I had a dishwasher that was worth 900.00 dollars and was told by a supervisor they would give me 179.00 they said according to them I could replace the same dishwasher for 179.00 and I said please do and install. I spoke to supervisor this morning who told me NO and told me not to expect a check in 30 DAYS for 250.00 dollars PERIOD!! This is not what there web sight says period.

When I bought the warranty the sales person went over covered items everything sounded good so I purchased the three year plan for both my homes filed a claim for leaky hot water heater they don't cover the tank just components of the hot water tank one would think the tank is part of the hot water system but not covered. I won't e en go into customer service because their is none very dissatisfied with choice will not use them again or recommend the to any one .

Quick and easy sign-up that's hassle free. Hoping I don't need to use the coverage but nice to know it's there if needed.

Every time we had a claim there was a major negotiation. You didn't just pay your copay and get it fixed. They would find some way to say it was your fault and when we complained they would come back and say ok wee will pay this and have to pay the rest. I guess that is better than nothing , but what a hassle.

Worst company . I made two claims in one year. One was roof leak and the other was heating system. Both claim was rejected with lot of reasons that we don’t know. They say different reasons to deny a claim. My family was left in the extreme winter for a week with no heat. So my advice is a big “NO” to anyone looking to buy a home warranty ..

We got suckered into being a contractor for Choice Home Warranty with their smooth lies about how easy it was to use the system, etc. Horsefeathers! Their system has so many screens and complicated operations that it could not be figured out. Plus, claims under a hundred dollars allegedly didn't require a confirmation number, but in the end they do so they did not pay. Claims over a hundred dollars required them but even with them, they did not pay. Six of the seven jobs we did for them remain unpaid and now we're going after the homeowners because we haven't gotten response from Choice.

These people are still out screw every customer and find a loop hole when none are present. I've paid more in service calls than they have paid in repairs. I would put my money in a piggy bank before renewing my contract with these people. They think by not paying for the replacement and offering to pay 1/2 when the contract stating it's their responsibility they are doing me a favor. I truly hate this company and told the supposed supervisor on the phone as much. I will be cancelling my contract immediately and posting horrible reviews on every site I can find.

A bracket in my AC unit broke and started making noise, they would not cover it because it wasnt normal wear and tear, my unit is 17 years old and still operational what did they expect for it to last forever? For it to be as old as it is and still be functioning that should tell them i have been taking care of it. Also... insurance is for unexpected issues not normal wear and tear! Sorry American home Shield! I left you to save $20! I am coming back!!!!

These guys can't even take my name off of their email list. After unsubscribing several times, several calls to them asking to be removed and calling and taking up the call takers time asking appropriate questions and then telling them I was just wasting their time like they keep wasting mine, I am still on their list. Something this simple.... I would stay way from there idiots at all costs.

Choice Home Warranty was a bad choice for me. You WILL be let down when you need their help most . This company is a total ripoff. They said they do not pay for water heater tank replacement!!. leaks. Do not learn the hard way like we did. DO NOT take out a Home Warranty from this company. They will just take your money. There is also a Facebook page titled, Choice Home Warranty Ripoff, making people aware of what a ripoff they are. Beware of these thieves.

Would not buy. If I could give them 0 stars I would. Be forewarned, they do not cover major expenses. If heating system goes out they say it is not from normal use. Excuse me, but how do you say heating your home is not normal use. They also make you jump through hoops with your service contractor to explain what needs to be done. This company will then come up with reasons not to cover your claim. So sorry I purchased this warranty. They will cover items like ceiling fans and inexpensive repairs. They do not cover labor.

Service is terrible.Heating system went out last winter and was told it would be at least three days before someone could come out. Now I have an electrical problem and this is day three and no response.I was told they were unable to locate a electrician . Two years ago I had a plumbing problem and was over charged on my service call.They said I would get credit on my next repair.Still waiting,no refund no credit. I do not know why I continue to use this terrible company. One last thing,they must out sorce their calls to another company who’s employees hardy speak English.

Our heat pump unit failed; compressor and air handler. Our initial claim was denied based on CHW's designated HVAC contractor's examination of our HVAC unit stating that it "hadn't been serviced". We are in the process of proving to CHW that, within the year of our home purchase and warranty term, our HVAC unit was serviced, and in accordance with ASHRA standards and by a licensed HVAC contractor. This is a tedious process and while we go back and forth with CHW, our house temperature is in the 40s!

Very unhappy that I have to wait for parts to be ordered, then wait for them to come in, then reschedule service. Could be a week. Will have to go to laundry mat. This summer I had a problem with my air-conditioning when it was over a 100 degrees, it was going to take three days for a repairman to come. My Mom lives with me and she was having problems with heat, I couldn't risk it. I called a repairman and had it repaired myself. Not sure what good Choice warranty is.

I have had multiple home warranty companies over the year. Hold times, are usually pretty horrible. These guys take the cake for the worst. They also have yet to find repair people to service our home in CT (by the NYC border).. We have to locate our own people, submit long and tedious paperwork and cross our fingers they will reimburse us, which is never the full amount or even close to what we were billed by the repair people in our area. Please heed my warning and stay clear.

I just got off the phone with your supervisor, Keisha. I have no heat, your repairmen were here today, i need a stock blower, your claims dept did not get to it yet (as per Keisha), I have no heat!!! Your technician is ready to install and give me heat, but choice warranty is preventing that from happening NOW, It's 53 degrees here and Choice Warranty is holding up the process. I could have had heat without choice 1 1/2 days ago without you, right now a poor decision signing up with you guys and you want a good review?

Worst company ever!! They are just scam artists!! I would highly recommend that anyone considering using Choice Home Warranty review the lawsuit and settlement from the New Jersey Departmet of Consumer Affairs wherein New Jersey laid out in detail the deceptive practices that Choice Home Warranty engages in to avoid paying claims. Choice Home Warranty admitted no wrongdoing but paid $780,000 to settle. In my dealings with Choice Home Warranty they continue their deceptive practices to deny legitimate claims. Unfortunately I found out too late!!

I don't know how to give negative stars but I would if I could. Bottom line is that I'm having to move my family Thanksgiving Dinner in 2017 because Choice Home Warranty has not responded in timely manner nor provided good customer service. I have done everything they suggested and now I need to get a second company to get repair evaluation on a microwave oven that cannot be repaired because of parts availability. Shame on You Choice!

I have had two issues one with the motor in the ac air handler and the other with a microwave. After waiting for a technician for more than twelve hours over a two day period neither was covered. This company does everything to make it as uncomfortable as possible and then finds a reason not to fix nor replace as they advertise. SAVE YOUR money, do not buy this home warranty!

Terrible experiences. The first time or two we had reputable service companies provide the service and it seemed ok. But the last couple of times service techs arrived in personal vehicles, how professional is that? and the the claim was rejected for exclusions. My fault, should have read closer. For new customers read what is excluded not what is covered. The fine print will get you every time. Some of their justifications to deny claims can not be found in exclusions.

I was talking to someone on the phone about coverage and options with intent to purchase a plan. The gentleman I spoke with only seemed interested in my credit card number. This was concerning. I told him I would like to understand the options before signing up for this service. He then told me to do my research before I call and hung up on me. I did my research which is why I chose to call this company. But, the research clearly failed me. I would never give my business to someone that treats their customers this way.

Compressor for my air conditioner failed. CHW sent a HVAC representative from across the river, Council Buffs, versus using a local Omaha representative. My AC unit was installed in 1996 and the compressor was warranted for 10 years. CHW stated that the compressor was not serviced properly so it wasn't covered. The compressor had operated successfully for 21 years and had simply worn out. In addition, they wanted me to provide invoices showing that I had annually serviced it. Who keeps invoices for 20 plus years. CHW is a scam. Don't BUY!

I got a call from a service rep today. After explaining to him that I was looking to switch my warranty because the old one was expiring and I wanted to see if there were any better deals the rep said "that's understandable". I then asked could he send me an email so I can compare what I have to what they were offering he said "it's on the website" then he hung up. I will never communicate with this company about anything.

Choice warranty sucks I recommend anybody looking for a service contract stay very far away from his company. They look for every way to get out of fixing anything or covering anything Check all the complaints look at the lawsuit from state of New Jersey and state of Washington and a lot of other complaints. I plead with everybody who has had the service to tweet how bad they are.

This company is a total scam. They do not want to pay for anything and expect the owner to pay for all repairs and their wasted deductibles. This is my first year with them and last one. Had to out of pocket for a new water heater, washer, disposer, plumbing for a burst line, and toilet valve. All instances I called them up and had to pay the 45 usd copay for them to say that they won't cover it. I will stick to Craigslist contractors. Never again will I purchase this scam.

My claim for a plumbing repair was denied- the problem needed to be fixed by "jetting" the clog. According to the authorization dept, that was not covered under my policy. I was told on the phone by a representative of Choice Warranty that only rust or corrosion would be cause for denial. As usual, this insurance company was happy to take my premium, but always finds a loophole to avoid paying a claim. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND DO NOT RECOMMEND CHOICE HOME WARRANTY
