When my A/C went out during the first hot week in May, I immediately filed a claim with HWA. I had no response all day, so called to check on it. Customer Service told me they would find and assign a technician who would be in touch. If no technician was assigned within 24 hours I would be free to find one on my own. Then, no follow up, no call, no email, nothing. So the next day I got my A/C repaired and submitted the bill against the claim I had opened. They denied the claim because repairs were not pre-approved. The Customer Service never mentioned the pre-approval process when explaining to me how this would work if they couldn't find me a technician. I wrote an appeal and never got an email response. Called to follow up and we told I had been notified of a manager who had been assigned and phone number to reach them. This was not true, again I received no email.
I know they have the correct email for me, because I did get one trying to get me to renew early. Tried calling the 888 number and extension provided for the manager and got only an non-setup generic voicemail box. I left a message, but doubt I will ever hear from them. Anytime you call it's clearly poorly trained phone bank staff and half the time when they say I will receive or have received an email, I don't. Don't waste your money!

They are like most warranty companies. They will do all they can NOT to pay for the repair. Customer service is HORRIBLE. Poor people working for a company that can't provide the service that you need. Do NOT buy it, definitely a waste of money and your time.

Home Warranty Of America charges ridiculous prices for their services and for their deductible. I was with them for around six years and when I tried to cancel they told me everything was set yet they charge my card again. I had to call them back and tell them that I had canceled, "Why did you charge my card?" They responded, "Sorry something went wrong" so the second time around, they said they would remove the charge but that never happened. DO NOT GIVE HWA YOUR BUSINESS!!!!

I have been with them for two years. 1st year was ok. 2021-current, terrible. The technicians they use are HORRIBLE and don't know what they are doing. I have been without air for TWO months. It's has been 90 degrees and higher. I have had a LOT of no shows, reassignment and those that just simply refuse the job. One company finally came out and every time he fix one thing another "issue" pops up. Very long story short, after waiting days in this heat for each part (4/5 parts), it still does not work. Since they can't figure it out, I'm told it's "probably " the thermostat. HWA would not cover it. Fine. $250 I would need.
They order the thermostat, he comes to put it in, it's the wrong one. More waiting in the heat. He tells me he can't find the thermostat he needs and they were not coming way out here for something that may not work. Called techs from Xcalibur for a second opinion because I never thought it was the thermostat and turns out it wasn't. The prior techs had gone into my unit, cut wires, misplaced wires and pretty much tore my unit up. Two different techs from two different companies told me this and provided pics and writeups in which I provided to HWA. Said it was the wiring and the control board. Now the boards are some of the parts that were ordered and put in but he said it sure does not look like it. Interesting.
So they reassigned me to Heveanly comfort, who canceled with them and was a no show. Reassigned AGAIN to Overflow Heating and cooling for today between 7-11 am. 1115, no show. I called and he advised me I was never on the schedule but he will see if he can get someone out here. I called HWA, who called the company, who said the guy did not check the schedule in time, therfore, they will not be working with us. So now guess what, reassigned again.
I called and left the case manager an nice Vm. I am fed up with this, they do not care about their nor do they pretend to care. I received not an ounce of empathy from CS nor the case manger. So here I am STILL without air. For 2 months and nothing is being done. I work from home and don't have the option of going in to the office and I am a diabetic and this heat is driving me insane. At this point either it needs to be replaced or send a check for/towards it since YOUR techs broke it.

I filed a claim 2 weeks ago, my AC unit went out. They do not seem to care that the temperature has been over 90 degrees. They have not given me a breakdown of what needs to be replaced or fixed. They sent me an invoice that I would have to pay $1675. When I called to asked how much they would be paying, the representative told me that information was internal. Excuse me???? She finally told me that they would be paying $388. When I inquired last week on my status, I was told that the parts were ordered. Today I am told they ordering them today (liars). Which means another week without air. How does a company treat their consumers as if they are animals??? My advice to anyone willing to read/listen…RUN. This is not the company you would want to chose as your home warranty provider!!!

Worst company EVER!!! They don't honor their agreements and pull up notes that are from every conversation you ever had trying to trip you up, so they can tell you that whatever repair you want isn't covered. Only have one guy working there, too. If he's busy, you won't get a return call. Don't use them. Throw your money out the window. It would be more satisfying.

This company is a call-center based sham. We signed up with them to be a provider of services. We did 15k+ in work and we have yet to see a single payment to us. Vendor/Provider support is non-existent. The only method of support is sending a message in their website. They then respond with a text messages. The responses often are not helpful, contain incorrect information, and are flat out rude. It doesn't matter if HWA issues you an authorization code to do the job - they won't always honor it.
We spent over 1k$ in parts for a job we were approved for. We completed the work at 10am. At 2pm of the same day they "re-assigned" the job to another provider. We have spent weeks trying to get support as their system will not allow us to invoice for the work we completed. We were assigned the job, we were given an authorization code. We did the approved work - and HWA skipped out on paying us. We now have almost a $3k loss on one job because HWA is a con and is not to be trusted.

Good afternoon everyone. Hope all are doing well. Just wanted to share my experience with HWA/Choice Warranty. They are utterly worthless. Must be nice, for them, to have a Warranty Contract with a neat little clause (that they do not tell you about) that lets THEM offer you very little money as a Buy Out rather than actually Repairing or Replacing anything. Their Warranty is not worth the Paper it is Printed On. I highly recommend staying away from HWA/Choice. I actually thought with a "Warranty" if something went wrong they would either Repair or Replace the defective Appliance. Apparently I (as well as NUMEROUS others) were mistaken. Instead they offer you a "Buy Out" for little to no money and you get to deal with it, paying for most (around 70% in my case) yourself.
The Dishwasher at our house failed, it will not turn on. Contacted HWA. They sent somebody out, which cost $75 (but I was aware of that). When "their contractor" tried to contact HWA to get Authorization to order parts, the phone system indicated that the authorization department was "Closed" due to Covid and it hung up on him. He called back and tried to go through regular Support but no go there either. That was a week ago last Wed. On Friday I get an Email from HWA indicating they decide that the Dishwasher should be Replaced, but rather than "them" getting it Replaced they wanted to Offer me a "Buy Out". I literally LAUGHED when I saw the "Offer", $246. I thought it was some kind of Joke, but guess the joke was on me because that was apparently the ONLY Option I had. The Offer screen had an option to be Contacted so I chose that thinking there had to be some other option.
Brittany ** was the Case Manager that was assigned. Brittany Emailed and I replied back that same day. Again, that was on "Friday". Had not heard anything until today, so I jumped into the Claim and Submitted a simple comment that I had not been contacted since my last email on Friday. Brittany did call me today, but (though I was pissed and definitely not in a good mood at that point) was pretty much worthless other than telling me that the "Buy Out" was a Option that was in the Contract and the amount they indicated was the amount. That the "Buy Out" was not meant to purchase a Replacement, or apparently even cover the installation, of a Replacement Appliance.
What the heck good is a "Warranty" if it does not cover the Items? And not sure why they even offer "Request Contact" on the Offer Page, when they do nothing but "explain" that is what their Contract Says and that is that. The Previous Owners really should have saved their money and stayed away from HWA/Choice.
I am sending this to mainly let you know to avoid HWA/Choice like the Plague, they got their money and now just don't care about the actual customer, and find a more reputable Warranty Company. As for the "fine print", apparently THEY have the right to "Buy Out" rather than fixing anything for pretty much nowhere even close to what it will cost to fix the problem. Again, what good is a Warranty that pretty much does not "cover" anything.

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!! First off, every time I call in to address issues with my claim (at least 15 times on one claim) I am transferred 5-9 times before getting to the proper department. I am NOT EXAGGERATING. Don’t use this company or you will live to regret it! So, I filed a claim a over a month and a half ago (currently 95 degrees in Texas) and when the AC tech told me the part was on back order from the manufacturer and would possibly not be available for over a month HWA refused to do anything to try and resolve the issue, even though I am disabled and heat will cause me to have migraines so bad I end up in the ER crying and throwing up.
A manager showed not an ounce of sympathy for the situation and refused to replace the unit, as he told me they do not replace units but will just keep replacing parts as they fail. He also said they would do nothing to try and address or help resolve the back order issue. He insinuated to me that the process is intentionally set up to push you to go and repair your unit yourself, because most will not wait a month or two to have units repaired. How scandalous! I have never felt so disregarded and disrespected in my life.
I took it into my own hands and after hours on the phone finally found the part at a supplier. AC Tech installs and determines there are other parts that are also damaged and needing replacement, as it is a complex smart system requiring you go through steps to trace back the specific problem because HWA refuses to replace all of them at once. HWA then fires this technician, as if they hadn’t already delayed my repairs enough, and hired another company. Now I am stuck waiting for this company to make an appointment. HWA is owned by Direct Energy who also owns First Choice Power, AWHR, Airtron Heating & Air, WTU Retail Energy, and CPL Retail Energy.

I recently put in a claim in May 2022 for a repair for my tub water faucet. It took a week and a half for the claim to finally get picked up only for the technician not to show up due to not seeing the work order. I follow up the following day with CS to get in contact with the contractor who immediately came out. The contractor only has an hour to dedicate to the project due to I guess work order time allotted. It takes the verification department almost that amount of time to review the work order only to ask the contractor to "rebuild" whatever the issue was vs replacing the issue.
So now I to wait until the contractor can find parts to "rebuild" the issue while I have already had to go almost 2 weeks without water. To add insult to this entire situation, I was required to still pay the trade fee of $100 without any service being completed. When the contractor returns, I will be required to a $45 Gas Fee which is ridiculous while I continue to not have any hot water. Do not chose HWA, it's a complete rip-off.

I was a huge fan of Home Warranty of America for years. They generally covered what I expected them to with fairly minimal hassle. Sometime last year things changed. The good service providers stopped working with them telling me they weren’t getting paid and I started getting the run around. On one claim it took over three months to get my washer fixed. Now I’ve been without the main burner on my cooktop for over a month and their story changes every time I call. It’s not worth the time, hassle, or money to work with them anymore.

I purchased a home warranty from Home Warranty of America (HWA) for the 3rd time. Previous years were ok. This year, when I had a leak under the kitchen sink that needed fixing, they said they couldn't find a plumber in my city, even though I live in a fairly large city with lots of plumbers available. So I had to go find one myself and they said they would reimburse me. I found one, had the work done, submitted the invoice that had some itemized things on it. HWA said it wasn't acceptable. I had to go back to the plumber and request a completely itemized document. I went to the plumber and the plumber said his office could send the estimate which is completely itemized but they don't send itemized invoices.
Today I got an email from HWA stating that they want a "diagnosis" as to why the parts needed replacement. This feels very much like they are looking for an excuse to not pay. This is infuriating. I paid $700 for a year's coverage. Then I had to pay $75 for the service call because it's not covered. Then I had to pay over $600 for the plumbing repair that HWA said it would reimburse but is stalling and not wanting to reimburse. I will not purchase from this company again.

On my first two claims (microwave and washer), the company did a decent job of resolving my issues in a reasonable amount of time, although it did take several days to get a buy-out check. On my third claim, a refrigerator, it took 6 days to get a technician/repairman out to look at it. I had to make several phone calls to follow up on what their decision would be (repair or replace).
The claim manager responsible for my claim called me about 2 weeks after the repairman submitted his findings. She told me that she would have a decision to me by email by the end of the day. It's been 6 more days and I have yet to get a response from her. I have made several calls to talk to someone about my claim (customer service said they do not have capability to forward call to claims manager). I have sent 4 emails to Ms. **, claims manager, since her call to me, with no response yet. I have been without a refrigerator for one day short of 4 weeks so far. I do NOT recommend this company.

I am not sure what happened, but we were extremely happy with the coverage until last year. We had our refrigerator break down 3 times in the last 4 months. The last claim took 8 weeks and 6 of those weeks were waiting for HWA to approve the repair. I am currently on 80 hours waiting for a manager to call me after a "in the next 24 hours" promise. I am having to call EVERY day to get anything done! Save time and money and go anywhere else to get your home warranty... HWA has by far the WORST customer services I have EVER dealt with.

I am writing because of the dreadful service I have received and my inability to speak with someone that can address this issue. I was unable to find an email address or chat with a representative via IM. As an FYI, I was on hold or explained my issue for a combined hour & a half. I was transferred 8 times, hung up on twice, and given the same phone number to call (312-454-3330) twice. I was also told by a representative that they would take my phone number and that a supervisor would call me back in 30 - 45 minutes. This happened on 4/14 around 1 PM. It is now, 4/17 at 3:25 PM and I have not received a call back.
Below is a timeline of my interactions with HWA and what has/has not yet happened today. I am expecting a full review and reimbursement to address these issues by 5/15/2022. 3/15 - Claim submitted on an issue with our sump pump. 3/28 - Basement floods due to a significant delay in providing us a service provider & the ability of the service provider to come out. 3/29 - The service provider (Powerhouse Plumbers LLC) comes out to fix the sump pump. No approval from HWA has been received yet. I paid $650 out of pocket to get the sump pump fixed. I have filed the reimbursement form to HWA but have not received reimbursement to date. We were instructed to file a home insurance claim to address the water damage. The claim was filed with our insurance company and am waiting on final authorization.
4/9 - Carpet is cleaned & all water damage has been addressed. 4/13 - Basement floods again. 4/14 - The original service provider (Powerhouse Plumbers LLC) returns to fix the sump pump. The sump pump was not installed correctly. The water flowing into the sump pump knocked the float off. The remedy was to change the position of the sump pump so that the water flowing in hits the pipe. The estimate to address the water damage is slightly over $3K.
That brings us to my issue at hand. Due to the tardiness & limited experience of the service provider that HWA picked we have had two floods in our basement. I am requesting that HWA reimburse us for the damage done to our basement, water removal & the time spent to address this issue. The first flood incurred expenses of $4,000 and the second flood has incurred expenses of $3,000 to date but there is work that has not yet been quoted or completed. This is the worst service I have ever experienced!!!! I am hoping that I can reach an agreement with HWA to solve these issues without litigation.
This was the complaint sent on 4/17. I did not receive a response to this letter. It is now 4/27. Here is what else has happened to date. 4/25 - our basement flooded again. Sump pump still not working. 4/27 – Powerhouse Plumbers came out again. During the visit it was determined that the pump installed was not large enough (a new one was installed) & that other steps to properly install the sump pump were not completed. The technician also mentioned that given the size of our house a back-up sump pump is CRITICAL. This was not mentioned the first time the technician came out.
4/27 – I just called HWA. I told them my issue twice. During this call I informed them of the letter sent on 4/17 and what has happened to date. Both representatives were apologetic and each transferred me or gave me a number to call to address this issue. By the 4th person, I was told that our original $650 claim was denied as only the floater needed to be replaced. They also sent me an email stating that the back-up and battery sump pump system was not covered. The $650 was for the regular sump pump. That should be covered. I have requested multiple times to talk with a supervisor to address this issue. Yet, no one would or could transfer me to a supervisor.
This is the worst service I have ever received. Why is it impossible to talk to someone & get clarity on what would/would not be covered. Had I went out on my own to get a plumber & repair the sump pump it would have been cheaper and my basement would not have flooded 3 times. Not only do they not want to make this right but they don’t want to take the time to understand where their internal processes broke down. The only way to make this right is to reimburse the $650 (sump pump), reimburse our monthly warranty fee for the year ($648), pay for the critical back-up system ($1,750) and pay a portion of the amount required to get our basement back in order ($1,500). This is a total reimbursement of $4,548. Until this issue is resolved I will go on a social media campaign to tell everyone how horrible this company is. I will be expecting a prompt response. Please respond to this letter.

I just had the worst customer service experience of my life with Home Warranty of America. I was misled about how the service worked and encouraged to take an action that - by design (?) - put me in breach of contract. I called customer service to set things straight and was passed around to 2-3 reps each time I called. I was promised call backs from "Supervisors" on 4 different occasions. And it wasn't until my 9th call on my 4th day of follow up that I spoke to someone with the authority to offer me 1/6th of the coverage I was approved for originally. Do Not work with them. And Do Not let realtors contract with them on your behalf. If I could give them 0-stars, I would.

At first, they sent their vendor came to my house and their vendor said my water heater could not be fix and need to be replaced because the part is not existing any more, after that this company told us "they will order the part"; as a result, I was waiting for 2 weeks and then I did not received the parts. Moreover, I gave them a call and they told me "the part is not manufactured and their vendor will come fix for us, but they need to break down from their vendor", and I was waiting for another a week, and no response from them. I was very upset and I asked them to give the option reimbursement so I looked for the vendor by myself and then the technician came and they said the same thing as their technician said; moreover, I sent all the information (such as breakdown parts and labor cost of installation) to this company.
When I call them, they will ask me more information even though I sent all diagnosis and invoice to them; also, I let them talk to my technician so that my vendor are able to provide whatever information which they needed. After this conversation, I waited for them 3 days and no response from them. Every time I asked them "what is my case status?", they always say they need more information (we gave all information that we talk and send to them already).

Noticed carpet by the shower was drenched with water and walls have molds. Called and filed a claim in November of 2021. Phone support is terrible. Was saying issue is not covered without even coming to check. Plumbing is covered but not shower. January 2022, tech came, looked at the area. Did nothing. Recommended to make a hole on the wall so he could inspect where the leak is coming from but he doesn't do that. He's a plumber. So we had to get a different guy for that job. Got it done with another guy. The guy was confused, why are we making a hole here when there's no pipes here? But he did as instructed. The tech came back, checked, said that there are no pipes (duh) and the leak is probably coming from the drip pan. So they left 2 big fans in the bathroom to dry off the carpet. We have a hole in the wall. And nothing happened for about 2-3 weeks.
February 2022, StillWater insurance took over. And they also suck and very sarcastic. "I can hear your frustration (over the phone)." "Yes! I have two big fans in the bathroom for weeks, we couldn't use the bathroom and nothing's being done!". Kept calling from time to time to follow up, old lady says she will call back but never did. Now it is March 2022, called them again. Same old lady from StillWater that handles the issue, "Oh, I just finished your report today. The adjuster that came out says the issue might be coming from the shower pan which we Do Not cover." "There was a tech that came to the house today?" "I don't know, was there?" "I wasn't home, I don't know." "Well, I was not at your house either. I'm just looking at my reports here." (profanity, bleep bleep bleep)
You told me that the adjuster told you blah blah blah so I just asked if there was a tech that came to the house and that was your sarcastic answer. And now you took over the (profanity, bleep bleep) issue from Home Warranty because nothing was getting done and you also took forever and now you're saying that you don't cover it. Now from November 2021, it's already March, we still have a hole on the wall, a broken shower that we cannot use and still have to find a repair guy to fix it.

This company is horrible. They should be investigated as Home Warranties are a SCAM. It is impossible to get anything fixed using a warranty. I placed a claim, and two weeks later when the technician was supposed to show, they didn't. I found out the claim was never placed and the technician never got the order. Spent hours on the phone only to be disconnected, transferred and disconnected and hung up on. All they say when you do speak to someone is, "I am sorry," but nothing ever is accomplished. I am still trying to get my issue fixed. HORRIBLE, Real estate agents should be ashamed for pushing these worthless Home Warranties as they are worthless!!

When we bought 2 warranties (One each for 2 condos we own) we were promised $50 Cash Cards for each policy. About 6 months later and 4 contacts with them we have yet to receive the Cash Cards.

They will either place you on hold forever or hang up on you. 1 set me an appointment for 2 days back to back with 2 different companies, missed work 2 days in a row, the 2nd appointment was a no show, called appliance co directly with never answers phone just tells you to leave a message and someone will call you back, takes almost an hour to get the HWA representative to escalate the situation & their response is that someone will call are you back from that escalations department & no one does. I asked for the cancellation Dept & not 1 agent in 5 calls said they can transfer me. So I called back again for the 6th time & someone tells me they don’t have a cancellation department that she could take my name number and have someone return my call once again.
I don’t know where they get these people to work for them or why HWA chooses these horrible companies that either do not show up, or only fix appliance temporarily! I would never recommend HWA to anyone!! I don’t know where they get their five stars from. They probably write their own reviews while working from home! This company is absolute **!!

They DON'T have you covered. Don't do it. They increase your plan every year by at least $50-100. They lie and then when you ask for a supervisor they transfer you to music or hang up on you. On MY contract (the Marquise Plan, the most expensive one) it says CLEARLY states toilet bowls, tanks and mechanisms are covered. Flat out. Just "COVERED". What it doesn't say is "Unless it's broken". Like that game where you say "...in bed..." after everything someone says. But this time, you read your HWA contract and say "Unless it's broken" everywhere it says covered. Not staying with a dishonest company like this anymore. My advice is run away.

I have tried to file a claim for our shower valve, a covered component under our contract, no longer functioning correctly. The home warranty requires the service fee to be paid prior to sending anyone out which I have tried multiple times with no success. I have tried cards from multiple banks both on the phone and over their online payment portal with no success. The phone representatives say it must be the bank even though I tell them I have used multiple cards from various banks with no success, it’s obviously their payment portal. Feels like a way for them to avoid taking the claim as when I request for alternatives or speak with a supervisor I am denied any additional solutions.

Good morning, Justin. I apologize you are experiencing problems making a payment for your claim. We certainly understand your concern and frustration when trying to file a claim.

We have had HWA for 2 years as it was recommended through our real-estate agent. We had a simple service call that went okay for a toilet issue and later for a pilot light that would not stay lit on our water heater. The real fun with this company begins when something needs to be replaced. Our water heater had a small leak, we placed a service request and a contractor came out who said the unit needed to be replaced. That was the last week of November. The leak worsened to where we needed to turn off the unit entirely about 2 weeks later. Every time we called to follow-up, they would tell us that the paperwork had not been approved and to wait 3-5 more business days. After not having hot water for 2.5 weeks (through Christmas and New Years), we finally called an outside company who came out the same day to give us an estimate and then completed the work the next day.
We submitted the documents the next day for reimbursement and in less than 12 hours got a response that there is not a claim for a water heater. Somehow the claim was opened as a plumbing issue and not a water heater issue but the claim to replace the water heater was approved. Confused? Me too. I have spent the last 2 weeks calling this company trying to get the type of claim updated to no avail. Each time I am told to call back in 3-5 business days to see if it has been updated. It has now been 7 weeks since we initially opened a claim about the hot water heater and there does not seem to be an end in sight about getting this resolved. I would highly recommend that others take the $50 per month that they would pay for this coverage and put it into a savings account instead to pay for repairs as they come up.

We purchased an older home in 2020 and we utilized our HWA plan quite a bit as things began to break down. In 2020 - 2021 our experience with HWA was really great. They were responsive and accountable. We had no complaints. We even had an additional bit of coverage for a pool and spa. When it came time to renew we did, and we specifically asked that the pool/spa be included again. We were assured they were. When we resumed trying to troubleshoot an issue with the pool heater, started from the previous year, we were told it was no longer covered and we no longer had the pool/spa coverage. We got nowhere with them regarding our coverage.
Fast forward to January 1, 2022. Our water heater broke. Leak in the master - a mess for sure. During this past week we have been subjected to freezing temps in Houston. We have not had hot water since January 1. Today is January 8. We got the plumber out on Monday and HWA said they needed to review his estimate and they would get back to us w/in 1 - 2 working days. By Wednesday we still had not heard back. We called HWA to escalate. It is now Saturday - a full week later - and we have yet to hear from HWA about how much they are willing to pay for a new water heater.
The plumber and we decided to move forward with a tankless water heater, and we will apply whatever we get from HWA toward that. We found a way to pay for it ourselves although it has set us back, and HWA is still giving us the silent treatment. We discovered they were bought out by AIG I believe - and it seems that has caused their service and even their care for their customers to disappear. No hot water for a full week. During January. With temps dipping below 32*. Find another company to work with. They have lost their mojo. They are not the company they once were. Who knows when we will see any reimbursement for our water heater.

How to tell. I still don't know how this warranty company is working. Now I'm waiting for the part (blower fan) for my HVAC repair, but nothing happened for last over two weeks since the service provider visited. OMG, this is winter so it's really tough to live with no heating. First, I gave a call to the service provider. They said ... they are waiting for the part, but don't know what is the status and even don't have a way to check the current status.
Then, they said I need to contact HWA. So, I gave a call to HWA. Said ... my part has been shipped so I could get it soon. Yes~ So, I asked its tracking number and she said she just sent an email to me for it. But ... there was no email and no package to me. So, I gave a call to HWA after 4 days. Said ... it needs to be approved by the other department of HWA but she doesn't have a contact to the department. She said this, indeed, haha. Then, she said, "So ... you need to wait a couple of weeks more or contact the service provider," then she tried to hang up the call. Haha. So, I complained about all this nonsense, of course. Then, she said, she will make the service provider to check the current status and then give a call to me in today (that day). Then, again nothing happened, of course.
Today I gave a call to HWA again. Said ... nothing happened for the order of the part at all for now on. Haha, how do every operators tell a different story? She said, it will take 3-4 days to be approved and then delivered at least. How I know whether the representative did something real for my claim. But, one sure thing I could know is, the part won't be delivered even this week for sure. This is my story for now on with HWA. I shouldn't count on this warranty company.

I was sold a home warranty through the purchase of my home in 2019. I have had nothing but problems and challenges with Home Warranty of America. When you file a claim online you're almost always denied. When I call to speak to a representative I am on hold at least 20 minutes only for a person to answer that doesn't speak English very well. Most recently, I tried to file a claim for my HVAC system that was recently installed through another claim in May of this year. Now the heat pump is not working, there is an electrical issue with it. Home Warranty of America is telling me to call the Manufacturer. The Manufacturer only covers the costs of the part NOT LABOR. HWA's claims are now managed by AIG! So, I have been volleyed from representative to representative with no resolve. I have no heat in my home going on over 24 hours and it looks like I will not have any until after the weekend if then! It's winter here!
I already paid $125 directly to the company that installed the HVAC unit and air handler trying to expedite the repair process. HWA will not pay their labor to fix my HVAC unit! I was told when the manufacturer's warranty expires then they will pay the labor for it to be fixed!! What good is it paying a home warranty for? The unit was installed by a HWA vendor! Now that they have merged with AIG for the handling of their claims the service has gotten 100x worst. Do not buy anything from Home Warranty of America or AIG! I don't care if they're selling cold water in hell! Stay away! All they do is collect your premiums and offer little in return. My home will now be cold for however long until I either pay for the labor which is upwards of an additional $250 in addition to the $125 that I have already paid. I will be reaching out to a lawyer on Monday to see what my rights are and to possibly sue for my money back!

I am a senior. My washing machine stopped working in late October. The first week in November I called for help through my platinum plan with HWA. Was referred to a service provider who said they would be out on November 5th. Later got a call that the part they ordered was not in so they would not be out. (How could they order a part when no one had seen the washer?). Finally got notified the part was in and the service guy would be there on the 18th. Had to take off from work from 1 - 6 pm. Guy showed up at 4. No part. He just looked at the washer and said it would be a total rebuild. As of today, other than the service provider texting me that the parts were not in, no communication from HWA. Today I called. Parts on back order.
I am 66 years old. Have to go to a laundromat in the dark in a dangerous city after work. This is NOT what I paid HWA to keep me and my appliances safe. Still no resolution after 30 minutes today with HWA. They say to wait another 3 to 5 days for a call. So now it is more than a month since I can wash anything. I can only warn others NOT TO USE HWA.

Home Warranty of America works. When I call, they follow up and they get things done. But I had a horrible experience with them. We had some trouble with our dishwasher and we had the guy come out. He could've fixed it HWA said they were gonna give me a new dishwasher. This was last November and the issue took through all the holidays. It was just one thing after another.
Then, I had somebody lie to me. They said they were supposed to bring the dishwasher December 14th. They didn't bring it on the 14th. I was busy trying to get ready to go to Arizona for a few days and I just thought, “They're probably really overloaded right now. They'll probably bring it tomorrow.” They didn't and then we left, and then we got back. And then it was the holiday week before the 1st.
I spent three hours on the phone one day because HWA wouldn't straighten the mess out. It should not have been my mess to clean up. Some instructions that Whirlpool got that your company needed to fix, the instructions were wrong. So, it was on hold but HWA didn't figure that out. They made me do it. I had five hours on the phone doing that, ‘cause one person would say, “Oh, someone over here is supposed to take care of that.” So, I would wait for them. Then, “Oh, no. It's over there.” And I kept getting shuffled around. The only reason why I went back to them was because they gave me a lot of money off. But it still riles me to think about what happened.

One thing that's been frustrating is I had to get my AC unit repaired a couple of times. The first time I got it repaired, the first company that HWA sent out didn't work on my unit, which was fine. They sent out another company. But then the second time I got it repaired, I let them know that their primary pick didn't work on my unit. They said because it was their preferred company, they had to send them out first regardless and hear from them that they didn't work on my unit, which was frustrating since it was just a couple of months prior that we'd been through that. It was a waste of my time as I had to miss work and be home when I knew they couldn't work on my unit. Then they sent the other company again. That was a bummer.

I'll start by saying that all HWA representative that I've spoke with have been pleasant and able to perform their jobs. I created a claim regarding my broken furnace (covered per contract). HWA issued a contractor on the same day via email. The contractor refused to work with HWA due to past disputes over payouts. I reported this to HWA. HWA said they would send a new contractor and gave the option to find my own contractor and be reimbursed. According to my written contract: HWA "has the sole and absolute right to select the Authorized Repair Technician to perform Service." Obviously I did not proceed to find my own contractor due to this verbiage. I've been waiting 10 days to be issued another contractor.
In this time, I called HWA 6 times requesting an update with only responses telling me "to wait". I should be issued a contractor within 48 hours per my contract. Presently, I live in a cold house in Buffalo, NY with concerns of freezing water pipes. This is not a failure of the employees but rather a failure of the HWA response system. I currently am waiting for a call from a HWA supervisor to discuss my claim, this call should come in 4-6 hours per my last discussion with a HWA rep. The ball is in HWA's court to see whether or not they can rectify my experience.

I had a leaky pipe and the whole claim process went pretty terribly. The claim was originally put in on September 28th or 29th and no one has come by. I know they have two plumbing contractors that they work with here and I asked to not have it assigned to one of those contractors. They told me I don't get a choice and they assigned it to the contractor I asked not to be assigned.
The contractor was rather prompt at responding through text messages to schedule but they never really showed up. They kept saying they ran into a problem and that they would be running late. They would reschedule to a different day and that went on for about two and a half weeks. I called HWA and had it assigned to somebody else. But prior to that, after about a week and a half, I had called HWA to have it assigned to the other people. They told me they couldn't reassign it and they called the same contractor up. The contractor said they would be right out the next day and still never showed up.
At this point, I've taken between six and eight hours off work to meet these people who never showed up and it was given to me to find a contractor. I should be reimbursed for it. I've gone with the other people who I know they contract with and scheduled with them. If they had allowed me to choose the contractor at the very beginning, it would have only been a two-week wait. But now, it’s been a month and a half.

Home Warranty of America has gone downhill since they were taken over by AIG. Being that I have multiple accounts with them, they are very confused when I call because they go by a phone number rather than an address. 80% of the time, they're putting in the claim for the wrong address. They have also outsourced most of their stuff to overseas so there's an English translation issue. There's a communication problem because they're not fully trained in spelling in English the way they should be. Also, their software system for the last two years has been an issue, so they need to fix their infrastructure for it.

I just bought my house and moved in. I got Home Warranty of America with my closing, and it's good. I've been very happy with getting my washing machine as well as my refrigerator fixed. However, my gas lines needed to be replaced, and they didn't cover it. They should be little more definitive about what they cover and what they don't. The listing said plumbing and electrical, but the gas line was part of the plumbing for the water heater.

Filed a claim with Home Warranty of America for a microwave repair on 8/21/21. The soonest available appointment was approximately 3 weeks away. At that time, the technician did come out and said he needed to order a part, a process which took another three weeks. When the technician came back out he said he could not take down the microwave that it was against their rules (something which I have since been told by representatives at Home Warranty of America is false). They informed me that if we took it down ourselves, they would come back out to install the part and informed me at that time that they would reinstall the microwave.
Three weeks later they did come out to reinstall the part but when they went to reinstall the microwave they said they could not. They said it was “fixed” but I couldn’t test it as it wasn’t reinstalled. I had to get someone to reinstall it for me, more expense. When I did so, come to find out, it is not fixed. Not only did they not fix the original problem, they have caused more. When I called to let them know that it was not fixed, they said that since it was more than 30 days past the original claim date of August 21st they would have to charge me an additional claim fee for something that was never fixed in the first place. Mind you that it was not more than 30 days since they “supposedly” fixed the microwave, it was only more than 30 days from the original claim date.
They took my original $75.00 claim fee and did not resolve the problem. They then tried to charge me another $75.00 for a new claim. They rested on “their policy” was it was 30 days from the original claim date, not when the repair actually happened. I asked the Customer Service Supervisor “Linda” to just think logically, and ask herself if that made any sense. She said, "That’s the policy you signed." When a policy is illogical, you change the policy. She refused to give me numbers and contact information for their corporate offices. This company just writes out into their contracts to avoid doing what is right. They will take your ~$600/year happily as long as nothing goes wrong, but if it does, then they will weasel out of it.

My experience has been fairly pleasant. I have not had to submit any claims yet, but the renewal of my policy was very smooth.

If my refrigerator goes, I can submit a claim and get help with the expenses related to that refrigerator. Go for Home Warranty of America. It's definitely worth protecting your home.

Home Warranty of America's customer service has been good so far. Sometimes, the experience is not that proficient. We would want them to provide more details as to what they are doing. There have been situations when we thought they are not providing as much information. When you really begin, you'll see that something was not brought to our attention. I really felt that they shouldn't take us for granted. No assumptions and things like that should happen. When you try to get into more details, that's when they kind of say that they are not aware of. It's all about the level of expertise and work especially when we know that the claim is for this reason. We are expecting someone in that area to be able to also explain what they are doing, why it's being done, and how we can avoid certain things. I would also like to know what really happened and I feel like, as a customer, I have the right to know that.
I really expect more from HWA in the manner that maybe they can look into possibilities of how they could approach and convince customers when they are in the customer’s area. They can look into more on how they could better serve the customer when they are in their client area. They should be prepared with all these things, and not just coming and seeing. It could be like a list of things that could come up from a customer, apart from what they're serving. Their people when they're serving should at least have an idea as to the things that the customer would be looking. Apart from them answering to what went wrong in the system, I would like to know other things as to if something broke, how is this gonna impact me and if I have to install something else.
In one of my experiences this year, I was like, “Do I have to go ask someone else?” It ended up being that I had to research, go over, and see what people are talking about when something goes wrong to see “What do you do?” I still appreciated the person who came. The next time, when he came, he had answers for those but not really to that extent. It involved more of research from our end.

My experience has been up and down, especially since the hurricane. It has been harder to get some of those claims done because service providers have been busy doing other things.

But Home Warranty of America only had three people in the area that did that type of work for that type of dryer. So it takes forever to get fixed. And some of those people that were underneath the warranty weren't very responsive, which has been frustrating. If HWA had a bunch of people that do that work, then it shouldn't be much of an issue. But with my brand of dryer that I had, they only had so many people who worked on it. And we had problems with the parts and finding those. So if they had 20 people that did that type of work, it would be much easier. Things would have moved much quicker.

Doing claims to Home Warranty of America is super frustrating. We've had several claims since we moved into this new house, and it takes a lot of jumping through hoops and making calls for the company, and to the company, to get them to approve a provider. We live out in the country, so we have a well. Home Warranty would not cover it because we would have to send the motor to get like a diagnosis to see why the well pump motor died. But we'd have to pay it out of pocket and that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to cover the claim. To me, it was a bunch of baloney. It should have been covered.
When we had to have people come up for the well, there's not a lot of providers in our area because it's a rural area. So, anytime we have to make a claim, we have to kind of do our own legwork to find a provider, and then call home warranty multiple times to get them to approve it. It's been very frustrating anytime we've had claims made or denied. Other than that, I haven't had any problem with the people who have come in the house. They've been good.
Every time we have a claim denied or have to go through so many hoops to reclaim, I think, “Okay I'm going to change our home warranty.” But then life happens and we get busy. I forget about it until another claim situation happens. But unfortunately, each time has been very frustrating. I really wish they would have covered us getting a new well pump because that was a pretty penny. Overall, it takes a lot of legwork to get a claim approved and Home Warranty doesn't cover all claims all the time. Then you're out-of-pocket for whatever appliance or issue you're having.

We have a certain kind of air conditioner that they cannot find anybody to work on it. Every time we kept getting somebody out to the house, they kept saying, “Oh, we can't do that. We can't do that.” Then, we got one guy who was so busy. Going through the home warranty is a process. He just didn't have time to deal with it, so he just said, “I'm sorry, I have too many clients right now. I don't have time.” We didn't get the furnace until October. So, it was through the summer that we didn't have an air conditioner. Then, we found somebody that could do it. They went through the process of getting everything approved, they talked to the adjusters and in the end, we never got paid back any of it. We still keep it because it's peace of mind for us.
I talked to several people. My husband did too. We just got to run around with it, even though they approved it. Otherwise, everything else has been fine.

My original refrigerator came with an ice maker. But when I had to get a new one, Home Warranty of America didn't hook it up. I had to pay out-of-pocket with that but that was cool. Back in September, I got to put a claim in from my washing machine and for whatever reason, Home Warranty of America put in two claims and I got two different people contacting me. I didn't know who was who. Somebody called me and I was confused. The guy came out, looked at the washing machine, and said it was repairable. But then, Anderson Appliances told Home Warranty of America that they couldn't fix that washing machine.
So, I was calling Home Warranty of America and I knew stuff was backed up, which I understand, but every time I called, I got the same questions and was told to wait. They asked me stuff that they should already see in the system. Finally, somebody left an email saying to go to look on lowes.com to try to get another washing machine. But she had left a message a few days ago, on the 20th, which was almost a whole month. I wasn't saying they had to give me a washing machine immediately. I was just saying that they should let me know something. I pay my $100 and I didn't know what was going on.
I told them this is my last month dealing with them and I'm already looking for somebody else to have as my warranty people. They don't do stuff right and I'm not about to deal with them. But I was surprised because I had them for three years and I haven't had problems. Everything was always smooth and easy. Before, you would pay for somebody to come out.

Home Warranty of America recently got purchased, so the whole process has changed and has become very difficult to manage. In the past, I would call in a service appointment, they scheduled an appointment, the person would show up, I’d write them a check, and it would be done. This time, I had to pay upfront, which was fine. But for three days, they said my payment wasn't processed. Then they found out, when they got it processed, that they didn't have any people. And they were going to try to let me do it on my own. If I called someone, it would have been easier. But because I made the claim online on a weekend, for some reason, it didn't get taken care of. Then they found someone but didn't tell me until the person called me back. And then I finally got someone four and a half days later.
So I'm very frustrated with their process and their service. Everyone wanted to help but no one could help. They all kept passing around and I was on hold for over two hours, at one point, and still got nothing done. Their customer service needs work. All in all, the idea of using the warranty is great and my last problem had been fixed. It just took them way too long the last time and it was too hard to get the thing done.

And twice now that we have entered a claim online, it rejects it and we always have to call. When we call, it goes through and they get it solved.

For the first few years, our experience was very good, when it was a small company. Some of the contractors are really good, and some of them are okay. But since I don't know how many people have bought Home Warranty of America out, the service has become less and less. I'm considering not doing it next year, unless there is better service. We live in Chicago where it can go to 10 below zero, and we have a no heat call, it could take a day before someone gets out here and two or three days for them to get the part. Where years ago, they would have that done in a day or at the latest, the following day. So I'm unhappy with the service.
I talked to a rep this year before I signed on again. What I told the rep was, for example, on heating and air conditioning, out of their service providers, I found one that was good. I use that person to do our yearly maintenance which is not part of the warranty. When I call in, if I have a no-heat, I couldn't even ask for that person. HWA just sends me out whoever. Even though that person is still on their vendor list, knows my house and our furnaces, I couldn't ask for them. They always allowed that before. I would say, “Okay, give me J&M Heating and Cooling." But this last winter, they said, “No, you have to take whoever comes up,” which is terrible. Why send someone new out here who doesn't even know the house?

I have had HWA for 3 years. They are fire for plumbing or electrical problems, household appliances are an entirely different matter. My microwave stopped working last Sunday. On Monday I entered a clam online. By Thursday I had not heard from the service provider so I called the service provider using the contact information provided by HWA. The number was disconnected. After some google searching it appeared that the service provider was out of business so I called HWA.
HWA CSR found another vendor and scheduled service for Monday, a week after my original claim. When the day of the appointment arrived, the vendor called to confirm an appointment for my dishwasher. I explained it was a microwave, so the vendor cancelled. I called HWA and attempted to escalate my complaint since I’d been working on it for a week. The CSR initially refused to escalate and made an appointment for Tuesday, 8 days after the initial claim. I asked to speak with a supervisor again and the call was disconnected, I called back a second time and was hung up on after a lengthy mute. I’m currently on my third call in.
What I would like to know is: Why HWA routes claims to companies that are not responsive or out of business? Why is there no offer of relief if the CSR makes a mistake that causes an appointment to be missed? Why is it okay to lose contact with someone who attempted to escalate for an hour and not call back? I suspect I know the answer, it’s because they don’t care about my subscription I’m just one of many hundreds of thousands or millions of customers. Having to beg to have my complaint escalated is really disappointing and I look forward to not doing business with them.

We found out after calling the provider that they no longer work for HWA. I told HWA that they should update their directory. Other than that, the techs were kind and efficient.

I had a plumbing issue. Home Warranty of America sent someone to repair it. I had a clog in one of my drains that the tech had to rod out. The first tech was not right. HWA had to send somebody out to redo what that one said he did correctly the first time, but it wasn't. But the warranty is good for me. I'm not gonna come out of my pocket with a major repair and that’s good.

The claim process was bad on two occasions. One was a water heater claim. HWA sent out a person and told me that they couldn't cover it because the device was still functioning. On the second claim, they sent out a contractor and he took a picture of the faucet. The tech told me that they wouldn't cover that because it was on the outside of my house and charged me 100 bucks.
If the guidelines are known and they know that they're not going to cover something, why schedule somebody so we can just give them $100? It's insensitive on their end. They want something to be completely broken before they step in and that's not right. But that's what's in the guide and if that's what's in the guide, then they should let the customer know that.

I called the number, and Home Warranty of America asked me the specifics. If it was the plumbing, they would give me a recommended plumber, or if it was AC, they would give me another name. I called to make the appointment and schedule. I've had somebody come in and fix the refrigerator. And somebody come in and fixed the fan in the outdoor air conditioning unit itself. We never know, with the equipment that we buy in the house, how good it really is. But just in case there will be issues, I would be able to modestly mitigate them.

I had a claim for the garbage disposal and a technician came and fixed it. He took over a month to fix it and then, after he replaced it, he left the pipe loose and it was open. All the dirty water was going through the cabinet and I didn't find out right away. I called HWA and they said that they would have the contractors come over. The tech never showed up and we just left it like that. But our biggest problem now is the hot water that we don't have. I put in a claim for the hot water tank a month ago and it isn't resolved yet. My husband and I have been calling every day and they tell us they cannot find a technician in my area. It seems pretty weird because I live in a capital city. We feel so neglected. I understand that sometimes people cannot come right away but this matter has been taking forever.

I had a lot of problems with Home Warranty of America - with my washer, dishwasher, and the same problem is happening with my toilet again. But I just haven't had the fire anymore to deal with HWA, and I'm stuck. I'm still paying them. On several occasions, they said somebody would call me, but they never did. And when I asked for a supervisor, I couldn't get one.
Recently the water was backing up in the basement, so the sewer line was stopped up. Later on, I found out that it was cracked. The contractor put a new outside line in. The last situation with it is I have problem again in my basement, and through HWA, an agent came out. It was because my toilet was running. When he came out, he assessed the situation and charged me $100 but never came back. I emphasized that HWA need to let that guy go because he didn't even send them a report and I constantly talked to HWA about that company and they refused.
HWA sent out two other agents. And my last issue is that one of the agents came out and checked it, and he checked the outside. He told me that there was a crack in my main line. That was after they had repaired the first time, which I had coverage on it through Direct Energy. I called Direct Energy about the problem and they said the guarantee had been sent to HWA. So, I called them month after month. But they constantly told me that they couldn't get anybody. I gave them three agents. And today, they haven't come out. What they needed to do was come out and run a camera down my outside pipe.

They came out for the air conditioning but Home Warranty of America didn't cover it. The issue was a capacitor. The warranty only covers if the air conditioner completely breaks. We're probably going to let the warranty drop because it wouldn't be covering anything unless the entire system goes, which is a few thousand dollars. The system that would be recommended to us that would be covered is a different system than the system that we would go with anyway.

I had a couple of claims last year that I filed in August. I called and called and just got the same runaround. “Oh, somebody will call you back.” Nobody ever called. I would wait weeks, and I would call Home Warranty of America back. “Oh, yeah. I'll have to transfer you to a different department. Somebody will call you back. We'll prioritize this, Blah, blah, blah.” I finally got a new stove but it took six months. Also, I had to pitch in $1,000 towards my new stove because the type I had was a JennAir and they told me that, “Oh, we can't pay for that.” So they gave me half of what it cost me to get a new one. I have thought about changing. And I talked to somebody a while back but they had it auto-renew, which I did not want it to so now I'm stuck in it until next August.

We've put in four claims with them and we are not happy with the coverage so far. Two of the claims were for our refrigerator's ice maker which was going out and they didn't cover parts on it. They only covered the labor. One of the claims was for the AC unit and they didn't cover that either. So, I'm not happy with that. Also, I had a clogged AC line in my attic and the technician called in and explained what it was. They told the technician it wasn't covered but that was not communicated with me. Better communication on what's covered and what's not would be better. Because I'm the one that's actually waiting on the repair to get done and ultimately paying for it. The service people were telling me one thing, and then the Home Warranty people were telling me a totally different thing.
Make sure that what is covered versus what is not covered is explained in detail before you go with a policy. Even when you call in to report it, warranty companies can tell you, if they think that's going to be covered or not, versus just, “Well, you've got this problem. We're going to send these people out. Not only do you have to pay the $75 fee for them to come out, but also, we're not covering parts. We're just going to cover the labor.”

We'll have a guy come out there. Don't worry about it." She found out that they kept running my card and she took care of the problem. She also took care of the deductible on my claim.

I would keep using Home Warranty of America. We have opened quite a lot of claims with them and in those calls in the 20s, one call stuck out as really bad. The rest have been good from their standpoint. When things went sideways, they were available to help. It wasn't 100% smooth, but given that more different entities were involved between me and HWA, and vendors and vendor suppliers, we were without AC for a bit. That was the first real problem. Once we had an issue between four different parties, HWA assigned a more higher-level representative to help us out. She was on top of it, so that was great. I have a list of contractors that I don't wanna work with. So, I prefer to call in rather than go through the automated system because I can request some contractors that I've worked with successfully.

The warranty is good to have, because if I call the plumber, it would cost me hundreds of dollars to have things fixed. It went up. But at the time, it only cost me 50 bucks. But where I'm living, and it has been a lot of plumbing issues, my experience has been horrendous. The contractor that Home Warranty of America uses, Hogins Plumbing & Heating, are very busy. It's a father daughter team. The daughter is quite young, but still. And it can take sometimes weeks or months for them to finish the job. I understand it's one guy and he's the only one that takes the contract in Wasilla, Alaska. HWA should have more than one contractor in an area. So more than one plumbing agent or electrician that we can call for when things like that happen.
Also, read the fine print because I paid for extra things. We found out what goes wrong the most is actually not covered. Like when my refrigerator and the ice maker broke, because the problem is in the door, it doesn't get covered. So now, I got a freezer I couldn't use because it leaks all the cold air out into the house. So I'm not gonna afford a new freezer. Also, because when my washing machine broke, we had contractors out five times but it still wasn't working. We eventually said, "Screw it" and bought a new one because we couldn't get it repaired.

On one occasion (after taking $75) HWA never even sent anyone to our house! Each representative will tell you that they can't find your ticket or your account and finally when that's done that they can't find anyone in the area to schedule a service. I live in a city of over a million people! And there's no electricians or plumbers you can call?

But in the diamond plan, it didn't specify that. We have the top of the list that we could get. The best we could buy. And we thought inside the house that our water pump would be covered because we have a well, but HWA didn't cover it.

When I was sent a new card, I had to call and give HWA the new card information but it got entered in wrong. I got emails about not having paid my bill once a quarter. Every time they fix it, it was fine, but then it would happen again. If they'd done it three times, I was getting two emails because two of them were still entered in wrong but one was entered in correctly. I worried that something was gonna break and we would not be covered. I asked them to check it and put the correct number on. Once we knew what the issue was, they were really nice. They deleted everything and started it from scratch. I haven't had any issues since.

The dishwasher is not working. The first claim was back in 2018 and the person they sent out just put a band-aid on it. It's been since 2018 and it's still not fixed. If we try to call in and explain, they couldn't even look up the claims because they didn't have access to them. The woman that was trying to help couldn't explain it herself. I then asked to speak to a supervisor or a manager, to someone that could get me someplace, and she wasn't even knowledgeable in how to get that person to me on the phone. It's been a very tough battle. There's been at least $300 paid because every time there's a service call, it's $100. It's like the cost of a whole new dishwasher. That defeats the whole purpose of having a home warranty.
One of the guys said he wrote up in the order that Home Warranty of America needed to replace this and they were denying it. The tech suggested we could try using different soaps and we've tried three to four different types and that's not the problem but HWA won’t replace the dishwasher. We've been with HWA for more than four years and we've generally had a good experience. So, I was surprised by this issue that has been unresolved and I'm dismayed that the customer service has gone downhill.
Call centers need to be way more knowledgeable about processes and how they work internally with the company so they can better explain them to the customers. Having access to archived files is huge and they could have higher-ups that are more knowledgeable readily available. Also, the purchase department could not be so cheap. When it's very clear that a piece of equipment needs to be replaced, they could replace it in a very timely manner and not have customers fight for years. And when the contractor writes that, contractors should not be going back to the customer saying HWA is not going to approve it.

The service with Home Warranty of America has been challenging. Their subsidy company, Direct Energy, has my external sewer and I had a sewer line that needed to be replaced. But the claim was not put in at the proper time, because initially, it was listed as a plumbing issue because there was water coming into my house and I had yet to be diagnosed.
After it was diagnosed, there was a delay with the vendor reporting what happened to me and Home Warranty of America. Then Home Warranty of America refused to backdate the work to the proper date when the issue happened. They filed it as a different claim under the warranty. The issue got handled and everything's been taken care of. However, they put it under my new policy, which started in August, instead of the old policy back in July, when the initial issue happened. So now, if something happens, I have no coverage for the rest of the year.
Home Warranty of America told the vendor that they would backdate the work and that I would get a confirmation email. On Friday, I made five phone calls to Home Warranty of America because my phone call was dropped four times in the middle of transferring my call. I got transferred 17 times between those five phone calls and I spent three hours on the phone trying to get an answer about what was going on and why I haven't received that backdate confirmation email, only to be told that they weren't going to backdate it anymore when they had just told the vendor the night before that they would. They told me that they're not allowed to do that and that the vendor needs to contact the territory manager. It doesn't make sense that the vendor was told one thing and I was told another.
It has always been very difficult to contact someone when I try to follow up with my services. Part of the problem is that Home Warranty of America is not consistent with the agents that they provide you with. it's a different agent every time. They said that they function as an outbound call center, so no one has a direct number or you can't get anyone by extension. So, you're always constantly following up with somebody different, and then they have to have you repeat all the same information and then have them look at all the notes. So, that adds to the inconsistency.
When the water heater started leaking, it took Home Warranty of America about seven days to get somebody out. But that claim wasn't nearly as bad. My furnace broke down in 2019 in the middle of a polar vortex that year that we had negative 31-degree weather. But no one fixed it for two weeks. I had to go live at my mother's and I had to run heaters through my house in order for the pipes not to freeze. It could have been a very bad situation and caused a lot of damage to the house and to myself if I had nowhere to go, or very expensive for me to stay in a hotel at that time if that had been the case. I also had a cat and I was worried about him but I removed him from the situation.
Home Warranty of America fought with me about an electricity box. I had to have my electricity box replaced. It was a fire hazard and they were refusing initially to pay for it. I told them, "You've got to be kidding. The electrician called you and said the longer this sits, the more likely the house is to catch on fire and burn down. What do you mean you're not going to take care of this?" So, it's been a journey.

Our AC techs came from one of the claims that we did and we still use them annually. It looks like it's a bunch of smaller businesses, not like the bigger ones. They had to send a couple of people because they didn't do what they were supposed to do. On the last time, we finally got the problem solved. But for the most part, it's an all right service.

I called HWA and inquired as to the company/vendor assigned to my claim. I was given vendor’s name, contact information along with the date and time of service. I called the vendor yesterday, 9/7/21 regarding the claim. Vendor said he doesn’t work with HWA.
I called HWA several times yesterday 9/7/21, and even spoke with a supervisor who said he needed to do some research and would call me back within an hour. As of this posting, no one from HWA has called me. Late yesterday evening I called HWA as to the status of my claim. HWA asked if I had contacted a particular vendor. Said vendor is in Maryland; I’m in south Texas. I explained that vendor would not be contacting me due the nature of our location. I clashed the customer service analyst if he understood the geography between the vendor and where I live. No response.
Today I called HWA several times regarding my claim. Again, the vendor in Maryland was suggested. I eventually cancelled my claim and home warranty policy. I went to Lowe’s, purchased a garage door opener and paid to have one of their contractors install my garage door opener. Customer service analyst are not properly trained nor is management. Analysts read from a script and do not deviate from the script. One analyst laughed at me. Some analysts have their phone or headset on mute to where when the call is transferred to the analyst the analyst cannot hear the customer and hangs up.
When you contact HWA you have to give your name, contact number, email address and physical address. Then, you are transferred to another department and have to repeat the same information again. If you are transferred to the wrong department, you keep repeating your. Very frustrating and exhausting. Save yourself and do not purchase a home way from HWA. It’s for your own health and peace.

I don't like the service people that Home Warranty of America sends out to the house because they usually don't fix stuff and we have to pay for it. My husband helped fix the shower with the person that came out, so I don't know what I'm paying the warranty for. I also called in a claim for my stove and it is still messed up. The techs only fixed one burner then never came back to fix the front burner. I'm over it at this point. Home Warranty of America also messed up on my payment. It was an automatic payment and I went behind and paid again. They stated that I didn't pay when I actually double paid. Instead of calling about payments all the time, Home Warranty of America should make sure that their service people fix the things that need to be fixed.

I usually tell Home Warranty of America there's an issue and they give me a claim number. A vendor will follow up with me and take care of the issue within the same week. Home Warranty of America saved us a lot of money and I don't see us ever not having a warranty since we've had to file a lot of claims since we moved in our house.
But there was one thing I was a little confused about. We had one little situation where I misunderstand the contract. Our toilet upstairs was running water and it seeped into the ceiling downstairs. It sounded like Home Warranty covered the toilet but they didn't cover the damage from the drywall. They said that they worked something out and covered a partial so I didn't have to pay the full amount. But they weren't very clear if I had a drywall issue related to an appliance breaking down like the toilet.
I also need to read the contract a little bit more to understand what Home Warranty covers. The light bulb in our refrigerator exploded or burnt out then it froze. Now, it melted within the fridge. The refrigerator is pitch black. But we can’t fix that because the refrigerator technically still works. Another thing is we have the sewer coverage and there's a separate number for it. It’s part of the home warranty but the way the home warranty handles a claim is a little bit different. I was having an issue updating my credit card and I tried to call the home warranty number. I was told I had to call the sewer number. I called them and was told I had to get back to the home warranty.

I have a AC that intermate failing and most time is not kicking on when temperature is reached. I called for service. The technician came found the ECM module is intermate failing, and he has a problem find a parts from Lennox because the Covid. He try to use him spare parts, then found the model number is not the same. Then he decided to call the Home Warranty of America, after the long time calling he came back just want to collect his $100 check. I then contacted the company, they told me the technician said it's eventually will be bad, so they suggest me call back when really failing. I told them it's failing now and I also realized the technician took my check and ran. They said I can make a new case again, but I will have to pay another $100 if another technician says the AC is OK. What a joke.... I spend money twice ($560+$100) end up I still have to live with the intermate failing AC?

The contractor came out fairly quickly and our minor plumbing issue was resolved. Every time we had anybody come, they have always been good. We like keeping our warranty just in case something breaks. It probably pays for itself, but that's why we have it.

Dear Sue, we are pleased to hear that you are greatly satisfied and look forward to servicing all your future needs. Please don't hesitate to contact us by phone or live chat at www.hwahomewarranty.com should you need our assistance. Thanks again and have a wonderful day! Sincerely, - Mateo/Digital Care

I'm paying for my warranty because I know it's a necessity. The very first time I used it was six months after I had it was my first incident. And I had some guys do some bathroom work to a toilet, and I had a leak. I paid my deductible, they sent someone out, he fixed the toilet and the sink. Immediately after they did that work, I had a leak through my ceiling and I could never get them back out. Home Warranty of America wanted to re-charge me to get somebody else. I almost canceled it, but it was paid up for a year. So, I had to pay another plumber to come and make the fix, even though I paid them.
I just renewed with them. We have a jacuzzi, so the tech came and looked at it, but it took four weeks for them to get the parts for the guy to even come back to fix it. It took a long time. Now, it works, but I can't turn it off. My husband pressed the button last night so he was in there water everywhere, splashing through the jets. So, I need to call those people back and have them come and look at this button that they put on.
I'm on a month-to-month. I didn't pay the full year. Never again. So, if I could find something to change to, I'm gonna push more forward because HWA never follows up. It's like, "Hey, if I send somebody to your house and they do work, somebody should call back and say, 'Hey, how was the service that we provided?'" I could get the clear feedback. It shouldn't be me calling and saying, "Hey, here's my complaint." Then, if I complain, it shouldn't take a month for somebody to come out to look at something and/or, "Let me charge you again another $50." "What? I just paid you for this. It's not like it's a new separate issue. It's the same thing." Shop around.

Dealing with the Home Warranty of America has been gracious. Sometimes when they use the repair people, these repair people might not be the best. When the washer was going haywire, the tech didn't really fix it. It's still acting up. But HWA doesn't have any control over the repairs so I can't blame them for that. I'm enjoying them. For my peace of mind, if my air conditioner or anything goes bad, I know I have warranty.
