Cinch Home Services Reviews

I've been with TotalProtect since 2005 and I've been happy with them. City Mortgage, my mortgage company, showed me the information on them and I signed up to get them. I turn in my payments along with my mortgage payment every month. I also heard of them a couple of years ago, when I had some work done and the plumber who came out told me that he uses TotalProtect on all his rental properties. He told me that it was the best one so his properties are covered for things like the water heater, furnace and what not. Another set of plumbers came in September and they too use TotalProtect. They also has a plan while some of the other ones don't. They also have a deal where I can get appliances at a discount anytime. I have a number that they have me to identify myself as a member of their services.

You only get them on the phone when you want to purchase the warranty....I have stayed on hold for over 2 hours and no one has ever picked up. This has happened over and over ( no one ever picked up) ! ! ! The only time you will get someone to finally answer your phone questions if you call in the wee hours in the morning.

I used TotalProtect twice on my apartment for the same thing because the technicians were not sure that the warranty would cover the work so they had to go back and call TotalProtect. Then TotalProtect explained to them that it was covered and the technicians went back and fixed it. The people in the apartment have told me that the technicians were very nice. When I called the claim in, I was also taken care of very quickly and they were very nice and cooperative. TotalProtect was so good that I extended the warranty to my other house as well.

We were shopping for insurance on our home and my husband came across TotalProtect, which they had good reviews. The first few times with TotalProtect weren't too good. I called over the phone to submit the claims. For the first two calls, I had to wait. Also, when we scheduled the appointments, they got them all mixed up. That happened three times and they had to reschedule. First, they worked on the washer, then the dishwasher and then the dryer. The repair of the dryer went well. The services of the technicians that came here weren't the best as they have an attitude. However, that's a hit and miss. Eventually, they took care of the problem.

We had HMS Home Warranty with our last home in Ohio for two years and we had a very good experience with them. Even after it expired, we still renewed it right away because they provided such a nice service and the price is exceptional. Getting a home warranty is a good idea. We would simply call to submit a claim and they would ask for information, give us a claim number almost immediately and tell us that we would be getting in contact with a representative. Usually, we are contacted by a representative, who HMS represents, to come out here and fix the problem. HMS calls, tells us the name of the person and gives us their phone number as well. They were very expedient and very helpful.

I've been a TotalProtect customer for 4 years. My washer-dryer (single unit) has started making

We moved into our home in August. The warranty was provided to us from the buyers. Almost immediately after moving in, our dishwasher stopped draining. We called the home warranty and it took us 4 attempts before being assigned to someone who worked on our brand of dishwasher. The tech came out twice and recommended replacing the dishwasher due to major issues. It took us over a month to hear from the warranty company what the outcome was (only after I called them repeatedly). We were then told that it was approved to be replaced, already ordered, and we would receive a call within 3-5 days to schedule installation. Another week and a half went by. No call. When we called back in, we were told they were not replacing it, but repairing it. Even our service tech was confused as he, too, was informed it was being replaced.

My water heater broke on Sat. Nov 11 2017. I wasn't worried as I have a home warranty through HMS (Cross Country), and in the past have been pleased with their response. As it was a weekend, they stated they could not get anyone out to my home until Monday. On Monday, Nov 13th, their service provider did arrive and informed HMS that I needed a new water heater. Since then...nothing. I have called numerous times and each time have been told that due to a new computer system, my claim was still in 'research'. The first call, I was told it would be 24 hours. The next call, I was told 3 days. The next one I was told 7-10 days! 

I tried on Saturday to file claim with HMS and I was on hold for more than 40 minutes so I just hung up. I called back on Monday and the hold was about 20 minutes at that time. They denied one of my claims and I had called them that the person who diagnosed the claim made an error because I had someone else not affiliated with HMS diagnose the claim and they said something totally different. I asked the HMS representative if they would consider reopening my claim and they declined it saying it was still structural and not mechanical. And I accepted that.

My experience with TotalProtect has always been good although I got a guy who didn’t know what he was doing to fix my air conditioning. He put a part in and it ran for a while and when he was long gone and it quit. So then, I had to wait but they got another company right away as fast as they could, but when he got here he said that he had to order a part. That took a better part of a week but I didn’t blame TotalProtect for that. The guy knew what he was doing.

I've been with TotalProtect for a few years now and my experience with them has been very good. They're very reliable. Our home is aging and things happen so a home warranty is for our peace of mind. Submitting a claim with them has been effortless. Once, they assigned a company to me that had negative information in Better Business Bureau so I called TotalProtect back and they assigned me another company. The contractor from the other company came out on time and did an excellent job within 20 minutes, which was very quick. I look forward to more opportunities with TotalProtect in the future.

If I could choose fewer stars, I would. I signed up in August. Filed a claim in September. A service man came to my house October 21st and I paid him a $125 deductible. It's now November and NOTHING has been resolved. I tried to call the repairman and all I get is his voicemail. I read his business' reviews online - ALL NEGATIVE!! Do they check on the quality of the businesses they use? I've called (stayed on hold for at LEAST 45 minutes every time). I just need SOMEONE in this company to answer and complete the claim!

Initially got service included with my home and mistakenly renewed for another term. My refrigerator's ice maker/water has had double digit visits from providers and still doesn't work (no consideration of replacement and I know they have paid more for all the fixes then what they could have paid for replacement at this point).

They didn't fix my air condition unit, gave me the run around for a couple of months and when I called customer service they put me on hold for one hour and you can never talk to a supervisor!!! They tell you that they don't have a # for a supervisor you have to wait for them to call you.

The previous owner of this property recommended HMS Home Warranty and it has been great. When my toilet leaked and the fill ruptured, I called it in and the claim was taken care of. The reps were very polite and professional. The contractor was also professional and very informative.

Our home warranty policy was purchased through our real estate agent when we bought our house. We have been glad to have the policy as we have placed 2 claims in less than a year. The first claim was for our washer and it was handled, repaired, and good as new in no time. No hassle at all. Our second claim has been a completely different experience! Our heat was not working at the beginning of the season so we placed a claim. Two days later a repairman deemed it would need replacement. That was 14 days ago.

I've been with TotalProtect for 10 years now. Having a home warranty is the easiest way since I know nothing about appliances. It’s easy to submit a claim and I do it mostly online. When I submit over the phone, the reps I talk to are good and they answer whatever I need to ask. And the technicians were excellent. A while back, I had an issue with my air conditioning unit. It was in the middle of the summer and the technicians had to wait for the central air machine to arrive. But they were able to replace it right away when it arrived. Recently, I submitted a claim for my water heater because it burst. I put a claim on Friday night and the technician checked it Saturday. He found a replacement and put it back there and the process was done within six hours. I recommended three of my friends to TotalProtect.

Our realtor gave me three different numbers of home warranty companies and HMS Home Warranty had the best deal, so we picked them and got a warranty from them. Our experience in submitting claims has been good and we've had good interactions with the claims reps. They took care of the issues right away and got back to me within a reasonable time. Normally, it was great with the technicians too. In our first claim, they were here a day or two after we booked them. In our second claim, they could have been here in a couple of days, but we were out of town so they couldn’t come earlier than a few days after, due to our schedule rather than their availability. It was nice that the technicians came early and did a great job in a timely manner.

I have had a very good experience with TotalProtect. They knew what the problem was and solved it on time. Plus, I haven't had any more problems. My sister also has TotalProtect. She's really good at researching and does a lot of it. I have a lot of trust in what she decides to do. So, when she's selected someone, I know that she's already done her research and I don't have to do my own. I'm not very good at computers so I ended up calling in my claim. They were very courteous and took care of it. I told the tech what the problem was with my refrigerator. He looked around and said he knew what it was. He knew that there were a couple of broken pieces. He replaced those and he took care of the issue.

When submitting a claim with TotalProtect, I go over the phone and explain what the problem is. Then I get a recording to call the local contractor for the problem. I do that, and it goes well from there. The contractors that they’ve sent have been good. They take care of the problems. I’m happy with the service, overall.

I own a home, which makes sense to have a home warranty, and I've been with TotalProtect for a year now. When I submitted my first claim over the phone, there was no wait time and everything went smooth and well. The claim was for my AC and a tech fixed it the next day. My experience with TotalProtect was excellent and I'm satisfied.

I've been an HMS customer for a couple of years and I love their service. We have definitely benefited from having our homeowner’s warranty. We did a claim for HVAC and it went good. When we first got on the HMS system, we were blessed to be given a certain contractor who was wonderful. He was quick and thorough. He fixed the problem right away. So, when we had an issue the next year, we were able to get the same person to come out and we've been matched with him every time.

HMS home warranty was included when I purchased my home. I've had it for 10 months now and I had no issue filing a claim when I had a legitimate issue. I submitted a claim over the phone and the claim representative was courteous and helpful. The technicians were great and the quality of their work was excellent. I'd recommend HMS Home Warranty over other companies that may give a hassle.

My friend's mother had TotalProtect. My husband passed away two years ago and I'm by myself, living on social security and I figured I needed some protection. I got TotalProtect and I've had them for a year and a half now. I've submitted about three claims through their website and over the phone. They're very good about the claims and they make it very easy. Their reps are very friendly and very efficient. Also, the technicians have been great, very friendly and thorough. The quality of their work has been very good. But the last time that I had a guy come, around the first of October, the job wasn't done completely and my air conditioner had problems again. I just had a friend finish the job.

I had to place the claim online because no one answered the phone. They send me an email with a service company that does not service my area. They scheduled time and date. No one arrive to service at my house. I called HMS and they always have horrible wait time any time of the day. No one has responded to my emails even to the claims department I made. They automatically renewed my membership at the time of renewal. I am going to call my company and stop payments to HMS for the warranty.

I have never in my life dealt with such a JOKE of a company. After my initial claim on 10/30 to report that there was a gas leak in the stove top (per a visit from our local gas company) it has been nothing but the runaround. I was told that I would hear from someone in 24-48 hours from HMS or from a vendor of their choosing to come assess the situation. No one called me. So I called after 48 hours and sat on hold for an hour and 15 minutes - then I had to hang up. Every time I call them there is over an hour hold time to speak with someone who really can't help. 11/3 when I had the day off I sat on hold and waited close to an hour and 30 minutes for them to give me the name of the company they would have do the work - that this company would call in 24-48 hours. AGAIN this didn't happen.

If I could give less stars, I would. I am so frustrated right now. I feel I have no recourse and at this point, looking to find every place to post a negative review on HMS and the service provider they sent out that I can. Let's see if I can list my problems for efficiency: The service technician they sent was JGR LLC from Queenstown, MD... 2 hours from my unit. The technician arrived in an unmarked car, without a uniform, and a sketchy sidekick. I asked for identification, and he told me who he was. I asked again for something that confirmed that, and he gave me his credit card. No picture id, no business card. Nothing. And I am a single female.

I called on October 26 to get someone scheduled to look at my washing machine. I have gotten nothing but a run around. After going back and forth, we finally had to have someone out that we paid for out of our pocket. He called an authorization number and was told it would be 3 -5 days before we would hear something. It has now been 9 business days, and this matter has not been resolved. The customer service for this company stinks!!! As soon (if it ever is) this matter is resolved, I will be cancelling my insurance!!! If I could give less that 1 star I would!

For the last few days, I have spent at least 3-4 hours on hold trying to get through to customer service. I still haven’t talked to anyone about our claim. How can you as a company provide customer service, if you don’t even answer your phones? Super frustrating as a homeowner with a so called home warranty. We have had serious plumbing issues for the last month...still no resolution. I’m sure we could get more accomplished if we could actually have a conversation.

It was easy to submit a claim to HMS. I do it online or I call them. Their reps were very helpful and nice. The techs who came were very professional, knew what they were doing and even offered us additional advice than what we had called about. Also, the quality of the replacement products they used is very good. My refrigerator went out and they replaced it with the same KAFF. It was the newer edition but it was very high quality. I was impressed by that. Overall, HMS was easy to work with and they have provided good service. I would definitely recommend them.

Oct. 30 - Filed a claim online. Oct. 30 - Received an email with the claim information and the company they assigned to repair. Oct. 30 - Called the company - they needed to call me back because they didn't have any information on the claim yet. When we finally connected, their hours of availability were horrible. Doing further research on this particular company - the reviews were terrible.

TotalProtect came through my credit union advertisement and I inquired about it. I have a lot of problems in my new home and I felt as though as I was spending a lot of money in repairs so I went ahead and consolidate the payment and see if I can just get something a little bit better. I’m in a rural area so there’s not that many local companies that are signed up with TotalProtect. The provider is in another state so you can imagine the willingness of one to come and do a service when it’s just that far away. In a business point of view, I can understand that but it’s not good for me. In submitting a claim, it was hard to get through when I call sometimes. But once I got through, the service was excellent. If I was in another area where I can have more providers it will probably be a lot better.

We've been with TotalProtect for over a year now and we've submitted claims twice. We submitted over the phone and it went perfectly fine. They were very kind and the wait time was very short. The technicians were very professional. TotalProtect met all of our standards and we are 100% satisfied with them.

If I could give a zero star review I would. My heater broke down 2 days prior to moving into my new house on October 29, 2017. I filed a claim over the phone with HMS and they lost my claim number every time I called them. Every time I called it's always the same excuse blaming it on their computer system. The wait times were always 30 minutes or more on hold. They issued me a claim number and as usually they would set up a repair. A few days went by and I didn't hear back from them. I went online and found out the claim number they gave me wasn't even mentioned on my account. I filed a claim online on their site, which by the way has no complaint number you can call. They set up for a repairman to visit the next day by Action Mechanical Services, Inc. A man came by and said my furnace needed a new part because it wasn't igniting anymore. He took a $100 deductible and allegedly ordered the part and was waiting for HMS to approve the repair.

I can't stress how displeased and disgusted I am about my experience with HMS Home Warranty. I purchased my current home a year and a half ago. The seller purchased a one year warranty from HMS. This warranty was set to expire in May of 2017. I got constant, persistent emails and calls from HMS asking for me to extend the home warranty service. I agreed to extend the warranty coverage for another year.

Your service has gotten very, very poor.

It has been about a year ago when I first heard about HMS Home Warranty through my realtor. So far, I like their service very much. I had a unique situation and they worked with me to make sure that I was satisfied. Everything worked out as expected afterwards.

TotalProtect's service policy is cheap. I have checked around with some other people, and their service fee was still a little cheaper. Though it has gone up, I'm still pleased with it. Additionally, submitting a claim has been good. I prefer talking to a live person rather than the automated system because sometimes I'm not sure which category the service job comes under. And their claims representatives have been excellent. They were able to answer all my questions and they have been able to call the company and get somebody out pretty quick. So far, the longest I have to wait for someone was three days. Also, the technicians they've sent has been on time and they stick within the time frame they give you. They do excellent work. I haven't had any problems. Overall, I have recommended TotalProtect.

I contacted HMS on 10/26 for a washing machine issue claim number ** , on 11/6 Sears came to my home and told me it would cost more to repair than to replace. The technician then called HMS to report his findings. HMS said it would be 48 hrs and an HMS would contact us about a replacement. 48 hrs. passed after 2.5 hrs. on hold I was told it would be another 48 hrs. It goes on and on day after day for a total of 62 hrs. of my life dealing with HMS on the phone and 6 unanswered emails. And still no response or resolution and a none working washing machine in a house of a family of 4 with a 1 year old and a 4 year old. 200 dollars spent at the cleaners, 100 dollars spent on a deductible to HMS and 489 dollars spent to purchase the home warranty. Thanks HMS for taking my money and providing nothing in return, where I am from that's call stealing.

This company owes me, according to their own decision, $1,357. I have sent my receipt to be reimbursed, but mysteriously, they now cannot help me. I have called them more than two dozen times, with an average wait time of over 20 minutes. Today I waited on hold for 37 minutes before my call was dropped. I have had to call multiple numbers, including numbers designated for real estate agents and contractors because no one at customer service can help. I got an email confirmation that I would receive information regarding my claim payout in 3-5 business days 13 business days ago and have had literally no one there respond to any of my emails or requests for information. I have sent my receipt to the requested email twice, receiving confirmation both times. I have sent it to two individual employees I waited on hold to speak to.

11/7/2017 Heater stopped working. 11/8/2017 I called HMS to start claim (on hold for 40+ minutes). I was told that all was fine and the claim was submitted. The first service provider did not answer calls to schedule appointment. I call HMS again to have the service provider changed to a company we had used in the past. I was told that I could not change providers since they had already submitted the claim. I called HMS again, spoke to another service representative and the change was made after HMS called the first service provider and their calls were not answered. 11/9/2017 I called HMS TWICE (on hold each call for 40+ minutes) to find out why my new service company had not received my claim. I was told that they had submitted it. Called my service provider and they did not have it.

Submitting a claim to Total Protect was easy. I can either do it online or by the phone. When my water softener gave out, I called them. They got right back with me even if it’s during the weekend. They have different plumbers doing different things. They sent it directly to the proper plumbing service, and they got right back ahold with me. They sent a plumber out and the plumber said the water softener needed replacement. There were a few extra charges for the installation that was over and above the initial $100, but I understood that there was going to be an additional cost. Nevertheless, they did the job. My experience with TotalProtect is really good.

It’s been more than 10 years that I’ve had TotalProtect Home Warranty and I’m not fully 100% satisfied with them. The reps have always been courteous and nice when I call to report a claim. Then they told me that someone would call me and I had to deal with that person for the appointment. I called them to submit my claim three weeks ago for my garbage disposal. But I had a problem with the results because the serviceman didn’t do what he was supposed to do. He came and saw that it had to be replaced. He said that he can do it at that time and I questioned him as it was not the kind of disposal that they have but I wanted to know whether it was a half horsepower because that’s what I had in there.

HMS Home Warranty was recommended to us by our realtor as being one of the good ones to work with. We've been submitting claims via the computer and it has been very easy and we’ve received prompt service from them. The techs that came were professional and the quality of their work has been really good. Our hot water heater was leaking even though we got a new one, and they came right out and were on top of taking care of it and did not charge us because they said there was a year's worth of service on that piece. The only one that we had trouble with was our gas fireplace. That item wasn't in our warranty even though we've gotten the extended package and they won't even come out and look at it.

Wow, so in the past it has been relatively easy to file a claim and get fairly prompt service and appts, however today I was on hold for 60 min waiting for customer service to take my call. Someone then answered and hung up on me. I called back and am now waiting 70min and counting. This is ridiculous, it has consumed my entire day. They should initiate a call back option where you leave your name and number and it holds your place in the queue. I am beyond upset.

We purchased our home in July. We made a claim on Oct 9th that the furnace didnt work. Here I am Nov 13 and I still have ZERO heat in my house. We live in northwest Pa where temperatures have gotten as low as 17 degrees at night. The warranty company sent the wrong unit first and then after a week of hearing nothing I call to find that the new one has not been ordered and is in research.

I have been without heat for over a week now. Each time I call Total Protect I have wait over an hour every day I call to get a status. I'm told each time that they are waiting on the furnace to come in. It should not take more than 2 days to get a furnance unless it's coming from outside the country! Totally disappointed in the customer service and time it is taking to get a result. Freezin in CHICAGO!

We have been customers since 2013 and our experiences with this company have been comparably worse in the last year than ever before. Most recently we placed a claim two months for two toilets that were not working. The plumber came out and said that they needed to be replaced. The company would only approve the lowest grade toilet, which was in no way comparable to our existing toilet. We had this same issue years before and a supervisor agreed with us, approving a more comparable, but still not on the same par as our existing toilet. However, on this recent claim we have not had any response from the company despite me calling several times and being told on three different occasions that the claim would be escalated and someone from that department would call back with 24 hours.

I have been in my home for 3 years now. I have been complaining about issues with my heater since year #2, have paid the $100.00 deductible 3 times about my furnace not operating correctly. They said stuff was installed improperly like I made the changes to my furnace. Now it is quite cold outside and I have space heaters plugged up trying to keep my home warm until I can replace the unit. The way they treat retired, disabled veterans is a disgrace.

I started a claim for my home heating system on 11/03/17, mind you I did not get a chance to speak with a live person, an automated system, took control ( extremely bad voice ) comm. it supposedly made an appointment for service (did not confirm with me) and hung up! I tried calling back right away, then started the endless hold times, after 1hr and 40 mins. I actually spoke to someone, the CSR (customer service Rep.) said I had an appoint with a local service company, she gave me a name & tel #. I called no answer, got an answering service, gave me a cell number to call, the cell did not answer or have a VM set up to leave a message! I started calling back 2 days later and 2.5 hrs more of hold time, spoke with more CSR's and a 2 Supervisors, was promised call backs, (NOTHING)! I was rudely spoken to by a (Authorization) person, whi I had to call to get approval to have my own service comp. come and look at my System, (my service person was on the call with me) as the Auth. person was Sarcastic and Rude, so this process of a claim has been 8 business days and I have been lied to and ignored, hung up on. I have no heat and its the middle of November> what the hell is with this Company/, My advise do not call them do not write a contract with them, go anywhere else you can. I'm Done!

Filed this claim a month ago and after 2 weeks finally got a repairman out who said the machine was gone. Now another two weeks and hours on hold still no machine. Customer service is terrible, feel like I am being purposely ignored. Will not recommend this company to anyone, a waste of the $3500.00 I have paid them in the last five years.

My brother told me about TotalProtect and it seemed TotalProtect had a good deal so I went with them. Submitting a claim is very simple and it was a very efficient experience. I call them and give my number then the claims rep contact people to go out to the property. Their reps were prompt and courteous. The lady that I interacted with was professional and answered all my questions. Their technicians were good. They told me what I needed and I paid my deductible. I was out of town when they went so I had somebody else to look for me but I got the invoice and everything that they gave me. Everything was fine. TotalProtect did an excellent job and I got excellent customer service.

My fiancé and I bought our home this summer. We purchased a premium upgrade warranty through HMS when we signed our contract. In early October when we noticed our air was not cool, I filed a claim on the 12th. A technician came out on the 13th and sent his report to HMS that same day, as well as the following Monday. This is our only unit for our home. After calling and following up many, many times, and receiving different stories each time, I was told my claim was stuck in the research department. It stayed there for 2 weeks. Meanwhile, I keep reminding HMS that the temperatures are dropping here in VA, and that we have no heat in our home until this is fixed. Mind you, we also do not have a fireplace. On the 1st of November, the parts are finally ordered with a promise of arriving in 3-5 business days.

My refrigerator has not been repaired since October 23, 2017. October 27, 2017 technician evaluated refrigerator, said, the parts need to ordered and will be available in 7-10 days. November 3, 2017 called Cross Country, October 31, 2017, authorization was sent to service provider (Appliance Service Plus), I was on hold for 1.5 hours to receive that information from customer service. November 6, called service provider, parts cannot be ordered, called Cross Country to get status, on hold 1.5 hours, told them what service provider stated, they said service provider will need to call them. Called corporate office talked with case management (Megan) said she was sorry. Parts will be ordered.

I got a booklet that said what HMS Home Warranty would do and that if I had a problem, I could call them and they'd come. When I filed a claim, I called them on the phone and the techs were all very friendly and polite and they took care of the problem. HMS has been good, they came when they were supposed to and the job was finished.

I have been with TotalProtect Home Warranty for 10 years and my experience with them has been very convenient and very smooth. My recent claim went fine. They came and checked the AC unit, found the problem, and then rectified it. Their technicians were very good.

On Monday, November 13, 2017, I attempted to call Total Protect to check on an existing claim. I placed the call at 2:30 P.M. One hour later I hung up after being on hold the ENTIRE SIXTY MINUTES!! This is not the first time this has happened. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT TOTAL PROTECT IS NON-EXISTENT!! I will be canceling my subscription with them as soon as this claim is completed!!

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR OVER ONE MONTH TO HAVE REPAIRS COMPLETED ON KITCHEN APPLIANCES. WAIT ON LINE FOR OVER 1 TO 2 HOURS TO GET ANY ASSISTANCE. THEN JUST LIP SERVICE. I AM A REALTOR AND THIS IS THE WORSE WARRANTY COMPANY THAT I HAVE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH, THEY ARE QUICK TO GET YOUR BUSINESS BUT WHEN SERVICE IS REQUIRED THEY GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND WITH NO ONE TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM!!!

I’ve been with TotalProtect a number of years. It was the one that was offered through our bank. They’re a good way to avoid large bills. Submitting a claim has been pretty easy. Recently, though, we've found it's a little difficult to get a person on the phone and we're dealing with answering machines instead. That’s just within the last weeks. We have never gotten anyone on the phone. We tell them what the problem is on the answering machine, they call a company and the company calls us and comes out and takes care of the problem. So far, everything we've done has been very good.

I was preparing to sell my home and my realtor suggested HMS Home Warranty. Submitting a claim was easy as it could be done online and the tech was very responsive to phone calls. He came on time and he was amazing, awesome and so meticulous. He always explained to me what he was doing, what was going on and how long things were taking. He went above and beyond so I highly recommend him. Also, the quality of the work was fantastic. One of my co-workers had a negative experience but he managed to resolve it. But I was very happy that mine was very pleasant and very very smooth. It was perfect.

We had just bought a brand new home and TotalProtect was offered by the bank. Submitting a claim with them has been pretty smooth. When I call, they ask me questions and I answer it short and sweet. The techs that they’ve sent were wonderful. There was one incident when a tech was supposed to do something that he didn’t do. But when his next check came out, they fixed it. So everything was fine. TotalProtect is an awesome service for the working people.

I got an advertisement in the mail from TotalProtect and I read their booklet. I liked what they offered, what they do and what they pay. They explained everything so I decided to go with them and I'm glad I did because I've used them three times. When you call a professional, for them to come and to give you an estimate, it costs you. And then sometimes they come and even if they can’t fix it, you still have to pay them. With TotalProtect, when you have appliances and things like that breakdown, it's much better to pay $100 and the rest they take care of it. When I submit a claim to them, they get on it right away. I would do it over the phone and I would be able to speak with a person. The people there are very nice and the technicians that come out call me when they're almost here. The quality of their work is excellent and awesome, and I'm very happy with TotalProtect.

I've had TotalProtect for about five months and so far, so good. I filed a claim over the phone and everybody was great. It didn't take long and they were very helpful. The claim was for a pipe that was corroded that led into our bathroom. They only had to replace one small part of it, and they took care of it all in one shot. The tech came in, did his thing, and he was very professional. I was pleased with how easy filing a claim was. It’s very consumer-friendly, and it seems to work. I had a great experience with TotalProtect, and I would recommend them.

HMS Home Warranty came with the house when I bought it. It's difficult for me to submit a claim with them because I can't do it through the web. I live in an area with a zip code that is split between two different areas of my state and HMS tend to group me with technicians from outside of my area so they won't service me. So I have to call in and tell them not to send somebody from the Washington D.C. area because they won't come out. I also have to tell HMS that they've got to give me someone from Baltimore and ignore the fact that my ZIP code says that it’s part of Maryland. So, that's a big frustration.

I call total home and they sent out a tech who charged me 45.00 and then never sent in a quote. I called him back and he refused to answer my calls. I called Total and they sent me three more companies that never showed up. Now they wanted me to find someone. Every one I called refused to work with Total home Warranty and now they have refused to refund my money even though they couldn't supply the service they sold me. Stay away There is a big problem when other companies will not work for you.

We recently bought a new home and so we asked the owners for a home warranty and they bought HMS for us. We’ve had to submit three claims. The first two went smoothly, and the third was a total headache. Every time that anything’s happened, I haven’t been 100% certain whether or not it’s covered by HMS so I have always wanted to call in and speak to somebody in person. The reps are friendly and they’re quick to respond. They’re not always right but we have gotten everything solved.

Some of the appliances don’t hold together like they used to, so I took a little advantage of the protection from TotalProtect Home Warranty and get a little better deal if something happened to the appliances. I called in a claim early morning because I ended up walking to the kitchen into a puddle of water. I got a chance to talk to somebody very fast and their rep was helpful. She explained everything that was going to happen and she said that it will take three days.

I’ve been in this home for about 17 years and I’ve been with TotalProtect for close to 15. They stand behind their warranties and I have always been very pleased with their professionalism and their speed of getting things taken care of. There was one time when they questioned something but they seemed to make it right. I recently had some plumbing issues and they were right on it. Before that, it was a garage door opener. They are very polite and they hook me up with people who tend to be of the quality of service.

I placed a claim with them on 11-8 and received confirmation via email on 11-10 that a service provider will be visiting my home on 11-10 to service my furnace. Imagine my surprise when I called the service provider and they had no records of my appointment. They stated that this happen all the time and that the warranty company never contact them to make them aware of the appointment.

I just purchased a house and received the HMS warranty, courtesy of the seller about a month ago. Within 2 weeks, I see that my water heater is sitting in a pan filled with water. I think that I'm in pretty good shape since I have the warranty, so I give them a call and pay the $100 deductible. They send out a plumber who confirms I need a new water heater tank and pan replacement. He tells me there will be non covered charges, but I can go over his findings with the warranty company to verify coverages, but the water heater is fully covered. So I can to follow up on the claim, and they tell me that it is going to cost me several hundred dollars out of pocket. I questioned some of the charges and requested a supervisor, since the reps could not do much more than tell me what was on the paper in front of them. The request went in on a Monday, but by Thursday, I still had not received the return call promised.

I have been trying to get my air conditioner looked at. It is leaking water on my hardwood floors. I called on a Sunday evening and was told someone would be at my house on the next morning. No one showed up. Called back and said no one came and was told it was a scheduling problem and they would be here Tuesday. No one showed. I was reassigned to another company and was hoping they would come Wednesday. Was told they didn’t get the assignment until late and they couldn’t make it until Thursday. The repair person called Thursday and said they probably wouldn’t make it since they were assigned 4 places to go in three different states. So another no show. Friday I called him, but no answer. I called Total Protect again, but they didn’t really have any other providers in my area, so they are suppose to have him call me this weekend to set up something for Monday. This whole thing has been a tragedy in incompetence not to mention the hold times to even talk to someone. I was on hold for an hour and a half on day before I finally gave up and hung up. The wait times have been between 30-45 minutes the other times I had to call them. So after a week I still have the A.C. problem and I am upset and stressed out by all of this. I wonder if any of the other Home Warranty Companies are this disorganized and lacking contractors?

I had home warranty coverage through my home purchase. I had a heating issue due to a furnace malfunction. I contacted HMS to set-up an appointment and it took 5 minutes to get claim number (automated claim filling). Someone was supposed to come next day from 8 am to 12 pm. But No one showed up. I called HMS and I was on hold for more than AN HOUR; they gave me technician's number to contact him. I called him and he said his truck broke down, therefore he was not able to make it. I called back HMS and I was on HOLD for another HOUR or so.

We chose TotalProtect Home Warranty because of the coverage. The last time that we submitted a claim, my husband wasn't very pleased because it was all automated and was annoyed that he didn't get a real person. However, the contractor that they set us up with showed up on time and the service was great. The guy was really thorough, friendly and helpful as well.

I could not recommend TotalProtect. They seem to be a company too big to be effective. If all customers were treated in this manner, they would be out of business. It’s been over 2 months and we want to know a REAL status and accurate timeline for resolution. Accurate bad news is better than platitudes read from a script, at least we’d know our dryer status. I would not recommend this company.

The first two times that we filed a claim with HMS Home Warranty were good. We had to get our sump pump fixed and HMS was great. They sent an electrician out to look at the wiring, but then the electrician told us that nothing was broken. We were going through inspection, so it wasn’t covered by them. We went ahead and paid full price, but they gave us a good electrician to come out.

I looked up what TotalProtect offered and then I took it. I submitted a claim over the phone and the wait time was reasonable. The reps were helpful and respectful, and they did their best to find what I need. The technicians that they sent out have been fine but I only had one scenario where it was very unprofessional. I had plumbing that they looked at, and they left and were blaming my parents for not understanding. It wasn't really good handling but it was only that one time. It was dragging and a waste of time, yet it still wasn't resolved, and I ended up getting somebody else to fix it. TotalProtect is a decent company and I have a good plan with them, and everybody's trying to find a way how to resolve the problem. It's business and they do their best, and I recommend them.

Submitting claims to HMS Home Warranty has been good. The easiest way for me so far was through the phone. I have logged into my account online just to view the status of claims and to get a feel for what information I can pull on my particular contract online. I have filed several claims as just about every appliance in this house was broken or needed something. I have made several calls, as well as followed up or changed appointments, and all but one time has been pleasant. It’s been a good experience. With all the different claims that I’ve filed, the technicians had to come back once for one of the appliances. But everything’s been good for the most part.

Have had this company for two years. Everything great until our air conditioner started leaking. First provider they sent me was TERRIBLE. Had negative reviews online and when I called back to ask for a different provider, they refused. So I let the provider charge my system and the issue resurfaced. This started in August, the provider says there needs to be parts ordered and now it is November with no parts ordered or installed. I have spent the last two days on hold and on the phone with HMS with their claims department. They have reassigned the case to three other providers, two no longer deal with HMS anymore because of their business practices and the third was the original provider! I have asked repeatedly to speak to a manager/supervisor and they refuse, telling me a manager cannot do anything. REALLY? Save yourself HOURS and use your own reputable service providers. It's not worth it.

The process for submitting a claim is relatively easy. Cross Country has a 24/7 call number. We call them and they get right on it. There are nine items that is covered which are the electrical system, the plumbing system, the heating system, the washer and dryer, the water heater, the air conditioner system, the garbage disposal, the ceiling fan, and the garage door opener. So far, everything has been okay because whenever I had a problem with the air conditioning, they’re always Johnny-on-the-spot. The garbage disposal went out once and they came and repaired it right away. They just did the water heater and they did it in a timely fashion, and everything went well with that. They came back a day or two to make sure that everything was working and that it wasn’t leaking. It was a good service.

It’s difficult when you’re by yourself. I can’t handle the plumbing and the air-conditioning. I know a lot about plumbing and air-conditioning because I retired from construction and commercial management in California and Texas, so I’m familiar with the pipes, air-conditioner, air handlers, etc, but I’m not in a position to go up and climb up into the attic and start working on the air-conditioning. It’s very important to me to have a company that I can call up and know that I have a tenant that’s coming in to my other house. And it’s important to me to know that when they come out, they handle the issue. I don’t have to call back and somebody else has to come out and all of that.

HMS has been great. Submitting a claim has been, so far, so good and I haven’t had that many in the 12 years that I had the house. I’ve used them maybe three times and the repair work has always been completed and satisfactory. The techs who had been sent out were okay. They got their $100 right away, but one didn’t even do anything and got $100. I had an issue with renewing the warranty two years ago where I didn’t want to renew because of financial problems and the dude said he would put me on the monthly payment that I’m on now. He said that if I upgraded, my deductible would only be $35 so I said I’ll take it. Now it's $100 and I don’t recall getting a notification that the deductible went up on me.

I filed a claim to have my HVAC unit fixed. HMS has told me that the claim is in the "Research" department. Meanwhile a cold front is moving into Baltimore and we have no heat. HMS said they have escalated the situation to where the HVAC company can purchase the part, it doesn't need to be purchased by HMS. I told the HVAC Company this and he was not pleased that this is now his responsibility to purchase this part up front. I told him that I would pay for it if he could just please install it in the home so my tenants have heat. It has been 6 days since I filed a claim and the claim is in the "Research" department and I'm going to need to buy the part myself and get it to the HVAC company. HMS is no good.

Do not use HMS for your home warranty unless you want horrible customer service including being on hold for hours on end literally. My wife and I bought a house 6 months ago and used them given it was in place. Our furnace went down more than two weeks ago now. It took them a few days to get someone out to look at it. It then took them a few more days to "authorize" the part and another week for the agency they are contracted with to come out. Once they came out (15 days later) then realized that they need another part. So they need to authorize that too - at least another week. And temperatures are down in the 20s in the evening. I complained several times to a supervisor. But nothing has been done. And every time I call it's at least a "20 minute" wait due to "high call volume" although in reality it is about an hour wait. If you have a choice then use someone else.

I tried for over a month to cancel my warranty. Could not get them to answer even after holding for over 90 minutes. Once I did talk to someone, they informed me I was on a contract and because I was canceling early, I would have to pay for any claims made in during this year of the contract. I have been a customer for 8 years. Never again.

I have been using TotalProtect Home Warranty since the mid 80's. Submitting a claim is easy. I call the claims department and they issue a claim number, then I get an email telling me who is going to do it then they'll contact me. The claims reps were very friendly and very thorough and the techs who came had been very professional and very responsive to my needs. The quality of work was perfect and they've taken care of all my problems.

It's easy to call HMS Home Warranty for claims and my interactions with their reps have been very pleasant. The techs who are sent out are very professional and they get the job done. HMS is a great thing and it gives me a lot of peace of mind.

The home protection has serviced my needs financially and I was looking for an insurance to supplement what I got it for. I went online and TotalProtect was one of the first ones that came up, and I thought that was what I needed. A friend of mine was not satisfied with the insurance that she had, not TotalProtect, so I decided that to try another one and went with TotalProtect. However, every claim that I've filed was never covered. One experience I had was the claim for the air condition. When the people came out to estimate, the guy quoted me an exorbitant price. He had to bring up all his tiling because I have a lot of ceramics and he had to redo all that over to get to the pipe on the line.

Everything's been good with Cross Country - from coverage to the reps to the technicians. I can call them up every time I need them. I have submitted a claim the other day. The water heater was making a lot of noise but they said nothing’s broke. I was afraid something can happen to the boiler and do damage in the house. Somebody came and it was changed here today.

My air-conditioner went out. I called HMS Home Warranty on Saturday night and they had somebody there around Monday noon. He was awesome and friendly. He was right on time, too. It cost $100 for a $20 part but it's all good. HMS is very good and very efficient.

Below is a timeline of what I'm going thru with respect to getting heat in my home due to an unsafe furnace: Friday, 3 Nov: Had a previously scheduled furnace tune-up with Airtron. I scheduled the tune-up once we closed (Oct 12th) on the purchase of the house but set the date for a few weeks out due to moving and work commitments. Unfortunately, I had to leave town unexpectedly for a death in the family so I was not home when they stopped by but my mother-in-law was there for me.

I signed up with TotalProtect Home Service Plan on 10/23/17 and have until 11/23 to review the contract. I had some questions and I tried calling customer service yesterday to get some answers. I was holding for 25 minutes before hanging up. I tried again today and while I am writing this review I was on hold for 55 minutes before customer service answered. The Lady was very nice, but I told her about my hold time and that it concerned me. Therefore I told her I wanted to cancel my contract. I really would hate to have a real emergency and have to hold for this this long. I am giving Customer Service just one star and not for the Rep Herself but for the hold time.

On 10/23 they sent out a service person to look at my A/C system the technician said it was a coil leaking he sent all the info that night. Since then I have had to call the 1800 5 times with wait times on the phone as long as 55 min. waiting on someone to answer the phone. shortest time 38 min. I continue to get the run around about getting the ok and the part to the service tech. I being told it is in research I even told them this is my 2nd floor where I sleep and is causing medical issues and there response was to call back in 48 hours . They will not return my calls when they say they will and this has been 3 weeks with as much as 90 degree weather.over 85 degrees on that floor. At one point they told me that the service tech rejected the particular coil that is needed and wanted another. I have asked some service tech about this and was told that the service person wants to get addition payment from me because Total protect does not pay for modification . I have checked for the coil that is made to go in my system and it is ready available as the company that I bought is here in Houston area and another service tech that I know said that this one would be a clean exchange and should not require any modications also a 5 year warranty on the part. As of today 11/7 I still have had no response !

Rec'd this warranty as part of home purchase - in a word, they suck!! First contact - assigned Provider has a TON of negative reviews (multiple sites and BBB) and other company (after we declined them) is a known Provider who did more damage than repair to our neighbor (and thus the neighbor had to get an attorney to get things fixed; I tried a follow up and it appears they are out of Business - phone is "disconnected"). Have made multiple calls requesting someone with good references - we are 5 minutes from Cincinnati and yet HMS says they have NO ONE else they can refer - Really?!? They refuse to look into neighboring Cincinnati OH or Florence KY.

Submitting a claim to HMS Home Warranty was very easy. We put our claim in online and they gave us a number for a plumber. The plumber was out very quickly, did the job very fast and got everything done, and it was easy to pay. Also, my interaction with the techs that came to service my appliance was perfect. They were very professional and everything was taken care of.

TotalProtect was outstanding. I call them when I am submitting a claim because I'm not that good with computers. It's very easy. The claims reps, technicians and their quality of work have always been great. I've had several claims with them over the past seven years and I never had a problem with them. I referred TotalProtect to my family members and to others because most people haven't even heard of appliance insurance like that. Now, they're a member with TotalProtect too.

I have been without water for 2 days now. This company has an average 45 minute wait time for answering phone calls. I have an 81 year old uncle living with me. A neighbor has temporarily been able to get cold water working so that we can flush the toilet. They sent someone this morning to assess the problem, but have not approved the work yet. My basement has now flooded twice. I just contacted the company sent this morning, and now even if approved sometime today - they will not be able to return until tomorrow, making it 3 days!

The inspector told me that the house was fantastic and in great shape, and that everything in the house was original, and that if I bought the house I needed to keep the home warranty in service, so I did. Submitting claims with HMS Home Warranty, which I do either online or over the phone, has been an excellent experience. The claims reps have been very helpful and responsive. I've also had a very good experience with the technicians. My concern is that one of my HVAC units is going to fail because there's no coolant in it, but the service person didn’t want to submit the claim for the unit to be replaced because he thought HMS would deny the claim until the cold weather came. Going into spring of next year, I would be facing another repair bill and some period of time with no air conditioning. It's irritating to know that’s coming, but it's the claims process which makes this necessary, so it's an insurance issue.

I’ve been with TotalProtect for many years and we’ve had several projects that they’ve gotten done - a dishwasher, a floor, an air conditioning system, a refrigerator, etc. When submitting a claim, the process and customer service have always been fine. They have a procedure and if you do that procedure, someone gets in contact with whoever is going to fix it. Most of the companies that they choose are companies that I am familiar with. They are all locals and they’ve always done what they are supposed to do to successfully fix the problem. And that’s all you can ask for.

We've had HMS Home Warranty since August. It came with the house that we bought. I submitted a claim online, which was very easy, for our air conditioning unit outside that stopped working. Once I submitted my claim, they got back to me right away with who to contact. I contacted them and they came out the same day. So, I was pretty impressed because it was very direct and there was no runaround. The technician was very good, polite and worked quickly. He explained everything, too. Our experience was very good, and we're very satisfied. And if we'd have any other problems, and they'd go as smoothly as the latest one, we'll definitely renew.

We had a two year old house in Carolinas and it had two air conditioning units. One of them went out, so I had to put out $12,000 and I found that TotalProtect would have covered it. If the other unit goes off, we wouldn't be able to handle it. We started with TotalProtect so we wouldn't have to come out with the money, but it never went out. In the last six months, I've had a second claim in our current house. We don't use our basement often, but when we had company, somebody made a comment about the toilet. When I sit on it, I can feel it rocking. We have company coming this year, so my husband said somebody has check it. I called TotalProtect and one day afterwards, they sent out a contractor who said it's a builder problem and TotalProtect won't cover it.

I had called HMS Home Warranty to place a claim on my clothes washer. The company Protec came out to evaluate the issue and I paid the $100.00 claim fee. The technician told me the bearings were bad and he was confident I wouldnt have an issue getting either repair approval or replacement. He sent me a receipt saying bearings are bad but nothing more in the description. Two weeks went by and no call from HMS to follow up. When I called them they said the claim is denied because the bearings most likely went bad from someone tampering with the washer to in order to call in a claim and not from normal wear and tear. They even placed the blame on Protec saying that reason for the deny came from them and not HMS. So basically they are accusing customers of fraud with no proof. They are scammers. Horrible customer service. I'll be reporting them to the BBB and possibly Protec once I speak with them as well.

We've been with HMS Home Warranty for five months. My dryer broke and they sent out a Sears technician and it was absolutely wonderful. The experience was very good overall.

I had TotalProtect about seven years ago and then I dropped them and then I went back to them again. The reason I jumped the first time was that the people they sent out here could hardly speak English and they're Latin descent. They spoke broken English and Spanish and I couldn’t understand what they're trying to tell me. In the last episode I had with them, I had some rumbling in my water pipes. Every time I turned the water on, I heard a rumbling and vibration in my pipes no matter if I turned on the shower or I used the kitchen sink.

I called TotalProtect Home Warranty only to get the annual free service for my air conditioner, which is covered under my warranty, but the techs found an issue. So they went back and wrote it up. We’re working to fix the issue and I was getting ready to call them to schedule the service. But they told me about an uncovered charge for my air conditioner and it caught me by surprise because I didn’t know it existed.

We bought a house and the person who sold it to us gave us a one year home warranty through HMS. We've been with HMS for a little over a year, and it saved us a ton of money because every single thing inside of the house was broken. Submitting a claim has usually been pretty easy. I can do it online which makes it a little less time consuming, but everyone over the phone has been easy to work with, too.

I am not happy with Cross Country Home Services at all. I had another warranty provider before and Cross Country is pretty much in need of a lot of training because they get overwhelmed. If you call them, you're on hold for 20 minutes. I went through a frustrating period with them where I had some repairs that needed to be made to my gas-fired heating system and it took over a month to get it done. When I called Cross Country, they gave me the impression that they were right on top of everything. Whether I’d file a claim through their website or I’d call, somebody would answer sometimes while other times, I would have to wait. Cross Country’s central dispatch system didn’t have enough circuits and people. What would happen if it gets chilly here in Rhode Island? That's no time to have a breakdown and depend on Cross Country to get someone here who knows what they’re doing.

I placed a claim request for service of my furnace that has not worked for 1 week. The temps range 30 - 52 degrees. Could not get a vendor out to work over the weekend when I called on Friday afternoon. When the first vendor came out, I paid my $125 service fee; the fix lasted 30 minutes before the furnace stopped working and it's cold again. The first vendor came out the next day and said the furnace needs a new motor and would get approval for the furnace and come out the next day to install. Next day comes and when I called the vendor they say they are not coming out. No call, no explanation why not, but that I should call HMS Home Warranty. I WAS ON HOLD FOR 1 HOUR+, then assigned a new, second vendor and told my new service fee would be waived since I paid it to the first vendor. The second vendor came to my property and gave a new reason why the furnace did not work, but wanted another service fee.

I had 2 claims, which I submitted during my vacation week in the hope of having repairs made while I was off work. Easy to submit a claim online... VERY hard to get service. Received 2 emails back promptly letting me know I should schedule with the preferred provider. First provider was very nice, but stated he would not be able to come to look at the water heater the same day, but would get back with me during the week... 3 days later, no one has looked at my water heater yet. 2nd claim was for a dishwasher that is holding water, email said to call Sears, Sears said to call Cross Country warranty, which I thought was weird, since MY warranty is with HMS.

We had home warranty coverage through our home purchase. I initial experience was with electrical issue in which our outlet were sparking. He contacted HMS and they set up an appointment for Whitney Electric and Plumbing to come out for assessment. My wife and I had to rearrange work schedule to assessment. They never showed up (our expense being inconvenience of this plus lost time at which we could have been at work) and when we called HMS after being on hold for over thirty minutes the representative I spoke with said they had no record of our initial claim.

We got a home warranty just in case anything happened during our first year. We wanted to make sure we had some type of warranty that would cover us for any repairs or things I might need to get done. My real estate agent recommended HMS and I really trusted her. Submitting a claim was sort of easy in a sense that I know the number to call. But it was really trying at one point to try to get to a human being. It was helpful in the sense that it was automated, but because I had specific questions as far as, if it was covered or if it would be considered electrical or something else, it was more difficult to find a person to get those questions answered. When I manage to get a rep on the line, they allow me to patiently try to explain what the issue is and help me find the best company to help with that issue.

When our air-conditioning unit started tripping the breaker, I called Cross Country to submit a claim and make an appointment for someone to come out. The people there were very good and helpful and tried to do their job. However, the people that they sent were rejects and I’m not pleased them. The rep told me it would be $125 for the service call and I questioned that. My wife was not informed that the cost increased from $84 to $125. I asked him to give me a receipt and he said he had no way to give one, so I told him to charge it to my account and I would pay it when the bill comes in. But my wife said that’s not the way it works so I gave him my wife’s debit card. They scanned it through their machine and it showed that I paid $125. Also, he told us that we had too much Freon and it was fixed, but it wasn’t.

I saw an advertisement and my friend told me she had TotalProtect too. It has been over a year since we had TotalProtect and I like the quality of their service. They are great. I have made a claim and it was taken care of. The technician was very nice too. I would recommend TotalProtect.

I'm pleased with Cross Country Home Services. They have been prompt in providing me people that took care of my minor problems. I've submitted a claim online and through the phone and prefer submitting a claim online. I have a hard time hearing on the phone and I'm old. It was $84 deductible when I went with them and it's a $100 now. Even so, I'm satisfied with the coverage and plan that I have.

We've used HMS Home Warranty a lot and we always submit our claim by phone. Their reps are always really polite, friendly and helpful. I've never talked to someone who was rude. Plus, they set it up with the techs right away. They make it easy. The techs are alright. We've had one that was really good and then a couple who were not that great, but it wasn't anything so terrible that I felt I needed to call and complain. And I wouldn't see that as a reflection of the warranty company.

My husband called TotalProtect and asked from them assistance for our house. Most of the time the claims representatives were very nice and respectful on the phone. Nobody was mean, angry or ugly. There usually is a live person to talk to which I think is really important in today’s world because so often so many services now you just pick up the phone and you just deal with an answering machine rather than a person. Also for the most part all the people have been good with repairs. In the last year I remember that the people we've had to come out were very good. But it took a long time to find somebody that could deal with our Italian stove. But other than that the work has been great. I've also recommended TotalProtect to a friend.

I am working with this total protect company fix my AC airflow issues this year, I have very poor airflow, My system is like a machine, which is not efficient at all. As we speak am on call with them since an hour. Without my consent Hopefully someone will get this addressed. Also, Earlier also they sent few technicians, charged me service fee, no fix at all, saying mechanically works, A company came here and checked told me furnace needs to be replaced, and sent invoice, they are telling 3 more weeks to review. Very poor service. In june I disputed and total protect agreed my own inspection, so hopefully they will approve, otherwise i need the legal advice. Last year outside unit was replaced, and the there was blast test, they mentioned there is no leakage in duct, so it is not duct issue at all in my opinion. Something terribly bad going, total protect needs get this resolved.

Very disappointed. Moved into our new house 5 months ago. We had our furnace inspected before moving in and it appeared functional. Went to turn On the furnace and it’s broken. HMS sent their guys out who confirmed 2 huge cracks in the heat exchanger. Dangerous to use!!! "No problem," I thought, "We have a home warranty. The home warranty cost $600 so for sure we’re ok on coverage." Began receiving bids. You can imagine my surprise when HMS only offered us $700. The bottom of the line furnace you can get costs $2700. This is highway robbery and absolutely unacceptable. Never been so disappointed in a companies customer service. They are ripping people off and consumers need to be aware.

We got HMS Home Warranty through our real estate agent when we bought our home, which is older and had older appliances. It's very easy to submit a claim and I've done it over the phone. Also, everybody who I've dealt with has been very professional. The only negative that I have in all of my transactions with HMS was that it seems to take a very long time between the time I call and the time I actually get everything completed.

The Cross Country policy was a better deal and in over the 10 years I've had them, the relationship's been good. They've been efficient and the customer service has been excellent. There is quick resolution to problems and no long wait time. I have been on hold a couple of times after the service guy has come out to get paid but that's the only delay and that hasn't been so bad. Other than that, I'm very satisfied. With the few service calls that I've had, there wasn't any hassle. I had a problem with the air conditioning once and they resolved it. It got hot but everything worked out good as far as the turnaround time for the actual repair. I've had some friends who had issues with their homes as well, and I highly recommended Cross Country because it would have helped them.

I have TotalProtect for years now. There have been a couple of times when the air conditioner has been out and TotalProtect has been quick, but the problem is when it's 100 and some degrees out and they give me the chance to contact somebody local, it doesn't work out so well because I can't find somebody. Some of the technicians are friendly and some of them not so much, but they've fixed whatever the issue is. The only problem right now is that I'm going to cancel the service because it has gotten too expensive.

We submitted a claim for a water heater that went off. The HMS Home Warranty reps were prompt and our interaction with them was smooth. Somebody came the next day but it took forever to get the actual water heater in. It had to be ordered and it took a little over a week before we had hot water. We had all our kids here for the long weekend so nobody had any hot water. We were not happy campers. The contractor said HMS doesn't consider it an emergency. I asked if they could get it somewhere locally instead of ordering it and the warranty company could pay for it. But the contractor said that wasn't how it worked. Also, HMS covered the water heater and the labor but they didn't cover the $160 permit, the expansion tank and the removal. But when the contractor finally showed up to get the heater put in, they got it done fairly quickly and everything seem to be okay with it.

Our Cross Country Home Services warranty was bought for us when I got the house. I've been quite pleased with them and their reps have never been bad, except for when I called yesterday to renew. I stayed on the phone for about 30 minutes and I talked to someone who got my information and told me to hold on but I never got anybody to talk with. Also, I have submitted my claims over the phone and it seemed to be lengthy but our claims have been resolved so I'm cool with that. Having them available is a good thing to have in the event of problems. I would tell a friend to consider Cross Country.

Cross Country Home Services came with the home when I got it and I have their whole package. So far, they came out and worked on my air conditioner, washer and dryer. The technicians they sent were accommodating but I felt a little down when they came out to fix something and told me they could do it in about a week. But a week later, they still couldn't work on it. Besides that, they've been pretty fair. Cross Country should also handle things a little differently as far as how they go about the claims process because after I call them, it takes them a while to take action. While there are some stuff that I don't have like a swimming pool, my plan is still the best. I have recommended them to people.

Having an HMS home warranty has worked for me, so I’ve kept it all these years. It was transferred to me by the previous homeowner when I bought my house. Submitting a claim was very easy. I used to do this over the phone and the claim reps were good, professional and courteous. I had good interactions with them and I never had any problems. I file claims online now and the process is easy as well since the website is user-friendly. All of the technicians who have come out here were professional and on time. The quality of the work they performed was good and they fixed my problem. I tell all my friends that they need to get a home warranty when things happen and they don’t have one. I enjoy and appreciate having a home warranty, and I would recommend HMS Home Warranty.

We needed a home warranty because of the age of our home. We had American Home Shield but I started hearing a whole bunch of bad things about them and everybody I talked to was not happy. I even talked to some of the service people who used to work for them and they weren’t happy with AHS either. Not too long after that, our mortgage company told us about TotalProtect Home Warranty. It seemed like they offered a better plan for the money than whatever else we’ve looked at before so we switched. Everything about their claims process seemed to be straightforward. I’ve had zero problems contacting, getting a claim started and having things taken care of. They made it as easy as possible.

I am upset with HMS because I had a problem with the toilet. They had a plumber come out and he looked at it. He said that it was an existing issue then charged me $65. I sent the copy of my home inspection and it shows that it was not. How would he know if it’s existing when he just walked in, walked out and did absolutely nothing? I won’t do business with that guy anymore. They contacted me by email but I just don’t want to be bothered by them. I’m tired of following up with people so I just had someone come in and fix it. The men that came, all but that plumber, were very nice because they were from A&E. I’ve used A&E even in Connecticut and they’re a reputable company. And I hope, if someone calls, HMS believes the consumer.

My first time calling in to use my coverage was yesterday, I called in to the company they wanted me to use and was given the run around. Called back a couple of times and was told to wait for her to call me back that they had a emergence and the tech had not called her for an update where he was at. In the meantime my water heater is still leaking and I'm trying to keep it from getting to my carpet and padding, I'm looking to find another provider for my services I can't afford to use a company this sorry to help its customers.

We got TotalProtect Home Warranty for a couple of years. Filing a claim was painless since I went online and then I got a call right away from the company that was going to come to the house and check our problems. The technicians were good. Once, a wonderful gentleman came and checked our stove, fixed it all up, and the stove checked out fine. He said we needed a new breaker so I called the electrician and then they came and put a breaker in. Now, I had discontinued the service since the price went up a little bit. We’re getting ready to be on a fixed income because we’re getting ready to retire and having TotalProtect is another expense we can’t do. Still, I was truly satisfied with the experience when I made a claim.

I sell real estate and I know the different home warranty companies. HMS Home Warranty had a lower deductible when I was looking at that time and their price was a bit cheaper than most of the warranty companies so I went with them. HMS is a great home warranty to have since they do a great job and get claims resolved. I refer them to clients when they buy homes or when people ask me. I called HMS when I submitted a claim and whoever answered the phone inputted the claim and gave me the company to call. Then, I set up the appointment so the process was easy. Their reps did what they’re there for, the service was good but they didn't have to come back within the 90-day period so it's been a good experience.

Back in April, I filed a claim with AHS because my air conditioning wasn't working correctly. The contractors came out and gave me three pounds of Freon. It's what the invoice said and I paid them $800. But last month, my air conditioner stopped working again. I would have it set on 72 but it would be 76 degrees in the house and it couldn't go down to the temperature I wanted. I called Cross Country out again and I spoke with a young lady. I told her it was doing the exact same thing that it was doing back in April and though the reps were normally helpful and knowledgeable, she got snippy with me. She said that just because we have the same symptom doesn't mean it can't be something different.

I called Cross Country telling them what my issue was and they supplied me with a local service provider. I contacted that person, set up a scheduled time and had a plumber come by. Everything went according to plan, was smooth, and I felt very good about it. My plan also covers everything I have in my home, so I feel comfortable. I'm glad that I have it.

I was six months pregnant when we moved, and we wanted that first year that we were in our home to be worry-free. The real estate agent lined us up with HMS Home Warranty and we've had a couple of claims with them - the ice maker broke on the refrigerator, the latch broke on the dishwasher, the garbage disposal quit working completely, and the washing machine. We also had an electrical issue where power went out on a whole circuit that ended up being wired improperly. They caught something before it caught fire, so it was good. HMS saved our life.

This occurred in Apr 2016, less than 2 months from closing on a condo. Scene: Showering. When turning the water off, the plastic knob fell apart in my hand with the shower running. What to do? Was never shown the main valve shut-off location. Switched an identical knob from the other bath and got the water turned off. Called HMS and placed a claim. The plumbing service they sent (A Water Solution) glanced at the shower, went outside to his vehicle while on his phone the entire time, came back 10 minutes later and said the warranty was voided because I made a "modification" by switching the [identical] knob.

I’ve had HMS Home Warranty for a year and a half with my current house. It was the warranty that I had with my home and I renewed it. I used them on my other house and I never had a bad experience so I didn’t shop around for another provider and it seemed like a fair price and a fair deal. I like that I can go online to submit a claim or call to speak to somebody if I have questions about it. We have had a few plumbing issues since we moved in and we get people out right away to take a look at things. It’s been as easy as it can be. The most recent claim was the garbage disposal was leaking and rattling. It was not installed correctly and it was how I got the house, we didn’t have it installed.

I got Cross Country Home Services about six years ago when the mortgage company offered a plan where the cost could just be added to the mortgage fee monthly so I didn't have to get through with another payment. Six weeks ago, I called their customer service due to an air conditioner that was not cooling properly. And then, I called the service company that they told me to call but they said they couldn't do it because they were booked. So, I had to call back and get another one. I asked for a company that has come out several times. The quality of the repair was very good and they have fast service. So, I was very satisfied with them.

I had a mortgage with Country Life when TotalProtect's offer came in. Since then, I've been their client and I plan on staying with them. Some of my claims have gone well and my most recent one was for a washing machine. So far, everything's going fine. I usually request a certain appliance guy and the people coming out for the appliances were very good. But I have a big problem whenever they send a plumber. Since I've been with them for so long, sometimes I break the rules and that helps make the process go smoother because some of the people who came out were not good. All in all, I'd recommend TotalProtect.

I'm a single mother, on a fixed income because of permanent disability. With that picture in mind, I purchased our new home with the peace of mind that we had a home warranty. There has been NO peace of mind with this company, only wasted hours, stress and money. I have filed 2 claims now, with no resolution. The first time, I had water that was running constantly and the shut off would not work. It took them so long to assign a contractor and get back with me, I had already gone out, purchased the parts I needed and found someone to install them for me. I asked them if they would simply reimburse me the $25 I spent on parts. I was advised maybe. Now, the second claim which has led me to this complaint. My heat pump is not working properly. I contacted HMS 2 weeks ago.

BUYER BEWARE! We purchased a home two weeks ago that came with a home warranty from HMS. Per the inspection, they said it was in good working order but recommended that we have the furnace inspected by a HVAC company yearly being that it is 24yrs old. (Home Inspectors do not complete a full furnace inspection.) After moving in we called an HVAC tech to do the pre-winter inspection. Upon inspection they found cracks that were leaking carbon dioxide. The tech said is was unsafe to run and shut off all gas and power to the unit. We felt reassurance knowing that we had a Home Warranty. We immediately called HMS to file a claim. They took the claim and asked me call their preferred vendor to evaluate the situation. The vendor came out and agreed there were major problems and the unit was unsafe. He also found that the control panel was bad and wired improperly (we had no clue). They reported this problem back to HMS.

We moved into our new home in April and I started using HMS in July. Three weeks ago, we submitted a claim for the air conditioning system. The upstairs AC ran out of something they had to replace and then the bottom one totally went out. The second problem jumped in before the first one got taken care of but they were all air conditioning-related. I called HMS first, told them what was going on and they did a review. They checked the homeowner’s inspection report, did their process and then they called me back and said it’s been approved. They gave me the number of the person to contact and I called him. He came out, took care of it and his work was great. I'm perfectly happy with HMS. They took care of everything and as soon as I called, they followed up and kept close contact with me.

The previous homeowner had the policy with HMS Home Warranty when I bought my house and they offered it for the first year and I just continued it. Over the four years that I’ve had them, I’ve submitted about five claims. They were simple stuff like breaker switch and garbage disposal, and everything was fixed quickly. All of the service people and the companies were really accommodating and really good. They were efficient and never late. I really appreciate it when they offered the deductible plan where you pay a higher premium, but the deductible was lower. They had it for one year and then it suddenly stopped so I try to not use it because I had to pay that amount and then still have to pay $100 for something small. If they had the option, that would help me make a decision to continue year after year.

Cross Country is the only home warranty company I’ve ever used. They came in with a credit card statement and were the one I found available so I called and signed up with them. I contact them to place or follow up on a claim and 90% of their reps were friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. They've been very helpful and have always been right on time to get a serviceman out when anything breaks down. It's good to call somebody when I have trouble and I enjoy having it.

I have been contemplating to get a home warranty for a little while. My sister had one with TotalProtect and I went ahead and did it. Whenever I submit a claim, I did it online. They sent somebody and gave the number to call. The technician that they sent and the quality of work performed were both great.

I've had the house for a long time but Cross Country sent an offer one time along with the statements of my mortgage payments from Ditech and I decided it would be a good idea. Submitting a claim with them was all right. I did it online then I got a call from one of their contractors and they took care of everything. The customer reps were great and the technician that came out was all right. The first call, they came and look to see what the problem was with the water heater. It took them about a week since they had to get authorization for all the things and the warranty took care of everything. They said they'd call in 48 hours but it took them 72 hours to do that. But overall, the major things I was worried about were covered by Cross Country.

I bought a house in the year 2000 and HMS was offered to me. It was very easy to enroll with them. The reps were very helpful and got me the information I needed. They gave me the numbers, I called it in and got several e-mails about it. Also, the techs were both great. I had two different ones in the same day and they both fixed the problem right away and they were in and out. In fact, the guy who fixed my air conditioning found out what the real problem was. I had somebody look at it before and they couldn’t figure it out. HMS was very easy to deal with overall.

A friend told me he had TotalProtect and then I tried it and it was very easy to submit a claim and get someone. Every time I called them whoever they sent out did a wonderful job. However in the last experience that I had with them the rep was very rude and that took me off guard and made me mad. I’ve never encountered that from TotalProtect before. It might be the end of her day and she was having a bad day but she shouldn’t howl at me. But it was okay since I got the job done and a man came out and took care of the stuff.

I have been paying for my home warranty for approximately three months. I filed a claimed over a month ago from today's date 10/25/2017, and my problem has not yet been resolved. I am in constant communication with both Total Protect Home warranty and the company that was hired to provide service to fix my stove. The main problem is the lack of communication between all parties. Specifically, I am having to take time out of my work schedule to try get this matter resolved quickly. My claim consists of repairing a stove. Over a period of a month multiple parts have been ordered and sent back because a company is sending the wrong part or ordering the wrong part. Total Protect Home warranty and service technician have proved unreliable and unprofessional in handling my claim. No one is taking responsibility for the delay of parts and repair and I am becoming quite frustrated. To this date, my stove has yet to be repaired. I would like to warn any future customers that are considering purchasing warranty through Total Protect Home and advise them that this is not a reliable company.

I spent hours on hold each time I called to report a complaint with Total Protect. They referred me to MCE Plus for a service call to fix my leaky water heater and the service tech claimed my water pressure was 110 and it was 82. He also stated that Total Protect would not cover my water heater because of the water pressure being to high which it was not. My water heater was under warranty. Total Protect told me MCE Plus was an approved business and was one I had to use for service.

I have been paying these people for many years and hardly used their service. Every time I need them I have to pay a hefty deductible and be left dry. The latest is regarding our oven. We have been waiting for two months now to get it fixed, paid $125 and when technician finally arrived he had the wrong part in his hand also claiming that the part does not exist and we need replacement. When I call them, after waiting more than 20 minutes, they tell me that they have not yet received the technician report, even though I know they informed them. I am still waiting for a response. I have to weigh in my options.

I purchased my home new over 11 years ago and joined Total Protect family. Paid them for all those years. Hardly no claims at all. About a year ago, around Thanksgiving, my stove went out. They gave me the hardest time getting that stove replaced to have dinner for my family. I was in tears. Finally a very cheap one was sent but the amps were incorrect so I had to pay to get that changed in the home and also the stove does not fit in the cavity in the kitchen, for it does not have a hole to fit over the plug. So that has to be moved as well and paid for by myself. On this same claim was my top oven burners. They will get hot and sometimes they won't. They have been repaired several times. Going through the same thing. I have to push them in at times to get them to work. They didn't replace the top, only the bottom. Also in this claim was my dishwasher. The motor has went out that causes the water to drain at the end of the cycle. The tech that was sent put in his report that the dishwasher has a crack in it. Totally untrue. This is the design of my dishwasher. No crack at all. Total Protect did not send no supervisor out to check the work or anything. They simply denied the claim and I am here having to replace my own dishwasher. I cannot tell you how much this hurts. I trusted them. Paid them for over 11 years with hardly no claims at all. It is so much more to this story with this claim, from the very beginning...for I went through several technicians. The initial technician wrote the wrong diagnosis for both appliances and Total Protect sent out a second Tech...then a 3rd was called. I think I was going to have a Thanksgiving for my family. I am seeking legal now. So please if any Attorney out there that can help me please contact me. Because there is no way I can allow someone to do this to me and do nothing. I hurt to this day...

I've been with Cross Country Home Services since they were Residential MD Gold. I've been very happy with them, so I have no intention of leaving them. I have recommended them several times. I usually call in my claim and it’s pretty easy. The only thing that I have an issue with is they went up on my copay from $80 to $125.

I've had TotalProtect for quite a few years and when there was a leak in our kitchen faucet, I had that fixed through them. Their reps were great and the technician was good.

Submitting a claim to HMS Home Warranty was seamless and amazing. I turned in the claim over the phone and they reacted quickly. The lady who dealt with me took care of business. If there were a couple of things we aren’t sure of, she will get an answer and call me back. The HMS Home Warranty website is easy to navigate and it’s available to me now because I created an account. There was a mix-up with finding the right contractor because the air conditioning unit went down but they handled everything perfect. Once we decided what to do, they took care of everything. They did everything on time and the process took a few days.

Cross Country was the home warranty that the sellers purchased for this house. Claim submission was easy and my husband just goes online to do it. Their website is user-friendly, their coverage was fine and my dealing with their contractors was good. I would recommend them.

This company has very poor and inconsistent communication. I have left a poor review here before due to the same lack of timely and inconsistent communications. I have called recently to follow up on the status of my reimbursement claim for drywall repairs due to leaking plumbing line and still waiting to get accurate status of my reimbursement. I was given correspondence that my claim should have been processed no later than yesterday but now I am being told wait another week or two. For my sake I really hope I don't have any major repairs coming up soon because I have witnessed again I will not get a timely response. I was told that as long as my drywall repairs were under 1K, I should be reimbursed but when I call I'm told it is not reimbursable... What? The level of frustration here is beyond what anyone should have to constantly experience.

I’ve always had TotalProtect and submitting a claim is easy. They're wonderful and I have no problem with them. The service is great and after 25 years, that’s something. I love them and I recommend them to everybody all the time.

HMS Home Warranty was part of the contract of the house I purchased. I've been with them for two years and it feels like the service is efficient. I am from New York and this was the first time I dealt with a warranty program. HMS seemed like it was okay so I stuck with it. The customer service is great. If you have problems, they try to help out. Submitting a claim on the phone takes about two minutes. I call, they answer and they take the claim right away. The reps are courteous and they answer the questions. If they don’t know, they find out and they’re very helpful. The techs are excellent too. However, there was one time, they had to get the part that I needed. This was for a different condo because I own more than one. It took a while back and forth, trying to get the unit. HMS tried to help contact the people that we have to get the part in.

My wife and I are Realtors so we had used HMS Home Warranty for other clients and we use them too. Submitting a claim with them was pretty flawless. We do it online and over the phone. Their claim reps were nice, friendly and helpful and the technician they sent out was knowledgeable, courteous and respectful. I had two different claims recently and one of them is still pending. They led me to believe that it's covered even if they really don't know if it was going to be covered until a plumber looks at it. Then, the person who took the claim report set a clear expectation that it may not be covered, since it was a common thing that is never covered which I was not aware of.

We have had TotalProtect for about three years and submitting a claim with them is simple and easy. I get a call and then they tell us the contact to whoever needs to come and fix the problem. The contractor comes, finds out what the problem is and it works out fine. I got a call from somewhere along the line. They had to replace some equipment in our house and someone called to tell me what TotalProtect could do about it. It took me by surprise that they called me themselves instead of the technician relaying information. They were very nice and business-like, so they did a really good job. They did what they said they were gonna do and they were very cordial about it. It made me happy that everything got taken care of.

When I purchased my home, Cross Country Home Services was part of the USDA loan package and the bank where I purchased it paid for two years of the home warranty. Once the two years was up, I just continued it. Cross Country's customer service representatives contacted me to let me know that the warranty was coming to an end. They explained everything. They told me what the new deductible would be for when I needed a service. When the bank had the policy, it was $100 per service call. And then, once I assumed the warranty it was only $65 per service call and it went well. So I set it up for automatic deduction and I haven't had any issues since.

We have paid $35 a month for Home protection for over 10 years and have a contract. When we finally needed service we were told over the phone that our deductible had gone up. Then the repair person never showed up on ATLEAST 5 occasions! When they finally did show up, it was the wrong time they had given us, plus the repair person only repaired one of the 3 appliances we were having problems with. When we call we get a phone apology and they reschedule repair service only to have a no show AGAIN. This is ridiculous!

My TotalProtect warranty came with the purchase of my house and I have forgotten all about it until they sent me a letter some time ago. I called them questioning and then they enlightened me about the different services that they have. It was wonderful and I'm glad that I have the warranty. I have used it and I was very pleased. They were very professional, to the point and answered my questions. When the technician came out, he introduced himself and did some repairs. I would definitely recommend TotalProtect.

I've got my whole house covered by Cross Country Home Services. It's so great because one call can get you multiple services. So far, plumbing, heating and cooling have been our issues. It's easy submitting a claim with them and we always get good responses, which we're pleased with. I also get a response from them within three minutes of making the phone call and once I go through the menus, I'll get a rep who will take the info and assign me a claim number. They always get us on and off the phone quickly with the info we need to contact the contractor that they're going to send out. They're always helpful.

I'm a first time home buyer and we talked about how acquiring a home warranty might be safe. My realtor told me about HMS Home Warranty and I went with them. I submitted a claim over the phone and it was easy. They were really professional. I just had issues with the electric company that they gave me. They called them and decided not to use them because they were so rude to them as well. So, it was really nice that they did that.

My friend told me that he has Cross Country Home Services, that he pays so much a month, and that he pays the deductible. In those days, it was $60. I looked at it and it was a good deal. I suddenly became a customer and I haven't had any regrets ever since. I have used them a couple of times and when I submit claims, I do it over the phone which to me, is a lot easier than doing it online. It's an automated system and I have no difficulty getting service. If I had issues, I could always contact an agent.

We've had Cross Country for a long time. I’ve submitted claims both online and over the phone, and it’s very easy. The agents I’ve spoken with have been very pleasant and to the point. They’ve always shown great compassion over my issue. They've covered a lot of things for us and have always taken care of us. However, we've had several appliances that had to be exchanged out because they couldn't repair it and when they bring them in they have such stringent rules as to what they can and can't do. They like come and drop it at the door and are gone.

My A/C stopped working in May. Their regular contractor will not travel the distance to my house. Took about 4 days to find this out. I found a local contractor that agrees to work with their terms. King Heating and Air made the assessment, called it in and they stated it had to be reviewed and they would call back. Never happened. I called them back in about 4 weeks and they stated it was still in review (they called it something else). Finally in about a couple of weeks the repair was made. This was about the middle of July (contractor added Freon so I had A/C). He sent the bill in. Both of us have called several times and here it is under review or that it in accounts payable. It is now Oct. 19 2017, six months later and the contractor no money. I am waiting on a call from a supervisor but do not have much faith in that as accounts payable were to call the contractor, but like before no call.

I paid extra for outside water line coverage. How convenient that none of the reps when asking about this coverage mentioned that the warranty company ONLY pays for the repair (minuscule cost, maybe $100) compared to the cost to GET to the line. They do NOT pay for excavating, which costs upwards of $1300. Nowhere in their agreement under the Outdoor Water Line coverage does it state they do not pay for the digging and the labor. It simply says they cover up to 2k for the service. Absolutely absurd. Why even offer outdoor water line coverage?! A warning to any of you seeking coverage for your lines! Waste of money to choose this deceitful company. They'll find a way to not cover any of your issues but be happy to take your money every month.

Cross Country Home Services covers everything I need it to cover and everything has been great. They do exactly what they say and their customer service are much helpful. They've done some work on my air conditioner a couple of times over the years and on my water heater the last time. I submitted my claim online and it was super simple. They gave me a call and told me who was coming. The tech came out the next day and fixed the problem. With Cross Country Home Services, I don't have to worry if a problem comes up. I pay my deductibles and they take care of the rest. I've enjoyed my experience with them and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a home warranty.

When I got my home seven years ago, the home warranty came with it. I had a different company, then they merged with TotalProtect, and now I have them. Submitting a claim over the phone was easy and the technician who worked on my garage door opener was fantastic. The experience was very nice so that’s great.

I’ve always used Cross Country. I submit claims over the phone and sometimes when I call, there’s nobody to answer me and I had to leave it with a computer. Sometimes they would call back, but sometimes they wouldn’t. When my air conditioning unit went out, it took me two-and-a-half months in the summertime to get the unit fixed. It was back and forth with the contractor and back and forth with Cross Country. The contractor would say that Cross Country didn’t order the parts, and Cross Country would say that the contractor didn’t either. This last time, I had a problem with the repairs. They sent cease and desist at a refrigerator fix and to this day, it still wasn’t fixed. They sent another company, and every time they came out, it was different. They came for several times before they could fix the refrigerator, but other than that, the experience was pretty much fair.

When we bought our house 16 years ago, we had HMS Home Warranty. It came with the house and we renewed it every year. We submitted a claim over the phone and it was very easy. The plumbing company that came out was phenomenal. It was finished the first time they came. All of them had been really good except for one time a couple of years ago. Other than that, we’ve been really happy with it and it has been a great experience.

Cross Country Home Services was good and I never had a problem with my coverage. Someone recommended them to me, so I went with them. In submitting my claims, I liked to call and talk to people. But not too long ago, I couldn't get anybody there on the phone. I was on hold forever, so I looked for different numbers and finally got another number to call. Once I got to that number, they picked up quickly and everything was taken care of. But prior to that, I thought everyone there was on vacation. We've had some plumbing problems, but I only had to wait for a plumber to come, then it was okay. A great company, My Uncle's Plumbing, was the contractor that worked on my plumbing issues. They didn't charge me for the visits when they didn't fix anything. Their plumber came to change the filters on all the furnaces. I've had this plumber before and he does a good job.

TotalProtect came with the home financing and they’ve been handling my claims. I submit claims over the phone and the only time I had a communication problem with them was when they had the hurricane in Florida. The connections were bad but they connected me with somebody else and my issue was resolved.

I called in for service on my fridge. I was told that someone from sears would come to my house during a four hour block. This was last Thursday. I waited the four hours and no one showed up. I called customer service and I was told they would be out on the 20th. I told them that was not acceptable because we have out of town people coming in for my sons wedding. Customer service gave me a number for Clayton’s appliance and I was to call them. I called them on Friday and kept getting voicemail. I finally got through and was told he does not service my area. I have been on hold with member services 3 times for over an hour. I have sent emails from this site. No answer so far. I called sales and got through right away. He said he understood and was transferring me to membership services. I have been with total protect for years. The time I really need them - they failed miserably. I want my account canceled. I want membership services to call me.

I’ve been with HMS Home Warranty for two years now and have had two claims so far. Everything went smoothly with submitting those claims and their representatives were very helpful. The ones who I came in contact with did all they could to see us in the right direction and to help us with whomever it was that we needed to come out. One of the claims was for the attic fan, which went out and had to get taken care of. There’s one other situation where there was some type of film coming through my duct and it was after all businesses had closed. The representative called everybody, trying to get somebody to come out at that time. She finally had to give up, but the technician did come out the next morning. In fact, two came out and they inspected everything and cleaned out stuff up in the furnace. They took care of everything and the work they did was fine. It’s been a great experience so far and I would definitely recommend them.

I submitted a claim for my AC unit to TotalProtect online and it was easy. The technician didn’t speak English too good and he was about seven hours late. He was supposed to be there by 10 and he showed up at about six o'clock. But, the quality of his work was good.

I made a claim for SystemsProtect and it turned out that it was a very simple fix so we didn’t have to replace it. Cross Country had somebody here right away and got the problem solved. The person they sent out was very pleasant and seemed very competent.

call customer service waiting for the answer too long. customer service for claim request is awful. I have claim request for my microwave for a week now and still haven't got any phone calls and let me the status and they take so long for your claim to resolve.

I have been with Cross Country Home Services since 2008 and the coverage I have is great. The representatives are fine and they're able to get to me quickly. The plumbers I had were great as well. However, the young heating guy whom they sent out was a little questionable in terms of experience but he was nice. I’m happy with them overall.

I like HMS Home Warranty and they've helped me. I bought a 1904 home in 2016 and it had been renovated but I felt that the appliances might go out. Until I really knew my home in a detailed way, I thought it would be good to have a home warranty. And it was. There were things that the home inspection didn't catch. Something in my refrigerator went out that would have cost me three or four times with the warranty cost and my dishwasher also wasn't working right. There were also some plumbing issues.

TotalProtect advertised that it didn’t matter to them how old the unit was, it would still be covered by the insurance. So, I got their services, and submitting a claim was easy. I’ve only had one company to come out so far, and I was very pleased with them.

I had a mortgage at the time, and my bank recommended Cross Country. They gave it to me free for six months. Then, I just kept it. The Cross Country reps generally try to take care of me. Sometimes, I get their machine. I like it better when I get people. If it's on the weekend, I don't get a repair person until Monday. But, for the most part, they try to work with me pretty good. I pay $100 for my deductible everytime I call them to come out. Since I've been with them for a while, I have some companies I like better and they usually try to honor that. If things go down on really a hot day, I hardly ever get same-day service and I wish I could. But I realized that if I'm paying out of pocket, they get there on the same day, but they charge you a whole lot more.

I knew that I would not be always able to afford repairs so I got TotalProtect Home Warranty to assist in financing my repairs. My most recent claim had to do with a bathroom light fixture. I submitted the claim over the phone and it went fine. The claim rep was perfect and I was pleased with the technician and his work.

I’m a new homeowner & this warranty was provided by the seller. The first claim I filed was due to leaking washer valve. The first provider they dispatched was a person who eventually told me, after multiple attempts to make an appointment, that he would get to me when he could get to me & there was no guarantee my problem could even be fixed. I cancelled the claim & had someone else come out & it was nothing major at all. It was a quick fix. I went thru days of playing a chase game with this person for nothing.

TotalProtect came through my mortgage company. Submitting a claim has been pretty simple and their reps have been cordial. When I had plumbing problems back in January and the blockage was backing up into my sink in the basement, we called TotalProtect and they would have someone come out and do the drilling to open up the drain and we'd just pay our $75 fee. We had a similar situation happen four years prior and I explained that to them, but they claimed that this was not to be covered this time. The charge was expensive and then we also have to pay the plumber who came out. He charged for doing the job and we also had to pay TotalProtect for coming out. So we were paying two different people and I was very unhappy with that.

I had HMS before and then I got them again. I submitted a claim via phone with HMS. It was a long wait time and there were a lot of prompts. I had to go through every single prompt and retell them all my security information about five times. I went to automation so I had to type my information about my last name, billing address and updated cell phone number to make sure the best contact information is what they asked. I saved it and verified. Then they switched me to another department and I had to do the same exact thing. But I got switched again and had to do the same thing again. It took a while but the lady who I finally spoke with was great. The tech came out after a couple of days. He did a great job and he fixed my issue. Still, everything went well.

I've been with Country Home Services for 10 years now. The technicians they've sent out have been knowledgeable of what they needed to do. However, I had a problem when the dishwasher person came because he didn't tell me that my dishwasher needs to be replaced. Also, I don't understand why my plan is going up.
