My last claim with Cinch was for plumbing repairs in the kitchen. One part was fixed, but there were issues in more than one spot. They came back immediately and repaired it. The claim process was pretty fast and standard.
The technicians were very respectful, cleaned up behind themselves, and did the job well. I was satisfied with the work. I really appreciate the service they offer because these unexpected repairs could be costly. I think Cinch does really good work.

I was there with Cinch before they were Cinch. So it goes back 16 years. I missed year before last. For some reason I went to with another company. And I didn't like the way they did business so I came back.
I can file my claim anytime. I had a hot water at almost midnight. And I went right online, filled it out. The next morning, I had a call from somebody to fix it. So far, I've always had a good relationship with all of them.
Linda, We're delighted to hear about your continued satisfaction with Cinch Home Services since your return.

Cinch was part of my package when I bought the home. Submitting a claim is an easy experience and the contractors have been very good, but I am having problems with an older heating unit. This is the second time they’ve come out to fix it. The guys doing the repair seem to be a very good company and I trust them, but they think I need a new system. What Cinch wants to do is just keep putting parts in there, and the system is really too old for that.
They were out here a couple of days ago because my heat was blowing cool air. In the summer time, they said there was a leak in the system, and Cinch wants them to put in a liquid to plug it up. He said there’s a 50% chance of that working and most of the time, it doesn’t work. It worked for the summer, but he came back the other day and said it’s leaking again. They can’t put another liquid patch on there because it’s not going to work. The unit is really old and just needs to be replaced. Now, I’m waiting for a part to come in.
I understand you want to keep putting Band-Aids when we need an operation. I’m being inconvenienced every time I have to call. It’s winter time, and it’s not working. They shouldn't wait until the thing is actually falling apart. At some point, it needs to be replaced.
Angela, Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience with Cinch Home Services. We’re glad to hear that our claims process and the professionalism of our contractors have largely met your expectations, and we appreciate the acknowledgment of their prompt communication.
However, we're sorry to learn about the ongoing troubles with your heating unit. It's disheartening to hear that the current quick-fix efforts and parts replacements haven’t resolved the underlying issues. We recognize how vital consistent heating is, particularly during winter, and understand how relying on temporary fixes can be frustrating.
Your feedback is invaluable and will be shared with our management team to evaluate how we can implement more proactive strategies, especially for appliances nearing the end of their lifespan.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention—we're committed to refining our approach. Should there be any more concerns, please feel free to reach out to us. - Brooklyn

I had HMS for 25 years before it converted over to Cinch. My AC wasn’t cooling, so I did a claim online and it was pretty easy, and they came out and fixed it. Cinch is good at sending out trustworthy technicians.
I had an issue a few years back, where my outside unit went out in the dead of summer, and it took three technicians to say it was bad for Cinch to replace it. The following year, the inside unit went out, and they couldn’t get an older system ‘cause there were only the newer ones by then. So, they had to replace the outside unit again along with the inside unit. And both times, Cinch fought that ‘cause they saw the expense, and I understand that.
The hardest part about it is I was deployed when all this was happening, so my wife had to deal with it while taking care of our kids, and an elderly friend that was living in the house. That was the only thing I’ve really had an issue with Cinch, and that was the only big-ticket item I’ve ever done. But I’ve never had an issue with smaller claims. I’m happy with Cinch ‘cause I’ve heard horror stories about other companies.
Cheryl, We love detailed feedback from long time customers and appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences. We’re glad to hear that your recent AC claim was handled smoothly and that our technicians were able to resolve the issue efficiently.
We sincerely apologize for the difficulties you experienced with the previous AC replacement process and understand how frustrating that must have been, especially while you were deployed.

Cinch was provided to me through the previous owner of the house. I've had the service since August. When I had to submit a claim, it was fine. I did it on the phone with the agent and they sent the contractor to fix the plumbing issue in my hot water tank. They just changed the pipe and it's been okay. The only issue is I have to pay $100 every time they come out because it's considered a new claim.

We’ve been with Cinch since we bought this house in 2014, but it started out as HMS. When it was HMS and we had to use it, we had somebody out within 24 hours. With Cinch, that's not the case. It's to the point where it's actually longer. We had an issue with our air conditioning twice under HMS and they were out within the next day. It was the same maintenance guy, very reliable. When we had issues with the air conditioning under Cinch, it happened late Friday into early Saturday morning on one of the hottest weekends of the summer at the time. At the earliest, somebody couldn't come out until Monday, and it was not the same repairperson that we used in the past under HMS. We wound up having to contact a friend so they could come out and service our air conditioning. Otherwise, we would have been without AC for at least three days.
The problem is, it takes forever to get a human. You have to go through multiple prompts. You try online and it's just as hectic as trying to call, especially when it's 3:00 in the morning. When it was HMS, a similar situation happened, and we were able to get a customer service rep within minutes.
We also had an issue with our washer a few months ago. When we called, they told us that the first available appointment was a week away. The woman did find somebody that was able to come out sooner, which was fine. However, the issue re-acted up. The part that we needed was on nationwide backorder. We found out after a week of not having a washer, and we wound up buying a new washer and dryer. X amount of days after we had canceled the service for the washer, a customer service rep called and said that she was with HMS. So, I don't know if certain departments are still under HMS, but she was like the way we experienced when it was under HMS. Very nice, very pleasant, very easy to talk to. We actually got money back, the replacement amount for the washer we bought.
As a whole, the warranty is very good, especially since the plan that we have was grandfathered in from HMS. Plan-wise, I have yet to be able to match that from other companies. In that sense, it's a positive. The customer experience is where the negative part comes in. It's not as good quality as it was under HMS.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that our coverage has continued to meet your needs and that there have been recent positive interactions with our team. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the longer wait times and the challenges you’ve experienced in reaching a representative.

We hope to continue providing coverage that gives you peace of mind and a smoother experience moving forward. Thank you again for your honest feedback. Sincerely, Angela

We've been protected with Cinch since April of this year. We didn't choose it. When we bought the home, it came with the warranty for a year. We made a claim as soon as we got in the house because it's supposed to cover our heater and our AC unit. The seller did not disclose that the AC unit didn't work when we moved in. We moved in in April, so we were using the AC pretty fast and realized that it didn't work.
It was easy to submit a claim. I just called and said what was going on and they sent someone pretty fast the first time. They came out and they replaced the thermostat, but it still wasn't working. The man tried it the same day and the AC still wasn't kicking on correctly. He looked at it and saw what parts were bad and he put in that we needed a new unit replacement.
We dealt with that for a couple of months and Cinch kept saying that they were going to have the company order the parts and they never did. After I spoke to them, they made the company send another person because they didn't believe the first person.
The second person from DC Refrigeration came out here and also said the same thing. So those parts finally got ordered. The last conversation I spoke with Cinch, they said to schedule my appointment with DC Refrigeration and that all the parts and labor were covered. I scheduled with DC Refrigeration, they come out here, they do all the work, and then they tell me I owe them 655 bucks.
They said Cinch sent me an email about what was not covered. I have no email from Cinch at all. I never got that email from them. The man stayed here because he's already done the work and can't take the stuff back out. It's already fixed at this point. So I called Cinch and it was 45 minutes before I finally spoke with one person who told me that their system says the email was sent out. Because I didn't receive it, I'm screwed and I owe this balance and there's nothing they could do. DC Refrigeration was nice enough to make a payment plan with me.
But Cinch has been an absolute nightmare since the first call. After our experience, we looked into reviews online about Cinch and there are hundreds of stories just like mine all over the Internet.

BEWARE** Recently have had a terrible experience with Cinch Home Services. They charge $63 a month for their warranty plan services intending on giving consumers piece of mind in the event of an appliance breakdown. Well, that is what a warranty home repair is designed to do. That is $756 a year a person is expected to spend with them PLUS $100 to open a claim they require you to pay upfront. Well, don't both using this company as they don't offer any resolution or refund when they DENY a claim for a false reason. I wasted 3 1/2 months on the phone with them for HOURS only to find out they will not replace/repair a door on my microwave covered by warranty repair for some bogus reason of "misuse" which makes absolutely ZERO sense and they will not refund my wasted $100 deductible towards the purchase of a new range microwave either. So algether I am out $856 and still have a broken appliance i relied on them to fix. They use unreliable 3rd party contractors who are not efficient or helpful either. Would hate to see other customer have a similar experience if you have Cinch Home Services. Do yourself a favor and cancel it immediately!!!!

I had a claim with Cinch for my HVAC boiler system. The first guy they sent out didn’t know what he was talking about. He didn’t diagnose the problem properly, and the recommendation he gave me was not the same he told his company. I called the company and told them not to send him back, and they sent me someone else who was better. He fixed the thermostat, so it's good now.
I like their customer service and that they address the problems. I appreciate their response when I tell them about an issue. My only suggestion is they could provide me with more companies that are knowledgeable about the issue instead of sending companies who are the opposite.

The home warranty was purchased for us by the sellers when we bought the house at the end of May. Unfortunately, my experience with Cinch has not been good.
I called them first for my dishwasher and he fixed it. It cost me $100 because it's deductible. And he fixed one thing, then he had to order a part and he got it to work. And then something else didn't work, so I had to pay another $100, and he came out and fixed another thing. All that time, we didn’t realize the bar across the top was broken and only held on with Scotch tape. And he never caught it.
I'm not gonna pay $100 for him to come out and put that on. But I think, realistically. I should get a new dishwasher. That would be paying $300 for a dishwasher. I could buy a new dishwasher.
So that was a bad deal. And every time you open it, when the Scotch tape dries out, then that falls off and you have to put in new Scotch tape to hold that on. Where the buttons are, where you where you push start, that's the piece that comes off. Right across the top.
It was so early in the thing that we hadn't noticed. It was so early when we moved in, it hadn't dried out yet. So we didn't even know about that. But now that it has, I'm not gonna call another time. But you would think the inspector would have noticed the scotch tape on the side. Anyway, two inspectors. The house inspector, and then the Cinch inspector.
The garage door opener worked. And then what didn't work was for the kids to use the code. I'm the grandma and I bought the house. And so we didn't know right away. When I decided, I had a handyman come and he replaced the code, so we thought that both the garage door opener and the code would work.
You can either have the code work or you could have the garage door opener work. So finally, I decided, “Okay. I’ve gotta call Cinch.” And he came and he could either get the garage door opener to work or the code so that the kids could go out or come in when the grudge was done, so you wouldn't have to use the key to get in.
He couldn't get it fixed either so that they would both work. Then he said, I’d need to buy a new one and said they could sell me one on the spot. I thought that was crazy. So no, I didn't buy it from them. He couldn't fix it, but right then I could buy one. He had it in the car.
Please know your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’ll use it to help improve how we communicate coverage details moving forward. If you have any further questions or need assistance, we’re here to help.

It's been at least 13 years since we've had this Cinch. Whenever a claim was made, it was an immediate response within a day with a service provider being assigned. Cinch needs to send the last person they sent out regarding the refrigerator for every job. Grays Appliances was excellent. I have not had one problem with my refrigerator since he repaired it. AAA Appliance came out three times and never resolved the problem. But the Grays Appliances came out right away and he knew what the problem was and fixed it. It took a little time, but he didn't have any complaints. He replaced that part that he said was the problem. That was over a month ago and it's like I never knew I had a problem. It's running and sounding like it always did before the problem initiated. I even texted the guy a week later to tell him everything was still running good.
I've never had a problem with submitting a claim. If it's done online, it's quicker. I used to always call it in and it was a little more time-consuming. It's not easy to get a live person initially. When I did get a person, it was fine. The only thing that I had to say is, initially, the home was in my brother's name and when I extended the warranty, I had to give Cinch all my personal information to renew it and change it to my name. But when I needed a furnace repair last year, they gave me a hard time and I had to end up calling my brother and putting him on three-way call because they did not want to change the credit card. They wanted to get permission from my brother. I was a little upset with the fact that Cinch didn't have problems with using my credit card every month to bill me. But when I tried to change the card, it became an issue.
I like Cinch so far. I've had no problems. My only issue I have is their rates keep going up. They keep raising it periodically. When I first got them, it was $40 a month. Now, it's all the way up to $65. So I may have to change the warranty company because that's a lot to pay for something as far as a warranty. You also have to pay upfront before they even assign a provider and the deductible is $150. When I first got them, it was under $100. The only benefit I would say is when you make your initial claim and they come out to fix it, you're good for 180 days. So if it goes back out or something happens to it within 180 days from the first service, they take care of it and you don't have to pay another deductible. But once that 180 days expire, you have to pay another deductible.
Marva, Thank you for sharing your feedback with Cinch Home Services. We are truly thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the recent refrigerator repair and the satisfactory service from Gray Appliances. Delivering excellent service in every claim process is our goal, and it’s wonderful to know our efforts have impressed you.

I've been with Cinch for 30 years when it was a different company before. A lot of it has been and hasn't been good. It just depends on the service provider that they use to come out to our house. Because we live out in the country, a lot of people don't want to come out here. For the most part, we stayed with them because we've had good results.
My most recent experience was a refrigerator problem and they sent someone out who was awesome. They had to be paid extra for travel time, but he came out the next time and he fixed it. He was nice and polite and we would love for that company to come back again if we needed another service on an appliance.
Cinch is great at customer service as long as I can get to a supervisor. But a lot of times, I get hung up on when I try to explain to them what I need. Because they hire a lot of people from out of the country, it's very hard to understand them and they just hang up on me when I tell them I can't understand them many times. So I have to call back and I have to go through this prompt again. It's a very frustrating scenario. But when I get to a supervisor, they always help me. So that's also why we've never changed.
One time, we had a technician come out and they were terrible. I could not allow them to come back to my house because I needed a new faucet and they were going to provide me a faucet that didn't even work in my kitchen at all. It made me very nervous because I didn't know who this provider was. So I talked to customer service and they just gave me a payout and we took care of it ourselves. It all depends on who comes out to your house. Sometimes we've had people come out here and they don't even speak English. That makes it very difficult. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. But there's not a lot to offer where we live, so we stay with them.

I have very little complaints about Cinch. It's worked out well. My first major thing that I had done was having my heating and air conditioning replaced. That wasn't a very pleasant experience because I felt the first guy that came out didn't want to go through the trouble of replacing both units. So he jury-rigged it and it lasted for a couple of days. When I called the company and let them know that it's still not working, they sent out another contractor and they replaced them. Everything went well.
The customer service and response time is fair. I've had good results from that. I would tell anyone that Cinch is a very good company to choose and that there's little hassle with the company. Also, the contractors that they send out have been excellent. This last guy that came out for a sewage blockage and the only thing I wasn't happy with was the length of time. I had to wait four days and not being able to flush or run water was a hassle. But once the guy came out, he was able to rectify the problem, fix everything, and he cleaned up as though he had never been there.

The send out unreliable service providers that have no idea what they are doing and are not responsive, order wrong parts, lose parts, replace the wrong parts. This has been a nightmare.

I had an issue when they replaced my furnace. I didn't feel like I really understood what I was getting and what I was authorizing. I didn't appreciate the lack of communication when we had the furnace replaced. Communication, especially through the portal and email, could be more clear. There's a lot of times when it says to contact the provider, but the provider doesn't know either. There's a lot of unclear communication.

Our garbage disposal unit stopped working so I contacted Cinch. They were really good about it. They recommended me a plumber and the guy came two days later. We had it scheduled at 10 o'clock in the morning and he was there right at 10 o'clock. He fixed everything right there on the spot. It was a total motor lockup so he ended up replacing the whole unit. It was really easy and quick. Within an hour and a half, he was done with everything. He was really good. He was polite, punctual and clean-looking.

I only had one claim with Cinch. The technician came and repaired my dishwasher. However, it took a long time to set up the appointments for them to come and do the service.

I file my claim with Cinch online and their turnaround is very short, 24 to 48 hours. That’s on a high-volume time of the year. Normally, I get somebody pretty quickly. In the 25 years I’ve been with the warranty company, I’ve had three people who either stole the appliances or didn’t show back up. The techs said they were taking the appliance to fix it but they never brought it back. They took the parts and never brought them back. Cinch had to send someone else out with a brand-new unit. I had to get a whole furnace replaced because the individual never brought the parts back that they took.
I also had scenarios where I had to get all new stuff and where a service provider tried to con me out of money and destroyed my property and made it seem as though I did it and Cinch wouldn’t cover it. I had them ban a company from me, but they still wouldn’t replace the unit that was destroyed by that company because of the lie they told. The people who came out here tried to con me out of money for Freon and they stabbed holes in my unit. They also purposely put the breaker upside down and I had to pay another $150 to get somebody else to come back out here because I didn’t know that they sabotaged my unit. I had to find somebody else to fix it out of my own pocket. Cinch did not believe me as a customer because of what the service provider wrote on the documents.
When it comes to customer service, sometimes even when you wanna go up higher, Cinch’s customer service hesitates to send you up higher. But if they can’t give me an answer, then I need somebody higher. What I don’t like is that everything is just black and white. It’s like being an inspector where you have to put your personal views to the side and do what the job says. But my thing is I didn’t blow up my AC unit and I didn’t stab something in the thing. Customer service is a stickler that they stand by the black and white, whatever the case may be. Cinch will not cover normal wear and tear. But other companies will. I own two home warranties and there are certain things that Cinch won’t do.
Other than that, I stay with Cinch because they are more consistent than inconsistent. On two occasions, they had both appliances fully replaced. I haven’t had too bad an experience with them. Most warranty companies have you go out and look for your service provider or you have to struggle, but Cinch doesn’t do that. That’s one of the best things about them. I don’t have to worry about having to go find my own service provider.
I’ve been with Cinch long enough where I’ve gone from paying a $50 deductible to now $150. Their deductible is higher than others. It has gone up yearly and I’m not happy with it. But it does what it does. I understand inflation. But if you have somebody for 25 years, I shouldn’t have to call you back every year to beg for a discount. I’ve owned four homes at this time and Cinch has been on all four. When I see that my warranty has gone up another $15, which really blows my mind that much per year, I shouldn’t have to call and be like, “Hey, I’ve been a customer of yours.” And they tell me I don’t get some kind of discount.
If I’m here in Virginia, in the Hampton Rose area, Cinch ought to know that either I am military or not. If I ask them for a military discount, they would not give that to me. They should give a military discount. Overall, I would take Cinch over American Home Shield. I have put Cinch on my daughter’s home when she purchased it because who has time to go look for a service provider? At least I know if a service provider messes up, I have 180 days. If an appliance glitches up again, I don’t have to drop another $150. If there’s a complaint about a service provider, they will move expeditiously. I also like that now, Cinch will call you automatically and see if the person came and fixed the issue. They will actually ask, “How was that provider?”

This has got to be the worst home warranty company out there. I believe I ended up here after my previous company HMS was acquired. I hadn't had to file a claim or anything but noticed the price hike. Well, I filed a claim in April and one in September. Thee worst! First, I'm not sure which companies they're contracting with but they're BARELY qualifying as companies. These technicians are subpar. One plumber put an apparent bandaid on the problem. Well, I file my September claim, plumber arrives and tells me the previous issue wasn't fixed but he'll take care of the reason he's here; sump pump. He tells me get on the phone with Cinch and when I do, what am I met with. HORRIBLE customer service, no understanding of english, no comprehension of the issue. A bunch of text book malarchy that just ends with 'pay this, pay this, pay this.' I informed the tech was just here in April to fix apparently the same issue and he didn't do it, and that's why I have water in my basement. Cinch told me that there was only a 14 day window on a REPAIR...there are longer windows on socks!

I'm locked in until Dec, but it will not renew. I have never had an issue before, but from June to now October has been the worst experience. Out of the entire DFW area they can only offer 1 HVAC Provider, who after sending 5 different people out on 3 units, and telling me things that didn't add up, and the owner of the HVAC company telling me that he doesn't like his employees working on the same job to share information or the pictures or write-ups with each other (I kid you not), I requested a different HVAC Provider and was told there is no one else I can work with after several thousand in and dismal results. I then got 2 providers on my own + my neighbor who does commercial HVAC to look at everything and were baffled by the Provider and what I had been through. So corrupt. The canceling process was a multiple day, multiple hours run around. Cinch is finally currently is sending me a $955 check for money somehow the provider overcharged me, but still doesn't have anyone else for me to have fix my unit. I pay for the Premium Cinch Service. I've wasted a lot of $, time, and frustration. So disappointed.

When I first started, it wasn’t Cinch, it was HMS. Our water heater went out a month after we moved in, had five kids under the age of 10 at the house, and nobody could take a bath. But they sent out a wonderful company, and they actually replaced it with a larger water heater.
Cinch sent out a person from Haha’s Heating & Cooling for the air conditioner, they told me my entire unit needed to be replaced, and Cinch disagreed with that. Instead, they sent somebody out to put Stop Leak in it. In addition to the $200 service call fee, I spent another $300 because the coolant was so old, it was hard to find, and super expensive. My son and I went without air conditioning when there was a heat advisory for two weeks and Cinch took over a month to send me $350 to get a window unit.
I had a spare refrigerator in my garage that I paid additional for, and it wasn’t working. First, they said that they couldn’t find anybody, and when they got somebody out there, the guy said I was leaving the refrigerator door open. I told him I wasn’t doing that. He stood in my doorway, said I didn’t know what I was talking about, and I was making it all up, and he wouldn’t be coming back. I called Cinch and told them, but they wouldn’t do anything about it. And I just didn’t have the time to deal with it, so all the food in there went to waste. They finally sent somebody else and got it all fixed, but that was over a seven-month period, and I had to stop using it.

I’m not happy with Cinch Home Services. I was giving their number to everybody before, and now, I’m not going to because I didn’t like it. Because when my refrigerator was broken, they sent me to Kenmore, and I had to pay $700 extra to Sears to fix it.
At first, Cinch said I needed a compressor. Then, after that, they called and told me that they sent something from Illinois. Then they called me again and said that I cannot have it, and that I have to do it with Kenmore. They cannot do anything because it’s under the manufacturer’s warranty. The compressor was under guarantee, but because I don’t have guarantee with them, I have to pay for labor. But they could fight and get it from Kenmore. I told them to get it from Kenmore if Kenmore is the manufacturer. And they said that I have to call and get it from Kenmore.
I had Cinch for almost two years, and I was okay with what they did with other stuff. They’ve helped me. I pay them 150 for the deductible. And last time, they said $150, and I paid it, for the deductible. They said some stuff is not under guarantee. I have to pay extra. And I did.
The representatives were also good. They answered me, but it still depended on who answered the phone. The last guy that I talked to last month was nasty and told me that it’s not their problem. And he didn’t explain anything to me. He just told me to talk to Kenmore, and that they won’t give me my $150 back. I told him that they need to give me something back because I paid Cinch $150, and then I had to pay $700 for Sears to fix the refrigerator.
So, this year, I’m thinking of changing to a different company, because I pay $150 on this, and they come. And sometimes, they don’t finish the job. But sometimes they’re good. They did a good job with my stove, and I’m happy. I paid $150, they fixed it, and everything’s okay.

I do not recommend Cinch. My file was marked a medical emergency — I’m 22 weeks pregnant and had fetal surgery on September 13 — yet Cinch has acted with zero urgency and terrible communication.
Timeline:
Claim opened: September 18
Diagnosis completed: September 20
Parts request submitted: September 22
Today: October 1 — still no parts
What actually happened: I was repeatedly told the part was “coming from Austin” and would arrive Sept 30–Oct 1. Today my technician, James, told me the warehouse never had the part and Cinch is only now “re-sourcing” it with a new ETA of October 7. James also said the exact part is available locally at the Goodman/Amana warehouse in Dallas and ready for pickup — but Cinch refused to authorize him to get it. Why would they block a same-day local solution while my family suffers?
Cinch offered $350 for a portable AC (completely inadequate — a single portable unit can’t cool a multi-room house), and nothing at all about the hotel/rental accommodations my plan covers. I called three times last week for tracking and was told the part had been provided to the technician — which was false because Cinch never ordered it. That explains why there was no tracking.
Unanswered questions Cinch needs to answer immediately:
Where are the parts being ordered from?
What is the supplier’s phone number?
What is the part number?
If the part has been sourced, why won’t Cinch pay for overnight shipping?
Why won’t the technician pick it up locally in Dallas?
This is more than an inconvenience — it’s negligence that directly affects my health and safety. If you need reliable, urgent service, avoid Cinch until they fix their processes and start treating medical emergencies like the priority they are.

No one was available in my area at all so they said I could hire someone else to repair it and they would reimburse me. I did exactly that and submitted the invoice expecting to be reimbursed the bill and my $100 deductible. They have not reimbursed me and it’s been almost 90 days. I’m canceling my relationship with this company. Do not get involved with this company.

I called the service number and reported the issue, we were charged a second service call fee to have a technician return to assess the issue.
The day of the service, the technician arrived and I was describing the issue, the technician said that the warranty company would not pay for a repair and would more than likly opt for a replacement dryer. The technician did not even look at the dryer, he said that someone would be reaching out to is to discuss the next step. I said ok, off he went.
We never heard back from the warranty company, we continued to use the drying making the horrendous noise.
As We never heard back from the warranty company, I called in to seek status of our claim, and was told that our issue would have to be elevated to a next level claims adjuster, who informed me he could see the services, and the notes from the technician said “ customer wants new dryer” which was not what I said, that is what the tech told me would happen based upon his experience.
The next level adjuster informed me that I would need to pay another service call fee to have a different technician to come out and assess the issue, I let the adjuster know we had already done that and the previous tech had said it would be replaced, I could not see paying another service call to achieve the same outcome as the assessment had already been done by the previous service call.
Then I was routed back to the call center and explained the out come to the customer service agent, who said they would escalate this to their supervisor, and call me back the next day, I didnt get a call back, so I called back two days later, and new service agent went over the case, and let me know that he could give me a “discount” on the next years yearly service debited from my credit card, and use the discount pending to pay for the service to have a tech come out, but it would be out of my pocket as the next years service renewal was in a few months, so I would be out the cash for the service cal to re-assess the machine
I declined, and let the service agent know I had ordered a new dryer and it was coming in few days as our family could no longer take the grinding noise any longer, and that I would move the affected dryer to the garage from the laundry room, amd hook ot up there as the noise could not be heard in the house from the garage. I was informed movimg the dryer to the garage would void the warranty
I cancelled my reoccurring yearly payment, and will not ever use or recommend cinch again to anyone
Paid 2100.00 over the course of three years, plus service calls, lost time from work waiting on incompetent techs, customer service agents that are trained to make reoccurring revenue on a revenue generating warranty, save your the time on the phone and aggravation
Do not use cinch, save your time and money.

The sears technician came and said that it needed a new coil and that he had to order the part!! Then they put you on this ridiculous schedule that you have no control over and the appointment that the technician made me was for another week!! He waited until the day of the appointment and called to tell me that the part didn’t come in so I had to be put back on the schedule for another week!! The appointment was for today September 24th and he texts me at around 5:00 pm to tell me the part still didn’t come in and now he is expecting me to wait another week!! I called Cinch services both times that the technician said the part hadn’t come in to see if they could do anything to expedite the process and they just repeat what you already know, that they are still waiting on the part!! It will be 1 month for my family to be without air conditioning in Texas!! It is ridiculous that you get poor customer service just because you have a home warranty!!

Cinch did not honor its obligation.
I am a long time customer, but when I put in a service order for my refrigerator it was very frustrating as parts were not available and each time there were long waits to order parts. Ultimately, after months of trying it was determined the refrigerator could not be repaired and a replacement check was offered. It has been 3 months since I am due to receive this compensation. I have been calling regularly to inquire about this and and every time I am told its in the mail but never gets delivered. Since I get other mail from Cinch on the same address, there is no issue with mailing. It seems they are straight out lying to be every time I call (almost every 3 weeks) that the check is in the mail. It is pathetic that they will not honor their obligations.

Years ago, I just transitioned to Cinch when they took over another company that I had had since I bought the house. They've done a good job like the previous one. I suppose the prices have gone up, and I know the deductible has gone up over the years. My most recent claim was for a garage door opener, and I was contacted by the company. We set up a time. Their guy asked me to send some photos so that he could have a sense of the thing before he came. That was very efficient. Overall, Cinch has been useful to me on a number of occasions.

My latest claim to Cinch was questionable. The person they sent out did not do the proper assessment, so they declined the repair.

We got Cinch as a recommendation. It was something that our realtor set up for us as we purchased our new home. However, I'm very frustrated with them. We had their contractor come out for our AC. It hasn't really been hot enough to know if anything was done, except they put in some refrigerant into our system. We ended up having to pay out of pocket for almost all of that. I still have stains in my ceiling, and I noticed a new one in my upstairs ceiling from the ductwork leaking from the AC running too hard.
I also have a major gas issue with my dryer. It is a 1985 Maytag dryer. I called Cinch but they told me that I didn't have their premium service. I had called before that and I had upgraded the policy to include the washer and dryer. They told me that the extra $137 that I paid did not cover that and that I needed to pay another $50 for that service. I was on a recorded line asking specifically about the washer and dryer. I was told it was included. They told me they were gonna refund me. They said they would meet me halfway and do $25 but they still didn't even do that.
They've had two separate companies come out and look at our dryer. One guy came and replaced the gas valve. He said it was good to go, that we might smell some gas, but it's just a little runoff. That led to a very dangerous gas leak in my home for over 30 hours. We had a hard time waking up the next morning. We also have pets in the home and my son's room is located in that same area of the house. Thank God he was not here.
I had Nicor back out. They confirmed that the gas leak was coming directly from the valve that was replaced. Cinch claimed they never got that documentation from Nicor so I sent it over to my case manager last week. They said they were gonna send out another company. Another company came out and the guy said it is an old dryer and he was gonna deem it unrepairable. He said he could replace one more thing but it was not gonna change the outcome.
Cinch came back to me and said the contractor told them that there was no issue with the washer. I called the contractor back and they told me that they had to get on the phone and talk with them. That company said Cinch was saying since there is a part available that they could locate, they would not replace my dryer. They would only have a company come out and replace that part.
My issue is that this is now a health hazard. It is an active gas leak. I've had Nicor out multiple times to identify that it's coming from this dryer. I have given the documentation. But instead of resolving the issue, Cinch wants have another tech come out. I have to vacate my home with my pets, turn that gas on for up to four hours before a tech comes out because if I don't have the gas on, then they would tell me they can't detect the leak. I also have to take off time from work to have them here for the four-hour window to replace a part that they've already done twice. Every time I call Cinch, they are not helpful. They'll keep me on hold for up to an hour. I have a medical condition and this is a huge health hazard to have this constantly going on in my home and having to constantly turn this gas on for them to come inspect it.

Cinch used to be great. We've had them for about 3 years and they've repaired my washing machine, my dryer, and my furnace. It was in a couple days. But now they suck. I've been waiting almost a month to get a refrigerator fixed. I have a refrigerator that works halfway. It doesn't freeze on the freezer part so my regular food is in the freezer so it can be somewhat cold. Cinch sent another guy out here from another company, which I had hell trying to get in contact with. Cinch had to finally get in touch with him and he finally showed up, but he said something that he doesn't really do it a lot but that he got me.
When he checked it, he said the other two times I’ve had a service guy here, they didn't tell me that the compressor in the refrigerator doesn't work. He said I needed a new compressor and some other part. He had to order parts and the parts are supposed to be in. But I can't get in touch with him and Cinch can't either. It started out with some other company coming here, servicing my refrigerator, and telling me to do one thing which did not work. Then they came back again and opened the back of it. They put some freon in it, checked a few little controls and said to give it 12 hours. But it still doesn't do what it's supposed to do.
I've been going back and forth with Cinch about this and it's ridiculous on how long I'm waiting. I'm very frustrated, and my wife is, too. Within the contract, if they can't fix something, they're supposed to replace it. But no one has suggested that from Cinch at all. They'd rather put me through hell waiting on somebody to fix a refrigerator.

This is our second home and we’ve been with Cinch, even before they were called Cinch.

They came out about a month ago and everything was taken care of. I’ve recommended Cinch to friends. My only complaint is that the cost keeps going up. I just got a letter about a recent increase, and I don’t know another company that does what they do, so I’m kind of stuck.
Starting this month, if I have an issue with a specific appliance, not only do I have to pay the deductible, but I have to pay an additional $100–$150 if the appliance needs to be replaced. Before, it was just the deductible. It’s still cheaper than buying a whole appliance, but the monthly fee plus the deductible and replacement costs make it expensive. Other than that, the service is good. The companies that come out to provide the service are great.

It cost me out-of-pocket money, but I didn't waste as much time as I've wasted with this. The repairman that Cinch sent took care of it. It must have been a known problem apparently because he had the part on his truck and fixed it. Now we have a nice working refrigerator portion of the freezer-refrigerator, so that's great.
Pam, Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re so glad to hear the repair process was smooth and efficient. It’s great to know the technician was well-prepared and able to resolve the issue quickly, bringing your refrigerator back to full function. While we understand out-of-pocket costs can be a concern, we’re happy that the peace of mind and prompt service made it worthwhile. We appreciate your trust in Cinch and look forward to continuing to support your home with reliable care. - Brooklyn

The people that called on me were great but dealing with Cinch directly was not so great. It was a hassle to get things lined up and do it in a timely manner. I had a garage door that was not working, and it took me a long time to get somebody out here. I had to pay for someone else to come diagnose it first, and I had a good diagnosis. I know there are other people in front of me, but there's gotta be a better system than a runaround. My contract is coming up but I'm not gonna renew it.
Ms. Laird - Thank you for sharing your experience with Cinch Home Services. We’re glad to hear that the technician provided excellent service, but we’re truly sorry for the frustration caused by the delays and coordination challenges.

Extremely disappointed with Cinch. The contractor they sent misdiagnosed my issue, which led to my claim being denied and forced me to spend nearly $1,500 on an unnecessary repair that didn’t fix the problem. Cinch sent a second contractor who identified the actual issue, yet Cinch refuses to reimburse for their mistake. Cinch is the company I trusted and pay for coverage. Customers shouldn’t have to pay for errors made by Cinch’s own contractors.
Tori - We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointment and the experience you've described. We understand how frustrating it can be when a repair doesn’t go as expected, especially when it results in additional out-of-pocket costs.
Please know that we carefully reviewed your claim and handled it in accordance with the terms and conditions of your coverage. While we regret that the initial diagnosis did not resolve the issue, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will ensure your concerns are documented internally.

Updated on 11/01/2025: This is my second review on Cinch Home Services. After the first review on September 16, 2025 I received a settlement offer from Cinch on September 22, 2025. About half of the cost of the repair but I was tired of pleading with them and I accepted. They said I would have a check in 7 to 10 days. I also received two emails that day asking me to update or complete a new review of Cinch.
My second review is on Cinch Reimbursements. I agree to their offer on 09/22 and it is November 1, 2025 and I have not received a reimbursement and guess what....I cannot get anyone to respond. Cinch is a dishonest company. People who buy home insurance do it because they cannot afford big bills when systems fail. Cinch takes advantage of people because they know most of us don't have the resources to challenge them when they do not keep their end of the contract. I wish I could give a -10 review.
Original: They are cons. They will talk a good game selling you a plan but they will not responded when you need them. Check and see if you can get an agent on the phone. Plan to spend a few hours on hold and no help.
Hi Phil, We're sorry to hear that you did not receive the check as quickly as expected.

We have been customers of cinch for 5 years. Our refrigerator recently went down. We had all of our food in coolers filled with ice for 9 days while Cinch had 3 different repair techs come out to see what could be done. Tech 1 said it was a compressor and said he wasn’t trained. Tech 2 said it couldn’t be repaired and a new fridge was required. Tech 3 took 3 visits to finalize the repair 1 for approval to be requested for the repair on day 7, day 8 repaired day nine finished the repair. During this time Cinch just waited for word from the clown car if techs who they kept sending while I have 3 coolers of ice keeping the food from spoiling: all in 80+ degrees counting 50!lb of ice every 2-3 days. Every time we asked for a supervisor to escalate there were none there. When we asked for a follow up to discuss the issues they give one day as a window in a two month period. I cannot suggest this company has n any manner shape or form unless you need something to runaway from. They simply don’t care about customers, and when you call their job is simply get you to go away til the next day. Reassurances are forgotten and you simply can’t trust them to send anything but kinder care to fix your appliances.

If I could give zero stars I would. I've been with Cinch for 4 years, when I finally needed their assistance they offered none. I've gone 5 months without a resolution which has resulted in the canceling of our contract. My dryer broke and the repair provider, ARS Service LLC, often lied and mislead us about the status of our repair. When I attempted to get Cinch's support all they said was "there is nothing we can do". Even when canceling my contract, I told the customer service agent the issues I was running into and that I would prefer to remain their customer if they could just help me get my dryer fixed but if not I would like to cancel, the representative responded by saying "I've gone ahead and canceled your account". They don't care about the customer, just the money.

I appreciate their honesty and fairness. They also have a good system in place to provide services and customer service is helpful in addressing issues. Sometime services are delayed but it is mostly due for scheduling time of the individual providers. Sometime, a part is needed and there is a waiting time for approval and receiving. I also like when sears technicians come out for services.

After scheduling an appointment for a simple dishwasher repair, we had no technician show up or contact us from the servicing company Whirlpool Factory Service. On 6+ calls to Cinch and attempts on their party to contact Whirlpool Factory Service I was left on hold for a total time of over 3 hours. We were assured an escalation on the day of the missed appointment and a callback from Cinch, it did not happen.
So the next day we again reached out to Cinch to try and secure a service provider, one of the agents provided a number that was again not answered.
I was finally forced to ask for a deductible refund which they are currently trying not to process, and a refund on what I consider to be a material misrepresentation in their service contract.
We have been customers for over 11 years. Please do not use this company.

I have been Cinch customer for more than 20 years. The company's service has consistent gotten worse as their prices have increased. For starters, all calls seem to be handled by the Philippians, so you only have a 50/50 chance of being able to understand the "Agent", and three of the last four service requests I made have taken weeks to resolve and become nightmares.
Let me give you two examples:
1) My central air conditioning failed in late June, 2025. I filed a service request and paid the $125.00 fee. It took 4 days for the first technician to show up, when he got here he diagnosed the problem as being a broken control wire to the outdoor compressor. He said he couldn't fix it and would report back to Cinch. Four days and 2 phones calls later an "a/c specialist" showed up looked around for about 1/2 hour and announced that the line needed to be replaced by an electrician. Another four days past by before the electrician showed-up and he too poked around for about a 1/2 hour before announcing that the problem was an A/C "low voltage - control wire" and he couldn't connect to the equipment. He also said he would let Cinch know to send the A/C guy back. At this point I looked online for a local A/C service. The next morning, I called (on a Saturday), two local A/C Service companies. One of them called back and came to my house within 3 hours. They ran the new control wire in about 45 minutes and the system was working. More than 2 weeks of waiting to get the system fixed and a competent service company resolved the problem in less than 4 hours (from the initial call).
2) A week ago today, my microwave stopped working. I immediately went on line and filed a service request and paid my $125 fee. Initially, I was told that given the age of my microwave they would prefer to replace it as opposed to repair it. I said great. They were supposed to get back to me in 24 hours with options. 72 hours later, I called to ask for an update and of course the customer services agents had no information. All of a sudden on Thursday, I got an email informing me that they were now sending a service technician out. The service technician came today (a week later), he checked the breaker box, looked at the unit for about 10 minutes, and announced that it is an electrical problem. So he packed-up and left saying we needed an electrician and he would file his report with Cinch right away. I just called customer service and they told me no report had yet been filed and that I should expect to hear back from Cinch by Wednesday. So it will be at least 2 weeks before I see the electrician, and then who knows. This appears to be a pattern, they send out improperly trained technicians who just bounce jobs back and forth.
I have friends who have other service companies and they don't have these problems. As soon as this issue is resolved, I am DONE WITH CINCH.
Corrine - Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and the decline in the service you've experienced with Cinch over the years.

BEWARE!! The technician and this company are scam artists! They charged their $120 service fee two days before sending the technician out. He wasn't here long, but as he was leaving yesterday, he said he'd be back in a couple of days with the parts for the repair. Today, we got a phone call saying they closed our service request because our claim had been denied! The technician told them he saw evidence there had been a mouse inside the enclosure where our A/C unit is located, and that he thinks the mouse may have chewed the wiring and caused it to lose power. They said they don't cover repairs caused by pests. We had NO idea there had been a mouse inside there, because we are elderly and are not able to remove the panel to inspect the unit! That's what we paid THEM to do!! These people are con-artists! I would not recommend anyone using them for home warranty needs!! After researching online, I found they already have pending lawsuits against them, for allegations of fraud and other illegalactivities. We have decided to seek legal action against them, too.

I have been a customer for over 4 years, paying my monthly bills on-time. My evaporator coil went bad and needs replacement. Cinch is forcing me to either use their in-network HVAC vendor at a cost of $**, which I must pay out-of-pocket, or accept a minimal “claim credit” of $** (a difference of $1600) if I use my own contractor, while covering only the coil itself. They are recommending an obsolete R22 coil that will require future replacement when modern refrigerants are needed, effectively making me pay twice. Cinch is shortchanging me by shifting labor costs and offering a lowball payout that does not reflect the true value of the repair or my warranty fees. Their in-network HVAC vendor seems to be a complete swindler as they want $250 for pvc modification whereas I already have PVC available that can be re-used.
Overall, I feel frustrated and trapped because Cinch is forcing me to either use their vendor at a high cost or accept a lowball payout, while recommending obsolete equipment that will create future expenses. It feels unfair and exploitative, as my warranty fees should protect me from these kinds of financial burdens, not push me into paying twice for the same repair.
Imagine you bought a toy that’s supposed to come with free batteries forever. Now, the company says you can only get new batteries from their store, which charges $20, even though any store nearby sells the same batteries for $5. If you try to buy them somewhere else, they’ll only give you $2 back. That’s what Cinch is doing with my HVAC repair: they want me to use their expensive service or give me a tiny payout if I go elsewhere, even though my warranty should cover it.

On 04/09/2025, My Kenmore Refrigerator stopped working and needed repair. The Kenmore Refrigerator was a past Cinch replacement appliance. My Sears Home Warranty covers my Washer, Dryer, and Refrigerator. I opened a online service repair request for my Kenmore Refrigerator: Service Order # **. The Sears Cinch Home Warranty Services Customer Service informed me they had no contractors to evaluate, repair or service my refrigerator. I was told they could do nothing on their end and if I wanted my refrigerator repaired, I needed to locate a service repair person and pay them out of my pocket for the repair. I asked Sears Cinch Warranty customer service why I am being charged a monthly warranty fee for my appliances if they knowingly had no contractors to repair my appliances.
Of course I could not find any contractors on my own. I had to replace over $300 worth of spoiled food. I also had no choice but to purchase out of my pocket the total price for a new refrigerator from Home Depot: ORDER #**. Date Ordered: April 10, 2025. Order Total: $1,147.26. Sears Cinch Home Warranty Services also fraudulently charged me a $100.00 deductible for services they never had provided me. My Discover Credit Card Company refunded the $100.00 deductible. I also want to know if they have contractors available to make future repairs on the rest of the "covered" appliances?
If Cinch does not have contractors to repair my covered appliances, then I should have been notified prior to my appliances being in need of repair. I want a refund for the $1,147.26 cost of the new replacement refrigerator out of pocket cost and for the spoiled food replacement cost of $300.00 that is still owed to me.

I’ve always had warranties on any of my appliances since I purchased homes as far back as the ‘90s. And I felt that it was beneficial to have coverage. But Cinch, it was transferred. I was with a company that they bought out. And so, I ended up getting them.
And so far, I’ve used them twice. And I’ve been satisfied with the service that I’ve gotten. The individuals have been professional, respectful of my home, and have taken care of the issue. When I submit a claim, I call the number, they send me a link, and then I answer the questions. And then they tell me that the assigned company will call me back, and then I’ll schedule an appointment with them. So, I did.
And it was done in a timely manner. I had to wait about three days, but they got back to me. And during the time slot, he was present, and he was on time. He explained everything that needed to be done.
Unfortunately, on my part, I paid $150 for something that I needed batteries for. So, the fee that you have to pay initially, I had to pay that before they could come out. And so, when he came out, he said the unit was fine, but my thermostat needed batteries. So, I put batteries in there, and it started working again. So, that was $150 for batteries, the batteries that I supplied. It was a grand amount to have to pay for that. So, that’s the only thing that that they need to address. They need to revisit that policy.
And so far with Cinch, I haven’t had any issues with regards to them sending someone who was able to assist me in a timely fashion, was professional, and did what needed to be done. And what I like most is that I don’t have to hunt around for anybody. There’s gonna be a qualified person to take care of whatever my needs are. So, they’re reliable.

I wonder if Cinch is a scam. Why do they offer Insurance when they know they can't find available companies to go to people's homes? I have paid for Cinch for years since Sears went out of business and they took over their warranty services. A few years ago, my washer was having problems Cinch made me pay my deductible up front but could not find anyone available in my area to fix it so they told me to find someone to diagnose it. I couldn't find anyone. Most companies were not accepting new customers. So I had to go buy a new washer. Now I am having problems with my stove and the same situation I have to find someone to repair this. Isn't this what I pay cinch for? They took my deductible again before finding someone to help me. shouldn't they take the money after finding someone to fix my appliance? So here I am paying for this warranty I can't use and don't have a working stove. If I can find someone to fix this I have to pay up front and hope Cinch will pay me back but I won't know for sure until after I have the work done and I pay out of pocket and they don't make it easy I have to jump through hoops to follow the to do list step by step. It's easier just to go buy a new stove. In the end I will probably pay more to pay diagnose and fix this then to just go buy new and less time consuming. The money I have paid Cinch over the years I could have had money for a new stove and new washer without the hassle.

I called for service for my refrigerator not cooling. I paid the $150 deductible and a technician came out and made a repair. The tech said give it 5 to 7 hours to get the proper temp. After a day the refrigerator did get to the proper temperature but the freezer did not. After several days the refrigerator also stopped cooling. Went online and requested another service. A week later someone came to repair the refrigerator. After about 15 minutes the technician stated the refrigerator would cost to much to repair and it could stop cooling again. He, the repair technician that was hired by Cinch, stated he will submit this stating it will need to be replaced. For the next week and a half I tried to call and send messages with no response. I removed the refrigerator and took it to the dump. Today, almost 5 weeks later Cinch called and said they scheduled another technician to repair the refrigerator. I advised them the refrigerator is gone as their technician stated it cannot be fixed and needs replaced. Cinch stated then they are canceling the ticket and not paying to replace. I advised them that their technician was the one who said its not repairable and will need to be replaced. They were rude and stated sorry if the refrigerator is not there the ticket is canceled. I paid $150 for the deductible and have been without a refrigerator for almost 5 weeks. Horrible customer service, at least for the service repair side, and not worth the trouble.

I have had Cinch since April and I already made two claims for my furnace and air conditioner. The furnace had a short in it and the fuse would blow.

I’ve been with Cinch for about five years now and as a real estate agent, I used to use Cinch to help my clients have home warranties when they buy new homes.
I used their online system when filing claims. I've called so many times that I know how to bypass all of the prompts to directly get to somebody. You hit 0 three times. They're going to ask what my address is. I'll say, “Yes, that's my address.” And then I'm gonna hit 0 again, and it will send me directly to a person.
I've never had a problem with Cinch until very recently, to the point where I might switch home services. I have an HVAC that needs to be replaced. Cinch denied the claims to get it replaced. It has not been performing properly for two years already. Part of our agreement is that they'll replace or repair. I asked them to replace it because the system was old, but they said no because it was old and that it wasn't broken.
I had to pay for an HVAC system on my own. And that is upsetting because for two years I tried to get them to do this, and they sent me bad company after bad company. I’ve made about 100 calls for this. I've brought Cinch thousands upon dollars, tons of clients, tons of friends and I use them for my own properties. I got to the point where I was thinking of getting a lawyer because I have a good claim. I'm in a spot right now where I don't know if I want to do that, if I want to move on or not.
This is hard because I like Cinch a lot. I call all the time and tell them they are a good company and I refer them all the time. And them not wanting to replace the HVAC system, to me, is a breach of contract. I have the contract that we both signed said that they will replace or repair.
I would have been happy even if they replaced the condenser unit, which was the thing that was broken but the escalation department wouldn't even do that. Every time I tried to call customer service, it seemed like they all had the same knowledge, then sent it to escalation, then this department kept denying us the replacement. It seems like they're the problem. I understand they need to save company money.
Outside of this, the customer service was great. They were always nice, especially because I wasn't so nice sometimes. I appreciate them being patient with me and understanding that I have a business. And my business relies on their business.
We’re glad to hear that your early experiences and interactions with our customer service team have been positive, and that our online platform has served you well. That said, we’re deeply sorry for the frustration and disappointment surrounding the handling of your HVAC system. We understand how critical reliable coverage is, and we regret that your expectations weren’t met in this instance.

I enjoy having my home warranty with Cinch. When I call them or go online for the service, they are quick to respond. Everyone they have sent out was professional. I still don’t know what’s happening, but I appreciated them for explaining and what we can do in the future especially with the AC because no one teaches you what to do when you buy a home. The contractor was giving us suggestions on what we can try doing to alleviate anything, to clean something out and to get maintenance.
When I was using the app, I had questions, but I had to put a down payment down before I could get them answered to see if that was what I needed. Our down payment is $200 but if we needed a new something, it’s $300. They give options, but I don’t know if that’s the right one and I hope I’m not penalized for it. I wish there were more options and a number to call if I have a question or like the little auto chat thing before I made the payment. Sometimes the phone can be too much and I know a lot of places are doing the AI robot thing where you can chat with them and they can probably have answers to your questions. I thought that would be a good idea.
I appreciate that Cinch uses third-party contractors because it lets me know in the future that I can go to that business because of the service they’ve provided for me and I can refer them to other people. And I do appreciate Cinch for everything. I’ve even referred them to my grandmother and one of my best friends who was having health issues.

I’ve been with Cinch for almost two years. I’ve had a home warranty before. One was terrible and I wanted another one. I did some research on what might be the other one and I saw some reviews on Cinch that were decent.
When submitting a claim, I make a phone call and pay for it over the phone. And they send someone out. It's quick. The contractor I’ve dealt with has been good. He fixed the problem for me with the HVAC, the repair issue was that the blower was really dirty, and the HVAC wasn’t up to speed. It needed some refrigerant. He figured out which parts needed attention. Now, it's functioning great. He did a great job.
Here's my one complaint I have about them. When you call, you can't get a human. And they want you to schedule something and pay for it. Sometimes, I need to ask “Is this something my policy is gonna cover? Do you have somebody in your list that can cover this issue for me?” When somebody comes, it's good.

When I purchased my home, it was recommended that we get home warranty insurance. Repairs are handled well. This recent one, they came out very quickly and it was great. Sometimes, communication when setting up the appointment is difficult, though. Also, the charge for a visit has gone up a lot in the last 10 years. I'm not happy with $150 to walk in the door. The amount has tripled since I started having home warranty service.
The automated system for filing claims doesn't work. It has glitches I tried it one time. I started to do it, but is doesn't let me complete doing it online. Then when I spoke to someone, they told me, "You already have a claim in," because the person had done one. There were suddenly two. There is a problem with their automated system and I'm not happy with that. I'm probably not gonna try using the automated system anymore. It’s a lot of wasted time. I'll call up directly. I'm old-school and I like to be able to call up and speak to someone. Every time I try to use the automated system, I end up needing to speak to someone anyway. In general, a home warranty is a good idea. I have recommended getting home warranty insurance to other people, and if they asked me who I was using, I would tell them.

I had another service provider and then Cinch bought them out, and so I just continued with this company. They simplified the claim process even more. They give you a category as to where your service might fall under. You state that, and then they will tell you if you have to pay your deposit or what your allotment is first. And then they will provide a company. They don't give you a choice of different companies. They tell you what's available and provide it.
When I called, I couldn't connect with the company. In some kind of way, they called and got the person to come out after two days. Usually, they will have someone call you either that evening or definitely the next day. But with this last occurrence, that's the only thing that didn't happen.
I know everything is getting higher, but I think some of the jobs might be minor. 200 is a little steep, so I try to make sure it's an actual need.
When I had an issue with the doorbell, the contractors came out at least twice. It will work for a little bit, but not long-term at all. So, I stopped calling about it because it's a lot to throw away money on something that's not going to last.
I've had one company in the past that used a layered approach. But they were right on time to make sure they got every issue solved, and I never had any more problems. Cinch is comprehensive with the companies that are provided. The quality of the contractors sent has been pretty good. They seem to know what they're doing. What I like best is that they're able to fix the problem, whatever it might be. Some of the companies and representatives are more personable than others. The last one wasn’t person-oriented at all. But he fixed the problem. I hope they can be more personable.

A friend of mine who runs an appliance repair business told me that he was working with Cinch. He said I should get on board with them because it was the same with Sears(which I had then), except they have plans where you can cover all your appliances for more or less the same amount of money. And if they can't cover it, they'll fix it or pay for it.
I've only used them at least three times in the last few years. I know you can do it online, and calling is a bit of a challenge. What I don't like about online request is that you cannot choose the company you prefer to come out. For example, my friend runs his appliance repair business. I prefer to use him because he's my friend. I know where he lives. I know he won't mess around, as opposed to a company I've never heard of, which may come out and may not do such a good job. I mentioned this to Cinch the last time I spoke to them two weeks ago.
When I call, it's hard for me to get another human. It's all automated. When I get someone, they put me through to the claims department. And then I tell them ''I want to use All Appliance Pros,'' and then they put me through.
One time, they sent out somebody from Brooklyn and it was not a good experience. It was a terrible experience. He tried to say that there was no problem. Then I showed him the problem. He said he would get back to me but he never did. And when I called them, they said they would take care of it. And two days later, Cinch emailed me with a payout. The technician wasn't going to do the repair. And he basically put it through as a total job. So, I called back Cinch and told them this is why I like to call and refer my friend's company or a company I know. Other than that the claims process is pretty good when you get a human on the phone.
Cinch is a little pricey. But again, if I had a dryer break, and it was old, and the guy came and couldn't fix it, I like the option that they’ll either give me a replacement for no cost to me other than the deductible or they'll give me a payout and then I could put that towards buying whatever machine I want.
My friend who runs his business told me recently, even though I pay a $150 deductible plus $56 a month, it's still cheaper than calling him cold for him to come. He says he charges $250 and up and then just to walk in the door.
When I call, sometimes I get someone hard to understand. So, it's a little difficult to have the back and forth when you're trying to be specific. But they're very nice and very knowledgeable, so I've never had to hang up or scream at somebody.
Robert, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience with Cinch!

Cinch came as part of the warranty when I went through my mortgage process to purchase my house and I’ve had them for about four years now. They have an online process that you submit a claim for. It involves identifying the appliance so that they can provide better service. They set up an appointment with a local vendor that they deal with. That vendor reaches out, sets up an appointment to come to the house in order to assess and potentially fix the issue. Their online service is really easy to use. It's better than most sites I've ever been on.
I've probably submitted three or four claims. Most of them were very minor but I had one claim that wasn’t completed in a timely manner. I felt the pain on that one because it was the refrigerator going out, and that suddenly required us to purchase $50 to $60 worth of ice to keep food products cool. I reached out to them but they said they don’t reimburse ice. That's the closest I've had to a bad experience with them.
I've spoken to the local vendors that they deal with and they've always been really respectful. They've reached out and tried to do what they could to help resolve the issue. And when they couldn't, they would explain and we would understand what was going on.
I really like having the service because it takes home ownership a little bit closer to that rental ownership, like when something breaks, you can call the landlord and say, “This needs to be fixed.” It's nice to have sort of that same process with major appliances around the house. “Hey, the AC went out. Let me call and get them work on it right away.”
Overall, I recommend Cinch Home Services.
We understand the inconvenience caused by the refrigerator delay and appreciate your patience through that situation. While we regret not being able to cover the cost of ice, we’re grateful for your understanding and continued trust.
Your recommendation means a lot, and we’re committed to making every experience even better moving forward. Thanks again for being part of the Cinch family!- Brooklyn

I usually submit claims through a call. Then the automated system sends me a text with a link to start the claims process. The contractors are good quality, the ones that actually do what they're supposed to do. But I definitely had to change two different contractors.
One came out. And I don't know if he was trying to sell me his services. I had to get HVAC done and he wasn't reporting to them what was going on. So, they sent out another contractor. And he could see that I needed a new system. He got me a new system, but I don't know what that was about.

Cinch has been, so far, the best home warranty that I’ve had because of what’s included in my package. I have been trying to get my brother to cancel his warranty from another service provider because he doesn’t have the coverage that I have. The last claim that I called in was for my garbage disposal. I had to pay $150 for something that I could have done myself. The technician was in here for no more than three minutes. I hope that didn’t affect how many times I put in a claim, because that was for no reason.
One thing with Cinch, though, I had to replace my black refrigerator, but they offered me a white one or money. I didn’t know if they would offer me the same color of the appliance. The main thing overall is I am really pleased with the technicians. They have been professional and got the job done. They have been the best.

I got Cinch eight years ago when I bought a house. The experience has been okay. I submit the claims online and it's all automated. The process is fairly easy. I'm not too good with the automation, but I got through it. When asking for an operator, the call is AI-generated, but you can speak to a representative eventually.
It's just when you have an appliance go out and you have to submit a request, it could be days later before you get actual service. Recently, the air condition wouldn't quit running, and so I cut it off. I had to call another provider and pay for it out of pocket and Cinch won't reimburse that because it's not their provider.
Their providers seem to be fairly knowledgeable, but I would recommend improvements for having quicker service and having to call an outside person for an emergency service ahead of just waiting for a Cinch service provider to call you.
They give 24 hours for the service person to call you. If they can't work on the appliance because of the brand, they take another 24 hours to find somebody else. I had that with a Bosch dishwasher. The first provider couldn't fix it and it took the second provider a couple of days to come fix it.

I’m done with Cinch. They were a wonderful company when they were TotalProtect, but when Cinch took over, they’ve become the worst company to deal with ever. I was with them 14 years with only four claims the entire time. My Realtor paid for my first two years when we bought the home.
The AC went out about three months after we moved in, and they replaced my outside unit only, which was against code in the state of Florida, but I didn’t know that at the time. Two weeks after that, the water heater went out and they replaced that, but the contractors they used were not licensed and used stainless steel fitters. In two years, they started rusting pretty bad and the entire water heater fell out of my wall and tore the gas line out of the wall. Luckily, the original gas lines that were installed with the original water heater were flex cuff couplings, so it didn't actually break the gas lines, but the water heater was at a 45-degree angle.
My AC inside unit went out, and they tried to repair it for a month, but they couldn’t seem to find the problem with it. They finally sent out their senior technician, and he found that there was a small hole in the coil, and the unit was so incredibly old that it would need to be replaced because they didn't make the size coil anymore. The owner then called me up to say they could modify a new coil, fit it in there and have the AC back up running again, and I said okay. He submitted the report and Cinch wouldn’t authorize it, but they would put the request through the department that makes decisions on claims. I never heard back from them. And I couldn’t reach out Cinch. I would get a call center in a different country that could only send emails. Nobody from Cinch bothered to call me, so I got fed up and canceled my membership.
Two weeks later, somebody from Cinch called and offered me a lower rate from $59 to $39, and I told them, “I just dropped $8000 for a brand-new AC unit, you could offer me $1 a month for the next 25 years and I wouldn't do even do it,” and hung up. They've tried to call back three times, but there is no chance I’m going back to them.
Norman, Thank you for being a Cinch customer for 14 years. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience has declined after such a long relationship. The issues you’ve faced with your AC and water heater, along with the communication breakdowns, are deeply concerning and not reflective of the service we strive to provide.

I’ve been with Cinch ever since I got the one-year warranty that came with the home, and I just continued the service. But I just had to file a claim because my air conditioner went out, and I just didn’t like the way the air condition contractor went about it. Cinch is ordering a motor, which is $500, but they didn’t send anybody that can clean the unit. Now I’m stuck in a position where I’m incurring another fee and have to pay for someone else to clean it before they put the motor on.
It’s an inconvenience because it’s about to be 90 degrees and I have small children in my home, yet I have to go six days with a hot house. The repair person wants me to send pictures to prove that it’s cleaned out before they’ll be out Tuesday. He said he had to get in touch with Cinch to find out if they will cover the motor, but Cinch didn’t call me back.
Why didn’t Cinch send someone that does the cleaning as well? Everyone they’ve sent up to now gave me quick results with no issues, so it really depends on who they send for you to get those results.

Our Realtor convinced us that Cinch was better than the one we had in Alaska. We've only had two things right now to deal with Cinch, and both have been a nightmare. What stood out was the fact that it took them six weeks to finally find somebody who knew what they were talking about on our hot water. We were without hot water for six weeks.
Their people just sit there and read what they're told to tell customers. It gets monotonous and ridiculous when you're not getting any solid answers for what your problem is. I ended up getting very upset with one of the guys because we just kept going around in circles. And then it finally came back to where he's worded it in a way that I could understand what he was trying to say, and then we understood where this was going.
They had asked us to send a copy of our home inspection since we had just bought the house, and we had an issue with the water softener. When I finally got to talk to the supervisor, what it came down to was that there was a sticker about rental on the old water softener, and it was just the name of the company. But they were reading that somehow we were renting this water softener, which makes absolutely no sense. This was the reason they kept denying our repairs. And then, when they finally understood that this is not a rental property, they sent somebody out to repair it.
For the most recent issue, they sent a guy out. He came out and told them that the central air conditioner was almost 30 years old. He felt that just throwing one part at it will not fix the problem, that it needed the whole unit replaced.
The contractor called us and said he’s going to walk away from this job because what Cinch is doing doesn’t feel right for him. They wanted him to just replace a part but that would cost me some other things. I called him back and asked him to give me a quote for the whole unit. At that time, we were getting ready to go out of the country for two weeks. We got 14 animals in this house, and it's July, and it's in the 90s. I'm not leaving them in the house without suitable air conditioning. He gave me a quote, and we moved forward with it. Cinch, on the otherhand, hasn't reimbursed us for anything.
Around three weeks ago, I had a lady call me to sort this thing out because I left a very bad review. She told me I’m going to get a call from somebody and go over how they can help compensate us because we bought an entire new unit.
I'm trying to figure out why we at least didn't get the money that was going to cost us to replace the part that they were originally going to replace, to help offset the almost $7000 we paid to get a whole new unit. It's been almost three weeks, and I haven't heard a thing from anybody. And my wife keeps trying to call them, and she can't get anybody. I'm not happy with their service. When our annual mark comes around and we can walk away, that's probably what's going to happen. I don't believe there's anything they can do right now to keep our service. I wouldn't even recommend them to an enemy.

For the most part, Cinch has been responsive. There are times that the businesses they work with need to improve. They took a while to fix the issue. And they weren't really responsive.
The first one was the boiler issue. Thank goodness, it wasn't cold. It was going into spring that's why we didn't really make a big deal about it. But if it was in the wintertime, that would have been an issue. Cinch did not have the flexibility to change workers and they had to finish the work.
The second one went really well. It was a quick service for the hot water tank issue. Initially I got in contact with the business who was going to fix the water tank. They claimed that Cinch did not inform them that there was an appointment set so their rep adjusted the appointment.
I made a mistake on my part because I said it was a boiler issue but Cinch helped out and changed the work order to hot water tank. We had to cancel with the other guys because since it was a hot water tank, Cinch only allows certified plumbers to do it. They got me a certified plumber. And they were there the next day. And they said they had to change out the hot water tank. That was done really quickly so, everything turned out great.
There's something Cinch can definitely improve in. They finished the job, but it didn't go smoothly both times. Although one was my fault. But even if it wasn't my fault, I had to call them to make the appointment because they weren't calling me back.
I don't think I would recommend them at the moment. All the employees of Cinch were professional and nice. They’re good at handling customers. However, the process of getting service requests is something they need to work on.

I've had Cinch since it was a previous home warranty and its name was changed. When filing a claim, I call and it's difficult, especially when you want talk to someone to get some clarification. The calls are automated. It's hard to reach someone without having to pay a deductible first. Every time I call, I'm always getting a foreigner that I could barely understand. I would suggest improving accessibility with actual agents, customer service, and having more people to talk to on the phone and not talking to automated services.
I also have to do more of the legwork now. I'm responsible for contacting the technician. Before, Cinch contacted the company and they would send a technician to me at the available time. Now, I have to call the person and I have to stay on the technician to make sure that they send their parts so Cinch can approve of the repair or not. The technicians have been quite fair. I haven't had a bad one. I might've had one who wasn't as knowledgeable, but most of them are pretty fair and straightforward.
The most recent thing I had was a hot water tank burst and I called about it. My wife was able to get an actual person on the phone that time. They were supposed to schedule for a technician to come out as soon as possible. That was a Saturday at that point and I never heard from anyone. So what I had to end up doing was call a local service myself and they got somebody out. But they charged me $4,000 to bring the new one, take out the old one, and attach the new one. I did not accept that. We bought one ourselves and installed it with the help from my best friend who does heat and air.
I'm actually thinking about just saving my own money and paying out of pocket myself for my own repairs now.

I tried to submit my claim over the phone, which winds up being quite difficult ‘cause I do not like the automated service and the way it functions. Eventually, I get to a representative, but the shortest time to get to a person was about 25 minutes. The longest was 45 minutes.
Cinch could not provide a service technician in my area. That’s why I left the company. It’s been two separate calls. I had a leak in my house for over two months, and they sent the wrong people. The service was horrible, people coming with holes in their clothes, and windows missing on their vehicle.
I actually know some service technicians because they own their companies. Two of them used to be with HMS. When HMS went to Cinch, they said they both left ‘cause the service was so bad.
So, in Clarksville, Tennessee, they could not find me a plumber. They sent someone from over an hour away who rescheduled four weeks in a row. Long story short, I wind up having to pay for all my service. I sent them a paid receipt, only for them to reject half the items that the plumber did and paid me a small fee.
I initially sent them the quote from the plumber. The warranty said they would only pay after it’s done. I told them it completely negates their service. I didn’t sign up to be reimbursed for a fee that I couldn’t afford. It was $900 dollars. So, I had to wait, save up my own $900, only for them to pay me back $731.
Why do I have this service if it’s not for unexpected bills? In the two months I had to save, they were consistently billing me and not providing service. I had to go find my own contractor, then they reimbursed me only partially.
After waiting 14 days for the reimbursement, Cinch mailed me a check. I couldn’t even cancel the service before I got the check, hoping that they would actually validate it. While I’m waiting for the check, they’re still billing me.
This happened on two different claims. The first time this happened, it was for an electrical issue, and I was still reimbursed. It wasn’t a heavy fee. I was pissed, but they covered the whole thing.
The second time it happened was two years later. They didn’t pay for it. By then, I was with the company over five years, paying all these monthly fees.
Cinch’s customer service is horrible. I had argued with people ‘cause no one wanted me to get the managers. I had to tell them I’m recording them for my legal service before they transferred me to the person. That’s the only thing that shocked them.
I’m a doctor at a university and I have plenty of legal friends. I had to get them involved by saying, “Oh, yes. Let me inform you that this call is also being recorded for legal purposes. ‘Cause I have a water leak in my house for over 60 days.”
25 minutes later, someone comes on the phone and tells me whatever. I had to take this little bit of money they were gonna reimburse me or just go on about my business. Their customer service sucked.
I just canceled today. When it asked me why, I said, “Customer service.” That was at 9:00 AM this morning.

I called Cinch and asked why it wasn't covered. They said that it was covered, and they contacted a different service provider.
On July 23, 2025, Allstar Plumbing came out and told me that the bathtub pipe was not covered under the warranty.
On July 30, 2025, I called Cinch and asked for a refund of the $200.00 deductible. They said that they have not received a report from the provider. I escalated to a supervisor and said that I would receive an email update.
On August 1, 2025, I called Cinch for an update and spoke with a supervisor from the escalation team. They told me that the deductible was not refundable because the provider said the pipe had not been installed properly. I have been in this house for a year and a half without a leak in this bathtub.
This supervisor was very rude and unprofessional; she did not listen to my point of view and kept saying, Is that all? is that all? She was determined not to refund the deductible.
Cinch Home Services works with the bottom-of-the-barrel contractors who try to get more money from the homeowner by saying the service job is more than the warranty covers.
DO NOT USE CINCH HOME SERVICES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER HOUSE. THEY HAVE A BUILT-IN WAY TO GET OUT OF PROVIDING SERVICE AND NOT REFUNDING THE DEDUCTABLE.
I have filed a complaint with the BBB.

They're a scam.Called for service on refrigerator. They scheduled telling us they would be there between 8AM-4PM and cancelled last minute via text 3 times after waiting at home all day. Called to complain and they authorized getting our own service provider. Refrigerator was diagnosed and was deemed un-repairable and parts are longer available for the model we have.
The contract says they'll replace if they can't fix. They keep asking for "cause of failure and part numbers". with robo-messages, we send in what they asked for and they keep saying they need the "cause of failure and part numbers".

People beware. As long as your problem is just a part to repair an item then cinch is fine, but if it's a replacement then forget it. My last claim with cinch was for a hot water heater. I paid the 125.00 deductible. Cinch sent out a contractor who spent 5 mins at my house, took a few pics and said the water heater needed to be replaced. He said he would have to send a request to cinch for approval. Now my contract with cinch is the ultra through TXU, my local electric provider. My contract was for repair or if it can't be repaired it would be replaced. Well the report went to cinch on a Thursday and by the following Thursday, it was still not approved lor denied. Everyone I reached out to cinch, I was told it would take 24 to to 48 hours. As of this day the contractors report was accepted and still under review. I believe cinch will keep dragging its feet until their customer will go and pay out of their own pocket because they need the water heater. Again as of this date over a week out, cinch still as not approved or denied my claim. But guess what, I have hot water.

Original Review: July 22, 2025
WARNING: Cinch Home Services (Sears Home Services) is a SCAM — Stay Away or You’ll Deeply Regret It!
I need to WARN everyone about the absolute nightmare I just went through with Cinch Home Services, also known as Sears Home Services — this is hands down the most dishonest, unethical, and incompetent company I’ve ever dealt with in my life. They are scammers, plain and simple. Their entire operation is built around taking your monthly payments and then finding every possible excuse NOT to help you when you actually need them.
Here’s what happened:On a Tuesday morning, I called them because my water heater completely failed — no hot water at all, four small children in my house, unable to wash dishes, shower, do laundry — this was an urgent situation. They assigned a technician, and I called him repeatedly all day. He ignored me until the next day, then finally showed up just to say: “Yeah, this unit’s 22 years old, it should really be replaced.” DUH.
So what did Cinch do? They stalled. They delayed. They dragged their feet while my family sat with no hot water for days. Then they admitted they didn’t even have a tech available to replace the unit! Their solution? They tried to convince me to accept a “repair” — installing a $600 module on a 22-year-old leaking, corroded water heater that ANYONE can see is beyond repair. It was absolutely absurd. But desperate for hot water and with no help coming, I took their so-called "repair credit" of $493 and hired my own technician.
My technician came the SAME DAY and took one look at this water heater and said exactly what anyone with common sense would say: "This is leaking in multiple places, corroded, and dead. It can’t be repaired. It needs to be replaced." I called Cinch back immediately and they hit me with another blow:
They told me since I accepted their manipulative little “repair credit,” they now refused to cover my water heater at all — they just washed their hands of it completely.
And if that wasn’t enough insult, they charged me another $100 to send another tech to confirm what I already told them — that it was leaking and shot. That second tech was shocked when he saw it and said “I can’t believe they kept you without hot water for 10 days — we could have replaced this immediately.”
So what happened next? Cinch basically shrugged their shoulders, blamed ME for trusting them, and left me hanging. I was forced to go out and spend nearly $4,000 out of my own pocket to replace this water heater — AFTER paying Cinch over $8,000 over five years in warranty premiums ($135/month!) for “peace of mind” that they blatantly refused to provide.
And this isn’t even the first time this happened! Same story with my pool heater last year — no responses, endless delays, and I was left with no service for over six weeks. They just string you along, stall, frustrate you until you give up or agree to one of their “credits” so they can void your coverage.
Their customer service? WORST I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.You’ll spend HOURS on hold. They’ll promise callbacks that never happen. Supervisors are nowhere to be found. They give you an email address online to make it seem professional, like they’ll handle your issue seriously — but it’s all an illusion. NO ONE ever answers that email. It’s a fake “support system” designed to waste your time and get you off the phone.
And every time you speak to someone, they sound polite and apologetic, but it’s just an act. They don’t care about you. They don’t care that you have kids in the house without hot water. They don’t care that your basement is leaking. They lie to you. They manipulate you. They push you to take worthless “credits” so they can deny you real help. They stall until you’re forced to pay out of pocket.
This company does not honor its contracts. It does not protect its customers. It does not fix your appliances. It does not respect your time or money.
Cinch Home Services is a fraudulent company running a massive scam. They are not a legitimate home warranty provider. They are predators preying on people who think they’re buying protection and peace of mind.
So let me be clear:If you’re thinking of doing business with Cinch or Sears Home Services — RUN.
They will take your money every month and then completely abandon you when you have a problem.
They will lie to you, string you along, give you the runaround, and leave you in worse shape than when you started.
I am switching to American Home Shield immediately and cutting all ties with this disgraceful company.
Do yourself a favor and STAY FAR AWAY from Cinch Home Services — they are dishonest, unprofessional, unreliable, and SCAMMERS.
Absolute trash company.

Filing claims can be quite inconsistent with Cinch Home; the quality largely hinges on the contractor. While some contractors have delivered promising results, others have left me disappointed, to the extent of requesting a change. Navigating their customer service is another hurdle. The company greatly emphasizes online communication, which makes it challenging to speak to a real person directly. When it comes to the coverage, they exclude a lot of things that break and that's not something I'm particularly pleased with. The pricing has also been a concern. Although some increase is expected, they have augmented the premium amid the COVID pandemic without adequately notifying customers, which I found to be misleading. The updates regarding costs should be more transparent to help users make informed decisions. Other than that, I was very pleased about my recent claim with Cinch.
Sergei - Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We truly appreciate your feedback—both the positive and the constructive. We're glad to hear your recent claim went well, but we’re sorry to learn that other aspects of your experience have been inconsistent.

Absolutely abysmal service. They sent someone out to address a mold/mildew issue on 7/9 and was told in 48 hours I would be contacted by Cinch with a report from the visit and what moving forward with this request would look like. Today is 7/21 and I have still not been contacted. I sat on hold for 45 minutes before I finally was able to speak to someone, after 3 weeks of calling and never getting through. I was told that they had not been contacted by the third party with their report. I asked why they had not reached out to them when the 48 hours had passed and was told "we don't do that". I asked to speak to management and was transferred to an "escalation supervisor" who was even less help. Saying "there is nothing we can do until we hear from the third party".

My AC went out. Paid my $150 deductible and a contractor was assigned. However, contractor never responded. Called CINCH back for an update and was told one wasn't available for 10 days. Due to the ongoing extreme heat (consistently between 89–93°F), I requested an escalation. Then, I was approved for alternate provider. However, I was informed I would be responsible for the diagnostic fee, which I accepted and paid. I submitted the diagnosis and relevant information to CINCH on the same day. I have made multiple attempts to resolve the issue in good faith, only to be met with delays and a lack of communication. 10 days after initial contact, I am still without AC, resolution, reimbursement, or even a timeframe in which I might expect an answer on next steps. CINCH is displaying poor customer service and a poor business practice! Beware!

I called for service, they sent someone out to take pictures, then no updates. Today my entire house flooded due to the faulty water heater. I called Cinch for help, I was on hold for over an hour, when I asked where the replacement was, the customer service rep asked if I thought he could magically make it appear. He also asked me at one point if I was even listening to him. I requested to speak to someone else and he left me on hold for 20 plus minutes then came back and said I could not.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Our experience with Cinch has been a complete nightmare.
Our AC stopped working during a severe heatwave. The first technician they sent was completely incompetent and failed to diagnose the actual issue. We ended up hiring a local, licensed technician who found a coil leak and confirmed the entire unit needs to be replaced. Our system is 35 to 40 years old. This is not a quick fix.
Cinch has done nothing but stall. Every time we call, it is a different representative and we have to start the story all over again. Even though their rep told me three separate times that Freon was covered, they are now refusing to reimburse us and are blaming me for not reading the fine print. I asked clear questions and was given clear answers, but now they are backtracking.
In the meantime, my elderly dog is suffering in the heat, I developed a throat infection from the stress, and I have had to shut down my small business. I have already lost over $3,500 in income and that number keeps growing.
I have started recording all calls. I live in Indiana, which is a one-party consent state, so it is fully legal. I have filed complaints with the BBB and the Attorney General and I am currently exploring legal action.

Submitting a claim with Cinch has improved with their app; however, it could use some enhancements. For instance, when my ice maker broke, the app didn't have that specific option, so I had to improvise. My suggestion is to add a text box for users to describe their problems.
Overall, my interactions with their contractors have been excellent. Everyone I've engaged with has been professional and friendly. While Cinch is generally efficient, there was one hiccup with our HVAC. Even though it was the same recurring issue, because over 90 days had passed since the last repair, I had to pay another deductible, which seemed unreasonable since it was clearly the same problem.

I’ve been a loyal Sears Home Warranty customer (now Cinch Home Services) for over 6 years, paying thousands of dollars for what I believed was peace of mind. But when it came time for them to actually deliver on their promise, they failed miserably.
My AC unit broke during the peak of summer, and it’s now been over a month with no resolution. The company took 2.5 weeks just to locate a part, another week to schedule a visit, and then sent an incompetent technician who installed the wrong circuit board. He left important wires hanging, some connections we just left open and then told us point-blank that “Sears only paid him to replace the board.” The unit is still not working — and yet they marked the service complete.
We’ve called multiple times, were promised manager callbacks that never came, and got nothing but excuses and delays. Out of desperation, I hired a local technician at my own expense, only to confirm the replaced circuit board was wrong and an incomplete installation which was dangerous.
This company is quick to collect monthly payments, but when it’s their turn to step up, they disappear. I now have young children living in a home over 90°F indoors because of this failure.
Consumer beware: this is not a real warranty — it’s a broken system designed to delay, deny, and deflect. What’s the point of paying into a home warranty for years if you get no real help when it matters most?
Hi Bijal, I see our Executive representative Davel has been working your claim and she will be your point of contact for the resolution of your claim. I appreciate you bringing this to our attention! Thank you, Brooklyn

Throughout my time with Cinch, my experiences have been varied. During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, getting assistance, especially for something like a dishwasher, was quite a challenge. However, in other situations, the process has been fine.
I have a 50/50 approach when it comes to contacting them. While I predominantly used the phone to avoid automated systems, I occasionally attempted online setups. Unfortunately, the online service is hit or miss—sometimes my requests went through smoothly, while other times I had to call them again after my online request wasn’t processed properly, leading to delays.
One aspect that's concerning is the incremental increase in charges every year. Initially, we were paying around $40-something a month, which has now escalated to around $69. This consistent price hike doesn't sit well with me.
Tracy - Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience with Cinch. We apologize for any inconvenience faced while seeking assistance during the peak of the pandemic. It's reassuring to hear that, in general, the process has been satisfactory when reaching out for service.

My experience with Cinch hasn't mirrored the positive one my realtor described. I encountered a major issue with my refrigerator shortly after moving in. Having opted for their premium plan, I expected smooth assistance. However, the technician sent informed me the refrigerator was still under a manufacturer warranty, valid only for the original purchaser. This left me in a difficult situation. Over two weeks, I sought resolution, making daily calls, and presented proof to highlight my lack of qualification under the manufacturer's warranty. During this time, without a working refrigerator, I experienced significant financial strain. Instead of assisting, Cinch suggested that handling the warranty was my responsibility. This was very disappointing, especially given the cost of their premium service. Their lack of support during this trying time left me with an unfavorable view of the company.
Lydia - We regret to hear about the challenges you faced with obtaining adequate support for your refrigerator issue through Cinch.

Buyer beware! I wouldn’t renew or recommend Cinch Home warranty Services to anyone. They denied claim, without proper consideration— refused reconsidering and wouldn’t allow me to appeal to higher authority level management, representative indicated he was the highest level and my case was closed. Denial of AC claim was vague as I was told, because case was closed, I would have to reopen and pay another $150 deductible for any additional claim consideration.

There have been delays with Cinch' response time. I filed a claim about an issue with my stove countertop, and although it's still open, I haven't heard back from them. They determined that the countertop was glued in place when it was actually caulked and avoid making repairs, suggesting that I find another contractor. The communication surrounding this has been frustratingly non-existent—as no updates or callbacks were made after this.
In terms of contractors used, I found them to be average. They're neither particularly interested in resolving the core issue nor proactive, which doesn’t inspire confidence. There’s a clear disconnect in ensuring the client understands the service they're getting, and they could improve significantly by facilitating better interactions and updates between the contractors and clients. Customers should not always be the ones chasing for status updates.
Overall, I give them an average rating, across the service and coverage, including customer service and online tools, all lying in the middle range of satisfaction. The most critical aspect would be customer follow-up; ensuring clear and proactive communication could vastly improve my experience with Cinch Home Services.

I've been with Cinch for many years, even before when they operated as HMS. I initially heard about them through my work as a realtor since I often deal with such services in my profession. My overall experience has been largely positive. The claims process is straightforward, and I even recommend their home warranties to my clients. I purchased a warranty for my son when he bought his house last summer.
However, I did encounter some challenges recently. I put in a claim for a brand-new air conditioner that Cinch replaced last year because it wasn't working properly. Despite the quick and efficient service I received in the past, the earliest available appointment this time was over a week away. While I understand the current high demand, it's frustrating to endure higher-than-desired indoor temperatures, especially with a new unit that I've invested a lot of money in. Fortunately, Cinch is working on getting me a service appointment sooner.
Finding providers can sometimes be difficult, and I’ve noticed service people occasionally seem uncertain about the payment process. On the bright side, Cinch has been accommodating in allowing me to find my own service providers when necessary, which is quite convenient. Overall, while there have been minor hitches, the company’s support and my past experiences affirm the value they bring.

Cinch Home Services was recommended by my real estate agent while I was purchasing my home in August 2021 and my experience has been positive overall.
Submitting claims is a straightforward process, and I've appreciated the user-friendly tools available on their website. There was only one instance where I experienced trouble submitting a claim because the system mistakenly connected it to a previous issue. Thankfully, their customer service guided me through resolving it.
The contractors from Cinch have been excellent so far. They tend to issues efficiently, helping manage the anxieties of home ownership. While I believe there's room for improvement with the online tools for submitting claims, it's understandable in our current technological landscape.
Customer service has been satisfactory, allowing me to multitask while working from home as I wait on hold. It's manageable and similar to what you find widely elsewhere these days. The coverage provided by Cinch is commendable, even if the pricing can feel a bit frustrating due to rising costs.
What I appreciate most is the reduction of stress Cinch provides in home ownership. The sense of security from knowing repairs are efficiently managed is invaluable. I often tell friends and family that having this service makes home ownership more enjoyable and less daunting.
Though there was a technical glitch with my claim involving a faulty toilet, customer service resolved the mix-up distinctively since it was different from an earlier incident. This reassurance reinforced my trust in their service. Despite the hiccup, my overall satisfaction remains high, and I would encourage others to consider Cinch for their home warranty needs.

We knew there would be some issues with the house, so we asked the sellers to put it in the contract. They went with Cinch Home Services. I've been using their service for about seven and a half months since December. The process of submitting a claim is straightforward for me as I prefer using their website rather than calling, mainly because I'm not a fan of talking on the phone. The site works well as long as I remember my password.
My experience with the contractors has been mixed. For instance, the first contractor for my refrigerator never called me back, but once Cinch assigned a new provider, everything went smoothly. The quality of service from contractors varied, with the refrigerator guy earning an 8, the plumber a 4, and, unfortunately, the first refrigerator guy would get a 0 for lack of communication. Luckily, I eventually figured things out myself. Regarding the service itself, I've been quite satisfied, mostly because of Cinch's responsiveness, although I wish the service was less expensive. Whether I'll renew is still up in the air, but so far, my interactions with Cinch have been generally positive.

I made a claim with Cinch Home for a plumbing issue which was handled by a plumber from a company called On Target.

My daughter, also my realtor, intervened and through some maneuvering, hooked me up with these other people out of Murfreesboro, Tennessee who were also from Cinch Home's system.

His thorough and professional handling was noteworthy. However, I had another issue with my air conditioning unit which failed to keep up with the heat. On Target was dispatched once more, but the representative was unable to locate my address and displayed poor professionalism, arriving in flip-flops and taking ineffective checks around the house.

While I thought about switching to another company a few times, I decided to stay with Cinch because transitioning to a new service often requires waiting periods and I required immediate coverage, which Cinch effectively provided.

I've experienced paying a deductible and having a service technician arrive the very next day, even sometimes on the same day. However, I faced a frustrating situation with my washing machine.

When it comes to submitting a claim, it's like a roll of the dice with Cinch. Sometimes it's straightforward, but more often than not, getting someone on the phone is nearly impossible. There have been instances where I submitted a claim and paid the deductible, only to be told later that the issue wasn't covered. This lack of upfront communication and the missing human touch is frustrating.
For example, I faced problems when my fridge malfunctioned. After going through the hassle of filing a claim and paying, I learned that the repair wasn’t covered. This happened to me on three occasions, leading me to consider switching companies. However, when my AC gave trouble quite recently, they handled it promptly and efficiently, which convinced me to renew for another year.
The contractors' quality often suffers due to the extensive fine print detailing coverage that isn’t expressed until after filing the ticket. You’re expected to pay the deductible just to find out if they cover your issue, leading to a feeling of it being somewhat of a rip-off.
If I were to rate Cinch, I'd settle on a 3 overall due to both positive and negative experiences. For customer service and coverage, the experience is varied. Additionally, Cinch's prices don't seem competitive as their deductibles are significantly higher than some competitors like HomeShield. Their online tools deserve a 3 as well – usable but not exceptional.

Initially, navigating Cinch's automated system was incredibly frustrating. I spent hours trying to reach a real person, caught in a loop of prompts and long waits only to be disconnected and have to start over. As someone who's generally comfortable with technology, I found this process unnecessarily complex and inconvenient.
The technician who eventually came to my home for service was proficient and recognized from previous visits. However, my main issue was scheduling. The service provider suggested didn't seem efficient considering their distance from my location, which would have left me waiting nearly 28 days. This was not acceptable since I care for a family member with special health needs.
I faced additional challenges when trying to understand what my warranty covers, particularly regarding significant appliances like my air condition system. Despite reaching out repeatedly for clarification, no one has returned my calls for the past three weeks. Having been a loyal customer with Cinch Home Services since 2006 across two homes, I did expect prompt responses and feel let down by this lack of communication.
Moreover, I suggested more streamlined and effective follow-ups for customer queries and requests. I work in federal government and understand the importance of timely feedback. Unfortunately, despite emphasizing this, calls go unanswered, leave me feeling unvalued as a long-standing client.
I wouldn’t rate my experience highly at this point, and improvements in communication and response time are essential. Changes to how they address client concerns could greatly enhance my satisfaction with their service.

I decided to go with Cinch Home Services when purchasing my house. My realtor gave us a list of options, and Cinch was the one she recommended. After contacting them and weighing our choices, we opted for Cinch because the seller was covering the warranty.
I've been with them for about two months, since April. During this time, I've had to use their service when things needed repair. While Cinch doesn’t directly handle the repairs, they coordinate with a network of providers to get the job done. The quality of Cinch's customer service is fine in my opinion, though not all of the network providers have been top-notch.
In terms of pricing, I'd give them a solid 4. As for their online services, which I use to set up repairs, I'd rate them even higher for ease of use and navigation. My overall expectation for their service delivery has certainly been met.
Ryan, Thank you for the great review! We're glad to hear that your experience with Cinch has met your expectations so far. It’s great that our online tools have made managing repairs easy, and we appreciate your honest feedback about the provider network—we’re always working to ensure consistency across the board. We’re grateful you chose Cinch and look forward to continuing to support your home. Sincerely, Angela

Cinch Home Services was part of the package from the previous owner, so I carried it over without making a distinct choice myself.
When it comes to filing a claim, the process is straightforward but does have its hiccups. Making a call involves navigating through some phone prompts, and there’s a notable expense of $200 required before even registering a service request, which I find frustrating especially since one already pays $79 a month for their service.
A challenging experience I had was during a heatwave when my air conditioning failed. The contractor initially assigned by Cinch was unresponsive, leading to several days of no contact and ultimately necessitating a temporary fix as I had to install a window air conditioner due to unbearable heat. Eventually, a reliable contractor named Top Tech arrived on the fourth day and resolved the issue expediently, even having the required part (a capacitor) on hand. Despite the hiccups with the initial contractor, I appreciated Cinch’s persistence in following up and ensuring the problem was addressed. The technicians were competent, particularly the one who fixed our air conditioning unit efficiently.
Although I think the requirement of a $200 upfront fee could be improved, service calls have been effectively managed within Cinch’s scope, resolving my issues to satisfaction. I have made multiple service requests for air conditioning and my appliance, all handled proficiently.
In summary, Cinch maintains diligent follow-up, rectifying issues, though the initial fee is a point of contention for me. I would suggest giving them a chance, with the caveat of being aware of the additional costs upfront. Overall, my experience balances between positive service outcomes and that hefty initial call fee.
Linda, Thank you for sharing such a thorough and thoughtful review! We're glad to hear that despite the initial challenges—especially during such a tough time with the AC outage—our team was able to follow through and ensure the issue was resolved professionally. We appreciate your recognition of our technician's expertise and our follow-up efforts. Your feedback regarding the service fee and phone system is invaluable and will be shared with the appropriate teams as we continue working to improve the customer experience. We're grateful you've stayed with Cinch and thank you for recommending us with such honesty and balance! Sincerely, Angela

My previous plan with Total Protect was automatically switched to Cinch and I've been with them for over 12 years. My experience with submitting claims has been positive. It's straightforward to call in, and I often receive a number for follow-up, although I haven't needed this recently since there have been no issues from their end. For example, when I had an issue with my air conditioning, the technician came promptly. The only hiccup was that he forgot a filter and hasn't returned with it yet, which I need to remember to follow up on.
I appreciate Cinch's professionalism—they notify me when a technician is on their way, allowing me to adjust plans as needed. I've consistently found their service reliable and punctual.
To any friend or family, I'd confidently recommend Cinch as a solid home warranty provider. Although their rates seem a bit higher compared to what Total Protect offered, the quality of service overall makes me a satisfied customer.
Johnnie, Thank you for being a valued customer for over 12 years! We're thrilled to hear that you've had consistently positive experiences with our service and appreciate your kind words about our professionalism and reliability. We’ll note the feedback about the forgotten filter and are glad to know you're planning to follow up. Your recommendation means a lot to us—thank you for your continued trust! Sincerely, Angela

I moved into my current home and some items were aging and might need repairs soon, and I decided on a home warranty. Originally under a different name, the service eventually transitioned to Cinch, and I've been maintaining it ever since, for about 5.5 years.
While I've attempted to set up service requests online, I've encountered difficulties. For instance, my air conditioner stopped working, and I faced hurdles online due to a glitchy site that incorrectly stated the unit had been serviced. This ultimately led me to call them, as I couldn't complete the process online.
In terms of service, Cinch swiftly addressed my air conditioning issue. After calling, a technician reached out the next day, visited promptly, diagnosed the issue, and ordered the necessary part. Though we were without our air conditioner for some days, things were resolved relatively smoothly, and the repairs were completed efficiently.
Regarding the quality of service, I rate it highly. The technicians were responsive and effective in resolving issues. My only qualm lies with their website, which I find cumbersome. It uses technical terminologies I wasn't familiar with and required serial numbers that were hard to locate.
Additionally, I rate their affordability positively. The main concern remains their online request system, which is unnecessarily complex and, in my experience, was erroneous in understanding previously serviced parts.
Suzanne, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and for being a loyal customer for over five years. We’re glad to hear our technicians provided responsive and effective service to resolve your AC issue quickly. We also appreciate your honesty about the challenges with our online system — your input helps us identify areas to improve and make the process more user-friendly. Thanks again for your continued trust and valuable suggestions! Sincerely, Angela

Cinch Home Services was a recommendation from my AC mechanic, so word of mouth played a significant role in my decision. I've been with Cinch for around eight years, having switched after my previous provider folded. Throughout this period, I've consistently ensured that my home products were covered.
Submitting claims with Cinch has been an easy and straightforward process for me. The quality of contractors they've provided has been excellent, and overall, I've been quite satisfied. While discussing my experiences, I would rate them highly in various aspects, offering top ratings for customer service, coverage, and pricing. I find their online tools to be excellent as well.

I moved into a new home and Cinch would be a good way to protect myself and my appliances. I’ve been with them since 2017, and the experience has been quite positive. The claim process, whether done online or through a call, has been smooth. The contractors I’ve interacted with have been excellent.
Recently, I had an issue with my dishwasher. After contacting Cinch, a technician called back swiftly and arrived within two days. He diagnosed the issue, ordered the necessary parts, and set up another appointment to install the parts, which were delivered directly to my house. The service was timely and efficiently carried out.
While everything has been great, my only concern is the cost. I pay around $700–800 annually for this protection, plus an additional fee of $200 for a technician’s visit. Despite the cost, I find value in the service; it primarily depends on the age of your appliances. It's been financially beneficial for me because my appliances weren’t new when I moved in.
Cinch provided me peace of mind, knowing I’m covered. Their customer service, coverage, and online tools have been exceptional, each meriting a 5. However, I rate the cost a 4. Overall, Cinch has provided a comforting assurance that I appreciate.
Jackie, Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're glad to hear that our service has provided you with peace of mind and that your recent dishwasher repair went smoothly. We understand the cost is an important factor, and we appreciate your feedback on that.
