Choice Home Warranty is an affordable option for homeowners who want to adhere to a strict home warranty budget that allows them to cover many of their home’s essential components. Both of Choice’s plans are combo plans, which means they cover a suite of home systems and major appliances.

Currently, Choice Home Warranty is involved in a class-action lawsuit in Arizona. The lawsuit was filed in 2019 and alleges that Choice routinely denied claims in bad faith. When reached for comment, a representative said that the Choice Home Warranty would not comment on pending legal matters, but stated that more than 90% of the 1.1 million claims filed in the first 10 months of 2021 were approved.

With that said, our team feels confident recommending Choice Home Warranty due to its overall affordability, personalized customer service experience and large volume of positive reviews on websites such as Trustpilot . We recommend reading your service agreement carefully so that you are fully aware of all potential exclusions and limitations.

Choice’s two plans cover a combination of built-in systems and appliances. The Basic Plan covers items such as your heating system, water heater and dishwasher, but it does not cover air conditioning, refrigerators or laundry machines. The Total Plan expands the coverage of the Basic Plan to include those items.

Choice extends optional coverage to the following items:

Choice charges an $85 service call fee each time you file a claim. According to our quote, customers can expect to pay between $47 and $55 per month.
