If I could give zero stars, I would. There is and was a leak in my home which was advised by contractor you sent out that was INSIDE home but they had to do leak detection. My claim was denied stating they don't cover outside piping. Leak is INSIDE causing damage! Leak detection was needed to find exact area inside wall to repair. Still waiting to hear back from vendor asking with warranty company. Very disgusted and dissatisfied!

The companies they send out are sketchy. Most don't even have a website when you search their name online. And they usually have TERRIBLE reviews online. It's like they only get business through HWA. No one in their right mind would hire them outside using HWA. If you're going to pay $100 for the call anyways I'd rather hire a reputable company with good reviews.

**Basically if HWA can't fix or replace a simple microwave that should say alot for this company...*** This company sucks. Microwave latching system broke, called HWA to file a claim. They sent out a service tech, tech said it need the Microwave needed to be replaced cause parts are no longer available. HWA denied claim due to it being cosmetic damage. But the broken part is on the inside the door. If they can't fix or repair they cut you a check for a new one. I pay about $900.00 a yr for nothing... I will be dropping HWA. NOT AMAZING

Absolutely horrible ! Our realtor in Utah recommended this company. I’m guessing she got a kick back. They deny claims with out seeing anything in person. The 1800 number is worse than 90s Microsoft support. We have a few claims on average start to finish is 3-5 weeks that is a complete joke. Other companies we had 36 hours from call to work completion. I don’t know how these clowns stay in business but homeowner beware. This is not a home warranty company it’s a joke deny you company and charge you extra for service related work

Company misfiled our information and sent me down a rabbit hole of wasted time while their internal systems were broken. I called 6 times over a month and they still weren't able to correct our information so I could never file a claim. I asked the useless outsourced help techs in multiple departments for an escalation, and NEVER received a manager callback, despite their assurance that a manager would call within 24 hours. They just took our money and never did anything. Pure scam and lies. I filed a BBB claim.

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I have filled 2 separate claims, and neither job was ever completed. Both vendors said they would no longer deal with them, they got no response and no payment. I was told repeatedly from HWA that they had authorized the repair, then told they closed the claim because of inactivity. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau

I chose 1 star because there wasn't an option for negative stars. These people treat consumers as if they are less than. Rude and condescending attitude on the phone. Expected me to allow them to send someone out even though they won't cover repair under warranty. I went straight to a mirror to make sure I didn't have Dumba#% scrawled across my forehead.

In short they are con artist. Do not do business with them. My split unit heat pump system with ceiling fan coil broke. They will not cover. Because they say it doesn't have ducts. However, if you look at the agreement under heating, they cover all components of a heat pump system that heat and cools the house. That is exactly what I have. However they dont care, because they side there is no ducts. This no ducts exception is from another section and not in this component section. The only way is to sue

Its a shame i cant give them less stars. Similar to all of the other comments here this company is a joke and they will do anything to get out of paying for a legitimate claim. Even if you have a 100% legitimate claim they will give you the run around for days or WEEKS while your AC is out or your water line is broken. Both of which happened to me, both of which I had to pay out of pocket in the end. RUN do not walk away from anything pertaining to this useless service.

I bought a 1-year warranty with HWA and have been ghosted by both HWA and the technicians that they contract with. They are quick to reply to you when you ask why your technician did not show up during the appointment window, but they will not update you when the technician reschedules. My technician has rescheduled without notifying me a few times already and HWA tells me that they have the "best availability." I am glad my home has had no other issues because HWA does not care for urgency.

I have been trying to get a part ordered to fix my washing machine. They have been reviewing the claim for weeks and have yet to authorize the claim. I have called numerous times, waited on hold, had customer service tell me its under review. Then I get transferred to the Resolutions dept. They tell me they need to check on claim. I'm put on hold and after several minutes they either hang up or send me back to the customer service queue to start over again. This has now occurred 5 times over the course of 10 days.

Absolutely atrocious customer service. They hang up on you themselves, or put you on hold and after 20 minutes of being on hold their system hangs up on you. Service companies hate working with them, so HWA often makes you front the money to the service people and file for reimbursement from HWA which is a hassle and takes weeks to be reimbursed. Horrible company, would not recommend to ANYONE.

I have been with HWA for 7 years and every service claim takes forever to get completed. There seems to be a lack of contract workers to get the job done. My hot water has been out in my home for almost week due to an issue with the shower head and they are not able to find any available contractors to take care of the work. I feel as if this is why I pay you every month on time to have contractors to take care of an issue with they happen. I should not have to continue to wait for a repair when something happens. This is bad business to me. I will be switching companies very soon.

Made a claim on April 18 and as of May 3 no repair technician has shown up. Following up on the claim simply got me to a call center person who only had WAIT to say (in a snippy way).

What is there to say that has not been stated in other 1 star reviews, - once I stop pulling my hair out. I have never seen such an inefficient company, lack of customer service, phone hang-ups, and transfers that get disconnected. A better grasp of the English language would help. Even knowing my contract was up for renewal, it didn't change getting 2 questions answered. I could write in detail my specific situation, yet it is very redundant of most reviews written here.

They will try their best to scam you out of paying in full for any claim you make. Our a/c went out and they said it was going to be WEEKS until one of their service techs could make it. They recommended we hire a local one out of their network and that they would reimburse for the cost. Weeks later, after asking for a bunch of information over and over again, they said they WOULD ONLY PAY HALF THE BILL because we didn't use their tech (which was upon their direction).

Our centra air was not working properly so we called HWA. They sent a contractor who told us it needed to be maintenanced and then he would come back to service if necessary. Two hours later the entire system stopped working. It took 5 days for HWA to send a second contractor. Now we have been waiting on approval for a week. The company refuses to allow you to speak to a supervisor. They continually tell us the claim is high priority. First the timeframe was 24 hours, then 3 business days, but still nothing.

This company looks for ways not to cover repairs or make them cost prohibitive to have them fix. 2d issue I filed a claim for—first was not covered, 2d would have them tear up brickwork (at my cost), fix an outdoor faucet then walk away—they don’t cover gaining access or repairing surrounding damage they cause. This results in multiple contractors involved with the lion’s share of costs coming from homeowner’s pocket. Coverage came with home purchase—DO NOT BUY outright!

If you do get a response on your claim they have horrible contractors they send you because (as I found out from a contractor I had to hire outside of them, that use to work with them) they are an awful company to work with on that side as well.

No enough contractors which makes it a long wait to get things fixed for your home. If you choose to use a local contractor - HWA has to approve - to expedite fixing the problem getting reimbursement from HWA is almost impossible. The worst customer care I’ve ever encountered. The last two claims I made turned into two complaints and settled through the BBB.
