    When I was signing up with Home Warranty of America for service, the reps I dealt with were courteous and I felt comfortable with them. They were good when I submitted claims, too. I was not absolutely crazy about the fellow who came here for one of my appliance claims. He was a little bit rude. Maybe he was just quiet but I did not like his personality. The plumber who came did an excellent job. He was very friendly and I liked him, and I've had him twice. I requested him back the second time.

    HWA's service has been fine. The only thing I'm not too happy is that the prices keep going up. And then they raised the amount that I had to pay the vendor. It's costing me $900 a year. And it's getting a little bit too expensive for me. So if it goes up next year, I may not have a warranty. It's one of the things I can get rid of if I had to. I like having it but I can live without it. But other than that, I would recommend HWA.

We are glad that the service provided was both courteous and provided a comforting sense so that they could assist with any concerns you may have had when filing a new claim with your Home Warranty.

    I have been with them for two years, and with the last experience that I had with Home Warranty of America, I would never recommend them. The people said there was a missing part and I just moved the refrigerator out, and the part was there. They took the part off. Horrible. They don't want to stand behind anything, and they find any excuse not to cover what is supposed to be covered in the refrigerator.

    I have three refrigerators. I went with them became they offered some things that the other home warranty does not. Signing up was pretty easy. However, I just wish that they did not have people lying. I put some dog food in the refrigerator and that was the reason they refused to fix the unit. I use my refrigerator to use in keeping food in. They said I'm a commercial business and I raise German Shepherds, which I do out of my home. After all, how many hundreds of people raise dogs out of their house? Thousands!

    I called the problem in on January 3rd and I got told that it was being handled. Then I did not hear from anybody. it was a holiday so I was trying to be patient. I wanted five days, and I called them back and they went, "Well, those people never responded to you, we're supposed to call? Nope." So, then, they found me somebody else. So, those people came out, said it was the condenser, that it was something wrong with the refrigerator. They said that as soon as they got approval for repairing the refrigerator, they would be back out to fix the refrigerator.

    Then, I got an email from Home Warranty of America saying that the part has been approved and that it should be fixed in a timely manner. I also thought that they were having a hard time getting this part as it is an older refrigerator. So, I waited almost a month and I finally called back on Home Warranty of America and I tell them what was going on. And they go, "Oh, let's check on this. Oh, these people don't repair some kind of sealed refrigerators. And we now have to find somebody else to come out and repair your refrigerator."

    So, then, they send the third company out. I've already paid the second people that were here, so American Home Warranty said that they would cover service call, which was what the contract stated. However, the check has never been cashed, and it is still outstanding. So this guy from the Philippines did not want to fix the unit. He was not going to make enough money, so he tried to figure out a way not to have to work on it. Anybody's trying it the same time to make me give him the $75 even though I wasn't supposed to pay him. He kept asking me for the money. And he knew he wasn't coming back out and fix the refrigerator.

    I told HWA about it but they did not care. Nobody fixed it, and they never got the part. They did not want it and the part is expensive -- $400 part. And I paid them over $100 a month. I eventually bought a new one instead. I hope they hold themselves just a little bit higher. I understand that insurance is a game of numbers. I just hope that this can help somebody else from being frustrated like I've been.

    The homeowner of the property that we purchased had used Home Warranty of America and it was more or less transferred. So, we took it over from there. And we knew that we would need it for our house to be covered just as it has been covered. When we signed the papers to buy the home, we knew it that time that we were going to continue the policy and the homeowner had it paid up to a certain time. And when that elapsed, we automatically picked it up.

    When I called about a claim, the person that I've spoken with has always been courteous. I don’t live in the home. Our family mama lives there. So, when I am told that there is some service that needs to be given, I call and make the connection myself. And then Home Warranty tells me who they are going to send to do the work and approximately what day and time. I'm satisfied with that. The contractors get right back to me and set it up within the day. And within a day usually meant tomorrow if I called today. The service is being done depending on whoever the person will be home to receive their service. It's just that the call is a little high and it has been constantly going up every year.

    Having a warranty is very good. But considering the money that I have paid for over the period of four years and the amount of service that I have had to ask for, you have to weigh it both ways because had I just put so much aside in a cup and did what I had to do, I would be ahead dollar-wise. It is a security measure but then anywhere from 7 to $800 a year for a coverage, only used it once a year and pay $75 upfront and so you think maybe I just gave 50, $600 and I didn't have that much problem. But it's all of the instruments. I pay house insurance and automobile insurance and I don't use it so that's what I'm saying about the homeowner's insurance. I do it but then don't really use it all the time. But I have been satisfied with the company. They deal fairly with me. When I call them, they're polite and prompt. But there are other companies that offer the same service and one should check around before taking a contract for a year.

    I’ve always had my stuff covered with home warranties but my previous provider did something unpleasant so I left them and joined Home Warranty of America. Signing up over the phone was quick and easy. They sent me an application form in my email. I read through it, signed it and sent it back. The warranty companies are all basically the same thing to me. I just asked if everything was covered and they said yes. But when I started to pay, I asked them if both my refrigerators were covered and they said no. That surprised me. I had to pay an extra amount for the second refrigerator and I didn’t like that too much. But it was a one-time fee and I paid it.

    My first claim was for the refrigerator's temperature gauge, which tells you the inside temperature on a readout outside the fridge. Something went wrong with that adjustment and it kept blinking and making this ringing sound. It would also automatically change on its own and ding. It was very annoying. They sent somebody over and he replaced something eventually. But that repair lasted for a couple of weeks and then it started dinging again. He didn’t fix it but the claim was closed since the problem didn't show up for that long. I tried to get the money and find out what it was but they don’t know what it is. It comes and goes.

    I also have a claim for my water heater open right now. I called them and paid the $75 but the contractor said he couldn’t get the same model because its manufacture was discontinued. He couldn’t get a replacement that size so he had to buy a bigger one and then he had to bore a bigger hole and hook it up. And since Home Warranty of America said that they don’t pay for adjustments, now I have to pay $500 to the contractor when he comes to install it. I wasn’t too happy with that at all.

    Home Warranty of America is saying that in order for me not to pay any more money, then every appliance that I have in here must fit as the original one. They didn’t tell me manufacturers can’t modify, adjust or upgrade their appliances because that is going to cost me money and that is unfair. So far, I haven’t had any success with Home Warranty of America but I am still willing to wait and see. I hope I don’t run into a big problem like with my air-conditioning. I talked to the manager to ask if they had any more surprises that I should expect, but he said that it was covered.

The contractors they've sent have all been very good and very personable. We had an air conditioner that went kaput during the middle of the summer in Arizona.

    I needed a home warranty and signing up with Home Warranty of America was good. I called and talked to a representative who gave me some feedback. The pricing at that time was nice and the coverage was fair for what I needed. Submitting a claim with HWA has been straightforward. I called my claims in, did a quick review, and talked with a polite person. They explained any questions that I had and help me get set up with a vendor.

    I called them out for heat adjustments and had them repaired my AC, which has been working well. The only issue I had was with the pipe. The main line broke under the house, and the guys who came out to fix it managed an evaluation. They let me know what was going on. And I've messed up since I didn't update it but they helped me get everything squared away. We found the right route to go through and we ended up redoing the whole line. Overall, I've had a good experience with HWA.

    I extended our warranty with Home Warranty of America after the first year was up. When we first moved into our house, there was something with the dishwasher, so I contacted them over the phone and they referred me to somebody local who could come out and take a look, which they did at a time that they said that they would. The experience was positive and the tech was excellent, but there was nothing wrong with the dishwasher eventually.

    BUYER BEWARE!!! If you are currently looking for a home and ask for a home warranty, make sure that the seller does not purchase a warranty from HWA. If you are looking to buy one for your current home, don't purchase from HWA. On Feb 3rd of this year, my dishwasher went out so I got on a filed a claim with HWA. On Monday they assigned a vendor to come and service it, the vendor came out on Feb 8 to look at my dishwasher, the issue was a blown fuse and a bad control board. The vendor that had came out here said he is unable to locate the part for the dishwasher as it was an older model so he was sending his findings back to HWA.

    The next day, February 9, HWA called me and said that they have located the part from their own supplier and stated that I have two options: Option 1) Let them order the part which should take no more than a week and have the vendor come out and replace it or Option 2) Take the buyout. When approached with this, I asked how much was the buyout, the customer service rep could not give me a number and I stated before I proceed I want to know what the buyout for it was. Finally on February 13th they called with the buyout amount. It was only $99!!! That they were going to give me for the dishwasher since that was what they calculated for ordering the part. Being that I already spent the $100 service fee, I told them to order the part and fix it.

    Well on February 16th, I called and asked when should I be expecting the part, I was told that the part was just shipped out FedEx and I should expect it by Wednesday February 21st. They said once I receive the part just call the vendor and they will come out to replace it. So February 21st came and passed with no part, I figured to wait an extra few days just in case it got delayed in route. I finally called on February 26th to ask the status of the part, the agent I spoke to could not give me an answer and was emailing another department within HWA claims. The next day, February 27th I get a call from the vendor stating that they want to setup an appointment to come and remove the part so they can send it off to get repaired!!! I said, "Wait, what happened to the part that was ordered???" The vendor knew nothing about it!

    I called back to HWA claims and the next representative said that there were updated notes put in yesterday and that they are now sending the part off to get repaired, I asked, "What the heck happened to the part that was suppose to be ordered?" They couldn't give me a straight answer, I then asked if someone can then tell me why I WAS LIED TO FOR TWO WEEKS AND LEFT TO BELIEVE THE PART WAS ORDERED! The representative said she would email the separate department in claims that makes the decision and someone would contact me within 24 48 hours. Still nothing. I called again on March 2, to talk find out why I haven't been called back and all the representative could tell me was that it the part is being rebuilt and the vendor will be out on Monday to remove the part and send it off for repairs!! This has been going on for over 4 weeks now and still no working dishwasher!

    This company moves slower than pond water when it comes to satisfy claims with their customers and has no sense of urgency. And I bet even after I write this review and they read it, they will reply with their sarcastic comment of "Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We are sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you have had through the claim process and would appreciate an opportunity to look into the issue and/or any other questions and concerns you may still have. If you would, please email us with your full name, phone number, property address, and contract or claim number to digitalcare@hwahomewarranty.com."

    The problem with this I have called and called and have been patient for over 4 weeks while they take their sweet time with coming to a quick outcome to repairing my dishwasher. No telling how long it will take to get the part repaired! Total bummer with this place, I DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE RENEWING MY WARRANTY THIS COMPANY!

    We have gotten Home Warranty of America when we bought the house 10 years ago and then we just renewed it. We needed home insurance so we kept it. I usually file claims online and they normally call me the next day. The vendors they use are fast to respond. We've had good and bad vendors as well as good and bad repairs, however, a particular one cost me a bunch of money because they messed up big time.

    Home Warranty of America sent out a guy from an AC company since we had a leak on the air conditioner. The guy came in and said that he checked the AC. According to him there was no leak. Then he left. Four days later I had to call a plumber because we couldn't find where the water was coming from. Moreover, the insurance didn't cover the issue so I had to pay for the plumber. They came in and found out that the leak was from the AC. I called Home Warranty of America again and they sent somebody who fixed the AC. It was really a pain in the butt and it cost me two extra ones because there was also a roof repair that I had to do.

    Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us and expressing the overall experience that you have gone through with your home warranty with us. We are glad that you have had positive experiences are are sorry to hear of the headache that was your AC claim. We understand that some claims can have a delay in the service and needed work being completed. If the vendor sent out ever provides us with a decision that our contract holders may determine as not being fully correct we are able to file for a second opinion to be used. This is where a new vendor is sent out to diangosis and provide a new overview to the issue that is ongoing in the home for the same claim. We again are sorry to hear of the delay that was caused by the initial diagnosis that was determined by that first vendor that also caused an additional plumber to be sent out. If there are ever any questions or concerns that we can help answer for you in the future please feel free to reach out to our team at Digitalcare@hwahomewarranty.com. Thank you!

    The realty company mentioned we could have the home warranty if we wanted and Home Warranty of America is what they had recommended. I want to save money just in case something bad happens. I don't know what these plumbers charge. You feel a little more secure if you have coverage. However, I'm not really getting my money's worth because I haven't used it that often then they raised it 25% last year. They raised it from $500 a year to $750 and it went from $60 per call to $75 you got to pay for anybody that comes out. So it's quite an increase, especially somebody on a fixed income. They're overcharging and it's way out of line to put it mildly.

    When I file a claim, I call somebody if I need something done. They're pretty prompt about getting somebody out here. That part is all right. But it's a lot of money to charge especially what I'm getting out of it. I only used it once last year. If I didn't have it I would have saved money over the long run. The only reason I got it is because you got peace of mind say if something does go wrong, it's not going to cost you a fortune. If they come out and fix, it's $75.

    My mother wants to complain about Home Warranty of America about the claim for the sink that was leaking. She's not even sure what is going on and why they haven’t contacted her. When the technician came to check it out and did their thing, they said that they needed to order a part. Apparently, Home Warranty is working with an independent company where they get the part from and they're giving her the runaround. She called Home Warranty to see what was going on and they said it was up to the independent company when they get the part. Then, she got the number of the independent company and called them to see what was going on then they said that they didn’t have the part and it’s now up to Home Warranty to figure out what she needs. She has been doing it for four months now and still can’t get an answer from anybody. It's completely failed.

    When we purchased the home, the realtor told me that she insisted that the people we were purchasing the house from would give us a home warranty. I was very skeptical about it but they agreed to it. She got us hooked into it and I've had nothing but good results with Home Warranty of America. Since we moved in, my husband has been very sick and he has not been able to make any of the repairs that needed taken care of. And because of that, I can feel comfortable knowing that if something goes wrong, I pay $75 and they fix it or they change it and buy it out. It has been a plus for me throughout the whole thing.

    But sometimes I feel like they’re not as experienced as some of the others. I’ve had someone say, “No. That’s not covered. I don’t know.” But in my book where I got it originally, it is. We have a pool and we paid extra when it was time to purchase the house. There have been a few things that have broken on my pool that’s not covered under the coverage. If something happened or if it needed more chemicals, I had to go buy them and do it myself. It cost us a little bit more to get our pool covered because they weren’t interested in that. I figured out why they weren’t and I paid the difference.

    They turned it over to this guy and he came. My pool was greenish looking and he asked if I have a pool man and I told him I do. He asked to take a sample of my water. It cost nothing and when he sampled it, he said my pool was a mess. He also said, "But if I was your person it would never look that way.” I signed up, they fixed what had to be fixed and we’ve never seen our pool green again. He comes weekly and I was thrilled with it. It’s Red Mountain Pool Company here in Arizona and the guy is phenomenal. He's very good and professional with what he's doing. And so did the other technicians that have come here. I’ve been impressed with the people they contracted with and my policy has been a godsend.

    I have recommended Home Warranty of America. I was visiting my sister home and she said she doesn't believe in home warranties. I told her about how we got ours and the things that have been covered and she asked for their name. My other sister did the same thing on their neighbor. They told their neighbor about it and they all wanted the name.

    This is long but you should all be warned! I have filed three claims with this company. First was for my pool pump - the company they contracted with never called to set up a time, they just continued to show up at my house and then call to see if they could get into my backyard, and then they messed up the replacement and there was a leak which took them two weeks to fix because of the scheduling issues mentioned above, that was great for my water bill. I then filed a claim for a toilet leak. The guy came out, replaced a $5 seal, charged me $100 (deductible) and never filed the claim. I called Home Warranty and was told that this was a $130 repair.

    Third claim was for my A/C - it went out in Florida in 85 degree weather with a heat index of 92. It was a Sunday and I was told someone would call me within 24 hours to schedule. I informed them that I have three 100+ lb dogs and an elderly person living in my house that cannot be in heat like this, the woman's response was "well how hot could it be in February?" She then said I could have someone else come and service this and submit the invoice when done. I paid $500 to an A/C company that I have a monthly plan with, so this is discounted, and he was there for 2 hours replacing a transformer and capacitor. The claim was denied because they said I needed a "tune-up." (The woman informing me of the denied claim hung up on me when I asked to speak to someone else who was able to answer my questions).

    I showed them that I had all of the required servicing done to the A/C unit upon moving in and they re-reviewed my claim and said they would reimburse me $19 of my $500 invoice. I was told that these are cheap parts and our repair tech said it would only take him five minutes to replace so that's the reason for their decision. I find it ridiculous that they said the A/C repair was a total of $119 (I have a $100 deductible), but to replace a rubber ring in a toilet tank was $130. They use shady "companies" that I've never heard of and that don't have legitimate business profiles online or even a phone number that isn't a technician's cell phone number. I get that insurance, as a whole, is a manipulative scam, and I didn't expect the full amount back, but $19 is outrageous.

    I was making sure that I can keep good appliance at all times and Home Warranty of America was the only home warranty I knew about based on what my relatives had told me. When I signed up with them the experience was okay but I don’t like that we paid this money then we're stuck with it because we've been in it for awhile but when we told them what was wrong, sometimes it was either we don’t hear from them or they don’t get out here and we have to keep calling. My husband sometimes deals with them and he gets frustrated.

    When we got the home warranty the first claim we did was when one of our air conditioners went out. We have two of them and the other didn’t go out. They thought that we had done something to it. Altogether they got the work done but not in a timely manner for me. When my washing machine went out one time, instead of them replacing my whole washing machine sometimes they had somebody to come out and put a belt on it.

    We had the washing machine for four years and we knew that the washing machine was messing up because we saw smoke coming from the back of it. It spins like they rigged it up in order to make it work so I had to accept that instead of them getting me a new washing machine. They fixed something but it doesn’t shut off by itself. It keeps spinning regardless and sometimes all the water is out when it spins. It spins even when the top is up and it’s not supposed to do that.

    When we told them the person that fixed that washing machine about it they said that was what HWA said for them to do and that was all that they were going to pay for. When you are dealing with a company and you’ve invested so much money in it, you're scared and don’t want to discontinue it. But we were planning on going with another company. We pay this bill but we very seldom use it and we get these end results. I am dissatisfied.

    I was a bit skeptical about some of the other companies so I renewed with Home Warranty of America for this year. HWA responded when I needed help with something. Some of my experiences with them had been positive and some were not. When I submitted a claim for service, it was straightforward and it was easy to do it on the website. I had a toilet leak problem upstairs. I then discovered that it leaked down into my pantry on the main floor. So, I called HWA about that and the rep informed me that it was regarded as secondary damage so it wasn’t covered. Her attitude was not the best. Also, I was the one who would call the contractor. I filed the claim, waited but I hadn’t heard from them so I called them. They were a little lax in doing that.

    I had an electrician and my experience was not good. I also had experiences with two different plumbing companies through HWA. I wasn’t impressed with the first plumber that came for a leaking toilet. He had to come back three times. Today, plumbers came to fix a leak under the sink. They knew their stuff and did a good job. I was impressed with them. Although, I found it a little off-putting when they tried to upsell me on work that they do through their own company and not through HWA.

    HWA will do everything they can to avoid replacing something. I had a maintenance contract with another company so I had somebody out to look at my air conditioning unit. They came out and said the unit was on its last leg. Then, Home Warranty of America came out and the contractor did something to keep it going. The unit has to blow up before they replace it. If an air conditioning unit is like that, it works much harder and puts my electricity bills up but HWA doesn’t care about that.

    I developed a sudden toilet leak near the seal. I had to do something quick so I got somebody out here and then I tried to get Home Warranty to cover it but I didn’t do it correctly so they would not cover. I've only called them one time so I'm all for one on any success so I'm not too pleased. So be very careful about getting a home warranty, ask a lot of questions, how it works and what's covered and what's not covered and what happens if you don’t follow procedures.

    It's frustrating when you learn from the technician sent out by Home Warranty of America that what you were looking to have done is not covered. The theatre room in the house we bought a little over a year ago has rope lighting built into the ceiling with a wall switch and that the lighting had burnt out after a few months after we got the house. All light fixtures are covered under the warranty, but the guy called it in and Home Warranty of America told him it's not covered.

    In addition, we have two hot water heaters in the attic that went out over the weekend and because it happened on a weekend, we got Home Depot to fix it. I didn't even think about the warranty that time it happened but because it's in my attic, I don't want my house to flood and they would not honor any claim because I didn't call it in first to them. I had photographs and everything, but they didn't care. Overall, it's a hit or miss with Home Warranty of America. They are not flexible with the rules and they have no leeway. I would tell friends to be careful.

The contractors have been very nice. I had the motor on my washing machine replaced when it went out. And all I paid was the $60 service fee. My washing machine is still running well and it was five years ago when it was repaired. I also had an issue with the dryer and it was taken care of.

    In the early years, we submitted the claims over the phone, but now it's online. Home Warranty of America's website was pretty easy to navigate. But in the last few years, we’ve had trouble with the service that came afterward as it didn’t cover what we thought was supposed to be covered. It's quite irritating that the problem still hasn’t been fixed, and I’ve been contemplating on changing my warranty company.

    We are not unreasonable people, and the claims that we filed weren’t big items to be repaired, so I really couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t cover the services, and they never could explain the reason to my liking either. So, be careful with what Home Warranty of America says is going to be covered because they always seem to find a way to get out of it now. I wouldn’t recommend them.

    I had a home warranty with another company and they canceled me because they had to pay something. So, I was looking for a warranty that would actually honor what they said that they were going to do. I asked around with other people what kind of warranty they had, and I was told that Home Warranty of America does a good job. I’ve had them for a number of years, and I usually submit a claim online. I’m kind of old and their website has to be easy for me to navigate it. Their reps are very responsive on getting back to me with an email telling me that my claim has been received and that they have turned it over to someone to take action on it and give me their number. Then I get notified within 24 hours and, if not, I let them know and they will light a fire under the contractor.

    Home Warranty of America works with me very well as far as being able to satisfy my needs. One of our ovens, which was built-in, went out, and Home Warranty gave me the option to take in a check and put some money with it and get the one that I wanted. All appliances would be the same make or I should find one that was a little less expensive. We live out in the country and in a subdivision that’s near the sea. We have an aerobic septic tank and it’s a part of our worry. The guys that Home Warranty sends out come out and pump it whenever it’s needed and we pay. There was a guy that came out to do it and we paid him the $75 service charge. He said he would go get something but he never came back, and we called Home Warranty and told them about that. They said they would get somebody else out and I did not have to pay the other $75 because they would apply what I’d paid the other person, which was really nice of them.

    My realtor purchased my home warranty with this company. We filed 2 claims in the 13 months we had coverage. The first went fine as far as the service was provided. The 2nd claim I live chatted with a rep asking the specific question if my refrigerator downstairs not in a basement (I have two kitchens) would be considered a 2nd refrigerator since I did not have that add on to my contract. I was told "No you can file a claim on any refrigerator if it's your first claim for one you simply won't be able to file a claim on another one during this contract." I asked a few times in different ways to verify before making the claim as I would then have to pay $100 trade service fee. I filed it and paid the fee when the rep came out. A few days later I called to check on the claim. It had been denied. Reason, "It is downstairs and not your primary refrigerator."

    I was baffled as that is the very reason I chatted with the rep to ask about location before filing and spending $100. I called in and live chatted with at least 10 people since. I have been waiting for a supervisor to call me back for a week now. I want coverage but in the least my $100 refunded. I was given incorrect information by an employee of HWA. If he told me it would not be covered I would not have filed the claim. They have the transcript as they are saved. $100 to this company is not very much money but to my family it's a lot of money (I am a teacher my husband an EMT and we have 2 kids).

    That is why I took the time to talk with a rep before filing the claim. It would be so simple to fix. I feel they should have just honored the claim once made aware of transcript from rep, but in the very least they ought to refund my $100 because of their mistake. I would take legal action if it wouldn't end up costing me more money than the $100. Don't use this company. I am warning all my friends especially friends that are realtors. It's not worth it!

    My real estate agent suggested Home Warranty of America and I signed up with them. The signup process was straightforward and the sales representative who helped me out was good. I had the warranty on two properties but I canceled the service. We had a big leak in one of my houses and it was like a nightmare to get somebody to come. They took forever to send a plumber to my property. One person came and made a hole and a plumbing issue and walked away. Another person came but he also left without doing anything. And ultimately I paid for the plumbing so, it was not worth my money and effort.

    There was more work than I signed up for. And it was a really shorty work and it was so bad that the plumber cut a hole and he left and wouldn’t come back to fix the plumbing. HWA said that they would send another plumber in two days but I could not wait for two days. The drywall was already soggy once the water started leaking. And now the tenant there was super mad. It's a situation that gets worse as time goes by, and I got really mad about it. If I had called the proper plumber the day this has happened and I just not gone through Home Warranty of America, it could have been a lot easier on everybody.

    Every time we contacted HWA, they said that there was no plumber available. I needed the leak fixed right away. I ended up paying close to $5,000 and now I’m going to file a lawsuit because of that which is going to cost me more. I wish they would refund all the money that I paid when I signed up with them. And they should be nice because I didn’t get anything back from it. I’ve been their customer for the last three years and I signed two properties and I realized it is not going to work for me.

    While I was signing up, they were all rosy and peachy and nice but when I needed some help from them after signing up, nothing was nice. And I didn’t experience it alone. My neighbor has it too and she just lost it with them and she went away. I would tell others to stay away from Home Warranty of America. For my property, I paid $700 a year which is not a lot of money but I was hoping if something came up, they would take care of it or at least if I called, they would send somebody.

    Home Warranty of America is one of the better insurance plans to have for your appliances. I was with a different company before and I was not at all happy with them because it took them too long to get someone out here to fix my problems. Then, I was talking to one of my friends and she said her company was part of Home Warranty, that she had gone with them, and she was happy. So I switched and so far, I've been happy with them, too. I call Home Warranty to put my claims in since I'm very bad about my computer. The representatives I spoke with were very nice and thorough. Also, the contractors they've sent out were all very good and I didn't have any problems with them. But for the last claim I put it, the contractor took too long to come out so I had the issue fixed on my own. It was five days before they were able to get out and that was unacceptable.

    I have been with Home Warranty of America for about three years now. I heard about them through a retailer. We then did a little bit of research around and have heard some problems with the other candidate we were going to go with, so we switched to them. I have filed several claims over the phone already. It did take an unusually long amount of time to get one of our items covered, almost a month and a half, but it was eventually all settled.

    We were tempting to get one of our heating units repaired and I had one of the worst technicians I've ever dealt with, both in private and professional environments. The individual was marked qualified to make the repair, but he did not come prepared and had to make no less than five visits to attempt to effect the repair, and still was not able to effect the repair of the item. We finally had to get them to find a different technician. We had to make the repairs ourselves where Home Warranty of America had to reimburse us, so it was not our best repair. They are adequate but I would recommend someone else.

    The lady from Home Warranty of America whom I first talked to and exchange emails was very pleasant. I'm a low-maintenance guy on the big terms. I just go with what the company's happy and I'm happy with. Like the last time when my water heater died, I bought a new one and I got the reimbursement for that exchange instead of repairing the old one. The other one was for my water pump. Initially, we had a not so skilled repairman and HWA assigned a different company and that gentleman finished the job very well.

    However, many times we have discussed things on the phone and we start again, and again, and the response time was long, which is not bad. But when you're looking for efficiency, once someone gets the information, it's good to go around and solve the problem until it's gone. Other than that, the company is great, I'm happy and I will keep it. I like the way they do business. I believe that when you're taking care of the insurance company well, then the insurance remains normal because you don't milk the cow, you just use it only when it's needed.

    Our realtor purchased the home warranty as part of our home-buying and I've been with Home Warranty of America for over two years now. I like it. I usually do claims over the phone and the representatives have been very nice and cooperative. My experiences, for the most part, have been very good. I've had one or two technicians who weren't the best quality but mostly, they have been really good. Those issues have been addressed by the company as well. Also, in speaking with the technicians that have come out to address the problems, they are much more willing to come out for Home Warranty of America than for other warranty companies. They just have a better reputation.

    When I purchased the house, it came with a home warranty. I was given a choice of three different companies. I liked the reputation of Home Warranty of America. And my experience when submitting a claim has been very good so far. Sometimes their technicians came within 24 hours. I had to call back a couple of times, but it was much easier than trying to find a repairman myself. The technicians who came were professional and courteous. I’ve recommended Home Warranty of America to my children and my friends.

    I go back and forth every year whether or not I want to continue to pay for Home Warranty of America. It seems more of a hassle when I have an issue and make a call. Then, they have to find someone local or non-local which can take a day and that's my biggest problem. If something broke, you hate to hear that it's going to be a day or two before someone can get out to you.

    Depending on the age of the home, Home Warranty of America seems to be a great opportunity to protect yourself from things that aren't covered by homeowner's insurance or anything else. It's a great deal. It was part of the closing when we purchased our home and we've renewed it three years running now. Sometimes, I submit claims online and sometimes, I do it over the phone. The website navigation is fairly straightforward. Though if I have to collect my thoughts and put together a narrative of something that happened, sometimes the site will timeout in the process of putting in a claim. On the other hand, the reps over the phone are professional and capable. They seem like they know what they're doing and they're helpful. The technicians have been very good as well.

    I needed a backup plan in case I have problems in the house. My realtor told me about Home Warranty of America and signing up with them was a good experience. Their reps answered my questions and were professional. When I called to submit a claim on my plumbing system, the representative I talked to was courteous and helpful. But I was not happy with the job that their contractor did for me.

    I bought this house a year and a half ago it was the first time that I had a backup problem. The water from the kitchen sink was coming back on the other side of the sink. When the tech came, he said that it was caused by a pipe that was clotted and that he took care of it. My sink got damaged, too, but it was not his fault. Apparently the water was on the sink for too long. I was away for a week and when I came back one of the sinks had water that was sustained. So I had to change the sink but Home Warranty's tech didn't do it. He told me that he cleaned the pipe but I don’t know which pipe he cleaned because when the other person came to change my sink, he had to unclog the pipe that goes directly to the sink. There were rugs and toys, grease, dirt, and a lot of stuff in there.

    So Home Warranty's tech didn't do a good job. If he cleaned something he didn’t clean specifically the one for the sink which was the one that was giving me problems. Also, when I submitted the claim they told me there was a $100 deductible and I paid it over the phone. But when the plumber came he asked me for the money again. I told him that I paid directly to the company and apparently he didn’t know.

    My husband and I liked the idea of having the insurance if something breaks in the house so we retained Home Warranty of America, which was included by our realtor when we closed our house. I pay HWA every month but I haven't utilized it very much. A couple of years ago, we kept having trouble with the toilet. HWA sent someone twice and they said I needed to totally replace things in my bathroom and that I have to hire a contractor. And the third time, the contractor didn't even show up so I just did everything on my own. I sent HWA all my receipts and a letter but HWA never even acknowledged it. That really pissed me off. I almost didn't renew. But I thought of all the other appliances that I have in my house. It just didn't make sense. It was never resolved and nobody ever even bothered to call on it nor send any money for the repairs that I had to do on my own. And it was from a mistake from the plumber that they sent out, to begin with.

    The technician snaked my tub and it ended up leaking on to my ceiling. He pulled up some caulking next to the tub and then snaked it underneath but poked a hole in the pipe. So I'm looking over my ceiling, I still have water stains on my ceiling. But I still needed to technically hire somebody to come out to fix my wall from where he just cut a hole. He cut a hole behind the kids' tub and that has never been replaced. He just left a mess. It was a nightmare. My husband had sprayed it three times. My husband and I ended up taking out like we did our mortgage, we shortened it and got some money out to put back into the house. So we just took care of it ourselves.

    Nonetheless, they did come through with my dishwasher. A guy from a professional appliance repair came out twice and he was very sweet and very professional. I had a great experience with that and that was my last experience. I have still referred HWA to other people just because my dishwasher experience was great. But for any big projects, I would not. With all the money that I've spent with them for the last five years, I certainly hope they'd take care of anything that breaks in my house in the future.

    I was shopping around when I was first starting to buy a house and the realtor recommended Home Warranty of America. It seemed like a good idea and signing up was fairly easy although there was a lot of reading to do. Submitting a claim was easy as well. But I had a problem with it when I first I got it. There was a 30 day waiting period which I didn't know about. I asked for a repair within two weeks of moving in and they were asking my home inspection. That was kind of unusual, but I guess they wanted to make sure that nothing was broken and that I'm trying to pass off on them for a repair. We also had a claim that took a while because they had to order a part and it took them a couple of days. They don’t really carry all the parts, so it was okay and I understand. But we ended up just buying a whole new washing machine after that. And it was out of pocket and we're not getting reimbursed. But I'm okay with it, overall.

    Home Warranty of America was recommended by a realtor. Some of the other claims I submitted, they’ve been pretty good about. They sent out some decent people that went above and beyond the call on a refrigerator that the compressor was going out. The service was very good. But submitting a claim had its ups and downs. I had to go back and forth a couple of times on the most recent one, but eventually, there was some resolution to it.

    On the most recent experience, the technician who came did not thoroughly investigate the problem and he was just there to collect the fee. He just opened up my heater radiator, opened up the panel, and said that was too dirty. He didn’t want to mess with it. It really wasn’t dirty and just needed a little vacuuming. He did not try to resolve the problem or figure out what the problem was. I had to go to another technician outside of their group to get the resolution and to find out what was wrong, and it was very simple. It caused me a $35 part to fix the problem. But Home Warranty of America refunded the service call.

    When we lived up in Chicago, we had a home warranty service from Home Warranty of America and we really liked it. The heating people that they sent out were top-notch and we didn't have any problem with any of the claims we submitted. When we moved here to Tulsa, we didn’t know any repair people at all and Home Warranty was also the one provided to us with the closing, so we signed up with them.

    When we had no heat, we called them up. That was in the middle of December and there was a really cold spell. They assigned our claim to somebody who we called up but didn't respond or give a callback. We had supervisors from Home Warranty trying to reach them but the heating people would not return the calls. When the contractor finally came out, they looked at the furnace and said they had to order a part. Then it went on for almost a month that we had no heat on the first floor of our house. We called Home Warranty to follow up but they wouldn't return our calls. So we were sitting here freezing off not knowing what was going on. We wanted to go to a hotel but they wouldn’t reimburse us. I have a vocal difficulty and I wanted to go and get some place warm. But they said no and that I could live up on our second floor. That was kind of impossible and not practical.

    The contractor also overcharged us by $500 for something that they had to put in the furnace and my husband went after them. He found out from another company what would be charged and what would be used in that capacity so he wrote letters to the contractor. But I don’t know if he got the money back or not. Also, when they went to repair the upstairs furnace, it leaked all over the family room and made a mess. But they ended up replacing the downstairs furnace because they screwed it up so bad. It was an absolute nightmare and they took six months to fix the furnace. Other than that, when we filed a claim for our dishwasher, Home Warranty replaced it with no problem. We also made a claim on the stove and the people they sent out for that were okay.

    When I bought the house, the real estate agent recommended Home Warranty of America. The home is about 39 years old and everything was refurbished. She explained the policy to me and it sounded good so I said I would go along and see how it'd work. Signing up with them went great and so far, they have served me well. I call them when I have claims because I don't like to use the internet. I tell them what my problem is and ask them for the name of a company. Then they'd give me the name and tell me that if I don't hear from them within a day or two, I should call and make sure that they're going to come out. For the most part, that has worked out and the repairs kept my appliances up-to-date so that I could use them.

    Everything has been perfect, except for one time when I submitted a claim for the standalone refrigerator and they didn’t send the right people out. The ones who came out didn't know what they were doing. So if you don’t ask HWA for the specific people from the right company, you don’t always get them. They get somebody that’s not really qualified to come out then they screw it up and you still got to call them back to come out and get the right people. I would demand it.

    The next-door neighbor asked me about Home Warranty of America and I told him to get them. He’s an engineer and he said that he wouldn’t do it because you don’t get back what you put into it. I don’t think he’s ever tried it because he has too many friends that can come out and do whatever he needs. But I told him that I did get what I paid for from HWA. I also recommended them to other people.

    During the first year of the home ownership we had used HWA 3 times and the whole process was very easy each time. They were pretty quick to respond when we have an issue. We file our claim online because that turned out to be much more efficient than phoning up. And because the wait time via the telephone were lengthy. But even with having to hold on the line for quite some time that very first time that we had an issue, it was still a satisfactory experience because they addressed our issue ASAP.

    We had an issue with our air-conditioning one time, so we had a particular vendor come out and then I had them do a test on our furnace for dangerous gas. The level was dangerously high so the tech recommended that we have to get our furnace replaced. When I put in the ticket and contacted HWA, I explained to them that we prefer to use that particular vendor since they were already on the list, but that didn’t happen. So, when I called back a third time they made sure that that didn’t happen.

    I also called HWA when our furnace was not working on January. It was before business hours so I contacted via phone the emergency line, and they said that I would receive a call by 7 o’clock because that’s when their office is opened. But I didn’t receive any phone calls so I dialed them up at about quarter to 10 o’clock and they opened up a fresh ticket for me and I was able to get somebody out right away.

    Shortly thereafter I received a phone call from the vendor who said that they wouldn’t be able to come out until the next day. And that morning was minus 11 degrees. I’m not sure how HWA rates their emergency vendor list. But they might need to revisit that because this heating and cooling company was on their emergency list but they wouldn’t be able to come out for another 24 hours. That’s not very helpful to somebody whose house is 48 degrees. However, it worked itself out since I took the initiative to contact HWA back and it got taken care of the same day. The second vendor was able to come out right away. Overall it’s worth the permanent payment that they charge for peace of mind.

    When I bought my condo, my realtor suggested Home Warranty of America. I never had a home warranty before but when I moved to my condo, it has the original furnace stove and the washer and dryer are older. So I decided the warranty would be worth the money. I am a widow and a lot of times, I get concerned about having someone come into my house. Also, I could have as many inspections as I want and still something could happen after I move into the place. Just for the furnace alone, Home Warranty is worth it because they said they would pay up to $5,000 on a furnace which was what it cost me per year.

    So far, I’ve had three claims with them. One for the plumbing, one for the water heater which was repairable, and one for my refrigerator which is quite old. When I called for the plumber, the first contractor who came out was not professional. Two guys came out and one of them sat on the couch and talked to me while the other guy was doing the work. So I was not pleased with them. I had to call Home Warranty about it and I told them I didn’t want to deal with that contractor. So they sent someone else. The tech who came for the water heater was wonderful and I also had them out for my garage door. It came off track and they also did that. As for the refrigerator, I still don't think that it works right after the contractor came out for it but I won't pay the $75 charge for them to come out and tell me they wouldn't do anything about it. It makes weird noises but it runs all the time so it’s workable and I just put up with it.

    I have Home Warranty of America for three years now and when I renewed, it was easy. They do it over the phone and withdraw the payment right out of my checking account if they went up a little bit this year. I normally call them on the phone to submit my claims because I'm a computer crybaby. Every time I try to do something on the computer, I get so far and I lose it then I whine. So I prefer calling them and when I do, they’re pretty efficient about getting back to me though none of my things have been urgent.

    Home Warranty of America was recommended to us and we decided to go with that. I submit claims to Home Warranty of America mostly on the phone and their people are always very nice and very helpful. However, sometimes I ended up waiting on the phone for longer than I think I should. Sometimes I've been disappointed with some of the vendors that they've sent out. But most of the time, I've been happy with them. Also, there were times where I was disappointed that things weren't covered, but they explained to me why and I accepted it, whether I agreed or not.

    Home Warranty of America is pretty easy to deal with when submitting claims. The only problem is the people that come out like we had this one guy come out who couldn’t even speak English. It was for a sink clog and he snaked it but it didn’t work. I ended up going through a company outside of the warranty that I've used for a lot of my home maintenance. We ended up having to go out and do a high-pressure steam hose through the pipe and cleaned it out. It ended up taking about $300 to get that done. But we've also used HWA for another issue and it was alright. So, it just depends on who they send out. But I have another company. It costs a little bit more but when they come out, I don't have to wait around so I don't know if I'm going to renew with HWA.

    We’re realtors so we hear all about all the warranty companies thru word of mouth. Home Warranty of America is our primary home warranty company for our guys’ properties. We call them, give them the contract number and they set up a claim number and a service call. They email me the information of the service provider that’s going to be handling the service call. I pay them, if that’s what they want, or I pay the service provider, whoever they indicate. It’s pretty straightforward.

    However, I’ve had some experiences with their contractors that I was not happy with, but they usually send somebody else. I did hear one plumber telling me some story about something that I said I didn’t buy. He was trying to tell me that Edsel’s home, the piping had resin in it and needed all to be replaced in the home. And I go, “No, I’m not buying that.” I said, “That’s not going to fly with me.” Namely because it’s all distilled in the water softener and it was glitter that was on the counter and the water basin. And I said, “How did the glitter on top of the counter get there?” He just didn’t know what he was doing. Home Warranty of America doesn’t know who they send. They talk to the company and the company hires a third party. They may not know exactly if he’s qualified or this is his first rodeo. I understand those things happen. So, I just request somebody else from a different company.

    Also, I wish they had more people working there so that they could answer the phone quicker. I understand the heavy traffic and all that. Sometimes, they can’t get to the phone call quick enough, so you have to wait. But you can do it online too. Though I prefer to talk to somebody because I like to explain what’s wrong, what the issue is and explain it better. Sometimes, you have to spend a whole lot of writing to explain what’s wrong with the particular item that you’re claiming about. Nevertheless, I would tell my friends that Home Warranty of America has good vendors for the most the part, and that they provide good service and prices.

    Submitting a claim for service with Home Warranty of America was so easy. Our water heater went out at night after the the electric company had turned the gas off. We found our information from Buy Our House and we went in. I looked online and HWA could do it online. So I filled out everything and submitted it. The site told me what to do step by step. Then they called me the next day to set up the time for the guy to come out.

    I dealt with two different guys and the first one came. They were really good about setting it up when I could work to go there. So I left work and met him at the house. He looked at it and told me that it was cracked and that it was definitely going to have to be replaced. I asked him if I needed to pay him $100. He told me no and that I could wait until the next day. He said they were going to have to come out and replace the whole thing. He also said that he'd take care of it. He'd call them, let them know, and deal with it all. He was really nice and friendly. He took care of everything. Then they called and asked me if we would be willing to pay extra $20 because our house is older and so was the water heater. There were two parts they needed and it was $10 each. So I said sure and I just had to wait to hear back from them.

    But there was a little miscommunication there which was our only problem. I had been on my period and hadn’t had a shower in two days. And then we didn’t have hot water so I was not a happy camper. I was waiting and waiting to hear from them and I heard nothing. And then the next day, I was waiting and waiting to hear from them again. Finally I called and the rep said they were just waiting for authorization on the two parts. I told her that I already told them it was okay. So she felt bad because she couldn't get anybody out that day. I had to wait until the next day. Other than that, everything was good because they came out when they said they were going to.

    My water heater was so old. I felt bad for the guy because stuff broke off in his hand and it flooded my bathroom. But they cleaned everything up. They called the guy to bring in the vacuum. I gave them towels, and they took care of everything and got all of it hooked up and ready for me. We renewed in December because I told my husband it costs us $600 a year but we only paid $120 for a $1,000 water heater. I’m happy because I called and had some other questions about some stuff that I saw like other services they offer. I talked to a guy there and he answered all my questions and gave me all kinds of information about all the stuff that I had questions about. The people whom I’ve had to talk to on the phone have been super friendly and easy to deal with. I’ve been telling everybody about HWA. All of my friends have been buying a house and I tell them to go with HWA.

So, they gave me a phone call and gave me a list of preferred people that they go through whenever they can fix things like that. So, I can still get the problem fixed, just not through the warranty.

    Home Warranty of America was offered with the house when we moved here, and I just kept it. The reps are very receptive and I enjoy their help. Sometimes they just can't find a provider to come and work on the problem with the heater. We've lived here since September ‘13 and each year the heater quits working for some crazy reason. It was under their warranty, but they told us that it was a month past the 10 year warranty on the heater itself. They won't replace it because they keep telling me it can be fixed.

    The first time it went, it needed a new pump and the tech said he would be back with a new one. He called and said he was on his way. My son was home and he was out there with him when he came and he pulled a big motor. My son asked if it was new, and the tech said that it was. Then my son asked, “If it's new, why is it rusty and muddy?” The tech put that rusty, muddy motor in and we had to have him come back out the following year. He also called my son rude and he refused to come back.

    Last year, the tech had to get a different kind of stuff to put the Freon in and it's expensive, and there was something about the motor or the blade. He came back a couple of days later with a new blade and I was out there with him, talking and complaining to him about Home Warranty of America. He put the blade on and got it running again, but he said that the blade wasn’t exactly the right one but it would work. This year, it was running but it was hardly giving off any heat. When the tech came, he looked at it and he wanted to find the circuit breaker box. He and my son went out into the garage where the box is on the wall and the breaker had kicked off and we don’t know why. He wasn't here very long and we had to give him $100 for the call.

    I'm not very happy with Home Warranty of America and I can't afford a new heater unit. We're talking $4,000 to $5,000 and we don’t have that kind of money. Except for the man that said my son was rude, the providers that had come out had been very understanding and they apologized that they couldn't replace the heater because it's up to the home warranty. I asked HWA one time about replacing it and the rep said I had depleted my allowance because of having them send people out. It's not our fault that the stupid heater keeps breaking. I have contacted another company, but I can't afford their home warranty coverage. I would never recommend Home Warranty of America.

    We used Home Warranty of America in Texas before we moved to Florida. They did a good job so we kept them. In Texas, everything that we had, a microwave failed and had to be replaced, motherboard on an oven had to be replaced, or at least fixed anyway, and the electrical box out in the garage had to be completely redone, all that was covered, which was great. We called our claims in and it did not take a long time at all before somebody answered.

    However, since we’ve been here in Florida, we’ve only had one problem and they couldn’t find anybody to fix the garage door opener. We were a little disappointed, but I couldn’t find anybody either. People didn’t want to mess with it for some strange reason, even when I was paying for it myself. So, that’s a problem that Home Warranty of America might have ran into before. We ended having to buy a new one and have it installed. But we just had the motor on our washer replaced, which they just did and the guy finished it a couple of days ago. He did a good job. Moreover, their reps are fine whenever we reach out to them. All of my experiences with their contractors were all positive and I never had any negative problems. Overall, we've been very satisfied with Home Warranty, except for that one exception. But I don’t think that was their fault. We've already have recommended them to friends.

    Everybody that owns a home should have Home Warranty of America because it is heaven sent. When we bought this house, our realtor suggested that we get them. So we called their number and signing up was so simple it was ridiculous. The reps we talked to were also cordial. Our realtor did a good job for us because we were in this house two weeks and the air conditioner quit. All it took was one call and they took care of our problem. HWA's reps were accommodating. We asked questions and they answered, and if they didn't know the answer they found somebody who did. They sent a guy from somewhere east of Dallas who was capable of doing what he was supposed to do. Then we paid the $75 for the service call and it was finished.

    Home Warranty of America was excellent and the warranty paid for itself. It was convenient to have and we didn't have to go beat the bushes to find somebody. I told everybody about it.

    I did some research online and Home Warranty of America's reviews were better than some other companies. And everything they’ve done for me so far has been good. I submit claims online and the process is very easy. But the contractors are hit and miss. The home warranty companies as an example, Home Warranty of America, you just have to think of America as a big place and they can’t go out and vet every contractor they get. They’re just trying to satisfy the homeowner and also satisfy him at a price that’s reasonable to them. Some of the contractors they’ve sent to me have been less than desirable. But then again whenever I’ve called HWA to tell them that this sub-contractor or contractor that they sent out I didn’t want them here, they quickly responded and took care of the problem.

    In a couple of instances, mainly with air conditioning and the kind of things that more often go wrong than others, stoves and refrigerators and so forth as opposed to leaky roofs, they sent over a contractor and I guess the first time or second time and this guy ended up being one of the best I’ve ever seen. So when I have an issue in that area I request that contractor. They sent him over and the job is done the first time. There are no comebacks, no problems, and then we’re happy and that makes them look better also. My wife a couple of times asked me why do we still have them and I said because they’re so easy to deal with and we get our money’s worth in terms of service. There is a reason you buy insurance. I’ve had the peace of mind and I’ve convinced my wife to keep it and we’re going to stay with it.

But if there’s not a vendor, then they search for one or I search one and we all agree on one. And they send them out which sometimes take a little bit longer than desired. And so far, it’s been a really good experience. They’ve covered everything without any issues. They’ve never denied a claim. The only thing is I live a little bit outside of Raleigh so its more small town atmosphere. It’s a little bit harder to find a provider.

    I have bought policies from Home Warranty of America before. I use them in Illinois and I also used them for underwriting a policy in Arizona, which I just recently canceled. I use their premium plus in Illinois. However, they're not all that well-run. They are great at collecting money and doing online stuff. But they're not all that good at quickly generating service repairs or getting people online, on spot, on time, at the door. And they keep raising their rates every year. The rates used to go up a few bucks, but now they've jumped up to $15 a year in two halves, two years in a row for the service call. And then they raised their annual rate a whole bunch too. When I started with them, it was $4.25, now I'm paying over $5.50 for the same thing.

    Their prices get raised too high. They're too expensive for the level of service they perform and sometimes they pick questionable vendors. And they're an inflexible company and totally inflexible on their services too. For example, if the ice maker doesn't work, I call the company and pay $75 for the guy to come to our door. After I've paid HWA $525 a year with nothing but an ice maker broken, I give the contractor another $75. If I ask the contractor to change a lightbulb or to fix a drippy faucet, they can't do that because it has to be another order. Even while he's in the room, he can't do it because they're so inflexible. They said HWA only pays a fraction of what the vendors would charge normally. So, therein lies the reason why the vendors don't cooperate that much. HWA's supposedly doing them a favor, so for that, they get to charge less.

    HWA doesn't manage their vendors very well at all. It's not a well-run vendor-owner combination. They're really clueless and they've expanded so much and gotten so big at doing other things, like collections for service fees. I'm in Arizona and that company's in Southern Illinois, There are other home warranty companies out there now that have grown and they are better than HWA. I think HWA got too big, too fast, and unable to cope and continue with a decent quality service. Other people have stepped in with a better service at a better price. So, once this year is up, I'll be done with them.

Sometimes, they just drop us. They don't even get back to me or they just say, "Well, I want you to find someone of your own," which I did for the refrigerator and then I did everything properly. And basically, they said, "Oh, we're not going to pay the whole replacement fee because it's not one of our people." And I said, "But you couldn't find anybody."

    HWA found someone who used to work for them, but no longer does and does not want to work for them, but he got so many phone calls. He came here anyway and said, "I'm just doing this as a favor, really. I don't work for Home Warranty of America." He appraised the freezer of the refrigerator, which was almost dead. And then, finally, because it was his approval, the second one, they approved it for $200 more. So, we finally got the check. It was a couple of months and it was not a very pleasant experience. It ended in a good place because I kept calling and pursuing it.

    We still have open claims. The water softeners have not been dealt with. They have trouble finding someone so they kind of just don't do anything. When we first took out a policy two years ago, one plumber agreed to come out here. He will no longer come. He told me repeatedly, "I won't come anymore. I'm not dealing with that company." The reasons are: a) It takes way too much of his time, like half an hour in here, an hour there, 45 minutes here, to get an approval for a repair. So, he said, he simply won't come anymore.

    When the plumber first came, he was very nice and hardworking and did a good job. But then, that was like just a few times. And since we've had multiple issues and he refuses to come. So, there's really no one. If someone comes from about an hour and a half away, and they only come once. They haven't come back. They're supposed to come back but they haven't come back. It's really complicated and unpleasant.

    It's more difficult for people who don't live in an area that's accessible to the people they hire, but we shouldn't be penalized for that. If HWA tell us, "Go out, find someone," and I've literally go out and find someone. And first, I said, "I'm not going to find someone. That's your job, I'm paying you to do that." And they didn't do it. They didn't come through with anyone. So, I called back and said, "We're not yet done. There's nobody here." "Oh, well, okay. Maybe, we can find someone, but you go ahead and look." It's part of mixed messages. It's like drop calls. I'd be working on something saying, "Okay, can you try to get someone out here." And I just never hear from them.

    It really takes a lot of dedication and energy on my part to keep calling through and getting everything done. So, for the other open claims that we have I've let them go over the holiday. But at some point, I'm starting again. They don't contact me. I have to contact them and say, "Look, you never got somebody here for that blah blah blah in the basement water softener. When are you going to follow through on that?"

    We’ve moved multiple times and we usually have home warranty put in for the first year after we purchase a home. Signing up with Home Warranty of America online was easy. There was a form already in our packet so the real estate agent went ahead and set us up. I just went in and signed up with our personal info. We had one claim where they thought they had sent the request but they did not so I had to remind them again. But dealing with the reps through email has been fairly quick, although they read from a script. They are also very black and white in what they cover but some were a little misleading. Every year, they update what’s covered and what’s not so if you don’t read the whole policy each year, you might think you’re covered for something that you’re not. I’m not a fan of that. It’s not as clear and helpful as it should be. They should be more transparent in what is covered and what is not.

    We’ve had four different claims come through and usually, my wife tries to deal with the service the first time but if they don’t understand it, then I have to come and stay home from work in order to explain it. One claim was good but the rest were not very good and actually made my wife uncomfortable. With one of them, a shady-looking guy came and demanded payment upfront before he can look at anything. But it is my understanding that that is not supposed to be part of the contract or the process. We complained about that and they basically just okayed. He got paid, walked up, looked at the issue and then said they don’t cover that and walked away.

    What they have repaired seems fine but it seems like nothing can be done quickly. They had to come multiple times for the sump pump, HVAC and the dishwasher. Basically, if you want to use the home insurance, it had better not be an emergency. That’s the motto that we use with family and friends. They should vet their contractors better. It’s obvious that some are the cheapest ones out there and they’re not necessarily doing the right service work. They don’t go above and beyond for supporting to make the customers happy. Several of them were not very professional in what they were doing so they were not very good representation for the home warranty. They were even rude to my wife and to me. We got home warranties in every one of our homes and this is by far the hardest one to deal with. It has been more of a waste of time than it was a benefit to us and we were actually going to cancel.

    When I moved into our house seven years ago, it already had the policy with Home Warranty of America. And so, I continued it because I was by myself and it was something that I might use. But now, I'm thinking that it was not such a good idea. The price keeps going up. I have had to pay them something when somebody comes out, and it was $65 when I first started with them and now, it's $100. And then, I needed help on Christmas Eve when half of my oven door fell off, and I was in the middle of cooking Christmas dinner. I called and they said they don't do things like it because it was too little and there might just be a loose screw. So, I was not too happy. The claim was cancelled right away when the rep said they didn’t do that.

    The representative was very nice but she was not of any help to me. I expect them to help me I expect them to help me. And I'm in the process of thinking if I want to keep the policy. Still, my overall experience with Home Warranty of America has been okay. And everybody has been very professional. I called them one time for my garbage disposal and another time for my plumbing. They sent somebody out and it worked out fine.

    Home Warranty of America is a disaster and this is the last year that I'm going to be with them. When I came back from vacation, my microwave was broken. Home Warranty of America sent me someone who was an absolute joker. He took my $75, and didn’t fix the microwave. He gave me the most preposterous diagnosis and just told me to use an extension cord. How would using an extension cord make the microwave go on?

    Home Warranty of America called him, and he told them he doesn’t know what the problem was. So they told me they’ll assign it to someone else. The second person kept me waiting, and never pitched nor answered the call. They gave me a third vendor, which had a bogus number. They basically don't have vendors in the Washington Metro area for a microwave. So they told me to find my own vendor, but they refused to give me a budget. Nobody gave me a number so I can't find my own vendor. There was no follow up and I've been calling them every week.

    When my garage door wasn’t working, they sent someone over, and it took two weeks for a part. Now, the person who installed the garage was just down the road and I can get a part from them. But they got a vendor from very far away and lives about 60 miles away. He had to bump me into his schedule, and that took two and a half weeks. As far as my heating unit went, they gave me a vendor, never called me or returned my call. The people at Home Warranty of America have a script and they talk like parrots. It's not problem solving. My daughter has American Home Shield, and I'm going to transfer to them once my contract expires.

    Home Warranty of America was recommended to me and I’ve had them for years. I’ve been very happy up until now. I have a broken garage door and they sent a company to fix it. The contractor didn’t even open up the motor. He just walked in the garage, looked around and decided that everything that wasn’t included needed to be replaced at my own cost of $800, and the motor was still working. I brought in another person, my own person, who opened up the garage door opener and saw that it had cracked inside. There were pieces from the cracked part as it was turning and they needed to be replaced regardless of whether it’s working or not.

    I called the contractor but he never returned my call. I called HWA and they said they would try to send me someone else. They said the closest person they could find to me happened to be two hours away, so they refused to come. This was after two days. Normally, when something breaks, they give you a money allotment. They say, “We’ll give you $300 or you can have us fix it.” I said, “Find out what the money allotment is, and I’ll just get it fixed myself.” And they said, “Well, we can’t do that because our guy did not say it was broken,” even though I sent them pictures showing them the inside of the garage door opener and they could see it was definitely broken.

    So, now they’re looking for someone else, and they’re not going to find anybody closer than the person they just found. They’re going to have me call somebody who’s four hours away who’s not going to come. I asked for a supervisor, and she said, “Okay. You’ll hear from them within 24 to 48 hours.” So, that means another two days without my garage door working, which means it’s been almost two weeks now, and they still refuse to make me an offer so I could get it fixed. And their solution is, “Bring somebody in and have them look at it and have them call us.” And I said, “Will you approve?” And they said, “We’ll only approve what we’re willing to pay.” I said, “That’s not going to work, because if I pay somebody $100 out of my pocket to come look at it, and they tell you it’s $500, you say, ‘We only pay $200,’ they’re not going to do it.” So, that is not a solution.

    Now, I told them that I got somebody. I found the person who came and took the pictures. He said he would do the job for $425. I said, “Why don’t you get authorization, give me the money, and I’ll have him do it?” But they wouldn’t do that. So, now I’m sitting and waiting for a supervisor to call for 24 to 48 hours. Again, it’s winter here in New York. The whole reason I need the garage is to get the car out of the snow when it snows and they’re just dragging it on and on and on. And they refuse to tell me what the allotted amount is.

    Up until this point I really had no complaints with them. They’ve been good most of the time about who they send. But for some reason, they don’t seem to have any local garage door repair people. So, it’s creating an issue, because the one that they do have seems to be extremely dishonest and not very reliable. I’m hoping a supervisor will be able to say, “This is the amount we allot for an installation and a new garage door opener.” So then at least I know if I’ll call somebody, if they’ll accept that amount of money, I can go ahead and do it. But I can’t have somebody go check it, pay them a fee, then have them call and then have them tell me sorry, they’re only going to pay half of my fee.

    The old company that I had would not cover my garage even though it was on warranty because it was detached with an electrical problem. And so, I decided to switch and went to Home Warranty of America because they cover my detached garage. I was just looking at online reviews then and it seemed that people were overall happy with them. I’ve been with them for several years and their service has been good. They do try to upsell different things and I have added on some different things also over the time, but they’re always very polite. Their reps have always been pleasant.

    However, I have a claim for a repair for my fridge that has been open since December the 7th. I submitted it online, they called back right away, and the company that they sent out called back right away too. But now I’m having trouble getting them to come back out after they took my $100 and get it fixed. They said they had to wait for parts. I called HWA last week, and they were going to be following up with it because they were having trouble getting a hold of the company that they sent out also. The last time I had my oven go out a couple of months ago, the people they sent out was great. In fact, they don’t make the parts for my range anymore so I ended up getting a new oven. I would recommend HWA because they’ve been nothing but great since I’ve had them. I’ve been happy with them thus far. I just wish that they wouldn’t be taking us along for this fridge. But I know it’s not their fault, it’s the company they sent out.

    When we purchased this house, the title agency had all this information in their office and suggested for us to use Home Warranty of America. That was seven years ago and so far, our experience with them has been good. Their reps were very nice people, too. When we first signed up and paid the bill, it was a lot less expensive to have somebody come out. It cost $65 then but now it's $100.

    When we had a problem with the microwave, we called them to submit a claim and it took a couple of weeks before someone came out. They had to replace my microwave but the first tech they sent said that he didn't do the installation. He also said that he would call and give Home Warranty of America the information on the size and measurements. But we never heard from them. So I called Home Warranty of America again and told them what transpired. They said they were going to see if they could get the information, then they sent somebody else out. The tech who finally came took the measurements and was good enough to send all the information in there. He was also the one who came out and installed the new microwave.

    The replacement works but it’s not as nice as the one that we had before. Also, it took from November 21st until after Christmas before the new microwave was delivered here and we had to call the person to install it. We had to wait that long and that was a big disappointment. Since we didn't have a microwave for a month, we went out and bought a $50 microwave to play with. We seldom use it now because our microwave is a built-in one.

    My most recent experience with Home Warrant of America was when I put a warranty call online for a plumbing incident. I called them on Wednesday with the intent of being off on Friday and was told I would be hearing from somebody by Friday and that somebody would come to my house in two days. But I did not hear anything and it kind of killed Friday and the weekend. Then, on Monday, I called Home Warranty and within five minutes after calling, the service people called me and said, “We just got your message and we're getting to you.” In this case, there was a blockage on our sink so, we just couldn’t use that sink. Had it been something else, I would be really irritated and very frustrated.

    But most of the technicians that come out here are very friendly, very knowledgeable, and they work really hard on getting the job done. I've had a couple that has gone above and beyond who were not satisfied just to fix the problem or to identify the problem. They were there to fix the problem and so, they put the extra effort to it, tell me exactly what the problem was, and even telling me so far as much as they would go get the part and be back the next day to fix it. I like HWA better than American Home Shield.

    Last winter, three days before the first of January, our furnace went out and I called Home Warranty. They supposedly contacted somebody but we never got any help until 10 days after our furnace went out in the middle of winter, and I was very irate at that time. Re-evaluating the situation, I came to the conclusion that Home Warranty did what they were supposed to do, and it was the company that they called who they had on retainer that messed the whole thing up. That company wasn't going to send anybody to work over the New Year’s holiday. But when the company got here, they fixed it and at this point, the furnace has been working very well. It’s been a very thin thread at times, but in the years we’ve had Home Warranty's service, we’ve only used them twice - once for the furnace and once for a disposal unit. The disposal claim was very smooth, and it's worked great since.

    I’m on my fourth renewal with Home Warranty and on this last one, they gave me another increase, which is the second increase I've had in four years. But we believe in having coverage simply because I’m 77 years old and I can’t crawl up into the attic and do things anymore. We sleep a little better at night because we know if something major goes wrong, they’re going to have the unit fixed, not replaced. Overall, Home Warranty lives up to its contract. The only problem is trying to select some providers, whether or not there’s an understanding that if you call them and ask them to come out, that they should contact us immediately and know that you’re waiting.

    I recently filed claim ** through HWA in order to have the heat in my house fixed during an arctic blast. The contractor that HWA wanted to use was not able to come out for 3 days, which was not going to work due to the temperature outside. HWA then stated I could use my own vendor to repair the A/C unit but that it was important for the vendor I used to call HWA prior to the repair being done to ensure they would cover the cost. My vendor come out the day I called and charged me 59$, then identified the issue which was my fan motor. My vendor then called HWA and informed them the cost would be 506$ + 59 service call which was paid the day prior. HWA approved the repair. After several days of not hearing anything I called HWA only to be told they hadn't gotten to the paperwork yet and it would be two to three weeks.

    Today I received a call stating they were only going to cover 151$ of the cost, because this is what they would pay. This is highway robbery. 150$ barely covers the cost of a certified air conditioning tech for 1.5 hours. A fan motor goes for much more than 150$. This 150$ barely covers 25% of what I paid out. I have been a customer for 1.5 years and am now considering cancelling my policy and getting what money I can back to cover the costs. Do not use this company!

    Home Warranty of America was part of the deal when we bought the house and now we're going on our second year with them. We used them a couple of times and I like their service so we kept them. They're the most economical compared to other companies for years of service. I find their plan to be reasonable and I got an easy payment plan if I need to pay. They allowed people to pay for the policy in a couple of payments if they wouldn't pay it all at one time.

    I go online and report when I have an issue with an appliance in the house. Their website is easy to navigate and I prefer to do it that way instead of just calling. I called for the first couple of times and they were busy. I could get them quicker by going online and entering my information, especially if it was over a weekend. when it's hard to get to a warm body. HWA deals with the repair people and sends whoever they have on retainer. They already have their own people and I didn't have anychoice on who they send. Then I give a review on the work that they did once they fixed the problem and went on back.

    One time, we had a plumbing issue and I had a bit of a leak in the roof which didn't turn out to be a leak. But they came and took care of what I thought was going to be a problem. We have a skylight and I thought it was leaking around but it was just condensation. Still, they put a water shield or guard that directed the water to go someplace else up there. In case it did cause a problem or would become a problem, that would help. I was pleased with the work and professionalism of everybody that HWA has sent out. The ones that I dealt with were all good people, friendly, and knew what they were doing.

    I didn't have any air conditioning and the repairman was really, really nice but he called Home Warranty of America and he told them what was needed to be done but they didn't approve it. So, he fixed it as much as he could but he couldn't fix it like it needed to. I paid him an extra hundred besides the deductible because HWA wouldn't cover the problem and the cost came out of my pocket. But several years ago before that when we also had a problem with the air conditioning, the repairman who was from Stonewall in a little community southeast of here talked to HWA about the issue and they approved it back then. Those are the only two times I called them and both times was about the air conditioner.

    I have the basic warranty and someone mentioned to me that there is a premium or premier warranty that's higher. I feel HWA might be easier to work with if I had the higher premium warranty versus the basic warranty. Nonetheless, the repairman was really nice. When he went out here, we had no air conditioning and it was in July. Oklahoma weather sometimes gets ugly in the summertime so we had six floor fans going 24 hours a day. At that time, I had two little dogs and they had to stay cool. At night, we would lay the washcloths on top of the dogs and then, the fan would be blowing on them so they would stay cool. I really need to call HWA and see if they have a plan other than the basic one. I wasn't happy with my second experience at all. My air conditioning had a Freon leak and they wouldn't do anything about that.

    Charlotte,

    In reviewing your claim, we show that the technician stated the failure was due to Freon being completely depleted in your AC unit. The out-of-pocket expenses were due to this issue as well. Unfortunately, not all claims can be completely covered per the contract's exclusions. contract states: HWA will pay up to $10 per pound for the cost of refrigerant for authorized repairs. I sincerely apologize if these exclusions were not thoroughly explained to you previously. I can definitely understand the concern with especially with the mentioned extreme weather. If you would like further clarification pertaining to this claim, a copy of your contract's terms or have any further questions, please feel free to chat with one of our live agents at hwahomewarranty.com.

    I’m very glad that I have Home Warranty of America. The warranty was included in the purchase of my home. I moved here from New Jersey and I had another warranty provider there, but I'm having a better experience with HWA. In fact, I just upgraded my plan. I’ve only been living in this house for a little over a year and, unfortunately, I had to put a couple of claims in. I had to use the warranty for a washing machine which had to be repaired and I’ve also called them in for a heat pump. Then our hot water heater had to be replaced.

    HWA had been very quick to assign the claims and get somebody out here. But there’s a break down between the vendor and them sometimes when it goes to the prioritization part of it. That’s on the vendor, though, and not on HWA. Also, HWA is not local, so they don’t know the local vendors. They’d just go by what people have used and had some good experiences with. I’d always go to Angie’s List to do a double check. Sometimes, I’d see that the vendors do not have a good rating on Angie’s List, although you can’t go by that either.

    Then when I'd call HWA and tell them I was having issues, they’d tell me that I might be better off having another package. But when they would explain it, the reps seemed to need more training to have a good understanding of what the packages entail. I went with the Green Plus, then there was this Orange Plus and the reps weren’t clear on what’s covered under that package. I was under the assumption that for one package, appliances such as the refrigerator and stove would be replaced with more energy efficient appliances. But I found out that that would be for high end appliances only like Wolf and I don’t have those type of appliances. Still, I like HWA and I would renew with them again.

    I've had Home Warranty of America since 2009 and the experience overall has been good. I have access to either call or go online to file claims. They call me usually within the next day to let me know who it is that was assigned. They also give me the contact information. The vendors have been consistent as well. But the fees have increased twice since I’ve had it, and though I would like it to be cheaper, it is what it is. At the end of the year, they tell me how much I saved if I had not had the warranty. So when you look at what you saved versus the increase, then it’s okay. I've told one friend about HWA ‘cause she had another warranty company and she was having problems with it. I told her who I was using and to check them and see how would they compare to who she currently has.

    I’ve always had a warranty and it’s paid off once or twice. I always think that if my air conditioner goes out completely, that’s big bucks to have to replace it. Having a warranty is a handy insurance policy. I had another warranty service and then they quit serving the area that I lived in, so I asked around and Home Warranty of America was recommended by somebody. Signing up was very easy. Every time I have called, they’ve been very courteous and helpful. I like the service and it's easy to make a call or use my computer if it’s running. I also like that I don’t have to write a check. They just take the payment out of my checking.

    Last year, I submitted three claims. My dryer went out and my microwave handle broke. So the dryer was fixed and so was the microwave handle. Then the air conditioning wasn’t working right and that was fixed as well. The techs have all been great. The only complaint I might have, and it’s a recurring one, is that when I place a service call, I’m told that the vendor has 48 hours to contact me. Sometimes, that’s not convenient because if your air conditioning goes out in the middle of summer, it’s hot. One time, I needed to go to Walmart and buy a window air conditioner. I lived in my bedroom for two or three days. Another time, when they came here, they had to order a part so that delayed things a few more days. But these are not big things, nothing to make me change my mind about continuing to use Home Warranty of America's service.

They also give me the contractor's phone number so that if I didn’t hear from them, I could contact them. Then they tell me the cost for the visit which is at $75 now. I usually hear from the person on the same day and they make an appointment. Then they come and fix the problem.

    Last year, my air conditioner went out. It was 122 degrees here and I lived on a portable air conditioner in my family room that was attached to my kitchen. It was hell. I had the news people here and I was on the TV. But once the contractor finally figured out that they were at fault, they got it fixed. But it took them a week. I’m 71 years old and that was a long time for this old body to be in that kind of heat. Other than that, Home Warranty of America have always done me well and I’ve never had a problem with them. Everything has always been fixed and they replaced like with like. I had a fan out in my bathroom that has a heater on it. When it was broken, the person was going to just put in an exhaust fan. But I told them not to do that so they gave me the correct unit which was a heater and an exhaust on it. So Home Warranty of America live up to what they say they’re going to do.

    There was a leak in a water line in the slab and Home Warranty of America said that fixing the water pipe was covered by my policy. But to me, that was almost deceptive because to repair the water line, the contractor had to gain access to it and that was not covered. I had to pay for jack-hammering the slab up and replacing the tile which was the greatest of the cost. Once they got access to the water line, they repaired it. But that part has been troubling me. I'm sure it's in the contract some place but it must be buried deep and in fine lines. It seems that inevitably, if there was an issue, whether or not it would be covered would always be conditional upon this and that.

    Other than that, the few other issues I had were clear-cut. The house is a little older so I have had Home Warranty of America from the time I bought it. The first year, there were some air conditioning problems and I was glad I had the warranty. They paid the agreed-to amount while I paid the service call and my claim was taken care of. The same thing happened for all my other claims. Still, I would tell others to be cautious before signing up with Home Warranty of America and shop around. It seemed that more times than not, the work was not covered or there was a real stipulation to it that left me with the greater expense. I also had an issue with drains that I had to pay several service calls for. I eventually got that taken care of but the first guy who came out said that he couldn't find the problem although he knew what was causing it. Then he left.

    When we bought our condo, the seller purchased the warranty from Home Warranty of America for us, and it was included in the purchase. We just continued recently, and we are on our second year now. However, we weren’t actually planning on extending out warranty. But our garbage disposal went out right as the warranty was going out. So, we called them to make sure that the complaint got registered before it expired. We were just going to make the warranty lapse, but we were also afraid that if we did, we might lose the coverage for the garbage disposal. So, we just kept it. Furthermore, we also had an old dishwasher that went out, and they ended up buying it out of us.

    I was hoping that they’d get us a new one, like what their advertisement basically said – that is something goes wrong and it dies, they’ll get a new one for you. But they didn’t. They just bought us out of it, and that’s another reason I wasn’t planning on extending the warranty. Because I felt like I got shafted. I didn’t think that it was worthwhile. I pay $45 a month, and if I put that money aside, we can use it to actually buy something. Other than that, it’s great when they come out and they fix the stuff. It’s also nice to have them because I can just call them and tell them that I need something done. However, when HWA sends it over to the contractor, sometimes, the contractor doesn’t call immediately. But HWA gives us the number of the contractor and tell us that we can call them if the contractor doesn’t call us. So, that useful and helps speed up stuff a little bit.

    HWA has an online system where you can place a complaint and give them a brief description of what happened and why something isn’t working. The contractors that come out have also been from the same company. The first few times we’ve had a problem with the dishwasher, we’ve always had the same guy, and he was always very courteous. He was really good and knew what he was doing. But he was always late, and I don’t like having to wait all day off of work.

    They would set up a window for them to come, and it would always be at the very end, if not after that window. So, we keep getting pushed back. There was at least one where we cancelled because it was 9 in the evening. I told the guy that I had to go to bed. So, even if he came down to fix it, it would be past my bedtime. But they always called to let us know that they were running late. I think they may be understaffed, and there’s probably just one or two guys. Or that we may be on the very edge of their service area.

    We also got our garbage disposal repaired, and I wanted them to take it out because I didn’t want it. I’m trying to be green, so we didn’t use it because it’s adding waste to the sewage, and that’s not the best way to do that. So, I wanted them just to take it out and put a regular pad bin because it wasn't working anyway. But instead of doing that, they decide to pay for a new garbage disposal and put it in. I was thinking, "Well, would it be cheaper just to put a pipe here?" But they replaced it, and that's fine.

    The guy who put it in wasn’t our usual guy, and he didn’t lock it up properly. And when we were washing the dishes and let the water out, I heard a gush of water. So, we opened the cabinet underneath the sink, and it was inundated. Half of everything that was in the sink was under there now. So, we had to take everything out, mop it off, dry everything, and clean it off. HWA sent the guy back out and he ended up having to run to Home Depot and get some parts to fix it. We’ve been keeping a dishpan underneath the sink, just in case, but it hasn’t leaked since, and it’s working fine.

    We also have a couple of issues going on with our wiring right now, and I need to check and see if it’s covered under HWA. We're thinking about putting in another request for a lighting fixture in the bathroom. I think the ballast is going out on the fluorescent light in the bathroom. So, it's just a little bit more complicated than I can handle.

    We purchased an older house and it made sense to get a warranty for the safeguard against huge expenses. My father chose Home Warranty of America. For the most part, our experience has been okay with the exception of the claim against my air-conditioner. When they sent somebody out, I had to pay the $60 deductible. And they reset the switch because my unit is on the roof. I’m disabled so I’m not able to climb up and reset it. They said it needed to be cleaned. I had it cleaned and I did everything that needed to be done. I even replaced some parts at my expense. And it was frustrating that it took over two years before they finally concluded that the unit was no longer serviceable even though it was as old as the house. It was more than 20 years old and it kept having problems. And they only replaced it with the same size unit which was already under-sized for the house.

    The people that Home Warranty of America sent out were adequate. They were professional but they tried to charge me for extra things that they should have included in their original quote to the home warranty company. But I simply refused to pay. When they gave me the estimate of what the additional charges would be, which would be a couple $100, I told them they needed to work it out with the warranty company as far as what additional things they needed. They tried to charge me for some extra drainage pipe and some other things. And they tried to charge me for new stuff that they didn’t put in.

    Our purchase contract for the house when we bought it in 2006 included a one year of coverage for the appliances by Home Warranty of America, and then we extended the service. It has been useful because we have had a few problems and it saved us the need to buy a new appliance, like the washer for clothes and the dishwasher, so the experience has been good. Also, the charge was reasonable and we have had some services during the period that were still active and we wanted to continue. We did the renewal process through the internet and it was very easy. Our last claim was for the heater of the kitchen that had some electric problem and a guy came to fix it. Before that, the dishwasher was leaking. Everything has been fine with all the contractors who have been sent.

    When I bought the house, the previous owner had the warranty with Home Warranty of America, and I continued it. When I called them, they answered the phone and asked about what the problem was. And when I submitted a claim, they sent someone right away. If not right away, they sent someone the next day. Their reps were courteous, too, and the technicians who came out were professional. But every year, even if I don’t have any claims, they raise their prices. They also charged me twice last month and the previous month. They said I missed two payments in 2016 but they had my credit card on file and charged me every month. So, I had a big argument with them but they still didn't help me and forced me to pay it.

    Hello Abid. Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us and express your personal experience. We are glad to hear of the quick service you received on multiple occasions with getting your claims processed. We do our best to keep prices low for our homeowners, however due to the price increases in parts and labor, we unfortunately have to calculate this into the rate at renewal time which in some cases can cause an increase in the overall price. After looking into the past contract records we see that a payment for the month of February in 2016 was missed which caused two payments to be made in March. We are sorry for the frustration that may have been caused by the two payments being made in the same monthly time frame. We understand the hassle that can be caused by the financial side. Please feel free to reach out to us by calling in at (888) 492-7359 or by emailing us at digitalcare@hwahomewarranty.com with any further questions or concerns that we can assist you with.

    Home Warranty of America came with the house that I purchased as it was covered by the seller. I've been using it for three years now, and I have availed of their service twice. My experience in online claim submission was good, and everything was reasonable. I did not have to wait for weeks. They charged a $60 fee, for example. My dishwasher went bad, so they fixed it. And then it went bad again, so they replaced some water – it was all covered. Then there was a kitchen sink motor that went bad, and they replaced it too. They were helpful based on the experience so far, and the contractors they have sent out were very professional. It has been pleasant, so I’ve been referring to my friends.

    When the house was bought, Home Warranty of America came with it. The seller paid for the first year and we just keep renewing it because if something broke on the house, it would be cheaper and easier to deal with through HWA. So far, we have submitted a claim twice. We had a renovation and after we had some plumbing work, when they turned the gas and the water on, the hot water heater went out. So HWA came in and replaced it.

    Then there was trouble with the washing machine. They came out and fixed it but a couple of days later, it went out again. That went on for about eight months until finally, they replaced the washing machine. It was very frustrating because they kept sending people over and it was a long process. There was also a lot of miscommunication between their reps. They told me they talked to this person but when I called that person, I was told that nobody has called them. So it was kind of going back and forth. Other than that, we're glad to have HWA.

    I had seven properties under Home Security of America, and one of them was in New York. When Home Security of America no longer serviced New York, I did a little research, and Home Warranty of America seemed like a good option. I have four warranties with them. In my primary residence, my refrigerator was deemed not repairable - I'm in Arizona and I didn’t have an icemaker for nine months because they couldn’t find somebody. They also would not replace it with a comparable item because it is an upgrade. But the warranty clearly states that it will be replaced with a comparable item that is readily available.

    Initially, they sent a repairman within a week, but that guy made it worse - it stopped making ice altogether. So they sent somebody who was familiar with the unit but he said, “I’m not touching it. Call LG.” Then LG came out twice, but they still couldn’t fix it. So I had three different people over five times. I had to follow up, and they’re like, “Oh, sorry. We forgot to get back to you.” It was pretty complicated. So, the first refrigerator they offered me didn’t have an icemaker, and I’m like, “That’s the issue. It’s the icemaker. I mean I understand that you guys are not going to be reading my details, but whoever is recommending the replacement should replace it with something comparable.”

    Then I told him, “Just be cognizant that it’s going to be counter-width.” The next one had an icemaker but was not counter-width. And placing-wise, they were going directly through GE. There was not much difference in GE’s suggested retail from what they were offering me to the counter-width. They just would not go to the counter-width. I had no expectation that if I had the lowest contract I was going to get the best replacement. So, I go for the premier, the gold, the platinum warranty. The unit cost me $2,600, and they’re only offering me $1,600. They would only give me a standard ref. I have a super small custom kitchen, so I had to have counter-width. So, I waited until the Thanksgiving sale, and I bought a unit that was like super reduced, which came close to what they were offering me, and I just took the $1,600.

    With respect to that, I was not satisfied. The girl that I was dealing with said, just out of making a point, “This is what we’re offering you”, which was weird. I haven’t had issues with them, but that was pretty significant. In other minor claims like drains clogged, they respond pretty quickly. But in a higher-end claim, they hesitated.

    Good Morning Sue,

    We appreciate you taking the time to provide your personal experience with us. We certainly want to apologize that you have had to go through many vendors to accomplish a resolution for your claim. We are working diligently to improve processes within our company to ensure that we have consistently great customer satisfaction.

    Regarding coverage, once a claim is submitted, a technician will come out to officially diagnosis the problem. The coverage will be based on the technician's diagnosis, recommended solution and the contract terms. Should there be any additional out of pocket expenses such as modifications or items not covered by the warranty, this will be discussed with you prior to any repairs or replacements. Unfortunately, not all claims can be (completely) covered per the contract's exclusions.

    Regarding your concern about a repair vs a replacement, HWA will only offer a replacement, if the item is no longer repairable or if the repair cost exceeds the replacement cost. We do warranty 30 days on labor and 90 days on parts from date of service.

    If you would like further clarification about, a copy of your contract's terms or have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to chat with one of our live agents at www.hwahomewarranty.com. Thank you and have a pleasant day!

    I bought a home and my realtor suggested that I get a warranty. The house was 12 years old. It was in really good condition but she said considering it was over 10 years that the contractor wasn’t going to do anything to get it and she suggested Home Warranty of America. The seller went with it as well and I renewed this year. They were a bit pushy. They kept telling me I had to renew and it’s three months out. And it’s like, “No. I don’t have to renew. I know when I need to.” I understand it’s business and they want to make sure that I sign up with no problems and when I decided to renew my contract there was no problems whatsoever.

    I’ve only had one claim denied and that was for the garage door. It had gotten hit and because it had gotten hit they didn’t okay it because it wasn’t wear and tear. I didn’t hit it but that’s okay. And by the time I would’ve submitted it to the insurance it was just easy to pay for it. But there's been no problem with everything else that I have submitted. They come out and it’s a $60 service fee. They assess the situation and then they tell me what’s wrong with it. And they let Home Warranty know and Home Warranty then okays it and they fix it. They’re very competent and very efficient.

    A couple of the vendors they have chosen have refused to come out or can’t be reached so there’s a little bit of a time delay to get somebody out. But that’s not Home Warranty’s fault. That’s the vendors and that’s just business. But mostly everyone who has come out had been proficient, very knowledgeable. They do their job and they’re skilled.

    I was advised by some friends who have had homes for a number of years that since it had central heating then I should get it maintenance every six months. I can’t crawl up there and change the screens so I had a company come out and they tried to tell me that the system was bad and I needed a whole new system. I called Home Warranty. They sent someone out and they said, “Nope. All you need is some new Freon and that the switch for the furnace wasn’t working correctly.” I would recommend Home Warranty of America without a doubt. I don’t have the platinum, the top-of-the-line policy but they are a little more expensive than some of the others that are out there but I think I'm getting my money’s worth.

    I was introduced to HWA company when we bought this house three years ago. They foresee I would need them. The representative came over and did an excellent job. Just before Christmas we called them because our heating system was not giving enough heat. The man came over, he looked at it and said there’s nothing wrong with it. So I gave him the $100 and he left. It was a business holiday. Everybody was busy and he did not get involved with a big job. Right now we have the oven on to get enough heating here.

    I was planning to call to tell them about it because it appears from past experience in my other house every time there was a problem similar to this the plumber will bleed the pipes. And I told him that’s what he needs, to bleed the pipes. He says, “No, it doesn’t. Everything is fine.” So I gave him $100 for nothing. Perhaps they can send somebody who is very experienced with plumbing and somebody who will not feel too laid back to go and to work of bleeding the pipes. Maybe that man didn’t want to get involved because bleeding the pipes takes a couple of hours. Also the wait when I call in a claim is within half an hour. But they treat me fine. Also when they came for the washing machine I had no problem at all. It was a pleasure.

My first appointment was Wednesday last week and they didn't make it on time. But when I called to confirm, they let me know that the technician was going to be late and I could reschedule if I wouldn't be able to meet them at the time that they were projected to be here.

    When I bought the house, the owners already had the Home Warranty of America policy and I just continued it for the last eight years. The first seven years, I never had any major problems. They just came, fixed this and that and I paid my deductible and that was it. The issues were repaired. In June of 2017, my refrigerator went out and they were very good with that. They did a buy-out and I was able to buy a refrigerator right away. The only bad thing about that was that they offered a certain refrigerator and I chose to buy another over what they were offering. I had to wait three weeks to get my check.

    Then in September of 2017, my air-conditioning unit went out. I live in South Mississippi and it’s in the high 90’s here. An air conditioner is something I can’t do without in this area. So, I did a couple of claims with the customer service and there were no managers that a consumer can talk to. They said they would have them call me back and I got a callback on my cell phone during the day but I don’t have my cell phone on network typically so I missed it. So, I was out of air-conditioning for three weeks. Its compressor went out and the whole unit needed to be replaced according to the air-condition repair people. But Home Warranty of America just wanted to replace the compressor which was fine. However, the compressor was on back-order with their vendors, so I had to wait for an additional week.

    I went to the Better Business Bureau website. I found an email for the president of Home Warranty of America. Before I file the complaint with the Better Business Bureau, they requested that I send an email to that email address. I did and HWA responded very quickly. My request was to allow the repair people to order a compressor through their vendors and bypass the Home Warranty contracted vendors because their contracted vendors had it on back-order. They did that and it took place so quickly. I had my air conditioner up and running the next day. In the end, I had to go through all this aggravation for three weeks and I requested to speak to a supervisor every time I called because they couldn’t give me an answer. But when I emailed their president, only then did these people jump right on it and took care of it. I was going to shop around for another warranty company but overall, though, I’m satisfied with them.

He had availability that day but I don't have so we scheduled it at a convenient time. Also, when I've had any issues, there has been a good follow up.

    We lived in Maryland then we came back to West Virginia and bought this house. The previous owners had Home Warranty of America so I just kept paying for it every year when it was due. I've had Home Warranty of America since 2004 and they're very professional when I call but it takes them a while to get somebody here. My refrigerator went out three years ago and it took them six days to get somebody to check it. I'm a widow and I live alone. And I wish HWA could get somebody out here faster. We have good contractors here and HWA should get in touch with them. Also, when you have home warranty, they don't pay that much because they would say everything was just too old. When my air conditioner and furnace went out this past year, HWA took the claim but they didn't pay that much on it. All they paid for was the evaporator coils.

    We had Home Warranty of America when we bought our house. The previous owners arranged the warranty through them. I can either call or go online and put a claim in but I have problems with internet service where we're at so I usually call in to submit a claim and I find it easier because their guys can look right away and see if the claim is covered by the warranty or not. Their technicians were very good, very professional and attentive. We've had a local plumber that we've had here a couple of times and an electrician we had out last year that we called and did other work on our house. They always get back to us if we were waiting on something and they send me an email notice right away that they've put the claim through.

    My heater didn’t go hot and it either went up or the water never went up to the point where it made my radiator hot downstairs, yet Home Warranty of America wouldn’t cover my problem. I wanted to pay $1,000 for both the radiator in my basement to get fixed and the one in my room, but they said the claim was put in together, and it had to be done and covered. The claim couldn’t be split, so that was a bit strange. They just told me it was $1,000 and I was never given an option to convert my plan to another. But they were able to pay for the one in the room for it to get done and that was only $100 for two hours.

    Every six months, the heater would go out and I’ve got to call the plumbing people to come out and take it up. My pipes may have to be lifted because the sound of water made it seem like the water doesn’t go where it needs to go, and I got tubes in two separate kitchens. The problem is only my upper floor, not in my basement, because I got a kitchen in my basement too. However, Home Warranty doesn’t cover the pipes, so that’s a whole another expense from my pocket. This issue is too much for me. I try to have everything I need as a parent and as a homeowner and just be responsible but I just can't get a break from this problem. I'm going to have surgery on January 9th and I really want to get that heater fixed in my room because that’s where I'm sleeping.

    Home Warranty of America took care of me at different times like when my doorbell went out or when my washer wouldn’t spin and wouldn’t stop the water in it. They fixed those with my deductible and that was money saved, so that was a blessing. I've been with Home Warranty of America since I had my house in 2008 but they're not going to get more than that because of this dissatisfaction that I have. Also, right before I renewed with them, I had to pay a bit more. I was paying $71 and now suddenly it’s $76, but that still wasn’t covering anything. I went to other warranty companies and they’ve been trying to send me flyers to come with them, so I'd renew with them. I still have a problem with my heater and I'm trying to find somebody to do that.

    I've had a home warranty before and it helped. So when I was buying a house that was 30 years old, I decided to get one again and my real estate agent recommended Home Warranty of America. I've sent claims to HWA a couple of times but I had a bit of a problem when it was a weekend and the contractor didn't want to come out. It was a four-day holiday here because of the Mardi Gras. It took us almost a week to get the tech come out.

    I've had the tech before for another occasion with some plumbing under my sink, and he was a nice person. He was very friendly and very professional. He had to put a new water heater in and it was all done. I never had any problem getting HWA to respond. And it may take a while to get a technician to call me, but HWA always gives me a name.

    Being a homeowner has a lot of responsibilities and a lot of unexpected expenses. Home warranties help to mitigate those expenses when they are completely unexpected versus planned maintenance and things that you know you are going to get hit with. Home Warranty of America was the warranty company that had been included when we purchased the house. Whenever we submit a claim, we just call them and they send someone out. There are times when the allowable expenses are not exactly what I think they should be. But all in all, aside from price, I can’t complain. We have been fairly happy with all the contractors that have been assigned to our claims.

    I bought my home two years ago, and the realtor told me about Home Warranty of America. The reps walked me through the sign-up and then I renewed my contract again last year. Recently, something was wrong with one of the coils in my sink and it was leaking underneath. Everything was good when I called. However, I was misguided when I got the warranty. I thought the deductible was $100 or $50, and they always advertise that you get two or three things done at one time. I'm having a problem with my washer also, and when I called it in for my sink, I said I could do them both together but they're two different things, so that would be two different deductibles and I don't have the money to do the washer.

    On the other hand, I was taken care of right away and the two guys that came out to help me, Jack and Zack, were 100% on target. They were fabulous, dressed clean, professional, spoke clear English, and did exactly what they came to do. I would recommend them. I have only used them one time, but what had been done was good.

    Home Warranty of America is pretty good but the technicians that they have are not the best. Usually, they send a technician who comes three times and they pay the technician $500 but still, the situation is not fixed. Then, I would say that I need somebody else to come, they would send someone and that person will fix it. I had a claim for the dishwasher and they spent a thousand dollars to get it fixed because they went through so many people. I'm only paying a one-time $75 fee but it's annoying to have somebody three times and not have the dishwasher fixed for two months. They were here for two hours and they don't know the job. I think Home Warranty doesn't have the business intelligence to see if it's worth it for them to spend another $500 to get a second person or if it's better for them to give us the money to buy a new dishwasher. But the last person they sent fixed it well.

    Now, I have to remember the people who really know how to fix things so that when I have a problem, I would tell them I need that person even if there's one week delay instead of having just somebody walk in here. Also, I recently had a problem with the furnace which is around 20 years old. They were supposed to tell me how much money they will give us so that I can decide whether I want to take the money or whether I want them to send somebody to fix it but they have never responded about it. It's been almost four weeks.

    I was with American Home Shield first and sent a repairman for my double oven. The man replaced the part. He didn't screw it in tight enough, and it blew my whole Thermador oven, which is a very expensive oven. When I told American Home Shield that, they could only give me a fraction of it because I've had it a few years. But I couldn't go and get another Thermador oven. So, they replaced it with some other brand. So, I got rid of them, and I came to Home Warranty of America. So far, they're okay. I try not to use them as much as possible, but they're a good company. They aren't as easy to deal with as American Home Shield was, but so far, the people that they've sent out are someone to fix your things.

    The electrician they sent out was Garrity Electric. The guy was good. I wound up having to pay for the job myself because it had to do the electrical outside before you can even do the inside part, that would be covered by Home Warranty, but he was excellent. So much so, I recommended someone use him a few months later. Then they told me he's no longer with Home Warranty of America, which was disappointing because I could still use him now.

    When I thought about what could go wrong such as my air conditioner and having to pay thousands of dollars versus only paying the deductible if I have a home warranty, I'd rather pay $75. When we lived in Maryland over 20 years ago, I selected Home Warranty of America because they covered more household items. They seem to be more friendly when I called and inquired about the coverage they have. Also, submitting a claim was always nice. When I do it over the phone, the reps were very knowledgeable of the product I’m speaking of and how to handle things. Their customer service skills were wonderful as well. They would give me the name of the company they’re going to send and if I don’t hear from that company within a certain width of time, they would give me the phone number and I can call and everything has always been just as they say.

    Sometimes, I submit a claim online and that's tough. It takes longer for me to do it because I have to make sure I read everything the system asked for and sometimes I get frustrated with it and just call in. It’s easier and quicker. Generally, out of all the people they’ve sent for different products, I want to contact those technicians from that particular company any time something like that happens rather than calling into a claim. For instance, my pool pump went out and we have a pool company that cleans our pool all the time and they do repairs. They were going to charge us over $3,000 for a particular pump on the pool.

    I called Home Warranty of America, did a claim, and the technician they sent came in and fixed it up for me. He cut out certain parts and charged the $75 deductible and the pool pump worked fine ever since. For the last four years, every year, the ice-maker in my GE refrigerator would break and not make ice. I would call in, have somebody come and repair it. I asked them to send in a GE person who would know their product more than any regular refrigerator repair guy. They sent the guy in from GE and he fixed my ice-maker. So far, I haven’t had any problems and it’s been three years ago.

The freezer door wasn't working right and the freezer wasn't making ice. They even took pictures but I don't know why the claim was denied. In the end, I canceled the policy.

    When we bought the house, my real estate agent requested that the seller includes Home Warranty of America in the sale. Submitting a claim is easy and I can call them or do it online, but I prefer calling. They quickly processed the claim and got it going. They asked me what the problem was, how long the problem had been going on and then they reminded me of my deductible. They told me who the person that they have recommended to come out and gave me the contact information of that person. They also told me that if I don't hear from anyone after a certain amount of time, then to call the person too.

    Except for one incident, dealing with the contractors has been good. My furnace went out and the contractor came out to fix it. A day or two later, they called and told me that Home Warranty was going to cancel my policy because the furnace was dirty and if I didn't want them to cancel the policy, I needed to get the furnace cleaned. They tried to sell me something and I didn’t like that. It was the end of winter, so our furnace was dirty.

    I had to work nights and I was tired of the furnace people calling me so much. By the time HWA called me, I told them that whatever they were going to do, just cancel the policy because I was tired of everyone calling and waking me up. Their rep said that she was not calling to cancel my policy and just wanted to let me know that any maintenance I do would be out of my pocket. If I get my furnace cleaned, they wouldn't cover it. I knew they didn't cover that. The threat that the furnace contractor gave me was not real and HWA said they didn’t say that to them. I’ll call HWA in the future if I have anything to do with the furnace or air conditioner. I wouldn’t want them to use that company for me.

    There was a time with my refrigerator when they had to recall the contractor back in. However, they replaced the refrigerator. Other than that, everyone that has come by here has done good, quality work. Being a single woman, I don’t have time to look and search for tradesmen and then try to figure out who’s not going to rip me off and who’s going to overcharge me. I like that HWA covers so many things and if I have an issue I can call and get someone out within the 24-hour period. I recommend them.

    My husband and I are both disabled so if something breaks down, we can't fix it ourselves. Signing up for Home Warranty of America was easy. And their price was good but I'm annoyed that it goes up every year. We've been with them for three years and we started out with $49 and now, we're up to $79. It is a little disturbing, and when I called in for someone, the copay went up, too.

    When I called them the first time for the water heater that went out, they refused to fix it. It was an original water heater from 1989 and at that time, it was leaking all over the garage and it was rusted on the inside. They said it was too old. There are little glitches and it was not covered but all companies do the same thing. My pastor ended up hooking up a new water heater for me. I also had a hard time getting a plumber the first time because they didn’t have any plumbers in my area and they wanted to send some guy from Florida who didn’t want to come up from there. So, I told HWA that they got to find me a local plumber and there was a guy up the road that I could call. So, they signed him up and now, whenever I need a plumber, I know they can contact him and he is two minutes away. He's good and I like him. I would tell my friends that I'm happy with HWA.

    I called HWA and told them what the problem was and they sent somebody out. Our stove controlling unit went out on our stove. The guy fixed it. He had to order the parts so it took him like a week but that was fine. They sent the same guy out to repair a practically brand new GE stove. The controlling unit went out and the guy said he'd get parts and let us know or come back but we never heard from him. We will never have him come back again. So we called back the Home Warranty people and asked them what was going on. They were apologetic and found somebody else to take care of it. I paid the first guy 60 bucks for coming out here. I didn't have to pay the second guy again. Home Warranty just took care of it. The second guy took care of the stove and was pretty quick about it. Lower rates would also be nice but everybody's been fine except for that one incident. I'd recommend Home Warranty.

The appointment was set up on Tuesday and the person that was sent out didn't have the equipment that he needed to detect our problem so, they sent someone out for another day, but they still were not able to find it.

    I'm visually impaired and this was my first time buying a house. This home was built in 2010 and in a few years, I'll probably have to replace the air conditioner. I had two different technicians in my house and I got the second opinion. One of them was my friend, but they both told me that the air conditioning had some rust. I called Home Warranty of America as I wanted to do a preventative replacement, but they are not going to do it. I have no control over when the unit will go. But maybe 2020 or 2021, while the weather is cool and the air conditioning guys are not busy and can give me a lot of attention, I would have Home Warranty of America come and get the unit switched out and make sure they do a good job installing.

    Home Warranty of America did cover certain things, like when my air conditioning motor was gone and they gave me a new motor, but there are things that they don't cover, so there were times that I ended up paying. When my garbage disposal was leaking, Home Warranty of America was taking too much time in getting an authorization. I needed to use the sink so I called my friend plumber and got it fixed.

    I also had a situation with my refrigerator. It has an icemaker that they cover. But they don't cover the water dispenser in it that was freezing. I called the appliance repair store one time, but they didn't do much and just said that they were manufacturing defects. The second time, I called a GE technician, which wasn't covered by warranty. He suggested that I install a heating system on the edge of the door frame and that certainly helped but Home Warranty of America should have covered the water dispenser because that was part of the appliance. They said the contract does not say that, and I have difficulty accessing the whole contract, so maybe that's true.

    Another issue that I had was when the flapper in my toilet went bad and it made a scratching noise that was really annoying. The flapper was a $40 part that needed to be replaced but Home Warranty of America said that since the toilet was functioning they would not cover it. I had to call the plumber and pay for that out of my own pocket.

    Those "third-party warranty companies" are very happy to take your money, but when it's time for them to have to help somebody out, then that's a different story. I don't like the fact that Home Warranty of America always tries to find a way to get out of a responsibility sometimes. So why am I paying them? I got an extended plan where if something happens and they have to re-pipe my house, they will cover that. I got it for peace of mind, but for a seven-year-old home, the pipes should be pretty sturdy and there shouldn't be any re-piping done. I have mixed feelings about Home Warranty of America and I feel restricted in terms of freedom. My contract with them expires next year and I'm debating whether or not I should renew, or even filing a complaint with Better Business Bureau.

If I have a question about something, they are always knowledgeable and answer my questions. I’ve used them three times and I’ve not had any issues at all. When I submit a claim I go online but I call them first and ask if the issue is covered. They’ll look and tell me to go ahead and submit the claim.

    I've had Home Warranty of America since 2001. About a year ago in May, I had a refrigerator go down and it took damn nearly six weeks to get that fixed. Then, this year, the same refrigerator went down again and it took over six weeks to get that one. The technicians attempted to repair it but didn't complete it. I went through a couple of technicians before I got anybody who could actually do the repairs. They ended up saying that the refrigerator shouldn't be repaired and they told Home Warranty that a long time ago but Home Warranty didn't want to replace it. We finally ended up replacing it. But I was a really unhappy camper on those two occasions.

    I suggest that when they have items that are needed to be used in the household, they don't drag their feet and take so damn long to get it either repaired or replaced. When I have to go six weeks without a refrigerator, that is a piss poor service. I was very dissatisfied. It's almost like they changed management. The management before took care of people but the management now doesn’t seem to.

    I've had some good and bad services with Home Warranty. When the technician is trying to get something done, they tell me it's taking a while to get it through Home Warranty. But when I call Home Warranty, they say that it's the technicians. I'm paying Home Warranty, so that's who I'm holding responsible. Also, I don't always get the best response from the people who answer the phone. I went with Home Warranty again because I've had some good experience with them.

    The house had Home Warranty of America when we bought it and we just continued it. We've been in the house a little over eight years and we're at eight years with them last August. The price has gotten bad and I asked them to increase the deductible by a $100. This reduces it $3 a year but it's $56. It started out at about $400 so it's gone up quite a bit. And I can understand it. I try not to use them any more than I have to. They held the price of $400 for a long time and now all of a sudden, it's starting to bite a little bit. The price is a little high especially since I'm trying not to use them in fact. The last three times I've had people out to look at the air conditioning or the heat, I paid for it myself. I don't like the idea of using insurance just because I got it. Insurance is supposed to be for really bad things. The only thing I've ever used them for was for a heat pump.

    I usually submit claims on the phone and the wait time takes 20 minutes. The music is one bad thing, it can be irritating. The sales reps are very nice though. I have to arrange a time directly with the vendor. But they respect the home warranty contract well enough that they give me a good time. It usually takes a couple of days or a day for a vendor to contact me once I’ve submitted a claim.

    The problem that I have with this house is that it has a heat pump manufactured by Amana and it's not a very good thing, and it generally requires somebody to come out once a year or twice a year. They come out and put three pounds of stuff in it and it'll be all right. But a couple of years ago, they sent somebody out and it was determined that the evaporator coil was leaking and that's why it was losing Freon. And so they put an evaporator coil in but it turned out it was the wrong one. And it's giving me flow problems in the house. I've paid to have an independent guy from Lindale to come out several times and do some work on it as recommended by the Homeadvisor. And the guy said that they put a coil in which was not the specified coil for the evaporator unit. It caused the flow to be reduced and they have these resistors that do the emergency heat.

    The heating unit from the heat pump has never worked and still they're not so I heat the house with emergency heat which is more expensive but it works and so I use it. But the evaporator coil made me mad that they put the wrong one in and not really told me about it. I'm sure they had problems getting the evaporator coil pump that’s why they used the wrong coil so they didn't have to buy the whole unit which would have been thousands of dollars. This was probably $1200 for the coil itself but that was irritating because I kept calling the vendor back about something rather and I couldn't get them to call me back. But other than that, experience has been good with Home Warranty of America.

We had a little problem with the washer and Home Warranty told us that it wasn’t covered. I had to speak with a foreign person who could barely understand me. I asked for a manager to call me back and I never got a response. We found out that it was a cracked hose so I took care of that and replaced it but still waited and never got a response from Home Warranty. I know that the washer and dryer are not going to last so I upped the amount to cover them, and I’m just going to wait and make Home Warranty pay for it.

And they put me in contact with somebody that was on their list of contractors, and they came out and took care of it. I just gave my co-pay. Overall, HWA's customer service is excellent. They’re quick and take care of whatever issues I have, and their price is fair. I’ve been happy with their service.

    The people who stayed in the house before I moved in had Home Warranty of America. I took it up after they left and renewed it since I need it for the house. Also, I wouldn’t have all that money out of pocket to do what I would need to do so the warranty does help in having things fixed and it comes in handy. However, they wouldn’t repair the sewer for me because those people had somebody come in from the outside to do it. When I applied the warranty, I told them that it wasn’t me who did it but they just told me they couldn’t do it. That was $1,200 and I had to borrow and I’m paying it back now.

    But everything else is okay. I submit a claim over the phone and everyone is so nice. I like the way they talk to me and answer me, and they are very considerate. They also looked at my dryer and so far, the work they’re doing is good. They follow through on most of the things I have called about as well. I would recommend Home Warranty of America.

    I got Home Warranty of America when I bought my house. I filed a claim about my HVAC unit. It was really easy to submit a claim. I just did it all online and they called me back. The website is 100% super easy to navigate. The contractors were pretty good as well. However, it took about two and a half months for my HVAC unit to get fixed. There was an issue. They were trying to get parts because it's an old unit and they couldn't get the parts. They wound up just replacing the whole thing. Also, they only have a 60-day warranty on their work. As a matter of fact, with my HVAC unit, they installed it in February. And then I never used my AC. I turned on my air conditioning in May and there was an issue with it. It wasn't covered under warranty. So I had to pay another deductible. Even so, it's always been good with them and I never had any other issues.

    Absolutely terrible, they deserve negative stars. You have no choice in the product repairs or replacement. They required us to pay more than needed because the brand they like to use would need modifications to fit in our home, those modifications were not covered. But they were only necessary because they wouldn't agree to use a different brand that would fit. They also required that we approve non covered repairs with the covered ones or they would not pay the covered ones.

    Decided to cancel and that was a whole other nightmare that is still going. I did everything. Write, read the contract, cancelled in writing in the time frame. Called for confirmation multiple time. Called after receiving the confirmation email to check on refund status, was told they don't have a cancellation department I can speak with and that it would take 6-12 weeks to refund the premiums. Since then they have again charged my bank account (Over a month after I received confirmation of my cancellation). I cannot get any returned phone calls or emails. I have disputed the charges with my bank and am working on going that route.

    Also watch out, they won't auto renew you the first year. But if you do renew then they will auto renew you but they will send you countless email and mail notifications that you need to renew, and your renewal deadline is approaching so you think if you ignore them it won't auto renew. Very shady unethical business. GO ELSEWHERE!

    When I purchased my house, the people who gutted and rehabbed the house gave me Home Warranty of America. I've been with them for 7 years. When my refrigerator went out on me, there was so much confusion because if Home Warranty can't fix it, they'd have to replace it. I went through a lot of drama for them to replace it. I had to keep calling back and call different people just to get what I needed that was in that contract. I went through changes when I could've just been able to go to someone and they should have been able to fulfill what was written. And it only took a minute for Home Warranty to do what they needed to do. Something that should have taken at the most a month went to almost three to get the replacement done.

    It made me nervous after that I actually went searching for another type of home warranty. But the competition out there was either on the same page or not even as good. I tried to reach someone on higher ground at Home Warranty when I was not getting the response I needed from customer service, but I couldn't reach anyone there. The managers didn't come to the phone and they didn't talk to me. A lot of things they wanted to do over the computer system by texting which was not always the correct way. I was spending my money and nobody wanted to be accountable. I was entitled to what was promised in that contract. But it was like everybody backed out. I got a voicemail but nobody called me back which was strange.

    I looked online and I discovered that the people who originally owned Home Warranty didn't own it anymore, sold to somebody else. I went digging for who to talk to because my claim was not getting resolved and my refrigerator was still broken. And when I went back to the person who I originally dealt with in sales, she put me in another department and I felt like Dorothy in the land of Oz. I was like a dog chasing its tail. It wasn't a good experience but it wasn't my nature to back down. Home Warranty of America should have better communication when something goes wrong and they should definitely have a force one can go to and it's fulfilled. But other than that experience, I have recommended Home Warranty.

    Signing up for Home Warranty service was easy and their sales representatives were responsive, friendly and helpful. But I’m not pleased with Home Warranty. Whenever I call in for a service, my claim gets denied. Although, I’ve had claims that were approved. In my recent claim for ductwork, they sent service and I paid hundred dollars service fee then the technicians told me that they don’t cover the service. They referred to some page on the contract. So, I said, “Why would you even accept the claim and send out someone if you knew it was ductwork and it wasn't going to cover it?” It was a bit frustrating because I should be told upfront whenever I call if the service I’m claiming is not covered. With that, I wouldn’t recommend Home Warranty.

    I couldn't be more disappointed with HWA's service. After my tankless hot water heater completely stopped working 13 days ago, I immediately placed a claim. The first plumber they sent was a no-show. The second was incompetent and did not do what he was supposed to to file the claim correctly. You would think that HWA would make sure their plumbers knew how to work with them since they only work with a select group. Since the second plumber messed up, a third plumber had to be sent who said the exact same thing as the second. HWA finally has authorized the claim to replace my hot water heater, but they will NOT cover the valve installation required to install the new unit, since my old unit has now been discontinued and cannot be exactly replaced.

    After the $100 service call and the $200 charge to add a valve, I will be paying $300 for the replacement while they will be paying $200 for the replacement heater. They have moved incredibly slowly and have been incredibly insensitive to the fact that it is late November and I've been without hot water for 13 days now with "3-5 business days until a follow-up appointment for installation can be set". I have a 1 year old daughter and need hot water. I wish I would've just bypassed them entirely at this point and taken care of it myself. What a miserable headache and I'm not really even saving any money. In fact, I'm losing money once you factor in the yearly cost.

I submitted a claim for the dishwasher which was fine, and it didn’t take long at all. Our freezer, on the other hand, took eight different trips to get it fixed. And I almost did not renew this year. They couldn’t figure out what was going on. And the first one was the auger motor and the icemaker, which they didn’t cover at all. I ended up putting $383 out of my pocket in that freezer having a warranty.

    The first person they sent didn’t know anything and didn't do anything. Another one came and he came back eight times before he finally got the freezer to work and it still doesn’t crush ice. He’s replaced everything, supposedly, but when I moved in here the refrigerator was making crushed ice, but it doesn't now. But it’s okay, I’m not going to mess with it. For $600 and some a year, I won’t go back with them next year. It’s a lot of money a year to pay and then they argue back and forth whether they want to pay for anything. I’ll find somebody else.

    Three months ago the built-in oven went out and they tried to fix it but they couldn’t so they replaced it. They gave me a thing to choose which one I wanted to put back in.

They then send someone over to take care of it. One time I had an air-conditioning problem and one of them said that it was the filters. I changed the filters and the battery then it worked and came back on. The latest one I did was for the drainage. The guy came in and flushed it out.

Although, when I had the refrigerator done, Home Warranty should've just replaced the refrigerator rather than putting a new compressor because the refrigerator is a side-by-side and it's at least 12 years old, so something else is liable to go wrong. I told them that whatever they would've allowed me, I would've put up the difference and bought a new refrigerator but they didn't go for that. It’s stupid because the compressor costs money.

    I've been with Home Warranty of America for 20 years now. Filing a claim with them had been a bit of a hassle since I had to wait much longer than if I had just hired somebody. You also often wait online. My most recent claim was for my AC, and the experience was terrible. The guy HWA sent tried to fix the unit and he made it a teeny bit better. However, it was summer then and it was 110 degrees so I needed better than a teeny bit better. At that point, I wanted them to get me a new system but they just kept telling me that they could send somebody out to fix the unit.

    I was in the heat for two weeks so I eventually just bought a new one because the warranty wasn't going to buy one. But some of the experiences I've had with them have been fine, especially if it's something more routine, easy and cheap, and their contractors have been better. I've had little plumbing things like clogged drains and they've been able to find me several choices of plumbers. I've also been able to get people in fast.

    When we were purchasing our home, our realtor gave us a list of companies to choose from. And I liked Home Warranty of America's coverage better. Our realtor handled the signup once we told her what we wanted, and the process was fairly easy. Submitting a claim has been very simple and very fast. I either do it online or I call, but I like to call and talk to somebody. The last thing we called about was our AC unit and we decided we wanted to purchase a new unit. So we took the cash value and then applied it towards the purchase of our new AC unit. And the process was easy, too.

    HWA does a good job of getting people out to us quickly and it’s a pretty seamless process. I pay my $75 fee and then they take care of it. The only thing is some of their service providers aren’t necessarily the best quality. Sometimes they have people that don’t know what they’re doing and HWA is very rigorous about having the same guy come out if he didn’t do things right the first time. We had this problem with our AC last year. We had to have the coils replaced and the guys that came out and did a good job replacing the coils, but they clogged the drain line from the AC unit. And they did not know how to fix it and the guy who came out this year to fix our AC was the one who fixed it, finally, after a year. It wasn’t even a hard fix. But overall, our experience was satisfying, and I would definitely recommend them.

    I own two houses and I've had Home Warranty of America for years. The warranty is to cover anything that could go wrong inside the house if I get the correct amount of coverage, and they did all that, but they don't choose very good technicians. The techs take forever to do the repair and it took them five days straight of coming out to my home to replace an air conditioner because the guy would come whenever he could. The air conditioner required a new coil because the old one was shot and Home Warranty paid for the unit but not for the coil which wasn't covered. I had another air conditioner that went out and it took them almost three weeks to repair it. They couldn't get the right parts and wouldn't approve them. Home Warranty of America should be more responsive in terms of time and they need to get better service companies.

    We bought a home and the previous owners purchased a one year warranty prior to selling the house to us. It was very easy to renew the warranty. I did it online and over the phone. Home Warranty of America even mailed an application form if I wanted to do it through mail. I called Home Warranty of America with a question because our first year expired at the end of September but I renewed in August. I wanted to be sure there was no double billing happening. I talked with a representative and she assured me that would not be the case. When I checked my credit card statement, it was true.

    We had several claims throughout the year and we found Home Warranty of America to be quick in response. Submitting a claim online was extremely easy and the website is user-friendly. Every contractor I've worked with has been superb and the overall quality of work was excellent. Home Warranty of America provided excellent service and I’m especially grateful for the contractors. I’m home by myself and I hear terrible stories all the time when having a man come to a home but the contractors were respectful, courteous, pleasant and got the work done.

    Home Warranty of America was recommended by my realtor and it was paid for by the sellers initially and when I compared what was included it had a reasonable price. I had to sign up online and then when it came time to renew I did a combination of online and over the phone. The first time I renewed it, it was a little difficult because the only option they gave me for the renewal online was to renew at the same level that I would purchase but I didn’t need all of that when I renewed. My big concern was the major systems in the home.

    The sales reps helped me and we talked about what was included and what wasn’t included and what I wanted and why. They tried to upsell but they let it go quickly when I explained to them what I was looking for. They helped me get it down to what I wanted and then they sent it online. Since then I was able to order it online the way I wanted to. I submitted a claim for the washing machine back on November 11, 2015 and it was easy. I was able to do it online and I liked it. I haven’t had any problems with the washing machine since then. If they handle a major claim the same way they handle the relatively minor one I'll be contented with that.

    We’ve had Home Warranty of America for a while and had no problems but this is the first time I’ve had a problem. We called because the water heater was out. They assigned us to a person who did work here before. That person’s schedule was busy but this was an emergent situation. So, Home Warranty was again contacted both by the vendor and by me and they said they were looking to get somebody. I told them again that it was emergent and asked what were they looking for. HWA told me to be the one to call. So I started to take down a couple of numbers and they’re all sold off numbers. I said, "You have no one in Jersey." They go, "No we gave you the one in Jersey." So they only have one person who was eligible to do this work in Jersey.

    So at that point they said that they’re not going to switch with the other person but I did. And that vendor came out and looked at the water heater. He indicated that the water heater was bad and needed to be replaced. He called Home Warranty up and told them what the situation was. He also told them what the pricing was and Home Warranty told him that they’d get a water heater. They asked to hold then said that the vendor had to buy it but the vendor didn’t have the money.

    I was not aware that Home Warranty stopped the vendor and was looking for another vendor. The only way I became aware was because the vendor told me. So I called Home Warranty and asked them to pay for the heater. The rep again told me that they were looking for another vendor. I said that they were supposed to pay for it and Home Warranty won’t buy it so that left very little choice. I called back and pushed my complaint and dissatisfaction. At which time, they said, “Well, you can do it on your own.” So, why do I have insurance and pay $1000 plus if I’m doing it on my own? Home Warranty told me to submit the bill for the heater purchase but the vendor I picked has to call them first or I won’t get my money back. I’m in a situation now where my last experience was pleasant in the sense that the last call today was to an individual who indicated this is what the reimbursement situation is going to be.

    But I have a company here now replacing the water heater. I’m putting out $4,300 for three to five weeks to get this done, not through Home Warranty but on my own. I’m going to get reimbursed at some point in time allegedly, but that’s not the idea of insurance, and I’m paying for it upfront. My wife and I are attorneys and I went through the contract and it doesn’t say that in the contract. It’s not clear that if something big like this happens we’re going to make them pay or the vendor pays and when the vendor can quit the job and not do it if they have to pay. I’m going to submit and see if Home Warranty will reimburse my money.

    One of the reasons that we bought the insurance is for the coverage of the bigger items such as an air-conditioning or heater unit. It could cost me $10,000, $15,000 if that went down which I’m supposed to pay. If somebody asks me they better talk to Home Warranty and get something in fine print that they’re going to pay because I wouldn’t trust them.

    About four years ago, I signed up with Home Warranty of America and the experience was easy and fantastic. I got a lower price at the time and they had different options. When I call them with regards to a claim they jump right on it. I've had my air conditioner go out three times in one year. They know by me telling them that I have COPD and I can't deal with the humidity, that I need to have somebody out that day or the very next morning every time. On my most recent claim, I was very impressed with what the tech did. While he was out here, I even signed up for my yearly maintenance with him. I wish they could drop their monthly rate a little bit, yet I highly recommend them to friends.
