I reached out to customer support for an issue and they resolved it promptly. I didn't have to rely heavily on their services, but when I did, they were effective. I also had to use my warranty recently and was pleased with the quick response. Overall, a satisfactory experience with customer service.

I had some issues with customer service, as I struggled to reach anyone for questions. However, when a technician came to resolve my problem, they handled it very professionally. The service for my sink faucet replacement was efficient, with prompt estimates and quick follow-up. Overall, a mixed experience but ultimately satisfactory.

The service was responsive, though there were some issues with referrals. I had to reach out for repairs on my fridge, which they handled well. I've also utilized my warranty recently for other repairs, and overall, my experience has been positive despite a few hiccups.

We have used the home warrently a couple times since moving to Missouri. They were easy to work with. The companies sent to us were prompt and professional, and our issues were handled with the same prompt and professional manner. The only out of pocket expense was what was contracted. Keep up the great work.

It would be nice if the customer can help find a technician to come out, although the company dispatch one in a timely manner, the appointment wasn't scheduled for another week and my a/c was out in the middle of summer. So if any changes can be made that is definitely one. Other then that I was been a loyal customer for 3 years now. So thanks for being there when I need to call.

I had a great experience with their customer service. My refrigerator wasn't cooling, but they had a technician out the next day to fix it. It only took two days in total, which is fast compared to other services. I'm happy with the quick response and repair.

I mean, a lot of the time the people, they don't seem to understand exactly. You can't understand hardly what they're saying. So sometimes it makes it a little difficult to it's for them to understand what you're trying to say and what you're trying to do. I know a lot of companies are using overseas or other countries for service, and that's what they do. And just so that you feel, you need to speak to somebody who can understand what you're saying, and you can understand what they're saying. I needed to use my warranty for my furnace, last month. And you have to wait until they find a contractor to take the claim. But I asked them why would have someone new come out who knows nothing about this furnace? Why wouldn't you have the person who installed the furnace come out? They said they don't do that. That they should be able to have you use the same people, so you don't have all these different people coming working on your products.

My furnace heater was broken. I think the timeframe is about the final technician come back fix, I'll say like one week to two. It's a little bit longer than I expected, but now it's not like not able to accept at all. The timeframe it's a little bit longer, but I like the service.

The worker was very good, it just took a long time to get the people out here to do the work. I understand that's because there was a big weather event and there were lots of customers, but I didn't have running water for 17 days. I have used it several times and have always had very efficient, competent, pleasant, and polite folks to come and do the work. I had the garage door opener repaired and several plumbers have been out, and they've all been exceptionally good experiences with the people that came.

The representatives that I was dealing with were very clear and concise. I called the representative that initially when I purchased the house, and she was super nice, very detailed, thorough, and it made it easy and she also gave me the information. And it was very, very simple for me to use the warranty program when my pool pump broke.

Because you have been good to me and everything that I needed. I've used my warranty for my water heater and everything that was right there, and worked out. Everything was positive and I got a new water heater. I had no problems. Anything broke down you're always there to come out on time.

It's not that they don't provide the customer service. I just have a hard time understanding the representative. I have an open claim right now, and everything is running smoothly. We're just waiting for the part to come in. It was done in a timely manner.

At first I thought that HWA was a good thing and that they were really interested in the well being of my house appliances and such. From day one there was communication, contractor and scheduling issues. I'm not a person who believes in just good enough when fixing or repairing something. I also know how things work, where to get parts and how to fix things too. One of the most annoying things is the price of coverage going up each year with the benefits decreasing. The renewal persuasion, sweet talking and slight strong arming to make me renew each year was pretty comical. I'm glad my policy is lapsing at the end of March and I won't have to deal with lack of customer service knowledge, waiting days to get a service scheduled and questionable repair jobs that I have had to correct myself. Unless you have some major stuff you know is going to go wrong in your house or you have no knowledge of how to fix things then maybe HWA is for you. Just be prepared to wait, be frustrated and have to be on your toes with all the subcontractors and questionable ethics.

The woman that I dealt with, though I didn't get the answers that I was looking for, was very professional and very informative. She did her best. The last 2 times I've had to use it, my refrigerator that went out and the dishwasher went out. I would have certainly been appreciative if we would have gotten anywhere close to the value of these appliances. The money they offered was 30% of what it cost us to replace these items. So I'm looking for a home warranty when this thing expires, I did buy it for 3 years. I'll be looking for somebody who gives me more of a replacement value than just 30% of the value of the replacement product.

I don't get any real answers when I ask questions. I just get whatever is printed on the website, no details. I just recently had to file a claim for my washing machine. A service guy came out and he said it costs too much to repair so then I gotta buy out. But Home Warranty doesn't explain two things. One, they don't explain why they came up with the value they did, because it's not enough to pay for a new washing machine. And then two, they can't really explain to me why I have to wait up to 30 days to receive the payout when I need a washing machine now. So now I am out of a washing machine for a couple of weeks until I get the payout, and I still have to pay extra, so it almost doesn't make it worth it to use Home Warranty.

The tech that came out was very knowledgeable about what he was doing and it made me feel really assured that he knew what he was doing and he fixed the issue. It did not take long and he explained the steps, so that was very helpful.

We just had somebody come out today. Our thermostat and our furnace wasn't working properly, so I went online and submitted a claim. And then they emailed me back right away, saying that the claim had been submitted and they would contact someone to come out to work on the furnace. And they had somebody out within 2 days.

They have a very spotty record on whether or not things are covered. I recently had an issue with the surge protector that my entire house has. It's basically there to cover ALL appliances in the house without having a surge protector at the outlet level. Well, mine is spent, and I talked to them about replacing it. They denied it, and that makes NO SENSE. This is PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE... waaaaay cheaper than replacing a fridge or dryer or anything like that. I'd say the rate of them covering something breaking is about 50-50... and often you'll learn that they won't cover something AFTER you've shelled out a hundred bucks for the service call.

It's come in handy with my A/C. I've had two A/C replacements in the last couple of years. And it was a little more complicated than the furnace, but ultimately it got done and we're saving a lot of money having the warranty. Whenever I call, I get a person and they help me in, their responses quickly.

We have had Home Warranty since we bought our home in Aug. 2003. It has saved us money because we don't have the money to put out to get things fixed or replaced. It's worth it to us, Almost everyone they have sent us has been great.

It was good except for the fact that the installer was waiting for authorization and was about to leave without installing a new garage door opener because he hadn’t heard back from the company. I called the company and was told it was approved. I found out later via email that it was approved before I contacted them. The installer assumed that you would get back to him.

They were prompt in resolving my issue. Just used the warranty to have my hot water heater replaced and they allowed me to find my own technician. The warranty company pays part of the bill for the technician and part of the cost for the hot water heater.

One plumbing claim went well. The technician they sent was very good and fixed the problem. However, he wanted to fix the plumbing problem permanently, but was unable to get a customer service person on the phone for approval. My second claim went so badly, I just gave up and paid for a technician myself because I wanted to use my own electrician. I called customer service 5 times to get approval for my own electrician and could not get anyone that understood me, my electrical problem, or could help me. Customer service has been very frustrating! But, for simple repair issues, the HWA system works relatively well.

Good company overall. They usually come through in the end but the replacement offers typically only cover only 30% to 40% of even the cheapest replacement option. We have learned some things the hard way though like needing to follow up on a claim within 30 days or they will charge you the service fee twice. This was never explained up front so we lost $75.

They're always very courteous and they explain a lot of things thoroughly: how the appointment will go and how the process works.

If I had to pay out of pocket it would be more than what I pay yearly. When it really gets down to it, you're using it for peace of mind, and it's worth it. They give a speedy response to claims and the vendors that they send out are professional and they get the job done.

Starting the process online was very simple and smooth. The website was not so intuitive to be able to track the status of my claim. Whoever they used was flexible and helpful although it got scheduled initially with no contact to me and what I had going on. I did have to call HWA to get them to move on an approval the repair company was waiting on. Overall relatively pleased, although my dishwasher still does not work 100%. It wasn’t working at all, now it washes but does not seem to dry the dishes well.

Beyond great service! The A/C technician and company owner answered our phone call after hours and solved out problem on a weekend day. It’s very hot in Texas, and this immediate repair and motor replacement was a lifesaver.

Too many unnecessary inconveniences. For example, I want to repair my A/C was off, so I had to spend four days without an A/C in the home because Home Warranty of America kept asking for things that they didn't need. For example, the HVAC was low in refrigerant, the refrigerant you cannot find in state, the R22, which is banned. And I say they have a look at evidence of a leak, and then they ask for the video of the inspection of my home, which on your website that is not required, but I have the inspection and they just kept asking for things. I mean at a point they ask for the video from the technician after he submitted all evidence required. That's kind of the thing that for me was weird. They provided you with everything you ask and now you want a video when you know there's not a video. The technician was great. He did a great job, he's very professional. They kept asking for things which were not possible. Thank God the technician is knowledgeable with the warranty company, so he knew how to handle it.

HWA responded to our call quickly and professionally. A company was chosen to do an evaluation and the technician found the problem quickly and efficiently. The issue was not as bad as it could have been. Our A/C only needed a small part. Unfortunately, the technician did not return that day with the part. We had to wait the weekend and it was on of the hottest on record. On Monday, the issue was fixed to our satisfaction.

They were recommended to me but I did run into a couple of issues. I thought my freezer was going to give me some grease and I called on that and they said we didn't have that coverage and I said yes, I did. Well, and I did have my paperwork showing that when I started with American, with Home Warranty, but somewhere along the line when they updated something they had taken that part off. So the person I talked to and I made all my notes so I have access to her was the resolution department and she went ahead and she got it taken care of for me to where it was put back on. I had actually taken it out originally to make sure I had the extra refrigerator and freezer covered. I'll stay with them for a little while. If I need them and they can get the service out here that I need, that's great. But if I run into any issues because of them, I will find another company. There are others out there.

I have called numerous times to try to get a copy of a receipt for the purchase of the air conditioner and I'm told for whatever reason they don't provide it. I paid for it and the only answer I could get is that I could use my credit card statement to prove I paid for it which is ridiculous because every company provides a receipt for purchases. The technicians are very good, they worked hard and completed the job.

Our water pump and our well went out and that's when your company's thing was down, service was down so it took a long time and then they wanted me to have the the workmen stand there and wait till they approved this before they did the work, which was really uncalled for. And I sent them all the information on what they did and they denied the claim.

I've used my warranty a number of times. You know, everything always gets fixed, and it gets fixed well. Sometimes it takes a while to get a technician in, but I don't think that's something to be unexpected. I've had pretty much good experiences with them. I've used it for my air conditioner replaced recently and they did a great job. Sometimes it's difficult to get ahold of people like you have to leave messages and stuff.
