Select Home Warranty costs
As of publishing, Select Home Warranty’s rates range from $60.42 to $63.75 per month — a little higher than average home warranty costs.
You'll pay a service call fee every time a technician comes out (even if the issue isn't covered). Select Home Warranty’s service fees are $60 or $75.
Some home warranties have a “service recall period,” waiving the service call fee for any repeat visits for the same issue within a certain time frame. Select Home Warranty does not offer this. You must pay the service call fee each time a technician comes to your house.

The following are general exclusions to covered appliances and systems:
- Shelves
- Door handles
- Doors
- Hinges
- Knobs and buttons
- Door seals
- Freon
- Damage from a freon leak
- Displays
- Latches
- Timers
- Leveling equipment
- Clogged drains or lines
- Cosmetic issues
- Gaskets
- Leak searches
- Lights
- Noise
- Refrigerants
- Valves
- Dispensers

- Electrical failures and upgrades
Sometimes, parts or components of a covered home system or appliance are not covered. For example, Select Home Warranty lists the following exclusions for its dishwasher coverage: control board pump, switches, drain pump, temp control, heating elements and drain lines. A full list of exclusions can be found in Select Home Warranty’s terms and conditions, which will be listed in your contract.
FAQ
What is Select Home Warranty?
Select Home Warranty is a privately held company operating in the home warranty industry since 2012. It provides service contracts that cover the repair or replacement of major home systems and appliances, such as heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical systems and kitchen appliances. The company operates on a subscription model where homeowners pay a monthly or annual premium in exchange for coverage. Contracts are renewable each year, with discounts available for multiple-year coverage.
It's important to distinguish Select Home Warranty from other related industries:
- Home insurance: Home insurance companies cover damage to your home's structure from events like fire, theft or natural disasters. Home warranties, however, cover the breakdown of systems and appliances due to normal wear and tear.
- Extended warranties: Extended warranties are usually offered for individual appliances or systems at the time of purchase. Like car warranties, home warranties cover a broader range of items in your home.
How does Select Home Warranty work?
If there’s an issue with any covered appliance or system, you file a claim. You will pay a service fee, and then Select Home Warranty (or a contractor working on its behalf) will repair or replace your appliance or system. Claims must be filed within three days of discovering the problem. To file a claim with Select Home Warranty, follow these steps:
- Contact Select via phone or email, or submit a claim online.
- Select will contact an independent contractor to provide repairs within two business days (up to four days if you make a claim during a weekend or holiday).
- You pay a service call fee to the contractor (starting at $60). If the repair is covered by your warranty, Select covers the rest of the cost.
