By Violeta-Loredana Pascal | July 15, 2019

If you want to prevent costly home and appliances repairs, then you should consider purchasing a home warranty. This means that you are covered if your AC, laundry machine or dryer malfunction. Yes, if you have a home warranty, the company's services will either replace or repair the malfunctioning equipment.

As for the price of such a service, depending on what you need (how many appliances or services), the plans vary between $20 to $60 per month.

We encourage you to read carefully what each company offers and what type of plan is best for you.

    1. You have to be kidding me making Choice Home Warranty No. 1 !!! VIOLETA-LOREDANA PASCAL you must be seriously inept or have been given a tidy sum by Choice Home Warranty to place them where you did.
      Ms. Violeta Pascal. . . click on the tab below and see just how Choice Home Warranty takes payment but has a highly trained staff at covering ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This is experience speaking by the way. Also If you check another complaints thread at the web site attached. You'll find the contractors they hire have been summarily cheated as well.

      1. Hi Dave, Thank you for your reply. When making these recommendations, I looked at Yelp and many other review sites (some specially created for home warranty companies). The article took into consideration both reviews and offers and, frankly, you'll see this company wither number one or in top 3 on many other sites and tops. I would appreciate you keeping a polite conversation here. I can assure you I got no money from any company to include them in one position in the top or another. There's definitely no perfect company!
