The technicians aren’t all vetted by Choice, they use a giant pool of companies. This means that any fly by night can come to your house, or in my case turn in a claim without even coming. Also, Choice has to give approval for every little part of each repair. This means that the tech has to come out multiple times for a repair and you het to take off work and wait all day each time for them to show up. My next appt. Has a 9a.m.-8 p.m. window when they will show up. I think an 12 hr. Window is ridiculous! BEWARE OF THE FINE PRINT AND LOOPHOLES & exclusions of repairs. On air conditioning work, they won’t cover FREON which is necessary for most ac work. It will cost you out of pocket around $500 for Freon. Nor will they pay for any part that uses r22 Freon on older systems. They force you to replace your entire system by saying it’s a state requirement and you get to pay out of pocket. Shame on you Choice! They also only communicate through email and tell you when the appointment day and time is at. You never get a choice. It’s chosen for you! Bad bad customer service! Choice sucks and I’m a first time customer and this will be my last. My repair has been a nightmare., has been going on for a month now and nothing is fixed. Not happy about living with no air conditioning in these record breaking temps!! DON’T USE THIS COMPANY EVER!

We loved Choice Home Warranty when we purchased it & lived in Az however since living in Buffalo, NY area for 5 years we have been unable to use it due to no providers in the area. Now that our policy is about to expire, they have a couple of company's doing the work. We will not be renewing next month for this reason.

Our central air quit working on July 22, 2022 and I contacted Choice Warranty. One week later a service person came and said the air conditioner had to be replaced. The claim was approved by Choice but the service company refused to complete the service. A second company was sent by Choice to replace the unit. This person said that the unit did not need to be replaced just repaired. He was here a August 15. He said he would come back a repair it on Tuesday. We never received a call telling us he was denied the claim. Today, August 17 I spoke with someone at Choice and was told the claim was rejected. The main reason we purchased our warranty was because of the heater/ air units. We live in Alabama and the temperature has been the high 80a and 90s. We are senior citizens in our 70s and we have lived without air for 4 and a half weeks. We purchased our second 3 year contract. We are so disappointed with the service we have yet to receive.

Does not provide coverage it states it does. States outrageous reasons to deny a claim. Then, to have your claim reviewed, because you disagree with their decision, the process is several days long. The person on the phone tells you that you will be able to email and call your case manager, but you can't. You have to schedule a 15 min phone call which is 2 days out. I have a policy through 2025. If not satisfied after my 15 min phone call, I am cancelling my policy. It would be better to put that money in savings and fix/replace items from that savings. In my opinion, and my sister's who had the same issues with Choice, Choice is not worth the money. After paying a fee for a technician to come review the situation, and then have it declined because some inane, unreasonable reason, I am better off saving and paying out of pocket. Trust me, this is what I am telling my friends as I complain about this situation.

I truly wanted to rate them lower because Choice contract out to companies who are unskilled and unscrupulous that are trying to make money off of Choice customers. Choice goes along with them and they refuse to fix problems that their unskilled and unscrupulous contractors break intentionally. At the end of the day, no matter , you will still have to pay the service fee each time they come out no matter if the problem is fixed or they need to come back. Because they are all crooked , you will have to wind up paying more than service call. Horrible. Dynamic Flow Heat and A/C intentionally broke my A/C system and told my compressor was broken two weeks after I just had a perfect tuneup with freezing A/C. Dynamic Flow Heat and A/C were called out just to unclog my A/C but he claimed the compressor went out while he was working on clogged drain. Now Choice won’t fix what Dynamic Flow broke!!!! I’m going to file a lawsuit against Choice and Dynamic Flow, etc. Dr. Art

I have made 3 claims to date. The 2nd and 3rd claims have both taken too long to get appointments scheduled. My 2nd claim was finally handled by a great company located 2 hours away. Even though I was pleased with their service I wonder why a local company was not used. Now my 3rd claim took a little less time to schedule but the technician did not come out. There was no call from said company with explanation or to reschedule. I called the company number provided by CHW only to find it was for a pool company.

I'm not satisfied with it. I bought 6 yrs upfront and am being told salt cell is not covered. I bought same warranty for the buyer of my last home and was very disappointed in the outcome for her claim as well. Considering getting money back and doing more research for another company. Very annoying to be lied to when purchasing and then denied when needing to use warranty. They won't even cover my salt cell pool equipment; You think they're going to give me anything to leave a review . That's funny. Take care of your customers and they will take care of you.

I am extreamly disappointed with Choice. I will be looking for a better option. I paid $85.00 Service fee and now they want an additional $455.00 for me to get my replacement hot water heater. I am 80 years old and live on a fixed income. I have had this policy for many years and only used them once. I also pay for my special needs daughters Choice policy. Choice has done nothing but jack her around on her heat pump repair. Choice has sent several people out but not one knowledgeable in heat pumps. I have also paid for all of her service calls.

Don't waste your money on this scam company. They will most likely fix your faucet for $85 service call fee which you could pay directly to some handyman and get the same fix, but if some major stuff blows out forget about it. Water collection pan in my AC air handler rusted and leaking water which eventually shuts down the unit. Tech who came didn't bother to check the pan material even though I insisted and put his notes that it "cracked" assuming it was plastic. CHW was happy to reject my case due to "damage or misuse/abuse" stating if plastic cracked it was due to some damage. No matter how I tried to convince them it was a steel one indeed, nobody cared - they had a formal reason to decline coverage. I heard many baseless statements from their service managers about "non-moving parts not covered", "that part not covered" etc which was lies since their agreement boldly states "all AC parts are covered if failure occurred due to normal wear and tear". What is rusting if not wear and tear? How can you prevent a metal piece exposed to water 24x7 by design from rusting? What kind of maintenance would have prevented this? Nobody cared to pick up a phone and actually call that tech who put initial notes in. Assigned case managers were helpless and miserable, not sure what their function is if they have neither interest nor power in the claim process. To wrap it up, they will make up any stupid excuse you can or can't imagine to deny your claim if it's significant.

I have been happy with with Choice up until now. My wash machine is missing a tag on it and Sears repairman can't work on machines without this tag. I tried 3 times telling a lady this in your claims department but all she would say is no they will fix it, this happened also in April so I knew they couldn't work on it. So I finally said fine and hung up. Sears came and couldn't work on it but i had to pay the $65. After a week of not hearing from choice I called back. Talked to a nice lady who set up with another company. Guess what??? had to pay another $65!! Called company back to ask about the $65 again I paid out and after 15 minutes was told I wouldn't have to pay it the next time. Usually I have a claim a year so I guess I will wait till next year before I will benefit from that. OMG it will be like winning the lottery. as you can tell I won't be recommending Choice anytime soon. Have had Choice 3 years now and two years left on my contract. Hope I don't need to use them again.

They aren't a good warranty company. The representatives have a strong dialect, and the connections are not clear. They could not get a repairman for 3 weeks and was given the option to find one. I found one but they had to contact the company to secure the slot. They said they would not. They do not call you back nor companies that you find. Once I found a company they gave us problems in completing the reimbursement paperwork. They did not provide the correct paperwork and everything is on the computer. What about persons that can't use the computer? I'm paid up until 7/25 and this is poor customer service. I'm reevaluating this.

Choice Warranty works well if you only have repairs. When an appliance cannot be repaired, they stink. The case managers do not return phone calls or emails. They don't offer to pay for the equivalent appliance. When my dishwasher broke they only offered $300 to replace it - which cannot even buy a portable dishwasher. Now when my A/C broke, they are dragging their feet, case managers are not reviewing paperwork, lied about calling technicians, and will not follow up so that we can order a new A/C when I've been without A/C for over 2 weeks in 90+ degree heat. Customer service will not give any contact info to push the case forward. Very frustrating and disappointing experience.

Choice Home Warranty is a disappointment as a home warranty company. In my 2-3years with them, I had one minor HVAC repair performed, which probably saved me a $100 at best. I had one refrigerator/ice maker repair declined by Choice, which I later got fixed on my own. Currently, I have a major HVAC problem and it has been an ordeal with Choice Home Warranty and their service technicians. I had to put in multiple claims to Choice Home Warranty regarding the problem. I paid a few bad HVAC technicians as well (their Choice Home Warranty service fee for coming out). Finally, I thought things were being handled professionally with Shammah HVAC Contractor (Adelphi, Maryland)… BOY WAS I WRONG! Shammah was the WORST! They missed appointments and called & texted me lies. I honestly have no idea if they are good technicians, because they NEVER showed up to do the work. Well, Shammah will never get my business and time again, and neither will Choice Home Warranty. PLEASE shop around for a good home warranty company if they are even worth it, but most importantly please get one with good reliable contractors. Kevin B.

I have a claim that has been open for 3 weeks and it is a leak in my ceiling. Choice has stalled, delayed, and switched plumbers 3 times because they want to find a plumber who is willing to resolve by doing spot repair. The reps that I've spoken with are not helpful and they are conditioned to lie by saying he/she is the highest person I could speak with, no return calls after I requested to speak to a manager, etc. I also asked someone to tell me what was the diagnosis of the 2 plumber's and all I was told was it's a leak, but I knew that already.

I’ve been with choice warranty for several years now and every time I have a repair it takes them over a month to get it fixed if they can even fix it. Usually people they send out don’t know what they’re doing and have to make three or four trips. This has happened at least four times on several items. I’ve complained numerous times about the vendors that they keep sending out and they don’t seem to change those vendors. Waiting four weeks and 4 visits for AC to get fixed is completely unacceptable. I had a dishwasher that it broke down and they couldn’t fix that either and they gave me the option of throwing a few hundred dollars at me which wasn’t enough to fix or replace the dishwasher after I spent thousand in the last several years between deductibles and monthly payments. The vendors are bottom of the bucket. Also, I’m not sure where they are buying all these good reviews from. I know I am finding it hard to make a review where they say they have 4 stars. So thing is very off

I was very disappointed my the service from your company for this service call. I called to set up an appointment for my hot water heater leaking. Before sending out a company you should have informed me that most leaking hot water heaters are not covered by warranty. I am out the $85 service fee and TB Plumbing will try to collect more for their service fee. They also said they would buy the water heater and install it for $915 plus the $85. A $1,000 I do not have. Fortunately I have friends in my park who can and will install my hot water heater.

The technician was outstanding both times! The first time I had to wait 4 days to recieve the reference from CHW even though I was told first that it would be 24 hours and then I was told 48 hours. The second time I needed a technician for the water heater I called the same technician and recieved excellent service for a new water heater at a cost of $1,500.00 total and I wrote a check . I called your number and had to wait 5 hours to request reembursment. I was told I would get no reimbursment. Twise I was misled. Over and over again I have had to wait for unacceptably long periodes of time to get basic services as advertised.

Stay away from Choice Home Warranty. If your appliances break down, be prepared to pay at least 90% of the purchase price out of your own pocket. Choice Home Warranty will provide you a low ball offer that would not cover the price of a basic unit. Read your contract closely, I admit, I failed to do so and learned a valuable lesson and will now pay out of my own pocket to have appliances replaced. I feel that an average consumer, would reasonably believe if a warranty company makes a statement, that they will replace an appliance, that it would be assumed that the appliance being replaced would replaced with a limited cost the customer would have to pay, not so with Choice Home Warranty. Be prepared to pay close to full cost out of pocket...

I've had experience with several home warranty companies and Choice Home Warranty is the absolute worst. Any claim is rejected, rejected and rejected again for the smallest loopholes. Only after multiple follow ups do they finally acknowledge reality and then they offer the flimsiest coverage and payment options possible. In contesting an absurd rejection I even had one of their claims specialists (Sylvanna Green-Hazel) tell me that there's "nothing more to discuss, they're not revisiting the rejection" and then hang up on me mid-sentence. Maybe they're a cheaper option than others (we took a broker's recommendation here and didn't really shop companies), but life's too short to have these people in your life. Run or skip the service entirely and save your money. If you're using these guys, it's money flushed down the toilet.

The response time from filing the claim to resolution was very long. An A/C system being out during a Texas summer, with extreme heat warnings issued, for almost two weeks is not fun. The communications blamed it on a lack of willing service companies. Perhaps a better roster of service companies would help. In addition, we paid a $65 service call fee - not $45. The repair company said that was the agreement with CHW. Needing the repair, and not wanting to wait another two weeks, we paid anyway.
