A Todd Freeman

Not happy with “Choice” sending repair person. After 6 days and they couldn’t find anyone they told me to find someone and they would reimburse. The cost was $160 for diagnostic. Now they say they dont pay for diagnostic if we use our own. If they found someone they would have to pay them. They gave us no choice but to find someone to come out.

CHW got started on our claim immediately. They hired a great plumbing company to replace our faucets. When I spoke with representatives of CHW, they were very helpful and polite.

First off I'm losing water by the hr while all this goes on for a month. Initially choice sends out this extremely incompetent supposed plumber that doesn't even go under the house to see the leaks. I complain enough to get a second opinion. Which were competent but slow on reporting back to choice. Then choice declines the claim all because they mentioned something outside the house. Even so they should cover what is inside the house! So furious about this whole ordeal. Dealing with this a month and just end up screwed. What do I have warranty for again!? The right thing for you to do is still cover the house and not the outside. Whether it means a new quote from the plumber or whatever. This isn't right

I liked the quick response when a claim is completed online. I did not like fact that I was given an additional charge for a repair when it was indicated on the way that it was covered. Although the cist was minimal it should be clearly indicated in the contract. Overall for the most part it is worth having in the end.

It took forever to get the part I need for my hot water heater, but they kept the comminication open and kept me informed about the status of my part, so TOMORROW they will finally finish and I'll have hot water again!!!

Bill Spencer Medford, OR

They left me without heat for over a week. Said they couldn’t find a technician. I found one in two hours to diagnose the problem. Control Board was ordered. Same technician installed it two days later when it arrived. House had gotten down to below 50 degrees. Entire family was freezing!!!!! Now I have heat and just PAID THE $600.00 BILL MYSELF!!!! $125.00 Labor and $475.00 FOR THE PART. NO COVERAGE OR PAYMENT FROM CHOICE HOME WARRANTY!!!!! BETTER TO FIND MY OWN TECHNICIAN, THAN HAVE MY WHOLE FAMILY FREEZE!!!! I had spent over $2,500.00 for coverage by CHW no response to emails or calls. WILL NEVER USE CHW AGAIN;; HOPE AND PRAY NO-ONE ELSE DOES EITHER!!!!! TOTAL RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

I needed to use the warranty to fix a drip in the shower and it was fixed promptly. I would like it if the service calls were more convenient hours, because I do go to work and don't really want to take a day off from work to get something repaired.

I've had to use the warranty 2 to 3 times, and it's just not very responsive. The last time on my dishwasher, it took about 7 days. They lied when they showed me the contract that specifically said that I would have someone in my home within 24 to 48 hours.

I have attempted this survey several times and for some reason it does not go through. One of the things I don’t like is a survey that does not allow you to submit a basic response without having to elaborate!! Perhaps it would be simpler to ask numbered questions!!!

I put in a request to have a previous work order reopened because the repair hadn't been done for 30 days by N& T Services on January 15th and I still have not heard from this guy. I have even texted him myself. He know that he messed up on the job, so he won't respond. I have emailed Choice Home Watranty and haven't heard from anyone. Is this how you all treat your customers? I am about to get rid of you all. You all send out contractors that do sub-par jobs and charge a service fee and then don't respond to the customer.

Samuel Davis Del Valle, TX

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! So sorry years ago we bought a 4 yr contract with choice- be glad when it’s over!

When putting in a claim it would not let me talk to a customer service agent. It keeps putting me through automated prompts when I needed to talk to a rep about an ongoing issue. When I keep having an issue with the same appliance, I am forced to pay a trip fee every time the tech needs to come out to fix it again.

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.

Picked contractors out of my geographic area which increased response time and follow-up for subsequent issues that might arise. If you opt to hire your own contractor then their reimbursement is less and makes you use their guys. This involved a replacement of AC system. Very disappointed in how it was handled!

In order to settle a claim, I followed the instructions of a customer service given over the phone. Apparently these instructions were somewhat different from the official version and did not get reimbursed for the money I paid for the work to be done Choice Warranty should have reviewed my case in a business like manner taking in consideration the information I got from their representative.

I wouldn't get it again. I put in a claim in August, and they came again today. This is the 4th person that has come. One didn't come because you didn't pay him. I've paid twice to have it repaired. Nobody ever changed that around. And then finally they got Sears here today and they have to order two more parts. That was August and it is now January and I still don't have an oven.

We don't ever get any customer service. We had one good experience lately, but the rest are either you guys schedule an appointment and nobody calls, or it's just like a random time. So you're kind of held hostage to when they're coming. It's not a very good system.

The last time I used them, it was a good experience. The guy called to make sure I was home. He came in, he assessed the problem, checked it out and took care of it. But when I had my water heater replaced, it took him almost three weeks to do it and the guy that did it left a line that is twisted.

You change the price and don't notify me. I've been told I was sent an e-mail and I did not get the e-mail saying that the price was raised. I think there should be some type of notification to your customer before you change your price.

This was the worst home warranty company EVER. They would literally send anyone out no matter their experience level. I had someone come to my home smelling of marijuana, I had someone lie and say they fixed something that they didn’t. I was double charged. The appliances in my home are on the higher end some of the techs just weren’t familiar and the time choice did a pay out it wasn’t even enough to pay shipping for the appliance I needed to replace. I had a pool tech come out, he was great. Other than that NOOOOOO DO NOT DO IT. Not to mention it took weeeeks in the middle of summer for them to have someone come out to address my air and I was pregnant. It was unbearable. When someone finally came out they said it was one thing wrong… then came out again and said it was something else. Oh and I had a guy hang up on me because he was late and when I asked what time he would be there he couldn’t handle it and had the worst attitude in the world. I have that one recorded. I really wish I could list my phone number and just go over every reason you shouldn’t pick this company but I can’t. Just take my word for it please!!! American home shield was better but my new home is over 10k square feet so they couldn’t cover it.

I am a Property Manager for several properties. My owners are out of California and I have worked with them quite a while. They have 100% faith in anything I recommend. Our experience with Choice Home Warranty this year, has been horrible. It's interesting, how different it is, to speak with the "Sales" people, that sell the policies as opposed to the representatives that handle the claims. The majority of the claims were denied and those representatives did nothing to try and help or process a claim. It's extremely obvious, Choice Home Warranty trains the representatives that process claims, to do whatever is possible to make sure a claim is denied. I've worked with Home Warranty Companies for over 15 years, I've never had claims denied, until this year, with Choice Home Warranty. Choice "sells" their policies by offering lower prices than most other Home Warranty companies/policies. I would advise people to know, why the Choice Home Warrany policies are cheaper. It's because they don't intend on processing most claims, they plan to deny as many as possible.

The amount of time it takes just to get a service technician out is ridiculous. Combine that with Choice Home Warranty's AWFUL customer service and their poor communication (twice now they've said a technician was scheduled only for me to find out the day of the appointment that no tech was actually scheduled), and this has been a hugely frustrating experience. I'm currently over two weeks into having a non-functioning kitchen faucet because CHW failed on the first appointment scheduling, had a tech come out to confirm the faucet needs replacing, and I'm still currently waiting for the tech to come back for the actual work to get done.

Only because of all the denials. The plumber Denizas was the best. There's room for improvement. But it is worth having a home warranty, it takes the hassle out of worrying especially when you get approved for the service.

The appointment was 11-3pm, the tech arrived at 9pm. The diagnosis and feedback from Choice said the AC was to be fixed. Based on the diagnosis and age of the system, I agreed that the leak warranted an AC repair, either by replacing the air handler with a certified used or a type of patch that could be done with the coolant drained already. Instead, I waited all day and lost a day of work for a tech to simply refill the coolant without fixing the known leak. The previous fill lasted 3.2 months, so this will be an ongoing expense for Choice, why not make the fix more permanent? The system was installed in 2014, it's 10 years old.

Eva Louisville, KY

Claim was filed. Rep stated it needed to be broken up into 3 claims so she canceled mine and submitted 3 separate claims. All 3 were approved. Company assigned the wrong type of technician to a claim which was 4 days after the emergency (sewage) was reported. Customer Service Rep stated I could get repair done and would be reimbursed because they had problems finding a service tech in a timely manner. I did so and the company refused to reimburse me stating "you did not follow the rules . You did not submit a claim, a claim was not approved, the repair person did not call us prior to fixing your problem therefore it is not covered." So my original claims were all APPROVED, but because the rep resubmitted, sent wrong person, canceled that claim and never entered another one to cover my emergency I was left with a bill in excess of $900 vs $75 service call fee. I requested over 5 times to speak with a person in management and have not been contacted.Deceitful, irresponsible and poor customer service. If you make a mistake own it, learn from it and move forward.

Water Heater stopped working so called choice to schedule a technician to come out. Choice sent out a technician who was approved by choice to swap out electrical breakers. The technician did it incorrectly and it caused an electrical panel fire to occur a few days later which could have killed my family and myself if I hadn't smelled the burning wires and ran into the garage to check. Called choice to have a new technician come out and fix, choice denied the claim saying they do not fix overloaded breakers even though they were the ones who sent the initial technician. I had to pay out of pocket $2500 for an electrician to come and replace the entire electrical panel.

Was misled from start, a scam in my opinion. Will not cover 100% if repair. Took 5 days and still no service call and I had to get someone out here and they did not pay difference of service fee plus they called it a reimbursement when they could not honor the 24-48 hour guarantee in contract. Will be cancelling after I receive my reimbursement check just to pay cost of a water heater replacement. Their so called hidden replacement cost guide that they pay for appliance repairs or replacement is not available to us to see...bunch of BS and finally their Customer service personnel can can't speak english well enough to understand, had to get to a case manager before I could clearly communicate with them. Took 5 days for them to get a tech iut for sump pump failure disregarding the water in my basement and would not allow me to get a local company out quickly or I would have ti pay the total cost.... Beware of this company total scam artists
