Avoid dealing with this company at all cost. Google home warranty companies and you can fine dozens with better ratings- I wish I had, rather than take the realtor’s suggestion. The only reason this 1 star is that lower ratings are not a choice. I have been with HMS for 2 years now and this was the company that came with my house when I purchased it. The first year I did not need to call them at all.
This team is independent from the Today’s Homeowner editorial staff. Additionally, HMS Home Warranty provides a breakdown of the average replacement and repair costs. Standard warranty claim procedures usually require waiting for a reply or wasting hours in a phone queue. I placed a claim back in March 2019 for my washer. I have also paid my contract up for the full year.
Does Not Cover All States
It may not surprise you to learn that HOA payment processing centers throughout the country are affected by the mail slowdown. HMS’ business partner and payment processor, CINC Systems, has helped us provide an update and some recommendations to limit the impact on you and your community. It has one of the largest networks of licensed and insured contractors and professionals at over 40,000. HMS Home Warranty’s 180-day workmanship guarantee is far more generous than its competitors’ in contrast to the standard range of 30 to 90 days. Needless to say we did not purchase the insurance, very much to the dismay of the representative. We were very disappointed with Hertz / Thrifty at that point, but we didn't realize that there is more coming...
Today’s Homeowner works with an independent reviews team to create evidence-based research that helps our readers make informed decisions. Failures due to unauthorized repairs or remodeling, etc. According to our research, we found that HMS Home Warranty doesn't cover all fifty states, but doesn't specify what states they're not available in. However, this is easy for customers to discover by inputting their zip code.

When I called to switch it over, they said the first technician said it was installed improperly. Which he also never said anything about to me and also the reason they denied my claim. HMS Home Warranty is nothing but a scam and they will make up a reason to deny claim.
Gas company comes out and checks everything, of course it's all fine. The reason for the denial was a "modification" was made. I asked who determined a modification was made since the plumber that was sent knew nothing of what he was looking at. I said I have a written statement from my gas company that there is nothing wrong with the exhaust fan and that the water heater is bad.

HMS Home Warranty has been in business for 30 years and claims that the longevity of its business has provided the company the time and knowledge to create innovative and reliable products for customers. Our home warranty plans give you the protection and peace of mind you want. A Cinch Complete Home Protection plan both your appliances and built-in systems. This home warranty plan gives you the most for your money.
It took nearly a month for A/C replacement because they dragged their heels on the approval of the work and they only paid $2000 out of the $6000 total cost. Expect to only get reimbursed 1/3 of the total cost at the most if you yake out a one year home warranty. It took 2 1/2 months of going in circles and y then the Fl Lauderdale office came up with a ridiculously low settlement.
Recently had a outside waterline that failed on my property, good thing I purchased outside waterline coverage and the Premier Upgrade Package . Called into HMS to get a claim started not only were they assuring they would get someone out after verifying I had coverage they assured all I had to pay was my 100 dollar deductible. Contractor shows up takes my 100 dollar deductible and says they'll get back to me. A week goes by I hear nothing, so I call HMS they say contractor denied my claim. I respond with he just showed up to my door and asked for deductible and didn't bother with anything else regarding my claim.
The company they hired to do the work will no longer answer my calls. When I call the HMS people, they offer no other solutions other than just wait. So here I am, going on 4 weeks later, with it being almost 90 degrees outside with no air conditioning. I WILL NOT be renewing my home warranty, and I can't wait to cancel the current one I have with them.
HMS is supposed to be "making homeownership easy" but it feels more like they are making it a lot of work. HMS should know who works on jetted tubs before they assign them. It's been 2 weeks that we have had a tub that isn't usable and a hole in our ceiling. We tried to get HMS to just give us the money for the parts that are covered so we could replace the tub with one that doesn't have jets but they won't do that either. They are generally slow to get things done but 2 weeks is ridiculous.
Comcast has recently introduced a new service that eliminates hold times completely for homeowners that wish to report unburied wires or other issues. If only real estate errors and omissions were always easy to flag. Well, keep looking out for flags, and HMS will keep looking out for you with a custom real estate E&O insurance policy created by one of HMS National’s expert risk specialist agents.
Individual reviews of HMS Home Warranty are not available, but headquarter reviews for Cinch Home Services, which owns several home warranty companies, are. Reviews are mixed, and Cinch Home Services responds to both positive and negative reviews. There is no limit to the number of claims you can submit, but your warranty will have an individual cap, which is in your contract.
