Lisa Akron, OH

Unfortunately, there was not much I liked. The service provider that was chosen was not logistically close to me and when I called customer service none of the info I was given about the service provider matched up or was accurate. Ultimately, I was allowed to pick my provider. Unfortunately, the amount that CHW provided was nominal. My bil came close to $900 and only $169 was covered. I was completely underwhelmed by the whole experience.

We called Choise for the repair on my Maytag washer on Tuesday and they had a repairman out here on Wednesday. Very happy with the quick response to fixing my washer.

My refrigerator went out just before Christmas and when I called, they said that the appointment would be the following week and that was unacceptable so I had to get someone locally. I was told when i signed up that i could find my own repair company if you couldn’t get someone in a timely manner. Was thinking of cancelling my contract

Richard Elkhart, IN

After furnace man sent in his quote for the furnace repair Choice turned it down. Rejected it. The bill he sent to Choice was for $230.80. I had to pay the bill before he left. I gave him a check for the amount he asked for. Then I get a email and it said the the “ claim is authorized for $230.80” What kind of BS is this . You would not pay the service man but I can for the same amount he asked for. Now I have to wait 30 days for reimbursement check to come. But when I signed up for Choice Home Warranty they took my money right away. It’s been 27 days so far and no check.

I disliked the poor office responses to my last request. I also had no replies to a couple of requests I made online which caused me to contact the home office in New Jersey. Then the manager from that office resolved my issues quickly. so the outlying office personnel need to do a better job.

The company did give us the choice of what to do with our appliance. But what I wanted was for them to FIX the appliance, not just allow us to buy (at a reduced price) a new one.

The response to getting my refrigerator repaired was fast. The actual repair took a month with parts ordered. Of course I could not live with ice cheats for that long. I had to purchase a new refrigerator at my expense. Not happy.

Well I called to get my icemaker fixed that is in my refrigerator the technician came put parts in and it didn't fix it, he said he would get the parts it needed and he never came back. Now I called today and she said it has been over 30 days and the guy that came to fix it she said would not come back. And now if I want them to send another technician I will have to Pay another $65. I am not happy about this.

1.After calling me non-stop for 2 days I finally agreed to listen to their pitch. 2.From the first word out of the sales person mouth I now have seen how I was lied to about what they do and what they cover. 3.Told if my appliance could not be fixed for any reason it would be replaced with the same or comparable product.LIE 4.Was talked to rudely by the Service Representative.

The tech would not return my call after what he fixed started leaking again. Water started spraying all over the back wall, rotted my wall and wood trim. Ran under my hardwood floor and now it is curling up. Not happy at all!! My husband had to fix all the damage that was caused. I called Choice and they said they were not responsible even though I'm paying for drywall repairs.

Jim Austin, TX

As a homeowner and full time real estate investor for more than 40 years, I purchase and utilize real estate property warranties on both my investment properties and my personal home. I currently have two rental properties and my personal home "warrantied" with Choice Home Warranty. Of all the warranty companies that I have utilized (and there are many), Choice is by far the worst. I will NEVER purchase another warranty from Choice. I would sincerely hope that anyone who reads this will take heed and avoid Choice like the plague. Choice initially sends a vendor for the problem, but when the vendor asks for approval to repair a problem, they are almost always delayed, delayed, and then refused. I am currently waiting on approval to "snake" a stopped up toiled. I have been waiting for more than two weeks. I told the plumbing compant to please proceed and I will pay out of pocket. Had a dishwasher that the tech advised replacing. Choice allowed $246.00 to purchase and replace a dishwasher. There are NO dishwasher that can be purchased for that price. When I appealed, I was told that Choice had a source that would sell them a dishwasher for $246.00. My reply was great, send the dishwaser, Choice then asserted that they would not purchase the dishwasher. I offered to purchase the dishwasher. Choice refused to tell me wher such an item could be purchased, only asserting that they could purchase it. But, they refused to purchase it. Customer service is beyond bad. Worse warranty company that I have ever used.

Worst service in terms of actually getting claims resolved on time. Choice shows no initiative to want to resolve open claims timely and when you have to call they repeatedly say “we’re waiting on the technician to complete or submit all necessary documents”. I don’t know why I have to be the one to proactively chase down the technician and the warranty company to resolve my claims. Choice sadly to say also has some of the worst contractors that bid on your claim once its open, making your experience a not so great one. Some Contractors also tend to express their frustrations with choice, saying how difficult it is to work with choice which in-turn makes it difficult for them to be timely with my claims. I guess i now understand why choice doesn’t show the initiative to want to resolve my claims timely. I also have had a rude encounter with a claims manager to spoke to me in an unprofessional manner. This lady seemed to be upset with me because i wanted to cancel my policy and not take the check she was offering due to my claim not being resolved.

Choice Home Warranty promises a lot, but in reality offers very little. They figure out a way to not pay for things. They make you think that when your old washer dies, you get a new one, but in reality they just offer you a Lowe's gift card to cover a portion of a new one (the contract says they have to give you cash, but you have to actually ask for that, they offer gift cards). As far as big ticket items, they make sure that every part that might break is listed in their excluded list. When you call to dispute a decision about your claim, they have managed to hire the rudest people in the world. In my area, the vendors don't even want to work with Choice anymore because when they do a repair, choice takes months and months to pay the vendor.

When technician was leaving, I ask him his name. He had a problem giving me his name. He kept giving me the company name. He finally gave me his name Vinor with great hesitation. He told me he was from Russia. I don't know why he was hesitant.

I had a tiolet leak. The company they sent out came looked at problem. Told me CHW does not pay them well. Anyway, he charged me 65.00. And never came back. CHW sent someone else. They also charged me another $65.00. I requested a refund cause it was their error sending me a company first that did not follow through. I will not recommend CHW. Even though I'm locked in until 2025.

I liked the technician but I do not like the company Choice Warranty. I think they are a big rip off and will never recommend them to anyone. I was very excited when purchasing the plan because of the peace of mind I though I was getting. The man who sold me the plan said there was a $65.00 copay and if it couldn't be fixed I would get a brand new compatible item. Well my ceiling fan went bad and it was nothing short of a nightmare. It was finally resolved after about 4 months and then 2 weeks ago my top of the line Samsung washer would not spin and drain so I called for an appointment. Mike from Sears service came out and diagnosed a bad water drain pump. He checked on the part and it was unavailable. A few days later Choice Warranty sent me aa email stating they could not get the part and my washer would be replaced. I was offered a cash buyout for about $340.00 or I could request a replacement. I filled out the form for a replacement and was assigned case manager Lydia C, I called her and she was unavailable and I spoke to another case managed who reviewed my washer features and came back with a whopper offer of $479.00 for a top of the line Samsung washer. The offer was not ever half of what it cost for a new washer compatible to my washer. After a lot of arguing I asked to speak to a supervisor and she said she did not have a supervisor and she was the top person. After a lot of frustration I was realizing that this company is a BIG scam and there was nothing I could do so I accepted the offer and she said she would email the gilt card to Lowe's. I started to search for a washer at Lowe's and fount one on sale for $698.00+tax+delivery+++. After waiting about 2 hours I called Choice Warranty back and the customer service rep said it would take 4-6 weeks to receive the gift card and it was only good at Lowe's which is 40 miles from me. I wanted to buy one at Home Depot which is 4 miles from me but she said that it was Lowe's or nothing. So we've been without a washer for 3 weeks now and have to wait 4-6 weeks for a Lowe's gift card. When I purchased this plan the man said the appliances were covered up to $3,000.00 each and if the appliance could not be repaired they would get a new one. The lady at your customer service said they NEVER get and replace an appliance, The replacement is ALWAYS money for the customer to use to get a replacement. This whole experience has been a TOTAL nightmare

You guys are crooks! You denied an A/C claim. You say leak of Freon is because of rust and corrosion. You wouldn’t authorize a leak test so you have NO clue where the leak is. Tubing is copper and aluminum which resists rust and corrosion. The leak is in a valve which is not rust or corrosion. But you don’t know that because you didn’t authorize a leak test. Tech did one for my so I know it’s a valve leak. Tried the appeal process, stated the facts and still denied. If I could put no stars I would. I work in real estate and I will tell every agent I work with how big of crooks you are. Can’t wait to do an online review of your crookedness.

I have been waiting 4 weeks to get my dryer fixed. The washer after 3 weeks was not fixed but replaced. That definitely didn't even begin to replace the replacement and we bought a smaller unit for less money than I paid 5 years ago. A mere 343.00 is just ridiculous. I called to talk to Victoria J and got a Tanya. She was just a dry rug to talk to. I never did hear from Victoria who was supposed to be my contact. The review was not acceptable as I never spoke with Victoria and their was no way to convey this. The Tanya was not a good representation for Choice! Not at all happy with Choice and most likely will not be renewing after being with them for years.

The last two times I've called, great people have come out and I have been satisfied. But I will never forget that Choice would not replace my hot water heater. They said they did not replace only would not fix it. If it was not fixable, I was out of luck. I had to pay out of pocket plus the service fee. I will never forget the situation.

I was not allowed to use my own provider without sending in pictures and multiple documents. I had to do that because Choice Warranty could not send anyone out for 3-4 days!!! My provider does not work with any warranty companies because they are notoriously bad to deal with. It was 56 degrees in my house, and Choice Warranty didn't seem to care that my furnace was not working. I sent in all of the information for my own provider to perform the necessary repairs and get reimbursed, but I got NOTHING from Choice Warranty!! I hate this company and will definitely find a new warranty company once my contract with Choice is over. They were terrible. Please post this feedback!

They took 3 weeks to approve a leaking water heater,. Then they refused a claim on my garage door opener because I did not get pre-authorization for replacing it. But it was an emergent circumstance because I was unable to lock the door and secure my garage and home so I got it done and submitted it after. They didn’t even consider it due to their policies.

It takes way too long for them to find somebody to do your claim and the people that do the claims seem like they are not licensed at all. I think with them having this type of service that they do they might want to include television sets and DVD players and stuff because the stuff that they do include it takes forever for them to get somebody to fix it

I spent hours talking to 4 different customer service personnel explaining a request for garage service and requested one of your vendors that had serviced a garage issue last year. I was told that the system would assign the vendor that accepted the job first. I told them that I had contacted the vendor and vendor agreed to take the job once he saw the job posted on the portal. CHW assigned another vendor and didn’t give the vendor I requested an opportunity to accept the job. I was given different reasons why CHW wouldn’t accept the vendor I had requested. I cancelled the job and asked to speak with a Case Mgr. I was told I would have to call back in the morning since Case Mgrs. were gone for the day. I was given another claim no. by the 4th c/s person I spoke with and said that I would need to call the vendor I requested and that I would be receiving an email confirming the vendor, date, etc. I did receive the email again naming the vendor that I had asked to be cancelled. It is obvious that your c/s personnel did not pay any attention to my request. I have been a client for many years and have had many contracts for all my homes which I pay in full for 3 years when the contact term is renewed. There are many other companies that provide home warranties but I have remained a loyal client and expected better service than what I have experienced.

The last claim was taking care well. However, the previous one was a horror show. I made a claim for an item that was supposed to be covered by my contract. It was a small 2” shut-off valve leaking on a pipe in my basement. I sent photos of the pipe, the valve and the location of it. The contractor that came looked at the valve (you can look it up for who the contractor was if you care) . And asked me for the $75. I told him that I will pay after the job will be done. He refused and asked again. I gave it to him. Then he called his boss and told me we have to wait for an approval from you and his boss. The answer he gave me in about 30 minutes was that you did not approve the job and he have me an estimate of $550. Then the contracting company owner showed up. I asked him for the $75 and he refused saying that the $75 is for tjem coming out. That they get paid from you only $75 and used a lot of arrogant and abusive words to me. They left, I called Home Warranty and spoke to an agent saying what happened. I was told that the contractor wrote the valve was on a pump ??!! that is not covered. I again explained referring to the photos in their possession explaining that actually a pump does not even have valves on it. But they said that they believe the contractor and not me, another word called white, black. When I start explaining again, I was stoped and was told that mo matter what I will not be covered, whatever it is. Then I asked for chat meeting and the 2 gentlemen that called me was less then mice and also said they are on the side of the contractor. At that point I was sure that the Company always find a way not to cover. I am almost sure that the $75 was paid to the contractor twice, by me and the Company. As far as myself, how can I again trust this company. I had to call another contractor and got this fixed for $200. The contract does not say, by the way, that if the job is not don, the customer still meeds to pay the $75!

I don’t think I should have had to pay the second company another $65! The second tech told me that the garbage disposal was improperly installed by the first tech and it was the reason I had trouble with it again. Please check the remarks of the second company and refund my money!!! If you don’t I will not recommend choice!!!

I am not having a good experience. It was cold when the water heater went out which is considered an emergency, especially when small children are involved. I didn’t receive information regarding the technician until a little more than 36hours after I filed the claim. I am also having to email CHW for equipment status update. Usually my experience has been good, but this time it is not.
