When I only could give 0 stars – Here’s why: In 10/3023 I bought 2 five-year HSC warranty contracts for 2 rentals. At one rental I filed a claim with HSC on Monday, January 8th 2024 in the morning, because the water heater seemed to be not working. A technician will contact me, HSC said. When NO technician contacted me, on Tuesday I called the technician’s company and asked, when they will inspect the water heater and the answer was: Friday. I told them that is not acceptable to have no hot water for so long in the winter. Finally, they sent a technician on Wednesday. Thursday, I asked HSC, they declined the claim because of corrosion. The technician told me, that he didn’t mention corrosion in his report. It is not acceptable to take so much time for a decision - and for no corrosion stated in the report. I canceled the contract. For the other rental I canceled the contract as well – with no claim, because I don’t need a contract for nothing. I paid for 2 five-year contracts for two rentals $3,899.70 and after only 3 month and no approved claim they only refunded $2,313.96. The difference is and I paid: $1,585.74. That’s why I can NOT recommend Home Service Club.

We have the "Comprehensive Plan" home warranty policy with The Home Service Club / Choice Home Warranty. Had to replace our washing machine which was covered by the policy. Company agreed to pay the claim and that they would send us a check. We needed a new machine so went out immediately and bought one figuring we'd apply the claim settlement once we received the check. Check never came and instead we got an email a couple weeks later with an attached electronic gift card to Lowe's. We contacted Home Service Company (HSC) and they acknowledged it was their mistake that they didn't issue a check but that there was nothing they could do to change it. We them went to Lowe's but they would not accept the gift card as payment to our credit balance. After 4 or 5 more calls to HSC we continued to get the run around from every claim person we talked to and all of them refused to let us talk to a supervisor or manager and even suggested they don't have access to the address or phone numbers of their corporate offices. Horrible, horrible service! So now I'm stuck having to go buy something else from Lowe's if I want to be reimbursed for our claim. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

I put in a claim as my heater was very loud,a technician came out and said it needed replacing he filled out what he had to sent photos on one it was wet from being sprayed with water and according to who ever mistakenly thought it had corrosion and rust even though it didn’t the denied my claim even after the technician called and said it wasn’t

This company does everything they can to deter your claim. There is a list of grievances but I'll just state the latest. I had the furnace looked at since it wouldn't turn on. After about two weeks I finally got someone they contacted to come by. They were able to get it going but said if it goes down again, it was the "mother board" (not sure the name. something like mother) that needed replacement. It did go down about a week later. I called HSC twice and each time was told they were going to OK the return of the heater company to finally get the "board"in, they still haven't done so. It's been another two weeks in the cold. The heating company themselves told me this is a common tactic to get you to terminate your contract when you might have years left on it. This is one of about four or five times I've struggled to get the work that they cover to be completed. My advice: DON'T EVER BUY THEIR INSURANCE.

Wish I could give them negative stars. Bunch of crooks. Don’t know how I fell for them. Absolutely ridiculous service. I already put in a cancellation as of today. They deducted whatever they paid me from my remaining refund. Any time you put in a request, it takes days and then send someone who is not experienced at all. And then deny your claim. This is their process. They claim best on their website for many years. B.S. Absolutely absurd.

MARTIN S. DAVID FACEBOOK · Shared with Public DO NOT SIGN WITH ( THE HOME CLUB WARRANTY SERVICES). ONE MONTH AGO OUR WASHER STOPPED WORKING. THEY KEPT PROMISING A TECHNICIAN WILL ARRIVE. SO FAR, IT IS JUST AN EMPTY PROMISE. THE WORST HOME WARRANTY INSURANCE I EVER DEALT WITH. AND THEY HAVE THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. WHEN YOU CALL THEM, THEY TELL YOU HOW SORRY THEY ARE ABOUT YOUR SITUATION, THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND A TECHNICIAN TO DO THE REPAIRS. THE QUESTION IS: IF A WARRANTY COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE TECHNICIANS TO DO THE REPAIRS, HOW DOES THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ALLOW THEM TO BE LICENSED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THESE COMPANIES CHARGE CUSTOMERS THEIR MONTHLY FEE BUT, WHEN IT COMES TO REPAIRS, THEY ACT AS IF THEY DON'T KNOW YOU, AND THEY KNOW THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER TO ANY AUTHORITIES. I FILED WITH THE CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER, THIS OFFICE IS JUST A NAME, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY OVER SCAMMERS LIKE THESE WARRANTY COMPANIES.

Customer Service Claims Handling Tech Refunds & Payouts Reviewed Oct. 26, 2023 I am a Real Estate Broker in WA State and Hawaii. I have purchased many home buyers warranties as closing gifts for my clients. I purchased a home buyers warranty for mechanical systems in my new home in Hilo, Hawaii. I have never filed a claim until ONE MONTH AGO! I have a clog in my plumbing system in my bathroom and I am unable to use the toilet, sink or shower. It has been 31 days since my claim was filed. I have called customer service every day only to be told they 'need more time to find a vendor'. I asked for a list of vendors they have tried to contact, but they refuse to provide me with the list of plumbing companies. Then my claim was closed without any notice to me. I had to re-open my claim on October 18, 2023. It has now been another 7 days of being told the same lies. My legally binding contract states that I a vendor will be assigned within 48 hours (max) of my claim. The Home Warranty Club is a fraudulent business. They took my money and have breached our contract by not providing me services I paid for in full on November 30, 2022. I have tried to speak with a supervisor, only to be told they don't have any way to transfer me to a supervisor. More lies. My situation is dire and I will likely end of having to hire my own plumbing contractor. I have asked for a refund of my contract, again told from customer service that they don't have the "ability" to do refunds. I am so frustrated and feel horrible that I have purchased several of the home warranties with The Home Service Club for my Buyers as closing gifts. They will likely have the same run-around based on the dozens of horrific reviews on this platform. DO NOT PURCHASE A HOME WARRANTY FROM THE HOME CLUB. You may as well light $500 on fire, because this company is a SCAM!

Absolutely the WORST warranty company. Beware they will never repair your appliance. They checked my refrigerator after a service request and 'diagnosed' in less than five minutes. Promised to return with parts that never happened till date. It seems they have blacklisted our phone number as it goes straight to the voicemail and no one responds. So I end up losing $95. Same thing happened with the request for broken shower repair. Diagnosed, promised to return with parts collected his co-payment and never showed up again. After more than 25 calls and I have given up. Their call center is a joke with continuous wait time and then you are cut off. You leave call back number and no one calls back. Frustrated and angry, I filed a complaint with BBB and contemplating to file a lawsuit in small claims court soon. You can't even cancel this policy and get reimbursed. Please do not waste your money with this SCAM warranty company. They just take your money and hardly respond to your complaints and hardly cover anything when time comes for repairs.
