These guys are awesome. We have used them many many times and they always fix the problem correctly and are personable. We have AHS so we only pay a service fee but they always manage to get the problem covered for us. I especially like John and Matt-these guys work hard and will stay late to make sure that everything is working as it should be. Doesn't get better than this.

I didn't get a chance to use them, but called them for a repair for a leak I had and they made an appointment between 8 and 10. Nobody showed up and I called at 11 to see what had happened. They told me they would get back to me as far as why nobody had shown up. They never called back so I called them back an hour later and got the same answer - still checking into it 2 hours later. I never ended up getting a call back and ended up going with another local plumber. I would never trust a contractor to do work with my home that is this disorganized and unprofessional. You would think in this economy people would be begging for work, but I guess not.

I had a hotwater heater go out in our new (to us) home this weekend. We have an AHS policy. The heater was a 75 gallon rheem heater - so it was big. Priced online new as over 1200 bucks from nextag and multiple vendors. AHS covered the heater replacement. Those with home warranty policies know they're called casino policies sometimes - but I was shocked that the full amount was covered.

Pleasant suprise after reading these reviews and expecting the worst, but my policy covered what it said it would cover

What is not covered in any such baseline policy though is the piping to and fro. My house is over 100 years old, so there was significant work to be done. I may upgrade to the next level policy this year that does cover the connections.

Big John from Choice came out to my house in the north suburbs from Schaumburg. The night before the appointment the office called and ask if we'd be home between 10 and 2. John was at my house at 9:50. Good start. He assessed the issue, wrote up a quote on the not to exceed figure for replacing the piping with proper components that don't rust. He explained the current piping was functional but likely contributed to my heat breaking do to a mismatch in material for the dialectrics. Several valves, tee joins and general copper piping needed to be replaced. Heater was ordered for pick up and installation was to be next day.

Office called that night - asked for a window between 10 and 2. Big John and teammate Mike came in to get the job done. They lifted out the beheameth, brought in the new one, and several hours later we had hot water.

Total work was 495 on the quote for all the pipework. It looks great, definately worth it. We ended up not having to have a new flu put on, so after my invoice was recieved by the office they cut a check to me for the difference and I had it this afternoon when I got back from work.

So all in - GREAT WORK. From the front office to the assessment to the installation, these guys rocked it. I was expecting non-rocking just given the economy and I wasn't sure how the home warranty would work - but it rocked. I understand everyone has their own experiences, and that these policies often cause frustration when people think they cover entire jobs when they do not, but I would consider that framework when assessing the commentary from the postings below.

Good work fellas! I'll hope not to have to see you soon but my boiler is over 30 years old so we'll probably touch base this winter.
