I had a frustrating experience with my home warranty service. While the initial faucet repair went smoothly, my water heater issue was mishandled by the plumber, leading to incorrect reporting and ongoing problems. Despite paying for the warranty, I ended up with unexpected costs and no resolution for my water heater. I wouldn’t recommend this service based on my experience.

I've had Home Warranty of America for years, and this is the first issue I've faced. While they initially responded well, I've been disappointed with the slow follow-up. My oven has been problematic, and despite multiple visits, the repair hasn't been successful. Communication could improve, as I've had to reach out several times for updates. Overall, my experience has been frustrating.

I found the service helpful overall, but I struggled to connect with a human representative and ended up talking to a chatbot instead. While the repair team was great and completed the work efficiently, I wish I could have spoken to someone before they arrived. The waiting period for my stove repair check was also confusing.

I had a mixed experience with customer support. While they were easy to reach, I found the answers confusing, especially regarding the evaluation scale. Additionally, I faced plumbing and water heater issues, but the responses I received didn't address my concerns effectively. Overall, I wasn't satisfied with the assistance provided.

I had a mixed experience with the service. While I can't comment on the first question, I had to call a repair person for my leaking refrigerator. She did a wonderful job fixing the issue and stopping the leak in the freezer. Overall, I'm satisfied with the repair service.

I had high expenses and felt the support I received was lacking. I ended up paying more for repairs than if I had handled it myself. Additionally, after an inspection, there was confusion about whether my pool pump needed replacing, which led to issues with coverage. Overall, I was disappointed with the service and response.

The customer service was helpful, but I felt they didn't cover everything I needed. I had a prompt repair on my refrigerator, which was great, but I'm still uncertain about my garbage disposal; they said it wasn't completely broken yet. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and areas for improvement.

I had mixed experiences with customer support. Sometimes it’s hard to get a clear answer, and I often wait days for responses. However, when I needed urgent help with my washing machine, the technician quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue. Unfortunately, I’m now dealing with a broken pipe that needs repair, which is causing leaks.

Everytime I try to call to talk to someone about an issue we had had at our house, no one can answer my questions. I have an issue with my stove that couldn’t be fixed in a timely manner. My plumbing issue resulted in having to assign a second plumber. We had two different people come to few our fridge to fix it, but the technician couldn’t fix it. They suggested that the fridge be replaced. Your company failed to replace our fridge as noted that we would have to prove it was the fridge in the home inspection in order to repair page. Unfortunately, the home inspector didn’t include the fridge the seller left us. This resulting in us having to pay out of pocket for a new fridge. This is the worst home warranty company I have ever worked with. The service providers and the home warranty companies do not communicate effectively. For example, we had to miss one appointment because the home warranty company reported a different service date and time than the service provider received.

The electrician was very kind and patient, but on the day he was scheduled to arrive and wanted Duke Energy to be here he supposedly had a flat tire and never showed up. Additionally, he showed up the next day with the main breaker that said he was not allowed to install it because apparently you have some kind of litigation problem with Duke Energy. Meanwhile, the next Electrician determined that my main breaker was not bad it was the breaker box in my unit which showed obvious water damage which had created pitting on the plate that the breakers rest on which was causing my intermittent energy problems. I ended up paying another electrician to replace the breaker box in my unit for $2000 and have not had an issue since. The water damage in my breaker box was obvious, and don’t know how it could have been diagnosed as a problem with the main breaker on a different floor in a utility room. I have now paid for a service call for something that is not covered.

I have submitted a review already, but if you want to hear it again...let's go. I was incredibly disappointed when we called on sunday about our electrical breaker box that was crackling and hot and the response we got was, " a company will come on Tues". Really? So the fact that there was a possibility of an electrical fire was not important enough to be considered an emergency? Essentially saying to us- keep your fingers crossed until Tuesday. If we were an elderly couple or a single mom with no knowledge of home repairs, we wouldn't have known how to trip the circuit that was faulty. It is currently winter, and it turned out to be the heater breaker; so by default anyone else would have not tripped the HVAC breaker. Our policy was created in2018 when we bought our home, yet the associate at HWA tried to correct me by saying our policy was created in 2021...no, that is when it was renewed for that year. She had no know of the previous repairs we've submitted through HWA, other than the recent garage door repair. That repair we had to pay the $125 deductible along with an additional $750 because HWA only paid for the part to be replaced; really? So we have paid $1200 for the year of coverage (our yearly fee has almost tripled since 2018) and we have had to pay more for each repair submitted through HWA and with the most recent event being fresh in our minds-we will not renew and will find a company that actually knows how important the policy holder is. At $1200 a year, I'm sure there is a company that understands the importance of not only the policy holders yearly payment, the deductible payment, but also the safety of the policy owner. Will not renew with nor will we recommend HWA.

Well ever since the technician came I’m still waiting for the work to be done. Very, Very, Very disillusioned about the situation, very disappointed about the lackadaisical response from HWA. Very discouraged that despite it’s the season of Winter HWA would show little interest in the restoration of the only hot water heater in our home. What a company!

Nothing seems to be covered. Have had problems with the Heating/AC. Had to pay $3000 for a new unit. The next problem with the unit was covered after the $75. Now the unit has another problem and it's going to cost over $500.

I put in three claims and a month later finding out all three are approved however never heard back from any of the contractors to come and actually do the work. I’ve gotten many calls to renew warranty, but no calls in regards to rendering services for the claims put in when I finally talked to someone. I was told that I couldn’t get any of the services performed because they were unable to open up the claim since it expired two days Ago. I am livid. I purchased a warranty in full as well as paid the deductible for three different contractors just to receive none of the service money. Just gone to waste and was told that there was nothing that could be done about it.

I had mixed experiences with the service. They were good when things went well, but I faced issues with a dryer vent and had to cancel a charge due to the wrong company being sent. My refrigerator ice dispenser also caused problems, but after a follow-up, the technician finally fixed it. I hope I don't encounter issues again.

We’ve been HWA customers for 11 years. The customer service has declined more each year. It is now automated, no live human to talk to when placing a claim. When we did need a major appliance replacement (dishwasher) it took 3 weeks before we had the new dishwasher installed. Some of the technicians have been questionably qualified. I’ve read their customer reviews and am baffled by why HWA would contract with them. It often takes several days before a tech can come out then there’s sometimes a delay in waiting for parts to be ordered and a return trip a week later. On the whole, HWA has repaired and covered what the contract says they will cover. They are just expensive and frustrating to deal with.

I've had to call multiple times for unresolved issues, which is unacceptable.

The coverage provided by HWA is very good. Plumbers, appliance repair people, AC technicians arrive, do their thing and all you pay is the service fee. The service for the initial claim and making appointments is frustratingly slow and unaccommodating.

Better than most other warranty companies I’ve tried but still super difficult. They never want to payout or replace anything even when it’s a 17 year old refrigerator with multiple bad parts. Left me in limbo after two claims that someone came out and said the compressor was bad but guess that was too expensive so they did nothing at all. The third time I paid my fee to send someone, they finally worked with us after the tech reported three different parts that aren’t even available for purchase anywhere anymore. Still took weeks to authorize to pay me $900 hahaha. So I can now afford a portable fridge to replace my stainless steel, French door in the main kitchen but not a single fridge of standard size and spec would come close to that price. Oh, a month later and my check for $900 still hasn’t shown up. Roughly 15 hours of phone time and face to face with techs is required of a home owner for every claim. Good luck!
