Thank you for asking for feedback. We have found that filing a claim is exceptionally easy! That is a very good thing. Unfortunately, we’ve also found that the vendors are usually the lowest bitter. We’ve had two good visits and one no-show, reschedule, no-show again. This has frustrated us. That is why we are not exceptionally happy with the vendor choice. The process is easy, the communication is sometimes difficult because the claims representatives speak English with a very heavy accent. We noticed that all the sales people are American and speak American English.

Professional company. In my opinion, I feel long-term subscribers should get discounted monthly price adjustments. But every time I have an issue. They respond. Explain. Fix. Thank you Home Warrenty of America.

Quick response to my problem. The service men were wonderful and handled the issue quickly and kept me informed on what they were doing. Wish I would have had HWA a long time ago. Thank you!

I placed a repair concern 4 weeks ago. I am still waiting on a contractor or the company to contact me. I have home warranty insurance to repair what needs to be repaired and I feel a 4 week wait to fix my a/c duct work is not acceptable! I went into my attic and did a temporary fix before I placed my order. This is not the first time I was expected to find my own contractor and then submit to HWA for approval on service. I have had appliance repairs which I am happy with. It’s the lack of a/c & heating service that I am disappointed in

I have had a great experience with their customer service. Every time I called, I received the help I needed promptly. I've used my warranty multiple times, and each time they provided detailed explanations and assistance. I highly recommend their services.

I had a bit of a slow experience with this service. They were quick to find a plumber for me, but had trouble with an electrician. Overall, the process was a bit frustrating and took longer than expected.

The last time I had to use my warranty, it was a disaster. The technician they sent out didn't have a clue how to fix the problem, and when he couldn't figure it out, he just disappeared. It was a waste of time and left me frustrated and without a solution. I expected better service and expertise when dealing with warranty repairs, but unfortunately, that was not the case.

I was impressed by how quickly they responded to my request for dryer repair. When I called about the washer, they promptly scheduled a technician who came and fixed it on the same day. Great service!

The customer service was great, except, they tried to push the whole 80 key insurance, I mean, the 80 key home security and it's just like they're being very persistent. And it kind of got annoying. I needed to do the routine on the thing, it says free routine but I still got charged the cost. But even said when they put it through that we'd have to pay the $75, but on their their initial paperwork, they put it free routine.

We were getting a new water heater recently, and we had a lot of trouble. We did get in touch with the company and the warranty company did order it, but they didn't get in contact with the plumbers and we waited about 2 weeks to get that water heater in. The company they sent, the plumbers, we like them a lot. I just don't know what happened over those 2 weeks, but it was it seemed like it was too long.

I don’t like when representatives don’t communicate well beyond a script. It disrupts efficiency, wasting time and money. I don’t like that, I as the paying customer, must pay extra service fees, and take extra time from work/life to accommodate when some technicians don’t do a good job. I pay home warranty for a service, if I’m not the one who gets to select the technician, then the warranty company should work to make me satisfied when something has gone wrong…

Your customer support that I spoke with yesterday was argumentative, failed to listen to the logic I was trying to present and did not resolve the issue. It was very recent and it just happened over the last week. I tried to use my warranty to repair or replace a hot water dispenser on my kitchen sink in a house I just bought, I have a warranty that came with the house, tried to use it to repair this appliance since it was not working. And the plumber that came to fix it said he needs to get approval from you folks, in order to move forward to make the repair. The next thing I heard was from Home Warranty saying "We're sorry, but your unit was installed improperly, and because it was installed improperly, we are not going to honor your claim." I called the plumber who was here and asked him if he told Home Warranty that this was improperly installed and he said, no, he didn't tell you folks that nor did he think it was improperly installed. I tried to present that argument to the customer service representative. He simply kept repeating the same response, which was that your experts determined from photographs that it was improperly installed and therefore would not honor the claim. I'm not likely to recommend you folks at all unless we can resolve this.

The last time I used it, we got service from someone very, very quickly, and it was done very quickly. We had only one bad experience, and that was a faucet, trying to get a plumber out here. It took after 2 to 3 weeks of trying to get them to send somebody, I had my son-in-law do it.

I've already claimed the three of them. They were pretty easy to get in contact with, but sometimes the person they sent out cancelled. I tried to file for a new furnace, but they denied that. I guess they didn't see the problem

I have used 3 times. 2 times last year, and 1 time this year. This time the experience was extremely good because it happened during the winter freeze. I have some of my A/C downstairs, but the heater suddenly stopped working. So, it was 30, 25 degrees Fahrenheit. So I submitted a request, and within 48 hours, it was resolved.

My built in microwave oven went out New Years Day. I contacted them, they sent out their service repair man, didn't fix it, they sent out another service repair man from a different company 2 weeks later had to order parts and another appointment set up for 2/9. It's been over a month and I've had to pay out $150. In service call fees ($75.00 for each service call ) even though it was the same appliance issue. It's been over a month and I still don't have a working built in microwave. I use a microwave daily so yes I went and bought a cheap countertop microwave.

I had to use it for problems with my furnace. And they have some trouble finding people in our area to help with that. They didn't want to work with a home warranty company. After a while, I did find somebody, and the problem was corrected.

Last time when we tried to get a hold of people in customer service and figure out why nobody was responding to our claim, we were given the runaround. We had water flooding and backing up in our basement and so it caused a lot more damage than it needed to. And we're still dealing with all of that and that happened around Thanksgiving. It didn't have to get that bad if somebody would have responded and let us know why nobody was showing up.

Great follow-up time. It is an easy process to submit the warranty claim. Once approved, everything was set up properly with a vendor or a service department. And everything was taken care of and paid for by home warranty.

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.

I looked at several home warranty companies and this one suited me best. The price was right and what they covered was adequate. They do get back very quickly when I have a service request. I needed to use it recently and it was an electrical issue so it was concerning. They got on it right away. A technician came out and was able to fix the problem. The technician was very good. But it was really disappointing to have a large problem and discover that they did not cover the cost at 100%. For instance, whenI had to replace air conditioning, it cost $6000 and they covered $1000 of that.
