I like the idea of the ease of getting my appliances fixed and not trying to find the cheapest repair shop in my town. This takes the worry away. Nice!!!!

Their representative Andrew was very helpful to explain all that Choice provides and what they do not provide. We were confident that we made the right choice.

If it was possible to give negative stars, I would. This is the worst warranty company bar none. We’ve had three different issues with appliances, and two out of the three weren’t covered. The third was our dishwasher which the company decided it was was more cost effective to replace than to repair. Sounds good until they offered us $245 for the replacement, and the cheapest comparable unit was $450. The claims specialist related that the company determines the value of the replacement based on the wholesale price for which they could acquire the unit, a service which they conveniently don’t provide. So after two years, $255 in service fees, and $1080 in monthly fees (not to mention the cost of repairing all of the things they don’t cover), they have done absolutely nothing. The claims specialist I spoke with insulted my intelligence by claiming he was attempting to “educate me on my contract,” which was the absolute final straw. I wouldn’t recommend this company if it was free. They are grifters and crooks. The contract might as well read, “We cover all electronic appliances unless they rely on electricity,” or perhaps “we cover all washers, dishwashers and hot water heaters unless the come into contact with actual water.” That’s the level of absurdity that you’ll be dealing with if you decide to give them your business. Avoid them like Covid

In this particular claim, over-the-stove microwave, Choice chooses to replace instead of repair. I understand that they have that choice. But, they only choose to pay for a new microwave with an e-gift card of insufficient amount to purchase a new unit. They leave the removal of the old unit and installation of the new unit to me to hire a qualified installer. One of the reasons to have a home warranty is the satisfaction that Choice makes those decisions and is responsible for the repairs. They say that is what the contract says and they are correct but it is wrong.

The technician that came out to my house, last week was amazing. He got the work done that needed to be done. However I still haven't heard back from the contractors from my 2 earlier claims.

THE WORST PURCHASE FOR MAINTENANCE I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE!!!! TOOK OVER 3 MONTHS TO GET SERVICE ON MY DRYER DURING A TIME WHEN MY HEALTH WAS COMPROMISED. DESPITE MY PLEADING FOR MY DRYER TO GET FIXED WITH UNPRECEDENTED CALLS TO CHOICE. I WAS IGNORED TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO SERVICE IN MY AREA!!!! THEN WHY I ASK DID THEY SELL ME A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT IN THE FIRST PLACE???!!!! I HAVE NEVER FELT SO SCAMMED AND VIOLATED IN MY LIFE!!!!! THIS WAS AN UNBELIEVABLY STRESSFUL AND UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE TO DEAL WITH AT A TIME WHEN I WAS ALREADY STRESSED DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED SO UNKINDLY! I ALSO SHOULD HAVE BEEN CREDITED FOR 3 MONTHS OFF OF MY CONTRACT, THAT I PAID FOR A SERVICE THAT I NEVER RECEIVED!!!! THAT REQUEST WAS ALSO DISREGARDED AND IGNORED. I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW HOW THESE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY SLEEP AT NIGHT!! TIME AND TIME AGAIN I ASKED THEM TO CALL SEARS AND SCHEDULE MY SERVICE WITH THEM!! THEY NEVER DID!!! I KNOW, BECAUSE I CALLED SEARS ON MY OWN, AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD AVAILABILITY, HOWEVER, THEY NEVER WERE CONTACTED OR HEARD FROM CHOICE! LUDICROUS!!! 3 MONTHS TO WAIT FOR A SERVICE CALL IS NOT ONLY UNACCEPTABLE BUT INHUMANE!!! NO ONE DESERVES TO BE TREATED THAT WAY—NO ONE!!!
PLEASE NOTE: THE SERVICE THAT I RECEIVED FROM SEARS WAS EXCELLENT. NONE OF THIS WAS THEIR FAULT! CHOICE NEVER CONTACTED THEM!!!!

This company tries every attempt to not pay for repairs. We called to have our furnace repaired. The issue was that the ignitor was coming on but the gas wouldn't stay lit. We just had our propane tank filled with 125 gallons. That usually last us three months in the winter.
When we reported that the furnace wouldn't stay on to keep our home lit. They sent a contractor out. He was un professional. Showed up at 9pm. It was dark out and he didn't have the upmost respect to shower including his look was like he was on something. The Guy said he found the problem and has to get the part in the morning and will be back by 11am to install. Never showed up at that time. He came again after 9pm the next day and said it was fixed. I arrived home at 10pm. The furnace was doing the same thing. I checked the tank. We was at 75% full at that time.
We made a complaint with CHW. They said they are going to sent the same guy to fix it again. We requested not to have him come back out. They insisted that they have to request the same guy to fix what he didn't fix in the first place. He never showed up. Here it is three weeks later. Making it one month without a fixed furnace. They send another contractor out.
He shows up on time but submitted that we need a whole new system. even though our system is only two years old.
They sent another company. He submitted our regulator needed to be replaced. Due to the one that is on it now is not supplying the right amount of gas pressure to ignite and stay lit.
They sent someone else out to see if that is true. So, we now have the fourth person out. His report is the same but with an extra note as to the Gas line was off and that's the reason why we have gas pressure issues.
They sent another person out to change the gas regulator. The part he purchased wouldn't fit. He left to get another one and came back in the morning the next day. Later to come back and say that one isn't working either. He couldn't get the screw out to convert it from natural gas to Propane. He told the CHW and they wouldn't pay him for his troubles.
Here now we are on month three at this point. From cooking and heating our home from our gas stove. We are now low in our tank. We are at 15% full.
CHW sends another contractor out. Not updating him on our past issues with other contractors. They waited for his report.
He said we do not have enough gas pressure because our tank is empty and needs to be filled.
Funny that the last guy says that after we shared the past contractor 5 attempts. CHW canceled the claim request and denied our repair order. I am not going to renew with them. Do NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THEM. They make you pay for a whole year NON REFUNDABLE even when they are NON RELIABLE.

CHW did not follow up on service situation. Said closed when item not replaced as agreed. The subcontractor did not schedule visit to install new unit until I called. The technician had a replacement unit in his truck but had to wait days for authorization. Clear CHW authorization process is broken - fix it immediately. Why was CHW reporting my problem was solved when it wasn't. Where did information come from saying the problem was solved. There is no acceptable system of follow-up on claim at CHW - fix it. Compared to other home warranty services - your processes are in the dark ages - FIX THEM. Am I a satisfied Customer? - absolutely NOT. I have no complaint with the technician - he was competent, personable, etc. My complaint is with CHW - you do not know how to run a home warranty business from the Customer's viewpoint..

I’m Still waiting for Roger to provide a refund of $125 the difference between his first quote and his last quote for six years of coverage and he promised to process the refund the same day the policy was done.
I Would like the opportunity to try out your warranty but I must see the refund reflected on my card immediately or exercise my option to cancel within 30 days while following up by disputing it on my credit card. I appreciate your attention to this.

Was falsely told I would always reach someone in the US for customer service. Tried to use for a septic issue and was denied. When I was with my contractor I was on the phone with the representative that was not in the US so the contractor could explain his diagnosis, rep said sorry. The contractor tried to explain it was not a lack of my maintenance but the lack of the former owner... Still denied. I asked to speak to a supervisor/manager and was told that wasn't possible. I hung up called back and again told not possible to speak to a supervisor or manager, so I said ok cancel my service, not only was I given to a rep in the US but also one that was a level to do something. I said no thank you. They said how about no service fee call for any future calls and $150 refund of the fee you paid today..... and that couldn't have been offered the first call I made? My contract was paid in full up front, not a month to month. I requested a refund and will NEVER recommend any home warranty. This was my second company and they are all rip offs. The only positive thing was Wendy the rep in Florida that ultimately helped me.

Horrible company with, WORST customer service. From my personal experience, I have made 3 service calls in the last year. And it takes over a month to fix something that only takes under 30 minutes. They will make sure you pay the service fee without fixing the issue, by sending wrong techs to the home multiple times. There is deal between the vendors and Choice Home Warranty, that they only publish the report after you pay the service fee. I had to spend $350 in service fee and for other services, without even fixing the issue. I even had to go find myself a company to fix the issue. Once you joined there is no way to cancel it without paying a huge amount. Never go with Choice Home Warranty (CHW).

My initial interaction with Choice Warranty did not go well. I’d made the decision to go with Choice I was dealing with Freddy. After going over the policy content I was prepared to pay the first of 3 installments for $160 I gave Freddy my card info. He charged my card $480.00. Bad first interaction with your organization.

Set up a new warranty to take into effect in June and agreement was set up for May. I emailed and called and they stated I had to submit current home warranty info on letterhead to change date. I didn’t make the mistake and I had to jump they hoops to correct your mistake. The sales rep was rude when I didn’t take any of his upsale pitches and resolutions rep put me on hold for a good while before coming back on and then hanging up immediately. I’ve since cancelled my policy. If takes that much work to fix your mistake I’d hate to see how it is to file a claim. I’ll take my business elsewhere.

CHW does not honor their contracts. They have some good companies that they associate with, but the companies can only do what CHW allows! I have had contracts with them for years on several homes, but will never do business with them after these 2 contracts expires. They claim to "repair or replace", instead they offer you partially what it cost to replace your appliance if the repair cost is too much! Not what the contract says!!!! It says "REPAIR OR REPLACE"!! Paying for a 3 year contract; I could have just kept the money and paid for the repairs myself after using the service only once in 3 years!! And on one of my contracts, I paid for a 3 year contract and NEVER use it!

A serviceman came to check out the dishwasher that quit operating. He discovered that the machine needed a new control panel and called Choice to place the order. Three weeks later, I followed up on claim. The response was that after further review the claim was denied because the part was a recall by G.E... I had waited for three weeks to hear that. Somebody could have called earlier. So, I called G.E. and they said they would take care of it. Meanwhile, the person that denied my claim did not bother to cancel the order. Therefore, the part arrived, and the Choice serviceman came to install it. The G.E. man arrived at the same time. Two servicemen were standing in my kitchen. The Choice man had just installed the new part, so the G.E. man took his part and left. The next morning, I ran the dishwasher and when it finished, there was a buildup of water in the bottom. I called the serviceman, and he came back. He determined that pieces of the old rack had broken off and clogged the drain. He called Choice and ordered the rack. Three weeks later, I followed up and Choice said the part had been denied because it was under recall. They had confused the claim for the rack with the previous claim and once again let me wait for three weeks to hear this response. They continued to use the claim # for the previous claim rather than the new claim #. After my constant questioning, they sent me to a claims specialist. She told me of the denial being that it was a recall. I convinced her that it was a mix up in claim numbers. She understood and agreed. So, I did the simple thing by filing a new claim for the rack. The service man came back and picked up another check for $65 and re-ordered the part. This time, it was denied because Choice does not cover rust? What did rust have to do with pieces of the rack breaking off? This has been exasperating to say the least. I wish I had not purchased the 3 1/2 year contract. I also wish I had not talked my son into purchasing a contract a few months ago. In reality, it appears that Choice does not cover older products.

I am not pleased at all with your customer service staff, they are not at all concerned with your customers, they assigned me twice to people more than 3 hours a way from me, they were not concerned at all when first guy dropped me 5 min before service call, I took off work the entire day and he called me five minutes before he was supposed to arrive to let me know he didn’t service our area, the first time I ever had to call y’all out to look at my icemaker somehow or another y’all got out of paying for that, and the guy would only take cash and he was late getting there by three days and I had taken off a day of work that time as well your staff is not knowledgeable they are very disconcerting they do not care, and if you are having a choice home warranty in the area you should have more people in that area working for you, y’all need to get your sales people out here looking for contractorsThat work in the Crystal Beach area in Galveston county you have nobody. I am not at all happy with your customer service at all, but the guy that came yesterday was completely amazing

My first claim was already a denial. First, they said they couldn't find me a technician and asked me to find one myself and submit the diagnosis. Then, they rejected the claim outright citing "pre-existing condition." However, on their website and their policy, it clearly states that "the age of a home or its systems and appliances does not matter. We cover items that are in good working condition and properly maintained." However, when things break, they will then say "we won't cover it."
The case manager Ms T. was rude, totally unprepared, unfamiliar with the case details, completely unprofessional, and condescending. She was unwilling to listen but kept repeating "this is a denied claim". What's the point of having a case manager if they are not helping the customers but keep defending the company's pre-set opinion?

I like how easy it is to submit a claim. The response time is extremely quick, and the people they send out to do the work are good. The only downside is the steep fee for submitting a claim. Each request costs $65, so it doesn't make sense to go through them for most repairs.

Poor. I am disappointed by Choice Warranty Company. The last two times I have had need to call, the response has been negative. An offered replacement amount was so low it was not possible to find a comparable appliance remotely near the quality and options. That ended up being mostly out-of-pocket repair. This week, another disappointment on a repair of the same item, but different parts broke down. Choice refused repair costs. Appliances have many moving parts, especially washers. A policy that allows only one call on such an item is unrealistic and has created great dissatisfaction in this customer. When it is time to renew my 3-year policy, at this time, it is likely to be considered with great scrutiny, lest they are all alike: promise aid, satisfaction and security, then deliver little financial assistance and lots of frustration.

I've had a policy with them for two years and every time I have a repair request it takes jumping through hoops. After they send someone for service call and you need repair or replacement ita always double talk of what's NOT COVERED
which seems to be most things. I have repair or replacement and they tried telling me my AC system which needed coil replacement wouldn't be covered because of rust from leaking freon. I lost it. Spent days and days to try to get some resolution as this unit is only 7 years old and under warranty and they said it still would cost me. They said I would need to pay install fee and part would be now covered under warranty. I need my AC now as I am in Florida but I will fight any charges above my service charge fee of $60.
Once my contract runs out I will run not walk away from them and I would never recommend them.

This has been the worst experience of our time with Choice home warranty. Our microwave went out and it took the company 2 weeks just to find a technician after countless calls into customer service. After a technician was found it took another week for him to come out to inspect the microwave. After the diagnosis, choice home warranty decided to replace our unit. But little did we know they would only offer HALF the cost of the value of our microwave. So we had to pay a service fee to the technician ($75) + the remaining money to get a replacement unit. Of course, the claims rep wasn’t able to increase our offer amount. The customer service was unhelpful, the offer amount was a joke and the time we spent waiting with a broken until was unacceptable HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

I left a detail message about the plumber that repaired the pipe. How messy he left my kitchen, no tarp to cover ANYTHING and appliances, floor, counters, sink, and stove had drywall in around and under. He didn’t clean up very well at all, and no respect for my home. In the process cut 4holes in my kitchen and told me the water filled light would be alright, only for it to go out shortly after he left. I’ve NEVER gotten a response from Choice Home or a simple apology. The experience was far removed from amazing. It was horrible and stressful. There’s so much more to add, but it seems to be no point

The second attempt to have a technician come to address my leak was finally successful, but the issue was not appropriately assessed or addressed. I am now filing my second claim after already replacing the ceiling drywall, which will likely need to be torn out to fix the plumbing leak.

CHW sent a low end repair service to check out a bearing failure noise in our LG front loader washing machine. The technician did admit he had little experience on LG machines. His report to CHW stated in his opinion, the failure was caused by OVERLOADING and ABUSE. Also he claimed the repair was extensive and complex. When in FACT we NEVER OVERLOAD or ABUSE the machine. CLAIM DENIED BY CHW due to some fine print on ABUSE. END RESULT......We purchase a NEW LG front loader machine. Interestingly a SKILLED LG repair technician installing the new machine informed me of 2 important FACTS. 1) The bearing failure is normally caused by AGE not overloading or ABUSE. 2) The fix could be done in less than 2 hours using approx. $160 in parts. I had to pay for the CHW service call and also for the price of a NEW WASHER $$$$. In my opinion CHW does not use quality repair facilities , probably saving money for CHW and also using such repair agents to check the ABUSE BOX as to facilitate claim denial. I paid over $1170 for coverage NEVER AGAIN BUYERS BEWARE CHW will work hard to DENY CLAIMS
When choosing home warranty companies my advise is BUYER BEWARE of CHW.

I’m a new customer so I cannot render a review at this time. However, Robert was cordial, knowledgeable and came across as someone I wouldn’t mind doing business with.

So far I've only paid for the policy dealing with Kurt. Kurt was professional and knowledgeable. I hope the service when and if needed will be as good as advertised.

Getting a tech to show up, long delays in getting a tech scheduled from the time you call to when the actual appointment is. Once appointment is set, the tech does not show up and there is no call from the company letting you know that - they just don't show up. *They seriously don't have control of who *they (*Choice Home Warranty) use. Absolutely the worst company I have every dealt with. Example-Called them regarding my washing machine on 6/21/2021, it's now 7/29/2021 and my washing machine is still not fixed. They use Sears as their outside source - Sears is worse than Choice Home Warranty as a company. Sears has blown off 3 scheduled appointments, have misdiagnosed what was wrong, have ordered the wrong part. They don't let you know, that as you wait around for them the whole day, they are no showing up. Then you call CHW and they are clueless. It's amazing they are still in business - both companies.

I specifically paid for my well to be covered, it’s my only water to the home. when it stopped working, on a Saturday I contacted them and was told it is not considered an emergency repair and would have to wait til Monday before they would attempt to find someone to come out. So tht would take at least 4 days without water. Even after I informed them we had no other water source. I had already had issues with these NJ backsliders, so I was not surprised. This company has sent a repairmen tht refused to do the job when my HVAC was in disrepair, because he didn’t want to go in the crawl space. So this caused another delay because I had to file all over again. And another time tht same tech from Global Inc., said I called him and canceled him for a repair. So I had to refile once again after waiting on this guy all day. So I asked the company not to send tht company back for any reason, but they did it anyway.
So I just stopped using them. So essentially I paid them for nothing. I mean they already had been paid, but I they already had my money and I knew I wouldn’t renew my contract with them. Not evn sure if any of these warranties are worth it. It’s not evn peace of mind if they don’t consider water to your home as urgent.
In fact I didn’t realize they were out of NJ til after I had bought the plan. They just don’t seem to have contracts with companies in the south. I paid over $500.00 year.

However, Choice Warranty - extremely rude. Customer service has zero compassion or etiquette. I was asked verbatim “So do you wanna renew your policy or not?” Additionally, they deny every claim. Convince you to get a higher tiered plan and it turns out it doesn’t cover anything either. I hate them. They’ll call you all day and night even though you’ve told them a million times you wouldn’t renew with them if you’re life depended on it. I was always rushed when I had to speak with someone. I’ve had to pay twice to have the same issue addressed. They take a long time to find a technician to be dispatched and show no regard/sympathy.

Much like the first and only ever time we have had to use our warranty, the company they selected was nearly awful. The selected a company to address our needs. We get an initial email that they will be out the following Monday, between a 5 hour gap. Then on Monday, we get an email that they have to cancel and move the appointment to another 5 hour gap on the next day. The next day we call to narrow down the time and select between 430/5 on Tuesday and the company agreed. At 4:04 the company text me and stated that they cannot come out and need to move the appointment to Friday. I expressed my frustration about rescheduling for the 3rd time and agreed to Friday. The company then texts me on Wednesday and says they will "be in the area" and want to come out. Even more frustrated, we accommodate and make at 1pm on the dot available. The company calls me at 11:55am and says "we're sitting in your driveway and no one is home". !!!!!!!!! We work 30 minutes from our home, so I said there is n o way we can just drop what we are doing and get there and that we had AGREED on 1pm. making it "official". Anyways, they left to go have lunch and did arrive back at our house for the 1pm appointment. They were quick and efficient, so that was nice, but by this point we were extremely frustrated because we had been here before. The first time we had to use this warranty there was a huge runaround with the agency they selected and we had to involve managers, many tearful and angry exchanges, after being without air in the middle of the summer for nearly a month. I cannot WAIT to have this warranty over after our year paid. We are purchasing through another company.

The benefit of having a home warranty of unmatched, but the agony of using Choice Home warranty is not worth it. Over a month ago I started a claim for my refrigerator not cooling or freezing. It took 2 weeks to send out a technician that did absolutely nothing but that my service fee money and leave. This past week I finally got them to send someone else out who told me he wasn't going to fix it and that I should do it myself. The only resolution Choice offers me is for me to pay out of pocket to find someone myself to fix it, which is precisely what I paid them an exorbitant amount to do. I've repeatedly asked for a full refund so I can go buy my own refrigerator but that request is constantly ignored. Now I have to go through the arbitration process to get my money back from this scam of a company. Get a home warranty, don't get it from Choice though you'll regret it.

I would never use them again. I paid for the warranty upfront BIG mistake!!! They send unprofessional contractors to your home. One had his belly hanging out without a mask during COVID and his next appointment his girlfriend came along and with no judgement she appeared to be dependent on some substance. I had a plumbing issue the first person fixed it but didn't fix it correctly. I called in to say the problem was not fixed they requested for the same plumber to come back out but he did not and 30 days had passed do they made me open another claim with no co-pay but when the next plumber came he had to start the process all over which in turn went towards the $500 cap they have this time they put 2 holes in my wall and the misdiagnosed and told me I reached my cap so I couldn't get my walls fixed. I went to the BBB and I am now fighting with them to refund my money or fix my wall and they keep responding I can't get a refund but are not even mentioning my walls.
The are NOT BBB approved so you are fight against a company with NO INTEGRITY!!!!!
Oh they have a good way with their wording on the contract to make it seem like they cover a lot but they don't. I have had other services like American Shield and never had this problem

When my air conditioner unit failed a few years ago, they would not cover any repair or replacement of the unit. And when my dishwasher broke, the amount they offered to replace it was only half of what the dishwasher cost. For little and inexpensive things or simple repairs, they are OK, but I don’t think I will ever recoup the cost of the premium.
