Pros

  • 180-Day Guarantee
  • 24/7 Service Line
  • Versatile Service Plans

180-Day Guarantee

When a technician representing TotalProtect comes to repair an appliance at your home, that appliance is guaranteed for the next 180 days. This means that if an appliance has the same problem within six months, it can be repaired again for free. This is a substantial promise, especially compared to other companies we've seen that will charge the standard service fee regardless if that appliance has recently been repaired.

24/7 Service Line

Customer representatives from TotalProtect are available twenty-four hours a day, all year long. This can provide peace of mind for situations such as those midnight appliance emergencies.

Versatile Service Plans

TotalProtect offers three different plans: an Appliances Plan, a Systems Plan, or a Combo Plan which offers everything from both the Appliances and Systems plans. Deductible fees are also adjustable.

Cons

  • Unclear for Real Estate Professionals

Unclear for Real Estate Professionals

TotalProtect seems to have plans geared toward proactive homeowners that aren't working through a real estate professional. But for a real estate professional looking for special plans regarding buying and selling a home, there isn't much information.

The Bottom Line

TotalProtect Home Warranty offers an array of services for customers with lots of upfront information and flexible pricing. The 180-Day Guarantee on repairs is also attractive and demonstrates a caliber of high customer service. Although warranty plans for real estate professionals are a little unclear, TotalProtect's compatibility with the Prism app and 24/7 call center services also scores high marks for us. However, TotalProtect is unclear about warranty plans for real estate professionals, and the company has mostly negative consumer reviews, giving the company a one and a half review star rating. Overall, we recommend doing more research and going with a home warranty company that has better consumer reviews.

Kathleen Gibbons Henderson, NV

Kathleen Gibbons, Henderson Nevada Aug 24, 2018 I have just read several depressing reviews regarding claims and customer service.. HOWEVER I must live in the right place with the best providers. I called regarding my A/C late Tuesday August 21. By Thursday August 23 my A/C was back in business. The company's name is Controlled Comfort and the tech's name is Jared. I was called that he was running late (not surprising in Las Vegas - A/C's seem to fail in 112 degree heat). To my surprise I got a call from Jared at 8:30 at night asking if I still wanted him to come this late! He had worked a full day but wanted to finish this last job. I was so grateful. Even at 8:30 the temp still was about 100. I call that GREAT customer service.

Gwendolyn McMillan Shirley, NY

I have had total protect for about 5 years. I have not encountered any problems with them. they replaced my indirect oil hot water heater. I had a choice of getting the $1500 or them doing the work. I chose the work to be done. I did have to pay $327 out of pocket to have an expansion tank replaced on my heating system and have one installed on the water heater. Since I worked for a heating and plumbing company, I know the expansion tanks were not covered. I get my 4 free inspections every year. they are heating/ac, electrical, plumbing and appliance checks. They have gone up on the deductible $40 but since I am satisfied with them and have tried another company(Choice Warranty) I am cancelling the latter and keeping total protect. Even though the deductible is $60 less for Choice, parts were not covered for my heating system that Total protect covers. Total protect has also replaced my toilet and 2 faucets with me just paying the deductible. When I place the problem online, my response was in 15-20 mins. They gave me the info to call a company and set up the appointment. There was one time when the company did not call me back, so I called Total protect and they gave me a different company. I have also requested the same company. I am happy with Total Protect.
