The only thing I dislike is the time it takes to get someone out. Or having to wait a month to receive the money to replace my refrigerator (still waiting, actually) It is not fun living without a major appliance

For one it covers my pool pump and filter. Great price. Only used 1 time for my stove. No problems getting issue taken care of. However, very disappointed in how long it takes to get final resolution. Four weeks or longer to get check or e certificate for replacement is ridiculous. Other than that no issues so far.

The website is very slow. I was having a problem with my furnace and it took 3 days during Sub-Zero temps before a service person called me. He was very good once he showed up, but it was uncomfortable not having a fully working furnace that long in those temps.

My niece in another state is happy with them. I had them come out last year for a problem with my freezer…I was very unhappy until finally after 3 separate workers came out & were unable to fix the problem. Then a lovely young woman came out & solved it, ordered the part & came back in a few days to install the part. This year my oven wasn’t working & they sent a nice man out. He took it all apart, went out to his truck replaced the part & was finished in an hour. Thank you!

Moved into a new home and had multiple issues. Support was quick to respond and service started promptly, but explanations were vague and unhelpful. A plumber gave an estimate, then failed to return and I wasn't allowed to arrange my own, leaving a leak unresolved for days.

The reason I gave a 4 star, I believe there is always room for improvement in any business. Not to say that you're not working each and every day in those areas.

They responded promptly to my request, but the phone agents were hard to understand and often asked me to repeat myself. When my furnace died I relied on the warranty, and everything was eventually resolved.

So far the service has been great. Just need patience when they are replacing an item and sometimes you end up making a purchase to replace items that are a bigger deal to you like a stove that was red flag by the fire department for CO2 but when you put a claim the company says it’s fine so you follow your instincts and replace it after having two issues with it. But overall they are ok.

Home Warranty was great. Very professional and timely service. My issue is with the locksmith who used to not duplicate key for my main garage entry into the house. He only gave me one key. Now I either have to change the deadbolt entirely or find someone who will duplicate the key. Very frustrating for a typical deadbolt into the home. He also refused to reset the front door combination and referred me to YouTube.

Our plumber did come and opened the pipe according to him temporarily. He said we could either do a hydro pressure cleaning or replace a cast iron pipe somewhere under the house in the crawl space. Both are not covered by the warranty company. Now we are not sure if for real they are not covered or? I need to be connected if possible especially I don’t want to pay another deductible again to find out.

I chose HWA for the coverage I needed at great rates. They were much appreciated help for a pool pump and fridge break down. Unfortunately their monthly rates have gone up too much over the past couple years & I'll likely have to drop them soon due cost.

The response to my claims has been quick and appreciated. My issue with my washing machine has taken longer than anticipated and instead of replacing the broken machine, I’ll be on my 5th service visit with no promise it will fix the issue.

I've had a policybsince 2019. Easy company to work with. Premiums are reasonable. Great response time. Minor repairs or replacements have not been an issue. Typical insurance/warranty with the big items. I have the top policy plan with the extra rider to cover the 'not typical' items and replacing my heat pump system still cost me $3000. Used the excuse of new government regs etc. instead of honoring the policy.

I had a mixed experience with customer service. While I appreciated their initial response and the technician's visit, my ice maker broke again shortly after being repaired. They set up another appointment but didn't come prepared, citing it as a common issue. I've had trouble reaching them for updates, as calls often go unanswered. They need better communication and availability.

It’s a 20 year old refrigerator and instead of replacing it was decided that $600 ish for repair was acceptable. Plus tech fees. Approved only after HWA questioned whether the damage was done by a power surge and was told there a surge protector. Not only that our entire house has a surge protector so that’s never going to be the issue. I feel that it should have been replaced since the compressor has issues. Not the problem this time since the control board was replaced.

I had a frustrating experience with customer support, as it took longer than expected to resolve my issues. I also used my warranty for a washing machine, but I was disappointed with the compensation, feeling it didn't cover what I anticipated. While they did pay for the washing machine, the overall service left much to be desired.

I found the customer service somewhat challenging to reach at first, but once connected, they were responsive. I had a toilet issue and called for help; they sent a reputable plumber who fixed it easily. However, I faced another issue with my garage door opener and had to pay a co-pay again, which was a bit frustrating.

Some of my Technicians and companies were good, and some weren’t . A recent garage door repair company was great. Knowledgable and did a good job. However, last year I had a bad experience with my ice maker repair. 3-4 times to repair it and order parts and it still didn’t work

People are great, however, I had to pay my co-pay twice for the same repair. A week after someone came to fix my A/C it started doing the exact same thing. Another company came out, I had to pay them another $85. They fixed it! The first trip was a waste of my money. I believe I should be refunded for the first charge.

On my last claim the plumber that was sent out said my main drain was cracked and Hwa denied the repair. I had another company come out to get a second opinion and they where able to clear the drain and didn't find any cracks. The drain is flowing smoothly now. Because of bad service from the company Hwa sent out I lost out on $100 deductible plus I had to get another company to do the job and I had to miss a day of work. I was also notified that my monthly rate and deductible will be increasing so Because of that I'm going to be looking for another warranty company to go with.

I've had a seamless experience with Choice Warranty and my property management regarding home repairs. Issues have been handled efficiently and timely, making the service worth it. However, compensation for major problems could be better. I faced recurring issues with the air conditioning, and while repairs were made, the compensation for replacement was insufficient.

I've had mixed experiences with the warranty service. While some representatives were helpful and explained processes well, I've faced long delays in getting technicians for urgent issues like my hot water tank and toilet. Some repairs were incomplete, and I'm confused about what is actually covered. Overall, improvements are needed in response times and clarity on coverage.

I've had a good experience with HWA. They responded quickly to my dishwasher leak, sending a technician who fixed it in just a couple of days. However, when my washer broke, the offered solution wasn't what I wanted. I preferred a flexible coupon instead of a store-specific one. Overall, their service turnaround has been impressive, but I wish for more options in compensation.

I had two service incidents with my washer and dryer. The technicians were friendly and resolved issues quickly, though the washer part broke again due to company policy. Customer support feels automated, and I haven't spoken to anyone in years. The appointment scheduling has improved, but updates on my replacement process were lacking, requiring me to check frequently.

I had a mixed experience with the service. They were efficient and answered my questions promptly during a vulnerable time. However, there were communication issues on my part. I faced a plumbing issue with a warranty claim; the initial vendor dropped out last minute, but the company scrambled to find a replacement quickly. Overall, they resolved my issues, though not without some hiccups.

It was really just sort of a series of an unfortunate event, but we called in two or three things. Over a period of time, it was just misunderstandings, but they had a feeling thing I needed replacing. It was the heater in the bathroom with the exhaust fan. And so in trying to get that sorted out, my sister got sick and died and I just couldn't call him back or go online or do any of the things that I should have been to follow up. But, then they just closed the claim and that was frustrating. We paid somebody $85 to come and look at it and I just started over. Part of it was my fault, but part of it was their fault as well. They do send people to come and fix things and so far, although one of them has been capable and done a good job and you know, so I still don't have a heater in the bathroom, but I think someone's working on it. So we'll see how that comes out. It seems like they have a little bit of trouble communicating, but I have a 3-year agreement with them, which I can cancel at any time, and I don't plan to cancel it.

Today when I called them, the nationality of the guy that spoke to, I could hardly understand him, he knows English, his accent was so strong. I just couldn't hear everything he said, and that's not uncommon. It does seem like they have some technicalities that are deceptive. For example, I had a water heater replaced, and the guy gave me a quote and everything was fine. And they said they'd cover this much. And I go, "Why are you not paying 400 and some dollars?" They said "Because of the pan and the other thing. " It was the pan for the water heater and the two types are like $30. And you replace, to get take them apart and replace them anyway. So basically, they had a technicality written into their contract that allowed them to charge 400 and some dollars for $25 worth of work or product. And it's just a way, a deceptive dishonest way of not paying for the water heater. Then they did the same thing on my furnace.

I have maintained my HWA warranty since I moved in 2015. I have had a few instances where it has been very helpful in finding a qualified person for a repair while being responsible for my deductible of $100 only. I have an important comment /suggestion: When submitting your claim request, be VERY detailed in what the problem is, what your concerns are. I say this because the company Service person that accepted the HWA claim request, that comes to your home can ONLY correct the exact problem stated on the Claim # you were assigned. If the service person feels there may be a bigger issue to deal with, it would be at the homeowners expense if the service person goes over & above. The service person cannot really suggest additional repair. I experienced this with a plumbing issue, Pipes needed rodding as opposed to just having a kitchen sink backing up, but a kitchen sink backing up, was what I reported to HWA. Had I been more detailed & the claim was written up with my detail, it would have eliminated the need for the 2nd visit after 8 days. The plumbing company needed to come back out 8 days later & treat the 2nd service as a new claim causing me to pay an add’l $100 to the plumbing company to rod out pipes which was part of the initial sink back-up problem. Both plumbers did what was needed both times, they worked hard, one left at 9pm on a Saturday as an emergency call after the other rooms had sewer back ups. Just a word of advice, so far the problem seems to be solved, I have to assume there are no broken pipes underground, the last plumber explained what he did should have corrected the problem. Lengthy review, but sharing this for others using the home warrant service. They are very good, just be detailed!!

Generally overall decent experience with home warranty of America. However had some experiences in which the warranty did not cover certain expenditures as a recent plumbing and dishwasher claims in which I incurred the total cost of repair. Also my garage door a few years back it replaced only the springs and I paid over 600 dollars for a new motor and recently paid over a 1000.00 for another new motor. That being said they covered a part for my heater/furnace and have helped me in other instances. I had to replace hot water rank 12 months ago but decided to go through the manufacturer without contacting HWA. I think as a homeowners insurance company they attempt to do their best generally. Have had some negative experiences when calling. However some good ones as well

I’ve placed 3 claims with HWA in the two years I’ve had the contract. The first two claims were handled to my satisfaction. I am having some difficulty with my current (3rd) claim. It is difficult to get in contact with the repair service. They don’t answer their phone. The message says the mailbox is full and you can’t leave a message and there is no option to send a text. All it lets me do is send my phone number with no message. Very frustrating. Finally The technician came on the day scheduled. All he did was record the serial number and tell me they would call to schedule the repairs. I paid the 75$ service call bout shouldn’t have since he made no repairs and I don’t know when the work will be completed. I called HWA. The representative was very helpful and explained the claim had been approved and the technician is waiting for parts. It would have saved time and frustration if the repair company had made contact with me and provided that information.

They're pretty attentive, they're pretty responsive, only have one vendor that I really didn't didn't care about. But overall, that's internally, it's great customer service, great support. I've had to call more than one and they were just always willing to to help get resolved to whatever issue I had. The latest one was for a leak in the air conditioning. They sent someone out, they called me when they had had the problem locating of a contractor. They gave me a solution in case I couldn't wait for them to find the contractor. I ultimately just waited. And when they took the contractor out, it was great service, great contractor. And the response to the claim was quick.

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 did have one professional who kept having to reschedule and it was a bit frustrating on my end, but when I called Home Warranty to follow up on it, they immediately followed up with the service provider. They confirmed what was going on and made sure that I had an appointment. So even when there was a problem, they dealt with it efficiently. Their customer service is is wonderful. The online service for booking appointments is wonderful and easy to use and when I've had to call in, the the people I've spoken to on the phone have been very knowledgeable, very helpful, very courteous, just all around, very easy and good to work with.

The lady that I talked to at Home Warranty of America was very understanding, understood my problem and my concerns, and handled it very nicely, very professionally I was very pleased with that aspect of it. They they were trying their best. I had an issue and it took them until this spring to finally get a technician out here. They made several appointments for technicians to show, but the technicians were no shows until finally about a month ago. We finally had a technician come out and fixed the problem very rapidly. It wasn't really Home Warranty of America's fault as much as it was the companies that they had contacted being no shows.
