Choice Home Warranty: "Best Overall Service"

Choice Home Warranty covers all types of homes, including mobile homes and older homes, so many different types of homeowners can benefit from protection.

Customers can choose from two plans: Basic and Total.

The Total Plan is Choice Home Warranty's most comprehensive protection plan. It includes all of the items listed under the Basic Plan, as well as several more:

Air conditioning system
Refrigerator
Clothes washer
