Customer Experience

Overall Rating: 3.9 / 5 (Very good)

Home Service Club has relatively high premiums and service fees. But their home warranties offer more comprehensive coverage than many competitive plans.

The company's ratio of positive to negative online reviews indicates that their customers are satisfied, overall, with the service provided.

Home Service Club’s policies suggest a customer-centric philosophy. which allows for easy coverage and service with no home inspection required. Policies are restricted by both itemized and term-level caps, which is standard in the industry. But the number of claims you can file during a single contract period.

The company does not offer month-by-month coverage and requires customers to sign up for an annual contract, That may deter people who don't want to commit to a long-term contract before they've had to use their warranty coverage and are satisfied with the service they receive.

Contract & Price - 4 / 5

Home Service Club’s base-level 12 month home warranties start with a minimum annual premium of $400.

Coverage is not dependent on a home inspection, and this price point is slightly on the higher side of the industry standard.
With that in mind, they do offer a 30 day pro-rated cancellation policy, minus a $45 dollar administration fee.

My washer and dryer failed on me while all of us were in for the holidays. I thought I was going through all these laundry bare handed. Good thing my hubby called in HSC and had someone over on a HOLIDAY and fixed both my units. He even came prepared with some parts that needed replacement. These guys are so pro and didn't waste our time. We offered them to stay for dinner but politely refused. I just wanna say that the techs you have sent are so good and very friendly. Thanks for finding the right guys for us Home Service Club!

It's clear by reviewing the information that this company chooses NOT to respond to those who are not satisfied with negative feedback and more importantly choose not to resolve problems timely. Look closely before you purchase. Prices are one thing and customer service is another. I've been without a response for nearly 2 months with a fridge problem. They don't vet technicians properly as they gave a name of someone who didn't even do that type of repair and the second one came and never took a tool out but claimed the fridge was not repairable. I was offered $650 to replace a $2500 fridge. Having made a public attempt for help through this portal and others freedom of speech has been... Read More

I like Home Service Club. They really came through for me when I had a surge go through my home. That was $630 for an AC repair that I didn't have to pay for. Saved me a lot of money! they send professionals to your home each time.

As of now my rating is 1 star. I called in an AC repair on 6/19 and told HSC that we had no AC in any of our sleeping areas. Living in Houston in the summer, not having AC is a problem, especially with young children. It took 2 days and multiple phone calls for a technician to be scheduled. Then they ignored the diagnosis on Friday, again not returning multiple messages and not answering multiple phone calls about next steps. As of today, we are finally told they agree with tech that the unit needs to be replaced but they are trying to find a way not to cover it, and now will not call us back again (since 10:30 this morning) when they stated they would have a quote and coverage position...

When the garbage disposal wasn't working properly, I called The Home Service Club. When the technician was done checking it out, he told me that replacing it would be the better option. That's exactly what was done. The new one was put in and I love it!

I was doing laundry after coming home from vacation, when I realized the washer wasn't spinning. Thank goodness for The Home Service Club. The part needed was on hand with the tech that came out to the house. In no time I was back to getting the laundry done.

Awful service.... quick to take your money , very very slow claims process. We have been waiting 5 days post diagnosis for a decision on the repair of our aircon, its a simple repair, the engineers have the parts , they are chasing , we are chasing , no one answers calls or emails .... If you want to pay for no service get these guys ....the lack of response and courtesy speaks for itself. Monday - Diagnosis ....it's now Friday and we cant get hold of anyone despite numerous emails and calls to them from both me and the engineers. This is my first claim with HSC and I am very very unhappy.
