Choice Home Warranty is the best assurance to have when something goes wrong with an appliance or a system in your home. The claim process is easy and their contractors are prompt and competent. I have been with CHW for 2 years and my experience with them is A+.

What I disliked is talking to an agent that can hardly speak English, and him telling me that the service people you have work 7 days a week. My A/C broke down on Friday they did a claim right away and told me I have to wait for a service company to pick it up. And that this could take 4 hours and if I didn't hear in 4 hours it would be 24-48 hours. It was 107 on Fri, 106 on Sat and 105 on Sun I called Sunday and they told me they were still waiting. I told the agent I'm willing to bet it will be Monday because no service person is coming out on a weekend since you don't pay overtime. And Lord behold I get an email Sunday night telling me they will be at my house from 3-8 PM. on Monday. Also I received an email with a survey asking if I would recommend Air Tex. at 5;45 this morning I checked my email at 6;15 gave him a 10 and it said survey has expired what gives.

The policy was rather expensive;,however; truly worth the price. I had a leaky condensation pipe replaced, an appliance check, and now my A/C is not cooling properly. Their service is amazing and I cannot wait until the parts arrive for the A/C.

i have used Choice several times and have been impressed on how responsive they are. I probably could not reach out to service people on my own and get them to be as responsive in coming out and attending to the problem at hand.

Professional and friendly. I have just signed up. I hope I will have better experience than my current Home Warranty Co ( I have been with them 20+ years) they have progressively got worse specially after they got bought out by other company.

James was great! I already have a home warranty with Choice Home warranty, and James gave me the same deal I had in 2021. James' customer service was professional, and easy to understand pricing and what the home warranty covered. Thanks again!

I entered in my issue with my A/C unit at 10:30 am and it took until after 2:45pm before I got a response saying someone was coming out to my home. My contract says 4 hours for GA and this was almost within that window so this was satisfactory however I called a customer service rep and spoke to her about the timeliness of the response and was told you are not an emergency service and you had 24 hours to response with a contractor. I told your rep that my A/C was broke and we were under a heat warning advisory here in GA with a feels like temps over 100 degrees and that a 24 hour response was unacceptable. Unfortuantly the way your system works it appears you may use a message board and wait for contractors to respond. This definately delays service times. I was very fortunat to get a response within 4 hours and 15 minutes but the contractor said he could not be at the house until 2 days later. I took the appointment and was very lucky in that the contactor AAA heating and supply was in the area working and responded that same afternoon. The rep was friendly, knowledgable and did get the unit running as it was just a bad capacitor and then he left. Unforntuantly the unit was still not right as it took over 7 hours to cool the house just 5 degrees. I wish the contractor had done a system check before leaving. Therefore the next day I called my normal HVAC company and had them order me a new unit to be installed this Tuesday. So Choice Home Warranty did get a temp fix to at least get my air running again when I was really looking for a longer better fix. The system seemed to be running inefficiently and I made the decision at that time to just replace the unit instead of continuing to work with an inefficient unit that stll needed some sort of repair. AAA may have gotten this unit to be saved but they did not take the time to look further. Bottom line is this summer is an exceptionally hot summer I am not taking any chances with my family's health and well being.

Kyle was so helpful and explained all aspects of the policy. Did not act differently when we could not pay in advance and got us a great monthly price and the service fee is manageable too! Choice covers far more than we had imagined. With a number and a name of whom we can call, we feel calmer already.

On my side everything was efficient and timely but the vendor process for authorization was frustrating for the vendor. They were pleasant as was the customer service rep but she was asking them to resubmit for authorization. Every time they did that through the vendor portal it said the authorization had already been submitted. They waited 2 hours trying to get authorization before I called in to help if I could from my side.

John H Indianapolis, IN

The three problems I have submitted a claim for were fixed in a relatively short time. The technicians were congenial and didn’t waste time with unnecessary interaction. Unfortunately, generic parts were used to fix the problems, rather than replace the faulty parts with similar quality parts. This was most apparent when the quiet quality malfunctioning garbage disposal was replaced with a noisy Ace Hardware brand disposal. After using the disposal it became apparent that the unit’s flange had been improperly installed. Overall, CHW appears responsive when a claim is submitted. The quality of the replacement parts could be improved.

Choice will contact a repairman to fix my issue which saves me the time of searching for one. However, my ceiling fan repair was rejected and a Case Manager was assigned to my request. He called me once; have not heard from him in almost a month.

Choice has been the right choice for me. They have helped with big ac repairs done timely and efficiently even during the heat of summer. MROTZ HVAC being a service provider through choice warranty did an awesome job too. Very happy all round!

I like I can always get someone on the phone to answer my questions. I like the ease of filing a claim. I like getting help paying for unexpected repairs and/or replacements. I don't like, but I think this is standard, the reimbursement for replacement is sometimes less than my choice of replacement. I understand the policies. I like that Choice maintains contact with me and keeps me apprised of the status of my claim when a technician is anticipated to me. I like that I've used my policy for two homes and always been satisfied with the speed and fulfillment of our contract

Choice Home Warranty worked diligently to get a repair technician out to my home for furnace and AC repair. Company they hired were fantastic to work with! Explained what they were doing and asked lots of questions on how and what was happening. So happy I chose Choice Home Warranty!

Easy to start a claim. Didn't like talking to someone in a foreign call center. I had an air conditioning company come the next day for service. The service person listened and responded to my questions and concerns. Problem ended up not being a problem. Well worth the $45 service charge.

Living without air conditioning in Florida is Brutal. I reported my repair on a Friday evening. My appointment was scheduled by 11:00 Saturday morning, along with an apology for taking so long. My AC was repaired by 3:00 PM Saturday.

I’ve been happy with Choice u until they said that since my dishwasher needs to be replaced, they’d send $250 to Lowe’s and I’d need to go there and pick it out. I was assured when I signed up with Choice that any replacement would be purchased, delivered and installed and evidently that was not true. I don’t want to leave Choice but I am very unhappy with this latest development. Please purchase a comparable dishwasher, have it delivered and your nice service agent come install it and remove the old one. Thank you Audrey Cantley

I had a recent claim concerning my garage door opener. The claim was assigned right away but that is where the problem got started. As soon as the repairman got here he started with upselling telling me that Choice would not cover the problem with my opener. He did some work on the unit and it began to work again.....for a few days. I called Choice back to get them to resend someone to fix the unit. A few days later the same repairman showed up and told me I had to repay for a new service call because the problem wasn't his fault. He got rather verbally aggressive with me and I finally called Choice and told him to leave. He said he wanted his additional money right them. I told him no because I wasn't able to reach Choice and I was going to let your company make the decision. To make a very long story short, when I finally was able to talk to someone at choice they wanted to send out the same company again. I said no way. The end result was that I had to pay another service call for a new company to come out. This company saw right away that the earlier repair was not completed properly and the replacement part had already frayed due to poor installation. He got things corrected. He told me to let you know that he had been in a position to correct many repair and installation problems caused by the original company. Personally I think that it would be an advantage for all of your clients to do a better job of vetting the companies you send out to do work. I got to pay a double fee and take a lot of abuse before my repair was completed. Not good!

Thus far, I have used the home warranty service plan on only two different occasions. Each time, the service has been quick to respond to the issue presented. The service was excellent and got the job done on the first visit. Plan to continue their services in the future.

We were very satisfied with the service by Choice. The technician was courteous and professional and fixed our washing machine properly. He also explained that he would have to order a part but assured us he would also be the person to come back and finalize the repair. Great service!

The repairman identified and fixed the problem within 10 minutes of arriving to my house for $65 service fee. A service man from a different company was at my house for 30 minutes to 1 hour, charged me $240 maintenance fee, and said I need to replace the furnace for $6,700.

I was without air conditioning for 2 days of 100+° temps, and recovering from surgery. I called CHW several times, and the CSR's were borderline rude. Once the technician was FINALLY assigned, he was at my house within a couple of hours and had my a/c back on and functioning well. So KUDOS and 5☆ to Justin with Birdnow Mechanical, and 1☆ to the CSR's at CHW. Previously, my water heater went out, and I had to have it replaced. The plumber CHW sent out submitted the information, but I ended up having to pay out of pocket for the new w/h.

They were untruthful in their response to a repair service. Rather than repair the refrigerator for a 3rd time (a design flaw with the refrigerator) I requested they just given the me cash for the repair appointment and parts to use against the cost of a new refrigerator. The manager I spoke with said it was against their policy to do so, and besides the appointment and parts had already been paid for. When talking to the repair company they said that was impossible as they hadn't event billed the insurance company. They had recommended that we replace the refrigerator due to the design issue. It is hard to trust a company that says they are the best, when in fact their team members can't event tell the truth.

We picked Choice because of their high ratings and extensive plan coverage. We have not had a home warranty before, but it was paid for when we purchased our home. Our AC broke on the first day it hit 110 degrees. We called Choice on Sunday and they responded. We learned that their service comany (Sears Home Services) could not come out till the following Friday. We felt that was too long to wait given the heat. Choice let us hire an HVAC company and they came out on Monday. The condenser fan motor was leaking fluid and seized up. The part had to be ordered from Trane because our unit was 34 yrs old, and no one had it in stock. It took a couple weeks gor the part to arrive. Meanwhile, Choice sent us a questionaire and wanted pictures of the AC unit and part. They also wanted the technicians pay rate and part cost. We quickly learned that this information is not shared by most HVAC companies, including the one we hired. We called several other HVAC companies to see if they would work with a warranty company and the answer was, "No". So this caused us some stress and the technician wanted to cancel the order. On the day the part came in and the technician was enroute, we received the approval to proceed. We were prepared to pay for the repair, because Choice was making it difficult. Then more pictures and questions needed to be submitted, and in about a month the claim was paid by Choice. We believe that our experience is probably typical with warranty companies. The fact that most HVAC companies wont work with them, really limits the homeowner. The Sears Home services in our area did not receive good ratings and we think they handle most calls for Choice. We were offerred a renewal rate that is the same price as the part that was replaced.

Choice Home Warranty came highly recommended by my son, who had used them for many years. From our first experience making a claim we found CHW to be very responsive and the technicians sent were highly capable. We highly recommend them to any home owner or renter.

In the 6 years that I had your insurance, I've had a microwave handle replaced; some damaged sheet rock, from a roof leak, fixed; my stove's ignition system fixed, and a new pump put into my dishwasher. All were very much appreciated. Of course the insurance was $2100, and I paid out $45 each occurance. Your techs did a good job. I would suggest you give homeowner's receipts for the work completed. I had nothing to show a prospective buyer to prove repairs had been completed. Also appointments should be announced by texts on smart phones in addition to emails.

I like the price and peace of mind. The customer service & response time has been unsatisfactory on 3 claims— 1 on my microwave, 2 on the HVAC. They sent a repairman to fix my microwave 3 times then did not tell me it could not be repaired. I found out from the microwave repairman and then it took me another month to get the email voucher. Likewise, my heat went on my hvac last winter. Took a week to send someone. He had to order a part. Part arrived. Wrong part. Reordered. Broken part. It took 3 weeks to fix the heater. Fast forward to July heat wave (triple digits daily) in San Antonio. A/C goes out & it took 48 hours to get a repairman there. They could only give me an 8-hour window when someone might contact me but said I could call someone on my own. I spent 2 nights in a hotel & the guy fixed my A/C in 10 minutes. The Service provider was amazing. I let the microwave stuff slide bc you can make do w/o a microwave but you cannot be without A/C in Texas summers. Choice Home Warranty seemed indifferent to the emergency.

Unfortunately, I can't provide a final rating because the job isn't finished. Contractor has gone over and above anything that they can do from the technical side. Very knowledgeable and responsible.

I liked Elizabeth’s work and flexibility in order for us to communicate the changes and the discounted prices. I like the additional coverage of rust, corrosion, sediment, pool, SPA, septics, septic pumping and additional items that have been added to the policy. These items being added has given me more peace of mind.

I have been a Choice Home customer for nearly a decade. Choice Home generally covers most necessary items, however, their customer service is subpar. When a major appliance or system breaks in your home, it can be very stressful and overwhelming. To spend time waiting (sometimes days) for a technician to get assigned and then to spend additional time advocating for adequate reimbursement for appliances or waiting for parts (sometimes up to two weeks!) while being met with resistance from customer service staff can be exhausting. There are some good customer staff members, but those who are rude and argumentative spoil the lot. I continue to be a member as my home is older and I have generally had success with getting appliances replaced, but the protocols and procedures during the claim submission, review, and reimbursement process are what drive my 3 star review.

Like the peace of mind provided by the service. Dislike the inability to provide technicians in a timely manner. Still waiting for over a week (under the wrath of my wife) for the service to a dishwasher! Occasionally the service representative on the phone service is not understandable. Background noise and/or heavy accent is difficult to understand.

The value is when big ticket items fail. I had 2 bad experiences with Choice in the 2021-2022 time frame, and I was pretty sure I would let the contracts expire. I have 5 homes with Choice warranties. When one of them was ready for renewal Choice convinced me that their new CEO was righting the ship. I renewed/upgraded all 5, and the first 2 claims have been handled flawlessly. I'll let you know in another year whether this is a consistent pattern

Most appliances covered hassle free, except air conditioning. If your air conditioning goes out, the company may keep you waiting for several days before dispatching a repair tech. Mine went out in 95 degree heat and I had to call for my own repairs out pocket because I couldn't wait that long. Apart from this, most other claims were resolved well.

Choice Home Warranty is my "choice" for Home Warranties for one simple reason: They Do What They Promise! We've had them for years and have been pleased every time we need them. Go for the longer term plans, as you will save money while guaranteeing protection and not worrying about renewing. Happy customer here!!

The CSR was very knowledgeable and explained the coverage well. He was able to give me the Senior discount that AARP recommended, in addition to the July 4th promotion. I had several questions he was able to clear up. However, my one issue is that Brandon spoke too fast and talked over me, when I had questions referring to his ongoing sales presentation. I had to remind him, that I was taking notes, several times and to slow down. Other than that, he was polite at the end. I am very pleased with your extensive coverage and the price.

the original technician that came out ( may 29) was very professional, polite and clean. He said I needed a part for the ice maker and would get back to me. they scheduled for another date(june 26) then I got a message that the technician had a family emergency and they had to cancel. I have not heard from them. Also I told them there was a dishwasher leak for the 2nd appt and have not heard back.
