Choice Home Warranty Plans: What’s Covered and What’s Not?

By | May 25, 2025

If you’re thinking about buying a home warranty, understanding the coverage details is critical. Choice Home Warranty offers two main plans designed to fit different homeowner needs, but it’s important to know exactly what’s included and what’s not.

Basic Plan Coverage
The Basic Plan covers:

Heating system

Plumbing system

Electrical system

Water heater

Kitchen appliances: oven/stove, dishwasher, built-in microwave

This plan focuses on essential home systems and appliances most homeowners rely on daily.

Total Plan Coverage
In addition to everything in the Basic Plan, the Total Plan adds:

Air conditioning system

Refrigerator

Washer and dryer

The Total Plan is ideal for those who want more comprehensive protection for their home.

Optional Add-Ons
For an extra cost, CHW offers add-ons such as:

Pool and spa equipment

Well pumps

Sump pumps

These add-ons are perfect if your home includes these less common features.

What Isn’t Covered?
It’s important to note that Choice Home Warranty does not cover:

Pre-existing conditions

Items that are not properly maintained

Cosmetic damage

Items damaged due to misuse or neglect

Reading the contract carefully helps avoid surprises when filing a claim.

Service Fees and Limits
Every time a technician visits, you pay a service fee (typically $85). Additionally, coverage limits apply, meaning there’s a maximum CHW will pay per item or per contract term.
