As it turned out it was a Lowes (6-7 years ago) poor installation that was causing the latch problem and I must adapt. The tech seemed plenty knowledgable, but was also a bit smug about it.

I dislike in the beginning that it takes a long time to Choice to respond to the different companies but at the same time, I liked because Choice Home Warranty chosed the best one.

I appreciated the prompt response I received to my repair problem. The repairman arrived when he said he would and took time explaining the problem and answered all my questions.

You are sending me a Lowes E-Gift card rather than repair my refrigerator. That card can take as much as 30 days to receive. Understandibly, no one can wait thirty days to replace a refrigerator. After checking with Lowes Credit Department, I cannot use the E-Gift card as payment toward my card balance. Your representative with whom I just spoke told me that the E-Gift card is the only option. Neither Choice Home Warranty nor Lowes policies help your customers. I will end up wasting the $986.00 on things we do not need because I can't use it to replace my refrigerator.

The technician was amazing. He arrived early and worked quickly. The only negative was the Choice Home Warranty didn’t find anyone after four days of waiting, so I had to reach out to the technician myself.

They take a long time to get a technician scheduled and they only approve the exact comment you make on the claim even if there are obvious other issues. They will spend extra money and time to replace parts even if it is less expensive to replace the appliance. I often have to fine my own contractor and then try to get reimbursed which can take weeks. Filing a claim is easy and the cost of the warranty itself is reasonable. The call out fee is very reasonable. So far, all of the technicians they have sent out have been helpful, professional and competent.

Very professional & throurough. He used the same type of equipment to verify the problem and checked with both of the ARS technicians that were out to do the tune up about what was wrong with the furnace.

Excellent tech; very respectful and knowledgeable. Not happy with responsive of Choice to the tech’s request for repair authorization. Took over 1.5 hours for tech to hear back from Choice. Total waste of time.

I woke up very early in the morning with no electricity quickly went to my breaker box and saw breaker was tripped replaced the breaker and it still trips so I filed the claim and then called and talk to a representative later in the morning to try to get this expedited and she told me there’s no way to expedite it which is kind of ridiculous cause I really need the electricity in my house so I’m very upset about that. Not to mention I’m waiting for someone to hopefully come today.

I have had Choice for a number of years and now I may need to explore other competitors. After negotiating my copay on the last contract midway through Choice decided that I want paying enough and went up on my co-pay. this is not right and your team totally ignored my plea. They said it was a glitch when in fact this rate was negotiated. Unbelievable thievery

Can’t get someone when it’s urgent to get repair done. I needed garage door spring replaced and had to wait 4 days. At first it was going to be 5 but I called back and they got it t4. I was stuck not being able to get out of garage. Had to cancel one appt and finally getting wait down a day didn’t have to miss second. Reps didn’t seem to care it’s important. Just because it’s not a pipe broken causing a flood. I was disappointed. Haven’t needed any services for awhile then this and wait.

My kitchen sink was clogged up. The technician came and didn't get it fixes, and claiming it was the sewer pipes problems which requires a specialist to take video of the pipe problems. Any your Agent claiming this kind of stoppage is an "Out of ordinary wear & Tear" issues and you will not be responsible for fixing it. This is totally unacceptable.

Zack Charlotte, NC

I have rental property and nine policies with CHW. They never have technicians available in my area so CHW almost always approves for me to use my own. That in itself is fine with me but CHW puts me, and the technicians I hire, through the ringer to get even simple repairs approved and it's an absolute fight to get systems replaced. I will spend hours on the phone for each project and will send my techs out to a property multiple times to gather additional documentation for CHW, dragging out the process for days leaving units without heat, hot water, etc. They have even forced me to put $500 into a 12 yr old water heater instead of replacing it with a new unit that has a 10 yr warranty. That is simply a terrible long-term business decision. Even if CHW approves a system getting replaced, they will use the gray area and fine print of my policies to only cover approximately 70% of the total cost of replacement on say a furnace. Oftentimes they will get gimmicky and offer me waved policy premium fees instead of reimbursement on a covered system which I'm not a fan of. Their resolution managers are a mixed bag. If you get a good one, they will assist you with getting your claim approved. If you get a bad one, they will work against you to get your claim denied. Their is no consistancy.

vendors are normally taking up to a week to show up. one vendor dx air solution only showed up after I called them. They fixed issue and then 20 days later the unit stopped working again. This time after waiting a week for them to show up and calling them twice and leaving voices mails to confirm they were coming, never showed up. i called customer support and indicated I did not want to use that vendor any longer, to get the appt rescheduled and then was assigned that vendor again.

Every claim takes too long to resolve. Minimum 5 days to get a contractor to see the problem and then get approval. I am still trying to get my gas range fixed since August. I was also offered a free service call for renewing. It has conveniently been forgotten. Also, the $65 service fee has been upped to $75. That wasn’t supposed to happen. Last summer, my A/C conked out on Thursday. It was 95 degrees & 95% humidity. Didn’t t get fixed until Tuesday. Same. Thing a few months later. Still hot & humid and broke on Thursday. Same thing was happening so I called my own service guy and got the problem fixed in a couple of hours. Tell me why I need this warranty?

Chouce has been a good company to take care of my appliances . The only drawback is that it takes a lot of time to get things fixed with multiple visits by technicians and gaps between visits. A fix of dishwasher or fridge can take 3 to 4 weeks if not longer.

The technician was fantastic but the scheduling is difficult. They don’t come when choice says they will they call and make their own appointment, and it takes a very long time to get the appliance fixed. My dryer still isn’t fixed.

I liked how easy and informative the website was and how I could choose the plan and payment type that suited our needs. HOWEVER, after I purchased my plan, I had a salesperson from Choice contact me to try to get me to buy a different plan. He was snippy with me. A few hours later another salesperson contacted me for the same reason. He was also sassy when I said I already had someone call about this. It was very irritating.

WK Schneider Englewood, OH

The decision was to provide me the money to replace my dishwasher by a Lowe’s E-gift card for $246. I am not sure where $246 came from because even the lowest value dishwasher that does absolutely nothing costs a lot more than $246. We had a beautiful stainless steel top touch digital dishwasher that costs a lot more than that and no one even asked what kind of dishwasher we had, the most they may have had is the brand. I would expect some money to come out of my pocket but not the majority of the costs. Secondly, my offer was a Lowe’s e-gift card so I have no options for anywhere else to shop around so not sure if choice has some sort of relationship with Lowe’s but this completely ties my hands as to where I have to purchase my replacement. Lastly, when I get the offer for the gift card I get an email that says we are so sorry for the inconvenience, we realize how inconvenient it is to be without a major appliance. Well apparently Choice is not too worried about it because when I inquired as to when I would be getting my gift card, I was told it could be 30 days. If we want to discuss inconvenience then look at the 30 days it might take to get my sales tax money, if it’s an e-gift card and it was approved before I received the email, then why is it taking so long. Between this claim and my last claim from this summer, with no resolution, and being treated worse than I have in my entire life I am debating if I am going to wait out the rest of my contract or go ahead and make the switch to a better company and just eat the cost. I am leaning towards just losing the money and switching companies

Choice Home Warranty was very responsive to my "emergency" need of a new water heater. It took one week from placing the claim to having the new water heater installed. I am thankful that I recently renewed my home warranty with Choice Home Warranty and that they were able to provide me with the service I needed.

I made a claim for my washer. I said the seal was torn. The first technician from Sears came to the house and investigated. He said the repair was more than the cost of the washer. The Tub has failed causing the problem. He ordered parts and then we waited for Choice to make a decision. The parts were still on order over 30 days later and we could not get any help. "We will send another email to them" 4 or 5 times "We will send another email to them" while we wait for help. Finally OK if you don't want to wait any more we will assign the claim to another company. So we waited until the 2nd company came. The technician said the same thing as the first , "it will cost more to repair than its worth". So the report was submitted to Choice and the claim declined. Why declined? The seal damage is not normal wear and tear, of course not the tub failure caused the seal damage both technician said that. Choice declined it and told me the seal complaint was not normal wear and tear so they are not paying. You must make a new claim and pay another $60 for the tech to say the same thing again. The company assigned called me about the problem and asked about the washer, I explained that the technician was just there and knew what the problem was. She told me they submitted the report, Choice chose to not look at anything but the seal. Then declined the claim. I made a new claim and they are sending me $547 for my washer which now has a replacement cost of about $800. I took the money because I am tired of dealing with a company that caused us so much grief. My warranty expires in December, I have been a customer since 2018 I believe. You won't get anymore of my money. Your handing of this incident has proven to me you are not worth money I work for.

The issue I have is the amount of money they give to buy you out. When I purchased the warranty they made it seem as though they would take care of everything when an appliance goes bad. They gave me $340 for a washing machine. I don’t think it is enough when you have to buy it and have it delivered and installed. This is the last time I will purchase this warranty. I will be going to cinch where they give you replacement cost or order your machine and have it delivered and installed.

I think the service you provide is valuable. I am not sure about your sales tactics. I already signed for service and opted to pay monthly as I do not wish to spend a large sum of money at once, and the sales person still pushed for an even larger sum of money to lock in my rate for 6 years. He was nice enough but a little tone deaf to think I would be willing to pay such a huge amount. As soon as he offered to contact his manager to get a better rate, I almost canceled with you because it seems like you are ripping people off unless we talk to the manager. I would have been fine without that added bit of pressure at the end of the call.
