I really liked the serviceman who came out on the scheduled date. However we are looking at 4 weeks before the dryer part will come in. Up to this time we were really unhappy with CW—didn’t show up for appointments. Things seem to be better.

I have paid for my policy for almost 2 years or more. I went with Chioce because you covered Hot Tubs. First, the first company never showed up for the appointment and stated they had let the Choice know many times they don't service hot tubs. The second company came out once, but never returned calls and never came out. The third and latest, Gimenez Pool Services, came out and said they can't work on it until it is determined if the issue is in the breaker or the spa. I contacted an electrician to check that and he did a full diagnostic on the spa. He told Gimenez what was needed, but I still had to pay Gimenez the $85 when someone else (that I also had to pay) did the diagnostic. And now you're telling me the thing isn't covered!?!? What the heck!! I will be canceling my contract pronto.

When I called with my issue I was denied the first time. I read my contract and it stated the item in question was covered. So this delayed my repair. Need more qualified people that know what they are doing.

Choice is usually quick with a response and service. Only problem we have had,sometimes,that the vendor comes open and wants to fix issues that are not covered and end up charging us more than the Choice service charge.

Customer Service is terrible. Took 4 months to fix my refrigerator. Replaced a water heater at full price when I could have had it done sooner by contacting a local service and having them do the work. Your Company has gone from good to terrible. No willingness to help the Customer. I would not recommend to anyone and will not renew my contract. On top of that, if you talk to Customer Service, you get the run around when trying to talk to a Manager, there is no one available and on top of that no return calls, no follow up. The only thing you guys care about is signing up a Customer for a new contact and then you do nothing to honor your contract. Worst program ever. I know I won’t hear from anyone, but whoever manages your Sales and Customer Service should get involved and rebuild your reputation or be fired!!!

1.The service was slow (take some time to find the right contractor) and we forced to pay twice we were supposed to pay due to that. 2.They are only responsible for the builder's grade parts. Therefore you will see your systems are downgrading. 3.Their response system automatically and by default passes the job and the follow up to your side as far as it can. 4.You need to follow up yourself, otherwise not enough care is offered. BYW, I experienced that in some occasions they respond by phone promptly, which was a good sign but not enough. One must expect that CHW resolve the problem with slowness and to the minimum.

The company is pathetic. I've been denied a couple claims already. The latest is a simple straightforward request to repair a ceiling fan/wiring issue (the unit just stopped working) I asked for about mid-December. They asked us, MANY times, to replace the remote; the electrician and I told them over and over the remote was working. When they finally were convinced, they then denied the claim for another stupid reason that didn't make sense. This is weeks into the process, now. I appealed and the officer okayed payment for about 1/3 of the estimated cost. HOWEVER, the electrician won't move forward with my job UNTIL he's paid by Choice got at least 2 other jobs he's had with them, completed since early January! THEY just wont pay him. They told him about 1 1/2 weeks ago he'd be "paid by Friday". That was over a week ago and nothing. In the meantime, my project isn't done. He and I have both contacted them MULTIPLE times. Everyone blames the Vendor Group who handles payment, and it's nearly impossible to talk to a live person there. The appeals officer has been nice BUT he still hasn't move anything forward. Disgusting. I will NEVER, EVER recommend this company. DON'T PURCHASE A HOME WARRANTY FROM CHOICE!

We've had to use it twice. Nothing actually gets fixed the same day Everything has to be pre-approved and the service guys are sitting out in the truck for 20 minutes waiting and they finally just text me and say it's going to be a few hours at the least, then they come back a week later, so nothing gets done that day. With Choice, everything has to be preauthorized, apparently.

The customer service is just not good. They just give me the same line over and over again. I asked to speak to a supervisor several times, and they promised, but it never happened. I had no hot water and it took just about a week to get it resolved. I had to be the middleman between Choice and the plumber. They were saying one thing, the plumber saying another thing, this is just a nightmare. The overall process is just awful.

My light fixture is still not fixed. Electrician first showed up on January 22 and diagnosed the problem as a bad transformer. Choice approved the repair and electrician ordered the part and returned January 30 to replace the transformer but it was the wrong size. Electrician reordered the correct size and returned on February 6 to install the new part. The new transformer did not fix the problem and the electrician determined the problem was the light socket which requires replacement of the entire light fixture. Electrician said he needed to obtain approval from Choice to replace the light fixture. Contacted the Electrician on February 14 for an update and was told he was still awaiting approval from Choice.

I would think twice about this company. When I had service on my clothes washer, it was totalled and had to be replaced. They conveniently thought I had a top load washer so they could give me 200 dollars less. When I called them, they adjusted it. In the case where the appliance needs to be replaced, they give you an e-card from Lowe's, so your are forced to buy from Lowe's and you will not get the e-card for at least 25 days. For appliances, it's best to get the extended warranty because their plan sucks when it comes to replacement.

I am new to Choice HW after being frustrated with American Home Shield. Unfortunately, my experience is worse. I called about my oven and a technician came a a couple of days later on January 29th and said it needed a new igniter. However, the appointment for fixing the oven was set at February 9th, almost two weeks later. After a long wait, Zach's Appliance Repair in Oceanside was supposed to come between 11 and 3 PM. I tried to get an earlier appointment but was met with no call backs and full email boxes. On the day of the appointment, no one showed all day long. Attempts to let Zach's know by phone, text and email were in vain. Now two more working days later (February 13) no one has yet called to explain their absence or set up a new appointment. To boot, I had to pay $85 for the upcoming service in advance but nothing has been done. I truly do not understand why the service is so awful. I don't know if this complaint will be quickly heard by CHoice, so I plan on calling them tomorrow.

The replacement cost offered for oven that had obsolete parts was first $89, then $800, then $1080. I was told that was thee best I could get and I could not talk to anyone higher up., so I accepted that payment. The exact replacement for my oven at Lowe’s on sale is $2400 from $4400., so I am out almost $1300. When I called to cancel, I got a new person; supervisor, who could no longer add to my payment because I accepted the $1080.

I have been a customer since 2018. I find it is hit or miss depending on the situation. There have been times I was asked to find a company to service the issue since they were having difficulties in my area. This had happened more than once and negates one of the reasons why I went with a home warranty company.

The day I claimed my claim was 3 weeks ago. Today is 3 weeks, and still, they are just going back and forth between them and the technician who is supposed to fix the problem. There is a group that authorizes the technician to go ahead and fix the problem. That group doesn't authorize the work. The whole process is very bad. They are allocated technicians, but the technician doesn't have a permit to fix the problem. He has to do every step of the areas to get permission from them. To cut the hole in the wall, they get permission from them. How do you diagnose the problem? There's a leak behind the wall, you cut the hole in the wall to see the leak, right? They were, but they didn't have permission to cut it.

The first claim I had was a leaky pipe in 2023. I put a claim in, no vendor was assigned. Tried calling numerous times and the phone would eventually disconnect. Did receive responses via email. But was always you were looking for a vendor to assign it to. Ended up getting a response for me to find my own plumber and submit a claim. No thanks. Not going with Choice again.

The reason for only three stars is that the customer is not told up front that installation on an appliance is NOT covered. In most cases this is a considerable amount of out of pocket cost in addition to a prorated amount for the actual cost of the appliance. Some peace of mind but still a large amount to be paying but the customer.

Although minor claims were approved, the major claim submitted was denied. The claim for repair of my septic system was denied. Septic system repair is not a choice it is a necessity, and it has to be done promptly. It is a health issue and a violation or county code if not done promptly. Upon notice to my service company all steps were done to make repair ASAP. Choice Home warranty was called while the repair was being done and was denied because they had not approved.

Our recent service was not what we expected- the gentleman that came to fix our microwave was very nice! He indicated that a part needed to be ordered (simple solution to fix the control that you press for selection of minutes etc) our unit is a double appliance, microwave on top, oven on bottom. kitchen aid -high end unit- Choice wanted to replace whole unit or give us gift card $600 for Lowe’s ?!?! Our unit is 3 to 4 thousand! They wanted cheap solution- unacceptable!!! Ridiculous! We just needed a “part”. - sent over to case mgr. Just given a “take it or leave it “ answer. Bad customer service! Last year had similar situation with dishwasher- needed repair - said report didn’t say problem “due to wear and tear” therefore would not repair cause of wording( we ended up having to buy a new one out of our own pocket!

When I reported a problem with my shower diverter, Choice agreed only to pay for a contractor grade diverter; this would have made my four part shower/bath component group look terrible, since the parts would not match. After much dialogue and explanation of the problem, Choice offered no other option. Additionally, when the plumber indicated that he had to replace the water pipe connection to put in the new part--and have it work, Choice would not pay him. This means that although Choice warranteed the part, they would not repair it in its entirety. I was very dissatisfied with this service and had to pay--out of pocket--for the majority of the repair. In another small job, Choice hired a felon as a handy-man who fraudulently cashed my check twice--and for hundreds of dollars over the visit fee. They would not reimburse me for the latter stolen money. On other repairs, I have gotten good service and prompt support from Choice.
