I filed a claim online for my dishwasher. The services provided by the contractor and Select for my claim was very professional. The contractor was on time and prepared.

I am pretty satisfied with my warranty experience. The representatives are easy to speak with and my claims do get processed within a reasonable amount of time. The only downfall is that sometimes the wait hold does get pretty long especially in the summer. I assume it has to do with a lot of calls coming in but if that was streamlined a bit better they would get a much higher rating from me.

The compressor to my HVAC system was making loud, squealing noises so I opted to completely shut the system down. When I called Select to ask for service, they said they do not schedule service for "noises" complaints. I said the noise was coming from the compressor to the HVAC system and they refused to send anyone to investigate. They said I should call my own HVAC person and have them investigate and they would reimburse me depending on the repairs. Knowing at this point that is the only way I would get anything done, I called an HVAC repair/service company. As a result of the technician's investigation/troubleshooting, he determined I had very low-pressure readings and was lacking sufficient amount of freon. Upon further investigation, he determined the coil on the air handler was not working properly.
When I called Select to notify them that the technician was available for a conversation, he explained to them what he had found. They called me back and determined, without even seeing my unit or verification from my service technician, that the freon leak was the reason my coil went bad and they stated they do not cover any problems related to freon. This is the fourth service call made to Select for various reasons and they have not covered a single problem. I will be canceling my contract as I am NOT paying them to do absolutely NOTHING!!! They are worthless to me. I wish I had done more research before contracting with them!!

I have had problems with Select since I paid my $400 last year, they always find some reason not to pay for services. My AC broke down, I have it serviced every year yet they refuse to pay anything towards replacing the system. When they are selling you the contract they say they will cover everything and that all you have to pay is $45. Don't believe them, they are hard to get in touch with, they are rude and they care nothing about your problem. All they want is your money. I am going back to American Home Shield, much better company!

Scammers, unprofessional, just plain fraud. Denied 2 out of 3 legitimate claims and the one they partially covered, I had to fight hard for it. Extremely unprofessional management. Denied a claim for fridge suggesting it was a gasket even without sending a technician to the house. This resulted in having to purchase a new fridge out of the emergency. When cancel policy they offered 7 dollars out of 450 I paid with 7 months left on the policy.

I never write reviews...but felt I needed to for this company. My experience has been awful. Every customer service rep I have spoken to has been rude, and sounded like they hate their job. Terribly unhelpful...and I will tell you that I have been kind and calm each time I called in. Just bitter for no reason. I spoke to a supervisor that told me one thing, and the company didn't stand behind it. They will find any, every way or loophole they can to avoid paying out a claim. They boast about a 24/7, 365 days a year workforce of contractors...that is simply not true. I had to find my own contractor because they didn't have one that would call me back. I had to contact 2 contractors multiple times over multiple days and they never called me back. Don't waste your money on this company until they learn how to treat customers.

My furnace went up a week ago (Wednesday). I made the claim online and had to follow up the next day because I never received a confirmation. They did send a contractor that day and he told me I needed to have my furnace replaced. He said he would call Select and call me the next day. I never heard anything. I called back 4 times over the weekend and each time they told me the contractor had not been in contact with them and I was "top priority" and someone would call me back as soon as possible.
Come Monday, I still had not heard from anyone. I reached out to the contractor and he stated he was unable to get in contact with someone at Select to report his findings. I called Select on Monday and they stated again that didn't hear from the contractor. I asked if they could reach out to him directly because he couldn't reach anyone regarding the claim.
Tuesday morning, a claims representative called me and said they were able to talk to the contractor. He then asked me if I had the last three years of maintenance done on the furnace. I told him that I had only lived in the home for a year and would not be able to provide that information. He then told me the only thing they could do was reimburse me $150 after I had the furnace replaced (and they weren't even willing to help me contact the contractor to have it replaced).
I then asked him if this is something that the salesman should have stated to me knowing that I had just recently purchased my home. He said Yes but he was just trying to make a sale and they do not have to deal with the backlash. I would love to know how I can provide three years of maintenance when I was not the prior owner, sounds crazy to me! Needless to say, I will be cancelling my policy. I would rather lose out on the money I spent than continue to deal with inconsiderate, sneaky people.

I have been with Select Home Warranty since 12/30/15 and recently renewed my contract in 12/2016 with the representative Kyle **. Since that time period I did not file a claim until a few days ago. 2/3/17 to be exact to request service on my refrigerator. I submitted the claim form electronically and received a call on the next day from a representative to get more information on my claim and was told that my form was submitted to dispatch. Two days passed and I never received a call from anyone to confirm the form was received or if a repair person had been notified. I must add after having a contract with American Home Shield that had excellent service in follow-ups and call backs I was expecting the same service from this warranty service. Unfortunately, this was not the case, in fact I had a bad taste in my mouth after speaking with Edward, ext. ** that declined to give me his last name when I asked him.
I explained to him my experience of not getting any confirmation from the service repair person and it had been two days in which I submitted my claim form, and God forbid if this would have been an emergency I had not gotten a follow-up by anyone. He was rude and tried to give the excuse that the order had been submitted to Rick's Appliance, but there was an emergency the reason no one had gotten in touch with me. I was not given an option and nor did he suggest he would submit the claim to another contractor to meet my service request on my refrigerator.
He (Edward) abruptly end my conversation by switching the line over where there was music on the other line. Before he abruptly and disrespectfully disconnected me indirectly I told him that I wanted to terminate my contract and his response was that since the call and claim had been placed that he could only refund the difference of a prorated amount of 199.96. That amount was an auto draft of $99.98 in December when I accepted to renew my contract and another $99.98 drafted on 1/30/17.
The prorated refund he quoted was $56.20 after the adjustment. I called to speak with the representative that I renewed the contract with Kyle **, my customer representative, 1-855-267-3532, to explain the bad experience I had and how rude his manager was and Kyle asked that I hold while he spoke with Mr. Edward to resolve the matter. The outcome was negative results, this business has to be looked into to avoid other customers being treated in such a manner.

I filed a claim with them on a Sunday that my heating unit was not working and it was currently 57 degrees in my home. I am a single mother of three children and one child under the age of 1.

The tech diagnosed the problem, sent me an email and reported it to Select Warranty for an authorization to fix the problem. I also forwarded the email to Select Warranty. I then had to wait another 24-48 hours before they authorize the repair work to get done. Then had to wait and schedule another appointment with the tech to come out and fix the problem again. We are now 5 days and counting with no heat. I do not recommend this company to anyone and I am looking into cancelling my policy.

This the worst company for home protection. My furnace went out on January 27, 2017. A service person came out on Wednesday February 1, 2017. He gave the diagnostic report of the motor overheating and don't run, motor is binding won't turn and told us our service charges. He sent the email to Select Home Warranty. They sent back a email acknowledging they received it. He also sent us a copy. The young lady who answered the phone said that they had not received any email. I told her that they had sent back an email so I know they got it. I was told that it will take another 24 to 48 hours for someone to get back with me.
I asked to speak to a supervisor whose name is Charles. He told me that there was nothing that they could do about it. It had to go to the claims department to see if it was covered and they had to see why it's not working which didn't make sense to me. I asked him if he didn't know if the motor was covered and he said no so my question to him was why would it cover heating and air if the motor isn't covered. I told him that I would call the Better Business Bureau. I also said that I will give the company a bad review. I have called the company on three different occasions and they have not fixed anything but did receive payment.
Don't waste your time anymore with this company. The service person told us we were going to have trouble trying to get our furnace fixed with this company. I've called this company out for plumbing problems. I called them up for the electrical problems and also about a refrigerator and they fixed nothing. Don't use this company!

My washer was not working (Spin option was not working). Called Select Home Warranty added a claim on Dec 30th. Service technician called me back on Jan 3rd. Service technician was not a professional one either. (Some local company). Did not explain what's wrong with the machine. He said it will take few days for him to get the parts. He came and replaced some parts on his schedule.. We don't know whether he changed something or not... We have the same problem with our washer again and called Select home warranty (Worst warranty service you can get).
I need to pay the copay again even though the issue is still there.. The reason is first claim was made on Dec 30th (even though got the service after a week). Second claim for the same issue is made on Jan 30th so it's more than a month, so I have to pay the copay... Customer service personnel was so rude (talked with three) and even hang up the phone... I tried to talk to the manager and he is always busy and won't talk to me... He will call back in 24hrs.. Worst customer service experience... Don't even plan for getting warranty from these guys...

I had a problem (not working at all) with my dishwasher ($600 USD) which is just 6 years old where SHW failure to repair nor reimburse for the new one. They sent me an email that they reimburse $125 for cost of repair or to buy new one for whatever I choose, which I had already paid $95 ($50 + $45) for handy man's (two times) for just diagnosis.
Now I have bought new one, the cost is $1000 USD. After submitting the invoice, now they are telling me "$125 email was sent mistakenly. Sorry for the inconvenience. Now we can reimburse only $100."

I contacted Select Home Warranty on January 12, 2017. I requested service in my refrigerator, dryer, and my roof. I received a call saying that the refrigerator was not covered. I said ok, but how about the dryer and the roof. I was told that they were still trying to locate someone for those repairs. I called a few days ago, and I was told that they are still trying to find someone to come. Today I'm told that there was no service in my area, and I would have to pay for it and then be reimbursed.

I purchased a home warranty from Select Home Warranty in June and everything was great until I filed a claim in December. They gave me a claim number but never called me back to set me up a tech visit. I called three times and was promised a call back from the manager to make things right but never received one. Finally in January, I called an independent contractor, who gave me an estimate that I shared with Select Home Warranty. They immediately called me then and said they would not pay to repair the appliance but offered me an in-lieu depreciated cost of $125 for my refrigerator. I asked how they calculated this cost and was told, it was at their discretion and I could take it or leave it.
When I called and asked for a refund, the manager "Edward" was rude and condescending and attempted to belittle me for not wanting to accept the $125. I want my refrigerator repaired as promised and I additionally paid $85 to the independent contractor. I have called back 3 times to speak with Jamal, the "invisible" floor manager, but he is always unavailable and they promise he will call back but we are now at 96 hours and counting with no call from Select Home Warranty.

I pay for the platinum service warranty I purchased March of 2016. I called in on 1/6/17 at 3:00 pm central time. I talked to Samantha and advised my furnace stopped working and am I able to send a contractor local to diagnose due to the frigid temperature and elderly couple in the home. She advised yes and she spoke with my contractor who gave the diagnosis and his advice of replacing the unit. She said due to circumstance of weather she would expedite and I would receive a call back. I did not get a call but email asking for pictures of my unit and maintenance records. I then compiled and sent in. I have used the same contractor for years as a HVAC tech. He sent me invoices and never had a issue but a cleaning yearly. I still did not get a call.
I called Saturday and spoke with a gentleman who advised due to the nature of weather and elderly use my contractor and submit the invoice for reimbursement. The replacement was $2000. Now Select is refusing to pay claim stating false documents. I advised this is what I received and never a issue with my unit. If I had any major issues this would not have been the original unit with house built in 2002.
This is the second time they did not want to pay for a claim. All they will offer is $100. I am paying for a service which does not want to hold to their contract. When you sign up they acknowledge no matter the issue or age Select covers. Well I am finding out until it's time to claim they do not want to pay. I have done everything asked by this company. My unit has been maintained as it has lasted 12 years. Their contract all units are covered in good working condition, which is proven my unit is as I still have it. 10.1 of their contract states repair/replacement increases to $2000 after first three months of coverage. Again if this unit was not maintained it would not have been in service this long.

I purchased the top of the line home warranties from this company for our primary home and a rental home that we own. I received a call from my renters stating that the hot water tank is leaking and they don't have hot water. I placed a claim with Select Home Warranty on 12/29/16 early in the morning. I received an email on 12/30/16 stating that they have assigned a contractor to go look at the hot water tank. I called and talked with contractor and he said that the hot water tank needs replaced and he submitted this to Select Home Warranty.
I then called Select Home Warranty to expedite this since we are coming upon a Holiday weekend. Select Home denied the claim because the contractor had stated the "drip leg was originally installed improperly and upside down". I let the contractor know this and he said that the drip leg has nothing to do with the water tank leaking and he had never heard of this. Bottom line, Select Home Warranty will deny a claim for any reason they can find. This hot water tank is from 1991 and needs replaced. So, I will have to pay for the water tank to be replaced even though I paid for the Home Warranty. I will not renew with this company. They are slow to respond and will not pay for anything if they can find a way to get out of it. If you do use them, keep each and every receipt from all maintenance on any of your appliances, HVAC etc. or they won't cover it either.

Over the last 6 months, I have had to contact Select Home Warranty multiple times. On a major oven issues, I am still trying to get resolution after over 4 months of constant contact. They are so unresponsive and at every turn find excuses to give lousy service. I recently was promised by Jermel (Customer Service Manager) an amount to cover a problem for my oven. The oven needs $800 in repairs, he only authorized $200. Now, when the documentation came through to sign, they are only authorizing $130. I then called back to the customer service department to get a resolution. I was told that they had to deduct the $45 service fee. I then had to explain that I paid the $45 service fee to the technician that came out earlier on the call for the service. The person on the phone had no authority to fix anything and had to defer to Jermel who is now supposed to call me back.
Even if they found a justification to charge me $45 co-pay again, the math is $200-$45 which is $155 and not $130. Seriously, don't walk away from this company. RUN RUN RUN. BTW, years ago, I had **. I remember having to process a claim for a major repair. The experience was straight forward, honest and easy. There is absolutely no comparison with Select Home Warranty.

I had a plan with Select Home Warranty for 4 months when I had occasion to use it to get my dishwasher repaired as it wasn't draining properly. When I placed the claim I was told the contractor, Delta Appliance, would get in touch with me within 24 hours. 36 hours went by and I finally had to call them. They didn't want to come out for another 5 days but I convinced them to make it 3 days. The serviceman came out, said we needed a new drain pump, collected his $60 service fee, and said it would take about 2 days to get the part. 3 days went by and when I didn't hear anything I called Delta. The person that answered the phone said "oh they didn't call you" and said she had to look up the information and would get back to me within 10 minutes. Within 10 minutes I got a call from Select stating that my repair had been approved and that they'd pay for the part but not the labor.
I told them there was nothing in their contract that stated they didn't pay for labor as I'd read the whole thing twice but they cited some paragraph toward the end of the contract (it wasn't contained in any of the paragraphs regarding each appliances repair) where it was buried at the very end of the paragraph in the incidentals they didn't cover like door handles, damage to the surface, etc. and the mention of the installation in that paragraph made you think it was only referring to items in that paragraph but they use it to get out of paying for the labor. I asked how much the labor would be and they said about $90. I promptly cancelled my contract and told them what they could do with it.
When the cancellation department called me back to see why I was cancelling and when I told them about it they claimed it was how they kept the cost of their contracts down. Now I'd done plenty of research before signing with Select and costs were all the same within a few dollars of each other and the only thing that varied was the service fee depending on the service fee amount you picked. I complained to the Better Business Bureau but all the company did was refund the most recent payment they'd collected. Now it's on to the Attorney General to get them for fraud.

In January 2016 we were looking for new home warranties for our new house purchase. Select Home Warranty seemed to have the best rates. Other home warranty companies also contacted us and several of them said NOT to go with Select Home Warranty. We ignored their advice and went with them anyway. In March 2016 our garage door opener broke and we couldn't get the garage door opened. I called SHW to file a claim. Since our cars were stuck in the garage and we needed to get out we needed urgent service. SHW told me to go ahead and find a contractor and get it fixed ASAP and that SHW would reimburse us for the cost minus the service fee. I found a contractor, they came out within several hours, fixed the garage door, I paid $200 and we were taken care of.
I submitted the receipt to SHW for reimbursement. Over a period of 6 months, I got passed from person to person and never received my reimbursement. I had to resubmit the reimbursement several times due to it not being in the system. I got disconnected several times and was put on hold for as long as 30 minutes on other times. Some, not all, of the customer service reps were rude and seemed overworked. To make a long story short, I finally received the reimbursement check in September.
On December 6, 2016 I filed a new claim for plumbing issues. The claim was filed, a service rep called me and confirmed the claim. She was not pleasant and seemed a bit rushed. She told me that I would get a confirmation email along with a list of contractors to call within 24-48 hours. As of this writing (December 19, 2016) I still have yet to receive that email. Once again feeling left out and forgotten. The feeling that I now have to call them again, be put on hold, talk to a rude customer service rep, and be told my claim is not in the system, passing the buck again.
At this point, I've come to the realization that SHW is incompetent, poor management and customer service, and really just wants your money upfront. I already paid in full for the warranty. They got my money and I hope they are happy. I'm taking my business elsewhere and filing a complaint with the BBB. In a nutshell, DO NOT choose Select Home Warranty unless you want bad, slow, or no service at all. Go elsewhere.

Now Select home warranty requests 3 years of maintenance which we don't have simply because we HAVEN'T BEEN IN OUR HOUSE 3 YEARS!

It only applies if you can show 3 years of maintenance record like the contract says at the bottom of it! This is a shame!
I specifically asked the rep before buying if our old HVAC would be covered and the answer was yes without ever mentioning the need of 3 years of record! I totally feel I have met the requirements they asked of me but THEY DON'T! Also they refused to cover a simple plumbing leak. Reason? It was not properly installed!?! SERIOUSLY!!!

The second was a cracked stove top which they did not cover due to someone dropping something on it. This was understandable. The third was a hot water heater leaking.

My tenant has to stay elsewhere tonight, and pipes could freeze and cause a flood. Incredibly, the Philippines-based phone-answering service for Select Home Warranty could promise only that I will hear from the company's claims department by the end of the business day Monday! I will update this if I hear from Select Home Warranty and the claim gets handled on Sunday.

I had a some plumbing issues at home. Select Home Warranty sent a plumber to my home the same day. The plumber was very professional and courteous. The repairs were completed the same day and I have had no issues ever since. The service is very good. I highly recommend it.

Had issues with the garage door. Select Home Warranty hired a contractor to come to my home and make repairs on it. It took the contractor 3 days to come. And when he did come he was not very polite to me. That is the only reason why I am giving this review 3 stars. Select Home Warranty service is very good but the contractor they sent was not.

I filed a claim for my garbage disposal. A contractor called me that afternoon to schedule an appointment for the next day. After he inspected the garbage disposal he said that it would cost a lot of money to repair it and it would be better to just have it changed out. He called SHW for me while he was in my home and got them to ok to the replacement unit. He came back later that week to change it out for me. Thank you for your help SHW.

Omg called our Microwave burned up. "No problem because it is 13 yrs old we will give you $95 towards a new one." I figured no sweat I understand. Still waiting on my $95 and that was a month ago - gets better than our thermostat no power??? Called for service man - read an email 3 days later to call this company with name phone number. Called. "So sorry we do not have a contract with Select Home Warranty company???" What? She said "yes you are about our 15th customer that has called and we do no do business with Select???" Called Select back - they sent me another email 2 days later. "Here is the company that will come and fix your issue." Called them today. Are you ready..."We do not do business with Select???" They take $40 every month for over a yr and they are NOT a company???

DO NOT BUY YOUR HOMEOWNER WARRANTY THROUGH THIS COMPANY! Their Customer Service is the worst I have ever dealt with. I have put in 2 claims with the company. The first one was for broken water heater. When I originally put in the claim they told me it would be about a week before they could get anyone to my house. I told them that was unacceptable since I was having 10 people staying at my house in two days. I was irate. I will say Jonnel was helpful and did finally find a plumber to come to my house. My water heater was not repairable and they told me they would only give me $150 towards a new one because it was 15 years old. A new one costs $1200-1500 fully installed. Not acceptable, but that is all that they would do.
Second claim was for our dishwasher. I put in a claim and had not heard anything for 6 weeks. I sent them an email and then I got a call. They said that they have not been able to find a tech in my area. Are you kidding me??? That is BS. Then the guy goes on to tell me that I can call a tech and get reimbursed. This is NOT Acceptable. I will have them get the tech out and pay my $45 service fee. I'm not going to pay for it and then wait for them to reimburse me. This company is awful. DO NOT Buy a HO Warranty from them. They should be put out of business.

I called Select Home Warranty to file a claim on Nov. 23rd, 2016. As of today 11/30/2016 I have not had a contractor call to set up an appt. to look at our non working heating system. I have called the warranty company at least 2 times daily to see if they have a number for me to call. They tell me they are still working on it and that I have the option to call a contractor myself. I paid my warranty in full and should not have to do all the work. I think their 5 star rating is a JOKE. Will not be renewing with this company. So disappointing!

When signing up the policy they do not disclose all the loops on what is covered and what is not. I called in to get a report a claim about a cook top vent fan underneath the built in microwave. First I had to go through two agents to get my claim in and then I get a email saying the claim is denied as the value of the microwave replacement is greater than the allowable amount. I could get the microwave replaced myself but will only be refunded a portion of the cost. This assessment was done without even confirming with me what I stated as the problem.
Secondly I called to clarify that the microwave is working fine but the vent fan below the microwave is the issue and they instantly said the vent fan is not covered by the policy. Lesson learnt is to always read every single line of the contract before signing anything. I cancelled my policy and had to take $75 deduction from the original price as that is their policy and the sales person will never disclose that when selling the policy. Overall a very sour experience and will never deal with this company again.

My microwave was not working. When the contractor hired by Select Home Warranty came to my house to diagnose my problem he said that to fix it was going to cost more than a new one. He called Select while he was in my home and was able to have them approve a brand new one to be installed. I had a new microwave the next morning.

Save your money, these people are complete scammers in every way. I could not find any service people within my area that would work with these people. They are late on their payments and as a result no one with work with them. Unfortunately I did not ask around before I spent the money. It has been over 2 months trying to get a refund. I have folders full of emails and notes on my attempts to get a refund and at every juncture I am told to "be patient", "the check was sent out", "wait a few more days" and don't expect to be treated politely or with respect. These people are rude, obnoxious and abrupt. People must really be hard up for a job if they are working for a company that is a complete scam and feel customer service is taking your money and not providing any form of reputable service!! Stay far away!!!

I closed on a house in June, I chose Select warranty, and as soon as I move in and contact Select in regards to my contract, I was met with a beyond rude associate who asked for my contract info. Telling him I'm looking through my paperwork for it, he states he doesn't have time to wait, told me when I find it to call him back and then hung up on me. That's my first complaint. I immediately then called another warranty company and opened a contract with someone else.
Since then I, and my title company have been trying to collect the $500 refund check. This company has supposedly sent multiple checks and issued stop payments on them just as quick, but no one has seen a check anywhere. I last spoke with them 3 weeks ago, my title company conference called them and they were issuing the check as we spoke. That also was a lie. There is still no check to be seen. Select Home Warranty is a company that doesn't care whether you're satisfied or not, and if you stop business with them, they just give you the runaround. Your personnel have no integrity or respect.
