I called the number to submit my claim with Old Republic and it was an automated thing. It takes you through the steps of what you're asking for and it's pretty straightforward. The two times I've had to call, I wasn't really given too much information other than the company name and it would have been better if I had some more information on the people that were coming out. On the second time I had to call and make a claim, I asked for some information but I was told they couldn't give me anything and I'd have to reach out to the people directly.
But the tech was good. The same guy came out twice for the same plumbing problem, about a month apart. The first time, it didn't get fixed fully, so he came out the second time. The first time, all he said was that he put a snake down the line and cleared it. Then the second time, he said that he put a blade down that same line to chop it up. He was all professional and very nice. Everything seems to be good now and I haven't had any floods down there or at least any backup since then. Also, I like that the policy covers everything that I'm going to need if I’m ever in a pinch. It makes it a lot easier and takes a lot of stress off. I'm glad that I have them because the two times that I've needed the service, it saved me a lot of money. So, I'd recommend it.

I haven't had a problem with the Old Republic itself. Some of the contractors that Old Republic Home Protection sent are not good. Sometimes, they would say, “This can't be fixed.” We would call someone else and the stuff would get fixed. I don't know if it's because they're not getting paid the full amount. It's just a deductible. But they feel the project is much work for what they were getting paid.

I recently had a hot water heater replaced and wanted to use a plumber of my choice. Fortunately they were in network and worked directly with ORHW. The work was done fast and professionally. Old Republic answered all my questions efficiently and were courteous. The coverage was fair after doing research and calling other plumbers in the area.

The times we’ve had to use the warranty have always left us satisfied. Quick service and great customer service from both contractors and Old Republic. When our water heater broke there were no hoops to jump through, the contractor gave their opinion and old republic honored what they cover. That solidified for me that we will definitely be renewing.

This company is frauds. They sent out someone to look at my outside water hose then charged me money for it just to tell me they don’t cover outside hoses. When I complained they argued with me and changed the story to the hose was not covered because it was not wear and tear. This company is just stealing people's money. Don’t use. Please listen.

Our water heater went out on Christmas Day, and within 24 hours we had a new water heater fully covered by Old Republic.

I call on the phone when I have a service request and it's very easy to set up. I've switched wherein I called in, and now I do a recording and talk through it, but it's still very easy. The turnaround time is fast too. I've never had a problem with that. On the other hand, I didn't like a couple of repair people who weren't the friendliest. Besides that though, their quality of work is good ‘cause I've never had to have someone come back. I definitely recommend Old Republic all the time. The price is reasonable. I've been with them over the year and got a bigger house and knew the increase.

I filed claims in to Old Republic over the phone and online, but I like to call in. My heat has been out for some time now and it's still not corrected, but it's a combination of both the contractor and the company itself. Things that I've gotten taken care of in the past have been very on point, and they sent very good contractors as opposed to other insurance companies that don't have good contractors. So, I like that they have quality contractors that they use to come out. Right now, with our heat, we're having to pay for the whole furnace. If they would help their customers pay at least a percentage, that would be ideal. They're paying for labor but we need help to purchase equipment when there's large items. If it's over a certain amount, I think they should pay a percentage.

I like the peace of mind that something is covered if it breaks. The most recent issue I had was my heater quit working. There was a scheduling issue because everybody was booked up. It was right at the beginning of the cold spell that we had and it took like two and a half weeks to get somebody out. The unit required a new circuit board for the heater and it's working as usual now.

Bought a home recently and asked for the most comprehensive home warranty. My agent recommended Republic and I went with them asking for the top warranty -- all inclusive. Price was not an object as the seller was paying for it. I got the warranty docs and on the first page it listed all covered items -- including a refrigerator - Very comprehensive. 3-4 months later when I experienced problems with the refrigerator and called them I was told refrigerator was not covered and if I followed the time start and fine print I would see that on my warranty documents.
The extra cost for covering the refrigerator was $50 --- something I would have gladly paid for if told it was not included. Republic A) did not communicate that properly -- B) did not make exclusions clear on the paperwork and C) did a horrible job addressing this issue with overly long waiting times and rude responses. DO NOT USE Republic for Home warranties and whomever you use --- ask to get a list clearly showing any and all exclusions. LK

Old Republic has an online submission form as well as a 24-hour robotic number so you can go any time and submit a claim, which makes it easy to use. But you can't speak to a person and that makes it very difficult and disconnected. When you need to make a claim, you need questions answered sometimes or you have something you're trying to understand and it doesn't help if it's just a robot or a web page. So I wish they had a simple number to call and file a claim. I was able to do it in a very roundabout way and get there but it wasn't easy.
When I moved in, my boiler seemed to be working okay and the home inspection went fine. But after being here a week or two, it wasn't working and we had issues where it was overheating in the house so there were some problems with the boiler. I was told that I could call whichever contractor I wanted locally but they couldn't do any repairs until we got an invoice and called Old Republic and got all of the repairs approved. There was a cap of $2,500 which is not very much for a boiler. It was $2,400 worth of repairs and I'm still arguing with them about one of them.
Old Republic approved $2,050 of the $2,450 but didn't approve $400 of the invoice because the woman who was working on the phone wasn't a technician and didn't understand what she was talking about. She and the tech had a misunderstanding about one of the repairs that had to be done so she claims that it's not covered under the warranty because she thought he was talking about something completely different. I'm trying to make Old Republic understand that they need more trained people to take these phone calls to approve these invoices. Either way, they have a legal obligation to cover the things that are covered under the warranty and this is a major part and it was covered under the warranty. I found it and checked. The whole experience has been very unpleasant just to get a boiler repair done.

The first time I had trouble, the repair people had to come out and do my icebox. I misunderstood because it was my first time having insurance and buying a home. The lady from Old Republic said if they can't fix it, then I might be able to get a new icebox. I didn't understand that from the beginning and the person who came out here had mentioned that they weren't gonna go through all that just to get a new icebox when he can fix it. But if I decide to do my own icebox, they'll pay the difference or see if they will. So, it was confusing. They finally fixed it but some of my food thawed out because of the timing. So I didn't appreciate that at all.
Old Republic is very bad. Three plumbers have come out here and the drain has not been fixed. The first people who came out couldn't see the leak because it's underneath so they didn't do anything. But the second man who came went outside and looked up under the house and saw a leak. He worked on it and the third time he came out, he said he had to have authorizations to do other stuff to get to the leak. It's not working because my sink is still leaking and my floor is wet. I don't understand because I'm not a plumber and I can't understand why they can't see it leaking.
I never had a plumber come out and not fix things. I thought a plumber knew. That's what they went to school for to figure out where the leak was. So that's nerve-wracking for me. I'll just get somebody else but it costs. So, I'm stuck and that's not a good feeling. It's close to Christmas and I'm waiting for them to call me back. He said Monday or Tuesday. He would get approval so, I'm trying to be patient.

I always had excellent luck with Old Republic. They have always been very helpful and good, so I stayed with them until I went to another company. I learned that Old Republic was better. I’m back to Old Republic and I'm very satisfied with Old Republic. I would never go to another company ever. I have already got a landlord that I know that rents houses and I got him to go over to Old Republic.
For my recent claim, the first AC contractor that came out was garbage. I wouldn't let them work on my tricycle or work on anything because they messed everything up. Then they got another company that came out. The second company was able to fix it and take care of what was wrong and take care of what the other company did wrong. They had to fix what the other company broke.

Might be ok for the little things, but don't expect much. They sent someone out to work on my AC and their service provided cut wires and changed things in my system-Now I don't have anything and ORHP is saying they don't cover it. I went from a little vibration in the fan to not functioning and no one is taking any responsibility. Not sure what this company does besides take money for nothing - Coverage is very lacking and they won't cover work they damaged or anything that is major.

Myself and family members have Old Republic Home Warranty Plans. Our experiences have been mixed. In this particular case, we have an outstanding claim that has not been handled well. There is still time to fix it, but how can we? After speaking with an agent (multiple times) in your Authorization Dept. we have not made any additional progress. We have requested to speak to a supervisor and been told that there is no supervisor to speak to. Not to worry, one will call you back. It has been over a week. We have called multiple times. We have left multiple messages directly to the authorization agent's voicemail via her extension. She is very nice, and kind. But, we cannot make progress on this claim. Why won't a supervisor call us to resolve this issue? Your terms and conditions clearly state that you will replace an item "like for like" but you are unwilling to abide by your own terms and conditions. What's worse -- you won't call us back.

Let me start off saying 99% of the operators I have talked to are great, great customer service. That is the good. The bad - 75% of the vendors sent to do various jobs. ORHP has no known way of monitoring the local vendors and should listen to customers when they say "These guys came and did nothing". You and I are getting charged and as far as I am concerned ripping all of us off.
Now I do understand that ORHP tells the vendor to do as little as possible and to just place band-aids on the repair, but when you have to send multiple recalls and waste our time as homeowners you need to look at this situation. The frustration your owner portal. I have 15 policies now for well over 20 years, though the number varies with sales and buys. I suggest you give us a way to edit our personal information. For example I cannot find a way to take people off the account or delete old address for me. It would also be nice to add a section that allows us to request a no recall when we have issues with a vendor.

If I knew now what I knew then, I probably wouldn't have gone with Old Republic. The few times I dealt with the reps, they were okay. Unfortunately, there were some issues with getting some people back out there, which weren't resolved. We had somebody come out to fix our air conditioning condenser unit and they came out to replace it, but it started leaking a few months later. So, we called back and they had somebody else come out and take a look at it. And the guy who came out to look at it said that the person who installed everything previously didn't install everything that needed to be there, like safety belts. And he said that if somebody, like a safety inspector, were to come out and inspect it that it would fail, to get ahold of our insurance and have them come back and finish installing everything.
So, I did that, and the insurance called the company who originally came out to do it, but they refused to get back with Old Republic about it. So, I had to go ahead and file a complaint on that company with the Better Business Bureau, which they still never responded. So, I tried to get a hold of Old Republic to see if they could send somebody else out and they refused to do so. To this day, they refuse to send anybody to fix it because they claim that nobody would wanna work over somebody else's work. But that does me no good if the people who did the original work also wouldn't do anything about it. They also decided that they wanted to drop us.

I've dealt with Old Republic three times over the last five years, and this last time, they resolved the problem, but the first two times, they didn't. I went back and forth with them on an air conditioning unit on a newer house and they didn't wanna pay on that. I ended up having to get someone local to come look at it myself. I also had a dishwasher that they gave me 40 bucks for and said they weren't doing anything other than that. I had to pay 75 to get somebody to come look at it, then I was in the hole. That was the first dealing I had with them back in 2018 and I've been rubbed wrong ever since.
The representatives are not very good at getting back with people, and one representative will say one thing, then another representative will say a completely other thing. I've had three dealings with them and it's been that way every time. I just keep calling back until I get a representative that says what I need to hear. The best review I can give is that they make their own rules up over there. I have to call and call to get somebody willing to talk to me as well. The tech they sent out was nice though. He was really friendly.

When we bought our house, we started with Old Republic Home Protection, and we liked the service so we kept them. Easy response, quick response times. Everybody has been good but the one AC guy. But I understood why he did what he did. He wanted to charge us extra money other than what the repair would cost through Old Republic. He mentioned that it was for some test, and I've heard of it, but it wasn't required for the work that he did. I do a bit of HVAC, and I caught him with that. He told me that they weren't paying him much so he had to charge extra. I wish Old Republic could have done more to stop that. I said that was not my issue, but we wound up paying the extra $700 anyway and Old Republic couldn't do anything about it. But getting the condenser for $700 versus $3,000 was still a big win, so I left it as is. I'm very happy with Old Republic. I’ve recommended them to people.

We have five houses with Old Republic and early on, they were very callous about who they sent out. Big Bear is a resort community 7,000 ft. up in the San Bernardino Mountains here in Southern California. It's an hour drive up and down the hill and the majority of Old Republic's service providers would be coming in from Riverside or Palm Springs area. They would always wait until they felt they had enough business to justify making a trip all the way to Big Bear. Any time they would send a service provider from down the hill, we always had a negative experience with that service provider. But as long as they send a local company that is here in Big Bear, we always get excellent service. So I file claims by phone because I ask the person once I finally get ahold of a warm body, “Would you please send a local company?”
The only negative we had one time was when they sent Kimbro’s Appliance out to the Barker house to diagnose the range that had ceased to operate. They screwed up the paperwork and the tenants in that house were without a range for two months. That was through Thanksgiving and Christmas. We were asking what was the problem and they finally told me that it was a mess-up on the part of Kimbro's appliance, that they did not provide Old Republic with the information that they needed in order to replace the range. We talked to Old Republic and I said I was gonna do the cash-out and they said that would be fine. I replaced the range in the house and they paid a very fair settlement. Outside of that, everything has gone flawlessly in every other home.

As a single older woman when I bought my house I was excited about your warranty. My realtor assured me it was a smart choice. Less than a month after I bought the house my air conditioner went out. This was in July when the temperatures were over 100*. On Friday after a 12 hour shift I get home and my house is 96*. Saturday I called the warranty place and I filled out a request online.

I explained my guy was already here. The next day was July 4, nobody would be available and they said there was nothing they could do so I went ahead and had my guy fix it.
I called July 5 to say I didn’t think it was right that it wasn’t covered when they didn’t have anyone available to fix it and I was told "Well we didn’t need to send someone out. We just needed to talk to the guy that was fixing it for you." I said you didn’t tell me that and they said "Oh sorry for the misunderstanding but there’s nothing we can do."

I've had Old Republic for 10 years. I have it here and at our other house which, my parents live at. I have peace of mind in being able to find a repairman and knowing that they're safe because through Old Republic, they're not just gonna send a random person. I like the online portal for submitting claims. It's easy enough to use for someone who's mildly tech savvy.
Lately, my experiences have not been good, though. We had a couple of really bad experiences that I had to escalate in the past couple of months. We put in a request for a repair for a dryer and the tech was very unprofessional. He told my parents that he was taking everything apart and he said he would not put it back together unless they pay him $500. My parents felt kind of under pressure in that moment and I wasn't there so they ended up paying him. But the guy didn't even change the part that was bad because the dryer didn't work after he left. My parents were so scared and they didn't wanna tell me but when I found out, I called Old Republic and they said we shouldn't have paid him. I said we made a mistake but I asked them to please not use him anymore.
They still charged us for the service call and then two months later, when the part went bad again and I put a claim in, I had to escalate it and asked to not send the previous person again. I also asked why I had to pay for two trade calls if it was a warranty issue. I had to talk to 50 people and they finally agreed to not charge the second service call.
I had a simultaneous issue with the water heater and the rep from Old Republic said they don't cover the hose or some other ancillary part, but they cover the water heater and the water heater is not available. I saw the water heater at Home Depot and it was available. They said it takes weeks. But it was at Home Depot. I don't have a truck. I have a home warranty service we pay every year so that I don't have to have a truck and I don't have to lift a water heater and carry it to my house.
My husband got involved and we had to escalate it. The guy said we were rude but they don't understand what they're supposed to be doing. They ended up covering everything and fixing it that day. But I shouldn't have to defend what I know I'm entitled to. As a customer service company, they should be providing everything I'm entitled to. I would still recommend them but I would give a disclaimer of like, “Make sure you know what you're entitled to that you fight for it.”

They said they were gonna call us within a few days and they confirmed with an email as well. Everybody was friendly and knew what they were doing. We had a little bit of a hiccup with the dishwasher. The tech came to see the dishwasher many times and the parts that they replaced were a little excessive. The wrong parts kept getting ordered.

I've been happy with Old Republic up till now. Our microwave broke and it took a while to get the guy out here to look at it. Then it took them a week to get the report and get me a letter about what they were gonna do. It took another week for them to do the research and find a replacement, and offer me the item or find my own and they'll reimburse me. But that whole process took a little bit longer than I had hoped. With the plumbing issue, I had a very good experience with Old Republic. I like the fact that once they couldn't find somebody to come out, they let me do it. They were very prompt about it. They were easy to get ahold of. We're in a small town in Tennessee, and good, reliable help is a little harder to find here. Old Republic is pretty responsive to that and lets me know that it's up to me to find somebody. But they should have a little bit more aggressive attitude in finding qualified people here. They need to work a little bit more on that.

We call them regularly only to be told that our claim is a high priority and someone will call us back by the end of the day. No one ever does. We went through the hottest weeks of the summer in the South, working from home and doing home school, all while it was almost 90 degrees in our house. Now, so much time has passed that we are having nighttime temperatures in the 30s with no heat in our house. Old Republic blames Lennox (the manufacturer) or the contractor (who has tried his best to advocate for us).

I got a ORHP plan when I bought my house 3 years ago. I kept it for 2 years, only using it sparingly, but they were straightforward the few times I did use it and covered what they said they would. This year my plan lapsed for a few months while I was traveling a lot and rarely home. I signed back up several months ago, selecting their best plan because they had treated me well in the past. $105 a month—not cheap but not terrible either.
My dishwasher started acting up so I scheduled a service for it. A service tech came out then shortly later I received a call that they denied my claim: the tech said the damage had to have started over a year ago (hard water buildup). So they denied my claim since it was “preexisting damage” even though the damage occurred when I had an active plan with them. The rep on the phone got short with me and couldn’t explain why they would deny the claim even if the damage occurred when I was under their warranty and said it was “policy”. Pretty subpar experience for a long time member with their “top of the line” plan.

When I have a claim for my AC or heater stuff, the process with Old Republic takes a long time and it's a hit-or-miss of getting good people. And there's nobody local. Most of the people I've had are either a good hour to an hour and a half away from my house, which is sad because there's so many people in Crosby, Texas that own AC and heating companies. I had a good one out of Porter, but he's 45 minutes to an hour away from me. So it would take the techs at least two days to come out and there's been scenarios where it's been longer. But the other day, I made a claim for my oven and within a couple of hours, the tech came out because it's the same guy who has done the work for me on my oven previously. He's been amazing and very considerate.
But with my AC stuff, the techs have always been crappy. When I had a claim for my heater, I had to pay $900 out of pocket because I got a second opinion. The first guy who came in spent five minutes upstairs and said I would owe them a grand for the work needed and that it wasn't covered by the warranty. But everything I've had on my AC or my heater has always been covered. So, I called a guy that Old Republic had sent out previously who was pretty good and asked him to come out. I had to pay the cost of him coming out, then him coming back and fixing the issue. But he didn't immediately say what was the issue. He told me that it could be three possible things and he eliminated the ones that did not apply. In the end, it turned out that the diagnosis of the first guy was not totally correct. Other than that, when I've had to call, Old Republic's reps have been really helpful. The cost of their service is also not that bad.

Having Old Republic gives that sense of security that if anything breaks or we have any issues, then we can just call in because we have the coverage. It's nice to only have to pay the co-pay, and we know that it's taken care of. We submit claims online, and it's really easy. As soon as we know something's broken, my husband logs right in and handles it. We usually have a case number and information within minutes, so we know who we're gonna be calling to set up an appointment, our local agency or whoever is gonna come fix the problem. Sometimes, we get people who don't know how to fix the issue, so it gets referred to somebody else. They resubmit it, and that's happened a couple times. Besides that, I really like Old Republic.
For the most part, we've had good service with Old Republic. The other people who come out are not always perfect, but that's not necessarily their fault. The biggest perk of having the home warranty is that no matter what time of day it is, we can always submit a claim. If I ever talked to anybody buying a home or who owns a home, I always say, "Make sure you have the insurance." It saved us a lot of times where things would have been very expensive to fix. We've had air conditioners go out and showers break. Our water heater went out one time as well, and they fixed the whole thing. Having that protection is really important.

We had a water heater fail in June and Old Republic hired a plumber to come out and check it. They said it was under warranty. They replaced it and that was all fine. Less than three months later, that brand new water heater failed and they sent out a new plumber who said that it needed to be replaced. Instead of replacing it, Old Republic sent the original plumber out who said that they couldn't check anything because the other guy tied off the lines to stop the flooding. So, that was a mess just to get the brand-new water heater replaced. I finally got it replaced and this brand-new water heater that failed flooded our nursery. It did that before and we took care of that under the home insurance. We paid the deductible and that was super on us. But when it failed this time and flooded the nursery again, we had to do mitigation and reconstruction which we're still in the process of.
The plumber and Old Republic are all pointing fingers saying they were not responsible, even though Old Republic hired the plumber and the plumber put in a faulty water heater and it flooded our house. Ethically, I don't think that the homeowner should be responsible for the damage for a faulty product that they installed.
Their agents have all been super sweet and wonderfully kind. But it took three weeks of me calling Old Republic and trying to put a claim in to their damages department. I've made 15 to 20 calls to them and I kept getting, “Oh, the line is down. We're trying to transfer you. But it says it's busy. Let me give you the extension.” And when I would dial the extension for the damages department, the phone would just hang up. For two weeks, they were saying that they couldn't get me to the right department because the phone number didn't work. But that doesn't seem like an issue that should last for two weeks. That seems like something that could be resolved quickly.
We decided to submit a written claim and two weeks later, they said I could leave my voicemail, that they submitted my claim and the damages department should call me to let me know what's going on with the damage claim. So, I left a voicemail. And then, radio silence. When I called them back on Friday, I talked to an agent who said that they denied my damage claim and that nobody was going to talk to me abut it. It was a week between when they said they denied it and when I called because nobody said gave me a phone call or sent anything in writing about it. I just got a bunch of assurances that the damages department was going to call me. But I asked for a supervisor and tomorrow, I'm supposed to get a call from one. I was told that she was on vacation and won't be back until Tuesday. So, it's been a frustrating experience just to even submit the damage claim. And that process was pretty sketchy.

It seems like it takes too long for vendors to come out or they might not have a vendor that's available in my area. It's always a long delay on things. He told me that if I would commit to them again, he would give me a free service call. But when I reached out to them three weeks ago when I had an issue with my AC, they told me that I didn't have a free service call. It was like nobody really cared.

They told me, "Well, I see when we came out to do a free service call for you with your garbage disposal." I said they did but that wasn't to be used towards mine. Old Republic couldn't get anyone out here to look at my refrigerator to do a follow-up on my refrigerator and my dishwasher. At that time, they were supposed to look at all three things. They said, "Oh, okay, we apologize. We're gonna go ahead on and we're gonna get that squared away. We're gonna send someone out on our behalf to get the dishwasher situation looked at." But they still owe me $100 for my service call fee for my AC a few weeks ago. The rep gave me a phone number to contact customer service.

Old Republic takes so long to respond. Whoever they need to call to come to do the work on something at my house takes so long. Then it takes a long time for them to get parts and to come out and fix something. My air conditioner went out in the heat of the summer. They have no emergencies with them. To submit a service request, I call a number and talk with someone. Most of the time, I'm able to get to a person. I'll let them know what the problem is, and they'll tell me that the person that they're gonna have to service the job out to would contact me. The people who come out are great. I don't have any complaints. The only thing is the time sometimes for them to come out.
I've dealt mostly with air and my refrigerator. With my air, it took a little more than a week for the tech to come out just to check it. I had to call several times. But once he came out, luckily, he was able to fix the problem that same day. I had to wait a long time for a part to come in. I was in the process of moving, and I had to stop because the house was too hot to do anything in. It seemed to me that it took about a month just to get a part. They said they had to order. I was trying to move in that summer. I didn't get to move in until October because it was too hot. Luckily, I had somewhere to stay.
As far as the refrigerator, it took so long for them to come and even check it, and when they did, they said the part was backed up. I got disgusted with them. I told them that I'd just get a new refrigerator. I was really disgusted with the inspector who came and was supposed to have checked my house. I felt like he lied. I was out of town when the inspection took place. But before we moved there, we checked the water on the refrigerator, and we found there was a hole in the line. I was like, "He couldn't have inspected this and not see all this water running out the back of the refrigerator." The shelves in the refrigerator were rusted. So now, some of them are broken. After taking them so long, they said my coverage did not cover the shelves in the refrigerator.
My daughter and I were contemplating getting another one. So, I asked if they could help me get another one since I had so many little issues with this refrigerator, and there was nothing they could do except a refund. The lady said that whatever work they were gonna do on the other one, they could give me whatever that money was. That never transpired, and I got a little frustrated with them. I had to have somebody at the house because I was working. So, I called back and I said, "Just forget it. I'm gonna get a new refrigerator and don't even worry about it." I can't be back and forth and waiting for them to call to come out, and nobody's calling. I still have the problem going on. Other than those, I've been pleased with Old Republic.

They assigned a contractor right away and because it was a urgent situation, I called the contractor, and it just happened that the contractor had time right then and there, and they fixed it within two hours. So, that was wonderful.

The claims process was easy. My only complaint would be that for certain items, it was tough to determine whether something is covered or not. Anytime we file a claim, it's tough to explain unless we get them on the phone. Other than that, the techs usually get the work done. The last person I called though was a bit weird. We were waiting for them to fix a garbage disposal but they didn't come the day they were supposed to. They called and had to reschedule. But after that, they got the work done.

I filed a claim for a whole house fan motor, a covered repair, yet three months later I still have a broken motor and can not run my system. My service call was ping-ponged between contractors because neither wanted to deal with it. One provider lied and said that a component that was not covered was what was broken thus causing my work order to be denied. I appealed and it was denied again. I have been waiting a week to speak to a supervisor. I got a phone call but missed it and got a voicemail to email instead. I need to talk to someone so I have called multiple times and they will not give me the supervisor number. They keep telling me that they will give them a message to call me back.
In total, I have spent well over 12 actual hours on the phone and many more hours stressing about the service. I have talked to a dozen or more ORHP employees and have 3 pages of documented notes. I will probably end up paying out of pocket for a motor replacement which is supposed to be covered on my plan as well as be out the $75 for a service call. Unless you want to waste time and throw money away, my recommendation is to choose another company. ORHP claims to provide a premier service experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me.

So I have been struggling with Old Republic Home Protection since last week. Now that I read all the reviews that 82% of reviewers gave them 1 star, I see I’m not the only one having issues. First I waited on hold 30 mins two times last week and the call dropped after they verified who I was, but no one called back either time to finish the conversations. So, I had to wait on hold a 3rd time for 45mins only to have that person makes excuses for the other two.
Second, we have been waiting 4 business days, 7 actual days with the long weekend, to find out about a part to fix our air conditioner. Got a call today saying their supplier does not carry the part for our old AC anymore (4 working days to find out they don’t carry the part?? I feel like that’s something you would know right away) so now they have to get a part that needs modifications to our existing unit to make the part work and we have to pay for the modifications because that is not covered in our plan. Are you telling me that there is not another supplier that this part would be available at? I’m thinking yes, but it would be more money so they are making us, the homeowner, pay for modifications to save them money.
Third, when I starting questioning the rep that called me and sharing my frustrations, she said that I can cancel my plan and get a reimbursement, really? That is your solution? So I asked for a supervisor but supposedly they don’t take live calls!! So I asked for a supervisor to call me back, to which she replied, I can do that and then proceeded to hang up without letting me say anything. 3hrs later still no supervisor call! Oh and we are in Phoenix where the outside temps have been over 110 for most of these days. 2 were above 115!! There is more but I’m gonna stop at that.

The worst company I have dealt with, technician ORHP sent over gave a 20 minute lecture about the issue before he inspected the unit, asked for a ladder and tools, made us do the work to "teach us" and then told our warranty company that our unit that has been there for years was improperly installed, had to call another company to come check it out and tell our insurance company that it was properly installed. The job was never done and the issue he said was the issue which was a clogged pipe was not the issue, it was a leak in the seal of the unit into the pipe, if he would have taken the time to inspect it instead of having to know it all maybe we could have saved our bathroom ceiling.
We ended up paying for the repair since ORHP would not cover it because they said that the other unprofessional company told them that it was not installed correctly, I don't think the technician realized the damage he caused by saying that since he kept telling us it's technically installed correctly but doesn't like it when they install it that way, which was the drainage for the condenser going into our plumbing's drainage instead of a pipe exiting the home.
ORHP said they would get a supervisor to reach out to us and they never called back. Told them we shouldn't have to pay for no service provided and they said that it's normal for technicians to go to people's homes first and then they come back and fix the problem and we have to pay 2 times for them to fix the issue. We have been paying them for almost 3 years and will not be renewing and would never recommend this company.

I also was charged for items that were never used. The plumber finally showed up later that day and had a strange attitude. Walked around like he was killing time and whistling. Finally installed one snap on part and pretty much left. Found out by a plumbing manager that the part was under ten dollars.

Old Republic was able to replace the whole unit for a fraction of what it would have cost to have an outside company do it, so I was really happy with that. But the invoice that I got was a little bit weird on what I was paying for the warranty.

I told him it was a heater problem. I opened the garage and took him inside to show him where the heater is. He looked at my water heater and said, "That's a water heater. I'm not here for that." Then he turned right around and walked off, got in his car and drove away. He assigned it to somebody else but they wouldn't come out. I called Old Republic and they assigned it to somebody else.

We had an absolute terrible experience. We got denied for improper reasons. We tried to be proactive, perform maintenance, get the unit looked at and be responsible. We were told the unit was inefficient and was going to fail and explode. A technician told warranty that rust was pre-existing (obviously, we moved in 4 months ago) so denied coverage. A couple days later the unit ended up failing and blowing up due to mechanical failure, like we tried to tell them, and had to pay $10,500 to have the AC unit and blower replaced.
Our unit worked when we bought the house. The inspection report said it’s working but it is old so carry a warranty. We did that. The air wasn’t working great so we tried to get maintenance. Maintenance said this thing is going to blow and fail, so call warranty. We did, but the person warranty sent only mentioned the rust to warranty so warranty denied us saying pre-existing, but the tech failed to actually examine the unit and report on the mechanical issues and failures. A few days later the unit fails and blows up and we’re left holding the bucket. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Why buy the coverage if the technicians are poor, issues don’t get addressed and we have to pay out of pocket anyways for doing everything we’re supposed to do as new homeowners. It’s been a horrible experience. I want to pull my policy since we paid to specifically upgrade coverage for additional AC coverage and now just had to pay for a brand new unit anyways.

I recently contacted Old Republic Home Protection for a plumbing issue, and they assigned a very unprofessional service vendor to my case. The first technician claimed nobody at home without even trying to call me. The second technician was assigned to me a week later, she claimed that she wasn't capable to solve this issue due to no clean out found at my house (she didn't even try to walk around the house to check), and asked me to call back to switch vendor. Since it's been more than a week and nothing got fixed, I contacted another plumbing company, that company assigned a technician to visit the same day, and he located the clean out of my house, fixed the issue in 1 hour! I called back to ask if Old Republic Home Protection can reimburse the bill, since the first technician didn't contact me and the second technician didn't examine anything. But I got rejected for the reimbursement, and they still want to charge me $85 for trade call fee. I felt I was robbed for paying for no service at all!

All of the representatives at OHRP have been pleasant and responsive when I call. My overall experience with OHRP during the 4 years that I have had the policy has been good. HOWEVER the last 2 times that I have had plumbing issues I have not been impressed with the caliber of the plumbers sent. The first company, drain blasters (I think) left my bathroom messy, replaced the existing faucet and toilet with very cheap looking replacements- far below the allowance I think.
The next plumbers on a different problem were not honest with me about replacement parts available. Also the cash settlement process needs to be streamlined. Recently, when I submitted a cash settlement request it was not acted upon. I called to check on the progress and was told that some information on the ORHP side had not been completed.

This company was great, back in the days 4 + years ago. But my most recent interaction, should be fraudulent in nature. I bought a new (used) house built in 1993, previous homeowner had a fairly new hot water (50 gal) tank that ended up leaking and need to be replaced. I called ORHP to come out and address the hot water tank, of which, is covered in my warranty with them.
Said plumber comes out, collects his $85 trade call fee and then tells me there is nothing he can do because the hot water tank is still under manufacturer's warranty and ORHP won't pay for anything that is already covered under a manufactures warranty - are you kidding me! I could have told them it was covered under the MFU warranty without having to pay someone $85 to tell me what I already knew about the product. I Guess that means they won't cover my ACs either because those were new when I bought the property... Total scam.. "Here, buy this insurance. We cover a lot of major items in a home...But oh sorry.

I had a work order for my stove/oven that was defective. When we would bake something, the door would pop open with a loud boom and there was a frequent odor of gas emitting from the stove top burners. The first visit from the technician, he did a bubble test to see if there was any gas emitting from the burners and he couldn’t mimic what we were experiencing. He believed the knob for the gas burner may have been bumped by us, and may have opened the gas line. This issue still persisted and it was a concern especially since I have two kids in the home. I called back ORHP and they sent out a technician. He inspected the oven and he said the solenoid may be the issue. He replaced the solenoid and provided me with a SPARE PART in case the issue persists. I still have the spare item in my possession.
In the mean time, we used the oven thinking it was fixed but the loud boom still persisted and would wake my newborn, and it now became concerning. Out of an abundance of caution, I purchased a new stove and did not want to deal with another technician misdiagnosing, respectfully. I attempted to even get a partial reimbursement for my new stove I purchased, but ORHP said I should’ve contacted them for another diagnostic to see what the issue was. Remember, this would have been my FOURTH diagnostic. My family's safety was more important. I cannot wait for this contract to end, and start fresh with a new company. Thank you!

The quality of the service providers is unacceptable.

Many times after calling them to schedule and finally getting someone to speak to, they say that they are not currently taking service requests and then you have to go back to ORHP to request another service provider and be on hold forever just to get a representative.

Old Republic has been fine. They've always been pretty good about getting me in touch with a company. Whether or not the company can come right away, they've always assigned it pretty quickly. There's just an ongoing issue with the AC that we haven't been able to figure out. So we've had to do a recall three times already. But it has nothing to do with Old Republic. The AC just shuts off.

So by the time they got there, they couldn't really diagnose anything. That's happened three times already where it's gone off and stayed off for hours and then, all of a sudden, it clicks on.

I've had my policy for two years, but I had not used it prior to a few weeks ago. I submitted a plumbing claim online. I did it in the evening, and the service provider contacted me the next morning, then they came out two days after that. The service provider completely lied to me and filed a false claim though. I paid the $85 service call and nothing was repaired and I still have a sink that does not work. I contacted Old Republic Home Protection and they told me that I had to contact the service provider and have them change their report. I tried to, but they would not respond to me.
In the second time that I contacted Old Republic and they told me the same thing, they also contacted the service provider and the story that they gave them versus the story that I told them, they said, completely matched up. The person I talked to on the phone knew that the service provider was lying in their report and still said that the policy was I had to get them to change it, which I told her, "How am I supposed to get somebody to change it when they won't respond to me? They're clearly lying, but they're not going to change it."
I'm also a Realtor, so I work with people who buy policies all the time, and I would not recommend Old Republic in the future, unfortunately, because of this. I've heard many horror stories from all kinds of people about problems with claims, and I don't remember if I've had a policy with Old Republic previously, but I definitely have had with other companies like HWA and American Home Shield. They were okay, but this time around, I wanted to give Old Republic Home Protection a try, so that way, I have my own personal experience. It seemed like their coverage for the price was a better deal as well.
I originally bought the policy a year before last, then when it came to renewal, I went ahead and renewed. However, I will not be renewing with Old Republic again, and if I hadn't pre-paid in advance, I would be canceling. I understand where they are coming from of how they have to follow the rules, but it puts the homeowner in a bad position of having to resolve an issue from the service provider that they selected.

One of those situations where only zero stars will do but I must leave one. It started with a simple leak in my master bath shower (the water going to the tub faucet wouldn't turn off all the way). They sent someone out who replaced the stems. That didn't fix it. It made it worse. He turned the trickle to a gush and left the shower unusable. He also drove off and left the water at the hose on the side of my house running full blast. A neighbor knocked on the door to let me know. That was 800+ gallons of water that day! I had to call them back out just so I could use the shower.
Next he told me the valves would have to be replaced and he would have to take my kitchen cabinets down and cut through the wall to access the valves. Of course none of that would be covered. The warranty company quoted me $850 of non-covered 'in-wall' work. Here's the kicker. The kitchen does NOT even back up to the shower! Now I'm no plumber, but it made no sense. So I called a plumber off my realtor's vendor list. He went through my laundry room (which actually backs up to the shower!), replaced the valves, tightened the faucets, installed a nice access panel in the laundry room so we can get to them again easily if needed, replaced two leaky valves for my washing machine while he was in there, and the total for EVERYTHING was $747.00. He didn't even charge me to come out and give the estimate!
I will 100% be using him again. I'm convinced the first guy's incompetence was just to get me to not use them so the warranty company would not have to do the job and it makes me really mad! I truly feel like they were trying to scam me with the master bath. What if I hadn't called the other plumber? They would have destroyed my kitchen, charged me at least $850, not fixed the issue, and left me another expensive mess to clean up. Now I'm out $747 but at least it's fixed properly. I don't know if I have any recourse. Got a receipt though! And a video!
The second time I tried to use them was for my AC this summer. They diagnosed a condenser coil issue, again $656 of 'non-covered' work. But I called HVAC vendors off the realtor's list again and the unit is actually functioning fine for now. I could put some money into ductwork and insulation that would help it work better, but there's nothing actually wrong with the HVAC. Another attempted scam.
This company would have cost me THOUSANDS and not fixed a single thing if I hadn't listened to my gut and called other vendors. So do yourself a favor. Even if you got the coverage with your home purchase, my advice is DO NOT USE IT. Their contractors might ruin your house. And you're throwing money down the drain, if you renew the contract. Take what you would have paid this terrible terrible excuse for a business and put it in a savings account. There are some great high yield ones available today. Then use that for home repairs. I wouldn't let these people anywhere near my house.

On July 3rd I was surprised to receive a call from ORHP to say they would be denying the claim because the cause of the problem was the ice maker and although it could not be repaired because it is the ice maker and parts were not available.
Let the buyer beware! ORHP hides behind the parts not available excuse to take your money, charge you for the technician's visit and then leave you in the cold. The plan covers repair or replacement of ice makers but if they cannot find the part they walk away with your money.

The service is really good and the portal is easy to navigate. They have a menu that you can choose from and if something doesn't neatly fit within it, then I've tried to call. The biggest issue I've had is when I had a ceiling fan that was covered under warranty and when the tech looked at it, he told me the standard quality that they would replace that ceiling fan with. He said I could call the warranty company and get an exception to purchase the fan that I want then they would cover the ancillary costs. I didn't want their $120 off-the-shelf fan. I wanted to upgrade it, and that doesn't fit well within their program when you try to do that. I've not been able to close that out with them.
So I'd be concerned if I want to replace a refrigerator covered under warranty and I don't like the model. Old Republic doesn't tell you what their standard of replacement is. When you find out, you don't have much latitude to get a credit for that if you wanna buy something of higher quality.

The turnaround time has been pretty good. They just say, "Hey, you're going to be contacted by a technician," and technicians usually call us that same day. I do feel like I've gotten quality service from them. Three times, it's been air conditioning-related. I've had three service calls. One was just to service the equipment, not because anything was broken. The first time I had somebody come out, I wasn't really happy with that tech. The second guy was prompt and took care of stuff, but he just really didn't want to work on another unit because it was difficult to get to. He just didn't really want to deal with it. I have two air conditioning and one is so far in the back and you have to crawl on your back to get to it. I don't blame him for not being happy with it.

We purchased a home warranty with Old Republic when we bought our home. Just put in our first claim and have had it denied. From the first conversation to the last every interaction has been about what they won't cover. They don't cover missing parts - which I understand but the part that is not functioning is very much there and they are choosing not to cover it anyway. After 3 phone conversations in which a script was essentially read to me, I realized that they are not about taking care of customers. The reality is that they have found an excuse not to cover a warranty repair that should be covered. As I shared with them I have no idea why the part is missing but the damage and neglect were not due to my negligence and are the result of wear and tear on a part that is present in the machine. After several frustrating conversations, I have discovered that they just don't have any intention of honoring their commitment to providing service.

I've had to submit service requests to Old Republic Home Protection many times. I do it through the website and the navigation under the thing is quite easy. My experience has been good but recently, I have one request that they did not handle properly. So I have been escalating that, but still, nothing is happening on that. There's a lot of confusion. And it seems like it's been a month and a half, almost. Yeah, so this morning only, no one's talking to them, but nothing is ongoing on that.
I had a cooktop which got broken and I had a request service to repair that, but they could not find the parts for that. They gave me two options, whether to replace the part or give me the money. So, I requested the replacement part. The Old Republic guys ordered the part, but that has never been shipped to my address. Also, when I talk to LG electronic service guys, they are saying they don't do anything about shipping, only the repairs. So, I don't know what is happening in this. It's been frustrating for a month and a half. I feel the incident handling is fine, but the LG electronic services is not very clear on what exactly they have to do.

The coverage is comparable to other companies for a similar cost but the service has been abysmal. We have been waiting 4 months for our microwave replacement, this is after it was repaired twice for the same issue & we waited 2 months for parts. We've had the same issue with our dishwasher since October, the last time they came out they said there was nothing wrong with it, but it still only works about half the time.
The wait time on parts is at least a month every time, that's after the 2-4 weeks we wait for an appointment. They claim they needed more information on our microwave, yet no one called us. When I called, no one got back to me. Phone service is terrible as well. I have spent hours on hold with this company and get transferred repeatedly to deal with their problems. We still have not received satisfactory service on the 2 claims we've made this past year and the price we paid for the contract and service fees has absolutely not been worth it at all. We plan to cancel at the end of this contract and move to a different company. I have worked with 2 others in other areas, both provided significantly better service.
Kristina, our intention is to provide the fastest, most efficient service possible. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you incurred. A specialist will reach out to you to resolve your concerns. ~Aaron C.

I had to pay out of pocket recently. Apparently, there was a pipe that had to be jetted, and there was no vent to jet it. I had to end up using the company that Old Republic did not recommend because I did not feel comfortable with the company that they recommended after talking with the technician. I ended up having to pay $6,500 out of pocket. Besides this last incident, there hasn't been anything catastrophic. I've filed claims for our air conditioning unit and dishwasher. They've sent their contractors to repair them. The contractors have been very helpful and responsive. However, sometimes it might take a little bit longer than normal for them to come out. In the past, sometimes it's been four days before I hear from them.
Hi, Genevieve. Thank you for your comments. We strive the provide the fastest, most efficient service possible, and sincerely apologize for any delay you experienced. We hope to serve you again soon! ~Aaron C.
