scheduled the appointment and I told them that at that point, I was just trying to figure out how to turn my main water off. But I still need somebody to come out and I needed whatever was broken to be fixed. And the guy was able to fix it. It looked like it was something inside the wall. It was my master bedroom shower. The hot, cold and on, off is all on one handle. When I bought the home, it was always heavy to turn it. But I didn't think that there anything wrong with it. It's Kohler, which is somewhat of an expensive brand to me. So I figured it was just heavy. It was a better quality. When the guy replaced it, I told him that I almost broke my wrist because turning it went so lightly. So, it was probably due.

    The repair guy was awesome. I loved him. He was nice and very pleasing, and he explained everything. I sat right there on my tub and we just talked. He showed me what the issue was and fixed it. He was able to put my pieces back on. That portion of it was awesome. Who Cinch sent came out and I didn't have any issues. I wasn't expecting to pay 160. I've heard people say that theirs is priced $75, maybe about 100. But it just depends on the plan that you choose. My sister probably chose the lowest one that doesn't cover so many other things. I'm very grateful for what I have. The first part of it was painful but once the payment was made, Cinch accepted the payment and automatically sent someone that I could call to schedule. Everything worked out. It was so perfect.

    Cinch has too much fine prints, which I don't appreciate. It should be straightforward. Their services have not been bad so far but there is a catch. When I called somebody for plumbing, which I have for five times, they sent these plumbing companies. I never had a problem before. But one plumber showed up and told me that he had to tear up the drywall in my basement to look at all the plumbing, just to figure out how the plumbing was done first. If I was dumb, I would have said that I need this problem to be solved and he would have done it. But it would not have been covered under warranty and he would have charged me. These guys come out for dirt cheap but if they see something that they can make more money off of, they go for it, regardless if it's related to this matter or not.

    The plumber even wrote in his report some weird, wacky reasons. Next time, if I call, they would say, “Well, we told you so.” We told you so would equal to more money. Either I have to cough up money to get them to do the work, or I'm left with basically their report. The same thing happened with the garage door. The guy came in and I told him that I couldn’t close the door. I was just standing there and I saw what he did. He bent down, tilted the sensor and it worked. It was as simple as that, less than one minute of fixing. But in his report, he wrote down a whole lot of things, like springs had to be changed.

    When I bought this house about a year and a half ago, all four springs were changed. The motor was changed. They are brand new items, but he wrote in his report that these things have to change in order for this problem not to happen anymore. What they're doing is stealing. I do not like that when they come out, they can literally lie about anything they want and write it in the report.

    I asked for two plumbing companies not to ever come back here again because I know what they were gonna do. They were not going to fix the problem. And I still have a problem with my basement. I cannot flush the toilet and the water, every once in a while, is intermittent. The water comes back up in either my bathtub or the toilet doesn't flush completely. Even though we don't use it. So, it needs to be snaked to open it up but the repair guys don't want to put the time or effort into this. The ball is being dropped with Cinch not being strict enough with these companies. Maybe they do know. Maybe this is a way for the contractors to make money. Instead of $120, now it's $130 that they charge me with each call that I make. They left the gate open for the contractors to come in and charge more to the customers, which is not part of the contract.

    I did not get this contract because of my garage door nor to replace my washer or dryer, microwave. These things are not a big deal. I got it mainly for AC and Heating. Now, they told me they either fix my AC and Heating if something ever happens, or they will replace it. Now, if something happens, they can no longer fix it after 20 years of use of my machine. The units are outside. They're pretty old. If they don't replace it, I'm out of luck. They're gonna show me some sort of fine print and say they can only replace so and so. The gas and the Freon, I have to pay for it. That's not right. I got the warranty to be covered, just like a car insurance. If I get into an accident, my car is totaled, I don't care about this and that. I just want my car either replaced or give me my money.

    I live in a condominium in Alexandria, VA and have Cinch Home Services insurance for my home equipment. I recently noticed my water heater wasn't working properly. The water temperature would only get up to 96 degrees and it was also leaking. I contacted customer service and they sent a technician out to take a look. The technician didn't even report the main problem, which was that the water heater wasn't working. The technician came back a second time and seemed more interested in finding something wrong with my heater that wasn't covered by the insurance. He looked at the water pressure and as I expected a few days later the insurance declined my claim, citing "the water pressure was too high." This was not true because our HOA checked and the water pressure in our complex is fine.

    I contacted customer service again to try and escalate the issue to a more senior manager but they refused, saying that a "decision has already been made." Overall, I have been extremely disappointed with Cinch Home Services insurance and would not recommend them to anyone. Their customer service is terrible and they don't seem to care about their customers. All they care about is finding ways to deny claims.

I don't feel like I had to pay that $400. Whoever they had, these plumbing people, they came out twice, didn't solve the problem. They told me that it needed to be dug out from outside, which wasn't the problem. They told Cinch that the problem needed to be taken care of from outside. So, I called another plumbing company myself, and they solved the problem and I haven't had that problem.

    The second claim I had is with my washer and dryer. They came out, they took care of the dryer. The washing machine, whoever Cinch called to come out here, it has been two weeks. They kept sending me text messages saying that they don't have a technician to come out. And they have canceled three times on my appointment. So, I called them this morning because I got a text saying last night that they don't have a technician to come out, because the tech was supposed to come out today.

    I called Cinch. I told them this is the third time that it has been canceled for the technician to come out and look at the washer. I asked them if they could just give me a washing machine rather than make me wait on these technicians to come out, and she told me that she couldn't because it had to be looked at and told what the problem is with the washer. The washer is old. It has been in this house forever. It has rust inside. I'm still waiting on a technician to come out so that they can look at this washer. I have to keep going to the laundromat to wash. What is the point of me having this insurance and nothing is getting taken care of? I'm paying my $100 for my deductible, but nothing's getting taken care of.

    I was very pleased with Cinch except for one area. When something breaks down in your house, it never breaks down during business hours. When our furnace went out on New Year's Eve, trying to reach a live person to talk to was next to impossible. You've got to be able to get ahold of them 24/7. We were gonna go below zero for our temperature here in Wisconsin that night and we got no furnace. Other than that, Cinch responded very quickly. They got somebody to fix the furnace and we were very pleased.

    I called Cinch to submit a claim and they dealt with everything on the phone. They had a furnace repair place call me up within 20 minutes and made arrangements to come right out.

    Their response is very good. I've also had pretty good luck with technicians. But sometimes it's a little bit difficult to communicate with Cinch on issues either verbally or on the internet. For instance, I had a ceiling fan go bad and it ended up being a remote control issue. The little receiver unit that's inside the fan went bad and they wouldn't cover it. It's a $20 part. It's not my fault it's the remote control of the ceiling fan.

    Before it was Cinch, TotalProtect's services part was very iffy. We had a situation where the primary hot water heater broke and it took about two months to get it fixed. I went through some agonizing process there to get this thing replaced. I had a dryer go out a couple of years ago and that was when Cinch bought the company, and the replacement process was very smooth and satisfactory. It went very well.

    The first claim I had with Cinch was the dryer issue and it went very well. The only problem was that we had a Sears dryer and it was about 14 years old. Most things can get replaced, but not everything and this was an electronic device that Sears no longer offered. It took them about a month to determine that. When Cinch heard that they couldn't find a part, they approved a replacement of a new dryer. I went and purchased a dryer. Since Cinch has taken over from TotalProtect, the service has been outstanding. Right now, something is broken and I'm getting emails from Cinch telling me what they're doing and following up. This would never have happened with TotalProtect. Cinch is a great improvement over TotalProtect.

    The customer service on my initial five calls was horrible. They need to have someone that speaks English fluently, or that they’re easier to understand. Also, they have a lot of automated things. I understand, this day and age, so many homeowners, so many calls. It’s hard to hire enough people to cover all the calls, so you have automated systems to help things run more fluently. And I support that. It's just when a homeowner’s in a predicament, and they need to tell somebody information, and the waiting time is 37 minutes, by the time you get to talk to somebody, your blood pressure is up 120 points. And you can’t understand what they’re saying, and they can’t comprehend what you’re saying. So, that puts you into another realm.

    I have an electrical issue right now at my house. I have a contractor coming over. And depending on what the contractor finds this afternoon will determine whether I file another claim or not. And on a claim, Cinch told me that I get X amount of dollars back after the claim has been filed and finished, and all the paperwork has been done. And that has been done for two months, and I haven’t heard anything from Cinch.

    My first experience with them, the end result was good. Getting there took a little professional finagling. But they did their job. As a homeowner, when the insurance company needs to do those things, it can get frustrating. But homeowners don't understand that just because they're in a hard place, that everybody else is in a hard place. They wanted me to front the money for the repairs. And I turned in my receipts. I didn't have to do that. They got the check. It was three weeks after everything was going on. So, it took a little long. But Glenn was the supervisor. And the lady right under him was a big help. She was awesome.

    She worked her butt off. She did everything she could. Certain decisions had to be made and approved, and she didn't have that clearance. She emailed, texted, called me, had me send her pictures. So, we might not be able to speak verbally over the phone, but at the same time, she was able to adapt to the situation and still push forward. And in that point of the customer service, that goes a long way.

They're telling me one thing and I'm telling them another thing. My furnace had been bad ever since last year. They said, "Well, it's April now, and everybody's having their air condition done. So you have to do that next time when it gets to fall." So I had to wait until fall came. When fall came, they sent different people out here and some of them didn't show up. I couldn't get my money back, because they said, "Well, somebody has already been here. And once they come to your house, you can't get your money back." I said, "Yeah but the tech didn't do anything". They told me, "Well, we'll have to send you somebody else out." That somebody else said, "We do not go up under the house". But that's where my furnace is.

    Cinch sent me somebody else but it took them so long to replace things until they finally got it right. So, I was cold for a whole month.

But then he called Ecodry, which I've had on several occasions. Ecodry came in and took out one wall between the toilet and the iron washer. They cleared everything. So everything was great.

    The guys from Ecodry were really good. But they left a toilet part in the living room and they didn't take away any of the trash outside. So if I have to have somebody come out the next time, I would prefer that they ask me what company I need if they've got to do demolition because I would rather go with Valleywide. They're a lot better. But Ecodry does do the job. But right now, they put duct tape up that pulled all the finish off, and the door jams. So they're still that way. I sent a message to the guy the other day and said, "Did you forget about coming back and doing all the trim?" He said, "Yes, I did." Because the last time I saw him was in early February.

    I had one guy come out a couple of years ago and I paid my $125. But because he had to go up to Home Depot right up the street, he asked us to close off the waterline that was leaking and he charged me for those. But he was technically not supposed to do that.

However, when you buy the warranty, make sure you get a number of the local representative because that helps. A lot of times, Cinch does not approve your claim and you may have to argue until you get your claim approved. And having that number to the local representative is a huge help. Once that's all through with, it's very easy. Cinch takes it and runs with it and you get your issue fixed.

    Cinch is a good service so far. I've only had one claim submitted and completed, and it was fairly easy to do the claim online. The Cinch website is user-friendly for the most part. For the second one, I'm trying to contact somebody to get a refund because I ended up canceling the service. I tried to do a contact online and contact somebody, but that's not been very easy.

    I have had some claims and repairs. The most recent was a plumbing issue. It was all right. I had a backed up lateral line, so the basement flooded with excrement and things. The company that came out to fix the line couldn't fully get all the stuff out of the line. Enough that it worked, but still not enough where it won't happen again, because there are still stuff in the line. And Cinch wouldn't pay for it to be fully fixed. So, I didn't like that very much. But I can put in a new claim and try to have it remedied.

    I like Cinch for the most part. The only frustrating thing is, oftentimes, a company will charge you extra from what Cinch does. So, I pay $100 through Cinch. And the company will say, “Oh, we're gonna need 1,200 more dollars from you,” or, “We're gonna need 300 more dollars from you.” And that's frustrating. The positive stuff is that when I call the line, they seem to care and help and get people out there as soon as they can, which is nice. I've heard horror stories from other companies about other companies that would say they would fix stuff, but they would find one speck of rust, so they wouldn't. But Cinch has done a bunch of claims for me well, so I like that.

    Trying to get under control the extra costs from companies would be nice. For instance, one company said they wanted to charge me $1,200 extra to install a furnace. So, I called Cinch and said, “I don't want them. Can you please give me somebody else?” And they did, which was nice. And that company was, “Wow. They are totally ripping you off. We'll only charge you 200 extra.” So, it's all these extra. It’s lame. But they work with me to help get that down.

    I used Cinch Home Services and it seemed like a reasonable thing. I have a fixed income. So, this is a way to curb some of that. What's difficult is knowing who is coming and what their reputation is. Cinch just sends somebody. So, I wouldn't know who they sent and their experience. Someone shows up at my door and that's hard because I'd like to know who's coming. This guy just showed up and I didn't even know the name of his company. It was on his truck.

    I wasn't getting hot air in one of my rooms and the one guy who came to repair said to get new filters. So, I got new ones, but I still didn't get any hot air in this room. And he said, "Well, the furnace works," and that was all he had to do. He just had to make sure the furnace works. That's a problem because if I have a furnace and it's supposed to work, it's supposed to heat the house. But it didn't. It's a two-story house. It's on the first floor. For the furnace, I called him to come back out but he said no. He called the company and said, "I've already done everything mechanical for this furnace. So, there's no reason for me to go back." So, he never came. He told me Cinch wouldn't cover it. He made a decision and it was like he was working for them, not me. But they're both working for me because I'm paying for the service.

    I've had good people come. They were very accommodating. But I don't understand what the last person who came did and I still don't understand it. I have a double oven. Both ovens did not heat, so I called them. One guy came and he said it was the igniter in both. It's gas, so you needed an igniter in both. And he told me not to use the oven because you didn't want any gas coming out without an igniter. The part was sent to my house, another guy came out and he thought all these different things were wrong, the door didn't shut. The ovens were supposed to light up, they didn't. So, he put one of the lightbulbs in the top oven and he put the new igniter in the top oven and didn't do anything to the bottom oven and the light flickered on and off. But the smell was horrendous. I got sick, had to go on other side of the house and open the windows and go outside. So, I asked him to check for gas and carbon monoxide. He said it was fine.

    I said, "There's something else that's coming out of the oven and I don't know what." He said, "I don't smell it and I can't prove that there's anything wrong." I said, "Can't you put the igniter in the bottom oven in case something's escaping like the first guy said?" "No," he said. "It reached the right temperature, so no." I said, "I have to make a complaint." And he said, "What are you going to complain about if the oven reaches the temperature?"

    Why would the oven not work, and all of a sudden work? When you're dealing with a gas oven, that's not appropriate. So, he said, "I think there's so much crud. The oven is dirty." I've only lived here a year. So, I said, "Yeah, because it wouldn't heat up to clean." He said, "It's the smell from the oven." I am sensitive to smells. And I always have the same reaction to something that's wrong. Anything that has a noxious part to it, I know right away. I said, "I know you don't believe me and you don't have to believe me, but I don't know how I can still use this oven." It wouldn't have killed the guy to put in the part that I already got and ordered for him that the first guy, his boss, said to put in. The igniter is where the gas comes out and it makes sure to light the gas right away so nothing escapes. But he said, "No."

When it starts going out, sometimes the dryer doesn't work. And then you try to use it again, and it starts working again. So, Cinch took that information and took care of my dryer. They were quick.

    I always talked to someone and see what it was. My warranty booklet tells me everything that is claimable. So, I knew what could be claimed and it's easy to put the claim in throughout that. Cinch calls the contractor, who I either call them or they call me and we set up a time and go from there. It's always the smaller business people that come out. They probably are the cheaper people in the area. But the quality of work has been good. Some of the things that they couldn't take care of were just because it wasn't their area of expertise once they got into what was actually wrong with the product. Other than that, Cinch has been a service. I recommended it to a lot of people and one of my friends took it up.

    I have a claim for the water heater and we're still working on the feedback from that. There's information that Cinch needs that I've been trying to get from the company that I hired to do the job. So, I haven't been able to get back to them. I was so frustrated and upset about the whole situation but at the moment, I can't do anything about it. It's unfair though that I have to go through hoops to get what I need when I pay on time. I do what I'm supposed to do. It seems like it might not be a good fit for me. But because I've been paying it so long and I've paid so much money into this, it's hard to just walk away.

    I used to be happy with Cinch. Somebody took over the company during the process of when I first got it till now and you can tell the difference in the quality that I'm receiving if I make a claim. Except for the beginning of the service, I've had to get upset to get what I feel is fair, nothing more, nothing less. There's a lady that seems to be understanding what I'm going through. Even if I'm told I can't have what I think I should have, certain things that people say is unacceptable for me. And with the hot water heater, part of what was told to me was totally unacceptable. So, I got somebody I'm working with now and hopefully, it'll get resolved.

    Cinch sent somebody out for the hot water heater and this guy was very nonchalant. I told him that maybe he couldn't do anything. But he should not act like this hot water heater is gonna last me forever, because he couldn’t even get one drop of water out of the drain line. I asked him why and he said that it was because it was full of rust. It's sometimes the people's attitude that plays a big part in how you feel about them when they leave.

    When I had my heating system done, the last gentleman who came looked into the system. He was out there for a while, and he told me there was a problem and a solution. The people who came 30 days before him were oblivious. I understand the system would come back on but I was trying to tell them what happened. They were out there for a few minutes and they came back and told me I needed to video the thermostat and they needed proof. When the next gentleman came, it was the exact same scenario. I told him, he looked at the thing, and figured out there was something wrong. And since he's been here, thus far, I have not had any issues. Whatever he fixed, it worked.

    To submit a claim is simple. I like that you can get the information to the representative. Cinch's resources are better at providing a provider. In the past, I've had where I had to find somebody to do the work, and I get reimbursed. Cinch only had that to happen once and that was with my hot water heater. And I've had some issues with the television. I was pleased with my reimbursement for that to be able to purchase another television, and not have to come out of the pocket with such a large sum of money.

    For repairs and services on my washer and dryer, they have someone locally that can come out and take care of it. And the last thing that I had done was with my refrigerator. I found out after the fact that my refrigerator icemaker was under warranty at Samsung. I was disappointed that I had to pay $150 out of pocket because the serviceman had to come out and take a look at it. But it only took him about 15 minutes to do what he did.

    I asked the person that I talked to when I asked them about giving me a refund on some of my money. She said that they had to pay for someone to come out. And that was the amount that they had to pay and I couldn't get any of my money back. But I asked them, “Well, how did you find out that the icemaker was still under warranty?” She said that the person that came out to check the refrigerator told them the refrigerator had a recall on it. It was not a warranty. It was a recall because there was a defect with Samsung icemakers. So, I would have liked to have known that before the fact. Having to pay for somebody to come out and look at it, especially $150, that was quite a bit. But overall, I'm pleased.

    I was very disappointed a couple of months ago with Cinch because they gave me false information. I ended up spending several days on the telephone trying to find someone to fix my roof. I was told that Cinch took care of that and they sent me to Sears. Sears said they don't take care of that and that was not covered under my policy. I went through five people with Cinch saying that it was. They didn't provide a service for me, which they said you were going to at first. I spent almost two weeks with a broken thing on top of my roof that could have fallen on one of these kids that go to school across the street from me. I'm pretty disappointed.

    The person on the phone was also very rude. When I finally called and asked why they aren't fixing my roof, they sent someone here to work on my furnace. I said, “You're not working on my furnace, you're working on my roof.” But that was the information the techs got. Everything got completely screwed up. I ended up having to find somebody on my own and paying out of pocket to do it.

    Cinch bought HMS, which was the home service I had for 30 years. I’ve never had false information from HMS. The people that answered the telephone with Cinch have no idea what you're talking about. I tried to explain to them what and where the issue was. They sent me somebody to go look at my furnace in the basement. This was not a very good first experience with Cinch.

    I'm glad that I went ahead and renewed Cinch ‘cause it's worth having it. It's about the third time that their contractors have had to replace the control panel on the stove. It'll be fine then all of a sudden, it goes haywire when I try to use the oven. They had to order the panel, wait for that to be shipped then come back. There have been a couple of different companies and I've never had a complaint with any of them. But it's been seven weeks from the time I filed the claim, which is a long time to be out of an appliance as major as a stove, the oven portion.

    I did a claim for the air handler. When the contractor fixed the motor in the air handler, it wasn’t talking to the equipment outside. They had to go outside and do something to the equipment outside, but it had corroded together. They could not put the gauge on the air handler because of a corroded part on the air conditioner outside so they had to replace the air handler and the outside unit. When they've come out, they've been polite. But we had to have them come out a couple times on this repair, and it was a very long and drawn-out process from the time that our AC went down to when we got a new AC. It was over a month and I was not happy with the way this particular process went.

    They tried to order a system that I was not satisfied with. I had a Lennox system and Cinch wanted to replace it with a mid-grade to bottom brand. I told them I'd get my own and to send me the check for whatever the amount is that they were willing to pay. It turned out that they would only cover the air handler. They cut me a check for what it will cost to replace the air handler without labor. I called it good because I did not have time or energy to fight with the semantics of an upgrade versus an industry standard.

    I don't feel like Cinch indemnified me, which is what they're supposed to do. The actual definition of that is replacing what was lost but they downgraded what was lost. They said they'd give me credit if I use their company but I was not satisfied with the pricing at the one place that they were offering me to use. I got much better pricing for a comparable unit by using somebody else. It was also very difficult to communicate with them and to get the story straight each time I had to call and talk to somebody. That was a very aggravating process. Back when it was TotalProtect, it was not this difficult. I'm considering dropping Cinch.

We adhere to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and there are specific terms and conditions regarding the replacement of systems/appliances. In this case, since there was no failure found with the outside condensing unit, we only covered the replacement of the inside air handler. When replacing an item, the terms of his contract guarantee “… the replacement will be the base model that meets all applicable federally mandated minimal manufacturers’ standards, performs the same primary function, and has a capacity comparable to the Covered Item, when available with domestically assembled units.

    I'm a little dissatisfied with Cinch. They're using companies that are not reputable. I've informed them a few times about vendors that they're sending to our homes that are not legitimate companies. They don't treat the customer with any type of respect. One example is Joe's Appliance. I wouldn't talk to my dogs the way that man talked to me. He had a contract briefly to do a job and first time they came here was okay. I started getting a feel of who they were as a company. Weeks went by, and I called back to find out about my products. They said, “Ma’am, this is covid and there's nothing I can do about it.”

    I tried to calm the situation down for two reasons. The holidays were coming. The part was supposed to be ordered. I needed my appliance fixed so I could prepare our holiday festivities. My immediate action was to contact the company and advise them how he spoke to me. His employees were in my house discussing their personal issue. I told Cinch I wanted Sears to do the install. This went from June to September. They accommodated me getting a new cooktop and I understood the situation with covid but I don't understand why they would continue to use a provider with such disrespect to their customer. They could review their appliance service providers more thoroughly. They could also check the Better Business Bureau before they take these appliance service technicians on who they're bringing into our homes. I also had another incident where it was too long for the repair to take place.

    I pay annually and not monthly and there was no notification that I have a renewal coming. The policy was terminated. I called and they made me pay under a new policy which knocked me out of me being grandfathered in from a company they bought out. I didn't appreciate that either. They billed me twice for my payment and the customer service people aren't knowledgeably familiar when I question if something is covered.

    So far, I've been happy with Cinch. I got them on two different homes and we've been with them for about 10 years now. Recently, we had a dishwasher fall apart on us, and the repairman had it fixed better than it was originally. He ordered a metal part to replace it and got it stronger than the original plastic part. The biggest problem we had was they have my number on file and don't have my wife's. I can't take my phone to work with me so the hardest part was getting them to call my wife instead of me.

    I also used Cinch for my rental for about three years when I had to go back to Colorado. I had an issue with the claim and they had to call my renter but they worked great with them. We had a brand new LG washer and they fixed it. The renter was absolutely rough on it. Eventually they had to say, "We can't fix it anymore because it's that broken." We had to negotiate. I bought a new washer on my own instead of having them do it. I didn't like the brand they wanted to replace it with.

    My son lives in the house, and he told me that the heat wouldn't turn on. I made a claim online, and Cinch sent out a service guy, but when he got there, the heat was working. He said, “Yeah, there's nothing I can really do. Because, now it's working so not really anything to troubleshoot. Just give us a call if it happens again.” It happened again, and I called Cinch through their customer service. I explained what happened, and they reactivated that claim and sent somebody out right away. It was the same technician, so he knew what the issue was. That was good because sometimes you get a different service and you have to start over.

    The type and quality of service you get with Cinch seems to be a lot better than TotalProtect, the previous company that I had. Because sometimes you'd have to call back again and they say, “Oh, we can't find a contractor.” Generally, the contractors that Cinch has on their list are very responsive and show up sooner rather than later. They've never not shown up when they said they were going to show up, and they're usually very cooperative with your schedule. My son works and gets home at 3:00, and they're usually very good about coming after he gets off. I've had no complaints with the contractors that Cinch has sent out. They've been all good. During the height of COVID, they had to wait for parts, but other than that, I have no complaints. The website that I use to make to the request is very easy to use, and the pricing is straightforward. I will keep them and recommend them to anybody else.

    Been a member for over 10 years and in overall have been a pretty good experience until the last two years. On the last two free annual periodic maintenance checkups the technician has cancelled right before the end of the time allotted for the inspection. The appointments are not in the customers interest, the web site allows for a date and time but the technician or cinch sends the customer an appointment on the date requested from 8 AM to 5 PM each time, so why give the customer that option of time. The last time the technician cancelled after waiting all day a voice mail came in saying from cinch that the technician was trying to contact me and to call the number they supplied to get this resolved. The number cinch supplied is their standard automated system with no option for this situation. trying to contact someone became a nightmare with only talking to a representative who could not help and when asked to speak to someone that can they transferred me back to the automated system twice.

    I purchased and paid for this home warranty for 4 years and when my first claim was submitted the experience was pitiful and difficult. they could not find a technician, so I got my own, and then every step of the way they tossed roadblocks at me. Numerous phone calls, lots of "i'm sorry" and excuses, but no action. Even trying to connect by phone (10 calls overall) took hours and resulted in only more frustration. A $4000 replacement for a gas water heater (priced higher due to availability because of "covid") resulted in my paying the $100 deductible and then receiving a check for $400.00 the first time, then after many more calls, an additional $1100 was sent. The cost of the heater, even before labor was 2500 but they insisted that the market value was only 1500....and that was all they would pay. They were quick to say they could not help me, but someone would get back to me- and that never happened. THEN when I decided to cancel the coverage, I had to pay another $95- really?

    I've had two claims with Cinch. One was for an HVAC condenser unit or an exchanger, and the second one was for a washing machine. The first one, the exchanger, they paid for. They provided a replacement service to do it with. With the washing machine, they offered me a replacement washing machine, but it was a lower line than what I was wanting. So I took the cash offer and purchased one myself. Having the home warranty is well worth the premium.

    There were just a little bit of internal communications problems and the time it took them to review replacement parts. Initially, I was told by the servicemen on the washing machine that because the part was no longer made, they would take 10 days to source a potential replacement part. After 10 days, I called them, and they said, “We never heard from the technician. We have 21 days to source parts.” So, the whole thing dragged out a little longer than it should have. But once that period was over, the claim was completed and paid out within one business day.

    10/9/2021 - I place another request in their system for the same issue. They schedule a tech (again Sears) to come out this time on 12/1/2021. Again day of the appointment they cancel...

    2/14/2022 - 3rd request for service. Tech scheduled (Sears) for 3/23. This time the tech came out and said he is unable to service this type of ice maker.

    3/23/22 - I contact Cinch and mention the tech is unable to service this device, and they proceed to just rebook Sears for 2 weeks from now. It has now been 7 months since the original service request and my issue is not close to resolved.

    It feels as though I am getting the run around and they are doing everything in their power to avoid fixing the issue.

    We had a water heater that went out. The techs came out the same day. They had to order a new water heater, so that was another day. But it was fine. I went round and round with them for a while, because I didn't understand why it was gonna cost us that much money. But after my husband and I talked about it, I realized they were replacing everything. So it was a good experience. The techs were on time, professional and very good. We were very happy with the service.

    I like Cinch a lot. When I need something, I can put in my claim and within a couple of days, they usually have what I need done. I've had them for almost longer than I've had my house and I've used them a lot. I've used them for my washer and dryer, my garage door opener, my water heater, my refrigerator, and my air conditioning unit.

    The only complaint I've ever had is that they only have one provider for the AC in my area, and it's a one-man team. Other than that, they've been fine. I usually put the claim in online and within 24 hours, I have an appointment with somebody. So far, they've been reputable companies that have come out. They have multiple days available and the quality of work is fine. I tell anybody that has a house that they should have Cinch. It's $41 a month but when you need a new refrigerator or a new washer, you don't have to spend that $1,200. You spend that $100, $125. It comes out of pocket most of the time, but it's worth it because you don't have to worry about the household needing that money upfront when that big dollar value appliance breaks down.

    Cinch has improved their services and I would highly recommend. However, when the reps are talking, either they don't understand what they're saying or we speak a different language. I never had that issue before. Also, I used to ask them if I could speak to a supervisor. They used to make sure that a supervisor called or left a voice message. But recently, we had an issue. The contractor was unable to resolve my problem and I requested to speak to a supervisor but no one called. I called a couple of times and there was one there who understood my agony. He was able to help me out.

    Having a home warranty is hassle-free. We just let Cinch know what the issue is and they will take care of it. We know that the people who are coming are trusted, recognized, and certified. We do not have to be on the phone calling different people and checking their reviews. I never received any paperwork though and my premium has increased. They doubled it.

    Cinch is useless. I had an emergency and wasn't able to directly call them and wait god-only-knows how long on hold to talk to someone and get a plumber out, but rather I called a plumber who I knew would be there ASAP. Even though there was extenuating circumstances, Cinch REFUSED to even consider reimbursement. It wasn't as if I didn't 'meet' some set of emergency criteria, but they just stated no matter what, they won't reimburse if they aren't in charge of who comes out. No one contacted me to get more information. I simply received an email saying no they wouldn't even consider it. When I called to get clarification or talk whomever made the decision, I called multiple times, waited on hold for hours, and still got nothing accomplished.

    Take the money you would have spent on a 'warranty' and put it in savings, that way you actual get some use out of it.

    Allyson - We appreciate your feedback and 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 specific terms regarding the coverage provided. In this instance, you chose to have the job completed by an unauthorized vendor outside our network without approval. Any covered work or repairs must be approved by Cinch prior to any work being completed as we would need the type and cause of failure in order to determine whether the claim would qualify for coverage. This information can be found within the terms and conditions of your warranty booklet which was mailed to you upon enrollment. We regret any confusion or misunderstanding of the coverage provided.

    I've been pleased with Cinch. Cinch took over my previous home warranty a year ago and now I get results and assignments to other vendors more quickly than I did with my previous home warranty group. I had an air conditioner claim last year and an issue with the hot water heater about a month ago. I placed the claim online and I had immediate feedback on who would be calling. The vendors that I worked with reached out right away to set up a time to come out and look at everything. The techs were both great. After the service call had been made and everything was taken care of, Cinch sent a text message, asking if the tech showed up, if I was satisfied, and if I needed anything else. That was something I didn't have before.

    I sent in a claim for the hot water heater that gave out. The claim was put in on a Tuesday. The event occurred as I was leaving the house to go to the hospital to have surgery. So I wasn't gonna be here for a day, and I asked the contractor to come the day that I was going to be released from the hospital. There was some misunderstanding about the claim that took about 20 minutes to get cleared up. But everything went well. The hot water heater is working perfectly, just like it was before it stopped working. With Cinch, I like the fact that you can call in or go online and give your information. So you have two avenues of being in touch with them, online or by telephone.

    The garbage disposal leaked and it was affecting the cabinet and subfloor from under the cabinet. I got the source of the leak fixed first and then the contractor did the mitigation. The mitigation is still ongoing right now. They did the initial work today. They tore out the damaged wet material. They said because due to the category of the water, they're gonna have to remove the affected materials and then they set up the equipment and they're gonna come back to do the full mitigation until it's finished. Overall, Cinch was very responsive and I'm very satisfied with them.

    Overall, I've had a positive experience with Cinch. But most recently, some negatives with the Coronavirus, because they have had a shortage of people to utilize for the needed repairs. So when I had to have a repair done, they went ahead and booked it. But after I booked it and paid my money, they told me, “We don't have anybody available. You'll have to find somebody.” I was not very happy with that. This made me consider changing home warranty companies because I had never run into anything like that. Being a widow who relies on that service for any type of need that arises, it was very frustrating.

    I like that if something breaks down, I can call Cinch to have them check it out. They're very time-efficient and good. I really appreciate them. Their fee is also not bad. If it's two items, like my washer and my refrigerator, I can have them come and check on both at the same time. The last time I submitted a claim, they gave me dates to choose from and that was difficult for me ‘cause I knew exactly what they were giving me that I wanted, but when I was choosing the date, I didn't quite understand which one I chose.

    They gave me, “Choose one section 3C for Wednesday. Choose one section 3C for Friday.” I said, “For Friday.” I had to push a button for one section 3C. But I still ended up getting Wednesday. So, I ended up calling in to have the customer service change it to that day. But it was easy. Even the technicians that came out were very nice and kind. They explained things about what they were doing. When my refrigerator went out, they couldn't fix it. Instantly, they replaced my refrigerator. That was wonderful.
