Home Warranty of America Reviews

I would LOVE to be able to give them 0 stars. I've been paying for "well pump coverage" for over 2 years now. I had a well issue and put a claim in on 2/17/24. They emailed me on 2/19 that I'd have to find my own plumber because they couldn't find one. I got on Yelp and had a plumber booked in under 3 minutes. Plumber found that the pump check valve had failed, and that the pump itself had failed as well. They gave me a quote for replacement, and this home warranty company rejected the entire claim. Not just a replacement, but the diagnosis and it is repair fee as well. I appealed the denial and the case manager sent me a calendar invite for three days later. Never mind my homes of that water. I then called her this morning and immediately getting on the phone. She basically told me that there's nothing I can say or do that would get them to change their mind. She told me that I was supposed to have done maintenance on my check valve (which is hard plumbed into the pump and cannot be accessed or removed) and that that caused the pump failure. I asked her if I'm paying for well pump service, and that doesn't include the replacement of well pump, what is covered by the service. She had no good answer. And then asked to whom I should speak about getting a refund for this. She told me that no refund is possible because I already used the service. She further informed me that there was nobody else, not a boss, supervisor, or anyone else, whom I can speak to about this issue.

I had extreme bad experiences with HWA. Their customer services are trained same way only about their internal process, but their process is not customer service oriented, and not help to solve anything. It's my first year using HWA and I had two issues. 1. I couldn't file a claim for electrical system although it has been covered in my contract. The reason given to me is that "HWA internal work order system has some glitch, and there is no way to work around to set the claim. " They also mentioned this issue is not only to me but for many other customers as well. The only thing I can do is wait. Resolution manager usually told me please wait till end of today, and even they say they were going to call me, there was no call, certainly no fixing or progress. When I called next day, I got the same answer - our internal system has glitch, please wait until it to be fixed. In terms when / who to fix it, there is no answer. Resolution department has no alternative way to set the order and keep the process start, even though they say they understand the situation how messy a home would be without electricity. Each time the phone call been picked up by different people, so you have to re-tell the same information and also been asked to hold and then told the same message (basically, please wait). It wastes a lot of time repeating my request with different customer representatives, but not a single representative or resolution manager can really help anything. I couldn't understand why there is no alternative to make the claim, and they always put their process as an excuse and believe it has the higher priority than serving customer. 2. My fridge stopped working. In their standard procedure it took 48 hours to assign a technician company, and technician company booked an onsite inspection one week later. After that, it took another 48 hours for technician to upload the diagnose report. Surprisingly, the report saying they refuse to repair (probably missing part? I cannot see the diagnose report through online portal, only HWA people can see). Customer service said a new technician will be assigned, but with no timeline, no different level vs the first one, so not sure what will be the diagnose report coming up. Then the re-assign normally takes another 48 hours, booking may take longer days, and nobody would tell you whether the issue can be fixed or not. Overall, I feel HWA doesn't care whether your equipment can be fixed or not. There is no way to accelerate, there is no assurance to fix anything. They do have people to answer your call, but they cannot help you. I was asking an alternative solution to have a technician to fix the issue first and then reimbursed from HWA since your internal work order system caused the issue, the answer is No. My experience with HWA is that they say their insurance cover most of home items, but they just won't fix them, or it will take very long process until you give up and spend your own money to fix. The timing and energy you put on dealing with HWA is costly. Two issues still exist, and I have no idea when they can be fixed.

Have had this company for several years and we’ll they always have some way to charge more. This time I had a problem and they came out like thay say and I paid the service fee. But not I get email that I need to pay anothe fee becouse the furance has a warranty and they have to do the paper work for it $100.00 The company that installed the furance was sent by HWA a year ago and now will not service it so when it need work I called HWA and now have to pay more to get it repaired.

Tech was friendly, professional and efficient. He explained the problem to me, ordered the part needed and returned to install the following week. So glad that I have this policy in place!

I have been with HWA for more than 7 years now. And that says a lot. This company always had been there for our family when we needed the most. Great customer service! Highly recommended!

HWA has been our Home Warranty for 8 years. They have been good for our home and pretty convenient to use. Their pricing for this year though, has been much higher so we are searching out a new home warranty supplier. Thanks HWA for the years you've helped us keep our home in good working order.
