I called RWS about my microwave which wasn’t powering on. They responded within the day and said that a technician would drop by our home the following day. The tech came as scheduled and replaced a broker part. I’m just glad that they were quick to respond and got the repair done in a day.

Quick and good service. They sent out a technician the following day after I called about my bad water heater. The repairman quickly identified a defective part and called it in. The replacement was approved, and my water heater is fixed the same day. Great work, thanks!

I have made 2 claims within the first week of moving into our home. The first claim was related to heat pump problems. I was told that RWS had no contractors available in our area and that we needed to find our own contractor for repair. The second claim, our master bathroom toilet flapper disintegrated causing the toilet to overflow and run into our master bedroom. We were again told to find our own contractor because they didn't have anyone available in our area. After a 2 week wait, we were told that the deductible didn't exceed the total amount that the plumber charged us and the charge from Serve Pro for water mitigation was not covered under the warranty. A lot of customers regardless of any home warranty company they choose, may not know that usually water damage to carpet is something not covered under the home warranty because it is considered an insurable event through your homeowner's insurance. I learned this the hard way unfortunately. This is the first home warranty I have ever purchased so I did not know that. Going back to the first claim, the problem with the heat pump was that the outside unit had a bad defrost control board. After searching the internet, I found the correct replacement part at a cost of $125.00. Being generous at 8% markup that a HVAC contractor would charge me for the price of the part plus an hour minimum labor charge I would have had to pay a total of $325 ($225+$100 labor). Again, this is a very generous estimate. Most contractors would have charged more. That would have me paying out of pocket $325 and waiting for reimbursement from RWS. I will add, I am HVAC certified but lack a business license. I worked in the HVAC field for 10 years before changing careers. I would not suggest anyone who doesn't have the experience to repair their own HVAC equipment. I did, however, and saved at least $200 by doing so. Now the second claim. I could have easily drove 15 miles down the road to our local Home Depot or Lowe's and bought a $20 dollar toilet repair kit and fixed our leaking toilet. Instead, I paid a plumber $120 to replace a $5 flapper because I was told by RWS to find our own contractor to do the work. Remember, you have to have a certified and licensed contractor for any repairs to be covered. So, of course you can't do it yourself and get reimbursed by any of the home warranty companies. After filing 2 different claims with the same response of "You need to find your own contractor" My wife and I decided that this particular Home Warranty Company was not for us. We requested on March 6, 2021 to cancel the policy and refund our money back to us so that we can find a different company that actually has contractors who service our area. Today is March 15th, and after 3 different attempts to cancel our policy, we have been told over and over again that they will have to have a supervisor call us back to discuss cancellation. I called again this morning and it sounded like the lady just put me on hold 3 different times to pretend like she was trying to get a hold of someone. Her response was that either no one was in office or they were busy talking to a different customer. I was unable to leave a voicemail. I was pretty much told "Maybe after the 3rd time calling, they'll go ahead and process your cancellation." Apparently they do notate how many times you actually call in. I would leave no stars if possible. My experience with this company is that bad. Also, being that I have worked in the HVAC field in the past, I have dealt with home warranty companies before at least in the HVAC field. I find it hard to believe that out of at least 20 different HVAC companies that are local to my area, there were none available at that time to do the repairs. I would assume the same for plumbing. Either way, Ill be choosing a different Home Warranty Company that actually services my area. ..View less

The technicians are very professional and polite. They came here on time and immediately worked on our dryer. Got it fixed the same day after replacing a part. Called the claims department and said everything was okay after paying the deductible. Very efficient services.

I needed to fix my hottub, and since it is an old model, there is only 1 part on the market, which is a combined heater and control pack. Instead of covering both parts, they refused, only covering 1 part, even though it can't function independently, and I waited 5+ months for a resolution.

They have sent plumbers to my home twice, the repairs seem to have worked temporarily but I still have the same leaks I had before they came. I have multiple claims in & yet nothing has been repaired. My advice is to keep your money & find another company to do business with. When contractors do show up, you have to pay $75, if there's more than one problem but the same kind you are charged $75 for each. For example, if you have a leak & a stopped up toilet it's $75 for each. This is a ripoff, why can't the plumber fix both problems while he's there & you pay one service fee? If I could give them the rating they deserve it would be 0! ..View less

I am very satisfied how Residential quickly resolved my issue. It was my first time to make a claim and was very apprehensive if they would make good on their warranty service. They sent a technician to check my refrigerator and he said that a part had to be replaced. He called it in and immediately installed the part. Great customer service – thank you!

I called RWS, left on hold for 45 minutes, finally got through, they said they would call me back in 48 hours if they can find a plumber in my area (water was coming down through the ceiling). I told them I couldnt wait. I hired my own plumber, submitted a claim ON 10/10/2020. I have still not received an update or reimbursement! That is four months! I have emailed them to get an update and I get no response. If you call them, you will be on hold for over 45 minutes. Giant waste of money! Buyer beware. I wish I had looked up their reviews. ..View less

I purchased a warranty for 18 months and upgraded so that my service fee would only be $75. After 9 months in the home, my hot water heater stopped working (a brand new water heater). RWS is now saying that they won't cover the replacement of the water heater even though on the "Contract Details" page of their warranty booklet it states "Water Heater(s) $1000.00: Water heater repair work & replacement (covers the replacement cost of most water heaters." This company is a scam!!!! It's near impossible to get anyone on the phone when you call. Also, they don't honor their contract. I'm seeking legal recourse and am waiting for someone to call me back from the company so that I can terminate my warranty and have a prorated amount refunded back to me for the remainder duration of the warranty. DO NOT purchase a warranty from this company!!!!!! ..View less
