    I've had two claims and had no problems with TotalProtect. I felt they were excellent. So far so good. The claims representatives were very fast and polite. You couldn't ask for a better service. Same with the companies that provided services. They came in and did what they were supposed to do and left. I would recommend them to a friend. It's a very easy company to deal with and there's no hassle.

    I just refinanced the house, so I was looking for a home warranty and got Total Protect. When submitting claims, I call, and within a couple of hours, everything has been taken care of. Whenever I call, they keep me on the line until everything was settled as far as a technician coming out. Before I hang up the phone, I know everything that is going on. The technicians were polite and, as far as knowing the job, very professional. I like the service and the tech service is good work. It was an experience I didn't want to have but it had a good purpose.

    I found out about TotalProtect Home Warranty through Wachovia. It was about seven years ago and I moved into a townhouse that was a little bit older and I figured what’s going to happen is the burner is going to go or the air conditioner is going to go. And of course, when I was in there for two years, the air conditioner did go and the hot water heater went and it worked out very well that I have them. We had only one issue in probably the seven to eight issues. It was a cold night and we weren't going to get service for 24 hours. My wife was sick. I escalated to the next level and they were here within like six hours. That was a couple of years back, but we had an issue this past winter.

    Recently, it’s been great. They've gotten better through the last couple of years. I had an issue with the hot water heater the other day, I called and asked for this one service company that’s for TotalProtect and the technician that came was terrific. In fact, I’m going to get him back personally because we have a humidifier and a burner that’s not covered. The house is going to be 10 years old here. I know the air conditioner is going soon and it’s good to know that I’m not going to have to shell out $4,000, $5,000 at once.

    2 technicians came to the house agreed the unit was old, cant keep up with the the heat and must be replaced now. June 13 2014 to this day I'm still waiting for a call from them. I was denied to speak to a supervisor giving me the excuse that the reason for being denied was because it was a pre-existence problem when I bought the house on July 3 2013. It was fine, it's not been one year. Isn't that the reason that anyone buy a home warranty??? I'm looking for help if anyone have similar problems let me know please.

    Having a home warranty sounded like a good investment so we went ahead with TotalProtect. I was satisfied with their claims process. It was very easy. Interacting with their sales rep was very pleasant. I think her name was Sheryl. I spoke with her on numerous occasions and she made sure that each time my concerns were met and my questions were answered. She made sure that everything was done to my satisfaction.

    The first technician they sent didn't do such a good job. We had some problems, but Sheryl made sure that we got someone else out there. The quality of work is good. I’m very satisfied. Everybody in TotalProtect was very pleasant, very professional, and they really act like they care and are concerned about the people that they service and want to make sure that you’re satisfied and your problems are taken care of.

    My son had TotalProtect and he was happy so I decided to have it myself. The house gets older and I get older and it just seems to be the thing to do. We had an issue when we had a problem with the heat and they were saying that they wouldn't send anybody out till a day or two later, because it wasn't cold enough. But the claims process was very easy. They generally ask straightforward questions and we answer the questions, and that's it. I found them unusually honest and open and they did a good job. I was satisfied with the service.

    I first heard about Total Protect Home Warranty from Bank of America. It sounded good. It covered the equipment that I have. It was easy submitting a claim. The claims representative was very cordial and was able to answer to all my questions. I’ve called and made an appointment a couple of times because of the heating and cooling system. The fan on the cooling system kept blowing but we didn’t experience any cooling. The technician found a defect and he replaced it. They fixed it and it was done in less than an hour or so. Overall, my experience with Total was pleasant. They were all professional and competent.

    I got TotalProtect home warranty when we first bought the house years ago. You can make a payment every month and then get the protection for the big ticket items. Submitting a claim was smooth, it was very quick; they got back with me very quickly and made my appointment. We had our air conditioning fixed and the technician was good, but they put the wires on the outside of the unit, which I didn't understand. I will have to call them, as a matter of fact. But the technician was very good, they were on time and everything, but they just had the wires exposed. I would recommend them to other people because I think they're a very good company and they're very efficient and professional.

    You never know when you'll have something, an old appliance breaking down, or a new appliance and sometimes their working fires up after 90 days so I bought the TotalProtect Home Warranty. My experience submitting a claim was good; the claims representatives were real good. After a while that I used it, I liked the services I was getting from different companies that provide their services and the technicians that came were good... but not all of them. I had my dryer fixed for about six times before the other technician noticed that what the other technician was doing was totally wrong. However I was pleased that the other guy caught it.

    So far everything's been real good. There have been ups and downs, not with Total Protect but with the technicians (only one or two, but the rest are real nice) so to me everything that Total Protect is doing is good. The price is pretty good also.

    TotalProtect Home Warranty was offered through Countrywide so we decided to have it. Submitting a claim was good and wasn't difficult at all. The claims representatives are good. But it seems to take them a long time while they’re here to get approval, not to do the job, when you have to find out what’s wrong. And when they call in, sometimes they stand around for an hour before they get confirmation. It’s the longest part of the whole thing. But so far, the technician that we've used twice lately, both for the plumbing, was good. He's been real knowledgeable, come in and get the work done. He came back the last time because they ordered some parts. The quality of their work: so far, so good. The guys are professional.

    I've had Total Protect for a while. Everything has been well. I haven’t had any complaint. That’s why I’m still with them. The process in submitting a claim is easy.

I ask a lot of questions, they explain the process and what needs to be done. The quality of their work is good. If there’s a problem I would call back. I've checked out other companies and they didn't cover as much as TotalProtect did and they haven’t raised their price on me -- that’s another good factor. Since I've been with them, I haven’t had any increase other than the service fee.

    Total Protect's offer is probably the best that we've seen so far. And submitting a claim was pretty easy. We called, submitted a claim, they came out and fixed the problem. It took less than five days. All our interaction with the claims representative was fine. They were really nice and productive, answered all the questions I needed answering and it was pretty simple. The technician that came to service our appliance was awesome. He told me what needed to be done. He was the one that came the first time. When they sent someone to repair it, they sent him back. Everything was great. I can't complain. I work at a hotel, in customer service, and that service was excellent. I've got to give them credit. Total Protect is awesome. We love it.

    We've had Total Protect Home Warranty since 2009 and got the offer through our mortgage company, Suntrust. They put it on with our house payment. We had bought warranties on all of our different appliances and their cost was more feasible to do the home warranty. We've never had a problem when submitting a claim with them and have used them several times. We live in a real small town and were about forty miles out of Austin, Texas. The only trouble we had when we first went on with them was they didn't have the service people working this area real well. But now we've noticed in the last two years there's more local people signed up with it so we're not running into that problem anymore.

    The claim process was very easy. I've got the information file online but we just usually call the next morning after we realize we have a problem. Our interaction with the reps have always been real good, so with the technicians. We've used some enough now that when we call Total Protect we can usually ask them and they will get that same person for us. We have a daughter that lives in Atlanta, Georgia and she has cancelled her old service, and gone with Total Protect. We've also recommended Total Protect to one of our neighbors out here.
