I have used Choice Home Warranty twice this year. 1st time I had refrigerator issues and within an hour of putting in the claim I received a notification that a technician would be here in 2 days. Great!!
2nd time I put a claim in for my air conditioner problem. 12 hours later I got a message from Choice that they hadn’t been able to find a HVAC contractor and if I wanted to use a HVAC company of my choice they would reimburse me. I did and the next day the technician came, he was required by Choice to fill out forms and take pictures. He did and we even called the make sure everything was submitted properly. 31 days later I received a check.

My husband recently passed away and always fixed everything
Now that he is gone I need Choice to do all my repairs needed.
They are reliable and fast. The price is also reasonable. I only pay $97 a month for 2 houses. I originally had a company called everything breaks and they were charging me $95 for one house. They also give you a month free if you give them a referral person which is a nice perk

We purchased our Home Warranty when we bought our new home at the recommendation of our realtor. We are glad we did because it paid off when we had to
make a claim on our dish washer. They found a technician from Sears, and he did a great job fixing the machine. Works great. Glad we made the purchase; we feel better knowing our home is covered.

It was really easy to submit a claim and I felt the company did a good job of keeping me informed. Honestly, I was a little concerned when it was taking so long to find a technician to come out (my AC was out and it was 110 outside). I do like the fact that I was given an opportunity to find my own technician and utilize the reimbursement option, even though I didn't use it. Customer service was great each time I called and you guys never stopped looking for someone to help me! I appreciate it and LOVED the service provided by Liberty Air! Thank you!

I like the fact that ive made a couple claims in the past. And choice warranty has always been fast to get my problem solved. Ive been happy with the service i have gotten. The 75 dollar fee is more than fair. I also signed up for the five year plan. I have to say it is the best all around home warranty i have seen and have. I’m very happy for a multitude of reasons. To date.

Your representative was so helpful and spoke in layman terms making it easy to understand. I was given all the options available to help me make the right choice for our home. We are currently (to be cancelled tomorrow) with a different home warranty service that we’ve had since the year 2000. Throughout the years we’ve had many misgivings and decided enough was enough. I’m so pleased with what James presented to me and knew we were making the right decision to change. Thank you James for your time and helping us with this decision.

The technician was very polite and performed his work very well. However, I am extremely aggravated with Choice Home Warranty due to the fact that what they replaced was only part of the service I expected. When a customer calls in for service to have their garbage disposal unit replaced, one would expect a replacement to be comparable to the one being replaced. That didn't happen!!!
What the technician replaced was the garbage disposal unit LESS the electrical cord. I could not believe my eyes or ears when the service man said I would need to contact CHW and speak to them. I did call CHW and the representative I spoke to advised me that he would need to issue another service request...AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $65 FOR THE SERVICE. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? That electrical cord is part of the unit. Who would ever purchase that unit without an electrical cord??? I am so P----d O-f at your company for pulling that kind of service with me! I would expect that a company, such as yours, would have better integrity then that!

Since joining Choice Home Warranty, I have received nothing but exceptional professional service and customer service. The issue I had was partially repaired and in order to completely repair the issue, Choice had to approve the repairs. Approval through other warranty companies are generally denied when waiting for approval. Choice Home Warranty approved the repairs without an issue and promptly I might add. I am a very satisfied customer of Choice Home Warranty. I have convinced my daughter to become a Choice Home Warranty customer and she too is very pleased with this company.

Effortless Claims Process: The claims process with Choice home warranty is seamless and straightforward. When I encountered an issue with my refrigerator, I simply contacted their customer service team, and they guided me through the entire process. The representatives were knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient in handling my claim. They quickly dispatched a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the problem. I appreciated how Choice Home Warranty took care of everything, minimizing the inconvenience and hassle for me.

I was scheduled for surgery 2 days after air conditioning went out. It was in 90’s every day. Choice went above & beyond and we had AC within 2 days. Past repairs have always been timely as well. And providers exceptional.
We had a different home warranty for many years. Cancelled because once it took 3 weeks for Freon!
So grateful we now have Choice. And my family members have all switched too

I have been with Choice since 2014. I have well satisfied. They have handled my claims in a professional manner.
The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that over the years companies they have sent several times to do repairs have sent technicians who didn’t seem to know how to diagnose the problem/ or fix it, one was with a refrigerator that I finally replaced at my cost because the technician didn’t know how to properly do the repairs and we were without a refrigerator for several weeks.
Next was an a/c problem, the technician said it was old and parts weren’t available, the company after I complained ,sent someone else out and he said it was the fan motor, ordered the part and made the repair. I don’t know how you select your repair companies but it seems there might be a better system in selecting them. Down time to fix a claim can be exhausting to a client.

In southeast Louisiana this time of the year we really rely on our air conditioner systems. It's been daily in the upper 90's. That's not that bad but when you add the humidity the heat index makes it feel like 108 to 110 degrees. I requested a repair on Tuesday 6-13-2023. The technician didn't arrive till the late afternoon of Friday 6-16-2023. That made for a few sleepless nights on the den couch. That air conditioning zone was still working, Then, when the tech arrived the coil was problem. It was dirty and he advised it is not covered. He said Sears could clean it for $500. On my retired fixed income that's going to be difficult to manage. I need to go shopping to find a company that can do it for less.

I've had a few different brands of Home Warranties over the years and Choice is my top pick. I find it a good value, they're a little quicker & more responsive than their competitors. We've submitted claims that have helped us save a LOT of money on repairs to items ranging from Refrigerator to Garage Door. If you're willing to pay your premium up front/annually they'll give you a really great price on it vs. Monthly.
Once a vendor/repair shop is assigned to you the communication is good and clear- you'll always be in the loop via emails and texts on your status.
There are 2 key reasons that I rated them 4 stars instead of 5. A- once you click on even a single ad or promotion, you will be INUNDATED with tons of annoying calls and emails. They called our home line literally EVERY DAY (once we had already renewed). B- when you do call them to sign up, the sales team is very very aggressive in trying to up-sell you for longer term agreements.

He was courteous professional knowledgeable of his profession.
He shared with me what he was looking for testing
The only thing I was upset about he went outside to call in his parts etc but stood outside for over an hour half waiting for pick up from the call in (guess he was on hold) in this horrible heat after waiting outside for over an hour or so (I think it was closer to two) he decided to come in call back later. He said he went out because of some personal information he had to give out he should have stayed inside said something to me I would have gone to another area

I have been a customer for over a year now. I made one claim during that time and it was a very smooth process. The professional that came to my home was prompt, courteous and thorough. I made a claim this morning and I am sure that my experience will be another positive one. Choice Home Warranty offers affordable coverage for all areas of my home. I have and definitely will in the future recommend Choice Home Warranty to my friends and family.

My first claim with C.H.W. I was very pleased with the service. I had MSJ Appliance call me the next day to set up an appointment. They came the next day to fix my Dryer, they didn't have the part and had to order it. MSJ explain to me what had to be done, they took there time to explain what had be done and had to be approved by C.H.W. , witch was approved right away, they said it would take about 5 days to get the part. when the part came in M.S.J called me to set up an appointment, they came the next day. Over all I was satisfied C.H.W. and M.S.J service.

Jonen K called after seeing my search for home warranties online. He was polite, friendly, very informative regarding Choice Home Warranty and what they offered to home owners in regards to coverage. At my age and without first discussing it with my husband I expressed my concerns with making a decision without his input. Jonen assured me that if he was not in agreement we had 30 days to cancel. After doing some searching online I felt comfortable with Choice Home Warranty and believe we made the right choice.

Like the fact home coverage for appliances can be purchased through this company, don’t like the fact that they inspect the repair, get an understanding of costs for parts/labor involved and try telling to customer that “this appliance repair is not part of your appliance warranty or only partial service is covered”, I had a recent plumbing issue and the guy from repair company (external contract company for Choice Home) told me that the repair is not covered part of your appliance protection which is weird given how basic the plumbing issue was and I was told to pay $350, disappointed with how they service overall..

Able to file a claim online day or night. Just submitted a claim at 2 AM.
Don't need to search for someone to do the repairs and get estimates.
Choice Home Warranty finds the repair person for me.
Paid in advance for 6 years of coverage.
A water heater repair before I got the policy nearly cost me as much as my multi-year plan. The cost of filing a claim is very reasonable.

I like the fact that it was easy to enroll with Choice Home Warranty. We have not used their service because our appliances are in good shape, but the enrollment process was quick and simple. What I disliked is that I received email after email after email and phone call after phone call after phone call to enroll. I honestly think that they shouldn’t inundate peoples inboxes. That said, every email came with a deal. I got $125 off and first month free.

The Tech (Tom) from Bennett & Sons knew exactly what the problem was. Just a clogged pipe. Within 15 minutes, after clearing th clog, and checking the freon level, I had A/C. No freon required.
The company (FPS), that you sent out, before this one, was not reliable. The tech (John) said my A/C needed freon, but he wasn't sure it was available, because of the supply chain shortage.

I liked that the process was quick and easy, and the claims specialist was easy to talk to and understand. However, the price that was offered by CHW to reimburse me to replace my oven was extremely low. CHW gives reimbursements in the form of a Lowe's gift card, not cash, but Lowe's does not even have an oven for sale that is cheap enough to be bought with the gift card. I know CHW gives their reimbursements based on their cost, so then the customer should be given their reimbursement in cash so that we can find a cheaper oven from another supplier instead of having to buy from Lowe's at a loss to us.
Also, I think it's unreasonable to wait 2-3 weeks for an electronic gift card to be emailed to me. If it's electronic, I should expect that to be able to happen within 2-3 business days.

The work was done Quickley and efficiently. The technician was able to identify the problem and resolve the issue. We had an issue with the refrigerator repair in Choice was FANTASTIC but they used Sears Home Service and even though we paid the technician at the time of service we are getting bills from Sears. The service order # is 41662336, the Service Unit # is 0008366 and the service date was 7/31/23.

Fortunately, I have only filed one claim since switching to CHW, but I was astounded at how easy it was compared to my previous warranty company. The call-back was speedy, the scheduling was uneventful, and the selected vendor was top-notch. There was not one single hiccup in the entire claim process and I couldn't have been more pleased. I recommend CHW on a regular basis and am happy to do so.

Jeanette and Serrita are thanking Choice Warranty for the compromising offer toward
the purchase of a new washer. Upon the diagnosis of the problem of the washer on hand, it was determined the washer was no longer serviceable. We are very appreciative of the offer made, in that it aided us in keeping within our budget during these times of economical uncertainties. Again, THANK YOU!

Still enjoy doing business with your company - finding it to be longer to get contractors to sign up for work - nice to have an option to find someone to repair certain problems faster by hiring them , but that is a bit unsettling wether they are capable or not - hope you still are keeping
contractors available for the warranty work by keeping the payables close to 30 days - I have heard over time that is an issue -
All is well !!

After understanding the program I was excited to become a Choice Home Warranty customer. As a veteran I was offered additional discounts which I am overjoyed with receiving. I look forward to having a pleasant experience using Choice Home Warranty services if the need arises. Thank you for your assistance in becoming a Choice Home Warranty customer.

I was in the midst of major repairs/renovations from a plumbing problem when my hot water heater began to leak in several areas.
Within several days, the damage was assessed and I had a new water heater installed - no charge to me.
The technicians were professional, efficient and performed their jobs extremely well.
I am so well pleased with the quality of work and satisfied that I am covered by a home warranty

My A/C went out in May. Choice assigned an local area contractor within 49 hours. They even apologized that it took that long. I had the A/C repair approved and repaired within a couple of days. I am impressed with the sense of urgency they demonstrated. It left me with the feeling that they really understood my predicament and the inconvenience of not having cool air during hot weather days.

Had a thermostat issue.
AJ, the H.V.A.C technician was very responsive and worked with me on getting a new thermostat.
I was in the HVAC industry for 22 years.
I knew what specialized thermostat I needed and worked with AJ to facilitate getting it.
AJ installed the thermostat in a timely fashion.
He communicated well and arrived when he said he would.
He was respectful and left me his cell number if I had any additional questions or needs.

I have found Choice to be OK. I have put claims in 4 or 5 times over the years and 2 or 3 times the work was either fully or partially covered. (READ the small print). Look, I understand they need to make $. I understand that and I am fine with the small print restrictions. The MAJOR reasons I will continue to use them are: #1. They are fairly responsive and #2. MOST IMPORTANT TO ME - They send qualified technicians. For me, just getting a qualified person to show up is worth the cost of the coverage even if I have to pay out of pocket for some or all of the repair. The one thing I do not like...after the service techs do their assessment, some of them will NOT wait for the approval. They want to reschedule.

Setting up appts is most efficient. The techs come in do what is needed to resolve the issue. Then, a couple of months later the same problem starts all over again. I'm becoming rather hesitant to call because the initial fees add up and the issue isn't resolved. So far, I've paid over $5k to have problems taken care of. The toilet that was leaking last your that the tech 'repaired' is leaking in the same area again. there's still a pipe leak somewhere in the wall that keeps the carpet in my closet damp. I have to keep a dehumidifier running in the closet to absorb the dampness in the carpet. When I called CHW and reported this issue, the tech replaced the shower head as opposed to listening to me, and checking for the real problem. Small issues are resolved, then come right back. The a/c unit end up costing me $3,500, out of pocket fees, The water tank cost me $2,290. The washing machine cost me $455, after CHW's reimbursement. I am still having the issue with the light in the kitchen because the tech did what he thought was wrong and again did not listen to me. The ballast component is faulty and was not repaired by the tech as I told him.
As far as your rates are concerned, they pretty much on par with ever one else. And, as far as recommending my friend or family, the tell me to find another HWS. I've had three years to observe, and rate you.

I recently had to have my dishwasher worked on. The process was painless. Choice contacted the repair company and they reached out immediately. A part had to be ordered and the repair company kept me updated and quickly came back out to install the part as soon as it came in. I have had Choice for 7 years now and won’t even check out flyers that the competition sends. Having this warranty gives me such peace of mind.

Hello Choice Home Warranty,
As a follow-up to our plumbing repairs, to save the company money, we repaired the interior sheetrock / drywall ourselves. When we found out that the drywall company was only going to tape the sheetrock cutout that the plumbers made, we made a choice not to have a second company come to our house.
Thank you, anyway for having the drywall company call us.

Terrible information and wrong interpretation of the contract from the customer service representatives and their supervisor, "Donniel." Always trying to milk customers into paying additional service fee, even when the initial issue hasn't been fixed, within 24hrs and refusing to provide an address/contact information for customers to lodge complaints.
Perhaps, training is needed in that department and, or referral to your legal department before these representatives gives out incorrect information to customers.
However, the technician and work performed were excellent.

Called regarding our washer and customer service had someone out very next day.
A couple weeks later the refrigerator and they sent someone out same day.
I would highly recommend Choice Home Warranty. Have dealt with other home warranty companies that did not deliver as per contract hence the reason we fired them and went with Choice Home Warranty after researching and reading what George Foreman said about them. It's true, you get what you pay for! These guys are awesome!!

(The last guy in 2020 was nondescript all the way), he was courteous and knowledgeable. He had to come back the next day because he didn't have the part on his truck. He did and he repaired the issue with our furnace. We now have heat in the house again.... we thank you Choice Home Warranty and we thank Southern Aircare LLC

I liked that CHW paid for replacement of my broken garbage disposal, as promised. I paid the service fee and everything else was covered without me having to mail in papers , etc. The company they sent was very good. My only complaint is that it took over 40 hours for CHW to contact a plumber. I contacted CHW about the issue on the morning of 3/23/23. (Thurs) I received an email from CHW very late Friday night that they had scheduled a plumber for the following Tues. Had they contacted a plumber sooner, I may not have had to wait so long. I live close to Columbus, OH so there is not a shortage of plumbers.

I have to give a "4" star rating due to my recent experience (04-11). Claim processed on line, appointment scheduled for 4-8, no call/no show. Called in on 04-08 rescheduled by repair company for 4-11 Winston Doors.
Representative- Kenneth showed up said motor had burned out, needed to be replaced, that he would contact Choice to explain, and collected the $65.00 via CC, would not accept any personal checks. He told us he would replace the "Lift Master" for $700.00 and rollers for $100.00. He made us think this was okayed by Choice.
He also said he would have to order part and scheduled for 4-18.
I received a text and call to schedule installation on 4-14 which really surprised us, but agreed on date and time.
Kenneth, installed garage opener and rollers then my husband paid him via CC.
Approximately, an hour later my son came over to look over the installation, he questioned the make of opener since we were told it was to be a "Lift Master".
The opener was not that make because Kenneth did leave the box of the garage opener along with the old garage opener.
He contacted "Lift Master" was told with the unit installed it was not the same product/ nor the same quality. They also stated we had been overcharged by $400 for the unit that was to be replaced. Also, said the "t" bar should had been replaced with the HP that had been replaced.
We attempted to contact Winston Doors, no answer, text no response. I contacted your customer service dept, immediately as well. Your representative attempted to contact Winston Doors could not get an answer or leave message as well.
Your rep said we should receive a call in 24 to 48 hours due to our complaint, to present date 04-18 @ 12 am no call from anyone at CHOICE . Your company are responsible for sending this company over to service our issue, your company is responsible for any work done to repair / replace.
This company took advantage of us, we are senior's we took the repairman at his word, since you sent him over. This is why we choose a company like yours, to help us seek out honest repair companies.
We are out over $900 which is the opener/$65.00 your service fee
All previous claims we had have, we have had no issues with payment or service.
We pay your firm on a yearly basis, this is how much we have trust in your company

My overall first experience went very smoothly and we were very pleased with the prompt response and repair of our washing machine. However we have run into an issue with Sears who did the repair. At the time of the first service call, we paid the $75. Fee and received a receipt. We continue to be billed for the $75 and have sent a copy of the receipt. There is no way to reach the billing company other than by E-mail and they do not respond

The contractors to fix the plumbing are great. We thought we had it fixed, but unfortunately, there was more to the problem. I called in a "recall ticket" to CHW. The agent on the phone did an excellent job getting the information and sending it out to the contractors who will come and finish the job now that the FULL problem has been realized. This is my first experience with Choice. I had another company for years -- probably the biggest one. I had to drop them because their service went downhill and they were unresponsive to an issue that wasn't fixed, yet still took my money.

Company technician that CHW sent to fix my dryer was excellent and completely knowledgeable about my dryer! He was fast and knew exactly how to fix my dryer. Very professional and fast! I will recommend Choice Home Warranty always because they were also fast in response to my dryer problem and dispatched a repair company quickly as well as keeping me informed on their selection! Outstanding professional communications!

My conversation with Phil was straightforward and to the point. He answered all the questions that I had succinctly.
I did not receive the run around as to whether I was a realtor or just a homeowner selling my property.
He'll let me know what the cost of the product was and what it covered and how to transfer the policy to the new owners.
So far it's the best customer service I've received in the home warranty business.

The tactician was awesome. He fixed two of the 3 items the dryer the refrigerator, but the washing machine had to be denied , I am waiting for the approval of my appeal. , He was very polite. Thorough did a good job, but I was disappointed with the decision to not replace my washing machine and that had nothing to do with the technician. Once again, he was the best. I’m looking forward to having him service my appliances again.

I think that Choice does a pretty good job with its customers. I do feel that they should make sure that the contractors they use are honest and not trying to get over on people. I've had a situation with the AC technician a few years ago that tried to scam me. I also had a situation with another AC technician last year that replaced my fan to my outside unit, but he only replaced the motor and then he put my older fan onto the new motor which caused a problem later where I had to replace the unit again because the old fan broke. I did nor report this to Choice because I felt that I would have to pay another service fee for the same issue. I am having a hard time trusting any of Choice AC contractors.

Pros: By far the most economical and cost effective home warranty plan. Signed up with 2 more home owners for 5 years and got an additional year of coverage as bonus. But what you pay is what you get. Choice Home Warranty will only repair or offer to buy out the appliance for a fraction of the cost to buy a new replacement. So if your appliances and systems have repairable problems and don't need replacement, you save a ton compared to AHS and other home warranties. Savings that you can use to buy a new replacement and still come out slightly ahead.
Submit claims on the website and the service ticket is dispatched to the repair companies.
The repair companies have generally been good but there were certainly some bad ones that just came to collect the service call fee and not do anything. Reported the bad ones to Choice Home Warranty and they assigned another repair company without having to pay the service call fee again.
The new plan which starts next year got rid of the frustrating exclusions that they had.
Cons: The old plan that I am currently on has exclusions which can make the warranty useless such when HVAC system stopped cooling. Choice Home Warranty refused to cover the repairs and replacement stating it is probably caused by corrosion or leak. 0 coverage.
Choice Home Warranty does not let customers call the repair companies directly. The service ticket has to come be dispatched through Choice Home Warranty website.
Repairs are done when a repair company is available. There is no priority, no emergency. For instance the water heater stopped working in peak winter. Going through Choice Home Warranty, it took a week for a repair company to schedule a visit. Meanwhile a local plumber repaired the problem within 24 hours.
