    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.

    Prices are based on quotes for a home in Houston and are accurate at the time of publishing.

    The home warranty company also offers some nice-to-have optional add-on coverage plans.

    Discounts

    Select Home Warranty offers discounts for multiyear coverage plans. Select also offers periodic discounts. For example, when getting our quote, we received a discount for two months free and $150 off.

    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:

    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 $60).
    4. 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:

    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.

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 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
    • 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

    For example, Select Home Warranty lists the following exclusions for its coverage on dishwashers: 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.

      I had to make 4 phone calls before getting Velma who has hopefully helped get my washer repaired. The first repair man came three days later. That was Tuesday, May 7. He said he would order the part and be back Saturday, May 11 to install. I haven’t seen or heard from him since. I called on Tuesday and today to get someone to call the repair man and get him moving. The girl yesterday told me she would call me back in two hours last night. She never called. I called again today and finally got someone to get things rolling. I am still waiting on a repair man so I am basically starting over. Today I am satisfied with progress but I am still pissed at the overall picture. It takes too long for you guys to get things done. I had a problem with my refrigerator several months ago. That repair guy did not know what he was doing, he left saying everything was fine but I still have problems with it.

        I usually don't take the time to leave reviews.. even if they are good.. but I had to take the time to praise Select Home Warranty and the AC vendor 'Doing Service' and my AC tech Alex. So I was out of town when my neighbor informed me my AC was acting up (I like in SW Florida, it's 100 degrees down here already) so I filed a claim on a sunday afternoon, monday morning they called me and had an appointment scheduled for monday at 11am. Well I was still out of town, was not flying back home till 6pm monday..

        The tech assigned with Doing Service Alex was amazing! He stayed in contact with me, when I landed at airport I text him I was on way home, got home at 7pm he was here waiting for me. It was a steamy 87 degrees in my condo... Alex crawled up in the attic, went outside, found the issue (blown compressor). He fixed it in 20 minutes, AC was back up and running. Service call was only $65. He even took a peek at my other unit for no charge, just to make sure it looked ok. Way to go Alex.

        Not sure where to begin with the exceptional Customer Service and Support received from Select Home Warranty. From the beginning of the call the attentiveness of our service representative was like no other. He provided several plans that would meet our needs including plans that covered a wide span of several years which would save us lots of money for the long haul. Additionally, after months of research we decided on Select for their unmatched customer service and 24/7 service call line in the event of an emergency. We were going to call another company to price comparison but 1 representative explained the value of Select if we were to sign up with them and also offered an additional incentive of lowering our service calls to seal the deal. Select is the only warranty provider I would recommend as their reviews speaks for themselves for existing clients as well.

        Looking for a "replacement" warranty to the one I had had for 8+ years through SEARS, I wasn't sure which one to go with, especially with so many options to chose from. After a very brief conversation with the first potential company (argumentative and very unwelcome), I went on to Select Home and spoke with Robert **, who probably spent 40 minutes reviewing the options best suited for my two-family home. He listened to the copious questions I asked and had prompt, and as it turned out from a subsequent call, accurate information regarding coverage and pricing.

        I never felt rushed like he had to get off the phone to take the next call and make the next sale. In fact, we worked out an agreement, given my age--66, that put me in a plan that was even more equitable than initially thought. So, if Robert is paid on commission based on the final price, he went to bat for me over the company he represents. At this juncture, I suspect that Select Home has a customer for at least three years, and probably more.

        Recently, I had a remarkably positive experience with a customer service call that left me impressed and satisfied. From the moment the call connected, I was greeted by a friendly and professional representative who exuded genuine warmth and empathy. Their demeanor instantly put me at ease, setting a positive tone for the interaction. Throughout the call, the representative demonstrated exceptional listening skills, attentively addressing my concerns and patiently guiding me through each step of the resolution process. They took the time to fully understand the complexity of my issue, asking insightful questions and providing clear explanations along the way.

They offered creative solutions and went above and beyond to ensure that my needs were not only met but exceeded. Their proactive approach and attention to detail left me feeling valued as a customer and reassured that my problem was in capable hands.

        I would NEVER recommend this company. Have had horrible experience. Our $800 microwave broke, they gave us $100. Our water sprinkler system broke (mind you we bought the yard and pool service extra), refused to pay, our pool broke (after accepting the money for pool service) said they don't cover such. Our AC broke refused to return our calls for almost one month, would not provide answer to claim, dishonest, had to report them to insurance commissioner. DO NOT USE THIS company, they will take your money and not provide the service. NOT ONCE have they had a technician to assist us, we have always had to find our own. They will NOT pay, only take your money.

        Terrible, terrible service and misinformation about what's covered. This is the worst warranty company I've ever dealt with. I'm sorry I am under contract with them. The people they've outsourced for your initial phone calls cannot be understood and provide customers with no confidence. The company was unable to provide a plumber for me - which was surprising - so I had to find my own. Then I went through multiple people who each asked me again and again for my address, email, etc., when I called for authorization of payment to the plumber I hired. You're required to have an estimate from a plumber and have the plumber respond to their questions.

        After this annoying series of phone calls and conversations with me and the plumber, the company stated that they couldn't authorize the payment until three days later. I'm frustrated, I just had the plumber do the work without authorization for repayment. After three days, the company wrote me that my claim was not authorized for repayment - for a toilet leak! - which is clearly authorized in my contract. I can protest this denial but it means I have to do so by phone and I don't want to go through that frustration of speaking with their outsourced phone staff.

        Scam. They will deny claims and deny claims until you give up. They “promise” to pay for claims and the checks never come. When I declined a payment more than 24 days after the check was due, they said they didn’t pay it because a payment declined. It declined because I turned off the card More that 15 days AFTER the check was due. Scam company and fake good reviews. Can’t leave messages for the claims reps and can’t get thru to one. Can’t see any claim information such as status, payment confirmations or receipts and no way to “manage your account” for their website. I would NOT recommend this company.

        Terrible Experience with Select Home Warranty and Mosqueda Refrigeration - A/C Still Not Fixed After a Month in 120-Degree Heat. I am beyond frustrated with both Select Home Warranty and Mosqueda Refrigeration LLC. I submitted a claim in August for my A/C, and it’s now September—I still don’t have air conditioning in 120-degree Arizona heat! The first technician from Mosqueda Refrigeration never showed up, and despite requesting a new service provider, Select Home Warranty kept sending the same unreliable company that never came.

        Mosqueda initially claimed they came on a day I never even selected and didn’t bother to inform me. After showing proof that their claim was false, they finally scheduled another visit. When they did come, the technician couldn’t do anything because they needed authorization from Select Home Warranty, meaning I waited days for nothing. Now, I’m stuck waiting even longer for the authorization process, followed by waiting for this unprofessional A/C company to maybe come back and actually do the work. To make matters worse, Select Home Warranty tried to deny my claim by falsely stating the unit was installed wrong. My A/C has worked perfectly for seven years—if it was installed incorrectly, it wouldn’t have functioned at all. Clearly, this was an attempt to avoid covering my valid claim.

        This entire process has been a nightmare. I’ve paid so much money for this home warranty, only to receive poor customer service, slow authorizations, and absolutely no urgency or accountability from either company. In 120-degree heat, this lack of urgency is completely unacceptable—especially since my husband is disabled and the heat is severely affecting his health. Neither Select Home Warranty nor Mosqueda Refrigeration has shown any compassion or professionalism throughout this ordeal.

        Select Home Warranty needs to better manage their service providers and implement consequences for companies that fail to serve their customers. Mosqueda Refrigeration is unreliable, unprofessional, and has shown no accountability for their complete failure to deliver any service. This entire experience has been beyond frustrating, and I will be reporting both companies to the Better Business Bureau. I highly recommend avoiding both Select Home Warranty and Mosqueda Refrigeration at all costs.

        I would give them zero stars but that is not an option. Do yourself a favor and get someone else. I submitted a claim for my A/C, Select sent out a contractor to fix the unit, but then they denied the claim, so I had to pay for it myself. Select stated that the price was too high, and the contractor was not approved but they sent that contractor to me.
