I am severely disappointed in your service you offer. I bought your warranty being told it was some of the best in the industry. I made my first claim this year on my outside a/c unit not restarting. I was told a technician would contact me to make an appointment, never received a call for two days. I had to have my a/c back on so I did a restart on the system, turning the breaker off outside and turning the thermostat off then waiting and turning everything back on. The system restarted.
I called customer service back the next day after restarting it and was told since it was running there is nothing a technician could do and they don’t cover diagnostics. I was told I could have my own technician come out and inspect the unit and then have them call in and tell them what’s wrong with the unit. I did that and the technician gave his written diagnosis and presented the exact same diagnosis to your company. Only to be called and told that my claim was denied because of corrosion on the fins, which has nothing to do with unit cutting out but that’s what your customer service people told me was the reason my claim was denied.
I still have Freon in my unit and the corrosion isn’t to the compressor assembly which is what the technician told them was the main problem because of the age of unit. It was built in 1995, so the unit is almost 24 years old, the technician provided pictures to your approval department, now after reaching back out and with numerous calls to get this resolved, I can’t get a call back. I’ve reviewed the contract and the parts the technician said are the problem are covered, because it is a mechanical failure. Fernanda ** and Kevin ** are of no help and not willing to listen and deny me talking to anyone above them. Please help!!

I've had a wonderful experience with Total Home. I switched to them since I was done with American Home Shield. I had another provider too but I didn't get the service that they claimed. When my garage door quit working because the motor burned out, I made my first claim with Total Home. At first, I tried to do that on the internet, but I couldn't get it. When I called a number, I couldn't get anybody for about a whole week. I called again and instead of hitting 2, I hit the number after that. Somebody finally got to me to do my claim. Customer service was okay. They were really courteous and nice. The contractor was excellent too. He put a new motor up there. My garage door has been working wonderfully and I haven’t had any problems.

I recently filed a claim with Total Home Protection for our air conditioning unit. It wasn’t putting out any cold air. The compressor wasn’t working on it because the solenoid had gone out. But the fan was running all the time. Submitting the claim was easy. I was kinda disappointed because when we called in and reported it, they said it’d be 24 to 48 hours before we hear from anybody. They didn’t tell us that 24 to hours didn’t start until Monday even though we filed that on Saturday. So, I was a little disappointed there. And they tried to tell me my copay was gonna be $45, and I said, “No. My contract says 35.”
They fixed the issue the following Friday, a week after we called them. My wife has breathing problems. We’re sitting in a house at a 100 degrees during the daytime. And what do they mean no air conditioning in a higher degree heat is not considered an emergency? They said, “Well, you’re not having an emergency.” So I said, “What happens if somebody dies, then it becomes an emergency?” But once the guy got here, everything was fine. The guy for the garbage disposal came the same day. But again, it was the same type of thing within 24 to 48 hours. They don’t tell you it doesn’t start until Monday because Total Home Protection is not open on the weekends.

The heating element in the dryer went out in January and we filed a claim then. It was handled. On July 15th, I filed another claim and it had gone out the day before. The drum stopped turning. At that time, the service was fine. The issue that I had was that whenever I called in, I wanted to have the same guy who did the initial repair to the dryer and the heating element to come out because, one, I'm familiar with him, and two, he had done some other work with me and did a good job. Total Home Protection said that was fine. They said I could call him and he would know what to do so I did that. He didn't answer. The next day, Total Home Protection had somebody else call me. At that time, I had the other guy calling me back. He said, "Well, it looks like your claim has already been handed to somebody else. There's really not much I can do." That was a little frustrating.
The contractor came in about two or three days but like all contractors, they don't communicate. My dryer still isn't even fixed. The guy said it needed a new motor. He placed a service order request and Total Home Protection approved it. For a new motor, it's like 118 bucks. It is an older dryer. I've had it several years, but the contractors said, "Hey, look. It's better to replace the motor than it is to get a new one because this is a good dryer, and they don't make appliances like this anymore. Let's just replace the motor. You'll be better off for it." I told him to do whatever he thought was best.
Whenever he placed the order, he told me that it would be a few days being that he'd come back out and fix this since the part came in. There was kinda lack of communication. The part got backordered because it's an older dryer. He still hasn't received the part. I called in to Total Home Protection to see if there's another remedy or another solution to remedy my issue here of not having a dryer. This is back in August 6th.
At this point, I'm waiting for the dryer to get fixed. As soon as it's fixed, I'm canceling my service. It's been horrendous to deal with Total Home Protection. My major point of contention and frustration with Total Home Protection is I read the service agreement and I read the contract that I signed. I know that they have no control over how long it takes a third party to get a part to the contractor to fix the dryer. I work with clients all the time, and so at some point in time, there has to be a decision made that if it's gonna take longer than two weeks to get a part in to fix the dryer, at what point is it better and cheaper and better for their customer service to just replace the dryer. That was my whole argument.
I was speaking with Matt and after I told him what was going on, he said he needed to confirm everything with the contractor. I told him I just spoke to the contractor and in the middle of trying to say that, he hung up on me. He called me back about two hours later. Either he was on the phone with a contractor for a very long time, or I'm just not a priority.
In speaking with him, he said they'd give me a month free. I told him I didn't want a month free. I want a solution to my problem. I work in financial services for a living so I just broke down a little simple math. I paid them about $432 in premiums then I paid $120 in service fees. So, all in, I've paid about $550. At that price, it would have been cheaper for me not to have the service at all and just buy a new dryer the first time. So, it doesn't make sense to keep the service. He put me on hold and about 10 seconds later, he came back on the phone and told me that he spoke to a manager. They'd be willing to give me $200 towards a new dryer. Again, that doesn't solve anything. It doesn't make me whole on anything. Their just reinforcing that there's no point to continue using them as service provider.
From the marketing material and the coverage list, Total Home Protection seemed to cover more at a fair cost so I went them them but what I need to do is get a select appliance contract from a different company and basically cover big appliances like an AC unit and hot water heater. For the dishwasher or washer/dryer, I'll pay for them myself 'cause there's no point in using Total Home Protection. I filled out a complaint the other day and sent it in to the Better Business Bureau. There have been several others that did that and the Better Business Bureau is warning people not to use Total Home Protection who is not even affiliated with them.

Unfortunately I purchased a warranty from Total Home Protection shortly after I bought my house. The first call to them concerned my air conditioner. The claim was refused because it cost too much and I didn't have the policy that long. I was told after 30 days I could use it but that was not the case. They said I would be refunded because of the confusion if I didn't cancel my policy, 30 plus days and still no refund. When I called about my dryer they said it would not be covered until it was completely broken. In the paperwork sent to the contractor it clearly stated to collect the money but don't repair if it's just noise. One contractor came out and never followed up. A second contractor called and wanted another $45 to look at the dryer but still may not repair it. This company is a scan to me. All these five star reviews must be in a different zip code because my experience has been a nightmare.

I really like the experience with the individuals that Total Home Protection worked with. But the provider had to call in and get approval, and that was a very bad experience each and every time that they came 'cause the provider came out three times for my air conditioner, and it was a very bad experience with the person that was giving the approval. It only took about half an hour to get approved, but Total Home was giving the vendor a very hard time and trying to lowball them. It just left a really bad taste in my mouth.

I live in Atlanta, GA where the temps can get far into the 90's. I placed a service call to have my AC repaired. The tech came out to repair it. This worked for 24 hours. I tried to contact the tech again but could not reach him so I contacted the company. Since it had not been 30 days since the tech originally came out, they could not send anyone else even though no one could contact the original tech.
The tech finally contacted me to say that he'd had to order a part and was waiting for it to arrive. He was finally scheduled to come out one afternoon on a Friday. Not only did he not come out but he didn't even call to say that he wasn't coming. I tried reaching him but with no luck. After calling the company to complain about the tech, I was still told that I had to wait for the tech to contact me even after several unsuccessful attempts were made to reach him by both myself and the company. Two weeks from the date of the original service request, I ended up having to reach out to one of our local news stations to get results. After all this, the tech had the audacity to appear to have an attitude once he finally contacted me.

My HVAC went down, THP refuse to cover it indicating the motor blew out a while ago and the issue was a pre-existing issue. If I didn't use my AC since the previous year how would I know this existed? I called at the start of summer, and now we're dealing with sweltering heat and fans. I just bought this plan and I'm HIGHLY disappointed. The contractor that was sent out looked like someone from Craigslist, very unprofessional. I did not have cash, and he would not accept a credit card with an additional ridiculous fee.
Now I've been waiting forever it seems to get a human on the phone to help me figure out what to do next?? This is horrible, I might as well go back to American Home Shield. Yes their deductible was higher but they had better professionalism, and vetted contractors who came to do the work. Please they did NOT require any money to change hands at the time of service, they billed me, I paid them, not the contractor. What is the purpose of a home warranty if they are only going to deny claims.

We have always tried to keep a home warranty policy. We got something in our office about Total Home and we thought we'd give them a try. Customer service has been very nice and professional. They told me exactly what was gonna happen and it did. When something was wrong with our air conditioner, Total Home sent a contractor who repaired it. It's still working.
Our most recent claim was for our dishwasher. It was working then it quit. We couldn't get the water to drain out of it. I called the home warranty company and they sent out a technician. He came to look at the dishwasher and it was an issue with the pump. They had to order one and they are gonna be putting it in next week. We're satisfied.

I initially to try a one-year policy, but the sales person on the phone told me if you buy three-year policy you get 6 months for free. I hesitated for a long time and not willing to do it. But I was told three years only cost $1,050 and cover 3.5 year, everything will be covered and I only pay $45 each time they send technician to check if anything breaks. I thought it was good deal, my policy started 8/1/2018. Now it comes nightmare: On May 29, 2019, my air condition stopped working, called and waited about 40 minutes to speak with a person. The next day I got email to tell me with Claim #: ** to call technician. I called right. I got the Technician's phone number. It took 6 days for Technician to come. On June 5, tech checked and said coil broken. Need to change to new. It cost $1448. Technician filed claim for me.
On June 11, received Karon’s email, my claim got denied. Says coil is not covered. Well, it when started policy last year it said covered. After long argue and complaint over the phone about it, she finally agreed to pay $150 for this claim and I never see the money so far yet. This help nothing compare to $1448 to fix it. Then next day called again, the phone number takes forever to get a person to answer. Auto answer: "You are No. 17 in line." I spend other hours to wait to get a person to speak with. This time I was transferred several times to someone. He gave me email to send. I was told to send email to totalhomeprotection.com to request cancellation. This email was sent on June 14, 2019 to request my full refund back since I never had any claims, and this is first time and was denied. From then to now, Cherish was assigned to help with my refund. We have a lot emails and a lot dramas and so many excuses not refund.

Filing a claim with Total Home Protection seems like it takes a little time and they said it’s not for emergencies. It’s just for things that maybe could wait a couple of days until they get somebody out. I called Total Home Protection the other day about the air conditioning that wasn't cooling, but I guess there was an issue with the payment. It wasn't going. The contractor for the plumbing issue in Illinois was really nice but it was a little bit more costly.

The consumer placed a claim for an Air Conditioner not cooling on 7/23/2019. The vendor reported the unit was tripping the breaker and there was an internal failure within the compressor. Pictures were submitted.
It has been determined the failure is with the compressor that has shorted to ground. Compressor burnout is a very specific mode of failure that is caused by high temperatures in the windings or discharge area of the compressor. This excessive heat breaks down the motor winding insulation, which causes a loss of electrical resistance and results in a windings breaking open and touching the inner casing of the compressor, thus causing the direct short. Condensers are built to cool the refrigerant through the condenser coil when the fan pulls the air up and through, as the outdoor ambient air would be cooler then the operating temperature of the refrigerant. This cooling of the refrigerant also works as an agent to lubricate and cool the windings of the compressor also. Condenser coils that are dirty or embedded with dirt and debris would restrict air flow and this cooling process of both the refrigerant and the compressor itself. A power spike or surge would cause direct voltage to the compressor and short the windings out instantly, and a brown out or loss of a leg would cause high amp draw on the compressor that would cause the overheating and internal melting of the wires. If contaminants enter the sealed refrigerant system such as acid from a prior failed compressor that wasn’t cleaned out, non-condensable such as moisture or braze residue that wasn’t vacuumed out properly, or debris from gauge hook ups, these could also cause the failure of the compressor. The contaminants in the line are not able to be properly compressed with the gas to or mix properly with the oil in the compressor and cause a separation and loss of lubricant for the windings and thus causing the overheating and shorting of the compressor. Failures as such, are operating conditions that are not standard and units are not designed to handle and thus causing the catastrophic failure of the shorted to ground compressor.
Our policy only covers failures which are caused from normal wear and tear. As per Section 1A of policy we are unable to cover this claim as this does not constitute a normal wear and tear mechanical failure.
I. BASIS FOR COVERAGE
During the term of this Agreement, we agree to pay the covered costs to repair or replace the items listed as covered on your Agreement Coverage Summary if any such items become inoperable due to mechanical failure caused by normal wear and tear. Determination of Coverage including the operational condition as of the Agreement effective date for any claim will be made solely by us, considering but not limited to, our independent contractor’s diagnosis, hereinafter referred to as the “Service Contractor”. This Agreement does not cover any known or unknown pre-existing conditions. It is understood that WE ARE NOT A SERVICE CONTRACTOR and is not itself undertaking to repair or replace any such systems or components. This Agreement covers single-family homes, new construction homes, condominiums, townhomes, and mobile homes under 5,000 square feet, unless an alternative dwelling type (i.e. above 5,000 square feet or multi-unit home) is applied, and appropriate fees are paid. This Agreement will not cover systems or appliances within (a) commercial properties; (b) residential properties used for business purposes, including, but not limited to, dwellings used for rest homes, day care centers, schools and/or professional offices; (c) common areas of condominiums, multi-family houses and/or cooperatives; (d) vacant properties, and; (e) foreclosed/short sold properties. Coverage applies to the systems and components mentioned as “covered” in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement so long as such systems and components:
A. Become inoperable due to normal wear and tear; and
B. Are in place and in proper working order on the effective date of this Agreement; and
C. Are located inside the confines of the main foundation of the home or attached or detached garage, with the exception of the air conditioner, exterior pool/spa, septic system, and well pump.

I do claims over the phone and Total Home Protection's representatives are not the best but they’re okay. Sometimes they don’t seem to care and they don’t wanna answer your questions. They tell me that I would get notified on my email but I don't have an email. I have to go to the library for that. I try to tell them that and to just call me but that has never happened. This last time, I had to call. My sump pump had quit and it was raining. Good thing I have a drain in the middle of the floor where it is. I called up Total Home Protection and they said they would let me know in 48 hours. Then finally, I called up and they gave me a name and told me to call up this guy. But if I hadn't called, I would’ve never known who to call.
The contractor took the information and we set up a time for him to come out here. He showed up on time and everything was really nice. But he said that he didn't even know if he wanted to do it. He called up Total Home and he was arguing over the phone with them about how much the sump pump cost. I guess they really wanted to lowball him and he hung up. He wasn't too happy about that. He was also afraid that it was gonna take forever to get his money. But he told me he would help me out and he did it.
However, he also said he was not gonna take any more calls from Total Home Protection. He said that once in the past, he had helped them out for an emergency but he never got anything from Total Home. He said that he didn't know why they kept having people call him. He didn't have a contract with them and he didn't wanna deal with them. I don’t know whether Total Home even has contract providers in this area anymore. If there was something wrong with the plumbing in the house, who would they call if this guy doesn’t take them? So I’m not too sure about this company. Total Home Protection also takes the money out of my checking account just like that – no if's, and's or but's. It seems like they’ve gotta grab it when they can. Right now, I’m trying to figure out if I should really keep them or get rid of them because I found out a lot of stuff about them.

I purchased my Total Protection plan from Sam in Philadelphia when my previous home warranty was due to expire. I was taken in by the fact that he told me that if and when I needed to file a claim it would be directly with him. That is not true. I called the same number as everyone else, I was put on hold, I finally decided to take the call back option so I didn't have to sit on the phone waiting. The representative called later, I filed the claim - it has been two days and I haven't heard one word from anyone. I called back today and was on hold again for a ridiculous amount of time, still waiting for a call back to get a repairman scheduled.
So far I'm not impressed. I can't imagine how the repair or denial process is going to turn out. I will follow up with another review if I'm ever able to get this issue resolved. I was never told that it would be hours on the phone and possibly two days or more to get notified about the status of my claim. My problem is that if I find the need to go back to my previous home warranty co. there is a 30 day wait to file a claim. I have a broken dryer, myself an infant and a senior citizen in my home. I need a dryer.
UPDATE I phoned in to check the status of my claim at 1:54pm was on hold for 10 minutes, call returned at 2:15pm and the rep told me that they hadn't found anyone to accept my claim yet, he transferred me to resolution where I was placed on hold for 9 minutes before I finally hung up. I find this to be unacceptable however it isn't possible to find someone to cancel. I don't have the kind of time it takes to reach the co. file a claim and wait for a notification of a repair technician (which still hasn't happened).

It was a little over a year ago when one Total Home Protection sales reps contacted me on multiple occasions. On the third call, I decided to give the kind salesman a few minutes of my time. The friendly employee reassured me that for $1 a day my budget would be safeguarded and protected against any break down not related to normal wear and tear. As a stay at home mom of three small children working hard to survive on a single income, this sounded reassuring. The salesman also said that his company has an “unwavering” commitment to serving customers just like me and assured me that this plan would work well for our family. Knowing that we had recently purchased our home and had a good home inspection report, in addition to the fact that my husband and I spend a lot of weekends at home working on home maintenance items, I went ahead and signed up. I received a welcome email, but no attachments, no contract.
After a year into our plan, the week of April, (April 23rd) and to our surprise, our air conditioner was only blowing warm air. I immediately called Total Home Protection. Rather quickly I spoke with a customer service representative and was assigned a claim (#**). Within 24 hours I heard back from the service technician by the name of Appliance Brothers. I had never heard of them and looked them up online. All I found was an Appliance Brothers that sold used appliances. I went out on a limb and trusted Total Home Protection’s technician.
They came to my house on April 24th to look at our unit. They spent all day here looking through my air conditioner and speculated that it could be the capacitor. They replaced it and it still didn’t work (they covered that part). They discovered the unit was low on R22 refrigerant and sold me two pounds (which wasn't covered). I also had to pay the $45 deductible. When they left I was out of pocket $125 + 45 deductible. Within an hour the air conditioner was once again blowing warm air. I called the Appliance Brothers back and they returned in the morning. They spent all day here looking at the unit. Ultimately they sold me three additional pounds of refrigerant and said they found a leak at the Schrader valve that they repaired it. I had to pay an additional $350.
Within a day of the service, the cooler air returned and we had a cool rainy May. While my AC unit appeared to be repaired, I was left feeling very unsatisfied with Total Home Protection. I called to speak with someone and after some run-around I received a refund of $100. Thinking everything was fixed and good I decided to stay on with your company.
On June 4th I went to turn my air on and once again the unit was blowing warm air. I called Appliance Brothers back and they said it had been over 30 days and that their only tech was in Arizona for a few months and to call Total Home Protection back. I called and received a new claim and because it was 100+ degrees outside, and 92 degrees in my home I opted to find my own technician. I called several and no one I found would work with a home warranty company. When I finally found one, they showed up and on arrival, the tech informed me that they don’t work with any home warranty companies.
At this point, I was so hot and frustrated that I was willing to eat the cost and see what was wrong. He informed me that all of the R22 refrigerants had leaked out and told me that whoever sold me that much last month was unethical, as it is like lighting your money on fire and watching it burn. He said that no one in his company would sell us any, not even as a temporary solution because it is so bad for the environment and California is banning it next year so they have discontinued major repairs on all R22 machines, as it is not right to invest major money into a unit that will essentially be obsolete next year in our state. I paid him (Beutler Air Conditioning and Plumbing) $89 for his service call and he left.
After a restless night with hot and cranky children, the following morning I called Total Home Repair back hoping to go with one of your technicians. I spoke with a service agent and filed claim #**. When I received a copy and saw that it was for Appliance Brothers, knowing their solo tech was not only out of state for an extended period but had charged us $500 for essentially nothing I simply gave up. My mom stepped in to help me, calling you and when she reached someone, they said that you weren’t even licensed in California. At that point I was left holding the bag, feeling completely taken advantage by Total Home Protection.
The following day I had a licensed technician come out, Clark and Rush Heating and Air. They concurred with what Beutler said and they too would not do any extensive diagnostic or repairs to any R22 units for ethical reasons. At this point, we decided to have a new AC unit installed, as it is not right to subject my children to 100+ degree weather with no reprieve. I have called several times to cancel, and both times I was sent to the retention department and after holding for over 40 minutes, I was told by an automated recording that I would receive a callback and was hung up on, with no call back ever. I was told to file a complaint at claims@totalhomeprotection.com which I did yesterday.
I called again today and after 45 minutes a customer service rep answered and she said that the retention department was getting ready to leave for the day and told me to call back the following day. I now have hours invested in attempting to reach someone to cancel. Homeowners, you would be much better served by putting $30 into a savings account every month than spending it with Total Home Protection.

We’ve had home warranties for a while and they’ve been a lifesaver. I did my due diligence on the internet and heard about Total Home Protection. In my recent claim, I came home and my housekeeper told me I had a leak underneath my sink, and I knew we had a problem. So, I called Total Home and told them what was going on. They gave me a window on when to expect the contractor and also emailed me. They sent somebody out within 24 hours. The young gentleman who came was caring, nice and very clean. He was also very professional and upfront about how long it was gonna take and what he was gonna do. He was amazing. He had to replace the garbage disposal and he was done in 30 minutes. Since then, everything has been perfect. However, we had the same company send somebody out to fix my refrigerator, and there was no way I would have that guy in my house again. Still, Total Home was amazing.

Signing up with Total Home Protection looked like an inexpensive situation. You pay once and then you have it for a long time. We have a property manager who does our claims, and him and Total Home Protection are like oil and water. So, I’m to the point that I feel like I have to change one or the other. With most of the companies that he works with and that we worked with before, it’s very easy online to just make a claim. Now, he can’t get that done online, and then Total Home Protection doesn’t answer the phone. And so, I called them, and said, “Okay. You email him, this is his number.” So, I had given them his number.
Now, I had an air conditioner that needed to be fixed, and the company was so mad and said they’ll never work with Total Home Protection again. So, then, a few days later, a new company called me, and he said, “I am gonna look at this air conditioner,” and so I said, “Well, you have to talk to Chris, the property manager.” I end up in the middle of it which I don’t feel like I need to be. I’ve given permission, it goes right to Chris. So, I called Chris and I said, “Now, there’s this guy. I assumed the first guy was mad, and he didn’t do anything,” and Chris said, “That air conditioner was fixed Sunday.” So, I supposed the guy that fixed it was upset about something but still fixed it. But then, Total Home Protection sent out another guy thinking it didn’t get fixed. I kinda just took a deep breath. It’s like I have to go back to Total Home Protection and talk about, “Can I cancel all of this? Will I get any money back?”
Chris is used to submitting a claim online and the company sends somebody but they have to talk to Chris to make an appointment because he knows the renter’s name. I don’t even know the renter’s name or their number because I have a property manager and we have a number of houses. And then, Total Home Protection calls me. So, it’s frustrating. They should not call me, unless they can’t get a hold of Chris.”
When the second guy was coming, he called and told me he was a few minutes from the house and asked if I could call and tell the renter that he was coming. But I don't know the renter's name or number. I’m playing middleman. It would be great if Chris could just submit a claim online. He just couldn’t because Total Home Protection kept saying he wasn’t the right email. But I’ve called enough times, so they know it is Chris who usually calls. He emails. Also, everybody has different hours that they’d try to call, and then you don’t get somebody. You just get an operator. And then they have to know that property owners have property managers. I’m shocked that these companies like the repair people get my phone number.

I purchased a policy with total home protection and paid in full due to the discount they provided me. I made a claim with them due to my refrigerator not cooling and they denied the claim. I was very upset and close to cancelling and getting a refund on my policy but they offered me a $100 check (to refund my service fee and a little extra) and they lowered my service fee from $60 to $45. After 3 weeks I hadn't received the check and I called them and they claimed I denied the check. Why would I ever deny getting my money back for a job they refused to complete, that's ridiculous.

Total Home Protection is my home warranty because the old place was very terrible and they cost me quite a bit of money. Recently, we had a problem with a brand new dryer. The place we bought it from said that we would have to work with Samsung to get it fixed. Knowing that I had the warranty, I just went ahead and filed the claim to see what Total Home Protection would do. I called them and we walked through the process. They said they would set it up and they did. Contrary to a prior company I used, it was pretty easy.
The reps were attentive. They understood and listened to what I said. They said they would have the actual corporation who would be fixing it get a hold of me, and that I would probably need to give them some more information. They told me that we would be contacted within 48 hours, and we were. We went from there and it went pretty seamlessly. The contractor came out, looked at the dryer and assessed it. They had to buy some parts. They ordered the parts and they came back and fixed it when they said they would. And it's working now. Total Home Protection did what they said they were gonna do. I was pleasantly surprised because I came from a company that did everything wrong and didn't do anything that they were supposed to do. My last one, Select Home Warranty, still owes me like $850 that I know I'll never see.

Homes get older and appliances are gonna start breaking. I was looking online for a home protection plan. And then I looked at the ratings of the top five ones and Total Home Protection was in the top five. We called them because we were having an issue with the refrigerator. The rep we talked with on the phone seemed to be very good and helpful. The technician that they assigned was very professional. He was really good with telling us when he was gonna come, calling us up to make the schedule and gave us a window. He was right on time and he did everything he could. He replaced the part but the issue was still there. So, we’ve gotten to a point with Total Home where they’re going to just pay us a portion of what the refrigerator cost to replace it and I'm gonna have to come up with money out of our pocket to buy a new fridge.
The refrigerator cost us $2,200 and they first offered us $400. Then a claims agent called back within a 20-day window, and said, “We’re willing to give you $700.” I said okay ‘cause I don’t wanna fight and we just wanna get the ref. Another thing was I don’t like the delay. We called up on a Thursday evening and we were told they would get in touch with us within 24 hours but then we didn’t get any feedback until on Monday. They went silent on the weekend. When you have a broken refrigerator, you’re a little stressed about losing everything in it.

My air conditioner broke on Friday and I filed a claim with Total Home Protection on Saturday morning when I realized there was no air and the room temperature was 84 degrees. The answering service said they will assign someone to the claim on Monday or Tuesday. Then I have to wait for them to put me on their schedule. The answering service does not give out the name of the air conditioning repair company, so I cannot call them myself. The next four days the temperatures will be over 90 degrees. We are feeling sick and face the dilemma - do we wait for the Total Home Protection or pay for the service ourselves? We have nowhere else to go with two dogs.

It’s the fan. The fan stopped working.” You could open it and hear that it wasn’t working. He said, “Okay, let me put an easy fix.” I paid him the copay, and he said he has ordered the part and he’d be out.
A week went by and I called him. He said, “Well, we gotta get approval and after approval, it’s gonna be a little while to get the part.” 10 days went by and I called him up. He said they were waiting for the part. It’s one of those parts that you can go down to the store and pick it up. Amazon has them so I was wondering what the the problem was. I figured that the guy probably had a bigger job that he’d make more money on so he just put mine on the back burner or someone did. I just got fed up and I called back. I said, “You know, if this is what’s gonna be happening, I want my money back. You can keep the year.” They never came back out so I had to turn around and talk with one of the representatives. He said that they had authorized the guy to fix it, so it wasn’t really their fault that they were taking their sweet time fixing it. They made the agreement that they would send me the money, but I haven’t gotten it yet.

My dishwasher broke, a technician came to check, and told me it might be too expensive and unworthy to repair. It is a less than 4 years old Whirlpool dishwasher. When I contacted Total Home Protection to discuss the issue, a case manager told me they decided not try to repair it, but instead they would offer me a $100 “market replacement cost” to close this claim!
What about the salesman’s promise of “if we cannot repair it, we will replace it with a compatible new appliance”? Where do you on the earth to replace a dishwasher with the $100? Installation of a dishwasher alone costs more than $100! Plus, I still had to pay the $45 deductible for the technician’s visit. When I aired the frustration to the case manager, she told me there was no other option, they were not going to replace the dishwasher. $100, take it or leave it. It is such a sad business practice. I would NOT recommend this business. Go with other home warranty companies that does offer protection in case you need it. One of my neighbor had the same issue, and got a new dishwasher from her home warranty company.

The consumer placed a claim for the dishwasher on 12/12/2018 stating the unit was not completing the cycles and not draining. The vendor reported the failure was a bad inlet valve, a bad control board, and a bad sensor that needed to be replaced. It was determined that in order to provide a long term solution to future potential problems, we would offer finds to put towards the purchase of a new unit.

3 claims, 2 delayed claim payments and 1 denied claim. My first claim was for my dryer not functioning properly. They denied the claim, but offered a small cash payment. This payment wasn’t sent and I had to call and they said they were switching banks and it resulted in an error. A ceiling fan replacement payment was delayed and I still haven’t received it. Over 2 months ago. The worse case is my AC broke down 6 weeks ago. It was serviced 2 weeks prior to weeks prior to breakdown. The HVAC tech said it was a bad contactor and the claim was denied. I replaced the contactor and the compressor was the issue. Claim denied again. I challenged since I knew it was maintained and they offered $300, which I didn’t accept. Then they offered me $500. The rep said, "I can’t give you more than what you put into the warranty."
I challenged again and they offered me $1000, but I had to sign a letter releasing them of any obligations, not use social or file a claim with consumer advocacy groups. Is this even legal? I wasn’t accepting a $1000 on $3000 claim. Each tech that came out warned us that this warranty company never replaces although they advertise as repair or replace. I found each claim to have extensive appeals, slow responses, delayed payments and denials.

The dryer stopped working. It wouldn’t work and it wouldn’t dry anything. I called Total Home and filed a claim. It took a while for the technician to come here but when he came, he told us that he knew exactly what was wrong, but he didn’t have the part. So, he had called, but I didn’t get his message. So, that’s probably why I didn’t know he called me. When he finally got in touch with me, he told me he’d been trying to call me, and he couldn’t get an answer. And then, he came out and he did a good job. It didn’t take him long at all.

I checked online the various companies that offer home services. Total Home Protection seemed to have good ratings. When we submitted a claim on the dryer though, it was not a pleasant experience because we had a really hard time getting someone on the phone. And we called on Friday and we didn't hear back until the next week. I was expecting a faster reaction from them. And then, when you get someone on the phone, then finally write the case, and then it takes 48 hours. And then, after that, it depends on the contractor.
The contractor may call you right away, or like in this case, he was supposed to come one day, but he did not come. I called him, and he said that he was out of commission, but he didn't tell us exactly why was he out of commission. And then, he said he would come the next day, but he came the third day. And then, he fixed it, but then it was not fixed so he had to come back again. So, it wasn't like the ratings that I saw of Total Home Protection. This first experience was pretty bad.

I'm thinking last Nov. I decided to purchase a home warranty, went online & decided to go with this Co. Worst decision I could have ever made, first I paid the cost up front, to save a few bucks, the cost (1080.00) was for 2 & half years which you could cancel at any time & receive a refund. We had a leaking kitchen faucet. Called the # they gave me. Because it was the weekend we waited 7 days - unbelievable right? That's not the best. They sent 2 plumbers. 1 couldn't speak English well enough, so the other had to translate to English. O.K. This is where it gets real good. They’re looking at the pull-out sprayer to remedy the problem.
Now I'm not a plumber by no means but even I know the leak is NOT at sprayer end. They call their boss. He says just go to the Home Depot & replace the faucet. In the meantime the boss calls to tell me the Ins. plan will not cover the leaking faucet, it has to BROKE. I very politely told them to take a hike. Oh, did I mention they want the $45.00 copay before they turn a wrench! Later in the day after I calmed down I purchased the stem to correct the problem $12.96. Next, I called & cancelled the contract? All kinds of, “We’re sorry. We can make it up.” NO WAY BUD.

The toilet was leaking at the bottom and I didn't notice it. It was hard to detect because I don't use that bathroom. It looked like it was water that was spilled from the shower, but the guy told me that it was coming from the toilet sewer. We called and Total Home Protection said they we gonna get somebody out but they didn't for a while. I called and the first person was pretty professional. She just kinda dealt with everything. She said I would receive an email within 28 to 48 hours and that never happened. I called again and I spoke to another young lady. She said, "Well, it hasn't been 48 hours." The lady was really nasty with me. The third person who came on was wondering why there was no claims thing entered. She couldn't find the number. She said, "Hold on, let me talk to my supervisor," and she got everything taken care of. Everything she said happened just like she said it was gonna happen.
The contractor was cool. He came out, looked at it, and assessed it. Then I told him another problem that I had been having with the toilet. It wouldn't flush all the way down. He said, "Well, I gotta get this approved, so let me call to see if I can get it approved." He went out for about 15 minutes or so, then he came back. He said, "I did get it approved, however, I don't have the part for the second request because I didn't know about that piece. So, I gotta go get the part." He went, got the part, came back, and put all the stuff in. He put the bolts in 'cause he said it was sliding and he put some more caulk on the thing. He also put a new thing to where it flushes and the thing doesn't get stuck when you press the handle down. All that has been fixed. The only thing is I don't know if it's a backlash of that, but my pipes are shaking a little bit. I've been debating whether to call or not 'cause it's in another room so I'm not sure if the two are related or not.

My AC had went out where it wasn’t working properly, so I had called Total Home Protection one day, and they said somebody was gonna call me back to give me some more information about it. They called me back the next day and they said someone’s gonna get in contact with me. But no one ever got in contact with me. The man was three days late. He just showed up at my house and said, “I come to fix the AC.” They had called my phone when the man was at my house. They never called and told me that somebody was gonna come out before that day.
Other than that, the service was good. They really were quicker than I thought they’d be. And I didn't have problems with people coming out. They identified themselves, they told me they were from the company and what company they work for, and the reason why they were here. And they had told me everything I told the people. They told me, “We’ve come to check the AC ‘cause you say it’s not blowing correctly.” So far, so good. I haven't had any problems with the AC since the repair. It’s still blowing. I recommended two people to Total Home already. My experience was good. It was outstanding service. Everybody was respectful, even though they didn't call me to tell me that they were gonna send someone out in a certain day.

Have been with this provider Total Home Protection (THP) for 1 year. We are paying 35$ monthly bill, we are paying $45 for each visit, however none of the problem gets resolved. Every time they come up with a clause against the claim saying this or that part is not covered. Mechanical not covered in some cases, in some other case electrical is not covered. Or maintenance is not done properly. Hence they will not pay.
Off late technicians visiting us against claims have started complaining against Total Home Protection for malpractice and now I'm figuring out that they are true. My AC system Thermostats are not working, the technician came once to check and went back. He then came in for the second time to check the attic and said some of the electrical circuits are malfunctioning as a reason the thermostat is not on and not cooling.
The technician then submitted his report and I found this morning the case has been re-assigned to another appliances team. I am guessing the original report from the earlier technician was not of liking to THP so now they are changing team so that they don't have to pay anything (not own up their responsibility) and can say that it's due homeowners x,y, z fault. This pattern is now absolutely common in the claims I am submitting. The person who came to fix the garage door, said he had no clue why it was not covered. I have complained a few times calling customer service but their attitude is absolutely pathetic. They just don't care as they got the money upfront. Horrible horrible way of running business. Not sure how many customer they are duping this way. I am getting off from them and will strongly caution against using them.

Total Home was presented in a list with 10 other warranty companies to take a look at. I kinda looked them all over with the reviews and compared the benefits to the other, but Total Home was pretty much on par with just about everything, covering the majors on any kind of home protection. So, they came in at a reasonable deal, where I was satisfied with the agreement from what I could understand. And then, going on the reviews, I saw that they had worked claims before, and there were a few where people were not so happy. But by and large, I felt like everybody was satisfied where they needed to be.
Recently, I filed a claim because I noticed that the refrigerator was on the blitz. and they just came out and fixed it for the $75 agreement. I got it repaired within about three days because that part had to be ordered for the refrigerator. It was a good experience when I filed the claim. By and large, they got on it. They assured me that somebody would be out there and assigned to it, and I told them how the process worked. Everything was fine. They were pretty prompt and they called me in plenty of time for me to be ready for the person coming on the day that they said they were coming once got they got the part. The contractors were really good too. That guy was a young-ish guy. He came in. He was very nice and he got in here and he did it within 30 minutes. He explained what he was doing and he went ahead and just hooked everything up and it's fine after that. It's been good. I've had no issues with the refrigerator since that time.
I was really well pleased with the service that I got for the price. This is the first time I've ever owned. So, going into it, having the repairs and everything, but knowing that I had a pretty solid protection on my electrical, my plumbing, my appliances, those things that I really felt that I was covered on that. Especially, going forward, that also includes my heat and my air conditioning and making all the way up to 100 feet to the sewer line in the front of the house. And the electrical panel too. All those were really important to me being a homeowner, even though I had an inspection that came back clean. Who knows what awaits you. So, I was glad to have that and I do thoroughly intend on keeping it next year.

When I called Total Home Protection, their representative was awesome. He was not high-pressure. Sometimes, he gave me some options, some specials, and a lot of information. He wasn’t telling me, “Commit right now or else this is gonna go away.” I like that. I don’t like to be pressured to buy anything because I’m one of those people who can’t make up their mind immediately. I think it through and I wait. So, I contacted my husband and he said, “Nah, we have homeowners insurance. We’re fine." He said no. He had some questions, so I called back and reviewed the information with the representative. He answered all my questions. Again, he was very professional and he did tell that at a certain time, he was not gonna be answering the line.
We’re the type of family that once something goes out, we replace it. Some things are gonna last for a certain amount of time. But we’ve been lucky and we haven’t had anything major go wrong with anything we’ve owned. We were affected by Hurricane Isaac a while back. We’ve gotten new appliances and we’ve replaced things. Our home is not that old, so when our dryer had an issue, I thought it was just something minor. And it was. It was fixable. That was my first claim. We’ve been with them close to 2 years and I’ve got a second claim now.
We live in Laplace which is halfway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The contractor came from New Orleans. It was a little bit of a drive for him to come here. When I got the email, I contacted him. He didn’t reply immediately. He’s a busy guy, and it’s a small, local company so I gave him a little time. But I did hear from him by text that he would call me later. He was on a job. We did communicate and he was fantastic. He came by. Unfortunately, we had to go on vacation, so that kinda delayed our repair because we weren’t home. I did inform him that we were gonna be out-of-town because he ordered the part and said, “When the part comes in, call me, and I’ll come and install it.”
I had my child who doesn’t live here come by and check on the house and make sure everything was fine. When the part came, she said, “Mom, the part came. You can let your repairman know that it’s here so when you get back in town, you and him can make arrangements.” And that’s how it happened. He was awesome. He responded to my concern immediately. I’m very satisfied with the promptness and efficiency of the contractor that Total Home Protection sent. And I do highly recommend having this type of service because homeowners insurance doesn’t cover everything all the time. Total Home Protection is a good backup protection for our home.

I called Total Home Protection to submit a claim when I had a clogged drain. The claims representative asked me a couple of silly questions, but our interaction was all right. The contractor said he was gonna be here on a Monday, and so I hang around and he never showed up. He ended up showing the next day. When he came, everything was great with him. He augered the drain out and cleaned it out and he adjusted the stopper. It's been doing fine since then. My experience was good, and I'd tell a neighbor that Total Home Protection is a good company.

Sadly to report bought policy for 2019 with Total Home Protection, First, call 6/25th for Air conditioner not working. Have an 84 yr old husband with a bad heart. Never received an email for a company to come to the house. They told me very busy and to wait for an email or call someone on my own and pay out of pocket and they will reverse the monies. It was Friday 6/28th 9:00 pm when we got service, because of a compassionate co. who fixed our problem last year through the Old Republic. She squeezed us in (Air Care of Cent Fl.) at 407-4797197. THEY resolved the problem.
Today is Monday, July 1st and Total Home still has not sent me an email with the claim number in since 25th. Customer service could not give me any Supervisor or manager to speak to referencing my case. My husband almost ended up hospitalized, as a result. They couldn't find someone and NEVER called us back saying anything or getting us service!! They took my monies of $485.00 and sold me a sales talk and when needed no service. As a senior citizen, we were taken advantage of and when service needed didn't come through. Sincerely, Donna **/Winter Springs, Florida

Reached out to the customer service to have them have someone come out and see what has caused our AC to suddenly stop. The woman was rude and very unprofessional. Informed her we have an elderly person in the home and need someone ASAP. Her response, "We are not an emergency service. You have to wait 24-48 hours." No consideration for our elderly family member. I wish I could go into her home and turn off her AC in 90 degree weather. Horrible customer service.

But the work is not yet complete and the person that the company sent out didn’t finish the job. He had to get a part and told me he was gonna be back in touch with Total Home about something.

I had a garbage disposal problem. It was leaking as well as not working. Total Home sent one guy out and he didn't change it out. He claimed that he couldn't take it out or something. Then it started having a problem again and it still wouldn't work. But the second guy that came out went ahead and changed it. He worked, did a good job, and was very courteous. He also told me to give him a call if I had any issues and gave me a cellphone number. It was good when he took care of the issue and I appreciate that he did that. Other than that, when I first submitted the claim, it was a couple of days or so before somebody finally got to me. So, it had been a little bit slow getting a feedback from Total Home, but otherwise, I had a pretty good experience with the second guy that they sent out. I've also had no issues so far and I'd recommend Total Home.

I immediately called Total Home Protection with no call back for 3 days! Meanwhile I had a 2nd opinion from a well known electrician company, who found it was just a light switch issue. It cost me $120 out of pocket. This would've been covered by the Total Home protection.

I have four properties with Total Home Protection and whenever I have a claim, I just call them. They told me that I could call them any time and that they were available 24/7. So far, I've had three claims that had been done with. One of them involved the refrigerator and it had been fixed. So, that was good. In another property, we had a problem with the air conditioner. The tech came and took a picture, then he showed the company what happened and what needed to be done.
Then he said the motor needed to be replaced but Total Home denied the claim. They said they would not cover it because the unit was in improperly. I had to get a second opinion and when the tech came out, he charged $350. But Total Home denied it again and kept saying the unit was in improperly. Then they said they'd cover my claim for just 200 instead of 350. I was so shocked. They also said that the second opinion was covered but I'd have to wait for 30 days. So, most the time, Total Home would say that the work is not covered but I don’t have that list of what's covered and what's not covered.
The third claim I had was about the water leaking in the toilet. It was all over the floor from the kitchen to the bathroom. I called in on a Friday morning and they said I'd get a response within 24 to 48 hours from the contractor. So even though I filed a claim on a weekday or a weekend, I'd still have to wait that long. The tech they assigned to me was 5 Star Construction and Total Home sent me his name, number, and email. I texted and called him but he didn’t respond.
So, I emailed him in the morning and he emailed me back around 3 o’clock. He said he could come over at that time but my tenant was not available until 8 o’clock in evening. So, I sent them each other's phone numbers and they scheduled the repair. So, at least the tech responded on the same day, Monday. And he said he could come by the end of the day at 5 o’clock, so that was good. Recently, we had an issue with the washing machine and dryer in my property in Georgia, Lawrenceville but Total Home hasn't fixed it yet.
All in all, my experiences with Total Home have been pretty good. But a lot of things surprised me. For instance, they don't respond right away and I have to wait for a long time to get a response from the contractor. I also have to contact them again. If I don’t call and I don’t do anything, my service request doesn’t get a response.

I have been running around chasing them, calling them 4-5 times a day & finally they rejected the claim stating that reason as rust. The unit has never been opened & the leak has been developed in the EVAP coil due to regular wear & tear. Still the warranty company denied the claim that this is due to rust. How would someone introduce rust in a 7 year old system?
Their technician sent a feedback initially which caused the claim to be rejected. I challenged & had a 2nd inspection at my cost & even after hearing from the technician that the leak was caused due to normal regular wear & tear & not rust, still they denied the claim. Please do yourself a favor by saving your money as they don't end up covering anything. This is my 3rd attempt on the claim (Gas Water Heater/Microwave) & all got denied so far. 20+ days, & additional $100 out of my pocket for inspections, the issue is still open to be fixed by myself. Save your money & stay away from Total Home Protection!!!

I had an issue with my microwave that's on the wall above the stove and Total Home sent Sears to fix it. Sears said they couldn't fix it and that I would have to get a new microwave. But Total Home wanted to give me $120 for a microwave that’s built in. That’s not gonna pay for it and the installation. Plus, I paid my $60 service fee. So, the home warranty says either they fix it or replace it. But $120 does not replace my microwave. Aside from that, it’s gonna take 30 days for them to send me $120. So now, I’ve got to buy a new microwave and get it installed and pay whatever I have to pay.
Also, it took a month and three visits for Sears to come for this claim, so that means I missed work and they cost me. The first time that Sears came, they said they had to order pieces. And when the pieces came, it was another week or two before I could get an appointment. Then they figured that that was the wrong diagnostic, so they said they gotta get some other pieces. That took another two weeks. Then yesterday, they came, said that it was the motherboard, and that they couldn't do this and that. All in all, my experience was horrible and I don’t understand why I got a home warranty.

The consumer placed a claim for the built-in microwave on 5/14/2019 stating it was not heating properly. The vendor reported the failure was the control board shorted out and needed to be replaced along with the air lock switch, a shorted out door switch, and the interlock switch and latch. Based on the failures reported, it was determined that in order to provide a long term solution to future potential issues with the unit, we determined the best course of action was to provide the consumer with funds to put towards the purchase of a new unit.

I was looking for someone to handle my home projects or when something breaks down. I went online and started looking. I originally had American Home Shield and they were such a disappointment that I fired them. So I got to looking and called Total. I talked to one of their agents and what he had to say seemed pretty good., so I went ahead and signed up for it.
I had my garage door opener quit on me. I called them and they sent a technician to replace it. He told them the truth and the guy was very nice, very knowledgeable, and he was completely honest. However, it was alarming that while I was waiting for the Total Home Protect rep to decide what they were gonna do, there was so much hesitation on the other end of the line. It made me a little skeptical. I said, what am I signing up for here? They ended up replacing it but only because the installer said this thing was totally dead. Heaven forbid something else happens in a short span. But everything seems to be working fine.
However, I still don't know how everything works with them. I don’t have a policy from them. I don’t know what’s covered and what’s not covered, whether they just pay a percentage and then we pay the rest of an appliance or air conditioning. I couldn’t even remember who it was and then I had to go through bank records to find out who was taking the money every month. Then I finally found out then I called and verified. That was disappointing and I still don’t have the questions answered.
But the gentleman that came out fixed the garage door in a very timely manner and he’s also a plumber on the side. It wasn’t two weeks ago, I had him come out and fix a leak. I paid him directly, so it was a good thing he came out because that type of thing isn’t covered. He was more than fair, very good with what he did, and I would like to think that whoever Total Protect all send out in the future should there be an issue is as good as this guy was.

That’s why I called Total Home Protection and they were good. They weren’t tripping.
It’s usually 48 hours that I can expect a contractor out and the one who came out for the oven was a really nice old man. He did an excellent job. Even the gas company, when they came back out, said he did an amazing job. Before the repair, I couldn't cook and I cook three meals a day because I take care of my grandmother who’s 95 years of age.

I have two policies for two house. The last time I had a claim with Total Home Protection, I was there for the clothes dryer and only the switch was dead. That was supposed to be 30 seconds but it took two weeks to fix it. Recently, the AC did not on. I opened a ticket online yesterday, but I don’t think they're gonna do it. I kept calling them and they said they have not assigned it to any tech yet.
They take forever to assign a tech and then the tech take forever to make a schedule. For the dryer, when I called the techs, they said they were not available and on the day they were available, I couldn't come. Then, they showed up and they said they don’t have parts and that they have to wait for the parts orders. The switch is anywhere. They can go to Home Depot or any store, they sell it. I don't know why it took two weeks. I had a different warranty before and it's bad, but it's not this bad. I thought this one would be better. I pay for three years, for two policies. And now, I'm thinking about canceling it and getting back the money as much as I can. Because it's no use unless they make sure everything works better. The way they work right now, I don’t think they're gonna be good.
Thank you contacting us with the above referenced review. We at Total Home Protection treat each review with the utmost respect and use this feedback to better serve our valued customers. Understandably there are two sides to every story and always look for a fair resolution between all parties.
The consumer placed a claim for the clothes dryer on 2/3/2019 stating that the dryer was not coming on. A vendor was assigned on 2/4/2019, and the consumer as well as the vendor were sent email notifications of the assignment. The vendor reported the failure was with a bad door switch. On 2/11/2019 the diagnosis was submitted and authorization for the repair was given. The vendor advised the part needed to be ordered, which can take anywhere from 3-5 business days to arrive.
The consumer then placed a claim for the air conditioner on 6/3/2019 stating the unit was not turning on. The consumer called in 2.5 hours later to cancel the claim. The consumer placed another claim online for the air conditioner again, this time on 6/9/2019, stating the coil was frozen. A vendor was assigned on 6/12/2019. We have yet to receive a diagnosis for this claim. If the consumer still requires assistance with this claim, we encourage him to call in to our customer service department for further assistance.

I used Total Home Protection once and it was good. My garbage disposal was leaking under the sink. I called on a Sunday and it went to a voicemail. I kinda got the leak under control and put a pan underneath the sink so it wasn’t like an emergency. I called the next day, Monday, and I submitted the claim with someone. They said someone would email me within 48 hours, but the next day, a plumber called me. He was nice. He came a little earlier than expected ‘cause he had a cancellation so he called me and asked if I’d be home, and I was. He replaced it with the same thing that was there, a Badger 5 disposal, and he was here about half an hour. He cleaned everything up and took the old disposal out. I paid him the $45 and he gave me a card. He said if I had any problems, to feel free to call him back. He did a great job. The garbage disposal is not leaking anymore so I’m happy.
I’m glad I got Total Home Protection. My neighbor actually has it, too. Something happened to her air conditioning system and the guy came out. It turned out to be something really simple, but she was still happy anyway ‘cause paying $45 is better than paying $80 or $150. The only problem I had with the company, overall, was I had trouble setting up my payment date and they kept taking the payment out of my account on the wrong date. We fixed those, but it took a couple of months.

We had Service America and the last time I used them, they were good but they went out of business. I shopped online, made some comparisons and read some reviews. Total Home responded fast and it went well. The person that I was working with was able to answer my questions and matched others that would give me certain extra months. The word is incentive.
One night, the air conditioning was making noises outside and I had to turn it off and restart it. It stopped doing that but then one night, I came home and the air conditioner was never cooling enough to the temperature we set it at. In the end, the technician checked everything in the system and added more Freon. He also added a thermostat. They thought that would maybe help but I don’t think the thermostat is working properly. There’s a calibration in there and the thermostat is not regulating right. Also, the service technician had to use the phone to translate. He did not speak any English at all. My partner was here and he speaks a little Spanish, but the tech still had to call his boss all the time and translate. I had to get on the phone with his boss but he did a great job.

We currently have been without AC for almost two weeks! It took almost a week to even get anyone out to our house to look at our AC. The first person that came out said the unit needed to be replaced due to it being worn out (20 years old). THP was not satisfied by his report and sent another technician. This guy wanted to rip into my duct work at the cost of $500, which THP was not willing to pay for. So now we sit, without AC and still have not heard anything from THP! Don’t use this company. BTW, I have had them for about 1 1/2 years and have never had a claim. They will do ANYTHING to get out of paying. We have had 2 independent HVAC companies come and look at it, just to verify that the unit is just worn out! Both companies are very reputable in our area; both refuse to work with THP because they won’t treat people very good! That says a lot....

Total Home Protection needs to get it together. Both times that I submitted a claim with them, it took a little time to get a response as to who was gonna come. You call and tell them what you need. They say, "You will hear from somebody within 48 hours." Well, it may not be 48. It may be 52. I called back to see when was the person coming. The second time they came, we had agreed upon a time that they would come. The person called two hours before and said he was on the way. I said, "No. That's not what I told him. I told him it would be this time 'cause I'm not at home."
This last time was about my air conditioning. Now that I know, I will do it differently. I called and told them I was having problem. I told him the pipe outside was frozen and there was a piece of insulation that was off. They said they would get somebody back with me in 48 hours and nobody came. So I called back, and they said my policy does not cover insulation off. I got somebody else to come and look at my thing. What was wrong was it was frozen from the inside to the outside. If I had known, I would have just told the contractor, "I don't know what's wrong," and had somebody come out. It would have been covered under my warranty versus me having to pay extra money out of my pocket for another company to come in and look at my air condition.
But even at that, I also told them the pipe was frozen and that have been enough for them to come out. If the pipe is frozen, that's something that is covered and needs to be checked out. The only thing they keyed in was the insulation was off. So I was really disappointed with this company after I had to go and get another air condition company to come out. I had to pay three times what I would have to pay Total Home Protection to do the same thing. He had to put some Freon in the thing. But the technicians have all been very cordial. They've been very polite and very professional. They showed their credentials. They called and told me they were on their way and were here promptly. It's just the response time from the time you make the report to the time you get a response to hear at what time somebody's coming. That needs to be a little quicker.

The consumer placed a claim for the air conditioner on 4/29/2019 stating the unit was not cooling at full potential. During the initial claim call-in questionnaire, we asked the consumer when was the last time the unit was working properly, and the consumer stated “today” which would be 4/29/2019. The vendor reported the failure was the unit was low on charge and the condenser was leaking. As per the terms of service:
This Agreement does not cover any known or unknown pre-existing conditions.
Coverage applies to the systems and components mentioned as “covered” in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement so long as such systems and components are in place andin proper working order on the effective date of this Agreement.
Coverage went into effect on 4/4/2019. Due to the multiple failures with the unit, this shows the unit did not enter into the policy in working order on the effective start date of coverage.
We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our customers, contractors, employees, and our company; however, this claim does fall outside the scope of coverage.
In an effort to provide good customer service, we offered $400 as a gesture of good faith towards a non-covered claim, which was declined. unfortunately, the consumer then decided to cancel the policy.

I had a new kitchen and garbage disposal. The garbage disposal worked for a month, then it didn't. It was just humming. I called Total Home Protection to submit a claim and the lady over the phone had an attitude. My problem with Total Home Protection is that they're not open during the weekend and when I call the first time, I have to call a second time. I told the lady that if that was the kind of service they would be giving, I'd have to go and look for another company. She then asked if I was threatening her, but I told her that I was not and I was just telling her how I feel.
When the contractor came, he said that the garbage disposal was bad and it had to be changed. Then I didn’t hear anything from them for a whole two weeks, so I called them. They promised they would come in the following week but I would be out of the country, so I had to wait ‘til I'd come back in. When I came back in, I kept calling the guy because he gave some number for me. I also kept leaving messages for him and he never even called back. He just texted me and told me to call the company.
I was a little disappointed when the guy came to replace the disposal. He told me he was coming here between 9:00 and 12:00. So they had me tied for the whole morning, but he got here after 12:15 and didn't tell me about it. I had things to do in the morning and I could've gone ahead and do them first thing and just come back. He took all the old disposal and put up a brand new one from a box.

This home warranty company is the worst customer service and the worst at getting contractors to service what is in need of repair. I have had a contractor tell me that he did not like dealing with them and they refused to pay the contractor they sent to my house. It takes them up to 48 hours to get a contractor from them by email and then you are at the mercy of the contractor so you can be without heat or air up to four days for example. I have dealt with other home warranty companies and either they give you same day or next day service.

The consumer placed a claim for the septic system on 6/7/2017 stating the system was not operating correctly and the toilets were backing up. The vendor reported the failure was 10 ft. of piping was dug up and needed to be replaced. Per our policy, this failure is excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:
VI. OPTIONAL COVERAGE
F. Septic System
COVERED: Sewage ejector pump for septic system only; jet pump; aerobic pump. Clearing of stoppages within the connecting waste line (leading from the house to the primary septic tank) which are attributable to normal wear and tear and can be accessed through an existing clean out without excavation.

We will pay no more than $500 per contract term for access, diagnosis, repair and/or replacement.
The consumer then placed a claim on the new policy for a dishwasher on 4/24/2019. During the initial claim call-in questionnaire, we asked the consumer when was the last time the unit was working properly, and the consumer stated 4/20/2019. We assigned a vendor who reported the circulation pump failed, the drain hose was cracked and leaking. Coverage went into effect on 3/20/2019. It was determined these failures were non covered as these failures could not happen within the time frame of the active policy.
As per the terms of service:

My experience with Total Home Protection has been pretty bad. I moved to them from American Home Shield but their customer service sucks. Several CS reps caught an attitude and we had to go right to the supervisor. They are very unprofessional. Every time I get somebody outside of contract because Total Home Protection's office is closed and they take forever to dispatch, they end up paying a small percentage. I would lose around 400 bucks just paying out of pocket because they won't cover certain things that American Home Shield would. I'd rather go back to American Home Shield, pay a $100 deductible and get better customer service and products in a more timely manner because I have tenants in the houses that I have to call for.
When I call Total Home Protection to submit a claim, they tell me that they will call the company and then they always send us an email. I have to wait a couple of days, then when I finally get an email, I have to coordinate with the actual company. But then I would have to call Total Home Protection back because their contractor would not do things, because Total Home Protection would not approve it. The reps would then tell me that the warranty doesn't cover my claim. It's like a big scam. If I have to go out of pocket because I can't get approval, it shouldn’t be, “Oh, it’s not one of our people.” It shouldn't be an issue as long as it's a certified person. I've had to pay 500 bucks out of pocket for a repair because they wouldn't cover a part, and that was unsatisfactory and not pleasant to hear. I will be calling to cancel my plans with Total Home Protection. They're not the best.

Having Total Home Protection has been the worst experience ever. My first impression of utilizing them was a bit wonky. I had issues with my refrigerator that wasn't cooling. I called after-hours and this guy answered. However, his computer wasn't working and the connection was bad, so I couldn't really understand him. So, I hung up and tried somebody else. For after-hours service, they have people working in their homes with bad connections and bad technology. They are really not supportive in answering questions. It would be easier if Total Home would coach their reps to say something like "“Hi, this is after-hours support. While I can’t answer all your questions, I can record your concerns and have someone get back to you during business hours.” Instead, it was a waste of time and very frustrating from the very beginning.
I called back during business hours and was able to figure out how to submit a claim. The instructions I received would be that I would get an option of which contractor I would be assigned to and what mechanic would help to support me. Instead, I didn't get options. I got this random call from a guy who barely spoke English. He said "Is this Courtney? We need to schedule a time to fix your refrigerator." I asked if he was calling from Total Home Protection as I needed to validate to make sure that it wasn't a spam call.
The tech came out and he was okay. He did some sort of assessment and said that he just vacuumed underneath our refrigerator. He said there was a lot of lint and that was probably why the refrigerator wasn't cooling. He then told me to give him a call in 24 hours if there was still an issue with the refrigerator. However, what he did didn't resolve the issue so he had to come back out. He did some finagling, moved the refrigerator again and told me that he needed to order a part. Since then, I've called him many times to try and get in touch with him but I couldn't get ahold of him. It took several days and I didn't hear back from him until four days later.
In the meantime, I didn't have a refrigerator and my food spoiled. He finally called me to say that he had a baby in the hospital and asked what time he could come out that day. We were able to figure that appointment out. He came and added a thermostat but that didn't resolve the issue either. By that time, I was frustrated. I called Total Home again and expressed to them my concern. Still, they said that the only option was the gentleman whom I had talked to. Additionally, the customer service representative whom I spoke to was rude. He said that there are only two things that he can do for me. He could send out another technician or I could pay for the repair myself and I could send a claim for reimbursement. I chose to have them send another technician.
They assigned me to another tech who was completely competent. He was helpful and immediately assessed what was wrong. He told me that we needed to order a part and that he couldn't do that. Total Home Protection would have to order it and he asked me to let him know when I received it. For a month and a half, I didn't have a refrigerator. I finally talked to a supervisor and told him that my food spoiled and that because of the service I was getting, I wasn't able to utilize core equipment in my home. I had to let go about $300 of food and we had to eat out every single day. That supervisor didn't give me a recommendation or say how my insurance could help with food spoiler. He didn't apologize either and there was no resolution.
Total Home Protection was terrible overall in terms of customer service. Anytime I called their 800 number or asked for support, the customer service was a huge letdown. I asked to talk to a supervisor 'cause I was frustrated but then it was playing back and forth. Usually, the supervisor wasn't available so they had to give me a callback. They would call me back during work hours when I wasn't available so we always missed each other. So, I’m totally done. I need to look at the policy to make sure that it doesn’t renew because I’ll be looking for services elsewhere. I don’t want Total Home Protection. I do not recommend this company to anyone who really wants excellent customer service or to rest assured that their equipment is insured and their money well-invested.

Total Home Protection is still working on a plumbing issue. I wasn’t gonna renew back with them again, but they told me that they got some better service now. So, I gave it another try. They have been real good, but some of the contractors they had have not been great. They need to have their service people, at least, to stay in touch. Like for example, a contractor came out for a service, and he said, “Okay, it's fixed.” It was late when he finished servicing, so I didn’t get to try it that night. I tried it the next day and I called him back and told him, “This plumbing is still not working. The water is still backing up in my sink when I use the washer.” He said, “Oh, okay. I know what it is.” He said, “I'll be out there Wednesday or Thursday.” He didn’t show up Wednesday, Thursday and he didn’t call me.
So, I said, “What's going on?” I called him back and he said he would be there Thursday for sure. I said, “Now, look. You keep telling me you're coming and you're coming and you don’t come.” I said, “I'm just going to call them and tell them to send me somebody else.” He said, “No, no, no, no, no.

So, I called him back and I told him, “The problem is still here.” He said, “Oh, okay then.” And that’s it and I never heard nothing else. So, I called Total Home and I told them what had happened.

I purchased a home warranty insurance from Total Home Protection back in June 2017.

On April 19, 2019, I made my first service call for the porch electric outlets not working. The customer service assured me that the claim had been submitted and just look for the email from Total Home Protection within 24-48 hours. After 72 hours I received a email from Total Home Protection representative stating that I need to contact them for updated information about my claim. After talking to couple of representatives to find out about my claim, the supervisor finally got on the phone and told me that the outlets on the porch is covered under because it’s outside the house. I let it go because I didn’t read the fine prints of the contract, I this was covered because it's part of the structure.
On May 13, 2019, I called in for claim to have my upstairs air conditioning unit not working. This time they responded right away with claim number and a repair company. The air conditioning repairman found that wheels on the a/c unit was broken and needed to be replaced. He told me that this was a typical issues with air conditioning unit due to wear and tear over time. He submitted a service request to Total Home Protection on 14 May, 2019.
The next day, a received a call from Total Home Protection representative stating that they are denying the claim because they think that the wheels were damaged caused by a debris hitting it. This is a ridiculous and absurd reason to deny the claim because the air conditioning unit is located in the attic free from any debris that can damage the wheels. And also the repairman expert testimonial that these are normal wear and tear damage over time. Total Home Protection warranty insurance is a fraudulent/scam.

This Agreement covers single-family homes, new construction homes, condominiums, townhomes, and mobile homes under 5,000 square feet, unless an alternative dwelling type (i.e. above 5,000 square feet or multi-unit home) is applied, and appropriate fees are paid. This Agreement will not cover systems or appliances within (a) commercial properties; (b) residential properties used for business purposes, including, but not limited to, dwellings used for rest homes, day care centers, schools and/or professional offices; (c) common areas of condominiums, multi-family houses and/or cooperatives; (d) vacant properties, and; (e) foreclosed/short sold properties. Coverage applies to the systems and components mentioned as “covered” in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement so long as such systems and components:
A. Become inoperable due to normal wear and tear; and
B. Are in place and in proper working order on the effective date of this Agreement; and
C. Are located inside the confines of the main foundation of the home or attached or detached garage, with the exception of the air conditioner, exterior pool/spa, septic system, and well pump.
The consumer placed a claim for the upstairs air conditioner unit was not cooling properly on 5/13/2019. We assigned a vendor who reported the blower motor and the blower wheel failed. He also provided a picture which shows the metal fins on the blower wheel are physically damaged and bent. This type of physical damage did not occur from normal wear and tear and therefore not covered under the warranty. The damaged blower wheel caused the motor to run off balance resulting in a secondary failure which is not covered under the warranty.

This is a scam organization. I had a leak in brand new pipes and was told that it wasn't covered because of corrosion.

After going through all the protections online, I talked to the people, and Total Home Protection got the best rate. However, it’s like I‘ve got a protection plan but I’m just throwing money away in the trash. I've only had to file a claim for my plumbing and someone came out. He looked at it on a Saturday and took photographs. And then he said he would be back on Tuesday to fix it. But he didn’t show up on Tuesday. So, I called up Total Home Protection and they said they have not got the diagnostics from the contractor yet as to what the problem was. I tried to call him but I got a voicemail. Total Home Protection also tried to call him and they got voicemails, too. After a few days, I called them back and asked what was going on. They told me they finally got the diagnostics and the claim was approved. They said they were going to try and set up an appointment but no one showed up.
They called back to tell me not to worry and that they were gonna send someone else. So, we made an appointment for that other person to come in but he also didn’t show up. I called Total Home Protection again, and then they called him, and then they told me to call him and set it up, which I did. He showed up in the evening and took a picture. He said he would turn his report in first thing in the morning when Total Home Protection open at 9:00. At about 9:20, he called me up and said Total Home Protection was not approving it. I had to shell out some money from my own pocket to get it done and I took time off work. That is not right.

I went online and there was a website that listed Total Home Protection as one of the top 10. I signed up in June last year and started July 1st. It was fine until I had something break. I have a wall oven and it failed when I was preparing supper for Easter. It wouldn’t open right away. I called Total Home on a weekend. It was like your answering service that stay on the weekend. So, they put a claim in and then, in the middle of the next week, I got a call for someone to fix my refrigerator. And I said, “But I don’t have a broken refrigerator. I have a broken oven.” They said they need a work order for that and they couldn't help.
So then I had to get back on the phone and do that and I got someone and put a second claim in. And then, I had someone come out. It took a little while for someone to come out and then evaluated it and said they’d have to get the part. So, they came back again in about a week, and it happened to be a Friday, and the person came out and he said the oven was too heavy for him. It’s in a wall and he said he need someone else to help him.
He came back on a Saturday and he had some kind of a dolly where he could pull it out and work on it. And he had three parts with him. He ordered three and he put in two. And then, he asked me to bake something that wasn’t too expensive and measure how it’s working. So, I did that on the weekend and the oven still didn’t perform like it’s supposed to. And then he called me on Monday and I told him that. He said, “I need to order another part.” It was some kind of a control board. He had already ordered a temperature sensor, a thermostat, and a bake element. But he only put two of those in.
I didn’t hear from anybody, so I called the repair place wondering what was going on. And they said, “Oh, we wanna come and take the parts back from your oven that we put in because Total Home is going to buy you up.” So, that was a surprise to me to hear that from them. So then I said to them, “You know, if you wanna come and get those parts, they can make an arrangement for that.” But I said, “I need my own parts back,” ‘cause I really wanna get the oven fixed. This is what I wanted.
So then I got a call a couple of days later that was left in my voicemail from Total Home Protection, and then I called back and then somebody may have it written down somewhere else. But the person told me that they’d give me $200 for my oven. And I said, “Wait a minute. I paid $60." I knew that because I asked the company, they put in $182 worth of parts and then the other parts they wanted to order, I believe was $230. And Total Home Protection denied that.
So then, I wrote a letter to mediation and told them that what they’re offering me after I paid my $60 is less than 8% of the cost of getting another replacement of what I have. I know over the years that things depreciate but if I have to buy a new oven, $200 isn’t gonna quite do it. So, I was thinking why would I have bought this Total Home Protection warranty when warranties really don’t give you anything. If I had the money I’ve paid-- and I did buy like a 60-fee warranty, if I had that money, at least I could buy my oven because they didn’t quite explain this.
I was dealing with a lady and she sent me a form. We talked and then she said, “Well, we’ll fix you oven.” But then she sent us the release agreement which I was appalled by. Before I could even go to mediation, I looked in my home warranty and the address they had in my warranty was mediation@-- it was another company, not Total Home Protection. I would have to look right now but it’s something different. And I got this verified, too.
I called back and said, “I sent an email. I didn’t get anything. That must be a wrong email in my contract.” And they said, “Oh, no, that can’t be.” And they were like, “You must have a really old contract.” I said, “No, it was from last year.” And so, the fellow looked. He said, “Oh, yeah, that’s a mistake in there.” So, he gave me a different address which I wrote to and then I got a response from the lady. And then, when I looked at the release agreement, it was giving up every one of my rights. And then that had a mistake in it too, because it had to do with a dishwasher. So, they’re gonna put whatever parts they listed in my dishwasher.
So, I crossed that up a little bit because I felt like I wouldn’t see all these until somebody, if I sold my house and was passing on the contract, that if this oven breaks, they can't claim it and they can’t tell anyone-- which I couldn’t even tell them that I did this, and then because it was written one-sided. It didn’t seem very fair. We talked to the lady yesterday and said, “You know, we can’t just sign that. We can’t change it.” And then, she said, “Well, we’ll give you $419, and then your oven isn’t covered. So, you should take your $419,” and so that if I bought a new oven just like I have, the GE Profile, which is on sale this week at the Home Dept worth 2,398 plus $200 installation. So, the money she’s offering would be pay the Texas state tax and my installation, and maybe a few pennies over towards the new oven.
I thought about this overnight and thought I'm just gonna send back the release agreement. I printed another one off and I just signed it and then I didn’t cross anything off, other than I just put that it’s for a wall oven and crossed out the dishwasher. I signed it and sent it to the lady this morning, then I haven’t heard since. It’s so frustrating. And my husband tried talking to her and he raised his voice because she kept interrupting him. It just isn’t worth all this BS.
Hopefully, they will send a repair company out that’ll put those other two parts in and then I’ll have a working oven. If she does get back to me and this repair is done, then I don’t even know if I can talk to them about to be sure that they’re putting all those parts and that they said they’re not taking my old ones back. It’s such a dilemma. I wish I wouldn’t have even bought a home warranty. If a part broke, I would’ve called somebody and I’m sure they would’ve come over and taken care of it. Maybe it would take two calls because sometimes they need to order parts. But I would’ve thought they would’ve been able to identify the part, if they had enough experience. I wasted my money buy buying their policy. I’ve been without my oven for a month and I don’t have any idea if I'm going to get any resolution.

I thought I had found a good home warranty company. I WAS WRONG. I called and filed a claim on my AC. The 1st company they assigned the claim to never showed up. The second company they assigned the claim to showed up - got paid his $60 copay and said that there were parts that needed to be replaced. They denied the claim because they said that there was nothing wrong with the AC unit.
I finally got them to send out a company that knew what they were doing. I had to pay $297 for the diagnosis because Total Home Protection will not pay for your system to be diagnosed. Once we found out that the coils needed to be replaced. They denied the claim again. This company will find any reason not to pay for your repairs. THEY ARE LIKE A BAD SLOT MACHINE.

I had problems with the plumbing where the lines got clogged. I called Total Home Protection and the repair guy called me. He set up an appointment and came out. But it wasn't the most professional situation I've seen. He said he found the lines and that there were two of them. He went under the house and unclogged them. They lasted 34 days and then they were clogged again.
I called the guy again but his voicemail was full and he was not taking any call. He also lived too far away to service Spartanburg. It was even a different area code and I couldn't get ahold of him to come back out so I had to put in a new ticket. The claim was over 30 days and Total Home Protection wouldn't honor it. That's a little crummy because the other place I had before had 60 days. I've also seen other ones with 90 days. I didn't check that little detail before I paid Total Home Protection for a year's worth service so I'm not happy. But, contracts are contracts. So now, I've been waiting 30 hours without plumbing to have somebody come out here and do it right.
Also, when I called Total Home, it was at the contractors' convenience, not mine. The reps will find somebody, contact them and tell them my story, then the contractor will contact me. When they get here, I have to pay them another $60, which is tough. Although the sales end is good, the service end was not so good. There was too much delay and the 30 days is way too short. With the previous people I had, I didn't have to wait so long because I didn't pay the service people the $60. I paid it to the warranty company. But now, I have to not only wait for the tech to come, I also have to pay him when he gets here.

THE WORST WARRANTY COMPANY EVER. First of all they have denied every claim I have submitted. I have a current claim on my HVAC and was told to get a leak test as they would not pay for it. I have a leak test done, submitted the pictures and the report from the contractor on 4/26. I spoke to THP on 4/29 and was told they downloaded the email on 4/29 and I would get an answer on the claim in 24/48 hours. It is now 4/2, 72 hours later and I still don't have an answer. They refuse to escalate anything, telling me no one can give me a better answer. THIS COMPANY WILL JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOT DO ANYTHING!!!

I put in a claim for my air conditioner. It was freezing up. Total Home Warranty send out a technician T&M Super Air Conditioning and Heating at 501 4th Avenue Southeast Ruskin Florida. The technician walked in the door, looked at the unit Within seconds and told me that there was a leak and Total Home Warranty didn't cover the leaks. I asked him, "How could you tell that by just looking at the unit," and he said, "Wait a minute. Let me go get my tools." He went and got his tools but he never open the unit on inside or the outside but said would have to do a leak screening. But he had to get authorization from Total Home Warranty to do that. He then walk to his car, came back with the phone to his ear and told me he had them on the phone and he was giving them his diagnosis and he had to wait for authorization.
I called them the next morning and explain to them that he had called them the day before and insisted they had never talked with him because there was no record of him calling in. They hadn't spoken with him since they sent the claim out to him. They had me wait on hold. They tried to call him. She said three times but they got no response. I hung up from Total Home Warranty and called T&M Air Conditioning company. He swore they had not tried to call him at all when I told them that they had just tried to reach them. When I told him what they said he swore he'd call them and talk with them and they were playing games with him and he was going to drop their contract because they always give him that kind of trouble.
I explained to Total Home Warranty when I talked to them that he had not opened the unit on the inside or the outside and just made the diagnosis within seconds of the walking in the door and I wanted them to send someone to really open the unit and check it. They said they would not send anyone else to check it and I would have to do that at my own expense and then if there was a problem then then they would repair the problem if it was covered in the contract. When I read to her what he had written on the receipt she said it contradicted what he has sent in to them yet they still didn't want to send another person out to check the unit. I feel like it's a scam and somebody is lying somewhere and something needs to be done about companies that get away with this kind of stuff. The guy from T&M Air Conditioning wasn't here a good eight minutes before he asked me for my $60 and headed out the door.

I called Total Home regarding a claim for my oven. Their quality of service was fine, but we had an issue once the guy came out to fix the oven. It took him a couple of days to come out. He diagnosed that the igniter was bad on the oven and that it needed to be replaced. He went ahead and he called around, found a place that had the igniter literally less than a mile from my house. And when he called to get the authorization from Total Home, they said no. They said they didn’t wanna pay an additional $10. It came down to where they were gonna get the igniter cheaper online. Total Home wanted me to wait for 15 to 21 days so that they could get the part, have the part delivered to me, and then have the guy that was already at my house come back again and install it.
I went ahead and called Total Home while the tech was still here. I told them that I would pay the additional $10 as I needed the oven fixed. I told them that I have a family of four that I needed to feed. Easter was coming up and I needed to feed my family with Easter dinner. But the people at Total Home said that once the authorization department makes up its mind, there’s nothing they can do. Also, their systems were down, so they couldn’t help me.
It also sounded like the gal that I talked to wasn’t interested in helping me either. So, I said, “This is ridiculous. The igniter is literally a mile from my house. He can go pick it up and install it today.” And she said there was nothing she could do to help me. Once that happened, I was annoyed because they were quick to take our money. I needed help, and they hung me out to dry. But when I walked inside the house, the tech said, “I don’t know what you told the lady on the phone, but you’ve been approved for everything.” So, he left to go get the part, came back, fixed the oven, and then I got an igniter in the mail a week and a half later.
A guy from Total Home called me yesterday, and he was rude. He asked me where was the part and told me when a tech would be coming out to fix the oven. I told him that the oven was already fixed, but he said that that wasn't true. I told him that I was standing in my kitchen and the oven is fixed. He said that they needed the part back and I told him that I didn’t have it. He asked me what did I with the part. I told him that the appliance company said that Total Home hasn’t paid them yet and that they should cut them a check for what they did. The contractor did quality service. But he said that it was not my business. I told him that it was my business because now if I have the contractor come out for other things, I’m gonna get charged because they never got paid by Total Home for other things. He was mad.
I told him, “When you go ahead and cut them a check, I’m gonna have them call me and let me know that the check has been sent and been cleared then I’ll authorize them to send your part back.” Last I heard, the people at Total Home told the gal at the appliance company that they weren’t gonna pay them until they got the part back. She told them that they would be holding on to the part until Total Home gives her the check, which is very bad business. Had I known Total Home was gonna be like this, I would’ve never signed up for the three-year protection. I would’ve done one-year, and then at the end of the year, I would have said goodbye.
I was highly disappointed in the way Total Home handled things. If they call a customer and yell at them, that’s unprofessional. But then to not pay the people that actually came out and did the work over $10, that's just ridiculous. The appliance company doesn’t wanna work with Total Home anymore because they have to fight them tooth and nail to get paid and that’s not right.

Unfortunately, I switched companies from American Home Shield to Total Protection - TOTAL HOME PROTECTION IS THE WORST home warranty. I had not had any serious claims with American Home Shield and when I switched - my appliances decided to die. I am disabled and elderly and my refrigerator went out in January, it cannot be repaired - I am still waiting for this claim to be finalized. It's May - people! Supposedly, it is the technician's problem, but Total Home advertises about how great their Technicians are - not true. The refrigerator is still sitting in my kitchen growing mold. I have explained that I have health issues and don't want this refrigerator in my house - but they don't care.
My double oven is old but started having thermostat issues - they said they would only gave me $137.00 towards a new one. I have yet to receive it. My dishwasher went out next - bam!! And I was offered $150.00 for it. Who knows when I receive the money. Now my washing machine has stopped spinning - I just want it repaired. Yes, if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.
If it cannot be repaired, they are telling me that they only pay what it would cost to repair - I would like to cancel - but they tell me even though I filed the claim during my contract period, if I cancel, I would receive nothing. The salesman talked a good talk. They tell you they will send you an email within 48 hrs - yea - 48 hours - which I have only received once. Their customer service sucks. I bought the warranty policy because some of my appliances are old - but wow - Total Home is no help. In my opinion, I could recommend this company.

The consumer placed a claim for the refrigerator on 2/10/2019 stating it was not working properly. The vendor reported the failure was the inside valves had failed. This claim was a covered repair. If the repair still hasn’t been completed as of yet, we ask that the consumer call our customer service department so we can have the matter resolved.
The consumer also placed a claim for the oven stating it was overheating. The vendor reported the failure was the hinges and the thermostat needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, the hinges are no longer available as their production has been discontinued by the manufacturer. When this occurs, we send the consumer funds in the amount of the cost between parts and labor to put towards the repair/replacement of the covered policy item. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:
VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
U. We have the sole right to determine whether a covered system or appliance will be repaired or replaced. We are responsible for installing replacement equipment of similar features, capacity, and efficiency, but not for matching dimensions, brand or color. We are not responsible for upgrades, components, parts, or equipment required due to the incompatibility of the existing equipment with the replacement system or appliance or component or part thereof or with new type of chemical or material utilized to run the replacement equipment including, but not limited to, differences in technology, refrigerant requirements, or efficiency as mandated by federal, state, or local governments. If parts are no longer available, we will offer a cash payment in the amount of the average cost between parts and labor of the covered repair. We reserve the right to locate parts at any time.

However, we will provide reimbursement for the costs of those parts determined by reasonable allowance for the fair value of like parts. We reserve the right to rebuild a part or component, or replace with a rebuilt part or component.
The consumer then placed a claim for the dishwasher on 4/9/2019stating the unit was not coming on. The vendor reported the failure was the control panel failed. Based on the age of the unit, we came to the determination that in order to provide a long term solution to future potential issues with the dishwasher, the best course of action is to provide the consumer with funds towards the purchase of a new unit.

Total Home sent me a claim re imbursment form. We paid to have the work done and filled out the form and sent it in. Before I did I called them and asked for the Authorization # on the form and was told that they filled that in.
Today I got a call from them saying that they were not going to pay the claim because the electrition did not call for authorization to do the work.

Filing a claim with Total Home for a backed up drain in the basement was not very easy. When I called Saturday evening, the gal kept telling me that she wasn’t answering the service. I told her that I have my account number but she told me that she couldn’t find my address in the system. She told me that I would have to call back during regular business hours on Monday. I was not very happy about that. Once I made the call, they got somebody out in about two days and I was very happy with who the sent.
All in all, I’ve called Total Home about four times and I like all the contractors. But it never seems anything urgent with them. They always tell me that they would take my information and somebody local would call me back within 48. But when you’ve got sewage and poop in your basement, you want that to be fixed in a timely manner. I even called back a couple of times hoping I would get somebody different. I asked to talk to her supervisor and she would tell me that she was the only one and they were just an answering service. It was the same person I kept getting the two or three times I called.
When my cousin was buying a house, I recommended that they get this warranty. I told them that I’d been satisfied with the company, the price was right and the reviews were pretty decent. So, they got Total Home but their experiences were horrible. They had only been with the company for about four months and they tried to get their money back but they were only given $30. They were horribly dissatisfied with the company because the contractors that were sent to them couldn’t do whatever the electrical work they were wanting.
When placing a claim, we advise the consumer to allow 24-48 business hours for us to secure a vendor as we are not an emergency service. In the event of an emergency, there are other processes in place to help the consumer resolve the current issue at hand.
The consumer placed a claim for a clothes washer on 9/16/2018. A vendor was assigned to this claim on 9/17/2018. The consumer also placed a claim for a plumbing stoppage on 10/14/2018 which was a Saturday. A vendor was assigned to the claim on 10/16/2018. The consumer then placed a claim for another plumbing stoppage on 3/11/2018. A vendor was assigned on 3/12/2018.
In the event of an emergency, we have a Reimbursement option consumers are able to utilize. This is where the consumer can secure a vendor of their own and have the vendor submit the diagnosis to our Authorizations department before completing the repair. Once approved, the consumer submits a Claim Reimbursement Form along with the paid invoice for reimbursement of the covered out of pocket expense.
All claims have been properly serviced in accordance with the Service Agreement - all contracts have inclusions as well as exclusions. We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our customers, contractors, employees, and our company.

Total Home Protect had a better price and they cover the same things that my last home warranty did so I decided to try them. When my renter told me that the garbage disposal stopped working, I put a claim for it with Total Home Protect and the repair company they sent was very courteous and quick. They came in and determined right away that the unit wasn't working. They were hoping that they could fix it, but it wasn't happening. The unit needed to be replaced. It was replaced very quickly and I was very pleased. It was nice to know that things get done without hesitation and you don’t have to fight for it.

I called Total Home to file a claim for the air conditioner and it took three to five days for someone to be scheduled to come out. I had a horrible experience with Total Home wherein I paid two technicians, one month for $120. The first technician came twice and the experience with him the first time was really bad. My scheduling is okay. But their scheduling can be improved. He was supposed to come some time, then he called, and then he called again. It’s like, “Okay. Now, I’m not heading there. I’ll come back.” On the second time, he came to replace parts but then he didn’t have the right ones.
After one month, the Total Home rep told me the air conditioner is under the warranty, but they would not cover and service it. The first question the reps at Total Home should ask, "Is this under warranty?” They wasted one month of my time, money, and frustration. They didn’t fix anything and I have to spend money out of my pocket now. Total Home seems to be a mistake. What’s the point for me to have their service if they don't get me service? I might as well disconnect it.
The manufacturer will not send me the parts. I would have to use a third party licensed contractor to request the parts. I told them about Total Home Protection too. If Total Home would not service the air conditioner, I have to call a third party company again and pay $89 to come and check. And then again, it’s gonna cost me another $400. I already paid 60 bucks for the technician. But Total Home won’t make the phone call and have the parts be replaced because it's not part of their policy.

I've always had a home warranty with another company, but their prices were ridiculous. When I compared Total Home Protection to them, Total Home seemed to offer the same service for less money and so we switched. With our first claim, the problem started three weeks ago. We've been busy and we've been in and out of the house. When we dry some clothes, we put them in the dryer and leave. We did that and came back a couple of days later and the clothes weren’t dry. I thought that I have forgotten to turn the dryer on so I turned it on, but it wasn’t working.
I called Total Home Protection for service and the experience on the telephone was fine. The rep took the information and my interaction with him was okay. He worked on the claim for quite a while and spent over an hour working on it. I called in on a Friday and was told that they don’t do weekend emergency service. I told them that was fine and I was thinking that by that Tuesday, the repairman will be here.
When the repairman came, he said that it could have been the motor, and if it was, then it would not be repairable. He also said that it could have cost about 300 and some bucks for a motor. He replaced the part on it and the dryer started heating, but it only lasted one cycle, then it stopped again. I've had a brand-new dryer before at another home and when it wasn’t drying, we cleaned the vent out and it worked fine. Then it never gave us another problem for 12 years. So, I said that maybe the vent on the dryer was stopped up and it could be one of the reasons why it doesn't work. We got a company, paid 85 bucks and had the dryer vent cleaned, but that wasn’t the case so I just wasted the money on that. The guy said it was not even clogged.
I contacted Total Home two days ago and told them that somebody needs to come back, but I received no phone call from anybody and no technician here. That was not acceptable. The service guy was skeptical about getting paid. I think he didn’t believe the machine was fixable after he worked on it. His concern about fixing the machine started with his trip working on it, and that it could be toast. But he was professional about what he was doing. He vacuumed the whole thing out and cleaned the dryer out. But right now, I've gotten all the dirty clothes because I got three weeks worth of dirty clothes back at my truck. At this oint, my experience is unsatisfactory. I've been paying the monthly fees for almost a year and it was my first time using Total Home warranty, but I'm gonna go spend money to wash clothes.

In April 2019, I went to turn on my air conditioner and it was not working. I called and they sent a service guy out who said it blew and needed replacement. Good thing I got a warranty, right?

I called Total Home Protection on a Friday because our sink was stuffed up. But no one called back until I called them back on Monday. We got everything straightened when they called back. They said they would send somebody, but the first person that was available was not available for 24 hours. In addition to that, they had to send somebody out from Miami to Boca Raton as they had nobody locally. It took three days to get a contractor out, and while my interaction with the guy was okay, he had to call Total Home Protection to get approval to do it, and that seemed to me like a ridiculous thing to do. I had a contract and they sent him out. For him to have to wait for Total to call him back and give him approval seemed like a useless exercise.

When I purchased my home, the home warranty was expiring. Total Home Protection reached out to me and I have their policy now. In a recent claim, I called them for the sensor on the garage door. The reps gave me the information that was very informative. They explained thoroughly that if it was a sensor, it is not covered. But if the part has failed, then it is covered. I was very well-informed so it was great. Then Total Home Protection sent a top-notch contractor. They responded quickly and didn't have to run after parts. They had them all on their truck. The serviceman who fixed everything went above and beyond. He even serviced my garage door, did a greasing of the springs, and checked all the bolts. It was very excellent.
Normally, I hit the button when I’m leaving and then I hit the button when I’ve already backed out in the garage and think that the garage door is going down and that I would not worry about it. I had to start waiting to make sure if the door went halfway down, if it is gonna go all the way, or is it gonna go back up. I lost the confidence that it would close. Each time I go home and open the garage, it wouldn't work. And when I get ready to leave, it wouldn't close. I was very frustrated. But they fixed it and my frustration level is zero now. I have had good experience with Total Home Protection so far. I got the three-year policy and I hope they continue their services as expected.

The consumer placed a claim for the air conditioning system on 4/22/2019. During the initial claim call-in questionnaire, we asked the consumer when was the last time the unit was working properly, and the consumer stated 6 months ago. This would mean the system was last working properly in October. As per the terms of service:
VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
A.The following are not included during the contract term; (i) malfunction or improper operation due to rust or corrosion of all systems and appliances, (ii) collapsed ductwork, (iii) known or unknown pre-existing conditions, deficiencies and/or defects.
Coverage applies to the systems and components mentioned as “covered” in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement so long as such systems and components are in place and in proper working order on the effective date of this agreement.
Coverage went into effect on 2/8/2019. Being that the unit was not working properly in October 2018, this is evidence of a “’pre-existing condition” and not in proper working order on the effective coverage date of 2/8/2019.
In an effort to provide good customer service, we offered to send a vendor to diagnose the issue and waive the service charge fee which was declined. We then offered monetary assistance towards finding a vendor on her own to which was accepted. We will also be adding an additional free service charge fee to the consumer’s policy which will be applied to a future claim.
We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our consumers, contractors, employees, and our company; however, this claim does fall outside the scope of coverage.

Different home warranty companies got in touch with me after I filled out an online form.

One particular guy named Donald, as well as another guy above him, handled my account and they did a really good job getting things rolling. They've been patient with me. There were more units that I want covered and they gave me some time to come up with the money to cover even more. I appreciated them being willing to work with me.
I have already submitted a couple of claims with them and I like the way their warranty is set up. We have a one-month waiting period and then we can make claims and that is fair to everybody. In fact, everything has been a priority for everybody so far. There was one contractor that Total Home Protection thought was connected with them, and it turned out that he wasn’t. I was scared to death that they wouldn’t pay the claim but they told me that that wasn't a problem and that I just had to find somebody to do the job, and they would reimburse me.

I've been with Total Home Protection since October of last year and my experience with Total Home Protection has not been good. I submitted a claim three months ago and they said they were gonna fix it in 48 hours. They assigned me to a contractor, but he never showed up. I had to get somebody to fix the problem. I called them two months ago and they said I was gonna get a check in a month, but I haven't received anything yet. I’m thinking of canceling the whole insurance.

The consumer placed a claim for a plumbing stoppage on 1/25/2019 stating the sink was not draining. We assigned a vendor to the claim on 1/25/2019 and sent the information in the form of an email to the consumer. The consumer then called in on 1/28/2019 stating he could not wait for the appointment he scheduled with our vendor and decided to get a vendor on his own.
On 1/28/2019 we spoke with the consumer’s vendor and advised the claim was covered, and informed to send in a copy of the paid invoice along with the Claim Reimbursement Form. On 2/7/2019, we received the requested documents and started the check process. Per the reimbursement form, it is advised to allow 30 business days to process and receive the reimbursement check.

Total Home Protection called us out to a customer's home and approved the job, when it came time for billing they refused the discussed dollar amount and when we stated that we would no longer work for them because of that issue they locked down our account and refused to accept any invoices from us for services rendered. We waived the bill to prevent the homeowner any worry, but I would not recommend their services. We could have taken action but that would negatively affect the customer and they don't deserve that.

I DO NOT recommend this company to have as your provider in a home warranty protection policy. Things I discovered I wish I knew before I signed-up with this company as a home warranty protection is their policy with concerning reimbursement if you cancel. You should read it, they charge you 50.00 and they DO NOT reimburse you for your payments after 30 days, even if you never filed a claim with them. Check your location, you may not be in a service contractor area. Which means you have to find someone who will service your problem, pay them out of pocket and file a claim that may or may not be approved for reimbursement.

The consumer placed a claim for a tankless water heater on 2/19/2019. Unable to get a vendor with availability we offered the consumer to go through reimbursement. Reimbursement is where the consumer contacts a local vendor to diagnose the unit and once approved, we would send a reimbursement check upon receipt of the invoice. During the initial call-in questionnaire, we asked the consumer when was the last time the unit was working properly to which he replied 2/18/2019. As per the terms of service:
This Agreement does not cover any known or unknown pre-existing conditions.
Coverage applies to the systems and components mentioned as “covered” in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement so long as such systems and components are in place andin proper working order on the effective date of this Agreement.
Coverage went into effect on 2/15/2019. The multiple failures reported on the unit would not happen within the short life span of the policy, as these failures develop over time.
In an effort to provide good customer service, we offered the consumer $100 towards the cost of the repair, to which he declined, and ultimately decided to cancel the policy. After the first 30 days the policy is subject to the cancellation fees, which were not charged on this policy.

Total Home Protection has good service. Although, it took me a while to get them from calling me all the time and they always wanna keep selling me the plans. When I already got the plan, they quit calling me but three weeks later, they called me again. That aside, I have had their service for close to a year. I had one claim with them for the oven and the process was easy. I called them then they sent out a repairman on a Saturday. He cleaned and got the parts on Monday and came back a couple of days later to fix it. So far, I have had good experience with them.

I have Total Home Protection in my rental place. I used to have somebody else but I was not really happy with them. I went online, looked at some prices and decided to try Total Home Protection. The price is right and so far, I'm very happy with them. My tenant is happy, too. I had to go online and speak to people to get permission to add her to the account and let her submit claims. When she submitted a claim for the clothes dryer, it took for someone to call and make an appointment, but once she finally got through and got a return call, everything was very good. The contractor came out one time, changed the belt, and the repair was done. Also, I have another unit and I use another warranty company for that. They charge $100 per visit and the cost becomes prohibitive. When that runs out, I'm gonna switch over with Total Home Protection.

When I was considering this warranty 8 months ago the salesperson told me to get it for peace of mind. If anything breaks down, if they can't fix it they will replace it. Well my HVAC system (A/C & heating) was not heating my house when we had a cold spell a few weeks ago (3/26/19). So I decided to put a claim in and within 24 hours got a reply. I called the repair company and the technician came and told me it was the TXV valve (thermal expansion valve) that's not working. Well Total Home Protection told the tech that the part wasn't covered.
The TXV valve is a major part of the system? I pulled my contract and read it and most of the major parts that makes up the system wasn't covered? There are more parts not covered than covered (red flag). So this warranty is useless and it definitely isn't giving me a peace of mind. So I am out of pocket the service fee and the problem is not fixed. I will be canceling the contract because it's worthless, a waste of time and money.

Customer Service Supervisor was rude and argumentative. Only covered one of my four issues the rest were considered pre-existing or not covered. I've lost power to much of my house yet they won't fix it because they claim its due to a power surge! The technician that showed up looked homeless, wearing a dingy white shirt, untucked, and hardly spoke English. He was very unprofessional. He told us he'd be back in 3 business days to do the repairs. Almost a week later, I still hadn't heard from him so I called Total Home Protection, only to wait an hour and discover they weren't going to cover the issues the technician said he'd repair! I am so frustrated at this company! Don't waste your money like I did!

It was very difficult to file a claim with Total Home Protection. From the time I called them, they didn't call me back until three or four days. They gave me a number, so I called it and I got another company which took another two or three days to get back with me. It took seven or eight days for anybody to come to my house to look at the appliance. I was very aggravated and disappointed with the service until I got the actual service from the people that came. They took care of things quickly and effectively, so I was very pleased. After somebody came and fixed things, I was okay. It's just that their response time and the time it took to get somebody in my house way too long. It shouldn't take that long. My experience with the contractors was the best, nevertheless. They fixed the problem and they fixed it on the same day.
The experience before they came was horrible. The first time I called Total Home Protection, it felt like a scam because they said they didn't have anybody to work on the dryer in the whole state of Alabama. It was hard to believe. It was my first claim and it was very frustrating and disappointing. And having the appliances down, my wife had to pay extra and went around three hours outside trying to find a place to do the laundry. It was crazy, but they finally got it right and sent somebody, and that somebody was very effective. In the end, I was pleased. However, I am not ready to recommend Total Home Protection because I only had one experience and one claim, and it was 50/50. The first part of it was very frustrating and disappointing, while the last time was very good.

This company is not reliable! They failed to honor their responsibilities. 2 1/2 months trying to get my air conditioning unit & thermostat fixed. Company sent unreliable and very sketchy contractor to my home. I requested a refund for my policy and was told it would be refunded then 2 months later I was refunded a prorated amount. Spent HOURS on hold trying to get resolution. Told I would be contacted back and did not happen. Regret ever giving this company a chance - nothing but frustration, wasted time and wasted way too much money.

The consumer placed a claim for clothes washer on 03/22/2019 stating the unit was leaking. The vendor reported that the failure was with a foreign object being stuck in the drain pump causing it to crack and leak. Per our policy this type of failure did not constitute as a normal wear and tear. Please see the referenced section of the policy below;

I purchased a homeowner's insurance plan for my condo and used it a total of 3 times with every single claim being denied. The first claim was for my oven regulator not working properly because it was burning all the food. The claim was denied. The second claim was my dishwasher wasn't working properly and it was backed up. The claim was denied.
The 3rd claim was the fridge was leaking and it needed a new gasket. The claim was denied. I had to pay out of pocket all 3 times and they always had some lame excuse as to why they couldn't help me. What's the point of buying insurance, if they can't repair anything. I will never use these guys again and go with a more reputable provider. Don't get scammed like I did and don't waste your money. I will go back to Fidelity because I never had this problem and they always took care of me. I thought that I could save a few dollars with Total Home Protection but I was wrong. You get what you pay for. These guys are crooks and shouldn't be in business.
Thank you contacting us with the above referenced complaint. We at Total Home Protection treat each complaint with the utmost respect and use this feedback to better serve our valued customers. Understandably there are two sides to every story and always look for a fair resolution between all parties.
The consumer placed a claim for an oven on 6/9/2018. During the initial call-in questionnaire, we asked the consumer when the last time the unit was working properly, and the consumer advised 6/8/2018. As per the terms of service:
VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
A. The following are not included during the contract term; (i) malfunction or improper operation due to rust or corrosion of all systems and appliances, (ii) collapsed ductwork, (iii) known or unknown pre-existing conditions, deficiencies and/or defects.
Coverage went into effect on 6/8/2018. Being that the unit stopped working properly on the start date of the policy, this show the unit did not, in fact, enter into the policy in proper working order.
The consumer also placed a claim for a dishwasher on 8/21/2018 stating it was leaking water. The vendor reported the leak was coming from a garbage disposal that was improperly installed. Per our policy, this is a failure which is not covered. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:

The consumer then placed a claim for a refrigerator on 3/6/2019 stating it freezes food one minute then turns warm. The vendor reported the failure was due to a ripped door gasket as well as a broken light socket. Per our policy, these failures are excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:
V. COVERAGE
C. Refrigerator Note: Refrigerator must be located in the kitchen.
COVERED: All components and parts, including integral freezer unit, except:
NOT COVERED: Racks; shelves; glass; lighting; handles; doors, door seals, hinges, and gaskets; Freon; disposal and recapture of Freon; ice makers, ice crushers, beverage dispensers and their respective equipment; water lines and valve to ice maker; line restrictions; leaks of any kind; maintenance; interior thermal shells; freezers which are not an integral part of the refrigerator; wine chillers or mini refrigerators; food spoilage; noise without a related mechanical failure; multi-media centers and internet connection components.
In an effort to provide good customer service, an additional service charge fee has been added to the policy which will be applied to the next submitted claim.
