Total Protect Home Warranty Compliment - A little patience goes a long way - many appliances over the years

many appliances over the years - Compliment
Review by total18 on 2011-02-06
I have found this company about the same as other home warranty companies and have used them for almost 20 years. in the last year when I moved to CA and bought a new condo there was another company's warranty in place so I used them. they were OK, too, but for some strange reason didn't cover fridges. anyhow, now that the initial period is over I'm going back to Total protect because they have a plan which included preventative maintenance and because they were fine for 20 years.
over they years they have replaced a side by side fridge, a dishwasher and a disposal. it all took patience and follow through on my part, but it got done. Financially, I might have been just as well off not to pay them annually and just do pay as I go. I really don't know.

If you were a satisfied customer for twenty years then it obviously worked for you whether you came out ahead financially or not. If home warranties work the way they should, they can offer the peace of mind of knowing you're covered if and when emergencies arise. Some people find it easier to budget that way. Cashing in on a warranty can take patience and follow-up, as you said, but it sounds like you are good at those things. Some people don't want to do their part to get a warranty honored.

Good review!

I checked into this company and it seems they have not been in business this long. What year did you start with them because I went to the Secretary of State's Office and various other licensing/regulatory authorities and Total Protect was not around then. Further, have you done the math for twenty years x 12? You could have remodeled your home. You gave NO specifics, gave no who, what, when, where, how--just advised "patience" so I am not really sure you aren't the President of home protect sitting there writing this. Please tell what was wrong with your appliances and what they paid on replacement. That would add a lot of credibility. Good review???? THAT comment is interesting also.
