Biggest problem is we forget we have it. Process is always great. One thing I'd like to see is the ability to pick a provider, especially if they were used before through Choice.

I really can't provide an accurate review at this time. I looked online for a quote, and as soon as I put in my phone number, I received a call. I don't really like that kind of tactic. I was given what seems to be a good plan at reasonable rates. I won't actually know until I have a claim. If I get what I paid for, I will be happy. The rates are lower than Sears home warranty service. We will see.

Every time I've had a claim, Choice Home Warranty has responded quickly by assigning a company to come and repair situation same day I reported claim. Never had any problem with them. I recommend Choice Home Warranty.

It has been easy to file a claim and scheduling an appointment with the contractor. However, every service has had some hiccup which resulted in either the service isn't covered or most recently, the repair parts backordered for over a month. The CHOICE service rep has explained that there is noting they can do about it but the "super" customer rep has forwarded a check for the "cost of the repair" usually $200 or so. In the most recent, I have been told that I can use this amount towards the replacement of my washer since I already received a service call, This resolution seems contrary to the overall purpose of having this coverage and I am considering for the 4th time of cancelling my contract.

Your sales force's hyperaggressive approach is not reassuring. I expect that of the dodgier sort of outfit. I will be asking the BBB about you. There has been some difference between prices quoted on Sunday the 17th and subsequently. This, again, is challenging to one's peace of mind. The "$100 off" figure is more than the annual rate I first heard.

I spoke with a rep yesterday who was very helpful. We agreed i would call today, which i did, to sign up. However, other reps were blowing my phone up. When i told one rep i was on the phone with another rep, he rudely responded, “why i answer the phone then!”

This is our first time experience of using services, unfortunately it was terrible. Choice was prompt in assigning a technician, not the technician never turned up on agreed time nor he called up, it happened twice for same job. Finally when he arrived he didn't have right set of tools to fix the problem. He said someone will come, no one turned up as yet. On top of this Choice system generated email tell us the appointment was missed by us. Crazy. Typical, lot of tall promises when the sales person wants to sell the product and when it comes to delivery we know what the real customer focus is.

Everything went well once the contractor showed up. It took a long time for CHW to find someone and get them to my house, which isn't convenient when waiting for a hot water heater to be fixed. Once here, however, they did a great job. Professional, clean, and friendly.

We've had two service calls in the past 30 days on our AC units. The first time, the techs performed the service, without speaking with CHW first, and it turned out that wiring wasn't covered. The vendor then harassed be for over a week trying to get me to pay out of pocket. This time around, CHW gave me the wrong time frame, and then said I missed my window. Luckily this vendor was solid, and came during the window they had given me when I called them directly, and fixed our issue once and for all (from what I can see). CHW has very poor vendor relations.

I reviewed the many home warranty programs on line and Choice stood out. I hope they are as good as advertised. So far they've met all the prerequisites. Their advertising, confidence and belief in what they offer is great! Custer service was also great. I signed up, now let's see how it goes. Thanks Choice!

Overall, more likely to actually cover things than other home warranty companies like American home shield . They will also give you a better deal if you buy multiple policies or more than one year up front. Their vendors aren’t always great. Have had a few pretty bad service issues here and there. I’m not sure much can be done about that

I felt the tech was not very knowledgeable but he was friendly. He had to keep leaving to get parts. He could not give me a receipt right then after I gave him cash. Stated he had his personal vehicle and not the work van because it had broken down. Replace the motor on the fan of unit but it still is not cooling like Zi think he should be cooling. He stated because maybe it is an older unit. Really !! In addition it took him from about 3:00 until 6:45 to replace motor.

I already have a warranty of the home I live in. I called to have the house I have rented out added. Staff was very friendly although a little pushy to get me to agree. I did not sign up that evening and was called bright and early the next morning. I went ahead and signed. The prices are just right.

For the initial sign up, the customer service representatives are very helpful in answering your questions regarding appliances and home systems. They DO NOT give any indication as to what is considered old or that regardless that you just opened an account that everything is covered. However, should you be blind sided as I was, they will attempt to refund your service fee or make other concessions. Bottom Line, if the technician that comes to your home for service states that it is old, has signs of rust, dents or not clean. Your Choice Warranty will NOT cover the issue. Basically, if its new and under their warranty; the world is in harmony.

I talked to this company when they made an UNSOLICITED call to my home. I purchased the warranty because I needed to have the warranty protection, but I really don't like their high pressure tactics and the fact that they won't give you the best price unless you object to their pricing. This is the kind of tactic that turns me off immediately. Choice Warranty would be much better served by offering the lowest price possible from the beginning than offering the customer the various options for payment. I feel that a $25 service fee for each call and a $360 per year fee for the warranty would be an very good deal. Choice Warranty could offer an additional 3 months of coverage free for each year that the customer paid in advance. Lets face it most people who buy an extended warranty will not use it or will only call in once or twice during a 3, 4 or 5 year period. So this is a money making deal for the warranty company. I will probably cancel the warranty I bought at the end of the year because of the tactics they use to get you to buy.. There at too many warranty companies out there to be treated badly or have a bad taste in your mouth after the purchase...

First we receive a phone call from the contractor asking us what the problem was my husband explain to him that the line outside leaving from the house needed to be cleaned and that he would need the large industrial Auger to perform the job. After the phone call the contractor was then over a hour late and I had to call and ask if he was still coming. The contractor arrived at my home and preceded to ask my husband for the service fee my husband gave it to him then without doing anything the contractor informed my husband that since the job was outside he couldn't do anything. Then he preceded to tell my husband that he could do the job as long as someone paid him. I then call the service center and I talk to Chris who told me that after what the contractor told them it wouldn't be cover because the cleaning pipes was outside. I ask her how can that be when this wasn't the first time you'll had came out and unstoped these lines. But Chris told me that I could get a second opinion as long as I pay for it. I told her I don't need a second opinion because I know what needed to be done. The contractor was busy telling my husband that he could do the job but who would pay him . I got the impression that he wanted us to pay him and then would do the job. Now since he was refusing to do the job he wanted his sixty dollars back because the contractor had not done anything he wanted his money returned the contractor called the police while they were doing that I was telling Chris that this didn't make any sense because you'll have paid for the pipes to be cleaned before but she preceded to tell me this wasn't covered because it was outside after arguing with her for about 10 minutes I ask her to tell me how I can file a grievance because this was all wrong. She did finally transfer me customer disagreement and this lady listen to me and talked to the contractor asking him how much the bill would be and once he told her she gave him the authorization number. So we assumed that it was over but the plumber preceded to unload a indoor auger and of course it didn't work. Again my husband was mad because he had talked to the plumber before on the phone and told him what was wrong what he needed to get the job done and also where the cleaning pipes where. We feel that all he wanted was a quick buck and he leave. Because he told my husband all he was allowed to do was to plumb out the toilet. So he told my husband that he would be back on Sunday between 12 and 1 after he rented the right kind of auger and then he would be here of course he called and said he just awakened and after he ate his breakfast he would get auger and be here.

1st service call : requested was for refrigerator ice maker which they said isn't covered. 2nd service call : the appointment time taken for service call once I submitted claim was over 7 days for a technician to check out the oven on our range. Which of course was on a Friday causing us to wait until Monday for the technician to get back to us after contacts Choice ( even though the service call was at 11 am) Not at all what the advertising or sales associates lead you to believe.

This place is absolutely the worst. they don't always contract with licensed technicians, and when the technicians mess things up, Choice holds no liability to even help the homeowner fix what their technician messed up. I have also found that when the technician provides their report on the Breakage, Choice always finds a way to make things the homeowners fault causing them not to have to fix the appliance. the Claims adjuster is NEVER wrong and only wants to argue with you consistently even when they know themselves that they are wrong. My advice is to NOT go with this company or others like them.

I am "on the fence" with these ratings. I contracted four rental homes (with a three year contract) for PEACE OF MIND and so far, I have had more stress in following through with two claims. One critical claim was over Veteran's Day Weekend, so I had hoped this wasn't typical of Choice Home Warranty service. They couldn't find a service man to even begin the process for over five days. At the end of two separate service calls and the compressor completely breaking down, I was finally offered a total of $500 to replace a refrigerator that was not that old and had an "outside the door" water dispenser. Feature to feature would be a MINIMUM of $800. I ended up spending over $1000 to replace the refrigerator and got a whopping $500 from Choice Home Warranty. (Subtract the two service calls I paid from that total) My ONGOING issue is with a clothes dryer that was reported "not working" SIX DAYS AGO. A serviceman arrived yesterday and said the control board needed replacing and he would let Choice Hone know. The company called Choice Home at 6am. When I called Choice Home at 8am, they said they were still waiting to hear from the appliance company. To make a long story shorter, after multiple phone calls, I am still waiting for both companies to stop telling me, "He said; She said" and just PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE STATUS AND NEXT STEP in this painful process. My tenants would like an operating washing machine.

I was out shopping for a home warranty and as I was reading up information about Choice I decided to call to get a better understanding. What I was displeased with in my experience was my sales rep I had to ask him was he in a hurry because he was over talking me and not allowing me to ask questions. He seemed to in a hurry and I definitely did not like that.

If I have to be honest I'm not impressed so far. I closed on my new home on 18 Dec 2017 with a warranty from Choice Home Warranty. I waited until 22Jan 2018 and never received any welcome kit, policy # info, etc. I literally had to call and wait on the phone for well over 7 minutes. I finally get a hold of someone and get a confirmation e-mail sent to me. Then I went to the site and tried to enter my email & policy # and was told it was invalid. So I then have to call a second time today and wait for over 8 minutes. A lady by the name of Cassandra was extremely helpful and fixed the problem with the account which was they had put in my realtors email & phone #; she updated with my info.

I hadn't even completed the quote online and someone was calling me on the phone. It was that fast, maybe 20 seconds after I put my phone number in, someone was calling me. Was trying to up-sell me the whole time, to a 5 year deal. I just wanted to try it out for a year, but he kept pushing. Finally he stopped. When I told him to call me back, he really didn't want to do it. I was literally paying for it online when I got the call. Their prices online are strange!... Every time I quoted the price it was a different amount. Sometimes it was 550 and sometimes it was 440. So not sure what their practices are.
