    I purchased a plan to warranty my home for $2000 dollars. 6 months later my 4 year old dryer locked up. I contacted Total Home Protection and they sent a tech out. He determined it had a bad main circuit board. Total Home Protection (not) decided to prorate the value of my dryer and send me a $180 check. REALLY! AFTER DEDUCTING $45 FOR THE SERVICE CALL I GET $135! This is a scam! I'm out of pocket $600 in replacement cost! I advise strongly agianst doing business with these people. Totally Disatisfied customer.

    We live in the Midwest. We called Total Home Protection to warranty our furnace which had stopped working in 21-degree weather. We were told that since it could take up to 48 hours for a service tech to come out that we could get reimbursed if we paid for services upfront out of pocket to expedite our repair claim. We did so and had our licensed professional tech contacted Total Home Protection to get it approved. Our tech repaired our furnace and the cost was $450 in which we paid, expecting to get reimbursed as previously discussed by Total Home Protection.

    Upon speaking to them they "denied" the repair and cost due to the fact that our service tech report stated that a wire had come loose within the furnace itself, which caused the board to go out, along with a conduit. They said because the wire came loose, the board and conduit were considered secondary and that the policy would not allow coverage for this issue. WHAT!!! They left us hanging with a whopping bill of $450. We are reporting them to Consumer Affairs and any other social media site that we can. BUYER BEWARE!!! THEY HIDE BETWEEN "FINE" PRINT! They are not what they seem to be. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

    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 clam for the heating system on 10/31/2019 stating the unit was not coming on. Because we are not an emergency service, it is advised to give us up to 48 business hours to secure a vendor to the claim, or utilize our reimbursement process which is available to all consumers to use. This process was explained to the consumer on the same day. on 11/1/2019, the consumer called in and advised they secured their own vendor. The vendor called in to the authorization department and reported the failure was with a loose neutral wire that caused the failure to the inducer motor and circuit board. Per our policy, secondary damages/failures are excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:

    VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

    X. You agree that we are not liable for the negligence or other conduct of the Service Contractor, nor are we an insurer of Service Contractor’s performance. You also agree that we are not liable for consequential, incidental, indirect, secondary, or punitive damages. You expressly waive the right to all such damages. Your sole remedy under this Agreement is recovery of the cost of the required repair or replacement, whichever is less. You agree that, in no event, will our liability exceed $1500 per contract item for access, diagnosis, repair and/or replacement.

    The consumer did not agree with the outcome of the claim and requested a review, stating their vendor informed them we advised the claim was covered. The phone conversation between the consumer’s vendor and our Authorizations department was reviewed, and the consumer’s vendor advised they would be charging the consumer upfront and would not be willing to wait for the determination. We were also able to confirm the vendor in fact told our Authorizations department that the failed open neutral wire is what caused the failure to the inducer fan motor and the circuit board.

    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.

    In an effort to provide good customer service, we can increase the goodwill offered to $250.00 towards this non-covered failure and a free service charge fee towards a future placed claim.

    I had issues with the lighting in my bathroom. And so, I called Total Home Protection. It took them two days to get a technician assigned to the job, and then, they sent a number for me to call the technician. I called the technician, and he said, “Okay. I will come out in a week’s time. I’ll put you on the schedule.” The day of the service, he never showed up. So, I called him and he said I was not on his schedule. I called Total Home Protection and told them to take that guy off the list of servicemen. It took Total Home Protection again another three days to assign another person. And then, when I called the person, he said they never really accepted the job because they were booked out two weeks.

    I called Total Home Protection and I said, “This guy never accepted the job. How come you still assign me to them?” Three weeks later, they told me that they would allow me to find my own person and then submit the invoice. Why provide the services if they don’t have service people to be able to do the repairs? The problem was those were the only two electricians they had in my area. I called somebody personally.

    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 electrical system on 10/11/2019 stating the bathroom light was not working. We assigned a vendor on the next business day, 10/14/2019 who advised they have availability to service the claim on 10/17/2019. On 10/17/2019 the consumer advised the vendor did not have them on the schedule and requested reassignment. On 10/18/2019 we reassigned the claim to a new vendor who informed us the soonest available date for service was 11/1/2019.

    Because we are not an emergency service, we contacted the consumer and advised they can wait for this appointment date or can utilize our reimbursement process. 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.

    The consumer accepted the reimbursement process and a Claim Reimbursement Form was sent which has the instructions on how the process works. We have yet to receive a diagnosis from the consumer’s vendor as to the cause of failure or an invoice.

    In an effort to provide good customer service, the consumer can submit the paid invoice to info@TotalHomeProtection.com for review and possible assistance with reimbursement.

    We had other home protections and we were very unhappy with them. I figured I'd try Total Home Protection, they're a new company. We had a washing machine that wasn't spinning. We called them and filed a claim. Their claims reps were on target and they got to us quickly, and they sent somebody out. The contractor called us 15 minutes before they were coming. They knew what they were doing. Since then, everything is perfect. I'm very happy with Total Home Protection, much more happy than with any I've had. We own the house but we don't live in there, and I wanna make sure that it's running correctly. So, having Total Home Protection is very valuable to me.

    The tenant told me that he came home and there was water dripping out of the air conditioning vent onto his couch. When he looked up, the vent was all full of water. The float that shuts off the air conditioning failed, so it didn't shut the water and the water kept coming through into his living room. I called Total Home Protection and explained what was going on, but that was a useless call. They did absolutely nothing and my tenant had to pay the $45 service fee for the contractor to come. His ceiling is ruined but Total refused to do anything about fixing the ceiling or painting it. The Total rep got in touch with a supervisor and they got back to us and told us that the mold, the dripping, the painting, and even the part for the float were not covered. Absolutely nothing was covered. Everything was out of pocket so it was a big waste of money.

    I'm dissatisfied with Total Home Protection. They didn't do what they were supposed to do. They didn't do what they said they would cover. They did something with the dishwasher though, something to do with the seal of the dishwasher. They did fix that. But as far as air conditioning, they did nothing. And now, we have to get somebody in to paint. I've been with them for a year and a half and we have the platinum Total Home warranty protection. It’s a three or a five-year policy, and I paid everything upfront. If it was up to me, I would cancel the policy. But because I have a tenant living there, I don't wanna do it in case something else happens.

    If I could select 0 stars I would. I purchased Total Home Protection home warranty about a year and a half ago. The First time I needed them was I believe January this year. My furnace would keep shutting off and would need reset. After a week of this I decided to give them a call, they took down my information and had a technician schedule an appointment.

    A day or so the technician called and asked where I lived. He then proceeded to tell me he does not travel that far, would have been a 2 hour drive. So I called them back. They got someone local. When that technician arrived he checked the furnace and could not get it to duplicate the problem. He looked at the igniters, the nozzle and the burner. He opted to replace the nozzle. He contacted his company and told them what he found. They tried to contact Total Home Protection to get approval for the repair. When they could not reach them he said he would replace the nozzle and turn it in later as other warranty companies approve these.

    Later that night while at work I get a call from his Boss stating the warranty company denied the claim and I would have to pay for the Nozzle. I ended up calling them (Total Home Protection) and asked why the part was not covered. They told me it was a maintenance item. After 3 hours on the phone they said they would pay it after I threatened to cancel my policy. I should have just cancelled at this time. Then a couple weeks later my furnace acted up again, I called them back. They said they would send the company back out at no charge to me for the deductible, sorry deductible was $45.00 the first time, the furnace company came out again. He said my control module or something like that was bad and needed replaced.

    After the first time he said he was going back to the shop and submit the pictures and report online to them. They called me back the next day and told me yet again the parts would not be covered and that the warranty company is not paying for the call, again I would have to pay for it, the service call and if I wanted the part. Another $100.00 gone. When I asked why it was not covered they said the technician said my OIL FURNACE was dirty and dusty. It's an oil furnace in a double wide, that's 20 years old. Of course it will be dirty and dusty. It sucks the air in the front thru a filter.

    On another note I get the furnace serviced twice a year. So, in enters summertime. Do Not Need Furnace. I called about two and a half months ago about my air not reaching the back of the house. They sent out a different company, the other did not want to deal with them anymore, for my air. He said the flow was good and the unit was cooling good. He said he would need to get permission from the warranty company to do a flow test at the registers and crawl under the house to see if there were any leak in the duct work (supposed to be covered). He was leaving and I had to pay him the deductible, He said it was $100.00, I paid. He went back to the office and submitted his write up. Again they denied. They said he said there was no access to the duct work. There is a crawl space and nice big open door to get in there. They would not authorize him to come back and check the duct work.

    I called them up and went off again. Threaten to cancel again. They said, "Oh we will pay to reimburse you for the overage on the deductible. Just send in the receipts." That was one manager. Called back to check on it 3 weeks ago. I got, "She quit. Don't worry about it. Got another manager Sean, I'll take care of it and the out of pocket money I paid so I could get my duct work fixed. Just submit the bills here to my email. I WILL TAKE CARE OF IT." That was three weeks ago.

    So over the weekend my electric oven decides to explode. Literally, went to walk outside and heard a big woof then flames and then nothing thankfully. I called them to get it repaired get the claim they said 24-48 hours for a tech to get the order. I called yesterday 2 days later. "We don't have anyone on the weekend to do service. You need to wait 24-48 hours from Monday." So me and my fiancée go looking for a stove. I found one good price. Bought it. Thought if they can't repair, they replace No matter the age of the equipment (Right).

    So like I said I called them on Monday driving home from getting our new stove. They never answered. Left a call back, they did call back. Had the girl on the phone and she was the one who told me the 24-48 hours from yesterday so that was fine. I'll deal with it. When I asked to speak with the manager about what was going on with my duct work reimbursement. She connected me. The manager came on. I gave her the reason for the call and she said there was no change in the report. Nothing had been done. She ask who I emailed the receipts to, came back on and said they are not paying.

    Well this is where I lost it. I told her to cancel my claim for the stove and my policy. She said, "Hang on. Let me check on something." Came back on and said the other manger is not there. I said, "Cancel my policy. Every time I call in all I get is a run around. Just cancel my policy." She comes back on and says, "We will give you 6 months free and waive the $45.00 fee for service calls for 6 months." So that $37.44 a month times 6 comes out to be $224.64. Add in the $45.00 times 6 that's another $270.00. All totaled $494.64. I wanted reimbursed the $55.00 for the service call and $150.00 I paid for them to diagnose the issue. $205.00 and they denied it. They would have saved money by paying my bills and wouldn't. So Please, Please look real hard before buying from them. After being denied that many times I canceled and went with Choice Home Warranty. Costs more but also covers more and yes they cover nozzles.

    The consumer placed a claim for a heating system not working on 1/28/2019. The vendor reported that the nozzle had failed as it was clogged with soot/debris. As per the policy this failure is not covered

    B. Heating System

    Note: Coverage available on units up to a 5-ton capacity, and for residential use only.

    COVERED: Mechanical parts and components of two (2) systems, either hot water and steam heating system or centrally ducted forced air gas/electric/oil heating system or electric baseboard units, if providing the primary source of heat in dwelling, as follows: accessible ductwork from covered heating unit to point of attachment to register/grill; blower fan motors; burners; controls; fan blades; heat/cool thermostats (programmable and electronic set back units will be replaced only with standard units); heating elements; ignitor and pilot assemblies; internal system controls; wiring; and relays; motors (excludes dampers); and switches. Electric baseboard units are covered if they are the primary source of heating for the property.

    NOT COVERED: Chimneys, flues, and liners; cleaning and re-lighting of pilots; concrete encased or inaccessible ductwork; concrete encased or inaccessible steam or radiant heating coils or lines; conditions of water flow restriction due to scale, rust, minerals and other deposits; heat exchangers; cracked heat exchangers; rusted and/or corroded heat exchangers; maintenance and cleaning; calcium build-up; evaporator coil pan; primary or secondary drain pans; fossil and dual fuel control systems and other energy management systems and controls; dampers; asbestos insulated ductwork or piping; electric baseboard heat unless primary heating system in home; filters (including electronic/electrostatic and de-ionizing filter systems); fireplaces and their respective components and gas lines; free-standing or portable heating units; heat lamps; pellet stoves; fuel storage tanks, lines, and filters; gas log systems, including gas feed lines; valves; key valves; oil filters, nozzles, or strainers; humidifiers; inaccessible water/steam lines leading to or from system; backflow preventers; individual space heaters; panels and/or cabinetry; radiant heating systems built into walls, floors or ceilings; registers and grills; secondary units; solar heating devices and components; maintenance; noise without a related mechanical failure; improperly sized heating systems; mismatched systems; and structural components.

    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.

    In an effort to assist the consumer we authorized the vendor for this repair in good faith.

    The vendor contacted us after replacing the nozzle to advise the primary control failed. The consumer was advised that even though this was a non-covered claim we repaired the initial failure in good faith. Due to lack of proper maintenance with the nozzle being clogged with soot/debris, it caused the secondary failure to the primary control. As per the policy this failure is not covered.

    VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

    D. This Agreement covers only repairs and/or replacements due to mechanical failure attributable to ordinary wear and tear. Accordingly, the Agreement does not cover failures which may result from other causes, such as without limitation abuse; misuse and/or neglect; lack of maintenance; rust and/or corrosion; noise without a related mechanical failure; chemical or sedimentary build up; failures due to calcium build-up; lightning strikes; missing parts; animal, pet and/or pest damage; power failure; power surge; fire; casualty; water damage; acts of God; structural and/or property damage; flood; smoke; earthquake; freeze damage; accidents; war; acts of terrorism; nuclear explosion, reaction, radiation or radioactive contamination; insurrection; riots; vandalism; or intentional destruction of property. This Agreement does not cover mechanical failures resulting directly or indirectly from or caused by mold, mildew, mycotoxins, fungus, bacteria, virus, condensation, and/or wet or dry rot regardless of the source, origin, or location and any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any sequence to the mechanical failure. We are not responsible for drywall or rough finish repairs on not covered claims.

    In an effort to provide good customer service, we offered to waive 2 monthly premium payments as well as 2 free service charge fees to which the consumer declined and ultimately requested to cancel the policy.

    I've been with Total Home Protection on-and-off for about 20 years. I am gonna check into American Home Shield and a couple of other ones that my other co-workers are telling me about and make sure I’m getting all the coverage I can get. I don’t mind paying my monthly bill, I just want them to be there when I need them. When the water heater had a problem and I called them, they said that my card expired three months prior. I asked, “Why'd you come?" They said that they could re-establish it and it’d take 30 days before I could make another claim.

    When I called about a leak around the seal of the toilet, a drippy sink faucet and an outside faucet that was dripping, they didn’t give what I wanted, but I had great service. I thought they covered all the plumbing, however, nothing was covered but the toilet seal. They put a new seal on the toilet and fixed the leak. The contractor was quick. He was young but he knew what he was doing and talking about. Everything was done within an hour. Once he diagnosed what he thought the problem was, he turned the water off, disconnected the toilet, put a new seal in and put it all back together.

    I recommend avoiding Total Home Protection (THP) warranty services regardless of what low price specials they entice you with. I canceled my contract after a couple of years with them and learned how they run their operations. Here’s my story and lessons – read carefully to understand how they “get” you: You will see offers from them occasionally. If you call them you can usually even get a better offer. The price seemed good which is why I signed up. When I received the full terms, you will see a massive amount of exclusions under each of the covered systems areas. There are generally more exclusions than inclusions. It turns out that the excluded items are usually the most common items that occur with normal wear and tear, which they claim to cover. More on this later…

    After seeing the lengthy exclusions, I called to cancel within my 30-day free policy. When you ask to cancel, you get transferred to their friendly and nice “managers” (totally different personality than their claims administrators and customer support staff). They can further sweeten your deal and make you some extra special offers – which mine did. They were able to reduce the plan another 25% from what I was originally set to pay, and gave me some free service calls to prove that I would like their service.

    About a year into the plan, I had a washing machine issue. The tech was scheduled (it takes about 48 hours to get connected with a contractor who you then have to call). They weren’t aware of my free service call so that took some managing. The tech said the machine was repairable but the repair cost would be more than a replacement, so authorized replacement.

    LESSON #1: for replacement, THP will lean on one of the contract terms saying they can offer a cash replacement value instead of actually doing the work. They did exactly this, but the catch is that they offer you such a lowball amount (and do not include anything for labor) that you can’t actually replace the unit for that money. The offered value was about 70% of even great sale prices for washing machines – and I am a very smart shopper. They said they don’t buy machines anymore either, so wouldn’t replace it for me – but the money they offered me was supposedly their “cost”, even though they no longer buy machines?

    LESSON #2: About another year later, I had a cooling system issue. The technician said that the issue was a valve part, but also noted that there was rust on another part of the equipment. Sure enough, THP’s terms excluded rust. So even though rust had nothing to do with the actual broken part, THP denied the claim because of rust exclusion. This goes back to my original reason for canceling the policy – their exclusions are so lengthy that they have given themselves literally hundreds of excuses for denials.

    I checked into other top-rated warranty companies and they do not have lengthy exclusion lists anything like THP. Between exclusions and low-ball, impossible cash offers for “replacement”, this warranty is obviously not intended to protect you, but rather trick you left and right. That was my final straw so I canceled. Yet again, you go to a nice and friendly manager to save the customer and start the game over again. Learn from my experience and do not use this warranty company.

    I've been with Total Home Protection for a year now. We had an electrical problem so I called them about it. It was our very first claim. The rep that I spoke with was good and the contractor's service was good too, but his personality could’ve been a little better. Fixing it didn't take him long at all because it was something totally simple that we could’ve done ourselves, but we didn’t realize that. So, we gave him $60 for that.

    So far, everything is fine. My only downside is that I thought it was a 24-hour service, but the 24-hour service is just for customer service where you can call in and make a claim. I didn’t realize there wasn’t any service over the weekend. You can only get someone to come out Monday through Friday, and sometimes emergencies pop up. In fact, we did have another little issue and the neighbor was able to help us fix that because it wasn’t something that could wait. So, I wasn’t really too happy about that.

    My heating system wasn't responding to the thermostat on 10/15/19. Guess what? It's 10/28/19, and I'm still waiting for THP to get a tech to fix the problem! The tech they assigned on 10/17/19, wasn't able to schedule me in until the 20th, after he did the analysis he did not answer my calls or send the needed information to THP. So for me it has been a nightmare! I am waiting to be reassigned! Yes! I call every day, and get the same answer. "You will get an email with the tech that is assigned to you!" I'm 74 and my house is cold!

    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 a heating system not responding to the thermostat on 10/15/2019. The vendor reported that the compressor was failing due to lack of proper routine maintenance. Per our policy this failure is clearly excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below;

    VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

    D. This Agreement covers only repairs and/or replacements due to mechanical failure attributable to ordinary wear and tear. Accordingly, the Agreement does not cover failures which may result from other causes, such as without limitation abuse; misuse and/or neglect; lack of maintenance; rust and/or corrosion; noise without a related mechanical failure; chemical or sedimentary build up; failures due to calcium build-up; lightning strikes; missing parts; animal, pet and/or pest damage; power failure; power surge; fire; casualty; water damage; acts of God; structural and/or property damage; flood; smoke; earthquake; freeze damage; accidents; war; acts of terrorism; nuclear explosion, reaction, radiation or radioactive contamination; insurrection; riots; vandalism; or intentional destruction of property. This Agreement does not cover mechanical failures resulting directly or indirectly from or caused by mold, mildew, mycotoxins, fungus, bacteria, virus, condensation, and/or wet or dry rot regardless of the source, origin, or location and any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any sequence to the mechanical failure. We are not responsible for drywall or rough finish repairs on non-covered claims.

    The consumer contacted us to advise that our vendor was unresponsive and initiated in getting their own vendor out to diagnose the failure. As per the consumer "He found a spider web was not allowing the gas to flow to the pilot. It took him 20 minutes to do the job." This confirms Total Home Protections vendor’s diagnosis.

    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.

    In an effort to assist this consumer, they may send a copy of the paid receipt to mediation@totalhomeprotection.com for review for reimbursement.

    We had signed up with one company, and in the meantime, Total Home Protection contacted us and told us that the company that we had just signed up with was under a lawsuit. So, we dropped them and went with Total Home Protection in May to cover for the 30 days in between. The first claim that we had with them was for a pool motor that went out. I submitted a claim through a phone call and we went through an answering service that they have. They said that they have plenty of contractors, but they don't because it took them four days, and I was still calling and asking them to send somebody out. And that was when they said I could get my own.

    The contractor that came out was okay. He got the job done. A new motor was put in for the pool, so it's working fine now. But that was our guy because Total didn't have anybody that they could send out. It was a terrible experience, overall. Their response time was bad., and the people in charge of the account were rude and disrespectful. I signed a contract with another company already but we're not leaving Total for sure until next month because they owe us money. They had us pay for the pool repair, and then told us it would be 30 days before we got our check. But we still haven't gotten our reimbursement check back. We can't wait to get it so we can get away from them.

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 refrigerator on 8/7/2019. 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 “one day ago”. This would make that date 8/6/2019. 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 and

    in proper working order on the effective date of this Agreement.

    Coverage went into effect on 9/4/2019. Being that the unit was not working properly on 8/6/2019, this is the absolute definition of a “pre-existing condition” and NOT in proper working order on the effective coverage start date of 9/4/2019.

    The consumer then placed another claim for the refrigerator on 9/11/2019 stating the unit was not cooling. The claim was placed on hold and the consumer was advised we will need a proof of repair showing the unit had been fixed from the previous non-covered claim placed on 8/7/2019. The consumer advised the unit was not repaired.

    In an effort to provide good customer service, we offered $100.00 goodwill towards this non-covered claim which was accepted.

    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.

    Please beware of this fraudulent company. They do not want to cover nor pay for any repairs. 1. It takes forever for this company to find a contractor. 2. I had to find a contractor myself for all the claims I filed. 3. Once the diagnostics for the repair are provided, Total Home does not want to cover the repair or replacement. They provide some excuse or the other to buy out the appliance so that they are not responsible for the repair or replacement costs.

    4. The buy out amount offered is a standard $100 and they expect you to buy a new dishwasher or washer in $100 5. Total Home was going to send me 2 checks for 2 separate claims since they decided to buy out the appliances. Been over 10 weeks, no checks yet in spite of multiple followups. Excuses like 'printer machine was down', 'issues with AP department'.... are given all the time.

    The consumer placed a claim for a plumbing stoppage on 4/3/2019 stating the sink was not draining. We assigned a vendor on 4/4/2019 which is within the 24-48 business hour timeframe as described in the policy. The vendor reported the failure was a stoppage in the sink of the master bathroom. Per the policy, this was a covered claim and the vendor was given authorization to complete the repair.

    The consumer then placed a claim for the air conditioner after business hours on 7/23/2019 stating the unit was not turning on. We assigned a vendor on 7/26/2019 to service the claim. Shortly after the vendor was assigned, the consumer requested to find their own vendor to take care of the claim, and a reimbursement form was emailed. We have yet to receive a diagnosis from the consumer’s vendor or an invoice/reimbursement form associated with this specific claim.

    The consumer then placed a claim for the dishwasher on 9/18/2019 stating the unit was not coming on. While placing the claim, the consumer advised the customer service representative they would like to use their own vendor to service the claim. The vendor reported the failure was with the main control board. Based on the age of the unit as well as the failure, we determined in order to provide a long term solution to future potential issues, the best course of action is to provide the consumer with funds to put towards the replacement of the unit.

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. We are not liable for replacement of entire systems or appliances due to obsolete, discontinued or unavailability of one or more integral parts. 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.

    V. We reserve the right to offer cash back in lieu of repair or replacement in the amount of our actual cost, which at times may be less than retail, to repair or replace any covered system, component or appliance. In the event a covered system or appliance is deemed irreparable or it is not cost effective to repair, we may replace the system or appliance with a system or appliance of like capacity, the price of which shall not exceed the depreciated value of the system or appliance being replaced. THP is not

    responsible for installation. The cash settlement shall be in an amount not to exceed the depreciated value of the component, system, or appliance being replaced.

    I came home from vacation and my air conditioner was not cooling. I called Total Home Protection and I had a tech come out and fix it within three days. He was fine. My experience was good. I’ve also had a recent claim in the last four weeks for the air conditioner because it was not cooling again. I filed that claim out on the website, and that one has been much more of a challenge. The first guy came out, and he had to go upstairs and look at the unit. The unit is in my attic that you get access through a bedroom closet. And he went up and did that, and he never really told me what was wrong. So, that took about a week to finally get out that their company did not have a technician of a size who could get up into my attic and figure out what was wrong with the unit, and Total Home needed to find another company with a smaller technician that could get in my attic.

    We hem-hawed around and back and forth, and I got somebody else up there. Somebody else came out and looked at it. He got up in the attic and he was very noncommittal and said he would have to go back to his company and talk to them. So, three days later, I made a phone call again to Total Home and they said that my claim had been denied because the guy said that the air conditioner was not installed to code, and they could not work on it. They told me that because it’s in the attic, there was no platform and nothing for the technician to get up there and work on it. In other words, I don’t have an attic that’s completely decked. They also said that because of the debris around the air conditioner, they could not work on it, and that it had not been maintained properly. My house was built back in the 80s, and this air conditioner is original to the house.

    One of the things that I’m dissatisfied with is I’m the one that kept having to make phone calls. So, the second company that came out and went up in the attic, I tried to call them back several times. I probably left three messages. I got a hold of the technician one time and talked to him, and he couldn’t remember. He’d have to go back and look at the invoices and see if he could figure out which one it was. So again, I left a voicemail with a name, phone number, and I said, “I believe I, at least, deserve the courtesy of a callback to tell me what in the world is going on.” After that, I called Total Home back, and the guy that was supposedly in charge of my claim said that he was just getting ready to send me an email. It’s not cool in Texas right now even though it’s October. So, it has been a pretty miserable month.

    I just purchased my home, and Total Home Protection was the first that called me and made an offer. We had good service from the contractor that came out for our plumbing system. The contractor was an older man. He was really very nice. He would answer all my questions, all my concerns, and he took care of whatever needed to be done very quickly. And what I like best was that, it was for one day only.

    When I submitted the claim with Total Home Protection, I called, and they made the report, and then the next day, I got a call from the man that came to work. The only thing was there was a confusion where the lady I spoke to did tell me that they were gonna call me or email me from the people that were gonna come fix the plumbing, and I never received an email or anything. I just got a call the following day from the man that came to my house. But other than that, it was great service.

I have an electrical problem, not an outlet.” I also had my hot water heater burst. I pay Total Home Protection a monthly charge and a charge when they come out here, but then, he wanna charge me 300 and something dollars extra to fix it when it’s supposed to be insured to be fixed.

    The consumer placed a claim for the electrical system on 7/30/2019 stating that there were 3 electrical issues located in the kitchen and 2 separate bedrooms. The vendor reported the failure was a light switch and GFI outlet in the kitchen needed to be replaced, an outlet in the upstairs bedroom had burned out and needed to be replaced, and a light switch in the downstairs bedroom was shorted out and needed to be replaced. The vendor also advised he checked for circuit overloads or power failures to ensure there was not a deeper issue which came back to be no further problems. We gave the vendor authorization to complete the repairs. If the repairs still have not been completed and the vendor needs to go back, the consumer can call the vendor directly to schedule an appointment for repair.

    The consumer then placed a claim for the water heater on 9/4/2019 stating there was no hot water coming. The vendor reported the failure was with the thermocouple had failed and needed to be replaced. This claim was covered and authorization was given to the vendor to complete the repair.

We’re still waiting on a follow-up from the last call, and the person hasn’t called back yet. And only because the air conditioning’s working have we not pursued it.

Their contract is a Big Lie stating “Don’t be left holding the bag and they will fix or replace” since the $250 is hardly enough to buy another fridge that they're proposing; they also tell you it takes 30 business days (6 weeks) to receive their buy out of the claim.

Giving you an one of the examples. My dishwasher broke. Their tech came to the house and told me they need to replace one of the parts which is covered by this warranty service and will cost me $500. When he called the customer service to let them know what needed they told him and Aldo me they will give me $120.00 and it is in the contract. This is just one thing. When you are getting this service PLEASE BE AWARE what you are getting into.

    Another example is my air conditioner. It broke in the weekend and I have days old grand baby. I called them right away and the rep told me customer service is not available in the weekend. Call the technician and they will reimburse. I got the technician and had it fixed. Called them for reimbursement. Customer service supervisors read off what is in the contract and said I didn’t get authorized and denied. I was telling them to check the log and their own people told me to get it done but no luck. These are the few examples and I can go on and on. This is the worst company to get the warranty service from. Sales people say if they can’t fix They will replace big true at all.

And then I put in two claims. One person for the AC came and one person for the oven came. The AC was pretty easy. The lady showed up on time then she walked to the house and said there was nothing wrong. The only option I had was if I wanted to add a ducting instead of having so many split-off of one duct because there’s like two splits, I would have to add another line.

    The oven, though, was very frustrating. The guy showed up on time and then he diagnosed the problem. But getting him to come back out to replace the element in the oven just seemed like really difficult. The time didn’t match up with my work schedule or he would present a time that wasn’t effective, like didn’t work for me. The last time, he asked if he could come between 9:00 and 11:00 in the morning on a Saturday, which I agreed to, and then he showed up late, and that was his own time. He didn’t come until almost noon or just after noon, and I was trying to get ready for a wedding. But everything’s working fine. The oven’s back and running, and then the AC was just all the splits, there was less air since it splits off.

    My prior policy went out of business so I googled and I found out about Total Home Protection. I’m a single mom with not a lot of income, and if I have a problem with my home, I need it repaired. I don’t have a lot of money, so I got me a warranty. I have a recent claim on my refrigerator but I withdrew it because I didn't know I had $1,000 deductible and I only had a $500 damage. As far as submitting claims with Total Home Protection, I don’t like the way they work. I always follow up with the phone. I don’t like it too much because they sub the business out, but it is what it is.

    The guy that repaired the refrigerator was excellent. He resolved the issue. I'm not happy with the AC guy, though. I don’t think he knew what the heck he was doing. And then I ended up paying, out of my own pocketbook, 125 to an independent guy and he fixed the problem. I ended up contacting a friend’s husband that owns an air conditioning company, and for 125, he was able to repair my unit. I was dissatisfied with the AC guy. But then that same company does refrigeration and they repaired my refrigerator problem, so it’s the tech. It’s not the company.

    Overall, I’m not that happy with my experience with Total Home Protection because they sub their business out, but it’s better than nothing. The other company that I had for 10 years went out of business, but they were excellent. They work for the company and the response was quicker. With Total Home Protection, they email you and then you have to check your email and then it’s a hassle. It takes too long for them to come out. But I’m gonna keep them because it’s only like $45 a month and it’s better than nothing.

    My AC worked for a little bit, but it burned up. They cut the back breaker off and the fan motor came off. He put a bigger fan motor on it and the screws broke off in there. My husband knew the guy broke the screw off, but he did not fix it. The man nearly burnt my house up and shocked himself three or four times. He tore the inside of the air conditioner and the wires up. It was horrible and I would not recommend him. I called Total Home Protect again and it took four days for a new contractor, Kevin from TrueTemp from Buna, to come out. I had to call him, and then I got a letter in the mail before the guy came out. He was nice.

    The toilet was leaking so I filled out a claim with Total Home Protection online. I didn’t hear from anybody for about three to four days. Then, I called in and I was told that they had no plumbers in my area and that I should find a plumber. Did I know a plumber that could service my toilet? And when I said, “No,” they said, they would look for one. I asked how long it would take them and they said between seven days.

    It took them about three days to find a plumber and we were seven days out then. Once they found the plumber, everything went smoothly. But I asked why was I not informed when I signed on to this contract that they had zero vendors for plumbing in my area and what other vendors do they not have in my area so that I will know. Those questions were not answered. I have something broken in my house now, and I’m going to call Total Home Protection. If I am told that they don’t have a vendor, I’m gonna be very dissatisfied. And I’m coming from four or five years of dealing with another home warranty company, which was American Home Shield and then Choice. So, I do not like being told that I don’t have a vendor in my area.

    Hello fellow consumers out there. I have been using different home warranty plans for the past 20 years. I recently switched to Total Home Protection (seven months), I paid up front for three years providing total coverage for three homes. The cost for the three years of coverage was three thousand dollars and some change. One home is my primary home. The other two are investment properties.

    To make a long story short, I personal processed four claims (work orders) only one was properly taken care of. The other three heater system ($1000.00), I replaced a unit out of pocket; two refrigerators had problems from the two different rental properties, I replaced out of pocket another $800.00 for both units. You can’t leave your tenants hanging. Bottom line, Total Home Protection is a sham, poor service. The second refrigerator work order took 10 days before I was even contacted by the designated company, no exaggeration. I hired another company and fired Total Home Protection. Very poor service overall, not reliable, a total rip off. Due to the process of pro rate, I only received $1600.00 back from $3000.00 and some change (only seven months of coverage). Do not waste your hard earned money on Total Home Protection, substandard service overall.

    When looking for a home warranty, stay away from Total Home Protection. They seem to have a low monthly charge, and a low deductible, but their service is terrible. We had problems with our pool pump and our A/C unit. The fine print is, for your pool, it is $500 a year repairs which includes labor! Everything on a pool costs more than that! On our A/C unit, the unit was freezing up. The fine print doesn't cover coils or leaks....which is 90% of an A/C repair.

    As for calling in a service request, the pool request to almost 7 days for a response. I had to call them. They were looking for someone to repair our pool, which no one called and told me that. On the A/C unit, I still haven't received a call letting me know if a technician will be out. They want to push you into getting someone out yourself, so you pay out of pocket, and they only have to pay the minimum amount, and you have paid the rest. Horrible, horrible warranty company! Buyer beware!!

    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 pool on 8/31/2019 stating that the pump was not turning on. The vendor reported the failure was with the main pool pump has locked up and needed to be replaced. This claim was approved, and the CAP on the coverage was sent to the consumer to help cover the cost of the repair. The CAP is advised in the description of coverage for this specific item. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:

    VI. OPTIONAL COVERAGE

    A. Pool/Spa Equipment

    Note: Shared equipment is covered. If equipment is not shared, then only one or the other is covered unless an additional fee is paid.

    COVERED: Above ground components and parts of the pumping, and filtration system including pool sweep motor and pump; pump motor; blower motor and timer; filter; filter timer; gaskets; timer; valves, limited to back flush, actuator, check, and 2 and 3-way valves; relays and switches; above ground plumbing pipes and wiring, except:

    NOT COVERED: Portable or above ground spas; access to pool and spa equipment; lights; liners and tile; jets; ornamental fountains, waterfalls and their pumping systems; auxiliary pumps; pool cover and related equipment; fill line and fill valves; built-in or detachable cleaning equipment including, without limitation, pool sweeps, pop-up heads, turbo valves, skimmers, chlorinators, and ionizers; fuel
    storage tanks; disposable filtration mediums; heat pump; heaters; control panels; control boards; multi-media centers; dehumidifiers; salt water generators and components; salt water systems; cracked or corroded filter casings; grids; cartridges; maintenance; structural defects; solar equipment and components. We will pay no more than $500 per contract term for access, diagnosis, repair and/or

    replacement.

    The consumer then placed a claim for the air conditioner on 9/10/2019 stating the line keeps freezing and the unit is low on Freon. The vendor reported the failure was with a leaking Schrader valve and 4lbs of missing refrigerant. The amount of Freon leaking from the system is not a failure that would occur if the effective maintenance was performed. Effective maintenance being done would have ensured this component was intact and prevented it from leaking this amount of Freon out the system. Per our policy, this failure is excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:

    VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

    D. This Agreement covers only repairs and/or replacements due to mechanical failure attributable to ordinary wear and tear. Accordingly, the Agreement does not cover failures which may result from other causes, such as without limitation abuse; misuse and/or neglect; lack of maintenance; rust and/or corrosion; noise without a related mechanical failure; chemical or sedimentary build up; failures due to calcium build-up; lightning strikes; missing parts; animal, pet and/or pest damage; power failure; power surge; fire; casualty; water damage; acts of God; structural and/or property damage; flood; smoke; earthquake; freeze damage; accidents; war; acts of terrorism; nuclear explosion, reaction, radiation or radioactive contamination; insurrection; riots; vandalism; or intentional destruction of property. This Agreement does not cover mechanical failures resulting directly or indirectly from or caused by mold, mildew, mycotoxins, fungus, bacteria, virus, condensation, and/or wet or dry rot regardless of the source, origin, or location and any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any sequence to the mechanical failure. We are not responsible for drywall or rough finish repairs on not covered claims.

    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.

    In an effort to provide good customer service, we offered to overturn the claim and cover in full. The consumer rejected this offer and ultimately requested cancellation of the policy.

    I am not pleased at all with this company. They claim to "not leave you holding the bag." Supposedly having a "network of qualified technicians who are fast and efficient taking the the worry of finding your on technician." Well, those statements are far from the truth. My hot water heater stopped working. I called to file a claim. I was assigned a company one month ago. Yes you read that right, ONE MONTH AGO. A technician came within two days me putting in a claim. I never heard anything else from the company after that first visit until I called the company back two weeks later. The owners voice mail was full so I could not leave a message. After repeatedly calling the owner told me he did not have approval.

    Called Total who told me that the work order had been approved two weeks before. Total called the owner supposedly got it straight. The owner text me assuring me the part would be ordered. Waited another week. No word from them. Called back. Was told that he technician the technician would be at my house the next week. I took off work to be home. They never showed up nor called. Finally, one hour and a half after the supposed time of arrival I called. Was told they were going to try and be at my house within 45 minutes. Two hours later they never showed up and I was never called. I called the next day. I was told thought he could get the part from LOWE'S and come put it in. Guess what? He could not, imagine that. I was told again that the part was ordered.

    Technician came back a week later, had supposedly got the serial number and model number correct during the first time. That was on a Friday. Well on Sunday went to take a shower, NO HOT WATER!! AGAIN NO ONE CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW HE HAD ORDERED THE WRONG PART. I had to call myself. However was told that the technician was at my house early Friday afternoon. Why didn't that technician call the company so the correct part could have been ordered and sent overnight in order for my hot water heater to be fixed on Monday. By the way I was told "Mr. ** said if he had to come personally come and fix it himself (Friday) he would." Well obviously he was not the one who came.

    I called back once again and was told the part was ordered and it should be fixed Monday or Tuesday of the next week. I again called Total and told them the situation. I got the run around for three days. Talking to resolution managers who tried to get that company back. I TOLD THEM REPEATEDLY I DID NOT WANT THAT COMPANY BACK. I was told it was reassigned by each one of the managers only to be told they were overturned. It was suggested more that once that I get my own technician. Why would I do that when that is why I pay Total, to as they say "take the hassle out of finding a technician."

    I finally received an email from Siba informing me that she was my claims representative. The next morning I received a call from the company I did not want to come back saying "the part came in today. We will be at your house in the morning to fix the hot water heater." I called Siba only to to told that Total was unable to find anyone to fix my HWH. I informed her that the original company who I did not want was coming to fix it. She informed me that they had been disapproved a while ago and if they came I would be responsible for the bill. I did not ask them to come so therefore I assumed Total had sent them. She went on and on so I finally disconnected and called back the resolution department and told Shawn what she said. His response was that's not right they are approved.

    I sent her back and email informing her to discuss this issue with Shawn. The original company does in fact come to "fix it." I came home today 9/11, mind you this all started on 8/6, only to walk in my house to smell gas (gas hot water heater) so bad that I got a headache. I immediately called the company back and was told by the secretary that he would have to get approval from the owner about sending someone back in the morning to look at it. I in the meantime called Total back only to get, "What do you want us to do. Call your own service technician if you feel it is an emergency." Otherwise Kevin said he would send it over to see if it would be considered a reorder. Well I did the fire department over to check the carbon monoxide level which was fine so I decided to see what happens over the next hour.

    I happened to look down at the status light only to discover THE HOT WATER HEATER WAS NOT WORKING! THE PILOT LIGHT WAS NOT ON. Which was the problem to begin with. It would not stay lit. I attempted to light the pilot light and it will not stay lit. I call back to Total. Of course they do not have a 24/7 claims line as they advertise. So I call back to the company and beg for them to come and fix it. Only to be told if Mr. ** approves it. I have my daughter and two grandsons ages 2 and 4 that live with. This makes them have to be displayed. My issue remains not resolved!! I would never recommend this company anyone!! PLEASE HELP ME!!

    I have used Total Home Protection about four years back for my home and it was a good experience. The only thing is they increased the premium high at the time and I switched. But I signed up my rental homes with them. For my most recent claim, a tenant called me that the AC is not working. He said it had been happening for a couple of days, but he explained to them right at that time. Then, when he called me, he said he couldn’t bear it anymore and he needed some help. That was when I got involved.

    With the experience I had four years back, the technician was assigned and called and the tech would call me when they could come. But now, the experience is different. I had an earlier experience where the issue was not resolved. There was a bathroom leak in one of the homes and I called two times. After that, I escalated it because the tenant was really worried. It was leaking in the garage and floor was going to fall down. Nothing happened and the contractor didn't come at all. I called my own handyman who fixed it. I just figured it myself because the technician doesn’t call. They're so busy and they don’t respond. It seems it’s the responsibility of the owner to call the technician and get the appointment. Their technician doesn’t have their interest good.

    When I signed up my rental homes, I spoke with one of the managers and I told him that if the service is not good, I would want to cancel and he said it was not a problem. So, I called the manager and said I want to quit and I don’t like the service anymore but nobody responded. The earlier service was very proactive. They were helping me and they were always very good to me. But here, the experience has been very different. I would like to continue, but I want to make sure I know whom to talk to if I escalate.

    The consumer placed a claim for the stove on 4/15/2019 stating that the touch pad was not working. The vendor reported the failure was an intermittent display board. Due to the age of the unit, the component needed for repair is no longer available through the manufacturer. When this happens we send the consumer the cost between parts and labor to put towards the purchase of a new unit. 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 reserve the right to rebuild a part or component, or replace with a rebuilt part or component.

    The consumer then requested to cancel the policy. Please see the referenced section of the cancellation policy below:

They are slow to respond and when you try to cancel and get your money back, they are very slow to react so that they can pro rate your return and then wait another 30 plus days to give back your money. They lie out both sides of their mouth. You cannot get a live person on the line to save your life. Poor service or no service at best. They responded to my earlier review with a very one sided, slanted review. They should do a small internal audit of their business practices. Not one of them would want the same treatment.

    Original review: I purchased a policy with this company and have had a terrible experience. When I filed a claim with my house at 84 degrees inside, they called me back 11 days later. When the repairman called me back ((had already had a legit repair person fix my problem)) he told me that the problem with the unit would not have been covered anyway. Why have a warranty? Then my water heater was not working and they again did not respond other than on their site and no emails or calls. Simply poor customer service. When calling their 800 number it asks if you would like a call back, but they never do that either. Waste of time and money. Their dispute agent Sam was of no use and now that I have tried to cancel this policy since July, they now are refunding $300 lease than What I paid. Total scammers.

    The consumer placed a claim for an air conditioner not cooling on 7/8/2019. Unable to get a vendor with availability we offered her to go through reimbursement, where the customer would contact their own technician to diagnose the failure. Once approved we would send a reimbursement check upon receipt of the invoice. The consumer was advised multiple times to submit the paid receipt for reimbursement and refused.

    The consumer placed a claim for a water heater on 7/29/2019 stating there was no hot water. A vendor was assigned the same day. The consumer contacted us on 9/5/2019 stating they had their own vendor come out to handle the issue. The consumer was advised to submit the receipt for review for reimbursement. We never received a receipt for either claim.

    The consumer requested to cancel the policy on 9/5/2019. As per the terms & conditions of the policy an applicable refund will be given within 15-30 days.

    The most recent claim I had with Total Home Protection was for a garage door opener. The contractor had to come out and readjust it after the first claim that I had, which was six months or so ago. But I had no problem submitting the claim. I called and they took the information down. On the first time I called, I had the garage door and a toilet that was leaking around the base. But I did not like the guy that came out for that very much. He came in and demanded the $45 copay for both things right before he started to work.

    He looked at the toilet and said he had to go get this, this and this. He said he’d come back but he never did. Then although he fixed the garage door, that worked for a while until I had to call in again. I requested a different person to come out. On my last experience with the garage opener, the guy was great. The guy who came to fix the toilet fixed it right away too. He knew what needed to be done and he put the new wax rings in it.

    Previously, I had a home warranty that I was not satisfied with and it was time to renew. I went Total Home Protection and some time thereafter, I had some kind of electrical system issue. Something went screwy in the garage and I lost half the power there. I contacted Total Home and getting their contractor out took a day or two longer than I thought. I had a serious problem operating things in my garage that were off because power was off. That occurred over a weekend and I had to wait 'til Tuesday to get an electrician in. Still, that was okay and the techs did a good job. They replaced the GFI and took care of my problem. Everything has been fine since then.

    I switched to Total Home Protection from American Home Shield to save some money but unfortunately, there is no protection for a lot of the stuff and I'm not happy. When I called for a microwave, they said that it’s not covered. They do not cover peeling. I asked American Home Shield if they cover that and they told me it’s covered, which means they're better on this because that is a lot of money. The sensor on my garage was also not covered by Total Home and I had to hire somebody to do everything at that time and pay from my own pocket. Then, when the faucet was leaking, they called me and said that it was not covered as well.

    Total Home Protection has a lot of the services not covered, wherein I pay 1,000. Every time I come to a supervisor, they would tell me that they would send $100 to make me satisfied, but I have not received that money yet. The damage on the garage cost about $274, and the microwave was over $1,000 and they offered me 150. Then last time, a guy came for my dishwasher. My dishwasher is not fixed yet, and a supervisor told me they would not charge me, but I’ve been charged 54. I was told I’m gonna get a credit instead, but no credit at all is being done. Plus, they’re supposed to email me the policy so I could look at it and cancel or not. I have not received the email yet, and I did not receive the hard copy on my mail.

    There was a time when some part went out in my air conditioning unit. I submitted a claim over the phone to Total Home Protect and it took four days for a contractor to come out. I had to move from home for three days. I was really concerned and a little apprehensive about their contractor because he was just in a normal car. He was sitting out in front of the house and I didn't realize that he was who he was. Also, when I called to set up the appointment, it was really weird. It was like it was business but I wasn't dealing with a business. I expected a company vehicle that was more legitimate so I was a little disappointed with who Total Home referred to me. He was okay and he did the work. Even so, the process took a long time and that's what Total Home said it would take. We have to make a claim and it has to be processed. I'm not sure I'm happy about that.

    I was told prior to submitting a claim that Total Home Protection would do and say anything not to pay a claim. I'm a senior citizen and my home ac quit working. Outside temperature was in excess of 96, and inside the house 93. Submitted a claim on a Monday, did not get assigned to a contractor until Wed. Called to schedule an appointment only to discover that they don't do any work for THP. They reassigned a contractor on Thurs afternoon. On Fri it was diagnosed that I needed a compressor which is a covered item. They declined repair stating I was at fault due to lack of maintenance claiming my condenser coils were dirty. I POWER WASH THE COILS TWICE A YEAR! They said that the contractor told them my coils were dirty. He told me they were fair to good.

    I called the contractor and he denied saying any such thing and would be willing to speak with them. After approx 7 calls, voicemails, being disconnected, a min of a 30 min wait time per call on hold to speak to someone, I was finally able to speak to a supervisor who assured me that they would call the contractor that day to make sure that there was not a miscommunication on their part. Naturally, that did not happen. Due to my age and health reasons, I was forced to pay for the repair. They are still denying my claim stating the pictures they have of my unit clearly shows it was dirty. My unit naturally is exposed to the elements, but the inside coils were not in anyway clogged causing any problem. I have filed complaints with the BBB, Attorney General, and even on your site in hopes of getting reimbursed.

I questioned tech when he arrived asking why it took so long. He mentioned he just received the work order the day before. Their promises for quick response is false. He determined I need a fan motor replacement. This was on August 12th after no response I called Total Home supervisor said tech did not submit report. Hard to believe. On August 20th tech called said he was following up with Total Home asking the status for my repair. Then told him they never received the report. He said he resubmitted the report. I think Total Home is purposely delaying my repair hoping that out of frustration I will contract someone else and pay for the repair myself. They are the worst company. Stay away. All BS.

    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 air conditioner on 7/31/2019 stating the outside unit was not functioning well and on its way out. Pursuant to the policy we assigned a vendor to the claim on 8/2/2019, 48 hours after the claim was placed, and sent an email notification advising of the vendor’s contact name and information. We spoke with the office manager on this same day who acknowledged receipt of the work order and advised they would be in contact with the consumer to schedule an appointment for service.

    The vendor reported that the failure was the condenser fan motor overheated and needed to be replaced. Based on the pictures received of the unit, the condenser is surrounded by thick bushes and shrubs which will restrict airflow and ultimately cause the unit to overheat. This is considered to be a maintenance issue, as there should be 3 feet of clearance from all sides of the condenser. Per our policy, this failure is excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:

    VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

    D. This Agreement covers only repairs and/or replacements due to mechanical failure attributable to ordinary wear and tear. Accordingly, the Agreement does not cover failures which may result from other causes, such as without limitation abuse; misuse and/or neglect; lack of maintenance; rust and/or corrosion; noise without a related mechanical failure; chemical or sedimentary build up; lightning strikes; missing parts; animal, pet and/or pest damage; power failure; power surge; fire; casualty; acts of God; structural and/or property damage; flood; smoke; earthquake; freeze damage; accidents; war; acts of terrorism; nuclear explosion, reaction, radiation or radioactive contamination; insurrection; riots; vandalism; or intentional destruction of property. This Agreement does not cover mechanical failures resulting directly or indirectly from or caused by mold, mildew, mycotoxins, fungus, bacteria, virus, condensation, and/or wet or dry rot regardless of the source, origin, or location and any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any sequence to the mechanical failure.

    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.

    In an effort to provide good customer service, we offered the consumer $150.00 goodwill to help with the non-covered failure to which the consumer declined.

    If I can give 0, I would. Would not recommend. Disaster/No respect, responsibility at all. 1. Had dishwasher problem, KitchenAid brand. Called the company, waited a week to get a vendor`s contact details. Called vendor and waited another week to have someone come and check. Waited another week to get a decision, which was the part that is broken out of stock and they don’t know when it will arrive (might 5-6 months). I am not sure if it’s really valid answer, it's between vendor and Total Home Protection and what they agreed to tell us. We told we cannot wait 5-6 months.

    They offered 250$. Even though based on contract, if they cannot fix it, they had to cover for the same brand, they said can offer only 250$. KitchenAid cost 650$. We’re not happy, agreed to 250$. Check was sent within 4 months. We had to call them at least 5-6 times and wait 30+ minutes to get any answer. So be aware of that, they will never cover the full cost of new purchase and you have to wait long time before you actually get the check.

    2. Had refrigerator problem. They sent vendors contact information within a week after initial call. Called vendor, agreed to time, day. Waited another week for vendor to visit, vendor never showed up, and not answering phone. Called Total Home Protection. Waited another week to have another vendors contact details. Made appointment with next vendor. Waited another week. Person checked and said we have to contact Total Home Protection for the decision. When called THP they said we have to work directly with vendor to see how long it will take to fix. Called vendor. Never answered phone nor returned calls, voice messages. Contacted THP again they said will send another vendors contact details. Can you imagine being without refrigerator through all this time. We were so pissed off. Waited another 3 days, got new vendors information.

    At that point we were so disappointed and tired of keeping food in freezer we bought refrigerator ourselves, but still wanted to fix the other one. We put it into garage. 3rd vendor checked and said to contact THP for decision. When we contacted they said, since it’s in the garage they will not cover it. Even though they had so many issues from the beginning that forced us to buying new refrigerator. Tried to end the contract, here is the big surprise. You will see the real face of the company. We signed up for 3 years, since they offered lower price if we will do that. Monthly price was 37$, we had to pay 3 years in advance. When we expressed our desire to end contract they said they will deduct full price for each month for the period we were with them which 52$ per month. They said we also have to return 250$ that they paid to us for the dishwasher + technician fee that checked refrigerator and dishwasher.

    We paid 45$ for each vendor visit but they said actual price is 180$ so we have to pay for the remaining amount. This is even though we are paying them full price for each covered month, no logic, no shame, no responsibility at all, but that’s their calculation and attitude to clients. They said we also have to pay 150$ for ending contract early and there will be taxes, basically they will return something around 50$ out of 1300$ that we have paid for 3 years. So think twice if you want to work with this rotten company. The customer service, the vendor network and supervisors are all horse ** experience overall.

    We apologize for the confusion as the information submitted on the review is inconsistent with what we have listed in our system.

    The consumer placed a claim for the dishwasher on 10/03/2018 stating that the unit was not coming on. The vendor reported the failure was with the control board not giving any output. When trying to source the parts to complete the repair, it was found the part was no longer available.

    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. We are not liable for replacement of entire systems or appliances due to obsolete, discontinued or unavailability of one or more integral parts. 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.

    Based on this information, the consumer was offered $250.00 to help with the dishwasher which was accepted.

    The consumer then placed a claim for the refrigerator on 5/22/2019 stating the unit is making noise but working properly. Per our policy, noise without a related failure is excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:

    A second claim was then placed on 5/30/2019 for the same refrigerator stating there was a burning smell. The vendor reported that the failure was the evaporator fan motor failed and needed to be replaced. The vendor also reported the unit was located in the garage. Per the policy, as stated above, the refrigerator must be located in the kitchen at the time of service. Refrigerators located in any other location besides the kitchen, with the exception of units under the optional coverage of a second refrigerator, are excluded from coverage.

    My AC broke in April 2019 and I called THP to file a claimed. I had to wait two days for a tech to come out to my home. Two days later the tech came and diagnosed my AC and told me it was covered problem and he need to order some parts. I waited two weeks and did not hear from the tech so I decided to call him and he told me he was still waiting for the parts to come in. I called THP and they called the Tech and he came to my home the next day. The tech did not complete the job and said he needed another part. I had to wait another week. I called THP to see what the hold up was and they said they would call the Tech. I asked to have another tech because it was very uncomfortable and hot in my home. They ignored my request and stated they needed to contact the tech.

    Another two weeks went by before I was given the reimbursement option. I had to pay 100.00 for my tech to come out. THP find a way to stall and not fix the problem by stated they need more pictures and an invoice of the problem which I had already provided. It is now Aug 19 2019 and my AC is not the fix. I am very disappointed with THP and ready to file a lawsuit and file a report with the Better Business Bureau in my hometown. This company does not honor their word and try to find ways to not fix the problem and make all type of excuses.

    The consumer placed a claim for the air conditioner on 07/18/2019 stating the unit was not cooling. The vendor reported that the failure was with a failed control fan motor and capacitor. The vendor replaced the fan motor and the dual capacitor and then discovered the control board needed to be replaced due to being burned out. When the vendor went to order the control board, it was shown to be out of stock.

    The consumer then stated she wanted a second opinion from a different vendor. This vendor advised the control fan motor needed to be replaced. The vendor was advised that we needed pictures of the unit to confirm the condition, as the ones that were submitted were deemed not sufficient.

    The air that was coming out from the duct was not cooling and it was very hot so we called Total Home Protection. We were disappointed with how the process works. They sent out a technician and they put Freon, which did work, but then three weeks later, water started pouring out of the ceiling, and come to find out that there were other issues that needed to be fixed that were not caught by the technician. And after speaking with the technician, he stated that Total Home only approved to have the Freon put in and not have a thorough check of the system. So now, it cost us additional money to have to fix the ceiling and file another claim, and the process is not what we thought it would be. We feel like what we received was not a complete, thorough service from Total Home so we're not very pleased.

    Total Home stated that they would not be able to fix it, that it's something that we had to get in contact with the contractor as far as repairing the ceiling where the water was dripping through. Then the contractor said they don’t cover that, that it's not something that they would be held liable for. So, it was a bunch of going back forth between Total Home and the contractor. We went ahead and hired the contractor to fix the AC repair, which cost $750, which we thought that the reason why we have this coverage is to help as far as the warranty would cover this type of a situation. But Total Home stated no. Their rep didn’t seem very knowledgeable and as if he was reading a script and so we felt that we weren’t getting anywhere. We asked to speak with a supervisor and he basically said the same thing. We did not have a very good experience.

    We signed up with Total Home Protection for their promises. Calling them for claims was easier than doing it online, but their reps weren't very friendly. They were just meh. I filed a claim for our air conditioner and in only about four hours, their contractor came. He got the air conditioner going. But he sold us a lot of extra things that he said were needed and not covered.

    He sold us $2,400 worth of UV lights and some sort of acid loss thing that needed to be done. He came the first time in 4 hours then he said he would have to come back. But we had the warranty company call and call to get him to come back and finish the job. He then came back with the items. He said they wouldn’t be covered, but when we talked to the representative at Total Home, the contractor never even submitted them to see if the items would be covered. We could only file a complaint about this.

    The only reason I gave them more than one star is because they are the least expensive company for monthly and out-of-pocket costs of all the companies I tried. But, they say "you get what you pay for" certainly holds true with this company! When we started having furnace/ac problems, it took them 2 weeks to find a company in our area that was willing to work with them. And then, it took them another 2 weeks to approve the repair. So, we were without a working furnace/ac for more than a month!!! And, I just learned this week that the company that did the work still hasn't been paid after THREE MONTHS!!! That means that the next time we need a furnace repair, there is no one in this area who will come to our aid!!

    After playing phone tag for a day when a duct started dripping condensation down into the return below it. I finally spoke to someone on the phone to be told the claim had been denied because it was not a “mechanical failure.” Clearly something failed because it is not supposed to be dripping over a gallon of water in less than 24 hours. When I pointed that out he said yes but it is not a mechanical failure, in a condescending tone that made me hang up immediately because I don’t tolerate disrespect. Without looking at it they can’t say for sure what failed anyway. Sounds like they knew it would be an expensive fix and chose to deny based on that alone.

    I called Total Home for my refrigerator claim. My warranty had expired by two days so I had to go through the network and make a payment, which I was unhappy that the warranty company one day after warranty wouldn’t service it. But then the contractor was fairly quick and came out a day or two after filing the claim. I was happy with his professionalism and quality of work. He sounded knowledgeable about what he was doing. I had used a different company for a number of years before and they were more expensive than the Total Home Protection that I got when I bought the house, so I thought I’d give Total Home a try to see how it work out and so far, it’s been good.

    I liked Total Home Protection's price. I've done one claim online and the claim process was different and a little confusing. When you’re trying to put in your stuff, it's a little hard to understand. The plumbing in the tub was backed up. And then, the toilet on the second level overflowed. So, I thought they were all connected. So I was trying to navigate all that and I had to talk to Total Home Protection because I couldn’t figure it out. They sent a contractor and he came two and a half days before later. He was fine and he did the repair that same day.

Now I’m being told the repair is not being covered as THP determined it was a pre-existing issue. What’s the point in having a policy if the warranty company is going to claim it was a pre-existing issue after the 30 day wait period has been satisfied?? Mechanical parts can fail without notice.

    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!!

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    By today, Aug, 4 2019 I have not received any information when my full refund will be sent. I am living in Louisiana. Outside temperature is about 100 or more degree. It’s been two and half month, I don’t have air condition. My family member got sick because of the hot and humidity blowing fan. What should I do. Frustration. Helpless.

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.

    To Whom It May Concern:

    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 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. Customer service is horrendous trying to get ahold of. They transfer you all around. After waiting for a long hold time I finally get an agent who promised that the check will be sent.

    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.

When I moved into the house, the air conditioner worked for a month or two, and then it randomly went out one day. It took a while to find the proper phone number to call Total Home Protection, but after that, everything worked smoothly. It was easy interacting with the claims representative. I feel that the professionalism and courteousness were all up to par as they should be. They told me to expect the contractors out within the next two or three days.

    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.

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 refrigerator on 5/18/2019 stating the unit was not cooling properly. The vendor reported the failure was the unit was stuck in the defrost cycle and electronic controls needed to be replaced. The repair was authorized and the vendor completed the repair.

    On 6/14/2019, the consumer called us and stated the unit was not working properly again. We initiated a recall to the vendor to assess the problem again, who advised the issue was with a bad compressor that needed to be replaced. It was then determined that in order to provide a long term solution to future potential problems with the unit, we will offer funds to put towards the purchase of a new unit. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:

    VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

    V. We reserve the right to offer cash back in lieu of repair or replacement in the amount of our actual cost, which at times may be less than retail, to repair or replace any covered system, component or appliance.

    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.

    You have a 28% chance your appliance/air conditioner/water heater etc. will break during the weekend. Are you willing to wait 4-5 days until the Total Home Protection provides help or your pipes are frozen, your basement is flooded or like me, have to suffer near heat exhaustion - or buy a different home warranty that works on the weekends also?

The freezer part was working and the fan that blows down where the other food was wasn’t. When I called, the guy came out pretty fast. In less than 5 minutes, he was like, “Oh, I know what that is. 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.

    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.

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 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.

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.

    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.

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 air conditioner on 6/12/2019 stating the unit was not cooling. The vendor reported the failure was with the main board that failed and needed to be replaced which was approved by our Authorizations department. Because of confusion and conflict with pricing and timelines to complete the repair, we reassigned a new vendor to the claim on 7/5/2019. We have yet to receive a diagnosis from the new vendor to move forward with the claim.

    The consumer also placed a claim for the garage door opener on 5/23/2019 stating that the door was not opening. The vendor reported the failure was that the sensors failed and needed to be replaced. Per our policy, this failure is excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:

    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.

    The consumer placed a claim for the air conditioner on 6/26/2019 stating the unit was not cooling properly. When requesting service, it is advised, as well as stated in the policy that it can take 24-48 hours for a vendor to be secured to the claim as we are not an emergency policy.

    B. Upon request for service under normal circumstances, we will contact an authorized Service Contractor within two (2) days during normal business hours and four (4) days on weekends and holidays after you request service. The authorized Service Contractor will contact you
    to schedule a mutually convenient appointment during normal business hours. We will determine what repairs constitute an emergency and will make reasonable efforts to expedite emergency service. We will accept your request to expedite scheduling of non-emergency

    service only when a Service Contractor is available. If the Service Contractor agrees to expedite scheduling of a non-emergency service request, you may be required to pay an additional fee.

    We assigned a vendor to the claim on 6/28/2019. The vendor came out to the consumer’s home on the same day and reported the failure was with a bad fan motor that needed to be replaced. The claim was approved and authorization was given to the vendor to complete the repair in the same day.

    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.

    Hot water heater was not working. Repair contractor fixed problem after several days "looking for parts" and missed several promised appointments. After a week without hot water, the repair was made, and 2 days later the same problem happened. Called the contractor approved by Total Home Protection on 5 separate occasions, and each time he did not come when promised. He claims that he tried to come, but no one was home to tell the gate that he could come in. My mother, the homeowner is 102 years old and does not go out. Neither she, nor her aide claims to have gotten a call from the gate.

    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 water heater on 6/11/2019 stating there was no hot water coming from it. The vendor reported the failure was the upper and lower thermostats have shorted out and needed to be replaced. The claim was approved and the vendor was given authorization to complete the repair.

    On 6/24/2019, the consumer called and stated the issue was happening again. We placed a recall to the same vendor to come back out and reassess the problem at hand. Due to scheduling conflicts between the consumer and vendor, the consumer decided to secure a vendor using the reimbursement process. The consumer’s vendor reported the failure was the water heater was rotted out and leaking from the tank itself. Per our policy, this failure is excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below:

    The representative was very knowledgeable and helpful. He did an outstanding job. We went over every items in detail and if I had any questions about any particular item he explained it to me. I end up taking the platinum plan over a period of six years. Will it give me more flexibility and peace of mind. I’m going to do some research about my well water with the water company to see if I have a well pump at a later time. I didn’t know about the offer for the roof until the representative explained it to me.

    I filed a claim with Total Home Protection because my oven won’t turn on. The broil will go on, but the oven won’t. Filing a claim with them over the phone was very easy and very nice. The rep I spoke with was okay. They were fine and were quick. Whatever they claim to do, they immediately did. So, they were pleasant and very nice. And the person who came to fix it was just fantastic. He was professional. He exactly knew what to do and what was wrong with it. He ordered it, and as soon as he came back, people called, and it was great. The oven is working fine now.

    I made my first claim with Total Home Protection and that went very smoothly. It was for my dishwasher that wasn't coursing out water. It sounded like it was running but there wasn’t any water being pushed up into the dishwasher, so it wasn’t washing the dishes. I was very pleased with the gentleman who came out. He was knowledgeable and courteous. He pretty much knew what the problem was right away and it didn’t take long for him to fix the dishwasher. I was very pleased with my first transaction.

    New customer with Total Home Protection. I will have no problems as long as my questions were answered truly. I wanted my total home covered including the heat/air unit. Per our conversation unit is covered including freon and any leaks, fan motor, capacitor and such. Tracy was very pleasant to talk with.
