I did an online claim and althought I was given the option to find my own technician, CHW was able to find one and the problem was fixed the following day.

I called Choice Home Warranty for a quote. Since I am a senior citizen and in ill health I decided to read some of their reviews. I told the salesman who called the next day that I couldn't sign up with them due to many poor reviews I had read. Since then I have received 3+ phone calls a day for 6 days in a row for a month. I never answered the phone after the second week of phone calls. Still the calls persisted. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH CHOICE HOME - THEY WILL HARASS YOU EVERY DAY WHEN YOU TELL THEM NO!!!!

Called to inquire about a new home warranty and the person insisted that I buy the policy TODAY... and when I said that I was not ready to spend any money (on a house that I have not purchased and for which I will not close before June or July at the earliest) the sales person hung up on me. Apparently - they do not care to give you prices or information unless you are willing to immediately select their product - not further questions or time to think. ... not impressed.

I really do not care how or what their business is. When I am getting spammed by them and I never asked for it it is annoying and irritates me. This company pays spammers to advertise for them. How I got on their list I have no clue since I have not even looked for a home warranty since 2009 but they have been spamming me hard and I am tired of it. I will NEVER do business with a company that has such low ethical standards and that pays another company to spam their dirty work for them...

The company tries to use a lack of maintenance to deny everything. My heat pump quite working and the technician said it was leaking. CHS told me I had to pay out of pocket for the diagnostics. $345 later they refused to fix the head valve, because they said a properly maintained system would not have leaked. It was a mechanical failure. If they were going to deny it, I wish they would have let me know before I paid the dirtball contractor all that money to diagnose it.

i called to have my A/C checked out and they told me it wasn't covered and told me it was in the policy ( it was in nothing I received) this is a really bad company to deal with they tell you what is covered and then refuse to fix, I am canceling my Warranty and would advise anyone else too also. This is the second time they couldn't fix something RIGHT my Refrigerator was the first. A TOTAL RIP OFF!!

The Worst warranty you can have for your home. They will deny your each and every claim no matter if it is a gas leak, water leak or anything you can think of. The whole reason for buying a home warranty fails with Choice Home Warranty. One can argue all home warranties are same but I had an exceptionally good experience with ABC home warranties for several claims in spite of the negative reviews.

Not happy with the service at all. All three times someone has been to my house it has not been covered. Coils on a HVAC that stay wet was not covered, clogged to a pipe outside my house that connects all the pipes from the inside was not covered and heating element was not covered. I have spent over 4000.00 out of pocket to fix issues. What good is this warranty.

This company to me is not good. I’ve call them two Time for what I thought was covered. Each time Choice told me I wasn’t covered. You make your own decisions but I would not recommend this company. Very good customer service but won’t cover anything but my policy says it will be covered. Very disappointed in this company. I will not be renewing my coverage

I 'like' the fact that they are lightning fast to take my monthly payment but molasses slow to make any sort of payout on a claim. I have been a customer of Choice Home Warranty for years but after this fiasco with my hot water heater I plan on getting out of this program ASAP. Save your money and pay yourself every month instead and you will be much better off.

I would give a negative star but that is not an option. I didn't to pay via credit card but electronic bill pay. I just was on the phone with 1 of their representatives and because I didn't want to use a credit card as a form of payment the representative stated "We really don't need your business!" and hung up. Really!!! Was thinking of giving in and providing a Credit Cart to them but after that. NEVER!

I only had the services for a few weeks and I HATE it. I have never made any claims. I only called in for information on my coverage and due to the lies and bad customer services I received i decided to cancel. And even that was a hassle because no one would cancel my services or reimbursement... and remind you, i only had it for 3 weeks and no claims. However, it took a week to cancel and i still have not beeb refunded. Now, i am with a different company and a lot happier. I would not recommend this company to worse enemy

They are not able to dispatch people when you need them-only when their handpicked person is available. You are treated like an unwanted step-child. More shocking, they have people with extreme criminal backgrounds coming to your home because they do not do adequate background checks. Some vendors have also been sued numerous times due to doing defective work. need I say more???

Every time we had a claim there was a major negotiation. You didn't just pay your copay and get it fixed. They would find some way to say it was your fault and when we complained they would come back and say ok wee will pay this and have to pay the rest. I guess that is better than nothing , but what a hassle.

Worst company . I made two claims in one year. One was roof leak and the other was heating system. Both claim was rejected with lot of reasons that we don’t know. They say different reasons to deny a claim. My family was left in the extreme winter for a week with no heat. So my advice is a big “NO” to anyone looking to buy a home warranty ..

We got suckered into being a contractor for Choice Home Warranty with their smooth lies about how easy it was to use the system, etc. Horsefeathers! Their system has so many screens and complicated operations that it could not be figured out. Plus, claims under a hundred dollars allegedly didn't require a confirmation number, but in the end they do so they did not pay. Claims over a hundred dollars required them but even with them, they did not pay. Six of the seven jobs we did for them remain unpaid and now we're going after the homeowners because we haven't gotten response from Choice.

These people are still out screw every customer and find a loop hole when none are present. I've paid more in service calls than they have paid in repairs. I would put my money in a piggy bank before renewing my contract with these people. They think by not paying for the replacement and offering to pay 1/2 when the contract stating it's their responsibility they are doing me a favor. I truly hate this company and told the supposed supervisor on the phone as much. I will be cancelling my contract immediately and posting horrible reviews on every site I can find.

I have owned homes for 45 years and Choice Home Warranty is the worst company I have ever had to deal with. They claim, "If we can't fix it, we'll replace it." Don't believe it for a second. They sent a technician to repair an air conditioner. The technician left the line open for 12 days while he was trying to get a part. The Technical Service Manual says don't leave the line open for more than 4 hours, otherwise the oil in the compressor will dry out and need to be replaced. Choice would not pay.

A bracket in my AC unit broke and started making noise, they would not cover it because it wasnt normal wear and tear, my unit is 17 years old and still operational what did they expect for it to last forever? For it to be as old as it is and still be functioning that should tell them i have been taking care of it. Also... insurance is for unexpected issues not normal wear and tear! Sorry American home Shield! I left you to save $20! I am coming back!!!!

Choice Home Warranty was a bad choice for me. You WILL be let down when you need their help most . This company is a total ripoff. They said they do not pay for water heater tank replacement!!. leaks. Do not learn the hard way like we did. DO NOT take out a Home Warranty from this company. They will just take your money. There is also a Facebook page titled, Choice Home Warranty Ripoff, making people aware of what a ripoff they are. Beware of these thieves.

Would not buy. If I could give them 0 stars I would. Be forewarned, they do not cover major expenses. If heating system goes out they say it is not from normal use. Excuse me, but how do you say heating your home is not normal use. They also make you jump through hoops with your service contractor to explain what needs to be done. This company will then come up with reasons not to cover your claim. So sorry I purchased this warranty. They will cover items like ceiling fans and inexpensive repairs. They do not cover labor.

Service is terrible.Heating system went out last winter and was told it would be at least three days before someone could come out. Now I have an electrical problem and this is day three and no response.I was told they were unable to locate a electrician . Two years ago I had a plumbing problem and was over charged on my service call.They said I would get credit on my next repair.Still waiting,no refund no credit. I do not know why I continue to use this terrible company. One last thing,they must out sorce their calls to another company who’s employees hardy speak English.

Our heat pump unit failed; compressor and air handler. Our initial claim was denied based on CHW's designated HVAC contractor's examination of our HVAC unit stating that it "hadn't been serviced". We are in the process of proving to CHW that, within the year of our home purchase and warranty term, our HVAC unit was serviced, and in accordance with ASHRA standards and by a licensed HVAC contractor. This is a tedious process and while we go back and forth with CHW, our house temperature is in the 40s!

Very unhappy that I have to wait for parts to be ordered, then wait for them to come in, then reschedule service. Could be a week. Will have to go to laundry mat. This summer I had a problem with my air-conditioning when it was over a 100 degrees, it was going to take three days for a repairman to come. My Mom lives with me and she was having problems with heat, I couldn't risk it. I called a repairman and had it repaired myself. Not sure what good Choice warranty is.

I have had multiple home warranty companies over the year. Hold times, are usually pretty horrible. These guys take the cake for the worst. They also have yet to find repair people to service our home in CT (by the NYC border).. We have to locate our own people, submit long and tedious paperwork and cross our fingers they will reimburse us, which is never the full amount or even close to what we were billed by the repair people in our area. Please heed my warning and stay clear.

Your technician is ready to install and give me heat, but choice warranty is preventing that from happening NOW, It's 53 degrees here and Choice Warranty is holding up the process. I could have had heat without choice 1 1/2 days ago without you, right now a poor decision signing up with you guys and you want a good review?
