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.

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:

  1. Contact Select via phone or email, or submit a claim online.
  2. 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).
  3. You pay a service call fee to the contractor (starting at $75). If the repair is covered by your warranty, Select covers the rest of the cost.

Here are the items covered under each of Select Home Warranty’s plans.

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, which range from about $30 to $90 a month.

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 $75 to $100.

Plan typeAppliancesSystemsCombo
Monthly cost$60.42$60.42$63.75
Yearly cost$629.99$629.99$674.99

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.

Select Benefits Program

Select Home Warranty recently introduced its Select Benefits Program, which is designed to provide additional value beyond traditional home warranty coverage. The program offers members discounts of up to 75% on everyday purchases from participating retailers and service providers. Members can also earn cash back rewards on eligible purchases.

The program includes access to a nationwide network of savings opportunities not limited to home services. By combining these benefits with standard warranty coverage, Select Home Warranty aims to expand the overall value of membership for homeowners, renters and businesses.

Select Home Warranty 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:

Select Home Warranty coverage exclusions

Warranties generally don’t cover preexisting conditions, cosmetic issues or item upgrades. Select Home Warranty’s terms and conditions specify it does not cover anything related to hazardous materials like asbestos, lead or gas leaks. It also doesn't cover damage that’s the result of an act of nature or due to previous improper care, installation or failure to properly maintain a system or appliance. 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
  • Installation
  • 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.

How is Select Home Warranty different from home insurance?

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.

    I called SHW as directed by the website. The man who answered my call was direct and to the point. I asked questions because I have never had a home warranty on any property I have ever owned. I just asked basic questions and he answered my questions but that's it. He really didn't provide any additional information. Definitely wasn't a salesman, so no pushy sales. I asked if I paid monthly and then decided to pay annually how much it would cost. He stated $525/yr., however when I received the contract it states $600/yr. So, that's not a savings at all. All in all he answered my elementary questions because I didn't know what to ask about the service. He was polite, spoke English, and knew how to process my payment....so there's that. I honestly had never checked into a home warranty before, or called another company, so I hope it was a good decision.

      Mr ** was very helpful explaining the various plans and durations of each along with the costs. He answered all my questions. I was hesitant at first but after being offered various different options I decided to go with Select Home Warranty. The salesman also told me about various potential discount plans that I was qualified for. Each one had its merits and I ultimately decided to go with a plan that worked best for my needs. I received a confirmation email from Mr ** and then was asked to fill out a review about how I was treated. I received further emails directing me to open up my account on Select Home Warranty's web page and upon doing that I was able to access my warranty documents and download them to my computer. All in all, a very straightforward transaction.

      I recently contacted Select Home Warranty, and the experience stood out immediately. Their phone representatives were genuinely courteous, patient, and professional, which is something I rarely experience with other warranty providers. From the moment the call began, the agent took the time to listen, explain coverage clearly, and make sure every question was answered without rushing or transferring me around.

      What impressed me most was the respectful tone and willingness to help. With many other warranty companies, you often feel dismissed or pressured, but Select Home Warranty’s team showed real customer care. They treated me like a valued client, not just another call in the queue. Overall, Select Home Warranty provided exceptional service, and the difference in treatment compared to other warranty companies was noticeable. If you value professionalism and a smooth customer service experience, they are absolutely worth considering.

      I've been with another home warranty for the past year and I just don't feel comfortable with them. So I decided to Google other places and Select Home Warranty fit my needs and my budget. The sales person I spoke to was Jake. I found him to be very friendly, personable, and easy to talk to. He told me my options, suggested a couple of plans but he wasn't pushy. I could pay for 3-5 years and not have to worry for a while or I could pay monthly. He gave me his direct number in case I had any questions. It was a good experience overall. Yes, they have some 1 star reviews but mostly 5 stars. There are going to be people that you just can't please no matter what you do. It happens with every business.

      Connor did a great job ensuring that all my questions were answered and that I fully understand the coverage. He also made certain that I received the best price for the coverage and that everything in my home was including in the policy including both HVAC systems. The only thing that I felt should have been included in the policy was the preventive maintenance for the HVAC systems. This is the only area that should be included in the coverage. Lastly, the warranty does not cover whole house fans or sewage lift stations that are part of many homes in my area and are a standard part of the home plumbing system. I highly recommend Connor and Select Home Warranty as they cover more than other warranty companies and at one of the best prices per month that I have found. They also lock their price and service fees for the life of the warranty something other companies will never match.

      Select Home Warranty is the worst home warranty company today. The people handles claims reside overseas, hard to communicate, do not listen, bad manner, and don't have a sense of legal responsibilities per the written policy. They create all kinds of excuses not even mentioned or listed on the policy to deny. Their jobs is to pay unreasonable minimum or totally deny. If we cannot stop this kind of business operation, stay away from it.

      I have been using another warranty company for a very long time and wanted to make a change just to see what was different. I went with Select Home Warranty. They gave me a better rate compared to the previous warranty company for the same duration. Plus the trip fee was lower than the previous company as well. The enrollment process was simple and SAM the enrollment specialist provided me all the answers patiently and did not push me to sign up. I'm quite happy thus far. Now look forward to experience the actual service and will update or provide another feedback at that point.
