DO NOT USE CHOICE HOME WARRANTY!!!!
They do a great job selling their warranty service and do an awful job addressing claims. Since signing up with them in 2017, I have used them for two major repairs. The first with my washing machine took more than 4 weeks to get the issue resolved. The second just happened with my water heater and took three months to resolve, not because they fixed the problem but because they sent me a check when the technician they sent told me Choice Home Warranty (CHW) had failed to cover the original problem the technician claimed to have fixed but did not work. CHW kept scheduling the same technician and rescheduling as the technician did not show up. After following up twice with the technician and being told the same thing that CHW had declined to solve the problem, I insisted that CHW assigns the job to another plumber. After another week or two of waiting without CHW assigning the job to another company, I insisted that I be allowed to hire my own plumber, which CHW eventually agreed to. By this time, my claim had been pending for 2 months already with no hot water in my 6-person family home. Eventually, I got a check settlement, which cannot replace the water heater, if the initial diagnosis does not fix the problem. Meanwhile, they failed to mail the check as promised. After three weeks of waiting and not getting it, I called back and made a note on my account, which forced them to send the check. I made sure to make accurate notes on the claim and took screen shots of exchanges with Choice Home Warranty in case you need supporting proof of this complaint. CHW should also have the threads of what I copied on their website under my claim.

the man you sent from landrum enviormental was a true pro. How ever i paid for your top plan that said it would cover air condition. the air cond coil was leaking refrigerant and had some rust .Your solution was put a sealant in the line which will not last. its like putting a band aid on a gunshot wound. you puled a sneaky trick, said because of rust we will not replace the coil. THE AIR COND. COIL IS THE HEART OF THE UNIT. .So you took my money but would not fix the problem. Don't expect me to give you a thumbs up. Any one who ask me a bout your service I will tell them that you will find away to weasel out of the contract. and I will post on line how you cheat people. Iam also going to send a letter to our attorney general to see if they can do something about the way you refuse claims

Unable to submit claim online. Website apparently wasn't working. Called my claim in. Sent a technician out the same day, he fixed my issue with no problem.

It will be two weeks at least until I have a working microwave. It seems he knew the problem before he got here. Why are the parts more readily available? In today's world 2 weeks to get 2 parts seems unreasonable. So why have the warranty if service takes this long. Took 5 days for an appointment now 2 weeks for parts. No microwave for 3+ weeks?

It appears there is always some caveat. When you read your manual it appears to be covered, but when it gets down to it, it’s not. Also I believe the contractors that you hire are not necessarily the professionals. The only person I was impressed with was the re-key guy. I took out a special policy for the pool and spa, which included switches, which is a breaker box / switch in electrical terms. But it was not covered, and I was ripped off $65. Which I went and purchased a box and installed it myself for 70. I would welcome a phone call from you guys as I think constructive feedback is important for your future business. Today I had Oasis LLC, out here to fix a leak under the sink, which they did. But my faucet apparently has a leak in the cartridge. They said it would be covered under the warranty but it would require another appointment. Which to me means another $65. Not sure Choice Warranty is worth the price.

This company advertises to "Repair or Replace" any covered item. This is simply NOT TRUE! The ad should say repair or help lessen the cost to replace. For our built-in dishwasher they are offering a Lowe's ecard for $246. Please tell me how I am supposed to replace the dishwasher and have it installed for $246. As a disabled person I am unable to do the installation myself. I have checked Lowe's website, and built-in dishwashers start at $336 and in store they start at $369. So they are not replacing it as they advertise. I real bait and switch scam! Of course if you ask them they say you need to read the small print in article 8 of the policy. A total joke

Too soon to tell The plumbing co was excellent. Great service and prompt repaired quickly. The choice says well maybe we don’t pay for this. It was interior. If it was exterior the Assoc would pay for it. I’ve been very happy with choice so far and even recommended people. So we shall see where this goes

We purchased this warranty right before we bought our home. When we purchased it, we were told that all of the systems would be covered under the total plan so we paid extra for it. Two weeks ago our A/C went out. The tech checked it and replaced a fuse. It went out again 4 days later and he came back (for another claim and service fee) and said it had no refrigerant. He submitted the claim and it was denied saying the unit was not broken due to “normal wear and tear”. When i called the appeals department, while the employee was very nice, she just kept repeating the same thing and said it was a final denial. Now I am out the money for a warranty that did not protect me when I needed it AND out the money for an A/C repair that should have been covered. Only giving one star because zero stars is not an option.

The first offer for replacement of warrantied appliance was WAY TOO LOW - appealed and agent was merely reading from a denial script and did nothing to change offer. Totally dissatisfied with offer as it was 1/3 of our cost to replace the appliance!!!! Needed money right away - agent said she would email me and never did. Rip off!!! Both of policy purchaser and me as client!

I would actually give Choice ZERO starts but that is not an option.
I moved into my house in July 2020, they were happy to sell me a policy knowing that my HVAC system was 15 years old (and I live near the sea). They sold me a 3 year extended policy for $1600. I am now over a barrel.
Their vendor came to service my unit for the summer and said it needed $5000 worth of repairs, they also gave me an estimate of $5200 to replace it.
Choice has approved the repairs with the exemption that their were no pre existing conditions. Choice has never been to my home so how do they know what condition it was in?
Please don't buy a home warranty, it just creates lots of stress, fear, and anxiety.

We have never really had a problem with Choice. When something breaks in my home we call and they send a technician. Sometimes it does take a couple of days for a tech to agree but other than that I would recommend.

Annual Premiums and Service Call Fee are cheap, compared to the competitors. Best value for the money. Sometimes we get a bad technician or a bad company. Need to check for those, before doing the actual job. Waiting time is long on a few occasions.

I moved into a new house and the previous homeowner had Choice Home Warrantee. The warrantee turned over into my name and I purchased an additional year since it was expiring soon after I moved in. This year we had many problems. Dishwasher broke, boiler was not working properly, a few plumbing problems, and a leaky roof.
I made about 7 claims in total and Choice Home Warrantee covered essentially nothing. They gave me a small payout for the dishwasher but claimed all the rest of the issues were not covered. They would not even cover a leaky pipe even though their policy claims they do. They said they don't cover "corrosion". What else would a pipe be leaking if not for corrosion?
Anyway, after having Choice Home Warrantee and a house that needed a great deal of work, I've come to the conclusion that you will never ever get back the cost of the warrantee in services from the company. I understand that this is how they make money, but the expectation is that if something goes wrong, your have insurance to cover you. With Choice Home Warrantee, this is not the case. You are much better off putting $600 into an account each year and using that money to pay for your own repairs.

Since we live in a rural area, the technicians you have submitted to me are from approximately 60 miles away. First, I pay for the service call. Then, if you approve what the technician tells you, I get to go out and buy a new water heater. Then, I have to pay for the installation. In the mean time, we have to check into a local hotel to take a shower, etc. I'm not a happy customer of your.

When calling for questions re claim, I was disconnected by two different agents. With the second agent I requested a call back if we were disconnected. She assured me that we would not be disconnected. However, we were disconnected and she did not call back. The third agent put a call into a supervisor to call me re my concerns that my ceiling fan replacement was a $29 fan with no light attachment, a builders’ grade fan. When I talked with sales, they said that equipment would be replaced with comparable equipment. I live in a luxury hi rise condo building, that has high end equipment, including ceiling fans. Why does the small print in exclusions for ceiling fans override this? This is my first claim after having coverage for two years...very disappointing. Why should I pay $60 service fee plus $48/ month for such poor coverage? BTW, the supervisor has not called me yet.

My experience with Choice Home Warranty has been HORRIBLE to say the least. First claim denied. I guess I should have told my shower to not break until I had more time into the warranty coverage. Called to question why considering the amount of money I'm paying for coverage and the retention specialist convinced me to give them another chance and since money was my issue, cancelled the additional two years and would refund me the second payment I had already paid and cancelled the third/final payment. He also said the next two service calls would be on him since I had already paid $500 out of pocket for the repairs. Second claim. Technician asked for $65 fee. I told him it should be noted that Choice is covering it but of course it wasn't noted so I had to pay as it wasn't their fault Choice didn't cover the fee as promised. Called Choice back to see why and there was NO note of the next two service calls being on Choice and was educated that I, the customer, need to call when the tech arrived and requested Choice cover the fee. This retention specialist fast talked all over me when I was trying to explain my situation and let me know that he would note the next free service call when it should have been two. Not to mention that the second claim denied as well. Another $65 fee down the drain in addition to a bill of $6,500 out of pocket to have my unit replaced. In my personal opinion, Choice is a waste of money. If you don't have a new house you're lucky if they cover any claim with the excuse that it's normal wear and tear that occurred before the policy period. It's pointless.

WHEN I WAS A NEWER MEMBER I CAN SAY THAT CHOICE TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING AND IT WAS REASONABLY PRICED FOR THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDED BUT ALTHOUGH I HAVE STAYED WITH THEM SOMETHING HAS CHANGED WITHIN THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICE AND THE COMPANY HAS STARTED LACKING IN BOTH PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY TO THE CUSTOMER.

The service to file a claim was good and the technician hired was very good when he got here but it was scheduled a week out from wen the claim was filed. This was not very pleasant and couldn’t be changed. I did try both the call center and the hired vendor was booked up.

Called about a live wire at my house in the yard sparking and smoking. The call was answered very quickly and I was satisfied with that response time but when the schedule was made for a technician to come out, it was more than a week out. I had to call the company themselves and arranged an earlier time.

A good way to hope to cover items in my home. But, in reality, a company that finds a loop hole to get out of paying out any money to help me, the policy holder.
Your technician thought the wiring between the thermostat and the HVAC system needed replacing. He thought we would have to knock out walls to find the wiring defect. WRONG!
Choice refused to pay anything toward that repair/replacement. So, screw the policy holder. No further action needed. Full Stop.
What Choice should have done was to send out another tech who would have found the problem is probably the defrost piece in the outdoor unit. It is covered by the AC Warranty for parts. That would have made this policy holder much happier.
How can I cancel this policy and get a refund for the time not used?

It's OK. I would not ever purchase again. They fix the small things but will try everything to get out of fixing something. Out of the 5 or 6 claims I've had they have only paid for 1. They say they replace the component with a like model but tried to only give $250 for a washing machine. I told them to please send me the link to that washer so I can purchase because there is not one on the market for less than $750 with the features ours had, the increased to $500 and said that was the max. Giving 2 stars because their portal is nice and easy to set up claims through.

My experience with this claim was terrible. I was denied the ability to find my own provider when CHW's selected provider could not come out for 5 days. I was then assigned another provider who did not respond to CHW in the 6 hours allotted. A day after I asked for permission to find my own provider. I was told I could find my own provider. I was unnecessarily without a washer for 2 days. The provider I called came to the house within the hour and fixed the washer immediately. For some reason CHW was unable to find a provider and I found one by a simple google search for providers in my area. I spent about 5 minutes, it took CHW 3 days only to allow me to find my own provider.

Placed a claim for my heat pump (5 years old) - Choice’s technician did not show up at the scheduled time, did not answer calls or return messages. I called Choice the next day,,which was Saturday, and was told by a representative to call back on Monday. I live in Florida and at this point my AC had been down since the previous Tuesday, I emailed Choice at that point and told them to cancel the contract and issue a refund. I heard from a “manager” a little while later telling me to get my own technician and Choice will reimburse for the repair. I did that, it ended up being a refrigerant leak, the cost of the repair was around $800. It’s now a month later and a constant loop of incompetent people asking for a information about the charges, I send it, then they ask for it again. I believe they have no intention of paying claims, or only paying very small ones. They hope to wear customers out with requests for information until they get tired of it and walk away. I would make this rating a zero if I could - Choice Home Warranty is absolutely worthless.

Your claims service and your organization is nothing short of a joke. Every time we have a claim, it is NOT covered according to theTerms & Conditions. I am sure that this is by design in that, you have a team of experts that have determined what components in the home are most likely to fail, and you have excluded these from the warranty. Contrary to what is written in your brochures, and contrary to what is stated by your sales personnel, you are NOT a customer service—oriented organization, Instead, all you care about is the bottom line, and you make great effort to screw homeowners every chance you get. You are a homeowner “DISSERVICE” organization. I will be canceling our contract ASAP, and I assure you that I will be passing this information on to ALL of my family, friends, and acquaintances that I have encountered—areas include Knoxville TN, south-central WV, middle TN and west TN.
Given the level of your customer service, you must get similar ratings to this one constantly. Given the quality of your customer, I would wage a sizable bet that realistic ratings like this one never make it to your website.
I have tried to describe your company and your service as sincerely and accurately as possible, and I will stand by my feedback to the end.

I signed up online yesterday. Today I received a call from a salesperson saying that he wanted to offer me a lower rate, as the online registration gives a 'computer generated version' of the quote to which he can provide a better offer. He asked for my credit card number. When I told him my credit card was already charged, he told me that he couldn't give me the lower rate and he can try forwarding me to customer support. After waiting 14 minutes on hold, I explained this to the representative, who told me that they would need to forward me to another department. Then I was hung up on. I will be looking for a way to get out of this, as I have already had a bad experience after 1 day.

Unfortunately this is the worst customer service experience I have ever experienced. First, after the diagnosis of my clothes washer, CHW made the decision they wanted to replace my washer but only offered $343.00 in e-gift card to replace it therough Lowes. I declined the offer and elected for a phone appeal. They put me out 10 days to have the phone appeal and it would only be for 15 minutes. After waiting 10 days for the appeal, the rep I spoke with was very uncaring and appeared to to be simply reading from a script. I wasn't asking for CHW to replace my washer with a top of the line unit but I did think it was fair to replace it with a comparable unit. I have a Maytag and the least expensive Maytag Lowes carries is $700.00. Not only would CHW not consider that, they would not even consider the least expensive wassher Lowes carries which is an Amanna for $500.00. After no cooperation from CHW I simply said to send me the e-gift card. They said they would send it to my email. I waited two hours and had not had any reply from them. I emailed them asking when I would receive the email with the e-gift card because I had already been without a washer for two weeks and I needed to get this resolved that day so I could go to Lowes and pick a unit out and pay the extra amount out of my pocket in order to have a washer. Again, I waited three more hours and never recieved any reply so I called CHW. After speaking to a rep and describing the situation, they stated I would have to wait up to 30 days before I would receive my e-gift card by email. I expressed how unacceptable that was and asked to speak to someone to expedite the situation. After being placed on hold for eight minutes, I was hung up on. I called back and after speaking to another rep, I was told I would be contacted within the next 24 hours by a supervisor. Well, I am waiting to see if I am contacted or not. It has been 20 hours so far with no phone call.
All this from a loyal customer of 3.5 years who has also just signed a renewal of my cntract for another 6.5 years. All of which I have paid upfront, not monthly payments. Needless to say, based on this description so far, very disappointing customer service is an understatement.

This company rarely covers anything that goes wrong and is strict, even with the total plan. One time they covered a minor tub drain clog but that was easy and likely covered most by the $45 service fee. A second time a toilet reset was all that was covered and I could've done that myself and saved the fee. Ive been with this company for 7-8 years but have had no return on value and have got to the point where I just youtube and learn or find a friend to do the minor things they actually do cover. Good look with anything major!

I appreciate the low cost and the options for better discounts for longer terms, however, during the sales pitch I was blatantly lied to. I was told there is no month to month billing, but then as I denied the last offer, Gerald quickly said oh we'll just put you on month to month then. Not a good way to start.

Amy was very nice and helpful,she left me a message yesterday and I returned her call today.I was thankful that she didn't hound me by calling umpteen times which is one of the reasons I decided to call her back.

Filing a claim online works well. The wait time for a repairman is beyond acceptable, especially when a critical appliance like your refrigerator is not working. It's hard to do without your refrigerator for over a week. I would say that priority should be placed on a customer's refrigerator.

The technician was excellent, knowledgeable and professional..
I was disappointed that the service was not covered by my Home Warranty plan.
my 6 yr contact with you that my air conditioner, water tank, etc. had to be almost unrepairable for you to pay for repair.

I was dissapointed in the amount that was offered to me for my front loading xtra large tub washing machine. I checked and I would have to buy the cheapest machine that they have. I hate doing that. Im used to washing my comforters and rugs in that.

I just called to cancel my warranty (as the monthly fee plus service charge always costs more than what it would cost me out of pocket) and the employee wouldn't listen. He kept saying, I understand, but you've been a customer since 2019, think of how much it's saved you. He wouldn't listen when I said it hadn't, wouldn't listen when I said I found a friend to help with my most recent claim (which they still hadn't found someone for) and kept trying to say they'd cover $150 of the appointment, even there was no appointment because it's being done for free (and it's just a drain that needs to be snaked). I finally just kept on having to say "I would like to cancel my plan" repeatedly and he kept say, I understand but...Then he finally snapped and said: Fine! You aren't getting a refund (I didn't ask for one) Have a nice life! And then he hung up on me. One of the worst customer service interactions I've ever had.

Our agent Gabe was very personable, as he offered several options and their benefits. One of the most efficient and expedient people we have worked with ever!

I paid in advance for 3. I have only had them for almost 9 months and recently had to use them for the first time last week. Worst experience of my life! They sent a company to my home to repair the AC. The service tech was quite rude and ended up turning the power off to my unit. He did not mention to me that he had turned the power off. So when I went to my hallway to see what the temperature was in my home, I noticed that the thermostat was off. I immediately called him and he responded that he turned the power off. Why would you do that without telling me? I told him that he will need to return to turn it back on and he informed me that it will have to stay off. At this point, he did not have a date for his return. That night, temperatures dropped into the thirties and I was unable to turn the heat on (which was working properly) for my dogs and my two children. We ended up having to go somewhere else and spend good night. Same thing the next night. They finally called two days later and came out to fix the AC. They left after 20 minutes saying it was completed. I left the unit running and before you knew it, it was over 77 degrees in my home. The AC was not working properly. I had to call the company back and tell them to send someone back to my home to fix it properly. They came back and discovered that they left the wires outside unplugged. Very unprofessional. I called choice to complain and a manager stated that he would put a free service call on my account. When I called back to let them know about my experience with the company they contracted with, the manager who answered my call at that time stated that there was no note on file about a free service call. She stated that if he said that, he did not know take the file. I have absolutely no confidence in anything choicehomewarranty says to me. I am highly disappointed in choice. They have not told me the truth on one call. In addition, they knew that my unit is under warranty and that all parts are free for 10 years. They charged me for a part that they get for free. Now, I have to fight to get my money back for the part and they are telling me they can't send me a receipt. How can you not send me a receipt when I'm covering the charges? I hope that they quickly change their policies or they will not be in business long. They are awful. I would not recommend them to my enemy.

Don't believe in this company. They will only take your money. They can't find technician or vendors that want to deal with them. They'll offer reimbursement but will pay you basically nothing. They'll make money on ponzi scheming customers. Once you figure out the y are scam and decided to cancel because they won't fix and pay nothing. Cancelation fee will be deducted and any small amount they paid you. You basically going to pay on your own and get stress out. Two things you will waste1) money for sure 2) time for dealing with them. Remember Don't believe to pay you more than you paid for less Cancelation fee. They are hoping for no claim for this business. So if that is what you want go ahead and sign up. You will be a fool. I guarantee you.

This company is horrible. We've only had this policy for 2 months and we called to repair our dryer and a sink faucet that broke. Both claims were denied. They said that our dryer was broken before the policy was active so they won't repair it. It wasn't even broken. The dryer still works, it was just louder than normal. The guy they sent out didn't even look at the dryer, he came, took a picture and left. The same with the sink faucet. They said that the faucet handle broke bc of a chemical leak. The faucet handle broke off due to wear and tear. We called to complain and they gave us the run around.

It seems like you spend a lot of time in communication but action is lacking. After five days of waiting with a drip that moved to two places, I searched and called for someone to come fix it. Your requirement for them to call you and get approval was met with resistance. this plumber did not want to work that way. If you could have gotten a plumber here, I would not give you such a bad rating. The fact that you have no technicians available, especially for plumbing, is a problem.

I had filed a claim for a leaking bathtub faucet on 11/20, they kept telling me that they were waiting for the vendor to submit their invoice after they came and made their assessment. I spoke to the vendor more than 6 times to ask them to submit and they said they had but choice kept saying why never received it. Well I decided to do a 3-way call and come to find out Choice had received it but want the vendor to give a lower bid. Which they had lower twice and choice was not satisfied. I about lost it and told choice I was recording the conversation, which I was. Miraculously they fixed it 48hrs later and I received a $482 water bill because of the lies and lack of consideration for their customer. Just so you know this was the ONLY claim I had filed for the entire year. They are horrible and will no longer trust them.
