Andrea Urbana, IL

Poor service. Difficult to speak to a customer service rep. I have received multiple bills from service providers who weren't paid the agreed upon amount. I paid my part but the warranty company didn't pay their part. Difficult to find service providers. One of my requests was denied for "pre-existing condition" but it wasn't a pre-existing condition. I'm shopping for a different warranty company

Not happy. I haven't made a claim in many years, pay for the highest coverage (most expensive) and although I was told when I signed up that if something had to be replaced, HWA would replace with the same brand and the closest available model, that's Not True. AND you have to accept HWA’s terms (ie, any brand, type) for replacement BEFORE knowing what model and brand of appliance HWA will replace with! Moreover, when coverage includes HWA paying for labor to install the appliance, don’t count on it, as that's not really covered either in many instances. If installation takes any new flex lines or whatever because HWA didn't replace the item with the same brand or model, you have to pay not only the materials but also installation labor because that’s considered ‘modifications’ for the installation even tho’ if they’d ordered the same brand, most of the ‘modifications’ wouldn’t be necessary. Further, you cannot change plumbing or electrical company HWA has chosen for the installation, even if they are charging 3-4 times the amount other companies charge for the same ‘modifications'. The plumbers HWA chose to install the appliance are asking for almost the full price of the appliance, well over $1000 over what other companies would change. I've done my homework and this is not an exaggeration. And on top of that, the accolades which are below in this review I cannot erase, even though they don't fit the situation at all!!! That's under 'why or why not HWA is worth it'. I cannot change what's there already which is a positive statement.

It was worth it to me to get the warranty at the time of purchasing a new older home. The quality of some of the workers is my greatest complaint. However, they did choose a different company for 1 complaint, and allowed me to choose my own person for the second complaint. Another complaint is not being able to get a good explanation about my pool coverage as written on the policy I received, and what their policy says in their computer. The representatives refused to let me speak to someone higher up the chain. Emails sent have gone unanswered.

Great service! They worked diligently to find an AC company during the height of summer to fix my AC. I am very pleased with the technician they found - he was wonderful and fixed my AC.

Fairly responsive, although some have taken a couple of days to respond. The only other frustration has been the "we don't cover that" or "that will result in a surcharge" response. All in all it has been a fairly positive experience.

Once they did get somebody in here, it was great, but a lot of times I couldn't find any air conditioning person for almost 10 days. I almost had to go finance a $5000 hot water heater because nobody in central TX wanted to come out to look at my hot water heater so I went and bought it and had it installed. Of course they paid me back, but for 10 days we had to go take showers at the gym.

Even though the cost of the premium has more than doubled, since I started with HWA8 years ago, it is still a good value for your money. They have taken care of a lot of things for me and I have been happy with them. I actually think they’re better now than they were about three or four years ago.

They were able to responsed to my inquiry and take it quickly. I needed to use the warranty to check out my air conditioner and they opened a ticket and had a check out within 2 days.

Usually they're pretty quick to respond, whether it's a yes or no, but we know fairly quickly and they normally keep you updated on where they're at with your claim, which I really appreciate.

My oven didn't work anymore and they came out and there was a part that was missing or needed to be replaced, and they no longer made the part, so Home Warranty of America gave me money towards a new oven, which I was very happy with.

The person was here on time and he fixed what needed to be fixed. The 2 times that I called the company, they were able to help us and did a good job. The washer was replaced and the dryer was fixed the same day.

Everything's been very straight forward. Doesn't feel like there's any dishonesty. Someone came in and did an assessment on our dishwasher. He let us know immediately what needed to be done, we rescheduled, and it was done.

We have had 3 claims this late month. 2 were quickly repaired - same company and technician. Very happy. The 3rd was serviced by Sears. The parts have been ordered as of 6/14. No parts have been shipped yet. I don’t understand why it is taking so long? I am unable to use my oven for almost a month.

They do try and I know that they have rules to follow. I'm just thinking they could do a better job. Every time I use the warranty, they send somebody out in about 3 to 4 days and they usually do the job. The guys come out and fix it, so it's no big deal. Even though they're replacing something that costs $400 they replace it with something that cost $70. Maybe I'm expecting too much. But they keep going up in the price and the quality doesn't go up, something's wrong there.

I've used my warranty a couple of times. What happened is they choose a vendor that lives pretty far away instead of going with someone locally where I live. It's a big city. They're going way out in the country, 60-70 miles away.

I used them for replacing a hot water heater. The service was good by the company that installed it. The Home Warranty did a good job on approving it, but I was overcharged for additional fees and I've been waiting over a week for clarification that they made the mistake and that they're going to give me my refund for the difference.

Best Home warranty company. They get the tech out to your home in no time. They also work with you to set up a monthly payments for the premium. I would highly recommend this company.

poor customer service and lack of communication. i had an ice maker by samsung to be repaired, HWA knew it was under warranty but still filed a claim. after i paid a tech $100, and he cashed it soon after leaving my home. HWA sent me a notice that my claim was not covered. i contacted cliams dept and set up a call time. I never recieved the call to help with the claim. I am out $100 because of the HWA customer service. I feel I should be reimbursed. sad situation and very unprofessional

I’m glad I had HWA when my hot water heater rusted out and started leaking. I only had to place one phone call and they had a repairman come out to determine if it was a covered repair. Luckily it was and I saved hundreds of dollars.

Have to do better on parts for Refrigerator. I had to wait a month for a part for a refrigerator. If the part is hard to find then replace the refrigerator. The cost of the part can’t replace a refrigerator. Also a unit such as a furnace or A/C unit shouldn’t be no more than one day to have someone to come and check it out.

I just used it recently for another plumbing issue. I ended up having to get a totally different plumber, and from what I was told by the 2nd plumber that I paid out of pocket for was the original plumber should have told me that I needed additional work done. The person came out and and did a temporary fix, that wasn't even the problem. So I had to pay another service fee for another service.

Our furnace was not working recently so we did a claim online and we actually got an appointment the next day. The technician came out repair the furnace and we paid the copay and that was it really easy. I find them to be pretty responsive and helpful.

It took 10 days to fix my stove because we had to wait for parts. Usually in a matter of a couple of days the contractors are here to repair whatever needs to be done and I think that's pretty good.

They automatically take the money out of my account every month. They have no problem getting their payments. However, if I'm paying you for a service and you do not have contractors that are going to be up to par with their professionalism and for their expertise, I do expect them to alleviate the issue and to be able to get someone that will. When I asked him this morning how would you guys be able to compensate me for being inconvenienced not only for my time but because I pay you guys monthly for this service, he said that they don't do compensation. So I had to escalate the call for to someone who then after I explained that for the third time, told me that they will waive a monthly fee for me for my inconvenience. So the fact the problem of the matter is, is that they really should have resolve this at like at first call type of thing instead of me having to escalate.

Ryan And Sarah Chambersburg, PA

Last year our HVAC system went out. There was a leak and they wanted to send up their own service technician. The waiting time was long on HWA's timeline versus if we could have gotten our own technician in there. It would have been expedited. And that's similar to what happened this past year with the hot water heater too. They wanted to get their own service technician in there, so there's a wait time for that and then by the time the service technician got in there, they then serviced, the contractor decided that they didn't want to do the job and so it put getting a new hot water heater out by like a month. The communication is not the greatest.

Dishwasher got clogged so they came out and found the problem, fixed it. It's a little expensive. I've used them twice in 4 years, but I guess having the peace of mind is part of it.

The cost is too much for the visit. The last time I used it took two weeks for person to get here and then they had to change the date to a couple of days later. Guy came out, worked on it, said it needed a part, took two more weeks for the part to get in. So that's a month that went by without it being repaired. Slow to respond Takes a long time to get someone out to work.
