Choice Home Warranty Reviews

The policy worked well for us, and the technicians were assigned in a timely manner during the first year of our policy, which was included with the purchase of our home five years ago. After that first year, we decided to continue the coverage and get a longer service contract. The quality of service has declined since then and the wait time for technicians to be assigned has increased. I am currently almost 2 weeks waiting for someone to fix or diagnose the problem with my water heater.

When we originally signed up with you we thought it was a good idea as we had some appliances theat were starting to age. Whenour ice maker quit working we had great service. Then our dish washer was having issues and we were told it could not be fixed due to its age and you sent us a check for 400.00 to purchase a new one. Then our washer started having issues and we were told it could not be fixed because of age and thats when we started having problems with you. First you said we would get a gifty card from Lowes and that never happened, then you said you would send us a check and that has not happened so now we are thinking of going else where. Please respond!!

Had to wait over 2 months in the dead of winter with no heat in sub freezing weather to wait for them to send several different service people who couldn’t fix my tankless hot water heating unit. I found my own plumber to work on it and after 3 weeks of trying to get my plumber to deal with Choice to help them with upload there photos and diagnosis, choice declined to pay claiming it wasn’t regular wear and tear of the system. Practically 3 months without heat only to be declined the claim while we sat in one room with a space heater and still and to pay out of pocket to get it fixed. (Which could have been done the week it broke!)

If the repair is a simple appliance like washer, dryer or dishwasher, I haven’t had too many issues. I have had issues getting a tech for my AC and garage door opener. Many techs won’t work with a warranty company or don’t want to just do the quick fix. I have had to wait a long time while they try to find a part before replacing the device.

The first scheduled tech never arrived. Had to message Choice a few times to get a replacement company. The new tech diagnosed the issue quickly; washing machine unit needed replacing. Choice would send eLowes card for replacement amount. Took a month before funds were disburse. If I was banking on those funds to purchase replacement, I would have been without for a full month or longer.

It's our Warranty company. Ark Plumbing was referred to us by Choice. Our problem is shower head heavy leaking /dripping, since 3/1/26. It took almost (2) wks today for a plumber to try to fix the leak after assessment and authorization of part from Choice. This whole time my bill is running high due to the leak. We paid $225 plus $75 service fee to Ark, but the leak is still there, I'm very disappointed. I contacted Ark Plumbing about it after (7) hrs, but still no response. I really need this problem to be solved asap. Your prompt attention to this matter is much appreciated. Thank you

I bought a one year contract with Choice Home Warranty and only had to use them one time. When I called for service on the one item, they told me to find my own repair company and then go through a bunch of folderal of me paying the bill and then getting reimbursed and this that and the other. So I just called my own repair company and got the work done quickly and reasonably instead of using Choice Home Warranty which I found to be somewhere between useless and a waste of time. Due to my experience I probably won't be renewing with them again as they apparently didn't care about me in the slightest.

I wanted to pick up a home warranty for my property. They have proven no different, increasing twice on the payment for the initial call and only wanting to repair or replace small itemized jobs. Even after replacement you have to wait a month for an E-GIFT card..??? It's computer generated. Im without a refrigerator for 30 days waiting on a gift card that is delivered via email.

I’ve had two claims. Both were late. First on did a company change because they couldn’t come out after confirming. Waiting since 7 this morning and repair person is verifying with you after I had already confirmed with him. When the first tech came he fixed the problem but it was 6:30 pm when he got her. But really polite and helpful. Still waiting for second tech to get here.

We thought the service man was very good. He identified the problem and we were back up and running I a very short time. The only problem came from the wait for the appt. We had 4 days without AC which required us to have to buy a window unit. Sine we care for our 93 ye old know who’s is very ill going without AC wasn’t an option. This should have not been needed and we wasted $219. Please do a better job for your clients.

We thought this company would be helpful. The most recent plumber sent to fix our toilet was great. However in the past we have been sent service people who were lazy and didn’t really solve the problem. Our biggest issue is our sprinklers. We put in a request to have them fixed. We were sent a gardener who said the issue was beyond his expertise and we needed a SPRINKLER TECHNICIAN. We asked for one and were sent a plumber who said the issue was beyond his expertise and we needed a SPRINKLER TECHNICIAN. I think we were sent another plumber. We put the issue aside because it was winter and we weren’t using the sprinklers, but we still need a SPRINKLER TECHNICIAN

I was assigned to BTS TOP TO BOTTOM It was not a good experience The technician came twice didn't fix the leakage I called back and they put the urgent tax to the technician again he still did not call me or text me ! I had to call CHW back again that claim was cancelked and another claim was opened !!! I'm really hoping this time I will be assigned to a reliable company)technician.

The review is more based on the undependable service of the service provider assigned to repair my refrigerator He missed one appointment and failed to let me know he was sick, and then no showed to more scheduled appointments, Tech was was very nice and when he finally showed up de the work quickly and to date seem refrigerator is working ok. Service provider was had to contact by phone or text. Good communication was disappointing.

I’m disillusioned with Choice Home Warranty and will probably not renew later this year. They were unable to find any company in my area to repair my broken garage door. I had to find my own repair company and none of the ones I contacted would accept/work with Choice Home Warranty. In fact Precision garage doors doesn’t accept any home warranty companies

I originally had a failing refrigerator. I was going out of town for the holidays. I was proactive and filed a claim with. A serviceman came out December 10 and said it was a fan and he would order the part. December 11 another company came out and said it was low on coolant and added that. December 22, 2025 my neighbor called and said it wasn't cooling. As a result I lost all my food. Had the 2nd service call advised me to move food to another refrigerator that could have been avoided. As I was gone till the new year the second service tech came back January 2nd,2026. He applied a leak fix that did not work. All this time and they said they would replace it. At $818 that was a small price for all my time and food loss then they said it would be another 30 days for the check to arrive. I still have not got the check.

Because your scheduling is pathetic. I was not able to speak with anyone and your system gave me a day that did not work for me. I called back and then was able to speak with someone who supposedly changed the appointment to the following day. Well, they didn’t do their job correctly and the technician calls me while I’m at a doctor’s appointment and tells me that he is 10 minutes away from my house. Not on the new appointment date, but the original appointment date that I had changed with Choice. Simply pathetic. I will give a shout out to the technician who came and did the repair, he was great. But as far as Choice is concerned, I’m really disappointed in your system of appointment scheduling. Now want me to renew for over $2000? I’ve had Choice for 5 1/2 years and only two service calls have been made by me. You guys have certainly gotten your money’s worth from me and then some. Sincerely, Harold L.

I've had Choice Home Warranty for a couple of years and used it a couple times. The first time took exorbitantly long for a technician to be assigned to a simple plumbing job (leaky faucet). Unfortunately, the technician also broke it worse. Regardless, after a bit of waiting for new parts, it was installed and works well. The second time was just over a month ago. I called about my stove not working properly. One burner was overheating and would not hold temp. A technician was assigned extremely quickly and came to look at the stove within a couple days. He diagnosed a faulty burner element and an infinite switch. Since the cost was going to be $500, Choice said they would replace the stove. However, this is where I feel I received better value at my prior warranty company. Choice offered me just under $400 to replace my electric stove, which would be in the form of a e-gift card from Lowe's. They stated they were offering me the fair replacement "wholesale price" value. However, they didn't take into consideration the type of stove I had, as well as the features such as oven cleaning and convection settings. The absolute cheapest electric stove at Lowe's was about $520...which was the old-style coil burner elements. I talked with a representative, who was extremely pleasant, and she was able to increase my gift card to $485. Still not great since a comparable stove to the one I owned was around $750-$800, but I said fine, that will work. Again, here is the main issue I have with their service. The final claim happened on Dec 5th...it took them 19 more days to send me an electronic gift card. As this was right before Christmas and I had company coming over for the holidays, I needed a working stove. So essentially, I had to purchase a stove to ensure I would get a pre-Christmas delivery, and now I have gift card (received on Dec 24th) to Lowe's I need to utilize. It really just doesn't make a ton of sense. The technician they hired was great, the customer service rep was nice enough, but taking almost 20 days to send me an email gift card is ridiculous, not even counting I can't buy a stove for wholesale prices. I'm not saying their a bad company, but my last home warranty company was much better.

Because it seemed to be well recommended. But we had an oven motherboard go bad, which meant they couldn’t repair it. We received a Lowe’s gift card for ~$900, but the replacement (same brand, size 27”, similar features) costs ~$3,200 at Lowe’s. So the replacement costs us ~$2,300! Or we get the much cheaper replacement, with few available alternatives to select from, instead. Neither solution is desirable and certainly wasn’t understood when we signed up. We even had a local appliance repair look at our ovens for maintenance and diagnostics before we signed up. So this really was an unexpected surprise. Sears Home Services would’ve fully replaced, based on our experience about 12 years ago (refrigerator). Choice offered absolutely no other options for us, not even a cash card that we could use at another retailer.

Company is good but not keeping promises. When they sell warranty they will present as they will cover everything etc. Issue - they don't schedule tech for more then week or so. Once tech goes on site he writes report and then go back to company, you will not hear for few weeks for the resolutions. Most of the time they will deny the claim with really none justifiable cause . I have tenant moved in the home and issue started. I had open three claim for three issues. They did not cover any of them. Still, I was liable for vendor trip cost . So this warranty are not good. I am ready to cancel warranties with my all properties and handle my self with handy man when issue comes up This is cheaper and faster then paying Yearly subscription and still you end up paying charges

They wouldn’t fix my washing machine problem. The repairman told me it only cost $389 to fix it, but they didn’t want to pay that much on my claim.

I needed some extra protection for things that break that I couldn't afford to replace or have fixed. It says it's 'easy to cancel', no it isn't. I almost had to be the rep and the next rep to cancel it and they were a bit ruthless in trying to 'retain' me.

To be honest, there's no value for home warranty when there are so much clauses of what they can and can't do. I end up paying a tonne of money to get things fixed. Please do not call me for a re-sign. There's no value for money.

It was cheaper than the warranty I had before. But cheaper is not always better. Also the age of the appliance or whatever you want to fix has to be a certain age or y'all don't pay for it. Then you prorated and then charge $50 to cancel. Wow!

Many promises were made when I joined the Choice Home Warranty. They made me feel as though I would be treated fairly when in actuality they just wanted my money. I was convinced to join their company and it cost me $5,000+ which is suppose to cover me until 2027. I am sorry I extended myself for so long because the very first attempt I made to use them; I was denied. After that, everytime I use them, it cost me $85 and that's before any services were performed. It cost me over $200 for refrigerator repair and finally they sent me a voucher that wasn't even enough to cover the cost.

The price you are offering for our Microwave is way too low. Trouble with my garage door you didn’t find anybody to send out. I had to find somebody on my own. When they came out, I called and needed to talk to somebody. Nobody was available to talk. I left a message to have somebody call me back nobody called me back not too happy right now and we need to talk some more. Have somebody call me

The company lulls you into a false sense of security. I’ve been with them for 5 years and recently had my furnace breakdown. The repair company that was sent in informed Choice Home Warranty that the entire furnace needed to be replaced. I was informed there would be a$2000.00 out of pocket expense for uncovered services. So much for peace of mind knowing you’re covered if something in your house breaks down. What a bunch of BS!! I don not recommend this company. You can get the same coverage with other home warranty companies and not be blind sided when you file a claim. Good riddance!!

Most of the time, it has taken a while for Choice to find/assign a contractor (more than 24 hours). A few times, I have received an email from Choice with an appointment set, only to find out the named contractor was unaware of the appointment and either no-showed, or had a much later date set. If there is something pressing, there doesn’t seem to be a sense of urgency.

When I originally signed up with Choice, I paid $1500 with the understanding that everything was covered once the coverage became im force Well that was not the case. I ended up having to pay several hundred dollars for maintenance on my a/c / heater they covered a minimal amount. There were other issues that cropped up thar, again I had to pay more than I was given to expect when the warranty was sold. This last issue was handled correctly, and with minimal effort on my part. I still have very little confidence in Choice.

I was okay, until I had to place a claim. From this point everything went wrong. My washer broke down and I was told that I had to wait three to four weeks to get it replaced. ...My payment method had change and didn't make a payment in time,so after making the payment I was told I have to wait another 3 to 4 weeks, because they canceled sending the check. On top of that the amount to replace the washer was minimal.

Choice Home Warrantee has no apparent control over their contractors. They sent me a Plumber to replace my Water Heater and he disconnected the Humidifier and failed to reconnect it to the New Water Heater. I had to wait for Four Seasons to tell me that my Humidifier was not connected. Who does that ?? Is this plumber so incompetent that he forgot to re attach my Humidifier. And now I can get him to come back and finish the job that he was paid for. Good Services Plumbing and Excavation ought to change their name. And Choice Home Warrantee ought to see to it that their contractors finish the job. 9 times he's promised to return and complete the job and he hasn't made it here yet. And maybe the worst part is that Choice Home Warrantee is after me to renew my contract saying we'll give you 2 months free. How about just getting your contractor to finish this simple job ??

Several conflicting emails. Can't find anyone, find your own. We found someone but don't need to pay the $75, pay the $75.

My $75 service fee jumped to over $800 to take care of broken water heater. Shocked me. Had to have hot water, no one to dispute this for over a week, so felt had to pay it.

I was under the impression that when you say you covered an appliance that’s what you meant not decide your going to give $800 for a $3500 refrigerator… very disappointed in your service !!!

Waiting to be paid can take a while. Never enough to purchase new or equivalent product. Service can take awhile for them to find someone to try and fix. Guess it would be worth it if you have a lot of things to break, but for money paid for warranty and amount of reimbursement was not worth it for me.

When you say you are going to fix something but then tell me it will be a month before you will receive a gift card for it. And I have been without a microwave for two months and that you are not going to install and are home warranty company. I will never say nice things about.

They will find every loophole under the sun not to pay for repairs. The service techs that they find to take the job are often incompetent. The good companies won't take the CHW jobs so you get stuck with whomever works the cheapest. Don't waste your money..

I only went with this company because they continued to reach out to us on several occasions and promised that would give the discount and the 1 month free...never happened! Also a lot of the contract is in tiny writing and they know people are not reading it, yes to our ignorance...the customers, but you just believe that most companies are honest

I had a frustrating experience with customer support. My service requests went unanswered, and I was told they weren't covered, which was confusing. After a plumbing issue, the repair was done well, but they left a hole in my wall and refused to repair it. This has happened multiple times, and it seems they don't consider the full scope of the repairs needed. Overall, I'm disappointed with the service.

I had a good experience with my refrigerator repair; they handled it promptly. However, my plumbing issue was a nightmare. The technician barely looked at the problem before leaving for vacation, claiming it was tampered with, which was untrue. Choice Warranty refused to cover the repair, forcing me to pay out of pocket for another company. Disappointed!

I like the idea of having a home warranty, and Choice Home Warranty is outstanding at taking my money every month, but a claim takes forever. I went a literal month without hot water and then decided to fix it myself. Submitted a claim for a dishwasher and still has not been fixed. The technicians for both claims make an appointment, then cancel, then set another one, and cancel. I realize that it is the companies that Choice Home Warranty chooses and not the actual warranty company, but they are the ones overall in charge. I pay monthly, and if I would have been in a year contract, I could not have dropped them and been stuck. I am waiting to get my dishwasher repaired, then see if I continue with Choice Home Warranty or not. Paying monthly, I have that choice.

We paid extra for our salt water pool system to be covered, our heater has always been well maintained but is over 20 years old - a plastic cap, which was old and now brittle, came off and they claimed they would not cover this as they said it was not normal wear and tear. It was absolutely wear and tear, and I had two pool technicians say so, including their own technician they sent over ! They said they didn't care how many technicians said that, they would not cover this. Then I said I paid over $3500 for this home warrantee plan and she snapped back you'd had more claims then that! NOT MY FAULT, and is that the reason they don't want to cover this claim, it certainly looks that way - we are taking this to arbitration. They are not covering the heater which is absolutely covered in our contract

They were pretty good on some repairs and a huge nightmare on others. I do NOT care to use them again as they put me through at least 4 horrible experiences including my last teair. They scheduled me 2 weeks out and then did not show. Then the company had no ticket gor the tepair and Choice put me into forever review until they reported the repair as completed when no one ever showed up to do the repair while Im out of the country. I e had to pay a lot of money for a maid service to take my Airbnb laundry to a laundromat because my dryer was never repaired!!!! Who needs this kind of hassle. The year of hell they put me through for my shower controller lost me a months rent $3000 and a lost tenant and a yeat if hell while I was traveling the world. They never fixed it and I had to hire my own olumber to finally replace the faucet that one of their 7 plumbers they sent over 1+ year broke!!!! Who wants this in their life???? Not me!!!!

When my washer broke Choice did not supply a new one but only part of the cost. That is not what is claimed when you sign up.

I heard this was a good warranty company to work with and I've been with them for while now. This was my first time reaching out to them and they couldn't help me.

I gave that score due to the fact that it was deserved due to almost a year to get an A/C repaired. I also gave that score due to the fact that you have canceled two of my requests for repairs.

CHW was the only company that gave me a discount on each service call. I have tried to make 4 claims. Only successful 50 percent. CHW will NOT repair a refrigerator ice dispenser.

Everytime I've had to use my home warranty, there are a bunch of stipulations thatcauses it not to cover anything or things aren't up to code and I have to pay a lot of money plus service charge.

It came with a home purchase. When you contact them they don't listen well and setup appointments when they've been told you will be out of town. I called the company doing the repair and made the appointment myself .

We placed a request for work on a pipe that's leaking. We thought all was well. Someone cancelled the work order or voided it. We have no idea of why and can't seem to find out. Previously I review was a five star.
