    Insurance Co. rejected claim to repair or replace not working spa heater without informing me! Repairman said it needed a new circuit board and left to order one. I got a note from repair company that claim was rejected and a $4200 est. to replace heater at my cost! Will not recommend Old Republic!!

    Ac vendor was not qualified. Did not thoroughly asses the issue. Instead offered a "solution" that did not address the problem. I emailed to dispute the $100 charge and not heard back. Had to schedule my own vendor to come take care of this time sensitive issue. Too much of a hassle to schedule.

    I have had Old Republic for several years for several of my properties and my clients properties. I also experienced other HW insurances. I am generally happy with the customer service and their responsiveness. However, the providers are not as good. Sometimes it takes several providers to come for the same service and each have different diagnosis. They are more interested to get the service call that doing the repair. Also not sure why they keep using the ones that have bad reviews. I recommend Old Republic to send customers surveys and reviews of each provider and the ones with bad reviews to be eliminated.

    We just moved into a new house and the dishwasher is at the end of life. We kept getting rusty dishes every time we washed them. I called and requested a new dishwasher. The handyman that was sent out replaced the racks which didn't help. Two days later he cleaned it. He was fine, but ORHP will not get me a new unit. Very frustrating. Not happy.

    Updated on 10/29/2024: Do not purchase a home warranty from Old Republic home protection. I paid in good faith for seven years on a warranty to cover my home, including my air conditioning unit. During the heat wave in California my air-conditioning unit no longer worked. The technician sent out with a bunch of lies about how my condenser was damaged by either pet or children and that it was installed incorrectly and how I needed to call my real estate agent and my home inspector. Well guess what? I bought that condo in 2017 so that’s not gonna do me any good is it.

    After some poor reviews that I left the warranty company sent out another technician to take a look. But surprise, surprise. He came up with the same baloney lies that the other technician came up with. This company just doesn’t want to replace my air conditioning unit. I realize that it is an old unit and it doesn’t need to be replaced, but it was under warranty with their company for seven years.

    The HVAC company that I finally had come out and replace it says that it was normal warranty. The condenser was not blocked. There was nothing damaged. It was just normal wear and tear everything that these two technicians said was not true so basically lies. This company just doesn’t want to replace the air conditioning unit. Shady and unethical and I will tell anybody I know do not buy a warranty from this shady unethical company. The technicians they send out are liars and they probably get a kickback for making up lies so that the company doesn’t have to replace the AC unit. Like I said, unethical and shady horrible business practices. I wish I could leave no stars.

    Original Review: I had a home warranty with Old Republic for seven years. So for seven years, I paid in good faith for coverage for my home and for my HVAC system. My HVAC system started having problems and Old Republic dispatched a technician who is a total joke. He claims that my HVAC system was installed incorrectly and that it wasn’t installed on a slab and that people have been sitting on it. None of these things are true. So, of course, they denied my claim to replace my HVAC. When I asked for a second opinion, they said no second opinions. They also don’t allow independent second opinions.

    So now, after paying seven years in good faith to this warranty company, I have to replace my HVAC system on my own. The technician was very rude and hard to talk to. It’s very hard to talk to a person to help you with your problem in this company. You are put through a phone tree and it’s circles around. You’re encouraged to contact them through their website and they call you back. I work in an industry where I am not allowed to be on my phone so it’s very hard to catch the phone calls. So they leave a voicemail and tell you to contact a specific department, but that department is never offered on the phone tree so you just go around in circles. Do not use this company for your home warranty. Their business practices are unethical and shady. They’re happy to take your money, but once you need their help, they deny your claims.

    I've been with Old Republic for 16 years. I like the technicians that they send out and I have appreciated the service that they have rendered. Especially the last one that worked on my air conditioner. I love that company and the same guy comes all the time. He's so nice. We have to pay in advance before the techs do the job, which the lady explained it to me. She said sometimes the technicians are not allowed to take the money, so they have to bill us. Then people get delayed about it. So, I understand that that's a new practice.

    Old Republic keeps the rates comfortable. I've compared with other ones and they're higher. My children have experienced some bad issues with some of the other companies, so they've dropped them and they don't even have home warranty anymore. But I keep Old Republic because I’ve never had issues. They're very efficient. As soon as possible, I get a call from the company that's going to work on the problem that I have. And I don't have to wait, which I like because I don't want to delay.

    Old Republic was already on the house when we bought it and there weren’t any problems so we just kept it. I’ve done claims both online and by phone, and it's easier to call. The reps were pleasant and got us the people we need. Most of the techs were very good but we had one that we had a problem with. He argued with my son and the tech just left without saying a word. It took four different people coming out and about four months to realize what the problem truly was. In the end, the appliance wasn’t repaired because it wasn’t something that was covered.

    We have had a horrible experience so far with ORHP. We purchased our home on 8/2, within 2 weeks the AC system went out. Which is unfortunate for all involved, we had just had an inspection done and all was working with no issues. We are in Texas with summers over 100 degrees, we needed it fixed asap. The service provider that was sent out agreed it needed to be fixed and couldn't put a date on when it went out. Again we had an inspection just prior to purchase and it was working fine. It was denied saying it had to be a pre-existing condition. Obviously it wasn't as we had been living in it for a couple of weeks and all was working, plus again we had an inspection, specifically for the AC. We had to get it fixed asap so we hired a different company that replaced both the outside and inside units as they were both out. We continued to talk to ORHP as we didn't agree with their decision.

    We finally got it reversed as they finally spoke to both contractors and read our inspection and realized there was no way to prove it was before the contract was bought but at this point we had it replaced. ORHP only agreed to pay us back what they would have paid had their contractor gone out to replace. Well there was over a $4000 difference of what they will not pay us back and what we paid. This seems like a scheme and a plan the entire time. Make your customer pay for it and only pay a portion back on their mistake. This is ridiculous and so unprofessional. We have a year long contract and are praying nothing else breaks as I am sure they will find a reason to say they won't cover it. Terrible company!

I had an electrical problem and the electrical guy came out and he told me to call to make sure that they were gonna cover the drywall because he had to make at least 11 holes in my bathroom in two separate bathrooms. So, I called and the lady on the phone told me it was covered. I told the guy, "Yes, she said the drywall is covered." He made another date to come back out to fix the electrical. He did that, and then I said, "Okay. So where do I go from here?" He said, "Contact them, and then they will have a drywaller to come out and fix it."

    So, I called Old Republic back after he got done and I said, "Well, he's done with the electrical work. Now, are you guys gonna send somebody out to do the drywall or do I gotta outsource it?" The rep said I could do either way. I said, "Okay. Well, I'll just outsource it." I outsourced to have somebody come patch up the holes and fix everything and the only thing they didn't do was paint. So, I painted it myself. The lady from Old Republic had told me that they would just reimburse me the money and I said, "Okay." So then I called and told them, "Okay, it's been fixed, et cetera. Where do I go from here?"

    They came back and told me that my drywall is not covered. I was like, "But that's not what I was told. I know you guys record everything. So won't you go back to this date and listen to your recording?" They were like, "Okay. Somebody will contact you within a couple of days." Two days later, somebody contacted me and said, "Okay, we're gonna cover your drywall. You'll get a check for $550." I was like, "Okay." I left and went on vacation. This happened in May. I left for my daughter's birthday on June 17th and came back a couple of days later, and I haven't received the check. I waited until July and haven't received a check.

    So I called them, then they come back and told me that it was not covered. I said, "That's not what I was told. I know you guys listen to the recording. Won't you guys go to the recording?" They transferred me around and somebody called and said, "No, it's not covered." I said, "But that's not what I was told. I was told by multiple people that they were gonna cover it, then I was told that it was not covered, and then I was told that they were gonna pay me anyways because it was misspoken." Then I said, "Okay, whatever." I just hung up on them. I haven't dealt with them since. So, as soon as it's done, I'm gonna find somebody else. I will not go back because if they are not training their customer service people right, then there's a problem. If they don't know what's covered and what's not covered, they shouldn't be speaking.

    I’ve submitted requests to Old Republic both online and by phone and I’ve had a very good experience with the rep. We have had it for four years and the pricing is getting more and more expensive every year. But the coverage is excellent. We used it a few times for air conditioning issues and so far, it's excellent. Our air conditioner is 21 years old but it’s still working so that says something. I couldn't ask for anything more than what they've done. Everything’s been good with the techs. I have experience with other home warranty companies because I'm a real estate broker, and knowing the experiences of clients, Old Republic is the best. They've always responded and everything's always been fixed. So, we never had any issues.

    When I placed a claim with Old Republic, they responded and had somebody come out. It was for a refrigerator repair. The service person came out and decided there was no leak. It was because the power had been turned off and the freezer leaked. But when he put it back together, he did not tighten the screw that holds the door. I did not notice it then a couple of months later, I called and asked if he could come out and tighten the screw. He said there would be another service call. I didn't think that was right. I did not engage him to come back for a second service call and I still have a loose handle on my refrigerator door. That's a relatively easy fix for somebody that knows about refrigerators, and it should not require another service call.

    I've made two claims. One, the guy came out and there really wasn't much for him to do. But I'm not dissatisfied with his performance. The other one was the more major one. We had a microwave break and the tech said he couldn't do the work because it needed two people and his company only had one technician. Old Republic lined up another company for me and that guy came out and diagnosed it as a bad fuse. They're supposed to come back on Tuesday to fix it. The only complaint I would have is that, it took a long time to get a serviceman out because they were so busy. The first appointment they had was two weeks out. And now, because one guy couldn't do it because he needed a second person, it went another two weeks. Otherwise, everything's been pretty good.

    Old Republic was part of our closing on the home we bought so the previous owner purchased the plan to go with the sale. Then, we sold the home and we purchased an Old Republic plan for the buyers of the home. It was great dealing with the rep when we had a claim. One group of service providers evaluated the issue and one group came out and said what needed to be done. And another group came out and fixed the issue. So, it wasn't a one size fits all type of interaction. The price of the policy is great. It's no big deal.

    Old Republic's representative has been very good, friendly and has answered my phone calls every time I've called. When I did a claim, I told them what was wrong and they said they'd get somebody out. But the first person they called never showed up. They had me stay here all day on a Saturday waiting for these people. I kept calling and it took a while. I had to get with the representative that sold me the policy to get the ball moving and change who they sent out.

    The second repairman came out when he was supposed to. When he came in, the washing machine had started working again. It drained itself and worked after four days. He read all the error codes, cleared it out and then did an update on it. So far, that seems to have worked. However, you have to pay $100 every time somebody comes out. I also don't fully understand my whole coverage. We weren't covered on a couple of things that I called about and I had to do a separate well policy.

    We went with Old Republic simply because our Realtor recommended them at the time we bought this house, which was about three years ago. I had never heard of them but she said she had a good experience and she knew a rep in the area, and they were reliable. From the beginning, we got quick responses. They have been very good and it has been important to us because we bought an older home. Some of the people who came were excellent and the AC guy was great. The AC guy I had before him, Roy, was very good. But he got ill and had to have surgery, so he's no longer working. Everybody who has come out has been pleasant but some people are more quality than others. FA AC has been good.

    The AC guy came out here and every time he came out, he improved the situation. It would go for about 10 days and then it would seem to fade. Then, he discovered the hole and he recommended that we get a new one because of where it was and what it was. On the same day he told us that, the Old Republic people ordered what he said we needed immediately and it was installed within five days. It was very quick. I think they ordered on Thursday and the next Tuesday, he was installing it. This was a couple of weeks after Beryl came through. It might have been four weeks. But it was hot on the heels of Beryl coming through. Ours was not related to Beryl, but still, everybody was fighting for all the same technicians and somehow, they still made it happen. So, we couldn't be happier.

    Old Republic is very good to return your calls and answer the phone in the first place. If the person you get on the phone is not exactly who they feel you should be talking to, they transfer. And when they do, you're not on hold for 30 minutes. It may be a minute or two before the next rep gets on there. The one time that I was on hold for probably about 15 minutes, when they came back on the phone, they told me they had just talked to the technician, found out what they needed to order for this air conditioner, and had already placed the order. That's the longest I had ever been on hold and yet, he had done all of that in that amount of time. So, that was good. I recommend Old Republic to anybody who's listening.

    Old Republic is not the best. When I call in a claim, I would prefer to speak to somebody that follows this claim completely through. We had an air conditioning claim repeatedly last year and at one time, I spoke to 27 people. So, it's ridiculous that every time I call in, I have to speak to somebody that puts me on hold and tells me they have to catch up on my chart. I kept asking to speak to a manager and they would say they were the manager. If I need to speak to a manager, I want to be able to speak to a manager. So, then I said I wanna speak to somebody above them and they would say there was nobody above them. There's always somebody above. I don't wanna be passed to the person sitting next to them or at the same level as them. I wanna be able to speak or know of a way that I can actually speak to somebody higher.

    After the people come out, they should ask us if they did a job. Because now they're telling me they're not gonna fix something that a worker they sent out two years ago caused a problem with. I’ve had techs come out for the pool and I asked for the same company again simply because they didn’t make us wait a week to come see if they got us. The first time we had to use them was a holiday and somebody answered the phone. So, the last two have been good. But some of the techs that Old Republic sends out don't care. They're awful.

    When we bought our home, our broker set Old Republic up for us, and I've been renewing it ever since then. They've been great. I can't think of anything that could be improved. I like that I've got a warranty on some major items like my AC unit, my pool equipment, and my water heater. Submitting a claim has been fine. I either call the number or get online and submit a claim online. Usually, somebody gets back to me. It's easy.

    I did one claim not that long ago. The air conditioner just stopped working. It happened on a Saturday. Luckily, somebody came out on a Monday. It was just a condenser that needed to be replaced and I had to have some coolant added, too. I'm gonna get on a routine with this AC company to have them come out every year. They notice stuff like that before something happens.

    Old Republic was recommended by my Realtor, and so far, it's good. Everything has been going smoothly. I did a claim recently and got a response quick through the home insurance to fix the AC and it worked out well. I wasn't home when the tech showed up to do the work, but I didn't hear anything from my family regarding that. However, I tried to see if we can reopen the previous claim, but it was hard to do because everything is done online. So I just created a new claim yesterday, and I'm waiting for someone to call me back or confirm when the repair company is gonna show up.

    My wife and I are realtors for many years and we use Old Republic for our buyers. We also use them for ourselves because we have had good experiences with them. Their pricing is right and their service is good. Their claims process is very straightforward and efficient. You can either do it online or can call them, and they find somebody. We're very satisfied with Old Republic. We've had some claims where they've gotten above and beyond. We had to use our own plumber for something. They extended the coverage amount to cover some things that they normally tapped out on.

    But there are a few little nuances that are a challenge, like the website when you get a new plan. Every year, when you renew, the plan number changes. You have an account on their system, and every year when your plan renews, you have to add the plan back into the system. If you don't have your new plan yet, then it doesn't show up. When you buy a new plan, it should show up in the system. We have several houses of our own that we manage plans for. Whenever that one plan expires and the new plan kicks in, that plan doesn't show up until you add it in there. It makes it difficult. Now, I have a lot to do and I don't have a lot of time to go back into the old emails, find the new plan number, go into the account and try to load it in there. If they could pre-load it, that'd be great.

    Sometimes on a claim, their exclusions seem a gray area that they stand firm on. The Samsung refrigerator had an issue with the icemaker. They continued to send out the same kind of company that just does a part swap instead of finding out the problem. It ended up it wasn't really the icemaker that was a problem. It was the board in the refrigerator. They told us, "We're only gonna do this one more time then we're gonna not cover the icemaker and the refrigerator anymore," or they would replace the refrigerator, but they were only gonna give $600 for a refrigerator. A big stainless steel side-by-side refrigerator with a nice door is not $600. It's probably a $1500 refrigerator.

    We had a water heater that had to be replaced, and they covered most of the water heater, but they didn't cover the plumbing to cut the water heater out or take the pipes off. They didn't cover the routing or putting the new pipes in to connect it because they said that was custom work which is not covered work. But you can't replace the water heater without connecting it to the pipes and you can't reuse the pipes so that's part of the repair. We went back and forth on that but they said it's not part of it. It's modification. It's not a modification if it's what's required to put the water pipes into the water heater that would make it work and run water to the house. There were some technical jargon that I felt they were trying to get out of part of the repair. I didn't feel it was very customer-friendly because how do you replace the water heater without routing the pipes? There are some nuances with a home warranty that I feel at times don't make sense.

    I contacted Old Republic via the phone, and the pre-recorded messages walked me through exactly what I needed to do to file a claim and it was simple. Although I didn't have my policy in front of me, I was able to just enter my phone number and they were able to pull up my address. I still got my claim to go through. I was having problems with my AC. I was a little leery because I didn't have my policy number. I only had my cellphone number, and it was my first time. So, I wasn't sure if I even registered because I went online but couldn't find my info. I probably hadn't registered at the time. So, I was really nervous about whether they would get back to me because once you put in your information, it tells you that someone would get back to you within 48 hours, but it was really fast.

    The claim was for my AC, so I was stressed because I live in Florida. It was very hot. So, I was very nervous. I have two kids. So, I was like, "Oh, my God. We're gonna be burned up in this house. So, I'm gonna have to go to a hotel." But the process with Old Republic was quick. Someone did contact me back and they set me up an appointment. The next day, a technician came out. He was professional, very nice, very informative, and very sweet. He wore shoe booties through my house.

    He told me what needed to be done, gave me recommendations, went outside, did some stuff, came back in, and gave me more recommendations as far as keeping the AC working and what I needed to do as a homeowner as far as filters. Apparently, I was not using the biggest size that I should have been using. I had a good size. It fit but he recommended I get a larger size. I only got the filter that was here when I bought the house but he told me the size filter that I needed to get to make it run better. I did that and I haven't had any issues. So, I was very grateful for that. I would recommend Old Republic because I had a good experience. I'm looking forward to being notified, "Hey, your year is almost up, what you're gonna do?" I will continue with them because I don't have any issues. At least, I know if I do, they'll respond real quickly.

    Just to let you know, for ORHP to honor the warranty, you have to pay money (charged to your credit card) to have someone come out and look over the appliance. You may get a big surprise if your appliance has a limited warranty - the company will not pay to fix it. Imagine, that the manufacturer of your appliance will provide the parts at no charge, but ORHP will not pay the labor to fix it. Before you buy look at all the exceptions and get in writing from the salespeople what each exception means - meaning what they won't pay for. AND confirm in writing that all service people dispatched have been vetted, have insurance, and that the work done is guaranteed. Finally, get a timeline in writing from the salespeople of how long it takes to get something fixed - you would be surprised that the time it takes is weeks...

    My claim experience with Old Republic went well. The thing I liked about it was when the techs came out for the air conditioning, they took care of it and left. The techs they chose to come out were really good. It was nice that there was no bill right off the bat. It was paid for by Old Republic and then we had to pay the $85 service fee. And that came through a bill later from Old Republic for the reach-out, and that was fine. Everything went smooth.

    Sometimes filing claims online can be a bit of a hassle because they want your policy number, when in the moment you don't have that. When you call, they look it up by phone number. But Old Republic is quick when something is wrong. They send somebody out usually within 24 hours to 72 hours. When the air conditioner went out, the repairman could have been here on Sunday, but I was out of town. That claim was a lot better than the pool. They still haven't fixed the pool. The solenoid out front has to be fixed. The person that they used to fix the pool equipment said that it has to be done by a licensed plumber, but they never had a licensed plumber contacted.

    They sent one guy out from some pool company that wasn't the usual guy that comes to fix stuff. He diagnosed that I had a leak in the line somewhere but that wasn't what it was. We watched him in the camera walk through my fence, walk to my gate, stand over my pool, call me, and then turn around and walk out. I called them back and told them I have a camera footage. He was at my house for a total of 12 minutes. You can't diagnose a leak under concrete in 12 minutes. They sent the claim to Aqua System Pools, which is the gentleman who in February had replaced my pool equipment because it was not working. He was here for 45 minutes and told us it's the solenoid out front that's leaking.

    I made a service request over the phone, and Old Republic, my insurance company, answered right away and sent somebody right away as well. However, my unit never got fixed, so I'm still without AC. The repair people checked everything and told me that the fan was bad and they're gonna send the work order to the insurance company then come back and replace the fan, but they never did. When I called the company again to ask if they were gonna replace the fan, nothing happened. They told me, "Oh, it was working when we left. And if you want it to get fixed, you gotta make another request." They told me to pay another fee, and they're gonna come back again. I said, "You know what? Forget it. Just leave it as it is." All in all, my experience was not very good, but I don't think it was because of the insurance company. I will recommend the insurance company but not the company they used to fix my unit.

    My experience with Old Republic has been mixed. But overall, very good. There had been times when they weren't able to repair things. Recently, I called them for my dryer. It turned out that the dryer wasn't on my policy. I had to go out of pocket for it and I also had to pay the service fee as well. I also had a guy come out to repair a dryer on another property. All I paid was a service fee. The guy repaired the motherboard like the control module. That part was free of charge. He made two trips, which took some time. But I was very happy with that one.

    I was happy with Old Republic Home Protection until this incident happened a month and a half ago. Every time I called them, they were able to go in a reasonable time. But this time, it wasn't reasonable. When somebody calls and mentions that it is very urgent, there are kids and they need help, Old Republic should be able to find someone urgent, even though over the weekend.

    The house that I have an Old Republic on had a plumbing issue. They couldn't use the bathroom or the water. Everything was clogged. So, I called Old Republic to send someone as quick as possible. They couldn't. It passed that weekend. I know they don't work on weekends. and the problem became worse. Somebody went there and wasn't able to fix it. The tenant asked, "Please, what can we do?" So, I had to look out of the warranty. I found someone and he went to the house. I called Old Republic to cancel the request. They canceled but charged me the $85 of request. So, I asked them to refund that $85 that they didn't do anything what they needed to do. They told me, "It's gonna be four or six weeks, something." I can wait, but I need my refund.

They're good people. I know other people that have them. I've never had anything go wrong where I need them but just to speak to them and tell them, “I just signed up. I wanna make sure that everything is well on what I signed and all that.” I've never had problems with them. If I did, I would stop it immediately and find someone else.

    I called Old Republic and told them what the problem was. It was an eye on my stove that was messing up and they sent somebody out. We got good service out of the company that they contracted with to do this but while the gentleman was out here, I found out that the warranty was worthless. He said, "If they find out that somebody else had worked on it, they won't cover it." Everything is still out of pocket for me, which means that my husband and I are more than likely not gonna be doing a home warranty deal because we moved into a home that has existing appliances.

    Being a first-time homebuyer, there are so much information that gets thrown at you. There are so many tidbits that are left out that you don't get to know until you try to find out or get something fixed. They'd say something isn't covered because it's a pre-existing appliance in the home and they don't know who's done what to it, so they're not gonna cover it. It makes me worried that if our air and heating system ever goes out, we're gonna be on the hook for that because it's been in here since the house is in here and there have been two owners before us.

    We had some plumbing problems with the house that we bought and had people come out. They fixed my problem where the water was gurgling real bad. They came out twice and told me if it did anything, to call them and they would come back. I did, but they did not come back that last time. They said they needed to come back and change out some piping but they never did that. It doesn't seem to be a problem anymore so I didn't call them back and press them for it.

It has been an absolute nightmare dealing with this laughable home warranty company! I called down into an issue with a gas range, it was declared our Thermador needed to be replaced… Old Republic offered a GE replacement (downgrade but sure, at least all the eyes would work)… It was ordered and a month later came in and they installed… except there was an issue that a plumber needed to address…

    Plumber #1 connected the gas line but couldn’t turn on the gas due to an issue with where it connected and bumped against the oven… Needed plumber #2 to come out and make alterations if possible — it wasn’t possible!!! I had to call every other day… multiple occasions I was going to receive a callback or promised a call from supervisor - didn’t happen… We had to wait for a return approval 3-5 days… Was told that was approved… Received email regarding return instructions which included me wrapping and boxing up the gas range…

    I replied to the return instruction email that someone needed to come disconnect the gas line before it can be boxed up… The reply was since it had been installed that it COULD NOT BE RETURNED!!! Then proceeded to advise for ME to contact GE about returning the gas range mind you that Old Republic ordered!!!! Going on 3+ weeks without a range!!!! BUYER BEWARE.

    We have their homeowners insurance and they are the absolute worst! We paid for the year and have to pay every time we need something serviced, which is fine. It’s how insurance works. What isn’t okay is that we pay for someone to come out, they don’t fix anything and always say whatever the issue is isn’t covered. EVERYTIME! Then the person they send out will offer to fix it separately from the insurance. If this isn’t a scam, I’m not sure what is. At this point, I don’t even care that I paid for the year already.

    I've had rentals over the years and I've always had a home warranty company. When I bought the house, the Realtor recommended Old Republic and I've had nothing but good experience. The bad thing is we didn't have an air conditioner for five weeks. We had a problem this summer and the company came out four different times but it never got fixed. Finally, I called Old Republic back and they did everything great. They had a new company come out and they were in and out in 20 minutes. The techs said the pump was wired wrong. I spent almost $1,900 in hotel rooms so, I wasn't happy at all. But when it finally got fixed, the experience was very good. The only thing is, I tried to pay the $85 to the guys and they didn’t want a check. So I’ll wait until Old Republic bills me. Sometimes, they don’t bill readily.

    I recommend Old Republic all the time. I've had them for two and a half years. I've only used it on my air conditioning and there are no problems. I don't like talking to an automated person and I was thinking it was not gonna be a good experience. But the company always called me right back. The problem was trying to get the company to come back when I said the air conditioner was still not working. I'm older and I've had open-heart surgery. I'm not allowed to get on ladders and there are some things that you cannot do anymore that you're used to doing. So, it's very comforting to have the confidence to know that I can call Old Republic and they would send somebody out. And they would tell me if it’s covered or not. When I was working, it was easier to call them and have them come out.

    I told Old Republic Home Protection that the house wasn't getting cool. Only certain rooms were cooler. The tech came and said there was nothing wrong. He didn't give me any paperwork. He didn't do anything. He came in, just walked around and left. Where is my home warranty telling me that something was done. It's paid for every month. But they would not send me paperwork on what was done. Calling and asking me how was my service. Anything. That's why home warranties suck.

    My air conditioning unit went out. And it cost $7,000 to replace the unit on the roof in one of my houses that I bought. There was a small amount that I paid. They put a brand new unit in, which was fantastic. But if somebody came to your house and did some type of work for something you wanted, didn't they leave something that they were even there, what was checked, I had low Freon, or Freon was good. I'm back in the dark again. Nothing happened. I had to pay them $85 to do what? I don't even know what I paid them for. They didn't tell me what they did. They just told me there was nothing wrong.

    What does that mean, nothing wrong? They were not talking to another technician. I wouldn't know what he was talking about. He talked to somebody who doesn't even know what he means. "There's nothing wrong." Nothing wrong with what? What did he do? He left that information with my roommate. He didn't bother to call me. He didn't bother to tell me anything. He did call me and say everything was fine. But what does everything fine mean? Because it doesn't cool. Something's wrong. It could have been a modular home. There's no attic.

    I was mad and talked to other people. They said, "In a modular home, I don't think they got an attic. I said, "They don't?" Which I don't even know. But every home warranty, I would call them and tell them I have a problem. And they send out some little, rinky-dinky company that I'm sure they got a deal from them. Because why should they pay more if they don't have to? If I'm paying Old Republic, they should send me out somebody that is reliable, that would give me something. I wanna know what they did.

    My other house, I had the guy come out and told me, "Your microwave is no good. But we don't service those microwaves. We can't get you another one." Just sent me a check for $325, so I got another microwave. They told me something was wrong. And they did something. But for this guy that came over and did nothing and not even tell me what he did? Just told me there was nothing wrong or nothing they could find. What does that mean? What does it mean when it doesn't get cold? Freon. Why should one room be colder than another? He said, "I checked all the rooms and the temperatures were good." What does good mean? If one room is getting cold and the other one isn't, then there's something wrong. So what he said, it's not true. Why would one room get cold and the other one doesn't?

    Old Republic send out some joker, some little foreign company, which even had an attitude when I asked them to come out. "We'll call you when I'll get a technician over there." I gotta wait two days. They finally showed up. Surprisingly, somebody was in the area. They cancelled so they came and they got me. I was at work. I told them only on Monday. That is when I'm off. They told me they could come out on Wednesday, and I wasn't there. But I told them my roommate would be there. Just let me know what the problem is and fix it. That's it.

    I tried to call Old Republic and they had me on hold for 20 minutes. I was at work and I couldn't just sit there all day. But I gotta call and what would it do? They would charge me another $95. They're already paid for the people when I bought the house. So, every time I call somebody to come out, I gotta pay them. In this case, they told me they would bill Old Republic. I don't know what that means, but I got a bill from Old Republic. Why am I getting a bill from Old Republic if they're already paid? Why should Old Republic be involved?

    Old Republic did what they were supposed to do. They called a technician for the air conditioning. And they called me and made an appointment, and got there. But Old Republic doesn't follow up. Also, they send out the cheapest one they possibly could. Sometimes, I would have to wait a week. It would be at the discretion of when they could come out. "We're busy." We're this, we're that. If you're dealing with a small company that can't supply your customers, get somebody else. Why would they give me that guy? "This is the one we have." I would say, "No, that's not good enough. I want somebody as soon as possible, not with the little people that you have."

    They come out and would not look professional. They would come over with a shirt on and Levi's, and their little tool box, and their little meters. I could do that coming from school. What I wanna know is, somebody who could come out and do it. They got this guy that told me for $88, he would come out and tune up my air conditioning. I told him, I just had somebody come out. And there was nothing to be done with my air conditioning because they said everything was fine. The girl told me, "They will send out somebody for $99 to give you a diagnostic." I said, "What does that mean? You just said a minute ago, you would come out for $88 and clean all this. You gave me 10 different things that you're gonna do to make the air conditioning unit work better."

    "All of a sudden, you wanna send me somebody to do a diagnostic. Then tell me what's wrong with it and then bill me. Why don't you just do what you said? Give me the tune-up." "We have to do a diagnostic." "No, that's not what you told me. You told me that I would need a diagnostic because something's not working right. Well, the $88 one, I would pay $88 for you just to come and clean the vents. As far as I know, they're plugged up, they're dirty, whatever." But she jumped right over to, "Oh, no. It's 99. We have to come out and do a diagnostic because you're telling us that you have a problem already." No. They should come out and find the problem. Don't listen to me. I'm nobody. It could work better. They need to come out and give me that tune-up for $88 and leave it at that. I'll be satisfied with that. But don't give me a diagnostic and charge me 100 and something to go blow out my lines what you were gonna do for $88.

    They tried to get me on both sides, 99 for the diagnostic and do the work. It works. It runs. It just doesn't get cold. So, what does that tell you? A tune-up sounds like it blows everything so everything will run smoother. That's what I'm looking for. Did they even bother to look to see how low the Freon was? Because when it's running with low freon, would it give the amount of cold that it should if it was full, or at least up to where it was supposed to be?

    It's a challenge submitting a claim to Old Republic because in the fine print, everything isn't always covered. It seemed like a loophole is found where we can't get total coverage. When something happened to the compressor in our AC, they covered the parts but we still had to pay for the labor. Then in order to get a claim going, we had to pay $110 fee for whoever they send to come out and that was not promising. It could fall under warranty or not, so that was not promising. The quality of their contractors is a hit or miss. They gave me contractors that are hard to get in touch with sometimes. I found it better when I get the contract and then have them reimbursed.

    It's very hard to get through to Old Republic Home Protection. It's very frustrating. I've had to deal with them several times. I've been waiting on a refund for my HVAC. Their service people that they have me go with denied service to me based on it's a two-ton HVAC on top of the roof. The customer service for the outside provider told me to go with his guy instead of using my own person. I said, “I just wanna do a cash-out and get this over with.” The tenant has no cooler. It's really hot! He said, “Just do one more time. One more time.” He sweet talked me. I fell for it. I called this guy the next day, and this guy said no. “I won't do a two-ton on an HVAC.” He refused. So I had to call my guy, and it was a nightmare.

    I still have not received the $3,250 for my portion of the HVAC. The HVAC itself, with the crane, and everything, was 14,500. I always have them send me a bill and I pay for the $85 service fee. He said, “We no longer do that, so you'll have to do it on a card right now or I can't even do this for you. I can't even start it.” I said, “I've done this with you guys forever. And that way you send me a bill. I have a copy of it. I send you a check. And then I have a copy of it.” Because I don't do credit cards. He says, “Well, you'll have to this time.” So, I did. $85 service fee. And it has yet to be refunded to me. I called them and I said they did not take my service call. They connected me. They said he's on another line. They connected me to someone else.

    I'm yet to receive my two checks. I called Friday of this week, and the lady on the line said, “We're gonna be sending you two checks.” I asked, “When?” She said, “They probably won't get out until Wednesday.” Hopefully, I receive my checks and I'm happy again. I have recently, on a home and a duplex, ordered two more policies before this started with Old Republic, for systems. I paid it all upfront. We don't make payments. So, I hope that I don't keep having these problems.

    This is the first year I've been with them and there are a few things that are good and some not so good. Whenever I would call them, they would start the process of getting somebody to look at whatever the problem was. But when they would come over, I thought they would check everything out but they do one or two little things and everything would work until they leave and then it would go bad again. It's like my air conditioning, it's working now but sometimes I feel like I get the short end of it.

    The tech came here and he checked the different things on the air conditioner. He said he found some ice in the bottom and he said the ice is keeping it from cooling the house because it's closing up some way to keep the air coming. He said to not use the air conditioner until 5 o'clock and the ice would be gone. I did that, but the next day, it shut off again. I went out and looked at the plate where he said there was ice with no ice on it. I called them back but the air conditioner started working again and I didn't follow up on it.

    My dishwasher had a leak and it was not cleaning my glasses and silverware. I started a claim in January but I was told the provider would give me a call back, I would wait, they would never call, and I would call Old Republic back. A lot of it was phone tag. I took people at their word and waited. I've had two companies come out. The first company replaced almost everything on it and the second company replaced the most obvious thing on it. I just had a technician look at it again on Thursday. They're finally to a point where they're gonna purchase a new dishwasher. But it seems like they've wasted a lot of money to try not to replace it and find out what's wrong with it. Other than that, Old Republic has been wonderful overall.

    When we purchased our house, the seller purchased the warranty from Old Republic and I just started renewing it. It's been well worth it because I've had to use it and it has saved us a lot of money. When push comes to shove and something breaks in the house, you have that insurance and you don't have to come up with thousands of dollars out of your pocket. The reps were on top of it when I filed claims. It's just that there were one or two vendors that took a little bit longer than what they should have to get back to us. They’re quick at taking care of the issues, like with our AC and ice maker. They're very professional and respectful.

So Old Republic's email contradicts what I heard from the technician. Other than that, if my friends ask me about Old Republic, I could say that even if they don't have any potential issues, they should get a safety net for the appliances.

    I recently purchased a new AC unit through my home warranty. Less than a year later, it malfunctioned. However, Due to an overlap policy, and despite not receiving any notice, the third notice was sent out by mail on July 27th. Today, August 5th, I paid the renewal fee, only to be informed that I am no longer eligible for AC unit servicing. This situation feels unjust, as I paid for the renewal but am now being told my coverage is void. In addition to the issue with the AC, I experienced significant frustration with customer service. I was on hold for an hour before my call was answered, and the first representative hung up on me. When I called back, I was transferred multiple times, and the third representative informed me that I couldn’t file a claim for repairs due to an overlap in the policy.

    I am a Realtor and have had a Old Republic Warranty for the properties I manage for many years. I just put in a service request for one of the properties because the AC was not working. After taking my information, I was told the latest payment (Remember I have been with Old Republic for many years) for this property was received after the grace period, therefore they would not cover this service request and any other requests for another week. Imagine my surprise. I don't know when they received the check, however my records show the check was written a week before the policy expired. Not sure if the check was delayed in the mail (we all know how reliable the mail has gotten) or if Old Republic didn't process the check.

    Bottom line, the young lady I spoke with was very rude, and repeatedly said they would not honor service. I requested to speak with someone else and she refused. This experience is absolutely the worst I have ever had with any company. I can no longer recommend Old Republic and will advise all my Associates to seriously review their relationship with this company.

    After reading what all Old Republic offers, it works best for me to keep it year after year for things that happen around the house and have that extra coverage. What I like the most is, from when I've had to use it, I've only had the service call fee that I've had to pay. Also, majority of the time, most of the labor or whatever needs to be corrected has been covered by Old Republic. That's helped a lot financially with the savings.

    I've used the online service once. Normally, I just call in to the Old Republic phone number and it's an automated system, and it goes quickly. You'll just get a work order number and wait for them to contact you back. So far, the quality of the contractors has been good and knowledgeable. I've had to use the heating and cooling services and the plumbing services. And they've been good with the contractors they've sent out. However, each year they seem to go up on the plans. And having to renew the coverage and the price is a little high. But other than that, it's been good.

Now since I have two new units and have not had to call ORHP for support my coverage is being dropped effective 7/25. I get notified on 7/11 that I am not going to get renewed. It takes 30 days for a new plan to get activated with another home warranty company so I will have a gap for a few weeks. Hopefully nothing happens.

    My soon to be mother-in-law helped us purchase the house and strongly recommended Old Republic. Sometimes, with home warranty companies, it feels like a fight to get your claim approved. But I've never felt like that at all with Old Republic. They have been reliable. It's always easy to go through the process and the communication has been good. A communication failure only happened once with a contractor where they were running late and didn't notify us. Also, one of the contractors tried to charge us directly. I had double paid one of the contractors by accident. But that was not Old Republic's fault. Our experience with them has been seamless. We had to fix nearly everything in this house when we moved in and they were a blessing to us. I know that if something disastrous happens, we're covered.

    It's my first house by myself so it was nice that when my hot water heater broke, it didn't cost an arm and a leg. Old Republic did their thing. When I called them, the lady took the co-payment which is $100 per call then had the people schedule it. She could be friendlier though. But the contractor for the HVAC was great. The garage door person was nice, but the garage door hasn't been behaving the best. I texted him to tell him but he said I needed to go through the claims process.

    Old Republic takes my request and they get somebody out and fix it. Even when I need new parts and it takes a few days, it still isn't that much time. The only thing is there's this one group who said they needed to charge me $35, which was fine. They gave me a thing where I pay on my phone and when I went to pay it, it said the link expired. They never sent me another one and now this company said they're gonna send me the collection agency and it's not even my fault. I know Old Republic has nothing to do with that, though. It's the company that they sublet. Other than that, I'm happy with the work. They did everything in a quick and timely manner and they were very professional. They're very reliable. I've heard other people that have had a warranty and they take forever or they deny the service and Old Republic is not like that.

    The claims process was confusing. We didn't understand why when Old Republic tried to repair, they took the repairs that were done out of the money that was allotted to us. We ended up getting a new stove. How else were we supposed to know why the stove needed to be replaced? Why did we have to pay for the repairs? If the thing cannot be repaired, they will pay for it. But I don't think it's fair that we were allotted $5,000 and they took $200 off of that because we had it repaired before it was replaced.

    My experience with Old Republic has been okay but it wasn't the greatest in the beginning. They took over two months for them to help us get a new washing machine. They had some guy replace the part and he told me to wait four hours before turning it on. He's a scam artist because I found out through his web page that he does this to everybody. He comes and tells them to wait four hours for their product and it will start. But it didn't. I contacted him over and over again, and he wouldn't answer my calls. Old Republic just kept telling me they were trying to get ahold of him. It dragged on forever and I had to spend so much money going to the laundromat. It finally got replaced but it was only because we left a bad review.

    The only thing that Old Republic gave us was the check to buy a new washing machine but they didn’t do anything with the guy. And they plan to keep using him for his services despite all the bad reviews he has on his website. It wasn't a good experience with the washing machine. I'm not that happy with how long it dragged but right now, Old Republic is helping us with our water heater. So, it's going good so far. We've gone over a week without a water heater but the part just came in today. So, it's just been a little rough.

    First, it took a half hour to convince them where AC unit was located. Then, they didn't have a ladder. And, no, the AC unit is not on the roof, but did need a ladder to access -- you didn't ask that when problem reported. Then they told me my washable screen filters were old style and not efficient. So I did authorize them to put in new paper filters. Several hours later they sent the wife to put them in. I just noticed that one is not in place properly, but I am 79 year old widow and will not climb a ladder to fix. They also just took the washable filters without asking me.

    Updated on 7/24/2024: It's now July 24th, and we have had 13 service calls out to fix my AC. This last one cost us an additional $85.09 as a new AC compressor was covered, but part of the installation was not covered. Once the new compressor was put in, they discovered that we need a new control board as well. That's another appointment we are waiting to get confirmed.

    Someone named Aaron C. from Old Republic responded to my original review here to let me know that someone from the company will reach out. A woman named Mary Jane did in fact reach out two days later and left a voicemail with an extension number. I have called twice. The extension is for another person named Ali, and I've left two voicemails and have not heard anything back from the company. I see the same Aaron C. has responded to each negative review here with a promise that someone will follow up. That's a well-known company PR trick to make it look like the company actually cares about your issues. Do not let that fool you into thinking Old Republic is actually going to help you resolve your issues. It is still almost impossible to talk to someone.

    The one person I DID actually speak to after this review, her name was Brittany, was terribly rude, and told me that this is just the way this company operates, and we are free to handle our AC issues on our own. When I asked if I could speak to her supervisor, she told me she was not available. She also told she was not allowed to give me her supervisor's direct extension, but she did give me her name. When I tried to contact her supervisor through the name directory I found that the phone option to contact people by name does not work. It's only dead air.

    Finally, I'd like to note that we have the Platinum Package with Old Republic. That upgrade will do you ZERO favors as they refuse to actually replace anything. Please. Do yourself a favor and use another home warranty company. Old Republic may help you fix minor issues, but if you have anything major break it will be death by a thousand service calls. It will be impossible to talk to someone, and when you do talk to someone they are mostly unhelpful and very rude.

    Original review: This company is slowly, but surely losing our trust. We bought our home in February 2024 and, despite the home passing two inspections, including a VA inspection, we started having HVAC issues in March 2024. We have had 3 different service providers come to fix various issues SEVEN different times. Now it's mid-July in Texas, and the compressor on the unit has gone out. The service provider has submitted their report, but is waiting on Old Republic to tell them if they can purchase the parts needed, or if Old Republic will provide them.

    I have been on hold for over an hour trying to speak to a person about how to move forward. It is 102 degrees here in Fort Worth, TX. Our bedrooms have hit 90 degrees now, and my kids are having a hard time sleeping. At this point, Old Republic could have purchased two new AC units for the same money they've spent patching this one. The worst part is the recording telling us that our repair has been authorized, while the AC company is saying they are still waiting on authorization, and there seems to be no one to speak to get clarification. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    We've had a couple of instances where we needed to use Old Republic and it seemed to work out all right. But now, they have gone up in their price. They didn't tell us ahead of time that their fee was going up. It went from $66 to 80-some dollars. We've had a lot of home warranties and we've never had a home warranty go up. And then it's a $100 call-out fee now where it was an 85 call-out fee before. Until they went up on their fees, they pretty much did okay.

    Also, some of the people that they had were low-grade people. I don't think they go with the top-notch guys with super good reviews, so that could be improved. We had an air conditioning issue. They were okay on the time slot, considering that the weather is hot and all the AC guys are busy, but they usually come up with somebody in an okay manner compared to what other people are doing. But what gets us most is what you can get out of them for the price they charge. Our air conditioner makes a lot of noise. I've asked them time and time again, "This boy, I think, is noisy.

Both companies we had didn't seem extremely professional. The AC people were very young, which was fine, but the owner didn’t wanna have the kids do work without him seeing it. So we had to schedule again. The second time, the young technicians came out again but the owner still didn't come. They said the problem with last time isn't there now. So, everything's fine. They left without doing any work.

    The plumbing guys had a lot of issues with them. They said they were gonna double charge me. I said they didn’t fix it the first time and they were gonna come out and try again. The rep said it was another 200 bucks and I told her that wasn’t what she told me. I checked my credit card and she ended up not charging me for a second visit. But it was unprofessional. Both times, the contractors said there was nothing wrong. Although with the plumbing, we had a couple of issues, and they fixed one. It was a bathtub upstairs and a leaky faucet in the tub was dripping. Old Republic had a plumber come out again and he fixed the drip. The leak stopped but the faucet feels flimsy now.

    The urgent service was a little delayed when I needed something immediately done for a water heater that was replaced ‘cause we had water on the floor. Old Republic doesn't have anything classifying urgent cases for water damage like a water heater. They don't have anybody that can get out there right away to help within a few days. They need to work on urgent cases when we have an immediate need so that they have people on call to help with those situations. But the other ones that were normal wear and replace, the service was good then. The contractors are perfect.

    I have had Old Republic for four years now and I have the appliance package. I have used it a few times and have been satisfied with every service request until the last request with my dryer. The dryer started making a noise and I put in the request immediately. I was told the primary repair would have been the bearings going out, however it caused secondary damage to the drum and secondary damage isn’t covered. I understand that. And I was okay with that. Paid my $110 and they said the primary damage cost could be reimbursed and put toward buying a new dryer. They said I’d need an invoice for a purchase to get the $143. I do not know how an invoice for another dryer has anything to do with what they owed me for the initial cause of my dryer to stop working properly.

    I called a month after I emailed the email address they gave me to settle it letting them know I bought a used dryer and never got a response. During the call after waiting one month, I was on hold almost half an hour only to get a woman who told me numerous times “you were told.” She was the nastiest customer service rep I’ve ever encountered and I told her she was rude. She didn’t care. I hope someone pulls the call because I’ll continue leaving reviews for the nasty way she spoke to me. I don’t have time to remain on hold for hours to get someone I can ask the question what can I send in to meet the requirements of an “invoice” for a used dryer. That’s all I was asking of her and she continued to tell me “you were told” over and over. The fact that I can’t send an email to a monitored email box to write the complaint is also crazy. So, I have to leave a review instead.

    Horrible customer service, nothing is really covered and $100 for every time we called. It's ridiculous plus the $115 a month. Never ever again I’ll consider or even recommend this company to anyone. Very Bad experience.

    Don’t use this warranty company. They are cost escape artists. I had one request for service that took over 3 months for them to respond to and then they found the smallest reason to deny it. When I asked for that denial in writing, they said “We never respond back in writing”. There’s a reason why they do that. Don’t use these guys, ever. It’s a scam.

    We just bought our house in April 2024 and moved in end of May 2024. We already have multiple requests open: HVAC and Water Heater. I'll give them one extra star for the Water Heater - this was taken care of fairly easily SO FAR. Still waiting on the final report for this. This review is about the HVAC- there is a massive leak coming from the drain pain every time we use the AC, closet drenched and everything.

    My first request was sent in on 6/2/24 and the tech they sent out stated there was no issue with the unit and that it was an installation issue. This is NOT the case. I've had multiple other AC companies(not under warranty) come out and try to diagnose and not one of them stated anything about installation. This AC unit has been here since the house was built(2009) so how can it ALL OF A SUDDEN become an installation issue??? So ORHP called me back saying it's not going to covered because of what the tech they sent out diagnosed it as. So I went back and requested for a second opinion.

    ORHP stated I would need to have my own AC guy come out again and make another diagnosis since the previous diagnosis was made prior to ORHP's tech coming out. So I go and call in my AC guy again to get a new report and send it into ORHP so they can approve a second opinion. Eventually they agree, the reports differed so they will send out another company to check out the AC. Now it's 6/12/24 and they approved for the second opinion to come out. All was going okay. Tech came out 6/19/24, 17 days since the original request(it is now 6/25/24 as I sit here writing this). We're in southern California, it's getting to be about 100 degrees outside at this time and I'm 8 months pregnant, not the biz, I'm tellin ya.

    I've been calling in everyday to ORHP to get an updated status on the AC report but they keep telling me the company they sent out hasn't put in the report yet. They tried calling but no answer from the AC company. So I hang up and try to call AC company myself and get through on the 2nd ring. So I ask why they haven't submitted the report yet. The AC company states they have been trying to but no one will answer at ORHP and ORHP states no one will answer at the AC company.

    I was able to speak with someone on BOTH ends so I don't see what the issue is??? I called back to ORHP and asked if I can three-way call the AC company and the man on the phone rudely said "I'm not gonna take a report while you're on the other line" and chuckled. If I am the ONLY one that can get through, I don't see why I can't call the AC company for you guys and I can hang up. I need this report to go in before I lose my mind. It's been almost a month now, it's 100 degrees out, I'm sweating the baby weight off waiting for some kind of action.

    Old Republic Home Warranty is a textbook example of unreliability, arrogance, and terrible customer service. From excessively delayed responses to incompetent contractors and dismissive customer representatives, my experience with them was consistently frustrating. They failed to promptly address issues, showed arrogance in their interactions, and their customer service was abysmal with long hold times and inadequate support. Dealing with Old Republic was more of a hassle than a solution, making them a company I cannot recommend for anyone seeking reliable home warranty services.

    I called Old Republic because our stove was malfunctioning. They asked for my credit card number and told me there would be an $85 charge for them sending a service tech out. Then they told me they don't have any technicians in my area, so I would have to find my own. The email they followed up with stated the $85 fee would be deducted from the final claim payment since I was hiring the technician myself. Then...they turned around and charged my credit card for the $85, even though they provided no service and I was not asking them to pay any claim!

    I am writing to say how much I appreciated the repair service (on my oven) that I got from PYE'S APPLIANCE, particularly their repairman, Morris. PYE's APPLIANCE responded to my request quickly and Morris, after examining my oven and ordering the required replacement parts, returned and did an excellent job fixing everything. He replaced the lower oven baking coil, the three prong range cord, checked to make sure my burners were in alignment and made sure that everything was in good working order before he left. I will definitely recommend Old Republic Home Protection, PYE'S APPLIANCE and Morris! Thank you!!

    A great experience on this claim. From the CSR to the technician who arrived, a great experience! He found issue immediately, was professional, kind, helpful, and really was exceptional!! Even though it was an easy fix, tech went beyond to be helpful with educating me on the fan light bulbs, tightened up the fan etc, etc… I would have this company come out again anytime.

    The on-line service was easy to navigate in order to get a plumber to the house to resolve a problem. The plumber was honest with his opinion of the job. He gave sound and reasonable advice and he resolved the goal for his visit. I expressed the information that the Home 'Depot installers told me about a leak under my sink, thus they could not finish their job that I had paid for. The plumber tested the valve and there was no leak. He continued to hook up the plumbing to the newly installed refrigerator within a reasonable amount of time. The expense was reasonable and with this I am content with the vendor that works with Old Republic. Thank you, Ron

    Plumbers were on time and took precautions not to track mud and dirt into my house. When they finished, they explained in detail just what they did to fix the problem. Then they cleaned up and removed all materials used to fix the issue. They then explained what to do in the future in case the issue returned. The plumber called Old Republic to ensure all work was covered to include the cost of materials.
