Wish I was told that because my appliances are old that HWA will not replace 100% by maybe just 65% of appliances value. I was paying 100% cost of my premiums . I should paid 65% of my premium each year. Amazing

Home warranty has responded quickly and made sure someone came to fix the problem I had. The problem was fixed and the service person was very friendly and efficient.

customer service is excellent. the vendors are not so great roofers replaced with mismatched colored shingles. plumbers tried to hustle us to pay for a new clean out valve which we already had had to get a second opinion and that plumber supposedly did the job but didn’t bother to tell us they were done, so we just cross our fingers and hope the issue doesn’t repeat

They just passed on information and when you call back to ask about what happened they they have no real answer for you. The first time we called was for the vent that air stopped coming through. We needed somebody to come out to service that. They contacted 3 companies before we found out nobody was coming out. They kept telling us for one reason or the other that person got rejected. That person is not going to be able to help us. So that didn't get done. So that took a week to go so that and work never got done, all right. The second time they couldn't find people that will come do the work. I would never recommend them to anybody.

I wouldn't recommend them. About two months ago my air conditioner went out and they sent a service provider out three weeks later, at which point the service provider gave them the response that it needed to be replaced. They then chose to get a second opinion, which took another two weeks. And then finally, that person was able to come out, take a look at it, provided the same response the first person did, and at which point they did actually replace the unit. But in total, it took about six weeks to get done. The customer support staff has no power. They just read scripts and will feed you BS responses.

They were just hateful. My washing machine broke and the gentleman that came out here told me that they could not fix it and it had to be replaced and that I would hear something from them within 24 to 48 hours. It took 3 weeks and I had to have my realtor call the lady that was over the district here in Florida before anybody would even respond to me. The lady was just very rude to me, she did not want to give me the value of the washing machine to replace it. She told me the washing machine was 20 years old. She wasn't going to pay the full value. That was the point of me getting the Homeowner's Warranty. She just didn't care.

They are very responsive for small item claims. When it is a big ticket item like air conditioning or water heater, this is the worst company to deal with. They add a charge and will not let you know what it is for. If you don't accept the charge, they cancel your claim. There is no one to talk to and when you do get someone you start all over from the beginning and get canned answers that aren't relevant to your claim or contract.

You guys are very hard to work with when it comes to having replaced something. We've had a replace 2 items now because you said there was nothing wrong with them. One of the items this last time was the water heater. You said that it was fine and functionable but it had bacteria in the water and the water heater was starting to conk out. I don't like your process as far as how you decide what you're gonna. Do? With. An item so we ended up spending $1300 out of our pocket to replace the water heater that was contemanated.

One thing that I can say about the company is that they worked hard for me. Personally calling the repair companies and getting a solution if needed. Over all they have covered me well this far.

HWA denied our cook top repair after two technicians evaluated the problem. I never heard from HWA about why the final repair was denied. HWA received two payments then when a more experienced technician was needed the repair was denied. If HWA started a repair ticked for the cook top, it should have been covered. If not why agree to look at the cook top. Other than that HWA has been good!

Most of the vendors have been easy to work with and reliable, with the exception of the furnace company you sent. I am hesitant to use the warranty for anything important, like a furnace or AC if I don’t feel confident in their skills.

For a while, their service was very good, but I guess they were sold and thereafter, it seems like sometimes I would get help when I needed it, but if I had anything having to do with the plumbing, even something minor, they simply ignored me and I would have to call 5 times sometimes to get some kind of response. I ended up becoming so disenchanted that when I was going to sign up again for another year, I ended up asking for my money back because they were not being responsive to my request to have someone assigned to what I think is a small plumbing issue.

Within the past year, I’ve had nothing but issues with your company. I’m thinking it could be due to the merge with choice plus. Even with the continuous price increases of your premiums and your service call fees, I have still renewed with you every year but this year I don’t think that I’ll be doing that. I spent over an hour and a half on the phone yesterday which was May 16, 2023 because in error when you guys merged with choice plus warranty you removed my washer and dryer coverage in the error. I had to spend time on the phone with your incompetent agents fighting tooth and nail to get the issue resolved before I was finally able to speak with Stephanie from your resolution team who was absolutely awesome. She resolved my issue within minutes. I’m also upset that your team members do not have the ability to see any claims prior to February 2022 which was your merge with choice plus that is absolutely ridiculous. If asked to refer your company absolutely not. I’ve been a loyal customer for yours for almost 5 years and I don’t think that I will be in the future. I’ve had to file a complaint with consumer affairs against your company. Your customer service representatives are not knowledgeable and unprofessional. I don’t ever contact a business expecting stellar service because I know that that expectation would be too high but at least the bare minimum would be nice and your customer service reps just do not do it. Whenever I call I have to call back multiple times for the same issue which I’m sure you know is time consuming and very frustrating.

Customer support is excellent. They do good communication, good follow up. I didn't pay for it, I believe what they paid was $500 and I believe it's worth it. If I can extend it, I probably would.

Customer support has been prompt, but there is a lot of back and forth in terms of getting the the provider, who they are and their schedule. I'm always being asked to reach out to them but they say it's resolved, but it's not resolved. It took almost three weeks to just fix a small issue with a toilet leak.

We've used the warranty a couple of times. Mainly we use it for our heating and cooling. Recently our air conditioner was not cooling so they came out and they added Freon to it. The customer service agents are not consistent. Some are helpful, some are not helpful. We've had a very nice one and then we've also had one that was really not nice.

They have someone come out and you pay them $100 right away. This last one, which I'm still working with, was there for 6 minutes. I gave him a check for $100 I still have not got my air conditioner fixed. They came back the next week but couldn't fix it yet because they didn't have what they needed. They just texted me 10 minutes ago to say they would come tomorrow. Another time it took 5 visits to get my heat fixed.

My air conditioning went out in June. The guy they sent out said I needed a new unit and last month, March, they finally I had to call them. They had cancelled my claim, they never did get my unit ordered, never got it in. I had to call them up and literally go crazy on them in order to get them to finally send somebody else out here to check the unit and said it just needed Freon and finally they got it fixed just this month. So I've had some real problems for people.

Every time I call somebody I can't hardly understand them and then I finally get ahold of somebody I can't understand and they're rude. I haven't been very happy with them so far. Very easy to contact but they can't hardly help me. I pay once a month and they can't even help me get my A/C back up and running. I pay them a monthly fee to do work for me and they and then they turn me down. I'm wasting money.

The first time I use the warranty they couldn't get a plumber here, so it took over a month to get somebody here. And then they said you still have the option of calling your own plumber. Long story short, I got my own plumber and they okayed it. The people that I talked to were very friendly but it seems like it took forever.

These people refuse to replace appliances with like-quality items while using questionable contractors to do the work. Our top-of-the-line Carrier air conditioner was replaced with a no-name brand by technicians who lacked the ability to replace an older model hard-wired thermostat with a hard-wired programmable one—so now our thermostat has to operate on a battery. Our Insinkerator disposal died, and I contacted Insinkerator company to determine what the current model to replace it was. I gave that information to the contractor who called Home Warranty and told us that Home Warranty only allows a certain dollar amount—so we were forced to take the “builders special” model rather than the high-end model we were replacing. We will never recommend them, and we are discontinuing our insurance.

I like how convenient to buy this home warranty and it provides total security against all kind of house damage and calamities . Their staff is well trained and they explained & helped me in choosing best plan according to my budget and need. Whenever i have faced issue they solved it fast , they just ask for important documents and thats it.

HWA is the best home warranty i would advice every homeowner to safe guard his or her home with. Am a proud beneficiary of this service. it provided me with a whole home protection plane, including a plane that covers my appliances, plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.

We recently purchsed our home in Foley AL. It was built in 2006, and much of the house has been remodeled or re-equiped, but at 17 years old, stuff is bound to happen. Recently our air conditioner quit cooling. It was a Saturday and I entered my information on the HWA website, not expecting to hear anything back until Monday. I was shortly thereafter texted the name of a repairman. He came out on a Sundayand my air was back up in no time. Honestly, I didn't expect much but was provided a great and timely response.

Home Warranty of America is one of the best company that we have work with , we have been with them from the time we moved to our home in San Dimas. We had more than 2 claims with them that were resolved right away with the people they sent to us, immediate response and work done . We recommended HWA to our families and will continue to tell our friends if they need one. More than 100 percent satisfaction. Thank you HWA

The best money I have spent has been buying the HWA warranty. whenever i have a problem they solve it on time and professionally. The last case that occurred to me in my house was that in the middle of summer the two air conditioners in my house were damaged and HWA completely replaced them with new ones. I recommend 100% to all HWA. You will not regret having this guarantee

Reported a clogged drain mid morning yesterday. Did not hear back right away but did get an email stating apologies it was not assigned early this morning and they were actively working on it Got a phone call and email simultaneously early afternoon today. The plumber was available I had a must go to appointment and was not. He was flexible and came about an hour later. Cleared the clog. Paid $ my copay and done. That’s how it’s supposed to work. Thank you!

I've only had to use HWA 2 or 3 times in the four years we've been here and signed on to HWA, but it's always been a smooth and satisfactory experience each time... IF I ever sat down and did the math between the annual fee for HWA plus the per visit charge, I think my 2-3 call ins for the repairs I needed probably ended up costing me a bunch more per repair than if I would have just called a local repair guy. That said, it IS nice to know that a reputable repair person/service is available with one phone xall

Home Warranty of America has been for me a reliable service. They have responded in a positive manner with each claim I have made. I do have to use their approved providers and have had one in particular that was not just bad but after coming to see the problem never showed up to do the work leaving me without use of my master bathroom for over 2 weeks. This I believe was an exception to the usual. Overall I’m extremely pleased.
