I've had several times where things just went South and they did the absolute best they could and I appreciate that. I came home from being away for a while and my air stopped working and it was like 80 or 90 degrees. So of course during the summer it's hard to pin people down, but they worked very hard to get someone in here. The people they work with were wonderful and tried to make sure they did it as quickly as they could.

I haven't had any problems, you know when I put in the ticket I get a response right away. If they send me two people I just select the one I want. I tried to use my warranty for my garage and I had to come out of pocket, and it's because they didn't explain to me that it doesn't cover the wiring or something else they didn't cover, but everything else they covered.

They're very, very easy to file a claim. Easy to to communicate with them through e-mail and fairly fast response. Just recently, we had the air conditioner system go down and stop working, so they contacted someone within 24 hours, and that company called us. We set up a time for them to come, and they approved all of the repair items, and it was done within a few days. I've had no no reason yet to be unsatisfied, so. And then I've I've had them since 2015 and made probably maybe 4 or 5 claims and it's always been good.

I had two claims and the feedback and time that they got back to me was unbelievable. I could not believe that. I called in again because I wasn't available and they got back to me within 3 minutes via e-mail. So I was very impressed with that. I had the problem with my A/C it was leaking to my house. They sent the people out there and they fixed the problem within like 15 minutes.

Anytime I've needed to reach them, I've been able to reach somebody at a reasonable time and I've received communication and follow-up. If I ever requested something, you know they provided what I requested. I had a problem with my dryer and so my dryer was covered by the insurance policy, and they responded, the technician came out, and then they attempted to replace it. They weren't able to replace the part, so they actually reimbursed me and gave me the money to purchase a new one. I've had excellent experiences over the years I've been with them for probably at least 11-12 years. That's why I continue to pay my monthly fee. I'm not a handyman do it yourself person. So knowing that I can get things repaired at the monthly cost and the the home visit cost meets my budget.

I'm going off of our most recent claim and they were very responsive. It was cleared up and handled and over with in 48 hours. Our air conditioning stand stopped working in the middle of this heat wave on Sunday or Saturday and we called Saturday and on Sunday we called right away and registered the claim and we had a response from Home Warranty on Sunday and they had a technician out here on Monday and it was fixed right away. They approved the they had to replace the fan and they approved it right away and it was done.

I believe it is one terrific company! Online claim process is quick and easy to accomplish. Telephone representatives are friendly and professional when I need to speak to them. They get back with a service repair tech within 24 hours. When a repair service is not available, I live in a rural area, I can get my own and they work with me on that as well. Just can’t say enough great things about them.

I was very impressed with HWA this holiday season. My hot water heater went out on the night of 12/23/2023. I called HWA on 12/24/2023 to place a claim. A vendor was assigned within 2 hours! The vendor came out the morning of 12/26/2023 in the morning, took pictures and sent them to HWA for approval. By early afternoon the claim was approved by HWA for a new water heater. A new hot water heater was installed on the morning on 12/28/2023. All I had to pay was the $75.00 initial fee to the vendor then $300.00 for the items that were not covered by HWA like new faucets, hoses etc. Everything went so quickly and smoothly I was really impressed.

The sewer start backing up and I had to call to have someone to come and unclog the the sewer. He was very professional. They got right on it and sent someone. He did a great job. He left the house clean after of what he did, which was great. Then I had to use it for a shower pipe that was leaking in the basement and that person was the same, very knowledgeable, very professional. He came and he soldered the pipe at first it still had a bit of a leak in it. He came back when I called him and he fixed it, he came and replaced the the pipe. My experiences were were good, even if when it was something still going on they came back to fix it to make sure it was right. So that I appreciate it.

They have been very cost effective and reliable. The response Is very timely. You can follow up on the website which makes it easy to track where things are with the client. My ice quit working and they got a tech out within that week and the tech was very friendly and honest and tried to repair it and the first time they worked on it they didn't repair it. But at no additional cost they figured out what was broken and fixed it, and it's been great ever since. I feel like the people that they contract with are very honest and trustworthy people and they call you very promptly and work with you to set up an appointment. So it's just it's just a really user friendly company with people who truly want to solve the problem

They refused to replace my dishwasher pump because the wheel on the tray was broken, so it's not covered. So I buy a new dishwasher, thanks to them. Now when our refrigerator needs to be replaced, it's been 3 weeks and still nothing in a poor company.

My claim was canceled, and the company didn’t even do what they were authorized to do. No one even reached out to talk to me about why I’ve been paying money for years and they didn’t cover my claim. I looked through my policy and it was not specifically listed, therefore,it should not have automatically been Closed

HWA is responsive but the companies they contract with are not the best. I could actually self insure / save the monthly cost and have things taking care of instead of going back and forth for 3 months without resolution.

A lot of the customer service reps are hard to understand because they don't speak good English, so it's kind of difficult to communicate with customer service reps sometimes during the process.

I had no heat. When the temperature here was zero, I waited 4 days for somebody to get back to me, and I had no heat in my house and we're in our late 60s. And I just moved here 3 months ago, so I bought a house but now was in this repair and waiting 4 days was unacceptable. Then when the person came, they had to leave and evaluate the situation. So I was still without heat. My warranty will be up in July and I would never recommend it. I'm telling the realtors to not use it either, it's not a perk, and it doesn't help the new homeowner at all.

Recently I was scamned by HWA. They made me pay a double deductible by splitting into two one claim without talking to me first. I made an e l ectrical claim and after the technician told them the cost involved, they decided to split the claim into 2 to force me to pay 2 separate deductible in irder for me to pay 2/3 of the total cost. Too bad.

The people you send out here are uncooperative and don't want to come. And when you do a payout, you do it in a very, very small amount. I'm a realtor and I cannot in good conscience recommend Home Warranty of America to my clients.

I had a claim about plumbing work, it was misdocumented by Home Warranty of America. The plumbing company that selected the job came and collected the $75 and took off. No report was submitted to the home warranty. The claim was stuck, not moving forward at all. I called to follow up the customer service said 5 different things. Once they said they would reimburse me my deductible amount. Another time they said they will close the claim if no report was completed within 3 days. I called after 3 days to alert the home warranty to either escalate the problem or close the claim. So I can find another company if possible and pay out of pocket and get reimbursed. The home warranty refused this method because they're an assigned technician. Although they didn't do anything. It's claim no. 4 now, same minor plumbing work order that is being postponed and played over and over.

First claim. Took three weeks to get resolved. I had to call several, and the only way I was able to talk to someone I could actually understand or who could answer my questions was to tell the foreign customer service representative that I wanted to report him and/or cancel my policy. Then, only the repair was done. The damage the unresolved problem caused is on me. Thanks for all the headaches. Hopefully, you will do better next time.

When you ask some questions about how the process works, they give you the run around. The one time I had a leak, they sent out a plumber and he came and gave an estimate and then he was supposed to be back two days later - he needed to order parts or something. He never showed up and they wouldn't let me get my own plumber. And that took another three days. So in the meantime, I have a leak.

I used it for my garage door and it wasn't working so they came out and fixed what they needed to fix on it. They are sometimes hard to get a hold of and they don't always provide direction appropriately. I had some issues with that, but I would say overall they're okay.

I gave two stars because it took the 3rd repair person to come to my home and tell me that he had to order the parts. When the two before him came out and said they had to call HWA to order the parts and send them to them 🤔. But anyway the 3rd repair person said that he would order the parts as soon as they approve 🤗. But i got a text message that said that they were replacing the refrigerator, and it would take 30 days 🤔, I mind you this was back in October 4th when I reported it to HWA and I'm still having to wait 30 more days and I am still waiting for the e-card for Lowe's to purchase the replacement of my refrigerator and it's Thanksgiving next week 🤔

I had called Home Warranty that my water heater was not working after returning home from a 2 week vacation. The plumber sent out by Home Warranty stated that he could not fix it as it was an electric problem. I then paid the company the $100 co-pay. I called Home Warranty again about my water heater and this time an electrician was sent out. He fixed the problem. But I had to pay a second $100 co-pay even though it was the same problem - my water heater.

First, I’d like to say, I’ve had home warranties for 25 years now and HWA was the best one and ChoiceHome Warranty was by far the worst. What I didn’t know is that Choice has bought HWA. Over the years I’ve needed several repairs and a couple of replacements. The only time I’ve ever been denied is when I had Choice. I’ve never had any problems with the other companies including a furnace replacement in a previous home. So, this time when my furnace needed to be replaced it took 5 weeks to the day from when I filed the initial claim til the day the new furnace was installed. This time frame is completely unacceptable. I live on the Illinois/Wisconsin border and it was October, so it was just “uncomfortable “, but what if it were December? We wouldn’t have been able to stay in the home and probably would have had many other problems, like frozen pipes etc. Even with the approval to replace it, it still cost me $1334 out of pocket for “non covetable costs”. I still think a home warranty is a good idea, but now that I know Choice owns HWA, I will be moving on to a different company. Choice is all about their bottom line not customer service. Denied claims and delays like the one we had as well as the things the require of the contractors before the will cover a claim are ridiculous.

I put in a claim needing a plumber two days passed and I never got a call from somebody confirming they picked up the claim. I was offered the ability to hire my own plumber and I'd be reimbursed for the service. So I hired my own plumber he got me fixed up I paid and submitted the information needed to be reimbursed. But there was no reimbursement. I was told the way the plumber worded his report he left out that he snaked the cleanout which ultimately cleared the clog and only put that he snaked the vent. With that being the only thing he put home warranty wouldn't cover the claim. I guess I should've kept waiting for somebody to pick up the claim through home warranty. But who knows how long that would've been.

Starting the process online was very simple and smooth. The website was not so intuitive to be able to track the status of my claim. Whoever they used was flexible and helpful although it got scheduled initially with no contact to me and what I had going on. I did have to call HWA to get them to move on an approval the repair company was waiting on. Overall relatively pleased, although my dishwasher still does not work 100%. It wasn’t working at all, now it washes but does not seem to dry the dishes well.

Too many unnecessary inconveniences. For example, I want to repair my A/C was off, so I had to spend four days without an A/C in the home because Home Warranty of America kept asking for things that they didn't need. For example, the HVAC was low in refrigerant, the refrigerant you cannot find in state, the R22, which is banned. And I say they have a look at evidence of a leak, and then they ask for the video of the inspection of my home, which on your website that is not required, but I have the inspection and they just kept asking for things. I mean at a point they ask for the video from the technician after he submitted all evidence required. That's kind of the thing that for me was weird. They provided you with everything you ask and now you want a video when you know there's not a video. The technician was great. He did a great job, he's very professional. They kept asking for things which were not possible. Thank God the technician is knowledgeable with the warranty company, so he knew how to handle it.

HWA responded to our call quickly and professionally. A company was chosen to do an evaluation and the technician found the problem quickly and efficiently. The issue was not as bad as it could have been. Our A/C only needed a small part. Unfortunately, the technician did not return that day with the part. We had to wait the weekend and it was on of the hottest on record. On Monday, the issue was fixed to our satisfaction.

I have called numerous times to try to get a copy of a receipt for the purchase of the air conditioner and I'm told for whatever reason they don't provide it. I paid for it and the only answer I could get is that I could use my credit card statement to prove I paid for it which is ridiculous because every company provides a receipt for purchases.

They were recommended to me but I did run into a couple of issues. I thought my freezer was going to give me some grease and I called on that and they said we didn't have that coverage and I said yes, I did. Well, and I did have my paperwork showing that when I started with American, with Home Warranty, but somewhere along the line when they updated something they had taken that part off. So the person I talked to and I made all my notes so I have access to her was the resolution department and she went ahead and she got it taken care of for me to where it was put back on. I had actually taken it out originally to make sure I had the extra refrigerator and freezer covered. I'll stay with them for a little while. If I need them and they can get the service out here that I need, that's great. But if I run into any issues because of them, I will find another company. There are others out there.
