I had mixed experiences with the plumbing service. They were responsive to my request, but I was disappointed when they didn't cover an internal repiping issue. However, they did a great job replacing a leaking faucet. Overall, their responsiveness is commendable, but coverage on plumbing issues could be improved.

I had a great experience with the service. They were prompt and resolved my air conditioning issue quickly after I submitted a claim. I've used them multiple times and have always received reliable service. Highly recommend!

I found communication challenging due to language barriers, which led to some confusion with my plumbing issues. While one problem was resolved, I still have another that remains unfixed. I had to clarify details to the plumber, and it was my first experience using the warranty service. Overall, it was a frustrating process.

The service was slow during a holiday emergency, taking weeks to respond, which was disappointing. I ended up fixing the issue myself. While I've used their services frequently, the technicians' performance was lacking. Overall, I would rate my experience as average.

I found communication with support challenging as English isn't my first language. While my air conditioner was repaired quickly, I faced difficulties with plumbing issues due to miscommunication. One issue was resolved, but I still have another that remains unaddressed. I hope future interactions are clearer.

I had a frustrating experience with the service. My wife was misinformed about our options, leaving her upset. Additionally, when our dishwasher broke, we were forced to wait for a distant service provider instead of being able to choose someone local.

I've had frustrating experiences with service appointments. It often takes too long to get set up, and I've had to wait days for urgent issues like a freezer problem. While there was a quicker response for a leak, overall communication and timeliness need improvement. I hope they can enhance their service efficiency.

I had a mixed experience with the service. Initially, it was hard to reach someone, which was frustrating. However, the repair for my hot water heater went smoothly. I also had an issue with my ice machine; while online scheduling was quick, the wait for service was longer than expected, but they were able to come out the same day.

Choice home warranty has been quick to respond to any claims I have filed. However, getting the part to fix my dishwasher has now taken well over a month. And I have no indication of when my dishwasher will be fixed.

I generally have to find my own contractor. Choice then is not willing to pay contractors outside their network what they charge to do the work. This creates a problem when it is a contractor I know because th contractor will get shorted or I have to eat the difference by paying them myself. If Choice cannot provide the service at least pay for the contractors who do. I have had a home warranty for 14 years and the almost 3 years I’ve been with Choice, it has not been a good experience

The last request for service was scheduled to fix my washing machine. The technician arrived and told me the machine needed a sensor and he would return Friday to repair the problem. He has never returned and no contact. I paid the service fee the initial visit. That was August 28, 2024. Today is September 19th. I need help!

It’s becoming really frustrating to open a claim, have a tech come out and then they don’t respond for follow up. I opened a claim for someone to come out and look at my washing machine. He told me I needed a new control panel and he would let me know once it came in for installation. Months went by and I didn’t hear from him. I opened a new ticket and this tech is telling me the same thing. He ordered the part and would let me know once it came in. It’s been at least 3 weeks and I haven’t heard from him. I texted and no response. It would be nice if these people were vetted better. I didn’t pay thousands of dollars for this service (only to still pay a service fee) for folks to not respond to me. At this point it feels like wasted money on both ends.

I've had the misfortune of dealing with Home Choice Warranty for the past few years, and their service has been an absolute nightmare. Every time I've needed to file a claim for a major repair, they've found a way to wiggle out of covering it. Their go-to phrase is "not normal wear and tear," which apparently applies to everything, including AC unit failures. It's as if they expect homeowners to magically predict and prevent every possible issue. But what's even more alarming is their subcontracting process. They hire subcontractors, who then subcontract to other companies, creating a layered mess of accountability. This leads to: •⁠ ⁠Delays upon delays •⁠ ⁠Poor communication •⁠ ⁠Lack of transparency •⁠ ⁠Subpar work quality •⁠ ⁠Finger-pointing between contractors When I've tried to address issues, Home Choice Warranty shrugs it off, claiming they're not responsible for their subcontractors' actions. Unbelievable! The customer service reps are unhelpful and dismissive, constantly questioning the smallest details and delaying resolutions. It's clear their primary goal is to deny claims and save money, not provide actual warranty protection. I've had enough. As soon as my contract allows (within the next 2 months), I'll be canceling my policy and switching to a reputable insurance company that actually cares about its customers. Warning to others: don't make the same mistake I did. Research thoroughly and choose a home warranty provider that prioritizes customer satisfaction and timely resolutions. Specific Issues: •⁠ ⁠Denied AC unit replacement due to "pre-existing condition" (despite passing inspection) •⁠ ⁠Constant delays and unreturned calls •⁠ ⁠Unhelpful customer service reps •⁠ ⁠Overly restrictive "normal wear and tear" policy •⁠ ⁠Subcontracting nightmare •⁠ ⁠Lack of accountability

They are horrible! The 3 different issues we had took forever to resolve. The garage door opener took a month and we ended up paying for a new one ourselves as the tech said that it needed to be replaced not fixed that the CHW paid a small amount for. The non-working Air conditioning took over a month to resolve (with 90° -100° temps outside and close to 90° inside) - one diagnostic appointment, then two no-shows, then finally got fixed by another company. The bathroom exhaust fan that wasn’t working (a $370 unit with heat for a large bathroom) was replaced with a $21 fan (retail price). You can not talk to a live person, they ask you to leave a phone number for callback but they NEVER call back. The only communication is through messaging on their website. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

I had a frustrating experience with this company. They denied my washing machine claim initially, only covering a fraction of its value after an appeal. I had to threaten legal action for my garage door. While my AC repair went smoothly, the refrigerator repair took too long and was poorly handled. Overall, their customer support is lacking, and I wouldn't recommend them.

Worst experience with any company I have ever dealt with in all my 84 years. Your company has made and missed 6 appointments. The 1 call where the service man Randy showed up and ordered the parts needed to make the repair on 08/19 to be shipped to my home arrived 09/04. Called 4 more times for an appointment again missed all of them. Today 09/11/24 my appointment between 9 and 12 AM was again MISSED ! No call no service. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET CHOICE TO HONOR YOUR CONTRACT? THIS IS BEYOND BAD I THINK IT IS CRIMINAL. I RATED CHOICE 1 STAR BECAUSE IF I GAVE YOU ZERO STARS YOU MAY THINK I MISSED THIS PART> CHOICE IS WORTH ZERO STARS.

Choice home warranty It was not good. I had an emergency and they would not come out on Thursday as I requested. I explained my AC was leaking and I etiei g the drip pan. I explained to Brian, the owner of the AC company I was referred to that I was going out of town early Friday morning and returning until Sept 24. I explained that I am 75 and live alone. He said his schedule was full and couldn't come until Friday. He asked if had a neighbor who would let them in. I do not. I found a friend who would fit while they came but he never gave me a time. I asked twice. I had no choice but to call a company. The cleaned the unit and repaired the cause of the leak. They charged me $500 00. I am asking that Choice Home Warranty reimburse me as their contractor refused to help me in my time of need in a timely fashion that would address the emergency.

February 2024 we made a claim for our icemakers Not working properly. Joyce home warranty sent Sears A&E Service to handle the claim. They diagnosed that both icemakers need to be replaced and the gasket in the freezer needed to be replaced. Choice home warranty, authorized one icemaker to be fixed. They didn’t authorize a gasket to be replaced or the second icemaker. 14 different appointments with Sears A&E and icemaker still was not fixed. We ended up making another claim for the other icemaker and Choice home warranty sent out a general electric service advisor. He determined that our board in the refrigerator was broken and the icemaker was not not working. The technician advised that it would cost more to fix the refrigerator than to buy a new one. I recontacted choice home warranty and their Third World country operator advised me that they had to send out another technician. I contacted the Better Business Bureau and advise them of the disgrace over six months of going through this. Finally in the middle of August after I contacted the Better Business Bureau home warranty finally decided to offer us money to close out the case. We lost thousands of dollars of food from a not keeping it Cold. I would never use choice home warranty again after this rigmarole. Don’t waste your money

I don’t like the way things that I have an issue with need to be “approved” AFTER the service tech is in my home and I’ve already paid the service fee. If the service is not approved I’m still required to pay the service fee. This was never an issue with my last home warranty company. I’ve also been informed Choice almost never approves anything electrical so why do they even pretend to offer electrical coverage.

No communication with company after passing us on to Sears, the Sears told us the part was ordered by Choice. We have been waiting since middle of June to get our ac repaired, and when I was finally was able to get thru to Choice, I was told the claim had been cancelled--too much time had passed! Still working on it though, and hopefully by the first snow we will have a functioning ac.

My hvac went out in the middle of June one month into my home warranty. First they sent an hvac repair man that couldn’t speak any English, submitted testing results they requested to evaluate the claim for repair, submitted them incorrectly, and took one week to return to the home to resubmit the test results and did it incorrectly again. After 3 weeks of back and forth on the phone and through their reporting system, I was granted permission to get my own repair guy out. After submitting the documentation they requested, they told me my claim was in process. We are now 6 weeks into the process and they still haven’t approved my claim and have now shut down my claim. This is the worst experience I have had with any company.

My refrigerator started failing in February. In March I filed a claim with Choice. First Technician said it needed a new compressor and it was approved. I waited 2 weeks, no follow up. I called technician he said he was waiting for part and would install in a week. 2 more weeks, no contact. I had to call Choice 5 times to get them to send another tech company. Then next one didn't know how to work on. The third one said it needed a new compressor. Since the refrigerator was still barely cooling and running constantly, Choice closed the claim without telling me. They then made me pay another $75 to start a new claim. This time, GE repair was sent out and said it needed multiple parts. As per procedure, they would get authorization from Choice, which they received and ordered the parts. One part was on back order, so I started the waiting game again, GE kept pushing the part arrival date back from August, then September, now October. They sent a message to Choice that maybe I just should be cashed out to get a new unit. I never heard from Choice so I contacted them after a week. They told me that they never heard from me or their GE repair technician, so they closed that second claim out. This at best is harassment bordering on fraud.

CHW is the wurst at following up after Technician visit. My Air condition unit has bee out since 8/24/24 Tech made it out on Tuesday 8/27/24 and said there is a Freon leak in the line and I have to replace the entire unit. He never tried to find the leak. I called CHW and have yet to receive a call back. They tell you if you don’t leave a call back number the call will disconnect. This is crazy. It is very hot in TX and I need some answers sooner than later

Didn't like the fact that the first offer was low, it was changed when I called though. I didn't like that the funds are in the form of a Lowe's gift card and having to wait 30 days to get it. In the mean time I had to go buy a new dryer now I'll have a Lowe's gift to try and spend. If there is that kind of wait wait 30 days a Visa or Master Card gift card would be the better choice.

This was my first claim filed with Choice Home Warrenty and if I knew how slow and unresponsive this company would be I would never have purchased my warrenty with them. I submitted a claim for my fridge on July 1st and they claimed for over a week that they could not get a contractor in to see the unit. I called on July 8th and had someone come out that day. My fridge was deemed irreperable so I submitted photos and documentation from the contractor recommending a new unit be purchased. I was told I would receive a gift card from Lowe's to cover the cost of a replacement unit. The exact same fridge that had broken cost $100 more at Lowe's than the amount of the gift card and it was currently on sale due to Independence Day. I was not trying to upgrade or get anything more than what was under warranty and I had to pay out of pocket for that. I was also told that I would receive my gift card in the next 30 days. It was impossible to wait until I receive the gift card to buy a new fridge since I had already been without one for over a week. So now I have a unused Lowe's gift card and a credit card bill of almost $600. Too bad I'm stuck with Choice for another 5 eyars

Made two claims and would get an automatic appointment for the service but within an hour the appointment date and time would change. For one of my claims a guy came out and barely did anything to our AC unit and let us know he needed to get paid beforehand then told us we needed to call an electrician for that. Then we reached out for an electrician and noticed that the appointment that was made was not going to work out for us since we both work. I called and asked if he had any other day with a later time and the guy just blatantly said “no I don’t know what to tell you.” Didn’t even offer to find another day for us. I canceled that appointment and then called to schedule another company and within the hour I had three appointments made then canceled, rescheduled and canceled again.

i would give zero and never recommend . bought their warranty . It happened that i claim pressure valve of heater water replacement , they sent me checking guys and paid $75 and and the company asked repair cost . i asked them what they mean repair cost, they said go fix yourself and send us the cost and then reimburse you , weird - right ! , anyways I called my area company to fix it and sent them the receipt. and they replied since you already paid we do not cover it . I called customer service and transferred to so called manager , said since you buy the house recently we do not cover it . I explained the house and the pressure valave was working fine and now needs repair and showed the inspection done after i bought the house , he said we do not reimburse you, really , why then i bought you warranty. I just hung the phone , do not let them make my day feel headache. never never recommend them, scam-

**Review for Choice Home Warranty:** I am extremely disappointed with Choice Home Warranty. They are just like all other home warranty companies that place the burden of scheduling with the contractors on the customer. While they may facilitate the initial connections, they do nothing to ensure timelines are adhered to or that work is completed promptly. I've had an open problem ticket for almost two months now, and Choice Home Warranty has done absolutely nothing to resolve it. Every time I call them, I receive the same unhelpful response: "We thought you were okay with the timeline because you said nothing." This is unacceptable and highly frustrating. The lack of proactive customer service and follow-through on their part is unbelievable. I would not recommend Choice Home Warranty to anyone looking for reliable and efficient service.

My refrigerator/freeer quit working on July 17. You sent a technician out on the 20th and he said the appliance was not able to be fixed. He sent in his report and I never heard a word back from anybody. I asked the technician to send it again, which he did. Still nothing. I tried calling CHW SEVERAL times but I got recordings telling me to leave my phone number and some one will call me back. They never did. I finally got in touch with a representative that was involved in my last claim and she told me they didn’t receive a “diagnosis “ so she reinstated my claim and is sending out another technician! I have been without a refrigerator and freezer for 20 days.i am not happy with CHW at all. If it was a couple hundred dollars, I would handle it myself but a new refrigerator is too expensive That’s why I bought a home warranty which apparently is useless. Never again! Very poor customer service. Nobody ever contacted me that there was a problem with the service technicians report. I think they hope you’ll get discouraged enough and will just go away. I would not recommend CHW for a home warranty.
