Methodology

To select our top picks, we started with the home warranty companies available in Tennessee on our site and eliminated those with a star rating below 3.5. To stay on the list, companies also had to have at least a 2:1 ratio of 5-star to 1-star reviews from consumers in Tennessee, based on verified review data collected between Oct. 12, 2020, and Oct. 12, 2021. Final selections were made based on the strength of each company’s review data.

Choice Home Warranty has two coverage levels available, so you can choose either a lower price or more comprehensive coverage. The company has a large nationwide network of over 25,000 contractors, and support agents are available 24/7. Claims can be submitted both over the phone and online.

Choice Home Warranty earned our top overall pick for a home warranty company in Tennessee based on its popularity and consistent performance. CHW has both the most overall reviews and the most 5-star reviews in the state, and reviewers often provide significant praise for the company.

Judith from Dandridge wrote, “I am very happy with the service I received with my garage door, the reply was fast and the service top of the line. … Choice Home did a fantastic job in getting my problem fixed.”

“I was at work but, the technician called me and kept me abreast of the issue,” wrote Brenda from Memphis. “I was made aware of the problem, the repair needed and he even sent me a picture of the completed repair. He was really professional and thorough and I also loved the fact that he didn't leave a mess behind like most repair technicians.”

American Home Shield offers three levels of home warranty coverage, covering up to 23 appliances and systems. Add-on coverage is available, too. AHS even covers older items and items with a spotty maintenance history that are excluded by some other home warranties.

While American Home Shield didn’t have enough total reviews to claim our top overall pick, its ratio of 5-star to 1-star reviews was the highest of our top picks. (The only home warranty companies with higher ratios in Tennessee had single-digit review totals, making anomalies likely.) Tennesseans also had plenty of compliments for the technicians AHS sent out.

Vernon from Crossville reported, “Everything went smoothly. There were no issues whatsoever. They took care of everything that needed to be done. Jacob, the tech who came, was very polite and knew exactly what the issue was. He got the part ordered for me and got it installed.”

“Mills Electric Service was very helpful when they came out for an electrical claim,” wrote Rick from Knoxville. “They were very friendly and prompt. A couple of our outlets weren’t working correctly and they did a really good job. AHS is a really good service to have.”

Select Home Warranty offers warranty coverage to customers across the country and three levels of coverage to choose from. Add-ons are available to customize the coverage to your home. Claims can be reported 24/7, and there is no limit to your number of covered repairs.

Select Home Warranty has very good reviews in Tennessee, and reviewers frequently mention receiving discounts on their plans. The prices in this guide don’t include these temporary promotions, but it’s worth seeing what savings are available once you’re shopping for a home warranty.

“We are so impressed that we purchased the 3-year plan that came with a discount that we appreciated and definitely needed,” wrote Leo and Lavone from Cordova.

Christopher from Parsons preferred Select to his old warranty provider: “I saved a great deal of money over the home warranty company I was previously with. Even the service call fee is less than what I had. I only wish I had chosen Select Home Warranty years ago. Thank you for helping an old veteran. I really appreciate it.”

American Residential Warranty offers multiple coverage options. Specialty plans are available for things like electronics, and you can combine plans with the company’s bundle options. Its prices are also published on its website and consistent across all locations.

American Residential Warranty has strong reviews in Tennessee. Volunteer State residents liked the company’s customer service in particular.

Lori from Speedwell reported that her “call was short, but Arthur was pleasant to speak with, he saw the issue I had called about, told me he would call me back after he looked into the issue. He did just that, called me back in less than 5 minutes, resolved my issue. He was very helpful and a pleasure to speak with.”

“The customer service lady I worked with was knowledgeable and thorough,” wrote Beverly from Kingsport. “She even followed up and on call days later! They are consistent with their promises of services as well. The prices are competitive and the emergency line answered quickly too. I would greatly recommend their service and will continue to use them thru many years. Thank you for your assistance on my call.”

The key to deciding between home warranty companies in Tennessee is comparing their plans, prices and reviews in your area. There are plenty of home warranty companies operating in Tennessee, so it may take a bit of research to find the right company for your home and budget.

A good first step is researching the reputations of local home warranty companies. Narrow your list of companies down to those with thoroughly positive reviews and a strong track record of successful repairs.

Next, request free quotes to compare pricing and coverages. Quotes can generally be completed online or over the phone. It’s easier to compare plans line by line from your computer, but a phone consultation gives you the opportunity to get answers from a live person. Tennessee's Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) has a helpful list of questions to ask your home warranty company.

Tennessee has pretty limited laws regarding home warranties. The Tennessee General Assembly has said that service contracts are not to be construed as insurance and clarified some of the tax implications of service contracts, but there’s not much else that’s specifically relevant in the Tennessee Code for home warranty buyers.

Despite service contracts not technically being insurance in Tennessee, the Insurance division of TDCI still offers some resources regarding home warranties, like the list of questions above.

You can also file a grievance against a home warranty company on TDCI’s website if you believe a warranty claim was wrongfully denied or if there's another serious issue you weren’t able to resolve with the company.

So, is a home warranty right for you? It depends on your home's condition and your budget. Weigh the cost of a home warranty against what it covers, then compare the top home warranty companies in your area to find the right coverage for your home.
