Our favorite customer reviews

Techs were great

"The service of Cinch has been great. My claims process for the upstairs heating unit went really well. The techs were great. They fixed it the same day I made an appointment."

Quick turnaround time

"The ease of claims, customer service, quality of work, and quick turnaround time, it's been all good with Cinch. The people that have been contracted have always done good work. For the furnace repair, they tried to see if they could repair it first. But they couldn't and then put in the request to have it replaced, and had my furnace replaced. It was accepted right away. They did everything well. They did what they said were gonna do, they came back and did a second inspection before the actual city came in to do a final inspection and made sure electrical was installed correctly and everything is new."

Very satisfied

"I thought there was an electrical panel issue. When the electrician came out, there was nothing wrong with it, but he showed me how to operate it. I thought I knew, but I didn't. Overall, I've been a very satisfied customer. The $100 fee regardless of what's going on and having a professional to come out and address it is more than worth it to me."

Enjoy the warranty

"Our AC isn't cooling down, and the repairmen have been to our house twice, but they still can't figure out what's wrong with the unit. Cinch and all the technicians have been great though. The first one was recommended by our neighbor and the second one was sent to us through Cinch. The third one is good as well. He's punctual, shows up professionally, and he's doing his best to figure out what's wrong with our AC unit. He's not done with the job yet, and he said he will be back this Thursday. Overall, we enjoy the warranty a lot. We even recommended a friend to get Cinch."

Pleased with Cinch

"I've been pleased with Cinch. Cinch took over my previous home warranty a year ago and now I get results and assignments to other vendors more quickly than I did with my previous home warranty group. I had an air conditioner claim last year and an issue with the hot water heater about a month ago. I placed the claim online and I had immediate feedback on who would be calling. The vendors that I worked with reached out right away to set up a time to come out and look at everything. The techs were both great. After the service call had been made and everything was taken care of, Cinch sent a text message, asking if the tech showed up, if I was satisfied, and if I needed anything else. So that was something I didn't have before."
