I've had a great experience with their service. They always answer my calls and connect me with the right people. Even when my AC broke down in the summer, they quickly found a technician closer to my location. Recently, I used my warranty for my refrigerator, and the technician sent was excellent and is currently fixing it. Overall, I'm very satisfied!

I had a mixed experience with customer support. Initially, they were great with my first claims, but the last one was frustrating due to missed technician appointments. However, when my washer broke, they quickly arranged for a contractor who resolved the issue effectively. Overall, their communication is solid, but consistency in service could improve.

I had issues with my refrigerator and customer support was courteous, though it took time for a vendor to arrive. My experience with the warranty was mixed; initially, I was told my leak might not be covered, which caused confusion. However, once the technician assessed the situation, they found the issue and fixed it. Clearer communication would improve the process.

I used to be happy with the service, but after a recent buyout, my experience has declined. I faced issues with a payment that my bank couldn't accept, and despite follow-ups, the problem remains unresolved. On the other hand, a recent service call went well, but now I'm facing unexpected charges for the same issue. Overall, I'm feeling frustrated with the inconsistencies.

I've had a positive experience with my home warranty service. They are prompt in communication and allow me to connect directly with providers, which is very convenient. Recently, I had an issue with my AC unit, and they quickly approved the claim and replaced it without hassle. The technicians were professional, and overall, everything went smoothly.

I called about a leak in my front lawn not realizing that it wasn’t covered in my policy and the customer service representative on the phone with me was very helpful when explaining to me where in my contract it was stated. I was disappointed and it probably transferred to my speech but she was still very professional when speaking with me so I can’t complain.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Choice is now the "sister" company. After 10 years of paying monthly payments for coverage, this was the first time in a very long time that a service provider was scheduled to come out right away. He solved my oven heating problem the next day with the new replacement heating coil. The calls I have made in the past with HWA were difficult. It would take several calls to get a service provider scheduled, then, there are many providers that wouldn't work with HWA due to past negative experiences on their part.

I recently contacted customer service about an issue with my refrigerator's ice maker. Despite their efforts, the problem couldn't be fixed due to a Samsung brand issue. However, I appreciate the prompt and professional service I received. The representatives addressed all my concerns, even though the ultimate problem was out of their control. Overall, I am satisfied with the customer service experience, despite the issue remaining unresolved.

I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by this company. The response was quick, and my issue was resolved within a few days. The technician fixed the leak in the pan of my air conditioner in the attic and promptly applied for a new one. Overall, the entire process took only about 4 days. I highly recommend their services for any HVAC needs.

It was really just sort of a series of an unfortunate event, but we called in two or three things. Over a period of time, it was just misunderstandings, but they had a feeling thing I needed replacing. It was the heater in the bathroom with the exhaust fan. And so in trying to get that sorted out, my sister got sick and died and I just couldn't call him back or go online or do any of the things that I should have been to follow up. But, then they just closed the claim and that was frustrating. We paid somebody $85 to come and look at it and I just started over. Part of it was my fault, but part of it was their fault as well. They do send people to come and fix things and so far, although one of them has been capable and done a good job and you know, so I still don't have a heater in the bathroom, but I think someone's working on it. So we'll see how that comes out. It seems like they have a little bit of trouble communicating, but I have a 3-year agreement with them, which I can cancel at any time, and I don't plan to cancel it.

Today when I called them, the nationality of the guy that spoke to, I could hardly understand him, he knows English, his accent was so strong. I just couldn't hear everything he said, and that's not uncommon. It does seem like they have some technicalities that are deceptive. For example, I had a water heater replaced, and the guy gave me a quote and everything was fine. And they said they'd cover this much. And I go, "Why are you not paying 400 and some dollars?" They said "Because of the pan and the other thing. " It was the pan for the water heater and the two types are like $30. And you replace, to get take them apart and replace them anyway. So basically, they had a technicality written into their contract that allowed them to charge 400 and some dollars for $25 worth of work or product. And it's just a way, a deceptive dishonest way of not paying for the water heater. Then they did the same thing on my furnace.

When we call them they've been very responsive to us, gotten back to us pretty quickly. We had an issue with our toilet, basically smelling. We first bought the house, we called them up to see what was going on with it. And they sent a tech out within about 2 days. They sent us the information about the tech, and then they came out in a couple of days and then fixed the toilet up pretty quickly. So I'm pretty impressed with that.

They were very customer oriented and they helped me with the solutions and scheduled the repair on time. And all the communication was very good, too. My water heater was not working and I didn't know what the problem was. So the technician came and he checked, and he was able to find what the problem was. It was the clip, the overload, he reset it, and then I started getting water.

John Metairie, LA

GREAT SERVICE IN PROVIDING VENDORS FOR SPECIFIC REPAIRS...EXCEPT "SEARS REPAIRS "...which does not confer with the client as far as date and time for repairs. Sear s gives a particular date (2-3 weeks later) AND expects someone to be at the repair location from 7:00AM-6:00PM AND WAIT FOR A CALL TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN THE TECH IS TO ARRIVE---totally UNREASONABLE!

It sometimes takes too long for them to actually get somebody out here for repair, by going through due process and scheduling a visit. The most recent one was that we were having a problem with our furnace in the attic of our home. The technician came out, identified the problem, and ordered the part. Another technician came by in a few days and replaced the part of the circuit board and the furnace. We've actually used them quite a bit for various systems in the house and a pool, so it's all been pretty positive.

The support was really quick, friendly, and they resolved my issue, in no time. My garage door wouldn't open up. I believe the technician told me the spring was broken. So he did come and he took care of it right away. I believe I'll recommend the Home Warranty to my friends or relatives if they need it. I really like the way they deal with the customers and the support they have.

I had a furnace that was 15+ years old, and I was just having a routine service and we found out it was in bad shape. So at that point, I actually opened the claim they provided a technician. They opened the claim that I requested quickly, and then the turnaround to get somebody out to actually investigate the problem was within a day or two. They confirmed what the servicing company identified and they were quick and responsive.

Very quick response time, quick scheduling time, and the professional was great. My garbage disposal was not functioning. I put the recall in the very next day I received an email with the scheduled technician for a couple of days later. The scheduled technician came in. He looked at it real quick. He knew it needed to be replaced. He went out, called, got the approval, and had the replacement unit in his truck. He came in, fixed it, and that was the end of that. Everything was just very fast. I thought it was all fabulous.

They got to the job right away. The person that came out was very, very nice, very knowledgeable, and he gets the job done. Our dishwasher wasn't emptying, and the guy came out and told us to try something, like a thorough cleaning, and then we had to call him out again. When he came out we had done the thorough cleaning, but it still would have a little bit of water, but then he was able to fix it.

I like their professionalism. When I first moved to my home, our water tank went out, they came out and observe and found out that I needed a brand new water tank, which they replaced. I just recently used them about a week ago for my garbage disposal that had worn out. So they came and replaced it. The only problem I have is when you talk to a representative, it's hard to understand because they have broken English. That's the only negative thing that they have, outside of that they are exceptionally well.

Very easy to file a claim, which was handled quickly and to my complete satisfaction. I would maybe like to be able to confirm appointment times, but that's on me, since they give you the option of booking your own person as long as they're licensed and insured, so I could have done that. The whole repair took less time than I thought it would, and with no headache. Highly recommend!

As first time home owners this service has been enormously helpful in finding reputable vendors and efficient vendors for fixes. It has easily paid itself off in the first year. I will note that scheduling communication vary - but we work from home so this has been easy to accommodate (they usually just assign a date and time). I could see this being harder to navigate for those who physically commute to work.

As a first-time homeowner I wasn't sure how much maintenance actually cost. HWA allows for peace of mind that if I get a leak under my sink or the AC goes out I'm not scrambling to find a professional or out thousands of dollars trying to get it fix. I just put in my request to HWA and they will send someone out to take care of it. Most recommend HWA for the first year of homeownership but I'm definitely keeping and renewing this membership.

I have maintained my HWA warranty since I moved in 2015. I have had a few instances where it has been very helpful in finding a qualified person for a repair while being responsible for my deductible of $100 only. I have an important comment /suggestion: When submitting your claim request, be VERY detailed in what the problem is, what your concerns are. I say this because the company Service person that accepted the HWA claim request, that comes to your home can ONLY correct the exact problem stated on the Claim # you were assigned. If the service person feels there may be a bigger issue to deal with, it would be at the homeowners expense if the service person goes over & above. The service person cannot really suggest additional repair. I experienced this with a plumbing issue, Pipes needed rodding as opposed to just having a kitchen sink backing up, but a kitchen sink backing up, was what I reported to HWA. Had I been more detailed & the claim was written up with my detail, it would have eliminated the need for the 2nd visit after 8 days. The plumbing company needed to come back out 8 days later & treat the 2nd service as a new claim causing me to pay an add’l $100 to the plumbing company to rod out pipes which was part of the initial sink back-up problem. Both plumbers did what was needed both times, they worked hard, one left at 9pm on a Saturday as an emergency call after the other rooms had sewer back ups. Just a word of advice, so far the problem seems to be solved, I have to assume there are no broken pipes underground, the last plumber explained what he did should have corrected the problem. Lengthy review, but sharing this for others using the home warrant service. They are very good, just be detailed!!

Generally overall decent experience with home warranty of America. However had some experiences in which the warranty did not cover certain expenditures as a recent plumbing and dishwasher claims in which I incurred the total cost of repair. Also my garage door a few years back it replaced only the springs and I paid over 600 dollars for a new motor and recently paid over a 1000.00 for another new motor. That being said they covered a part for my heater/furnace and have helped me in other instances. I had to replace hot water rank 12 months ago but decided to go through the manufacturer without contacting HWA. I think as a homeowners insurance company they attempt to do their best generally. Have had some negative experiences when calling. However some good ones as well

They have reasonable rates and wonderful service. And also a nice plan for protection for my home appliances and things like that. My hot water was nonexistent and I needed a new hot water heater, they found me the proper plumbing company that would install the hot water heater and did it efficiently and quickly. My air conditioner has also leaked and stopped working, and in Florida, that's not very habitable to be able to live comfortably. They've been able to send the A/C technicians quickly and resolve the problem. So I'm very happy with the home warranty.

I’ve placed 3 claims with HWA in the two years I’ve had the contract. The first two claims were handled to my satisfaction. I am having some difficulty with my current (3rd) claim. It is difficult to get in contact with the repair service. They don’t answer their phone. The message says the mailbox is full and you can’t leave a message and there is no option to send a text. All it lets me do is send my phone number with no message. Very frustrating. Finally The technician came on the day scheduled. All he did was record the serial number and tell me they would call to schedule the repairs. I paid the 75$ service call bout shouldn’t have since he made no repairs and I don’t know when the work will be completed. I called HWA. The representative was very helpful and explained the claim had been approved and the technician is waiting for parts. It would have saved time and frustration if the repair company had made contact with me and provided that information.

I put in my claim on one day, the very next day they had a technician out here to resolve the issue. The young lady I spoke with on the phone when I called in took the time to find a company to resolve the issue before I had to sit around and wait a couple of hours for somebody that could take the ticket. She actually spoke with some of her companies outside the area and got somebody out here immediately.

So far 6 months into my warranty I’ve had nothing but good experiences from HWA. Every problem has been solved within a couple days and the $100 copay is reasonable. I will preface that by saying I have the platinum package that came with my home purchase so results may vary between plans and locations. Overall though, HWA in the Minneapolis region has been great.

They're pretty attentive, they're pretty responsive, only have one vendor that I really didn't didn't care about. But overall, that's internally, it's great customer service, great support. I've had to call more than one and they were just always willing to to help get resolved to whatever issue I had. The latest one was for a leak in the air conditioning. They sent someone out, they called me when they had had the problem locating of a contractor. They gave me a solution in case I couldn't wait for them to find the contractor. I ultimately just waited. And when they took the contractor out, it was great service, great contractor. And the response to the claim was quick.

I haven't had any problems, you know when I put in the ticket I get a response right away. If they send me two people I just select the one I want. I tried to use my warranty for my garage and I had to come out of pocket, and it's because they didn't explain to me that it doesn't cover the wiring or something else they didn't cover, but everything else they covered.

I've had several times where things just went South and they did the absolute best they could and I appreciate that. I came home from being away for a while and my air stopped working and it was like 80 or 90 degrees. So of course during the summer it's hard to pin people down, but they worked very hard to get someone in here. The people they work with were wonderful and tried to make sure they did it as quickly as they could.

They're very, very easy to file a claim. Easy to to communicate with them through e-mail and fairly fast response. Just recently, we had the air conditioner system go down and stop working, so they contacted someone within 24 hours, and that company called us. We set up a time for them to come, and they approved all of the repair items, and it was done within a few days. I've had no no reason yet to be unsatisfied, so. And then I've I've had them since 2015 and made probably maybe 4 or 5 claims and it's always been good.

Our air conditioning stand stopped working in the middle of this heat wave on Sunday or Saturday and we called Saturday and on Sunday we called right away and registered the claim and we had a response from Home Warranty on Sunday and they had a technician out here on Monday and it was fixed right away. They approved the they had to replace the fan and they approved it right away and it was done.

I had two claims and the feedback and time that they got back to me was unbelievable. I could not believe that. I called in again because I wasn't available and they got back to me within 3 minutes via e-mail. So I was very impressed with that. I had the problem with my A/C it was leaking to my house. They sent the people out there and they fixed the problem within like 15 minutes.

Anytime I've needed to reach them, I've been able to reach somebody at a reasonable time and I've received communication and follow-up. If I ever requested something, you know they provided what I requested. I had a problem with my dryer and so my dryer was covered by the insurance policy, and they responded, the technician came out, and then they attempted to replace it. They weren't able to replace the part, so they actually reimbursed me and gave me the money to purchase a new one. I've had excellent experiences over the years I've been with them for probably at least 11-12 years. That's why I continue to pay my monthly fee. I'm not a handyman do it yourself person. So knowing that I can get things repaired at the monthly cost and the the home visit cost meets my budget.

I believe it is one terrific company! Online claim process is quick and easy to accomplish. Telephone representatives are friendly and professional when I need to speak to them. They get back with a service repair tech within 24 hours. When a repair service is not available, I live in a rural area, I can get my own and they work with me on that as well. Just can’t say enough great things about them.

I'm very happy with and pleasantly surprised by Home Warranty of America. I think I've had home warranties before, but I forgot I had them by the time something broke and I could have used my warranty but I never did. This time, since I had just recently bought the warranty with the house and it happened only like a month after owning it, I remembered and rather than call the dealer I called Home Warranty of America and they did fine. It was trouble free and effortless.

I’ve had a contract for nine years. I’ve used it many times. Some experiences were not the greatest, some were just ok. But my last claim was our air conditioner (again) and we had a woman tech come. She fixed it is 20 minutes. Very, very pleased with how quickly she came and how quickly it was fixed. It’s worth it for peace of mind. I bought a three year contract for a discount.

I think they're great. I've had it for over 10 years. I've used them dozens of times and never a problem. Not a single problem. We needed a plumber and he came. He was extremely knowledgeable about what to do. He he was a terrific professional, nice person. There's some things that they could have chosen not to cover, but they went the extra mile for me. Whenever something's broken, they are able to find a service repairman quickly. And then they come and they fix it.

The lady that I talked to at Home Warranty of America was very understanding, understood my problem and my concerns, and handled it very nicely, very professionally I was very pleased with that aspect of it. They they were trying their best. I had an issue and it took them until this spring to finally get a technician out here. They made several appointments for technicians to show, but the technicians were no shows until finally about a month ago. We finally had a technician come out and fixed the problem very rapidly. It wasn't really Home Warranty of America's fault as much as it was the companies that they had contacted being no shows.

I did have one professional who kept having to reschedule and it was a bit frustrating on my end, but when I called Home Warranty to follow up on it, they immediately followed up with the service provider. They confirmed what was going on and made sure that I had an appointment. So even when there was a problem, they dealt with it efficiently. Their customer service is is wonderful. The online service for booking appointments is wonderful and easy to use and when I've had to call in, the the people I've spoken to on the phone have been very knowledgeable, very helpful, very courteous, just all around, very easy and good to work with.

I renewed it a couple times since then because I like them. I had an issue with one of the servicers and as soon as I got in touch with the customer service department at Home Warranty, they got in touch with the company and it magically got dealt with. I had such a good experience with Home Warranty that I had my sister switch her company over to Home Warranty of America.

Whenever I call them the customer service is good. They always send somebody out within a reasonable time to deal with my issues and the service is excellent. If they can't fix it they they replace it. The service is good. Very recently I had to have a washing machine fixed and it was a minor problem. The person was in and out and they fixed it and I haven't had trouble with it since.

They sent out service rep just 2 days after reporting the A/C was broken. The technician repaired the outside unit and has us back to cool air within 45 minutes after arrival. We are very satisfied with the quick repair time, the professionalism of the technician, and that we only had to pay the deductible for repairs that would have been hundreds more.

I called, I explained the problem, I got an email from a plumbing company within an hour scheduling an appointment. The plumber showed up, was very courteous, attempted to clear the problem and could not. He made a call and told me when the next person with the needed equipment would be here. The next plumber arrived as scheduled, fixed the problem and said thank you to me. This all was Dad’s Plumbing.

I've had HWA since I purchased my first home 8 years ago because my realtor insisted the seller pay for the first year. I've renewed every year since. Months ago I unexpectedly lost my job and had no money coming in and I called to cancel and a wonderful associate of yours gave me a few months grace while I figured out what was going to happen to me. You are the only company that seemed to care about me and my situation at that time. Everything is settled now and I still have this wonderful coverage!! I can't say enough good things about you!!

Home Warranty of America gives us peace of mind. We know if we have a high-dollar problem in our home, they will work with us to solve the problem. For example, we began having dishwasher trouble recently. A repairman came out and installed a part that subsequently did not solve the problem. HWA is sending us a check for a new dishwasher. They give great service and we are very glad we got on board with them.
