Garbage disposal went out. Called the Home warranty and they had an appointment set within a couple of hours. Nick, the plumber came out the next day (on time) and had my problem fixed within an hour. Great service!! Thanks for no hassle.......

I did end up purchasing the Choice Home Warramty. Seemed like the best option and at a great price. Reason for 3 stars? An EXTREMELY pushy, borderline rude salesman. I hadn't even filled out the form all the way when my phone rang. Strike one. That ALWAYS irritates me. Give me a second to get through your questionnaire and look at my options before bombarding me with calls. Then once I was on the phone, I talked to the guy for a bit and then explained that I had to get off the phone as I was literally walking into a meeting. We were done with the transaction. He proceeds to not only interrupt me but continue talking after once, twice, three times of me saying "I have to go!". I finally pretty much hung up on him. We were done. I told him I wasnt interested in an upgrade. No I dont need to repeat the new policy number back to you, you just emailed it to me. Jeez, back off dude!

I just recently used Choice for the first time and filed 2 different claims. Both claims were answered quickly and a repairman was sent out with 1 or 2 days for entering the claim. On both occasions the repairmen were efficient and professional.

I was actually persuaded to sign up for a 5 yr. + 1 free year plan, which would have cost about half as much each year as a one-year plan. Full payment up-front was required, but it was to be refundable if I should chose to leave in 1,2, 3, etc. years. I was purchasing three policies. This sounded like a good deal, even though it was a big cost up-front, which I put on my credit card. However, the agent then did not reply to questions which I had asked him, even though I told him that I had to have those answers quickly. I then started checking around (your site may have been one place where I found some answers, but another was even better) and found a LOT of complaints about Choice which were a concern to me .... particularly statements from some about the actual value of the multi-year policies. It seems that he was misleading me there because those complaints stated that the refunds if one left in 2 or 3 years would be definitely not as expected ... that there would be no refunds at all after something like 3 years because Choice would charge the full yearly price for years used. That, and the fact that the agent completely dropped communication and did not answer my questions (and many complaints that Choice was very difficult to get answers from), caused me to cancel those three policies and request a refund in full (which did happen ... if not, I would have protested to my credit card company, and had evidence to support my claim.

First time I used them for our garbage disposal a technician can out and looked at it He said it needed replacing we gave him the $45.00 fee he left saying he will be back next day. Well he never came back I called Choise daily for 9days no one could contact this fellow Finally Choise sent out another company the Tecnhnician arrived promptly put in a new garage disposal and I didn’t have to pay another $45. So all in all at the end of the day I’m very happy with Choice. Only wished it did not take 9 days.

I have had good value from this company. The companies they sent to my home have been very polite and hard working. I have difficulty only when trying to schedule with one of their phone operators. Sometimes a situation is not a yes/no answer, if you know what I mean. Perhaps to avoid this in the future, I will just schedule online. I do believe Choice to be one of the best companies for home warranties.

First let me say that Tory T Plumber was courteous and did a fine job for me. I am completely satisfied with his service. Not so much Choice Home Warranty. First, after Mr. P's evaluation of my disposal unit leak and his determination that a replacement was required, it took more than an hour after he asked CHW for authority to purchase a new unit to install for me for CHW to provide such authorization - while he and I waited. More importantly, before the service call I asked CHW customer service for reviews of the technician as none were available online. I was told first that the only information CHW had on the technician is that he was "certified". When I asked "certified" by whom and for what, the agent was unable to give me any further explanation. His supervisor changed "certified" to "licensed and insured" - about the same information that I could have gotten about any plumber from the Yellow Pages. He had no further information to offer about the technician's skills, character, legal record or performance reviews. I asked about reviews from other CHW customers. The supervisor could only tell me that he had no record of any complaints. He also said that he had no record of any favorable reviews despite the fact that he told me that a survey (like this one) is sent after each call. I asked if survey results are noted on CHW's records for the technician or not. Since the survey makes no reference to the specific technician, apparently the answer is "NO". This survey is administered by a firm named Best Company which presumably has record of other surveys of this technician. However, neither the customer service agent nor his supervisor referred me to Best Company to answer my questions. All this leads me to conclude that CHW sends technicians into the homes of we customers with only the barest evaluation of their skills, character and reviews of their performance. I seem to have lucked out; others might not be so fortunate. For the almost $2,000 I paid to CHW, I expected them to do better than that in this regard!

Choice Warranty was responsive and fast. electrician was congenial, efficient and educational about what was the problem. Only concern was the company on site Rental Home Solutions wanted me to pay my co-pay over the phone before they even arrived at my home! I declined and they waited until he arrived. Woman on phone was pleasant but pressures going me to pay before he even arrived. Not acceptable to pay for a service and you don’t even know they will show up.

I’d like to rate choice a 5, the only thing holding me back is that when they told me who my service provider was they also said they would be there between 11 and 3. Then when the provider called me they said they would be there between 9 and 12. This caused some confusion but I got it squared away right away. Choice was very quick to put in my request, followed up with emails and I like the ability to track my claim. They were also very quick to offer me replacement value for my appliance. This was a great experience.

Most company staff/customer support are courteous. There was an issue that we could not resolve. One other separate concern was a claim on a limited roof leak that the repair company Choice used did not show for the appointment nor contacted me. Choice did not follow up either after I made a couple of calls regarding this. I cancelled the claim for the possible roof leak as the the issue did not appear again and being no follow-up from Choice nor the repair company. If this did turn out to be a serious issue, it would have been concerning to say the least. Choice explained that they’d look into this issue further, but I did not receive any further information on it, even after calling about another claim 4 months later and discussing.

I was very impressed with my Representative from Choice Home Warranty. He took the needed time to go through coverages available to come up with the plan that fit my needs then worked with me to make sure I received all discounts available. I hope I never need this plan but am very happy that I now have it in place.

When I placed my request, I received an e-mail telling me that there were looking for someone in my area and that I could find my own repair person and they would reimburse me. I was not happy about this, however, it was an option. To have to look for someone would take time away from other things I needed to do. Fortunately before I started researching names, I received a call and they had found someone to repair what I need and he came right away. I was pleased about that and got what I needed fixed.

Haugstad HVAC serviced our heating system on 1/12/19. The unit had stopped providing heat and the house temp was down to 59 degrees. They identified the problem but didn't have the required part to fix it. However, they got the unit running and as we await their return with the part we still have heat.

I purchased a home warranty from Choice and my air conditioner went down they wouldn’t cover it because they said it was due to the storm, well I have two air conditioners the other works fine. They never get someone out in a timely fashion and they never keep their word. The tech was supposed to come in the morning and shows up 8 in the evening and next day he didn’t even put in a work order for my washer machine. After my contract is up I’m done. I rather pay more than to give away free money.

7 Jan 18: Choice Home Warranty has responded to this posting. They have offered and I have accepted a revised settlement. Buyer beware, full replacement of repairable covered items either because they are not economically repairable vs. replace or are mechanically repairable is not necessary the end result. Older appliances have significant limitations for receiving replacement value. Beware. 31 Dec 18: Choice Home Warranty (CHW) appears to be somewhat of a scam. First the good points….. Choice Home Warranty responds very well and promptly to service calls. Additionally,. The service technicians are prompt, courteous and have the technical expertise needed to fairly assess the situation. They also promptly report the results to CHW and CHW responds rapidly, usually within 24 working hours. Now for the disappointments…. This service call resulted in CHW determining a replacement of my electric range was less expensive than the repair. Initially I received an email offer for a $349 cash settlement that was less than half of what a equivalent replacement item would cost. I declined the cash settlement then the real frustration started. I soon received a call from the CHW representative assigned to this claim and she immediately said that all that they can offer only offer the initial low settlement which I previously refused and pushed me to settle for that using claims and quoting the contract and also stating that CHW does not actually arrange to replace the item and that the offered amount was what CHW would pay for the like replacement because CHW does not buy retail as I would have to. She also said that the unit was 20 years old (it was actually about 15 years old) and was insinuating that the replacement should be pegged to the value of the item back over 15 years ago. So, I said that, if HCW can do better on the price for an equivalent replacement please do so and arrange for delivery and installation. She refused to do this again stating CHW doesn’t actually replace the item, that the consumer has to do so. Thus, I pressed for a better settlement telling her that, if it was required that I replace the item, I would have to buy retail and CHW policy provides for an equivalent replacement and it costs double the offered cash. She kept going over the same comments refusing to address the actual replacement of the item and its actual replacement costs. She frustrated me greatly and I was becoming angry…I told her so and asked to speak to her supervisor. She said there were no supervisors. I asked to speak the Vice President in charge of her section and she seemed to ignore this request. She then cut me off and said that she could only go up to $589. I thought it over and given the frustrating 15 minutes with her I accepted. She placed me on hold for about 5 minutes and came back telling me the money would be sent in about 30 days. I asked for this in writing and she refused say the conversation was recorded. I tried to insist having this $589 settlement in righting and this was entirely to no avail and I thanked her and hung up. Even with this offer I will be out of pocket around $200. What kind of games is CHW playing and what kind of replacement coverage is this and why such poor customer service???

The last 3 uses of your service has been screwed up completely. 1. Appointment advised was not made . Technicians ndate a day later. 2. Other technician did not accept the order, did not show up as we were advised and you never called nor did they. Did not know of this until I was able to run down technician. 3. SEnt repair people for repair and advised no coverage on this nitm after his arrival. You were advised three times, by me, the exact service required but sent them anyway and created a longer wait for repair by others problem. Never once told me it was not covered after you agreed to make the appointment for specific repair requested.
