Be careful with Landmark. They are not responsible for their job. I call to open the service to replace garbage disposal and then the contractor (Precision Plumbing Service Inc) came to my house. The guy just take a look and tell me he will come back later 3 or 5 days to replace for me and the contractor took me $70. After a week nobody call me to schedule to replace for me. I am not happy. I call Landmark. I ask for another contractor. They say they cannot find any contractor for me. So I tell them give my money back. They say the contractor took my money. Not them. But the contractor tell me they took money for Landmark.
If I need to refund I should call Landmark because Landmark took my money not the contractor. But I call Landmark they say they don't refund for me because the money for contractor came out but contractor did not fix anything for me. They don't protect their customers. Finally, I cannot contact Landmark and the contractor again. They don't pick up the phone. I would not recommend this company. They are not in charge with their job. LANDMARK should be CLOSE.
Hieu,
The part was delayed due to the hurricane. I apologize for the delay in service. I see that last week the contractor was making attempts to schedule with you. Hopefully, this has been resolved for you.

Landmark's warranty price is fair but there's a vast amount of coverage available which I appreciate. Plus I find that their website is easy to work with. The only disconnect that I get is after submitting a claim I'll get an email from Landmark quickly saying that they’ve received it and passed it off. But sometimes the contractors don't contact us within the projected turnaround time. They say within 24 hours and sometimes it’s within 48 instead. Luckily most of the issues that we've had haven't been life or death so it hasn't been too big of a deal.
The techs who came have all been stellar but one. We had an AC guy that came and said that our issue wasn’t going to be covered and that it's going to be $1,000 to replace the condenser. We're like, "We didn't cause this to happen. This is totally something." So Landmark was very good in that instance. We contacted them and said, "Hey, can you get a different company out? Let’s get a requote on this. We don't agree with this tech." That was on the advice of a guy who does insurance claim adjustment so he knows all of these stuff. He was like, "Yeah, you need to just call and ask for a requote." Then the claim was covered.
Landmark has been a good company to work with and I just renewed for the next year. I appreciate greatly the umbrella of not having to worry about the dishwasher or the refrigerator breaking and us being out hundreds of dollars to replace or get it fixed. I know that it's going to be 60 bucks and 70 bucks and I'm done. Overall Landmark is simple and I also feel reassured and secured.
Chris,
I want to personally thank you, for leaving an honest review of the events that you have endured. It is reassuring to know that our well trained customer service representatives are delivering service Landmark can be proud of. Your service is not isolated, and we look forward to working with you in the future.

We purchased a home warranty when we closed on our house at the end of May. I submitted a claim for our HVAC system approx 6 weeks later, as we noticed the main trunk line (ducting) in the crawlspace had filled with water and detached from the floor joists above. This was an issue that originally came up during inspection as part of our offer; the issue was remedied by the previous owner and PASSED re-inspection prior to close. The previous owner AND the inspector provided documentation/photos (and we self-inspected) to confirm the issue had been remedied and new ducting had been installed.
6 weeks later, the issue reoccurs. I filed a claim, paid my $60, and the HVAC tech came and again, cleared out the condensation line. However, LANDMARK states I need to file a homeowners insurance claim for the ductwork to be replaced. I paid $89 for an independent diagnosis (from a different HVAC provider NOT associated with LANDMARK), which is: "Failure of the condensation drain line allowed condensation to overflow into the supply plenum and main trunk line. The main trunk line suffered catastrophic water damage and needs to be replaced and strapped in accordance with Idaho state code. Home owner has a home warranty which should cover any damage due to equipment/product failure".
LANDMARK sent their preferred vendor again to estimate the cost of replacing the ductwork. The vendor was standing next to me when spoke with a Landmark claims rep whom, after putting me on hold for 27 minutes, AGREED to cover the cost of replacing the duct work, up to $500. As we're wrapping up the conversation, we were conveniently disconnected, and the claims rep did not bother to call me back. I called again and spoke with a different rep who said she'd make sure the ticket was created and sent to the vendor to schedule the work. Within an hour, I get a call back from the original representative, telling me LANDMARK will NOT cover the damage, as is it "secondary" damage. EXCUSE ME... The damage was caused due to a problem with the HVAC system as a WHOLE.
I should have done my homework before purchasing this policy, as you have almost as many BBB complaints as you do reviews. So far it's cost me almost $500 for the warranty, plus a $60 deductible for the service call, plus $89 for a LEGITIMATE HVAC company to come out and tell me what I already know. STILL THE ISSUE PERSISTS. I'll be filing a complaint with the BBB and the AG. This is a useless product, considering LANDMARK looks for any possible loophole to DENY a claim, INCLUDING goading the preferred vendor into modifying the diagnosis so as to legitimize the DENIAL.
Sandy,
I am looking through your claims, and I believe the source of your frustration is the denial. I am sorry that you were not satisfied with the outcome of the service request. Our contract has specific terms in which we must follow. This way we remain equitable to all homeowners. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns I can answer.Thank you, Candace Parke | cparke@landmarkhw.com | Customer Relations Manager

We had several issues this year and Landmark handled them all pretty well. The call opening was easy, and the initial visit by a third-party to evaluate the fix was also quick. The decision by Landmark to actually sanction/approve the fix was longer than expected in all cases. That caused the third-party to schedule a second visit to complete the repair. In the end, the repairs came and all was closed out.

When somebody bought our house, they requested that we put a Landmark Home Warranty on the house. We did the same thing when we turned around and bought a house. It is very easy to submit a claim over the phone and the claims representative is always knowledgeable and helpful. I've had trouble before with a couple of air conditioning guys. So when I called for an air conditioning service, I specifically requested a different company and Landmark Home Warranty has always been fine with that. I'd recommend Landmark Home Warranty. They have been professional, courteous and lived up to their side of the bargain.

Water Heater Replacement Experience - NOT GOOD. Paid $100 deductible, took a week to get a plumber to show up. Then the plumber said the water heater need to be replaced. They call me later that day to tell me that I am responsible for $900.00 out of pocket. The plumber came up with all kinds of bogus charges to drive up the price, they refuse to send a second plumber.
Copy of exact email they sent me: "Good Morning, Great news! We are going to replace your water heater and the labor to do so. However there are a few modifications that the warranty does not cover for. Below is the breakdown of the out of pocket expenses. Please review them and let us know that you approve and we can move forward with replacing your water heater. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you! Ball valve $75.00, TMP Modification $50.00, Water line Modification $95.00, Second man $130.00, Permit $175.00, Vent modification $375.00. Total out of pocket $900.00 OR You can take the cash out. Replacement $261, Labor $130, Total cash out $391. Please keep in mind due to our negotiated rates with our contractors and vendors out cash outs are not at full retail."
I had a different home warranty company replace a water heater last year and I only paid $125.00 out of pocket WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. The house is less than 10 years old, and the exact same water heater is available. There should be no modifications. Called the city and the permit costs $55.00, not $175.00. They will never pay for labor on anything that requires a second person. My claim was managed by Jessica ** and Nichole **. I would not recommend this company to anyone that has anything other than a minor problem.
With every contract, there are things that the warranty will not cover. The responsibility of the contractor is to provide a list of items that will be necessary and their cost to repair them. From there we then look at the warranty coverage. I see that there were two items that are on this list that in fact should have been covered. I also see in the notes, that that amount was reflected in your cash in lieu, and an increased amount was provided to you. I apologize for the human error that allowed for such frustration. Landmark works diligently to be sure that all out of pocket expenses are checked thoroughly before providing them to the homeowners. Again, I apologize this did not happen in your case. I am glad we were able to come to a resolution in this circumstance.

I work very hard in very long hours and I didn’t want to have to do the research. My daughter has Landmark Home Warranty and already knew what it all was about. She did the research for me and I didn’t have to read any books. I've had Landmark since I bought the house on July 27th this year. I’ve had multiple conversations with their reps about setting up my rekey and my air conditioner tune-up and the experience was very good. Afterwards, they called back to find out how everything went and make sure the technicians did a good job and they did. So far, my experience with Landmark Home Warranty has been painless.
Kathryn,
Landmark is happy to hear that your experiences have been painless. This is what we aim for in every situation. We want our homeowners to no longer worry about their warranty need when they experience an initial failure. We hope that our homeowners will open the claim and let us handle all of the work for them. We look forward to working with you.

I would like to start by saying I have had a handful of just bad customer experiences but none so bad that I left a review online, until my experience with a broken air conditioner and subsequent service request with Landmark Home Warranty and Talegen Mechanical Services (the contracted company assigned to the service ticket). At this point I have been without A/C for 8 days. Talegen has been to my residence 3 times and has been unable to repair my issue in any capacity but has acknowledged an issue with the unit. The issue is the unit is overheating and turning off. The technician spoke very frankly on his last visit and said if the issue is determined to be an expensive fix they typically will pick an excuse to get out of it because home warranty companies won’t pay well for the fix and Talegen doesn’t want to lose money.
I called on Friday 9/1 to let Landmark know the issue was not resolved after the 3rd visit. I never received a follow up. So I called this morning 9/5 to request an update and they let me know the ticket was resolved because Talegen said it was a thermostat issue. So to recap, the technician, confirmed the unit had an issue but it could be costly to fix and that that’s typically when things can get shady, then I requested another recall of the ticket and it was closed without a follow up to me because they determined it was a "thermostat issue" which the technician confirmed it was not because the unit was overheating and turning off. I requested another update today from my claim manager and was told it could be 48 hours before I get a callback per Landmark's policy. The forecast for today and tomorrow in Tempe is 107 degrees. Take your time Landmark, no rush.
Kyle,
I have been watching this claim closely. I see that as of yesterday, we received reports that the unit is back up and running, cooling appropriately. Please let me know if there is anything further I can assist with.

I have had Landmark Home Warranty for 3 years and have been pretty satisfied up until this past March when I renewed my policy. I had asked for the same coverage, $60 service fee, with addition of roof leak protection/coverage which was a $100. On 9/2/17, we had a garage spring break and so I went to Landmark's website to verify that the garage spring would be covered and I was shocked to see my service fee was now $100!! I thought for sure that this was a mistake. I went back and reviewed all my renewal documents (The contract! The invoice! The certificate all from 3/1/17.) and nowhere does it state that the service fee would be increased to $100!!
So I called Landmark customer service expecting them to admit it was a simple mistake. They told me that I signed up for the higher service fee plan (Uh, no I didn't!!) and that there was nothing they could do! What just happened? I called trying to get a hold of supervisors and the renewal department and got the complete runaround and was told over and over that it was my mistake! I AM CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY AS I FEEL SO DECEIVED. I want my entire renewal fee back. I would have never renewed if I knew I was getting a $100 service fee. I had asked to renew the exact same plan from the year before and was told I was and nowhere in the contract does it state it otherwise! Very dishonest.

They do not honor their contracts at all. You can't get any help on the weekends as no managers are available to approve (their words not mine). Once denied a claim they refuse to let you speak to anyone else. Contact your attorney general for consumer affairs in your state and in Utah for help.
Thank you for the response. Landmark remains within the contract terms that have been provided to you. Landmark will not change the contract terms for one homeowner as we are bound to the contractor to be equitable in all homeowners. As you have been provided these contract terms there is nothing further we can do.
C. TO REQUEST SERVICE4. Under normal circumstances, services will be initiated within 48 hours after your service request is made to LHW.
9. In the event of an emergency, LHW will make reasonable efforts to expedite service within 24 hours. An emergency is defined as a failure resulting in:
a. Plumbing failure that causes interior flooding
b. Complete loss of heat or A/C in extreme temperatures, as defined by LHW ( over 90 degrees in the home for over 24 consecutive hours)
c. System or appliance failure causing ongoing secondary damage to home
d. A condition that immediately endangers health or safety
e. A condition that interferes with healthcare support for occupants
f. No electricity, gas, water, or toilet facilities to the entire home.
10. If you should request us to perform a non-emergency service request outside of normal business hours, you will be responsible for payment of additional fees, including overtime.
13. In some instances, LHW may offer you the option of finding your own contractor to provide diagnosis and possible subsequent repair. In this instance, your contractor must provide a diagnosis and itemized bid to LHW before any work is performed. LHW will not reimburse you for services performed by your own contractor without prior authorization.
D. THIS CONTRACT DOES NOT COVER
7. Failure to provide timely service due to conditions beyond LHW’s control, including but not limited to, part or equipment delays or labor difficulties.
I know you are frustrated and you feel as though, you did not have any other options. Unfortunately, circumstances don’t change the contract terms. As a person, I wish there was more I could do. I am bound by the contract, and in no way is this something I can change.
I appreciate your time,Candace Parke

The process is straightforward and easy, and my interactions with their reps have all been professional. However, I noticed if it's HVAC related, it would usually take a week or so. The contractor doesn't usually show up that day. But when one of them was way out, Landmark worked with me and rescheduled a different contractor. In all the cases I’ve used Landmark, the technician had usually resolved it promptly and they had all the supplies I needed. It was good dealing with them too.

When I call in a claim or do it online, they’re prompt to email me with the confirmation right away, and then I would get an email with the actual contractor’s name so it’s easy to do. The claims representatives have been very courteous and friendly. I know they get paid minimum wages because they’re customer service, but they really do a pretty good job.

I was purchasing a house and the sellers were going to pay for our home warranty for a year. I looked into a few companies and I also checked out Landmark Home Warranty. I knew a couple of people who have used them. I haven’t heard great things about home warranty companies, but Landmark seemed to have the best response.
I submitted our first claim a couple of weeks ago. It was for an AC issue and it’s pretty easy to do. I got a call back from them quickly. The first company they found for us was unable to come out for a week. Landmark should’ve known immediately that a week late in the middle of August for an AC issue wasn’t going to be acceptable. They should’ve already gone and started looking for a different company. But as soon as I called Landmark back and said that was unacceptable, they found somebody else to send out the next day.
We had a five-hour timeframe for the technician to show up, but he came within it. He was very friendly. He listened to me about my concern, what I thought to be the problem was, and what I’ve observed. And then, he got straight to work and fixed the problem. He then came back and explained to me what the issue was.

Our initial contact with Landmark’s claims department was spectacular. Our AC unit went out on a Friday and we filed a service claim online but after hours I called and got someone who said even though it didn’t really meet the conditions for after hour emergency assistance, she could still help get this fixed. She was fantastic and I felt taken care of. We paid our $60 service fee and scheduled an appointment with a contractor to come out on Monday.
The tech came, 30 minutes outside of the four hour service window they had given us. He told us he replaced some valves on the compressor that looked old and then tinkered with the power company’s shut off box saying that could’ve been the problem too. Sounded like a stab in the dark to us. He then proclaimed it fixed and left. It was not fixed. We called him back, left several messages, called the dispatch for the Heating and Air company, left messages. We even text them. There was no response. We called Landmark the next day and they told us we have to give that same contractor a chance to fix the unit, despite our reservations.
We scheduled a second appointment with the same Heating and Air company, per Landmark’s insistence. The same tech came out on Wednesday, replaced the entire connection with the power company’s regulator box. Told us the fan in the furnace audibly vibrates, a problem we’ve never noticed, which caused the wire for the AC from the thermostat to come loose. He didn’t notice previously because it looks connected but wasn’t. He proclaimed the unit was working. It did appear to blow cold air. However 10 minutes later, after he left, the cold air apparently ran out because it stopped blowing cold air.
We called Landmark again. Told them that the unit is still not working. They went around and around with us, telling us the unit is working, according to the technician, who’s a professional and is obviously infallible. They told us we would have to pay a new contractor to come out and fix the problem at our expense and if it turns out there actually was something wrong with our unit, they would then reimburse us for the cost. I told them no way. It’s pretty obvious when your AC is not working. You don’t need to be a professional to know there is no cold air coming out of the vents. Our unit was not fixed. Further, we have no motivation for lying to them. It’s a waste of our time to be home for two service calls and now a third if the AC unit is working correctly. Any reasonable person would believe the customer and acknowledge the unit is not working.
All we wanted was for them to hire a different, more competent company, and waive the $60 fee. They refused. I talked to four “managers”, actually team leads it turns out. Who would not transfer me to a supervisor. Who told me they can, if they wanted to, waive the $60 fee but that they wouldn’t. We’ve never had a worse or more frustrating customer service experience. The second to last team lead, Theresa, told me it would be 15-20 minutes of hold to get someone else on the phone because she had to go on her break. Obviously hoping we would hang up. We didn’t and she did eventually transfer me to someone else who ended up hanging up on me after an hour and a half. I’ve never been so mad in my life.
We eventually called back and just scheduled a different company to come out and paid the second $60 fee. We shall see if they fix it or not or just Band-Aid the problem. If you have a choice of warranties think carefully before you go with Landmark. I hope the $60 service fee you pinched us for was worth it, Landmark. Landmark is up there as the worst home warranty and company I’ve ever worked with.

I see that you are frustrated with the outcome of this service request. I do show that your service request was denied due to lack of maintenance as the pictures provided by the contractor indicate that your unit is severely impacted. I know this is frustrating news.

Our realtor recommended Landmark Home Warranty when we bought the house and the seller paid for the warranty. It’s easy to submit a claim with them and you can do it online. However, there were some inconveniences with their claims process. Doing it by calling is too difficult because I can't ever reach a live person. Their reps were all very nice and pleasant though, but it would be better if they’re more easily accessible via phone should I need to talk to someone.
I’ve had some bad experience with techs who have low quality skill sets. I had a plumber who didn’t know what he was doing and then an electrician who was not personable and such a jerk. But I also encountered a tech who was knowledgeable, although I had to wait for four days to get him because he was busy. Also, he’s the worst in communication. He would text and we wouldn’t hear from him for a few days. When he finally got here, he fixed the problem. My free piece of advice to Landmark is instead of them randomly picking someone that they know is going to be cheap, it would be nice if we could select from whoever is on their list to satisfy our time requirement. Also, they should use better quality contractors to do repairs.
Landmark didn’t explain to us the way they do work. It’s $70 every time to do whatever the unit actually needed, but when the unit needed to be replaced, they won’t do that. So, we ended up buying the air conditioner from the tech. Also, the refrigerant for the AC unit was $140 a pound, but Landmark only covered $20 of that, which was not a very good value.

This feedback is imperative to Landmark's future. We count on feedback like this to fine tune our processes in order to cater to our homeowner's needs. You have provided specific examples of how you would like to see Landmark change in the future, and for that we thank you.

We live in Arizona and it is Summer time where our temperatures have been barely cooling off at 105 degrees. We have young children and pets. We have had this insurance for a year and have not made any claims. We recently made our first claim when our A/C unit went out. We called Landmark and they sent us a contractor who would with make an appointment with us within one business day or we should call the contractor. We were happy to receive a call from the contractor within the day on the weekend. We set up the soonest appointment as A/C issues are huge in Arizona in the Summer. He came out and diagnosed the the unit and said he would get with Landmark quickly to replace the compressor.
During this process We kept receiving emails to ensure We promptly updated Landmark of the appointment set, the contractor's arrival time, departure time or We could possibly void our warranty and have to pay for everything. We called Landmark within a few hours of him leaving to see what steps were next to ensure We did not miss anything that would stop our process. Landmark confirmed they had already been contacted by the contractor and would review the estimate and see what was covered by our insurance.
After two days without hearing from Landmark, we called to follow up and was told they are still evaluating what they would cover. We asked what all would be evaluated aside from the compressor and the labor. They said they were evaluating the cost of 7 lbs of Freon for the unit and we would have to pay for this but were still evaluating if this would be the case and they would not reuse the Freon in the unit that was just tuned up when we bought the house. We waited two more days and called the company and they still did not have an answer and we reiterated it's Summer in Tucson and the representative said they would put in a note for the manager to contact us and we are 10 days later and no answer on our claim and no call from anyone to address our claim.
The call process needs to be addressed as well as we waited on hold for a little over 15 minutes just to be forwarded to individuals emails, instead of a direct message that they were not open or all lines were busy or even a call back prompt. Other attempts to make calls to the claim department have taken at the quickest 34 minutes to get to a real person to only be placed back on hold while each person gets the same information from us and transfers us to "the right department to assist".
This process is beyond lacking in customer service, follow up, courtesy, and action, why did we buy a warranty from this company to protect our family from the Tucson heat and have not even had follow up on the progress, yet receive emails about how we could void our warranty if we do not keep Landmark updated on the status of the contractor they connected us to. We are not impressed with this company and this is only the first claim with this company.
UPDATED ON 08/24/2017: This is our first time filing a claim with Landmark and I see that the many negative reviews against this company are true unfortunately. Firstly, we was assigned a claims manager who we was never informed of; instead each time we called and waited on hold for excessive amounts of time, we kept getting bounced from one claims representative to another and having to update each one and remain on hold again while they reviewed the file. This would be much more efficient if our selected claims representative would have been available and returned calls. After finding out we had a claims representative, he was never available to speak with us via phone, email or fax. None of the members from Landmark ever returned phone calls as they claimed nor did we ever get a call from a manager that was promised due to the situation of the Arizona heat and laws that apply with tenants.
Yes, the parts were finally ordered 11 days later, however the company Landmark picked is charging us for Freon for an a.c. unit that the technician said had not gone out yet, therefore the Freon is not contaminated and should be reused. Landmark is not covering the 7 lbs of Freon and requiring us to pay the company that they chose over $500 for freon that is not contaminated and they will walk away with re-useable freon.
Furthermore, Landmark will not allow us to use our own licensed and bonded contractor or pay us the amount they approved for the job so we can expedite our own contracting to accommodate our tenants in the Arizona heat thus putting our company in danger of being sued because the company we pay to keep our house warrantied is now past the 12th day of starting this claim. That is almost 2 weeks without a.c. in Arizona heat where laws require a.c. for livable conditions, and paying over $500 for 7 lbs of Freon that is being taken from a unit that was recharged less than a year ago and is already deemed not contaminated.
The solution given to us from Landmark is to look into starting this process over with another Landmark pre-chosen company. This is not an adequate solution. Landmark has already been paid over $700 in monthly installments to bring this job to a combined total of $1200 which is what a separate contractor has already quoted the job at without hassle and it would have been taken care of the same day.
Finally, unless the individuals we have been dealing with are the weak link in this company, then by my figures, it is not worth a homeowner or business owner to invest in Landmark. Instead, save the money you'd pay in installments and pay for services as needed with contractors you know, trust and can build relationships with and claim these expenses as tax deductions instead of dealing with the hassle.
Thank you for giving Landmark this opportunity to address your concerns. I apologize that Landmark has not met your expectation of service on this claim. We honestly do our best to provide every valued homeowner with a positive claim experience in a timely manner. We have received your complaint and will research what occurred during this situation right away. I do see that we have ordered parts as of today. Once the parts are available for pick up, the contractor will be in touch to schedule an install appointment. Your feedback is not taken lightly. We honestly do our best to take care of our valued homeowners. Thank you, Candace Parke cparke@landmarkhw.com Online Reputation Manager

On the afternoon of Sunday August 13th, we submitted a claim to Landmark that our AC unit was making a very loud grinding noise. I received an email with my selected contractor and they were obviously closed being a Sunday. So I had to wait to contact them. Within 6 hours of submitting this claim, our AC completely went out. It is the middle of summer in Texas and within an hour of the AC being out the temperature in the house was 85 degrees and climbing. We made the decision to head to a hotel for what we thought would be 2-3 nights max.
On Monday I contacted the AC company and they worked me into the schedule on Tuesday morning. The contractor arrived and "diagnosed" my problem in less than 5 minutes. He found 1 thing wrong (fan motor) and went with that. I believe that this stemmed from the fact that Landmark will just patch the bare minimum. On Tuesday afternoon I contacted Landmark to see if the AC company (Military Air) had let them know what a problem was. They had not heard anything and was told that my claims manager would reach out to the AC company and myself by the end of the day. I did not hear anything.
On Wednesday morning I attempted to reach my claims manager and left multiple voice mails but did not hear anything back. Wednesday afternoon I went through the customer service phone line and was put into contact with another claims manager to "help" me. By the time I got in contact with her, the AC company had submitted my claim for approval to do the work. When I talked to her I informed her that our AC unit had stopped working and that we are currently in a hotel. I was told that it would take 2-3 days before the claim to do work was approved. I had to ask multiple times and remind her that it is 100+ degrees in Texas. I needed this claim to be expedited. She said she would try but did not have a guarantee on how long it would take. On Wednesday night I received an email that my claim had been approved.
On Thursday mid-morning, I called the AC company to ensure that they had received the approval and had ordered the needed part. When I called them, they had not heard anything from Landmark so I called the claims manager that I had spoken to the day prior. After attempting to reach her multiple times over the phone with no answer I had to ONCE AGAIN go through the customer service menus to reach a live person. This individual stated that she sees the approval in the system but does not know where the part is being ordered from or who will be ordering it (Landmark or the AC company). I asked to speak to a manager. She seemed very hesitant to let me speak to a manager and constantly said that her manager would only have the same thing to say to me. I once again requested to speak to a manager and was finally put in contact with the manager.
I explained the entire situation from start to end to the manager including the fact that I have not spoken to the same person 2 days in a row. Her answer to this was that each day, the person I was trying to contact happened to be out of the office. Something to keep in mind, we have been paying out of pocket to stay in a hotel this entire time. When I finished explaining everything to the manager I asked if they have any compensation for the inconvenience of being out of our home. She stated that it was not in their policy to pay for any undue stress made to customers. This is absolutely ridiculous that nothing can be compensated, even something as small as refunding our $70 service fee. We had to pay to have the contractor come out in the first place. She stated to me multiple times that they can't do anything and that she had no idea when the part would come in. She was zero help in the situation and did nothing to help.
After getting off the phone with her, I contacted the AC company and verified that they knew they could order the part. They said yes and they would order it. On Friday I reached out to the AC company to see when the part would arrive. They informed that it had arrived and they scheduled me for Saturday morning. We had the part replaced Saturday morning. Our house is SLOWLY cooling off which makes me think that there is still something wrong with our unit. That I will most likely have to pay another $70 service fee for if I want someone to look at it again.
The key points to take away from all of this is the fact I never spoke to the same person 2 days in a row. There is no way to update a service request or state that it is an urgent matter so that they could potentially find a 24/7 company to help service our AC. The lack of communication to know who is in the office or not in the office and the fact that they are not willing to compensate or take care of their customers in any way form or fashion.

I've had a Landmark Home Warranty for two years now and have had to use them a lot. They are always trying to fight with you to get out of paying anything. It's a $70 service fee and if that won't fix the issue and you're forced to do a cash in lieu to get it fixed and buy a part, they're always trying to give you a cash option that is less than the $70 you've already paid so you wasted money. Anytime you ever need something fixed, you'll have to be arguing with them over the phone and through email for days and sometimes weeks over a couple hours a day and even have to threaten to sue in small claims for them to cover what the contract states.
They come up with stupid things like the covered patio isn't part of the main foundation (which of course it is, it's under the same roof structure as the rest of the home). Or they'll say it costs them only $34 for their contractor to replace a faucet so cash in lieu won't be higher than that which doesn't even cover the $70 service fee, and every plumber in the world charges $125 minimum for a faucet installation. They are crooks and always having to argue with you. Just find a good handyman and don't spend your money on these crooks.

If I were to have reviewed this company in December 2016 I would have given a 5 star review. However, I now feel jilted by this company. We have a Trane Air Purification Unit as part of our AC system. When we started our contract with Landmark, we were told that this would be covered under HVAC modifications. Now that we need to have this cleaned we are being told that this is not part of the coverage. VERY disappointed.

I bought a house that was a foreclosure. It sat empty for a number of months. I KNEW I would need a home warranty as issues would arise once we moved in. Sure enough - we had almost zero hot water in our kitchen. Why??? And it took 4-5 mins to get hot water to showers. Our dishwasher was not working. Water bill was crazy high too??? All of these were due to the Re-Circulation pump but we didn't know that. I called Landmark and told them I had almost zero hot water in the kitchen. They scheduled a plumber - and off they went! Within mins I had the name of a contractor that would contact me to set up a service time. And sure enough - the contractor called and he determined that the pump needed to be replaced. He worked with Landmark - and together they took off the stress from me. I didn't have to make phone calls or do anything. Landmark took care of all the scheduling. Thank-you!

My husband and I are first time home buyers so we bought a home warranty that we thought would take care of us as advertised since we didn't want any surprises to ruin our savings account. We chose Landmark Home Warranty...horrible decision! We moved in 1/2017 and since then we have had to call Landmark on 7 different occasions for AC and with each time they would send out a company that would just put a band-aid on the issue. We have spent over $2,500 on fixing our AC unit and it still continues to break. I am pregnant and we have a one-year-old son... we live in Texas (so summers are incredibly hot!) I have had several annoyances with this company but the most recent one (today) was the final straw that broke the camels back!
We had someone come out and "fix" our unit two days ago and today it has broken again. When I contacted Landmark, like I always do, I was informed there was nothing they could do since it was a Saturday. Remember the part where I said I was pregnant and have a ONE-year-old. The company is a joke. They are actually OKAY with letting a pregnant woman and her baby sit in a 90 plus degree (it is at 92 degrees as I am typing this) weather house for TWO days, until the company they "have" to send out is available. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! They should've said, "We would be happy to find someone who is available now to assist you."
I work from home and unable to transfer my work to a different location so I am stuck at this hot house. I wonder if my son or my dog had a heat stroke from being in the hot house, that they are "suppose" to help fix, if that would make them change their rules?! I am so disgusted and unbelievably shocked at the lack of care for their customers. I will be sure to tell everyone I know and everyone I can reach out to just what I think of this company!

This is literally the worst experience I have ever had dealing with a company and contractors to get things fixed. We started having issues with our AC unit not cooling in April, we submitted a service ticket and paid our fee, the next day or so AC Rescue came out, we thought they diagnosed and fixed the problem. We had to pay an additional $350 for freon in addition to our service change but for a fixed AC we thought, who cares, it's fixed just I time for the heat! Well we were wrong, we had the unit have issues off and on, seemed to not cool well then finally we called again in June when it had reached 83 degrees upstairs no matter how much it ran.
With high electric bills and not being cool we submitted another service ticket. This time the same company came out AC rescue, gave us some new leaking issue to fix and add more freon for another $300 and soon after it wasn't cooling again. We do another service ticket and another fee and request a new company, only for our service ticket to be cancelled without being fixed for a reason no one can explain. When we call to find out why we still haven't heard from the contractor or been given a number to call we find out the ticket has been cancelled, so we open a new one.
A week later we finally get the other contractor to come out to look at the AC and over a week after that we find out from the home warranty company that the part that needs to be replaced isn't available anymore so the whole unit has to be replaced but they will only pay for the condenser and we pay the rest, which is them paying $700 and we pay almost $4000! This after over 2 weeks without the AC working in the middle of July when the outside temp is 100 degrees! And after we have paid about $1000 out of pocket already between service calls, freon and spending a night in a hotel because it is as unbearable. And this does not even mention the hours I spend on the phone trying to finger out what was going on and when it was going to be fixed.
This whole process has been a nightmare, they are refusing to replace the unit been though it can't be fixed and it has taken over 2 weeks to even get this far. I do not recommend this company or AC Rescue. Please save yourself time and effort and go elsewhere! It even states in the contract that if it is determined that the AC can't be repaired it will be replaced but that's not true. They will find a way to not replace it or make you pay to replace it. And they have the worst customer service ever! I have spend an hour on the phone daily for the last several days and it gets me nowhere! Run, run far away from this company and do not recommend them. I certainly will not recommend them, I will warn others about their shady business practices and terrible customer service!
Jessica,
Thank you for providing Landmark Home Warranty with this feedback. This has been brought to the attention of our Claim Management Department. They will address this situation right away. I want to assure you that management is doing everything possible to ensure that our valued homeowners are taken care of within the warranty. In your complaint you advise that you are unsure why you would be responsible for replacing the indoor coil as what is in failure is your compressor. Landmark is willing to cover for your condensing unit, which is in failure. However, to replace the coil would be considered an upgrade, and Landmark's contract prohibits this. Landmark must remain within the warranty terms so as to be equitable to all homeowners. Additionally, Landmark is held to strict state regulation and we must adhere to the terms to meet said regulations.
I see that you are obtaining a second opinion before making a decision between the two options that have been provided to you. Please let us know what you decide, either the cash in lieu, or you can agree to the out of pocket costs, upgrade your indoor coil and we will replace the condensing unit.
Thank you,

Our A/C stopped working right a few days after we moved into our condo. Landmark sent out a tech from D&D mechanical that we had to pay for after hours or wait a few weeks. The tech who came out didn't do anything but look at the unit and said it looked okay. He didn't test anything or take anything apart. Landmark said from his report it looked like everything was working so they denied our claim. We opened another ticket and were told by Kortney ** that Landmark would dispatch someone else for a second opinion since our unit still wasn't working right. They referred us to Horizon who denied us as they couldn't come out for several weeks.
They then referred us to EcoAir. Upon coming out, the tech seemed pretty good. He pulled the unit apart, put it back together, ran a few tests and said he was recommending the unit be replaced because it wasn't cooling well. It has been over a month since the second opinion from EcoAir and Landmark still hasn't resolved our issue.
I have called, to no avail, and emailed two people about this. I got one reply from Jami ** who said the report from the tech noted a crack in the pan but that wasn't covered by warranty. I explained what the tech had told us and asked to see the report as we had been told by EcoAir that the unit should be replaced. I never heard back from Jami so I emailed Kortney. That was almost two weeks ago and I still haven't heard back. I just read the Google reviews of Landmark and found we are not the only ones to be dismissed and ignored so I emailed the two Online Reputation Managers who had responded to the negative comments. I am pleading with them for help. I will continue to leave negative reviews until this can be resolved because so far Landmark is a complete joke of a business.
Rebecca,
I have reviewed your claim to understand what has transpired. I see that you have had two service requests for your HVAC system. The first one indicated that there was no failure with your unit. Kortney send a second opinion to be sure, Eco Air and they came back and stated that again there is no failure with the unit.
Our contractors report to us usually via phone call, and in this circumstance, I do not have a report to provide you. You may ask them directly for that information.
In regards to a tech recommending replacement, that was never recommended to us. Our licensed and bonded independent contractors are our eyes and ears. They provide their professional opinion/diagnosis and from there we compare warranty coverage and approve or deny the claim based on the contract terms.
As Landmark only covers for mechanical failure due to normal wear and tear, this claim is closed as two contractors reported that there is no failure. I apologize that this has been frustrating for you. As a person, I wish I could help more. I am held to the contract terms in which they are written. We must remain equitable to all homeowners as mandated by state regulation.
Thank you for allowing me to review this.

We submitted a request on 08/01 for AC not blowing cool air. Contractor came on 08/04, with $70 service fee + $100 leak testing fee paid out of our pocket. Now (08/09) got notification that the claim is denied. For a hot summer in Texas, the temperature in the house average about 90s, so the slow response time is not acceptable.
The reason to deny the claim is even more ridiculousness, the AC is broken because of a leak in the evaporator coil. So it has nothing to do with the heating system. We do not need to repair anything in the heating system, but they denied our claim because our heating system is excluded from the contract. Read other reviews from this site and BBB, looks like this company is very good at coming up with various reasons to deny your claim. I am definitely switching to another company for home warranty and will make sure all of my friends hear my story.

When I got my house, it was 15 years old and the AC was already old. It was expected to break anytime, which was why I got a home warranty. I looked in Consumer Reports to see which home warranty pays up. Most of them do but they have bad reviews. Landmark's reviews were not that bad and they pay for some claims that other people don't. I had my AC and water heater repaired and submitting the claims was extremely easy. I gave Landmark a call and they always send a technician over. With the AC, they called me after hours which I didn't even expect. They also covered the installation but I need to upgrade based on the storage so it would be up to the code. That seems to be a lot of money and they told me to negotiate with the contractor themselves which I did and I got my price lowered.
Also, the techs are generally good. With the AC, I asked the guy to come and he thought the problem was the power box. I gave $70 or $100 but there was nothing wrong with the circuit box. The AC guy came again, then the electric tech came and said there's no problem. He kept trying and then the AC exploded. But Landmark said they'd pay for it. That was one month before expiring.
Landmark's price is lower than the first year I paid. The first year $450 and they kept having a $100 discount. So in the last two years, I've been paying $325. The AC install was 5,000 or 6,000 with the cost of labor and that was very pricey. With the water heater, I paid $600 or so but they pay for the heater and installation so it's about the same price. So, I've been making money. I'm surprised they actually pay for stuff because of all the reviews. They are definitely worthy of the shell out and they really did a good job. They went for their end of the bargain, they pay attention to their customer and the price is reasonable. I will buy their warranty again for sure.

The contractor that was servicing our house from a previous home warranty told me about Landmark. I switched to them because they offered other things like tune-ups and pest control, as well as rekeying when I move. When I submit a claim, the contractors have taken anywhere from one to three days at most to come out to our home after I call Landmark and tell them what I need.
We had a claim recently with our salt cell on our pool and we mentioned to the contractor that we had a birthday party planned that Saturday evening. He said as soon as he got the part he would be out there and he did. He was able to do it the morning of the party. He did everything he could to get out there with the part and take care of it. He even had his family in the car because he wasn't working. But instead of allowing him to take that part that he already had, Landmark wanted him to buy a whole cell, which took longer because they had to ship it to him. Also, when we bought our new house, we kept Landmark and we were requested to submit our inspection three times when we were told it was on file. They told us they needed it, then they said they didn't. It's like there was no communication between the claims people and it was very frustrating.

I've had Landmark Home Warranty for about three months now. To submit a claim, I just call the Landmark number, give the information of what's going on and possibly submit a picture of the product that broke. Then they would have the appliance fixers call me. The technicians have been pretty good. If there was something they could fix on the spot, they fix it through. If they need to get a part, they would get the part, take a couple of days and come back and fix it. Overall, Landmark is a pretty good product to have.

This was a huge disappointment! The first & only time I will ever pay for warranty. Filed a claim this morning and the plumber that was initially assigned to us unfortunately doesn't service our area (he mentioned this happens quite often). So I had to place another phone call that lasted 45 minutes so that a supervisor could update the ticket to switch the plumbers. No sense of urgency at this point with Landmark because it's not their basement that has water in it. Even though I stressed this a few times to the customer service agents.
The 2nd plumber that I was referred to stated that my coverage only pays for blockage within the foundation (9 times out of 10 it is past the foundation) so most likely I will have to pay for this out of pocket. Would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Landmark never provided us detailed coverage info until today. So why take my money without fully explaining this and wasting my time. I called an in town plumber and they arrived within the hour and charged me less than your deductible. I have worked in customer service for 18 years and know a poorly run company when I come across it. Buyers beware!!!

This company seems to find any excuse not to cover repairs. They minimize the high ticket cost items such as freon by only paying a small portion leaving the majority to the owner. They denied coverage for a repair to a grinder which is required for the public sewer system because it was not in the house. They only cover So many door lock changes. They do not cover garage door openers after the tech changes the opening numbers in the door opener. They did not cover replacement of an upstairs coil unit in the attic because one of the outside condenser coils appeared to have some hail damage.
The techs that they send out appear to be very inferior in experience and knowledge. The A/C tech comes out on a Saturday of which I had to pay the half time of time and half only to immediately put in two pounds of freon and a leak dye of which the warranty company only covers $20.00 per pound. He checked the coils in the attic and reported that all is well.
Called back on Sunday because the problem was not fixed. The tech comes out on Monday and goes immediately upstairs in the attic with a machine that did not detect leak dye and says, "Your unit is leaking and needs to be replaced" after I already spent $187,50 for needless freon. Then the A/C Company tried to tell the warranty company that it had been leaking longer than the service policy. If so, why did the first tech not see it? They need to be in the clairvoyance business! Besides leaving us in heat 90 degrees + for nearly two weeks. This is disgustingly not worth one penny spent for this service. If you purchase look at what they do not cover first!

I purchased a house and the seller included a home warranty with Landmark in the purchase deal. Submitting a claim is just a phone call and it's been fine with their rep. The first claim I had was for the furnace and I was home when the tech came. That was a good experience but the furnace had to be replaced which wasn't covered. So I ended up paying on that one. Landmark should have been taken care of it due to maintenance. Also, the technician that came said that Landmark should have paid an amount in lieu of the part that didn't get replaced but I had no success in getting anything out of Landmark at all. I was a little disappointed in that.
The second claim was when I thought the water heater was leaking and it turned out not to be the water heater so I just had to pay the techs the deductible for checking it out. The leak was actually coming from the air conditioning system so I paid the second deductible to have them come out and fix that which they did. Overall, Landmark has done a satisfactory job and they always get me when they say they will.

You need to try to do the right thing by your customer not hide behind policy. The pool pump seized, the capacitor blew the cover off and you should cover it. PERIOD. I don't understand your policy at all. I've read it. This is normal wear/tear.

Contacted Landmark (LHW) 5-29-17 to service problem where apparently condensate was leaking from the bottom of my horz central AC unit. LHW dispatched a contractor who assumed the external condensate line was plugged, writing: "...cleared primary drain line with nitrogen. Water is able to flow normally now". Did not solve the problem. Water appeared again and called contractor back. This time I was told the freon was low and this was causing excessive condensate. Paid to have freon added. 3rd time, contractor discussed possibilities of negative air flow to unit drawing water past internal collection pan. Finally, owner(?) concluded that the condensate line was improperly installed and backing water up into the unit. I connected a different line and water spillage continued. Told LHW external condensate line was not the problem; send another contractor. LHW offered that if new contractor found a different problem, my service fee would be refunded.
New contractor found the internal condensate collection pan to be cracked on 7-17-17, first visit, which LHW says they don't cover. BUT they also refused to refund the new service fee "because the internal collection pan and the [external] condensate line are connected". That was NOT the agreement - they agreed to refund the $70 if I was correct about the external condensate line not being the problem - I told them repeatedly the external line was not the problem and offered to install a camera in my unit to prove it. After 7 weeks (this review is on 7-22-17), my unit still leaks and has probably suffered irreparable internal water damage. I sent an email to the service rep assigned that this performance is totally unacceptable and that I expected ALL my service fees related to this problem to be refunded. I also demanded to speak to the supervisor about the unsat service. To date there has been no response.

Original Review: July 21, 2017
First I don't need a response from your "Online Reputation Manager" because they are biased to downplay the experiences being shared by reviewers. We have been fighting for a replacement of our heat pump for MONTHS! We paid for a serviceman to diagnose our broken unit. He says it's on its way out and any repairs would not last long. Landmark sends another company due to the findings of the first who comes and "fixed" the unit, no parts replaced, just overcharged The system and bypasses a critical switch to rig it to work for The time being. The unit breaks down again and again. They send a company that claims the same as the first, it needs to be replaced and repairs won't last long.
I write to the manager and get a great response that indeed they talked with the company and the repairs won't last so we will start the process of getting a new unit. Hurray at last! But a week later they had again changed back to the repair story and it will still cost us $$$ for the Freon out of our pocket. My wife is having freaking panic attacks over this nightmare. We pay a fee for every time we get a second option. This Warranty is junk. Do not purchase it. They have denied other issues with appliances claiming they had pre-existing conditions. It's a scam and they just want your $$$.
With all the letters I have written I have concluded that there is no moral foundation at the core of this companies operations and they should be ashamed. Not sure who to blame except the owners for negligent in having clear business ethics to run a "service" company. They are anything but servants. I hope the repair works and all this was for nothing but that doesn't change the fact that promises were broken and doing the right thing doesn't matter. Again. Online Reputation Manager. You can try to protect the reputation with your responses, but it won't bring anything but further confusion to those seeking the truth.

I have had Landmark for almost 2 years. Each and every time, I wait approximately 40 minutes on hold. They ALWAYS say the same thing... "This is our busy time..." no matter when you call. But this was the final straw. My A/C went out... I live in Arizona and it's 116 degrees in the summer. According to them, the vendor they send me should call within 3-4 hours to schedule. That never happened. I had to leave 4 messages for Vintage Air over 3 days and got no response. I called Landmark again (and yes, waited almost 40 minutes again). They tried to reach Vintage Air themselves and even they couldn't and said they would call me when they did reach them. 2 days went by with no response.
I called Vintage Air again and finally got a live person. She said that Landmark had cancelled the claim because Vintage couldn't respond. I was never told this nor was I given a different vendor to deal with by Landmark. I told her to put me back on the schedule and she said that it would take them until the following week to come out, they would come between 1 - 5 pm. On that day at 5 pm (with no sign of Vintage Air or a phone call) I called again. She told me they would be at my place at 6 pm.
The guy showed up at nearly 7 pm because she had never scheduled anyone to my house until I called them at 5 pm. (keep in mind that Landmark gave me a vendor that is nearly 2 hours away from where I live) The tech did not have what he needed to repair my A/C and I went back on the list to be scheduled (note: the warranty was only going to cover $40 of an $800 repair and I had already paid $60 for the service call). I WAS DONE... I hired my own A/C person who answered the phone, came out within 24 hours and was $350 cheaper! When I called Landmark to complain and get my money back because I pay full price for full service and got nothing! They told me too bad, it's busy time and that's that.

I went online to make a service claim on this home warranty. My A/C had gone caput on a home I own and lease in Buckeye, AZ. They accepted my claim, gave me a claim number, had a claims agent call. And then, when she'd gathered all of the information about my claim and policy, she put me on hold while she submitted her new data. She came back and told me that my policy had been canceled. I'm a pretty conscientious record keeper. My account was on "auto-pay" and the credit card I used was canceled by my credit union because the account information had been compromised.
I can't swear to this, but to my knowledge I did not receive any request for a new card number or any notification that the policy would be canceled if I didn't pay my premiums. I notice that Landmark Home Warranty has quite a few complaints by customers. I just want customers to know that my experience was unsatisfactory. If my policy had been canceled, why was I able to file a claim online? Why did I get a call back from an agent? It cost me about $400 more to fix the AC than it would have to have paid the back payments due. Landmark promised to have an agent call me the next day to see if my policy could be restored. That call never happened, either.
Hello Richard,
I am sorry to hear of your recent frustrations with not being able to open a service request. Back in February, the monthly payment failed to process. One month later the payment failed again. I am sorry to hear about your card issue.
Because Landmark did not hear from you with updated card information, your contract was put on hold and then cancelled. It has been 5 months since Landmark received a payment from you. I understand that you did not notice that your payment was not being deducted each month for the last 5 months. Unfortunately it is our policy to not reinstate coverage once your policy is cancelled.
Per your Total Protection Warranty Plan: Section G. - Cancellation:
#1 - LHW may not cancel this Contract during the initial term for which it was issued, except for any of the following reasons:a. Contract Holder does not pay a fee or charge due under the terms of this Contract.
b. Contract Holder engages in fraud or misrepresentation of facts material to the issuance of the Contract.
c. Upon mutual agreement between you and LHW.
d. If you harass, harm, or threaten the safety or well being of any employee of LHW, our independent contractors, or any property of LHW or of our independent contractors.

I purchased a home warranty for my single daughter through Landmark Home Warranty. I got online and selected her appliances I wanted to cover and the 12 month period I also wanted to cover. Landmark asks for my daughter's email, as they will be dealing with her. They accept my credit card; everything seems on the up and up. Landmark claims they sent my daughter the end of the year renewal notice. The notice should say something to the effect of: If you want to continue your home warranty for a year you should contact us immediately to avoid interruption.
That's not what they do. Like most shyster companies that try to bilk you for more greenbacks, Landmark continues to charge my card and may send a notice to my daughter of the policy will go on for infinity... C'mon, Landmark! That is the oldest trick in the book. Most consumers are not going to catch the error until four or five months later, and guess what, consumers? No refunds. Well, what Landmark doesn't know is that I have two policies with them, and I am canceling both. So who got the last word? Not them...

My first attempt to use them was because after we bought our home when we would shower the power breaker would trip. They said it wasn't covered but the website said it did so then they did cover it but wouldn't fix it. They would only move the fan to a new location but wouldn't fix the hole if they moved it. They disconnected the fan but the breaker still trips. I opened up the fan and found a wire touching metal and fixed it myself and it took 3 week to get someone out to look at it. They say they were out boating on vacay.
My 2nd attempt was my water heater is going out but their solution was to turn the heater all the way up. Now my kids burn their hands and we only get a few minutes of hot water. My 3rd attempt was my dishwasher turns off randomly after starting. They came and fixed it but broke the handle so now it won't close. They say it's between me and the contractor. And the contractor say Landmark needs to open claim. So it back and forth who to blame. Every time they come out it cost $60.

The home warranty service was purchased for the purpose to assist in the case that there may some unforeseen problems with a home purchase. It turns out the water heater gave out within six months of the purchase of the home and of the Landmark home warranty. The initial consult was about $35 dollars for any new claim. After I paid the $35 dollars claim fee, I find out that my cost after their coverage would be greater than $800.00. It was a real disappointment, to find out this company was worthless and a big waste of money and time. After finding out it would cost over $800.00 to have a new water heater installed, I decided to have this problem resolved in a different way and not bother with the home warranty that was already paid for.
Shortly thereafter submitted another claim to have the air conditioners checked and serviced. This was right around December in Nevada. I was anticipating for the hot weather and wanted to make sure that I would have some air conditioning for the hot summer. The air conditioner specialist came and checked the unit and (I believe) replaced 2 filters. I paid the $35 dollars that I was told would be the cost for this service. After the fact, about one week later, they call and say I owe another $35 dollars because there was 2 units in the same house. The house is approx. 2350 square feet, 2 story, single family house. The Landmark Home Warranty goes back on their word about the fee after the fact. I can't imagine there is another company that is as worthless as them!!!
Hello Patricia,
I am sorry to hear of the frustrations with your water heater and A/C claims. I can understand that it is very disappointing to have unexpected costs.
The additional cost for the water heater replacement covered the out of pocket costs. There were modifications required that were listed as exclusions in your contract.
In regards to your A/C tune-up, Landmark followed the parameters of the contract.
Per your Essential Plan Warranty Contract:
AIR CONDITIONING* TUNE-UPCOVERED: For the applicable service call fee, LHW will perform one
air conditioner tune-up as follows: calibrate thermostat; test temperature
split; check refrigerant levels and system pressures; perform amp draw on
condenser and evaporator motors and compressor; clean condenser coils;
check contractors; check condensate lines; clean and tighten electrical
connections; test capacitors; and test safety switches.
NOTE: In the event a Contract Holder places an additional service requestwhile the contractor is performing a tune-up at their home, the Contract
Holder is required to pay an additional service call fee.
LIMITS: Tune-ups are covered for one unit. Contract Holder will beresponsible to pay the service contractor $30 for each additional unit.
In the Limits section it states that tune-up are covered for one unit and that an additional fee is required for each additional unit.
I am sorry that this was not made clear when you placed the service request. I am able to pull the call and review the service request for training purposes.

There needs to be a better process for your HVAC clients. We live in the desert and have paid for my home warranty for 2 years now. One of the few times I need it, I called for 2 days to get them to change to a HVAC contractor that can come out next day, stating each time we have 2 babies and pets in our home. I was told because of the weekend no one would respond when they called around (this was Saturday), until Monday, although I called around and there were contractors that were willing to come out on Sunday! To get through the next week, we are all sleeping in one room (we are a family of 8). Then today my daughter's 2 chinchillas died from the heat. On top of that we still have to wait until Thursday for anyone to come out. Our renewal is up in September and we will not be renewing through this company.
I am so sorry to hear about this situation. I know the heat makes an already rough situation even worse. I checked in our system and I see that we ended up reimbursing you for services.

Absolutely horrible experience with Landmark. Spare yourself the grief, frustration, time, and money really! Purchased home warranty with the purchase of our home and have used their service 3 times. Each time it takes several days for a contractor to come out. When they finally do make it out, they are subpar and will completely gouge you. We have essentially paid Landmark $70 each time to send someone out and have them tell us Landmark isn't going to cover the repairs or at best, will cover a tiny portion of the repairs.
We paid for the upgraded comprehensive plan that seemingly covered all and so far has covered almost nothing. On top of the $550 for the plan, we have spent $210 in copays, and $2000 in uncovered repairs. Additionally, we went 5 days without hot water and are currently on day 13 without air conditioning (IN SOUTH TEXAS) after spending $1300 (of previously mentioned $2000) for repairs and maintenance on day 4. Maintenance we were told (by both contractor and Landmark) must be done as our part before Landmark would step in and cover any further/necessary repairs. Repairs that we are now being told Landmark will not cover. We are now having to call another AC company which we could have done 13 days and $1370 dollars ago. We are only 3 months into our 12 month contract with Landmark but we will NEVER call them again.

They Hide Behind Invalid Exclusions and False Claim Closings. Had a leaking toilet. Landmark sent plumber and when the plumber arrived, Landmark closed the claim. When the plumber found two things wrong, Landmark refused to pay for the second item saying it was a new claim and the service fee had to be paid again. I fought that and eventually got their management to admit the Claims Manager was wrong. Then I had a dishwasher go out with a cracked tub. Landmark said the tub was a lining and therefore excluded under their contract. I pointed out to them that the definition of a tub and the dictionary definition of a lining were totally different and the exclusion didn't apply. Landmark said "too bad, we are still not going to pay." I am now a former customer and suggest no one use them.
I apologize for your frustrating claim experience. I do understand that you disagree with the wording and definition within the contract. I understand that it has been upsetting to find out your item is not covered under your warranty. It is very frustrating to have expenses that you did not plan for. I apologize that Landmark has not met your expectation of service on this claim. I want to assure you that management has done everything possible to ensure that your claim was thoroughly reviewed and the result taken was within the warranty.

AC went out. Called Landmark. Submitted a ticket online. Told we would be contacted by a service company. Never happened. Turns out that company was over 100 miles away and would not serve us (had to find that our ourselves - no proactive notification from Landmark). Had to then spend numerous hours waiting to talk to a customer service rep (average wait time 30 minutes). On the first call, the rep told me that they needed to find a new contractor and the ticket would be turned over to that department. No response for a day, so I call again.
This time, they tell me they are working on it. Another day, I call again. They have dispatched the original company that said they wouldn't serve us in the first place. (That makes us feel real confident). Next we research this company that they have dispatched... Not a reputable company. Ended up canceling the claim and paying to get our AC fixed by someone we can trust. This very same process has happened 3 times with Landmark. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING.
I am very sorry to hear about the poor experience with your claim. I am uncertain what happened, but I will look into this issue on Monday and make sure that management is made aware of your circumstances. Your service request will be researched and reviewed. You are welcome to contact me directly.

We just moved into a house and called Landmark to get someone out for our A/C, since it was not working properly. The person came out and was able to adjust a couple of wires to get it functioning properly, but then it quit again. He came back out and had to replace a small part, which got approved over the phone. It started working again, and then failed once more. Another guy came out the same day and said the compressor is out and the whole system should really be replaced, which is true. I called Landmark, and it took almost two weeks for them to actually get back to me with an answer, after me calling nearly every day and sitting on hold. I almost never talked to the same person more than once, and when I was given direct extensions to call specific people, they never answered.
Finally they tell me yesterday that, because there was some miswiring noted on the original report, they will not cover the replacement. I have the Advantage plan, so they will send me $250 and that's it. So after two weeks of no answers and no A/C in the ridiculous summer heat, I'm being told that I have to pay for a new heat pump. I thought the whole point of having a warranty was in case something like this happens. Clearly Landmark does not care about 'making my day remarkable' unless they mean remarkably bad. I just bought a house so don't have the money for this kind of replacement right now, and am absolutely furious and disgusted at this company.
I am very sorry to hear about the way your A/C claim went. I can understand why you are frustrated.

We are first-time homeowners and this insurance company was recommended to us by the home inspection company we used. The home air conditioning system quit working right in the middle of 118 degrees heat so I called Landmark to request a service person to be sent over to the house. I dealt with a woman, after holding on the phone for over 25 minutes, she was helpful and told me that a service person will call me between 3 to 4 hours and suggested I call the service provider also to let them know about my air conditioning problems. 4 hours went by still no call from the technician so I contacted Landmark who gave me another excuse saying that the three or four hour wait time is actually 5 to 7 hours and does not include weekends.
Not wanting to deal with the heat over the weekend I contacted Atomic Air Conditioning service and they came out to my house and fix the problem within an hour and a half. The second person I spoke to at Landmark Home Warranty did not seem to care about my problem, told me that it was not her problem and did not seem to want to work with me.
Landmark Home Warranty to me is useless, useless company and once my policy is over I will not renew and I will suggest to anybody to go shopping elsewhere. Now I have to call once again and see if I can get my $65 service fee refunded back to me, which they promptly took right away at the beginning of the first phone call. Money-hungry operation. Do not bother with this company. My next review will be with Talegen Mechanical Services which is the service company Landmark uses to fix air conditioning problems in the Mesa, Arizona area. They will also get a bad review for me because I never got a phone call from them either.

The experience has been nothing short of terrible. First, I had elective issues causing switches and wall plates to heat up beyond a temp you could touch them. It was urgent and they wouldn't cover it because I wouldn't wait until one of their contractors could come out. Then, we had water in the basement due to leaky windows, also not something they would look at.
The worst so far is the "preseason tuneup" that I requested bc the AC units weren't working correctly. Their contractor came out and said it was due to lack of maintaining with paint spray in the coils and blower motor and offer to "clean it up and get it working" for 1700.00 but we were on our own. We called an independent contractor and what do you know, the blower motor and coils in both units are fine. One unit has no coolant (all leaked out) and was not functioning at all - nothing that 1700 cleaning would have fixed. This is the short list of what "can't be covered" - the other plumbing and vac items don't seem worth the time it would take to type them here. Below is the photo of the "function" of the unit their contractor told us needed to be cleaned and would "fine".

We bought a house and our real estate agent said that Landmark Home Warranty was the best to go with. When we submit a claim to them, they have a very friendly service and are customer-oriented. They are also very nice on the phone and easy to deal with. And after I call them, it's usually two and a half to 3 hours by the time the contractor gets back to me. They are usually out in 2-3 days. Our claim the last time was for our refrigerator and the tech came out to replace the heater coil in it. The technician was great, really friendly and got the work done right away. And even though he wasn't able to do the repair the same day due to the parts, everything was perfect. It was an excellent experience.

I changed to Landmark Home Warranty and have remained with them because they try hard to resolve claims. I am retired military USMC, living in the peaceful countryside, so it is difficult to have service people willing to come out here. Being an old man and after three wars, I can't get on or off my knees to fix things anymore. My PREVIOUS home warranty company would tell me: Find someone and we'll reimburse you if the price is right. So I found LANDMARK Home Warranty. No disappointment. Landmark always does the impossible, time and time again: they find the service people to resolve my claim and help me enjoy autumn of my life worry free.

My realtor told me about Landmark Home Warranty and they had the best deal with the most coverage. They've been starting to do the claims online more so I go online, log in, click submit claim and give a brief description of what's going on. I had the AC tune up and our shower temperature thing needed to be fixed. Hearing back from the tech usually takes only one or two days, but this time it took quite a few days. When I hadn't heard from the contractor, they called to see if I had anything scheduled up. I told them no and they called them right away. I then heard from the contractor and they came shortly after that.
The schedule was supposed to be in an hour and they called before that. The tech came and checked the shower first since he wasn't 100% sure what exactly was going on there. He didn't have the parts, so he said he'd have to order them. He then did the AC tune up and said everything was good. They ordered parts and as soon as they get the parts, they'll come and finish fixing up, but the shower is working. Overall, Landmark Home Warranty has always been very friendly as well as easy and great to work with.

After two separate heating and AC companies inspected my furnace and AC unit, I was told by both that my furnace was shot. Shortly afterward the AC stopped working. Since the temperatures were reaching the high 80s and low 90s I contacted Landmark to make a claim. I was frustrated that Landmark would not allow me to use one of the two companies I had worked with before and insisted I use their contractor. That, to me, is a red flag. The contractor took a week to come out to my home to assess the AC problem. This was during days of 90 degree temps which made it very uncomfortable in our home and sleeping very difficult at night.
Once they diagnosed the problem as a bad blower motor it took several more days to get it replaced. They wouldn't even look at the furnace, which I had listed in the original claim with Landmark. The contractor also convinced my wife I needed to clean the AC coils for $300, not covered by the warranty. I had another AC guy look at it and tell me the coils didn't need cleaning so we canceled that order. This seemed to confirm my initial concerns about not using a contractor I'm familiar with and trust.
In the end, they got my AC working for which I am appreciative and it was covered by the warranty. However, I know for a fact I'm going to have furnace problems this winter and I'm not happy that I have to wait until winter when it keeps shutting off and the burner wont' stay ignited, to make that claim again. If the furnace is bad, why must it wait? The overall service by Landmark and its contractor was friendly and good, but I felt ignored regarding my other concerns with the furnace.

My last home warranty policy was with American Home Shield and after dealing with Landmark I should have stayed with them instead of letting the realtor choose Landmark. I moved in on the 9th of June 2017 and 2 wks after moving in we noticed a leak from the bottom of the baseboard by the shower. Contacted Landmark and of course they sent out one of their own contractors to do the initial inspection of the master shower. After inspection plumber stated he cannot see where the leak was coming from and the only way to find out was to break the tile and access the wall. Well Landmark will not cover access only repair to the leak if in fact it is covered. So if the leak is covered then tile replacement is on me to cover. So what is the point of the warranty?
Initial call was bad with rude customer service and the denial of the claim was handled in a very inexperienced manner. Sadly this company is not one I would recommend and after telling this to my realtor they will not refer or advise clients to use this company. How does one say we will fix your leak but nothing else? Also nowhere in the policy does it state such a thing and I initially called to see what the coverage was before filing an official claim and the info I was give then was contradicting to what is being said now. Representative today pretty much said "Sucks for you, so go pay your homeowners insurance deductible". BBB will get a review and complaint filing along with any other source I can use.

Landmark does get significant discounts through our suppliers. Per the warranty, the Cash In Lieu is based on the cost of the unit that Landmark would pay. I can understand that this was disappointing. I am sorry that we could not do more for you. We do value you as a homeowner and hope you will reconsider allowing us to serve you in your warranty needs.

This service request left me disappointed in both the sub, High Mountain Drain, as well as the Landmark Warranty company. The subcontractor we were assigned was either unfamiliar, incapable (or both) of running their own equipment. After 30 minutes of trying to get the machine started they stuck it in the drain and just let it spin for over an hour to no avail. After that we were told the drain could not be cleared and that we would have to hire another plumber to video-scope the drain. Skeptical of their efforts and overall ability we had to call and pay (out of our own pocket) another plumber who was able to clear the drain within 15 minutes of their arrival.
I called Landmark to follow up and see what they would do to make things right and it was a hassle; un-returned phone calls, delayed email responses and all they did was refund the Landmark service call. What we paid our plumber was left on us. This repair is exactly why we bought the premium home warranty, and I feel like it failed us. The repair is clearly covered by the warranty and could have been successfully handled by a different contractor, we just got a bad one. I tried to have Landmark send a different sub but they wouldn't unless we wanted to pay to open another service request. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, just not very helpful once they were tasked with something that I hope was our unique experience as far as having to deal with a dud sub.

We called on May 24th because our water line on our refrigerator was making a terrible noise. It is now July 2, and after two service calls and waiting for approval for parts, our refrigerator still is not working. This is our 3rd different claim with Landmark and each time it is a nightmare getting service. Our refrigerator should be replaced and we have paid for a warranty for just such a situation, but that will never happen. They will just keep replacing parts and making us wait a month or more for a working appliance. This should never happen to a policy owner.

Jenn-Air cook top problem: First vendor (Husky Services) referred by Landmark was sent to evaluate the problem and informed me parts to fix unit were no longer available. I settled claim with Landmark for $245.00. I then went on-line to the Jenn-Air website and located a replacement part and ordered said part from “Repair Clinic.com”. When part was received and installed unit still did not heat rear element, problem not solved.
I then went on the internet again seeking Jenn-Air service in Las Vegas and located “Mr. Appliance” whose technician evaluated the problem on (6/15/2017) and informed me the problem is in the switch and the cost will be $369.92 for parts and labor which I paid with my check #**. He will return on the 21st and fix unit. Said switch was the cause of the rear element burning out and needing to be replaced.
This claim through Landmark was not handled well, little effort on the companies' part to find the qualified company to address my problem was lacking. So at this point I'm out $60.00 for a service call to “Husky” which did not fix anything and a new expenditure of $369.92 for parts and labor for a total of $429.92. It is my feeling that Landmark did not fully investigate vendors in Las Vegas to find one equipped to evaluate and solve my problem.
As relates to the $245.00, that is the sum Landmark settled my claim for after not being able to find either parts or a Jenn-Air facility in Las Vegas. I used these funds to purchase a Jenn-Air replacement heater coil as stated above. However I am still out $369.92 as of this date. I feel this claim and repair were not handled at all well at Landmark's end.
Thank you for giving Landmark this opportunity to address your concerns regarding your cook-top repair. I apologize that Landmark has not met your expectation of service on this claim.

I've filed 3 claims with Landmark Home Warranty and had a similar experience with all. The staff at Landmark is friendly. They check in frequently to find out the status of a claim; however, if the staff member doesn't reach me on the first try, they don't check phone or email messages before making a follow-up phone call. I am giving Landmark the same information multiple times in different formats in a 2-3 day period. If I don't physically speak to the Landmark staff member in charge of my case, then I might as well not waste my time. I'm not sure where Landmark finds the companies they send out, but their sense of urgency and scheduling flexibility is severely lacking.
I owned a home less than 3 miles from my current home for the last 10 years, so I am familiar with the wait times for technicians to respond to a call in this area. A week wait time just to get an appointment for someone to confirm there is a problem followed by another week or more for them to come back and fix the problem is not typical. While the technicians have been friendly and knowledgeable, I would not rehire ANY of the companies they have sent to me due to this.

The AC in my house was not cooling and hence I had raised this ticket 3 weeks ago. Though the technician from the contracting company came 3 times, he was not able to fix the issue. Each of the time, the reason given for the same issue was something different. I requested Landmark to assign this request to some other contractor because this one had failed to fix it twice previously. But they didn't listen to me. Even though I was without AC for 6 continuous days during which the temperature was consistently 115+, they did not offer any hotel accommodation like other companies do. I finally got an independent contractor to fix the issue at my cost, which he did in a couple of hours. All the Landmark agent could offer was an apology, no solution. I am extremely disappointed at their level of service.

Regarding one specific issue, I feel that I was placed in a very bad position and the policy was not clear as to the process nor the payout. I ended up getting reimbursed only the cost for the parts as a pay out of the total loss. I asked for multiple people to escalate and review again and again. However the best they were able to do was replace my $700 machine with a $300 check. I now cannot afford to replace it nor can I afford to fix it. So this will have to go into a savings account to wait until I have enough money to resolve this issue on my own. In the interim I am stuck with the machine that does not drain properly nor washes dishes properly and is simply sitting there. I am extremely disappointed in how this played out.

Our A/C went out on June 3. Landmark assigned D & D Mechanical who called fairly quickly to schedule an appointment. They showed up on time and were polite but only spent 5 minutes finding the problem. That's where the good part ended. They took 1 week to send their diagnosis to Landmark although Landmark requires they send it by 48 hours. Our claims manager, Ryan, never contacted us at all. I only found out we had one by another rep mentioning it when I called to find out what was going on. I called every day because no one ever called me with an update. Even if they said they would call back, they never did. When I did call, it was always the same scripted nonsense that they'll do all they can to help you but they don't.
Once, one of the reps actually sounded sincere and would make an effort to do something and she would contact the person in charge of contractor relations and then call me the next day with an update. Well, she never called me. I think she did contact Contractor Relations but nothing came of it because their contractor, D & D, was still horrible. Once we approved the repairs, we waited a week for D & D to call and make an appointment with us to do the repairs. Actually, it would've been longer than a week because they never called! Landmark tried to call them, I tried to call them, but D & D only answers their phone maybe 1 out of 100 calls.
After 2 1/2 weeks since the diagnosis and 3 weeks since our A/C first went out, it was looking like this was going to drag out forever so we told Landmark forget it, we're canceling our contract, and we called and paid for an A/C company on our own (who we called Thursday, they came out Friday and fixed it). We had asked Ryan twice if we could switch contractors because D & D wasn't fulfilling their contract and Landmark refused to let us. Ryan's excuse was that it would push it back even further. We've already waited this long, a couple more days to actually get someone who will work, wouldn't matter!
After telling Ryan we're canceling he said someone from the Retention team would call. Got a call 2 days later, on Friday, and was offered cash in lieu of the repairs they didn't do if we will stay with them, IF there is no restocking charge on the parts D & D has already supposedly gotten. The rep said she'd check on that and call me back. Here it is Tuesday night and still no call, big surprise. Now I need to call and cancel our contract and I have a feeling that will be a nightmare as well.
By the way, they charged our credit card for the service call fee on the 3rd. Before they even came to diagnose the problem! Landmark is quick to take your money but not quick to do much else! Separate issue, we were double charged in April when we renewed. After 2 days of calling and leaving messages, someone called me back and told me "You're a month ahead, I'll fix it in our system so it doesn't charge you again until July". Well, big surprise again, our credit card was just charged for this month. Landmark doesn't keep their promises, doesn't return calls, uses the worst contractors. Just stay far, far away from them.

This has been the worst customer service ever. It has been over 2 weeks in a Texas summer of 90+ degrees and our AC is still broken. This company contracts the most incompetent contractors to do their work. This causes several issues - one is that the contractor makes an incorrect diagnosis on the first visit, and then Landmark charges you for the second visit because "it is a different diagnosis." We have had 5 or 6 contractors come out, with several different "diagnoses" and still have not had it repaired. The second issue is that the contractors will diagnose things that cost you money out-of-pocket due to it not being a "covered cost" under the warranty, and the issue will still not be resolved.
First, they wouldn't cover a wire that needed replacing because they thought it may have been broken for another reason other than "normal wear and tear." This almost cost $750 out of pocket because we requested our own AC repairman to come out. Now, they will not pay for a leak test or for a majority of the refrigerant for the AC unit - another $300 out of pocket.
The 3rd issue with incompetent contractors is that they don't keep their appointments. We have had several appointments (made by the contractors) which they were unable to keep. The first one, we scheduled to be home all day during the time frame, and found out the girl never set an appointment! We have had to have family or friends watch the house for 6 hours to try to have someone there during the large time period. The contractor will either end up calling to cancel or won't call at all! Not to mention, our poor dog is in this 90 degree house all day. Please help!
I apologize for the late response on this complaint. I see that it was submitted on 6/19 but did not post until 7/1. In review of our system notes, I see that much has happened since this initial complaint. Regardless, I am very sorry that you had to deal with this frustration in the first place.

We found Landmark Home Warranty through our escrow company. So far, I've been able to file several claims very easily and haven't had any problems whatsoever. However, I've had several problems with the technicians, but everything's been fine. Once the year has passed, I will keep up with Landmark. I am happy with them and I would use them again.

We were buying a new home and Landmark Home Warranty was recommended by our realtor and so we went with them. I submitted my first claim to them for AC repair by telephone. I talked to somebody from Landmark, gave them the details and they opened a ticket and got an email back. Thereafter, they gave me the name of the company that they referred my claim to and said I should hear from that company within 48 hours to set up an appointment. They also gave me information to contact them back if I had not heard from that company within that window.
The technician was on time and addressed the problem pretty quickly. He explained what they were doing to me and how they were going to fix the problem. However, within 30 days, I was having another issue so, I called them back and they returned within the same ticket but I think it was a different issue. Still, I don't think the technician did anything to look at the health of the AC system. The first time, there was a problem with the capacitor and they repaired that. I would have preferred that they did a bit of tidying up such as checking the refrigerant levels because when I called them back, the refrigerant levels were low and that should have been caught the first time. Nevertheless, Landmark treats claims fairly. They were responsive and were able to fix the problem.
Thank you for providing feedback and a rating on your HVAC service experience. We appreciate all comments and assure you that the concerns will be addressed with the correct departments.

Had A/C go out in June in South Texas in mid-June. Called Landmark who sent contractor. After multiple visits over the course of 9 days, contractor diagnosed faulty blower motor. Since my A/C has a zone controller installed, Landmark insisted that the blower motor was not a covered part. Note the zone controller is an accessory; the blower motor is a mandatory part of an A/C system.
I called another contractor for a 2nd opinion. Within about 20 minutes, 2nd contractor determined blower motor was fine, but control board was faulty. Again, another integral part of the system. Note the control panel takes signals from the thermostat and sends them to the zone controller, compressor, blower, and other parts of the A/C system. After escalating to 2 different supervisors, was told that since it connects to the zone controller, it falls under the exclusions reference of the contract. Very frustrated. Unknown how far Landmark will extend their definition of connection to an excluded component. Will not be renewing and will definitely not recommend Landmark to other customers.
I am sorry that your claim did not go as expected. I assure you that Landmark is doing everything possible to ensure that our valued homeowners are taken care of within the parameters of the warranty. I know it is frustrating when something needing repair, is not listed as a covered item under the warranty. I appreciate you providing feedback on your claim. I hope you will reconsider using Landmark and allow us to provide an excellent service experience in the future.

We had Landmark Warranty with the house that we bought. Four out of five times that we've called them, it’s been great. There’s just one incident where the technician came out and said the water heater needed to be replaced. That turned out to be not true. I did some research on my own. It was a thermostat going bad. I swapped the thermostat on my own and it works fine. So, that was the only time we ever had a technician try and sell us on something that wasn’t true. Everything else has been very smooth, ‘cause we’ve called mostly pretty late at night for stuff and they’ve always sent someone here. It’s always worked well. They’ve been professional and they always answer the phone. And everything’s worked like they said.

I submitted a service request via e-mail on Monday morning, June 12th about my air conditioner not working. Landmark gave me the name of a contractor to call. When I called the contractor they told me they never received a work order from Landmark. This company is also 100 miles away from the city on which we live. We called Landmark Monday evening and said the quickest a contractor could come would be Thursday morning.
Today, Thursday, I receive a call from the contractor and they say they can't come until Monday. I called Landmark to see if they have another contractor that could come today. Of course they did not have one. I live in midland Texas. It will be 105 degrees today and 106 tomorrow. I asked if they or I could get a company that wasn't in their network. Said I could get another contractor if I wanted to pay them. I told them if they cared about customer service they would let me get another contractor and Landmark could pay them. Of course not!! I talked to three different people and all they EVER say is "I understand your frustration but we cannot do anything else". Oh and also even though they send someone out next Tuesday they may not be able to repair it depending on getting any parts, and what is covered.
I would like for their management to spend over a week or more in a house in midland Texas with no air conditioner when the temperature is over 100 every day. This isn't the first bad experience we have had with Landmark. We have been a customer for five years and there have been issues every single time! They don't have enough contractors. I think they hope people will get so tired of dealing with them they will just pay for repairs themselves. Their advertisements should indicate that it can take weeks before they get anything done. Customer service people saying over and over again they understand your frustration is ridiculous!!! That doesn't solve your issues!! I hope people will read this review and realize what they are ACTUALLY purchasing.
I am sorry to hear about this repair situation. I appreciate you providing feedback and allowing us to improve our services. I would like to have my team work on expediting the repair for you. You should hear from someone shortly.

I started this experience on 05/18/2017. Called Landmark Home Warranty and advised that I was not getting any hot water. They said they would send someone out to diagnose it. I get a call the next day from NB Plumbing to schedule. NB Plumbing cant come out until the 22nd. I agreed to wait. When the plumber gets here, he takes 5 seconds, doesn't look at the meter (which was stuck in vacation mode), and says the issue is that I am missing an "Expansion Tank". Charges me $150 to "get me up to code". I pay him and wait 24 hours. 24 hours later, still no hot water. Still stuck in vacation mode.
I call Landmark again, advising them that I do not want the same rep as he did not even do his job. They advise they will email my claims manager to request another company. I get a call from NB Plumbing again on the 26th, they can only "fit me in" on 06/02. I ask if they can help me any sooner, and she says she will call me back if possible "cancellations" create an opening. I don't hear anything back, and end up waiting until June 2nd. On that day, the SAME REP comes out. He then decides to look into the actual issue and decides that it needs a Gas Valve replacement. He requests them to order the part and advises that I will be called soon to schedule the appointment for repair.
Due to the weekend again, I do not get a call until the 5th. What they tell me is that due to the amount of the Gas Valve, they are just going to replace my entire unit. They then set the appointment ANOTHER WEEK OUT for 06/12. At this point I have already contacted Landmark and advised of my frustration, and after confirming that they will take a look at the case, nothing has happened. So I am now just waiting.
I wait until the 12th, the day I was scheduled, and they call to tell me that they sent the request for a replacement to Landmark, and they denied it. So THAT DAY, the plumbing company orders the Gas Valve. And of course, the Valve doesn't get in until 06/21. An entire week. In total, I am without hot water for 3 weeks, and will be an entire month before they attempt to repair it again. I have NEVER written a review like this, but at this point, I feel this misfortune needs to be heard by others to avoid something like this in the future. I will be making sure that everyone I know does not use Landmark Home Warranty or NB Plumbing.
I apologize for this clearly frustrating experience with your water heater claim.

We had American Home Shield prior and didn’t have good experiences with them from the service side. So, kinda just took a chance and switched to Landmark and the experience has been very good overall. Submitting a claim was easy and fast. I do it online then usually within some minutes I get a phone call from claims person to clarify and get things moving. Reps have always been very polite. I’ve called in a claim on one that I couldn’t get into the system for some reason. They took it and I had an email confirmation by the time I got off the phone.
We’ve had multiple claims in over a year, different things. The technicians who came were generally pretty good and very efficient. Once in a while it takes them longer than the 24 hours to contact with you to set an appointment. So, just call them. The only thing that is more difficult is when they got to go back to get approval before they can order a part. The delivery process sometimes takes a little bit longer than I’d like. But it’s just the way that it’s set up. Last summer I had a claim on my air conditioning, but they had to get approval, then they had to order a part. So, we were out for three or four days when it could have been maybe done the same day. People at Landmark take care of the claims from start to finish. I’ve had a way better experience with them than I did with American Home Shield. So, I’ve actually had to recommend people that complain about others to Landmark.

Every employee I contact reads from a script promising to fix the problem, and here I am 10 days later with no solution, no approval for the repair, no communication from the company on the status... But they sure had no delay charging my credit card! Three days have passed since their own technician told them the one part that needs replacing. They claim under normal circumstances, most claims are approved in 48 hours.... and they have given me no answer to my question as to why THIS is out of normal circumstances. The only communication that has come from them was a request for a document, which they could have asked for 10 days ago as part of the submission process.
They also could have asked for it any time since then. But that is a tactic to continue to delay. The contract says in normal circumstances, most repairs are approved in 48 hours. That is simply false, 72 hours later, mine has not been approved and no one has explained why or responded to my request for an update. Clearly they have no incentive to do anything but drag the process out as long as possible. They have the money for the contract, they took my money for the service call, why would they give a hoot when they fulfill their obligation? They don't.

I unfortunately was in a situation where I was told directly by my realtor that I didn't have a home warranty. I apparently received information in the mail, but likely assumed it was junk mail as I was told I did not have warranty coverage, so I wasn't looking for anything. In October, I spent a large bit of money on my furnace after it broke. I had no idea about the warranty and had to use all my savings, and take out a credit card to fix it.
Today I found out that I had had a warranty through Landmark when they called to renew. The woman on the phone was very defensive and treated me very poorly when I explained my situation and asked if there was any chance I could be, even partially, reimbursed based on the circumstances. I was crying (but polite) over the phone, and she had the audacity to ask if I would like to renew my services with them while I was sobbing on the other end. This was my first experience with a home warranty company, and I am disappointed in the lack of service and human decency.
I am very sorry to hear about this frustrating experience. I can understand how disappointed you must be with the information provided to you by your realtor as well as the experience with the Landmark agent.
Unfortunately, Landmark is not able to reimburse you for any work done outside the warranty contract without prior authorization, and only under specific circumstances. We must operate within the parameters of the warranty contract to comply with state business regulations as well as remain equitable to all our valued homeowners.
Regarding the phone call experience, I sincerely apologize for what happened. I want to assure you that the call will be listened to and training will be provided to the agent. I know it is always frustrating to have expenses that you did not plan for and I can understand the emotional reaction to the situation. I am sorry that we could not assist you in recouping your costs.
Please know that your feedback is very important to Landmark Home Warranty and is not taken lightly. We honestly do our best to provide every valued homeowner with a positive claim experience in a timely manner.

It is June 2017 and I filed my original claim with Landmark Home Warranty back in August 2016. I was originally assigned one contractor, who came, assessed and found that I needed a new AC unit; that there was no way of salvaging the one I had. After an extended delay Landmark chose to seek a second opinion and send out a 2nd contractor. I did not have the time to accommodate an additional contractor. I was working 60 hours a week and in school full time as well as had the responsibilities of a single mother. I tried to determine why they needed to send out a second contractor. Eventually I realized that they would not relent and had to accommodate a second contractor, which they initially tried to charge me for, stating that I had caused a delay and therefore the case had been closed and they were opening up an entirely new claim. I fought them on this and they eventually relented and sent out the next contractor.
He came and went and I heard nothing for quite some time. Eventually, I contacted them and they stated that I would have to have a third contractor come out. I had already taken 2 different days off of work to accommodate them and I was unable financially to take a third. So I pushed for them to deal with the second contractor. They stated they had no invoice or communication with them. I called the company and they told me they had been in communication with Landmark. I pushed for them to get things worked out with the second contractor and heard nothing.
The first week of May I see a new ticket in my email for a third contractor... no communication from Landmark that this was happening. I had just been involved in a car accident so was unable to act on this due to my injuries and doctor appointments. So I am finally feeling up to dealing with them and I spent an hour on the phone going round and round about why I have to have a third contractor come out. They are not forthcoming about what exactly my contract says about my rights or out of pocket expenses. I asked at what point they would feel that they had sent enough contractors for additional opinions. They basically wanted to keep the focus on my lack of cooperation as well as the lack of cooperation from the previous contractor. There are so many unanswered questions. I at this point have no recourse or choice but to accept that they are forcing a third opinion (contractor) on me.
So I called that contractor. I waited on hold for 25 minutes to get an appointment. No appointment as of yet. I have an appointment to receive a call tomorrow to schedule an appointment. This doesn't feel like it is going to go well. If they are so busy they can't even set an appointment, I wonder when or if I will ever get my AC fixed. So I will say this in closing, this has been the worse experience. Customers should not have to accommodate endless contractors without limitation. I asked at what point Landmark would feel that I had cooperated enough and that enough contractors had been sent and if they weren't getting the price they wanted, they would go ahead and just pay what the contractors are quoting so that they could honor their contract with me... No answer.
I guess they can indefinitely keep sending contractors. This is the exact reason why I was hesitant (or as Landmark put it "uncooperative") to accept a third contractor. I at this point have no confidence that a third contractor will be the magic number. I feel that if the estimate isn't what Landmark wants to see then I will be transferred off to a fourth and if I don't accept it, I will once again be labeled "uncooperative." So this has been my experience thus far. It has been a fight and every time I have to call I feel dread and I know that I am going to have a battle on my hands. Additionally, they do not assign one person to handle your claim. I have no idea who is in charge... I have spoken with so many reps and each time I have to take a chunk of time just to bring them up to date about my case. All around, this has been a horrible experience.
Thank you for providing Landmark Home Warranty with this feedback. I am so very sorry to hear about this experience. I cannot imagine how frustrating this has been for you.

I would avoid the use of this company at all cost. They are a fraud, and furthermore a cheat. We had an issue with an appliance where the eventual outcome was it needed to be replaced. Landmark called and offered a payout 50% of the cost of a low end unit with "similar" functions to replace the broken unit. This amount based on their "cost" for the appliance. I was further told they do not purchase these appliances, so... Not sure where their "cost" comes from. However, their cost, does not help since I have to replace the appliance from a retail provider, at double the amount they offered, just for the low end model, not even replacing the same level...??? I am at a loss, I would not use this company again for anything. They are not a warranty company, they are a cheat and fraud.

Every service call with Landmark has been met with difficulty. What I was hoping to be a quick call and simple fix to my AC, has now turned into nearly 5 weeks of hot and horrid hell. It initially started out with me calling. Not knowing what button to push. I spoke to a lady who started my ticket. I let her know upfront that I didn't know if I needed a tune up or a service. Regardless, my AC was broken and it needed to be fixed.
First number they gave me was a flake and never returned my call. I called Landmark back at which point they tried to charge me ANOTHER $60. Magically, there was a credit on my account so we used that. This tech makes it out about 7-10 days later. After the tech leaves, come to find out Landmark had entered the call as a tune up, when it needed to be a service. They are calling me up, trying to charge me another $60 because I didn't tell them the AC was broken. I've had at least 3 calls with them in the past week. Letting them know they entered it wrong. Additionally, my AC STILL isn't fixed and it is HOT!! 83* is not comfortable to sleep in!!!
I keep getting the "We are going to have to listen to the original phone call and get back to you." NEVER getting back to me. Emails from them saying, "We'd like to get this resolved." GREAT! Me too! When are you sending someone out?! It's hot, and horrible and they want to charge me more money for their error for entering the ticket wrong and they STILL WON"T FIX MY AC!!!

I've been a customer of Landmark for several years now with only a couple claims through that time period. Essentially, Landmark has made pure profit off me as a customer. Recently, I requested repair of the fan motor for my A/C and they insisted that I accept an after market product that had wires literally zip tied to the exterior of the unit. The claims manager was repeatedly unavailable and left brief phone messages without legitimate explanations. Landmark refused to make it right. I paid to have the correct motor installed. I have received lousy service yet they claim to offer a great experience.
Now my contract is up for renewal and they are raising the price of the contract and the service call fee. Based on my years as a paying customer and my recent bad experience, I asked for them to offer a better price. They discounted it minimally and said that's all they could do. I explained that I was looking at other options since they provided such substandard service and they weren't interested in retaining me as their customer. I would suggest shopping around for another company.

On Wednesday May 3rd at 5AM we discovered that our hot water heater was not working. Immediately, we placed a service request with our home warranty company, Landmark Home Warranty. Landmark now requires that you pay the $70 service fee upfront before a contractor will even be sent out. With two small children, bottles that need to be washed, and for hygiene sake we complied.
My husband took May 3rd off, wanting to be available for the first available contractor. Unfortunately, Landmark was unable to schedule a contractor until the afternoon of May 4th, so I took the afternoon off. The contractor sent to our house was Preferred Air. The gentleman arrived, went up to the attic, and in under 20 minutes informed me that they were leaving because the main repairman didnt know how to fix it. The repairman informed me that he was going to get in touch with his boss and the manufacturer of the unit to determine what he could do to fix the problem.
I immediately called Landmark Home Warranty, confused as to why they would send out a representative, which I had already been billed for, only to be told he did not know how to fix the hot water heater. Landmark informed me that they were sure it was because he needed a part. I reiterated what the contractor had said, he didnt know how to fix it. I expressed my concerns that this contractor would be returning to my house to fix such a high valued piece of equipment. Landmark informed me that I could repay the $70 and they could have another contractor come back out to the house, but could not guarantee it wouldnt take 48 hours to secure another contractor.
I then requested to speak with a manager. Jason came on the phone and apologized, again stating that the contractor probably just meant that he needed a part. My husband and I were both on the phone at this point and Jason assured us that this matter would be resolved in a timely matter and that should anything come up to give him a call at his extension (**). My husband specifically laid out a scenario for Jason, asking should Preferred Air come back and state that we needed a new unit, would that be covered under the Landmark Warranty. Jason assured us that the company would do the right thing and take care of what we needed.
On the afternoon of May 4th, Preferred Air notified us that we would need a new hot water heater, in addition to some pipe modifications. We were informed that the hot water heater would be covered, but that our contract would not cover the pipe modifications. Preferred Air notified us that they would order the new unit as soon as they were notified by Landmark that it was approved.
Landmark sent an email on May 4th at 4:06pm to my husband which read Tankless Water Heater Full Replacement Approved. At this point, it was our understanding that Preferred would go ahead and order the unit and contact us regarding installation. My husband called Preferred at 9:30 on Monday morning with a bad feeling in his gut and was told that Preferred Air had received an email from Landmark that indicated that we had accepted a "cashout option". This option was never discussed with my husband, nor accepted by my husband. At this point, Preferred Air advised my husband to call Landmark.
Upon calling Landmark, my husband was told that although Landmark had made the error and caused the delay and confusion, they would only stick by their contract and mail us a check for $800. My husband explained that upon receipt of the check, if Landmark were not to find another way to rectify the situation, we would end our business with Landmark. The Landmark representative, Tyler, said that was unfortunate but that his company was going to stick by their contract. Tyler then tried to coerce my husband into verbally stating acceptance of the contract and the $800 check. My husband said since you're going to stick to your contract, which I do not accept, mail me my $800 check and I'll end our business immediately after I receive it.
My husband next contacted Preferred Air, who said they would call back with prices. They called my husband back and an agreement was reached on the unit to order. Preferred Air attempted to order the unit on Monday 5/8. In the meantime, my husband called back Landmark seeking customer service. He explained the situation to a female representative who agreed that Landmark was in the wrong. She explained that she would email our account manager, another Tyler and that I should follow up with him. It was implied that Landmark should do something to make the situation right for our family. My husband asked if it was possible to email Tyler (account manager) the invoice after the work had been done by Preferred Air in order for Landmark to compensate us for the unit, as they had indicated full replacement of the unit had been approved. He was told that yes, this was possible via email.
My husband continued to communicate with Preferred Air regarding ordering the unit and scheduling the installation. On Tuesday 5/9, Preferred Air called to indicate that their distributor did not have the part in stock, as they had previously told Preferred Air. This error on the distributors part would cause for a delay in delivery of the unit until next Monday 5/15.
On Tuesday 5/9 I contacted Landmark Home Warranty on 3 separate occasions. I first spoke with a representative named Tyler and asked that he read back that notes from the conversation on 5/8 that my husband had with Landmark in which the representative should make the situation right. Tyler stated that there were no conversations noted. I called back again on 5/9 and spoke with Cathy (whose name I would later find out was actually Cassidy). She informed me that she was going to need to review the audio recordings of my husband's phone call on 5/8 to in fact verify that this was what was discussed because she did not know Landmark to do such a thing.
After not hearing back from Cassidy, I called a third time. This time I spoke with Blake, who got me in touch with his manager Jesse. When Jesse came on the phone he read back the annotated notes from my husband's conversation on 5/8 that Tyler had earlier claimed did not exist in the computer. Jesse stated that I had asked Blake in our earlier conversation to reverse the cash payout option. This was a complete fallacy. Jesse also informed me that my husband had verbally accepted the cashout option yesterday over the phone, when I asked if he could play me the recording because I do not know my husband to be a liar, he stated that I would need a subpoena. I again reiterated the importance of the two small children who were being impacted by Landmark's limited customer service, about the bottles and dishes piling up, and how it was unacceptable to expect people who are paying money for a service to continue to receive this level of service.
As my phone was dying (after having been on the phone waiting and talking this time for over an hour), I asked Jesse what his solution was. He stated we are going to stand by our contract. I asked him why we had received an email stating that a Full Replacement was Approved, and he said that he could not speak to that and would need to investigate it further. At that time, my phone ran out of power. I didnt expect to hear back from Landmark on the contact number listed on our contract, and they proved me right.
Summary: We have 2 small children, one of whom still drinks from a bottle. Our children are the ones suffering from Landmark's questionable customer service. Landmark and Preferred Air can go back and forth pointing blame at the other but at the end of the day, they continue to do business with one another, which speaks volumes. According to Preferred Air we will not have hot water restored to our house until 5/15. We have lost 8 hours of personal time at work due to this. Even if we decided to not move forward with Landmark and/or Preferred Air, we still paid $70 for this to happen to us. We are in possession of a written notification from Landmark stating "Approved - Tankless Water Heater: Full Replacement." Finally, Landmark sent a final email claiming that the Dispatch Ticket has been completed, but we (more importantly our young children) still dont have hot water.

When I bought my condo in AZ, the seller supplied me with a one year Landmark Home Warranty policy. I had some electrical problems and called Landmark. They contacted an electrical company for me and I had the problem fixed in no time. I was really impressed because they called the day after my repair to make sure everything was working OK. Great company.

I submitted claims to Landmark over the phone and the technicians who they sent out have been very good. They repaired my air conditioner several times since it always breaks especially that we live in Texas and it gets to be a 100. However, three weeks ago, I submitted a claim online and Landmark called me back immediately to tell me it wouldn’t be covered. The toilet was rocking and they said since it’s not faulty. I said, “But it’s not supposed to rock,” and the rep said, “Well, it has to be leaking.” I called my own plumber and he said he’s never heard of a home warranty company that did not cover it. The flange was completely broken and it was just a matter of time that it would have been leaking all over the toilet. I sent them an email and told them I was not happy with their decision to not cover it and they just said sorry. I'm so frustrated with Landmark now but it’s been good apart of that.
I am very sorry to hear about the experience with the toilet repair. I can see how frustrating that would be. I am happy to have this service request reviewed on your behalf.

We purchased a house here in Las Vegas back in January 2017. At the time we requested a home warranty to cover all major items on the house. The sellers agreed and when we went we went to escrow. I was told that our saltwater pool was an add-on and that we could cover the pool spa and all "pool equipment" for an addition fee which we paid. We moved into the house and never thought any more about it.
A couple of months later the ice maker failed. I called Landmark and though the policy said they covered ice makers it didn't mean stand-alone and that was an additional add-on. So I gave up on them and just paid to have it repaired myself. A couple of weeks ago the company who services my pool told me that though the salt level in the pool was good but the pool was not generating enough chlorine so I again reach out to Landmark who told me that if the salt part of the system wasn't working they didn't cover the salt system as that was an add-on to the add-on I already paid for. I then asked them what is covered and after listening to them I learned several other items. Our casita, septic tank was also not covered. But they won't let you cover those items until your anniversary date which is 9 months away.
As to the saltwater pool issue they also told me to contact their contractor to confirm the issue on the salt cell which by my contract says 65 for a service call which when I called him and two days later he called back told me he was happy to come out for 95 dollars to confirm what my pool cleaning company believes the issue to be. So as I understand it now I don't have coverage for something I paid an add-on for which I understood would cover all pool equipment, the contractor is charging me more than the contracted rate to come out and you can't change things during the year. Well I don't know about others here but clearly Landmark is worthless in my opinion.
Mike,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am very sorry that you have had this frustrating experience. Often we find that when a warranty is purchased, the details of the warranty are not explained in full. I would be happy to have a member of our team research into the events that took place. I do hope that at the end of the review you would better understand the contract, as we do cover for many items. Please contact me directly should you have any additional questions or concerns. Thank you. Elise Nye | enye@landmarkhw.com |

I have been with Landmark Home Warranty since October and it was recommended by a lender. Submitting a claim has been good. I usually do it over the phone and my most recent claim was for an air conditioner. Within that week that I called, the techs were able to come and fix it. It has been good dealing with the claims rep and the techs. However, we had an issue with our well pump and we didn't know that it wasn't covered until we tried to have service on it and got charged for it.
I apologize for the recent frustrations regarding your well pump. I am sorry that your claim did not go as expected. Your feedback is important to Landmark, and concern is not taken lightly. We always stick to the contract and all covered items every time. We follow the procedures with each of our homeowners to be equitable in every situation. I do understand that it can be frustrating to have extra costs that you did not expect. I know it can be frustrating when something is not listed as a covered item under the warranty. I understand that this situation has been inconvenient for you. We honestly do our best to take care of our homeowners.

Received an email from LM after they saw my complaint. They have agreed that my case was not handled correctly and under the contract, I was to receive a comparable refrigerator based on capacity. I was offered more money and am very happy with the amount and quick response I got from them. They did stand by their contract even if it did have to go to the complaint stage. Thank you Landmark for honoring your contract.
Original Review: May 4, 2017
First off, I have used Landmark for 3 years and have been very happy with the speed of service and contractors used for repairs. Recently, however, I have had another experience with a refrigerator that could not be repaired. When I first called, a contractor was quickly dispatched and determined the problem. They said they would have to submit to LM due to the cost. I had to make calls in order to find out the status as no one called me. It was, finally, determined that it needed to be replaced but LM's vendor did not have the same make/model so they would do a "cash out" for a comparable one.
I was at work and was not able to open the link showing the comparable fridge but the amount offered me seemed to be low. I asked the service mgr what if I did not agree on the amount. She stated the ticket would be closed so I would, essentially, get nothing. Feeling a little pressured, I said okay. Once I got home and opened the link, I found the "comparable" to be a 17.5 cubic ft and mine is 24.8... almost 1/3 larger capacity. I tried calling this service mgr back but only got VM. I called another service mgr I had on an email... VM. I left them both emails and voice messages. No response. I called the 800 number and spoke to another gentleman who was very nice but did inform me that the contract said LM did not have to match size… WOW.
So I looked at the contract and found that LM did not have to match dimensions but did have to match capacity which is the cubic foot. Called back and spoke to another gentleman who agreed but stated that once a ticket is closed, it is, essentially, done. So after a week with no fridge (important when you have animals who eat raw food so we are using lots and lots of ice), we went and purchased one the size we need even though the cash out from LM will be much lower. I feel a little like a bait and switch was pulled on me and employees are not knowledgeable of contract information.
Kara,
I am glad that we were able to resolve the issue at hand. Landmark tries very hard to abide by the contract in every circumstance. However we do understand that mistakes happen. We hope that in the future you do not have this problem again. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you. Candace Parke | cparke@landmarkhw.com |

I was impressed with the range of services that Landmark Home Warranty covers. I've been with other home warranty companies that didn't cover everything like the pre-season air and heating tune-up. I've also been with companies that were just horrible that they would deny the littlest of services. But, I haven't had that problem with Landmark. They raised the service visit fee recently but it's still reasonable.
Submitting a claim was easy. You go online for it, they call you quickly and let you know that your claim is being taken care of. My only complaint was a lot of times the contractors didn't respond in the time period that they're supposed to. Landmark gives me the contractors' phone number and I just contacted them. It depended on what it was, like the last one I used for my pre-season air-conditioning tune-up. He was a single guy and he had no office or staff. It was just him by himself, but he was very good and he responded quickly. For the most part, it was hit or miss with the contractors, depending on how busy they were. But Landmark Home Warranty has been really good.
Thank you for taking a minute to share your experience with Landmark. I appreciate the kind remarks. I also appreciate the honest feedback about the contractors.

My AC started sounding funny, and thinking it may be an easy fix called out a contractor recommended by friends to take a look at the unit. The bullet points: the unit is molding (clearly from the prior owner), our coils are rusted, there may be a refrigerant leak, and it's a unit that uses a refrigerant no longer in production. Diagnosis: get a new unit. One problem: we recently bought the house and don't have the dough to pay for a new unit. Good news: we have a home warranty! Bad news: Landmark home warranty was our company.
So, what happened: shortly after speaking with the AC guy referenced above (as in within 24hrs), I call Landmark for service, costing me $70 for the service call. By Tuesday, April 11 someone is out from their contractor MD Ellis. They sent out someone newer to their company, of whom only took a look at the coils and stopped there (good thing I got a first opinion for less than $70). He claimed that they'd need to be replaced and I'd be required to fork out over $100 for refrigerant and something else not covered (I just checked and found out I purchased the platinum package, the one that covers refrigerators and freon recharges/recovery for AC). Before he left I made sure he checked other compartments of the unit where the mold could be found so that it could also be submitted.
Then I play the waiting game. Waiting to hear back on a resolution, or for my AC unit to completely die (which is imminent, and will become extremely unpleasant due to South Texas heat when it does). Thankfully, my unit hasn't died yet. I receive an email indicating some result was giving to Landmark and the only thing it said was wiring. So, I call the 800 number to find out what's going on with my claim. The short answer it was closed out by their contractor with no reason as to why it was closed out without any work getting done, and in order to get my AC fixed I have to pay another $70 to open another ticket. Landmark, I expected better service, especially since VA lender recommended you guys, and she was amazing. Now I'm just disappointed.

When I submit a claim to Landmark, I call and tell them what the problem is and their reps are great. They give me the name of the contractor who's going to fix it, I pay for it and the contractor comes out. It usually takes ten minutes for someone to get in touch with me about a repair. However, it would be a good idea that when the plan is bought, they give the homeowner the option to upgrade if possible. We closed the house in December, didn't move in until March and didn't know it was too late to upgrade by March.

They have changed the policy from last year and are about to rip us off with having to replace a part in our AC unit that was covered last year and now it's only a percentage per pound. Also they will replace the coil for the freon but not the freon test and they don't cover the outlets that face the outside just the ones on the inside. They have changed it all and I renewed with the understanding that it would be the same plan as the last year. I asked to see my plan from last year and they stated they didn't have it on file.

Submitting a claim with Landmark was pretty good. It was fairly easy to get a hold of them and talk to them about it. Our claim was for the garage door because it didn't want to open. It kept getting stuck so I had them send somebody out to look at it. However, there were slightly frustrating things in the process. For instance, I added my wife the very first time I called so that she could make phone calls after that because it's hard for me to make them sometimes while I'm at work, but they didn't add her. So when she called back in later, I had to add her again and that was quite annoying.
Another thing was when my wife called to get an idea of what they would cover and what they wouldn't, they told her that one of the things we need to get taken care of was not covered. But when she looked it up online, she found that it was. She then called them back and they're supposed to be getting back to us about it. That was a bit frustrating. In general, though, their customer service has been pretty good and they've been easy to talk to.
Also, their technician called me. He then told us what we needed to know about the door and what would need to be done. It worked out well. He was in and out pretty quick and he was straightforward with us, which we appreciated. The garage door hasn't been repaired yet because all the things that were broken on it are not covered by the warranty. We are working out what needs to be done in the meantime. It does work now that things are warming back up, but it would have a problem when it gets very cold. We've only had Landmark this last year and they're friendly and quick to work with. We've had to call back about things every once in awhile.

Dishwasher broke a couple weeks after buying a home. They denied the claim stating pre-existing damage. So if you happen to be stuck with this sub-par warranty company (there's a reason why after 400+ reviews it doesn't even average 4 stars but realtors keep using them for some reason) just make sure that your appliance only breaks after a few months. My home inspection report even listed it as a working dishwasher. Paid $60 to have someone tell me what parts it needed only to get denied. Should I have waited another month or two to report it? Very disappointed.
