I could get a new spinner but piece it sits on is not made anymore.. so out another $80.. I just went and bought a new dishwasher.. I would never tell anyone to buy this warranty. Sadly my realt... read more

Hello ******,Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience; I can understand your frustration with the claim determination. The warranty is in place to assist with the cost of repairing or replacing specific items that fail from normal wear and tear; not all items are covered. Further, ********* Preferred Home Warranty does not have contractors; the contractor who visited was hired by the homeowner. I see that the contractor stated that the spray arm was dislodged by a possible clog in the unit. Per the term... read more
They have taken MONTHS to process a request. This is after the fact that they wouldn't pay for even half of it. It's interesting to read in the comments below that some people are getting 3x what they paid for something and I can't even get reimbursed for 10% of what my repair cost me. They will not pay me and they do nothing to follow up and let me know that they are working on it. They go out of their way to not help, or to not pay. You would better saving your money or going with another provider.

My 19 year old water heater stopped working. I called **** and got the go ahead to get a repairman in to check it out. He said the unit needed to be replaced. The cost for replacement and the new water heater totaled more than $2200. **** decided that they should only cover $450 and then did a "deductible" of $100. (It's not like I had to pay more than $1850 out of pocket already!) I was really shocked how little they paid for a repair. I'm seriously thinking of changing to another company because this was unacceptable. I've... read more

Previous owner purchased home warranty as selling point. I am so glad I didnt waste my money paying for this purchase. I have had several things go wrong and each time they find some excuse not to pay. From an electrical breaker to furnace issue. I called for Supervisor and was a waste of time. Basically said no exceptions. Electrical issue could have started a fire. Furnace issue is from air conditioner issue and they refuse to cover. *********************. It will only cause you more frustration.

I have reviewed your claims and am pleased to see that we were able to approve your full plumbing claim minus the required deductible, as well as your Air Conditioning claim. Between these two approved claims, you have received nearly 3X the cost of our standard warranty package in reimbursements, all at no cost to you as you mentioned.

We have been paying extra for sprinkler system / irrigation coverage for the last 2 years. We alreayd had electrical coverage as it is included in the base warranty. When we had to file a claim yesterday because the compressor / pump has failed and the replacement is $2,000, ********* Preferred Home Warranty advised that we had no coverage. When I pointed out the fact that we had been paying extra for 2 years to be sure the irrigation system was covered, they informed me that the coverage only applies to the underground spri... read more

The items that failed on this claim are not covered und... read more
RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THESE FOLKS, THEY ARE STRAIGHT UP CROOKS!I have had a policy with these people since 5/18, with little to no claims during this time. The Compressor went out on my Air Conditioner, which called for replacement of my unit. The installed new unit was quoted @ $11.5K, and they wanted to give me $650 toward a new unit. Then they proceeded to tell me that the unit was older that the "standard" lifespan of this type unit, and if I read the small fine print I should have known that. My wife is recovering... read more

Worthless. A scam. We tried to file a claim twice for our boiler system. Did exactly what they ask. They spoke to the tech for an hour. He gave them all the info on the boiler. (November of 2022) They later emailed us needed the age model number etc on the boiler which the tech gave them. I also gave them a picture of model number etc from the boiler. Called they couldnt figure out anything on the boiler. Plus they had told couldnt pay for valve repair or hourly rate. So in all they paid nothing. Didnt pay for the first or s... read more

Absolutely so disappointed. We have used other companies in the past and thought this would be a better company. SO disappointed and would never ever recommend this company to anyone. The manager we spoke to essentially stated they don't have to cover anything at all and we should be grateful for the 5% of the cost of the new system that they are covering. What's the point of spending $509 to only get $1000 in coverage?
