Select Home Warranty cost
Select Home Warranty’s rates range from $44 to $63 per month. You’ll be charged a service call fee each time a technician is sent out to your home to repair or replace an item. Select Home Warranty’s trade services fees start at $60.
Some home warranties provide 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 and will require you to pay the service call fee each time a technician is sent out.
Coverage plan | Cost per month |
---|---|
Bronze Care | $60.42 |
Gold Care | $60.42 |
Platinum Care | $63.75 |
The home warranty company also offers some nice-to-have optional add-on coverage plans.
Optional coverage | Cost per month |
---|---|
Central vacuum | $3.33 |
Lawn sprinkler system | $5.33 |
Pool | $8.33 |
Septic system | $5.33 |

Select Home Warranty claims and coverage limits
Claims must be filed within three days of discovering the problem. To file a claim with Select Home Warranty:
- 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.
Coverage limits
Many home warranty contracts will specify a coverage limit or cap, which is the most the company will pay out per item or per contract term. If the cost of a repair or replacement exceeds the set dollar limit, you are responsible for making up the difference to get the item fixed.
Select Home Warranty specifies the following replacement allowances in the contract:
Item | Coverage limit |
---|---|
Heating and cooling | $3,000 |
Electrical (not heating or cooling) | $500 |
Plumbing | $500 |
Appliances | $500 |
Add-on items | $400 |
Freon coverage | $200 |
Select Home Warranty coverage exclusions
Warranties generally don’t cover preexisting conditions, cosmetic issues or item upgrades. Home warranties typically cover mechanical breakdowns of appliances and systems due to normal wear and tear.

The warranty also does not cover any issues related to foundation, structure or manufacturer's defects.
Sometimes, there may be parts or components of a covered home system or appliance that are not covered. Select Home Warranty lists the following general exclusions to covered appliances and systems:
- Shelves

- Doors
- Hinges
- Knobs and buttons
- Door seals

A full list of exclusions can be found in Select home Warranty’s terms and conditions, which will be listed in your contract.
