Case Manager Jade Dunn was a consummate professional and hung up on me as I was trying to tell her that going forward we will wait until Choice can assign a technician versus their suggestion of using our own after they couldn't assign a technician in a timely manner. After 3 months of back & forth with them, we received $0 reimbursement for our $3000 hot water heater.

I paid cash for my home warranty in full to cover everything in my home, including pool and roof. Every time I call, I get no response. I am requesting a refund of my money that I paid, because the year is almost over, and I haven't gotten one repair done. I called about my hot tub backing up a month ago and no response, I called about my roof 6 months ago and no response. It seems that they're just taking my money and not fixing anything like they promised when they signed me up. Sounds like elder abuse to me. I will be calling the BBB to file a complaint.

On August 24,2023 I submitted a claim as the handle on the multiport valve had broken off, Due to the company not being able to find a suitable contractor in the area, it was suggested that I find someone in my area. I contacted a pool service in my area. They repaired the valve and submitted a claim to Choice Home Warranty. This claim was denied, and I initiated an appeal. I had a discussion with a claims person who indicated that the claim was refused because it did not state that the breakage was considered normal wear and tear, per contractual requirement. After this discussion, I had the pool service update the claim to state that this occurred because of normal wear and tear. After submittal, I received a phone call that the appeal was denied; however, this claim was never updated on the website. I was also told that no further appeals could be made.

On 8/9/23 a claim was filed online. On Monday 8\14 a technician came out and stated the compressor was bad and he had to report the findings to the company. That same night I received a text stating the job needed a follow-up. On 8/18 another technician came out and checked the a/c unit stated the compressor was bad, Pictures were also taken of the in and outside unit. I received another text stating a follow-up is needed. No one reached out to me after those visits. I had to call both Home Warranty and the A/C company to inquire about the status of my claim. Meanwhile, the temperature reaches from 99-114 outside 87-90 and higher inside. As of todays date 9/1/23, I am still without a working A/C. I had to go to the doctor twice due to the excessive heat inside my home. I am truly disappointed and upset. This is living nightmare for a senior citizen to go through in this heat. No one seems to have a resolution to my problem.

They always have loop hole not to cover these people all they have is sales people out to do repairs they always want to sell you the unit telling him that it’s unrepairable and the one replace it have an air condition that pan is leaking and they’re saying they don’t cover that because it’s outside the unit sitting in an attic they always have loop hope not to pay him when you called to complain the escalation department everyone’s manager there in terms glorified agents

I filed a claim on July 3 for collapsed ductwork. I was denied my claim coverage. The company refused to show me in my contract that I had in my possession where collapsed ductwork was not covered.

I have the Choice Home Warranty ultimate package.

They have been rude condescending and there’s a whole YouTube video about how they don’t honor their warranty. This company is ridiculous and should be shut down.

On 7/3/23 I filed a claim for a non working hot water heater. On 7/6/23 a tech came out, examined the heater, took pictures and said he would have to submit some infor to Choice. Next, I received an email from Choice that my claim for replacement was approved but I WOULD BE EXPECTED TO PAY $1007 TO THE TECHNICIAL (THE FLAT RATE CHOICE HAS NEGOTIATED WITH THEIR TECHNICIANS FOR POSSIBLE NON COVERED COST) WHEN THEY CAME TO INSTALL THE HEATER. This amount is more than what it cost me for a new heater and the installation

My Air Conditioner broke down on July 17 2023 I place a Service request on July 18 2023 took Choice warranty one month to send me a technician which he didn’t solve the problem choice home warranty assigned me another technician. Long story short it took choice another week to finally have a technician take a look of myAC unit and he told me that the motor needs to be replaced and he have to get authorization the next day choice send me an email stating it is not approved any way today is August 23 2023 my AC still not fixed

Lies and thievery you do not need to get ripped of like us seniors got taken advantage ripped off out 100’s do not buy have filed complaints with government agencies hope they shut them down ! Fraud in what we have experienced

Contracted home warranty work for them for them for less than a year. Had authorizations with authorization numbers to buy equipment, parts, and supplies for various jobs. Once these jobs were completed I had submitted the invoices with the authorization amount and numbers. Supposed to been paid within 2 weeks and has been over a year now with still no response from them. Had to purchase parts and air condition systems for replacements that they requested for me to purchase with the authorization numbers of approval for repayments totaling to over $12,000.00.

I filed a claim for my 1st floor central AC system. I was informed to get my own technician because they did not have one available. The outside temperatures were 95 to 100 degrees when the system failed. I called a reputable licensed HVAC company, y they accessed the problem and told me the furnace/ac fan in my first floor unit was bad and needed to be replaced, they removed the fan and I told them to perform the repair. We have a 3 month old infant and a senior citizen living in the home. I submitted the claim and was told it was denied because the unit was repaired. Several weeks later the outside condenser fan failed, I called their claims department and was told to include it with the original claim. All this company does is take your money. I’ve been a customer for over 5 years and have not had a claim in over a year and a half. The last time my HVAC had a problem they sent a repair person that falsely diagnosed the problem charged me $65.00. I did not believe him and asked him to leave my home. I called in a company that repaired the issue which was in the thermostat wiring’ not what their technician told me. I paid out of pocket and didn’t even try to get reimbursed. Every time I’ve called to cancel my contact they talked me into continuing. This company is a bogus company ripping consumers off.
