    I was pleasantly surprised about how good the service was with SHW. When I had my claim filed the staff was super nice and professional. They got me a repair man right away who fixed the issue and replaced the necessary parts. When it came time to renew my policy this year I did not hesitate.

    We bought the policy when we purchased our home last year. We haven't had any claim issues until recently. I submitted a claim online for our dishwasher that was acting up. SHW sent out a contractor who had to replace a part in the machine. The part alone cost over $150 which did not include the service fees for the contractor. I only had to pay the $45 deductible which was fantastic. I saved a lot of money so far.

    Had some issues with our fridge. I contacted Select Home Warranty as soon as the issues happened and they took down information about the fridge and what the issue was. I was told that a contractor would be calling me to schedule an appointment to look at the fridge. The contractor was able to come down to me the SAME DAY and he was able to make the repairs on the spot! You have no idea how much money I saved. None of my food was thrown away and the cost to repair the fridge was more than what the policy cost me. Very speedy service.

    To start the person who was setting my stuff up left or got fired. So all my stuff was messed up. I called claims about hot water heaters. They said put in claim and send in where I paid for new ones and it was covered. Couple days after my washer dryer were broken I called. Something told me to get new ones and put in claim. I did. I paid around 4500 all this stuff. I got a email stating not covered cause I was there 30 days. No one told me this! Ok then I paid extra roof leak. I had roof leak. I called, put in claim. It took 2 weeks for someone to come out, big leak and whole now. They send in what need to be repaired. Well again not covering cause it over 150 to fix it. You can't use over 150 in first 3 months. So I'm out again. This is very very sad.

    I contacted them as per contract, and informed them that my preventive maintenance service Tech. identified a leak in my A/C system (it was not at the correct level). Select refused to send a Tech. to determine what the problem could be. They said that cooling fluid leakage is not covered. First of all I paid extra for Freon Coverage, but they called it "Cooling Fluid" (there's not such animal), and refused to send a Tech. I said "How do you even know the problem if you will not send someone to determine the issue, because it could be anyone of several items covered by the warranty, (Compressor, condenser etc...)." I was getting nowhere with numerous calls, then they finally blocked all my calls so I could not call them. The matter was closed according to them. I had sent 12 emails, made countless phone calls, but they were done even though they had not sent a Tech. which is in accordance to the contract.

    I was forced to contact the Better Business Bureau for a formal complaint. They just blew them off as well, claiming my issue was a cooling fluid leak. There is not and never has been anything referred to as "Cooling Fluid" but that where I stand, and though I have Freon Coverage, they are calling it cooling fluid. WHAT? They do not care if you contact the BBB or anyone else. They have my $425.00 and they're keeping it without fulfilling the contract obligations, and there not one thing you or anyone else can do about it...

    I am now 10 days since I filed my service claim for a clothes washer. I reside in Dallas, TX. The service company came out the next day and spent 2 hours taking the washer apart and indicated he wasn't sure of what needed to happen and would be in getting in touch with Select Home warranty. Given that I have extra family here for the Thanksgiving holiday not having a clothes washer has been a terrible inconvenience. I have now spend the last 4 business days calling and having a new service rep from SHW explaining that since it was in my first 90 days they would only cover $150 of the repair or replacement. After having them agree I have been in the program over 100 days they agreed it should be covered at the $500 level. I keep hearing they would need to get with review board for next steps all the while another day without our washer.

    Yesterday was a circus (on 3 different call that I initiated). They kept telling me that they had responded by email and had I gotten it. (which I hadn't) Then was told a manager would call me in 20 mins. on two different occasions. I am still in limbo on Thanksgiving day waiting to hear what's next. This is my first claim. I can only imagine what my future experiences will be. My attorney reviewed the contract it is poorly written and confusing. I am now getting the understanding that I will pay for the repair/replacement and submit the invoice and start the process. I remain optimistic that they may still solve things yet have been incredible disappointed so far.

The person I spoke to was very polite, efficient and answered all my questions. They were able to get a contractor out later that day to take a look at the water heater. I ended up needing to just replace a faulty part which had to be ordered. The repairs were made within a reasonable amount of time. The contractor knew what he was doing.

    I'm waiting to hear from them about a claim for my washing machine. They sent an email upon initial claim being made, but the contractor called me and stated they "do not do business with Select any longer and in fact, sued them for non-performance (not paying them)". I've been waiting now for a callback from a "manager" to get me in contact with a new contractor. Have made four calls and continue being told a manager has to call me. So I'm not experiencing one iota of the experiences written here and genuinely question they are even valid customers, but rather posters paid by Select. Now I'm thinking how foolish I was to pay for 6 years of warranty coverage by this company. Hopeful Harrison **, Joseph **, or Elliott ** at ** will call me because that phone # is just an answering machine.

    Never had a more frustrating experience dealing with a company. We had a yearly contract for three years. Only during the last year had to file two claims. Both times it was a complete nightmare. Select is unresponsive and virtually impossible to get a hold of by phone. Countless hours arguing with them about what they were doing. It took a month for a broken microwave that we ultimately had to purchase a new one and get a reimbursement from them for $150. Second claim was for the oven - not operating. It's been a month and a half of half - with contractors showing up and refusing to repair the stove because they were not authorized by Select. DO NOT take out a warranty with this company. Waste of money.

    We purchased a 2yr warranty with Select for the specific purpose of covering our HVAC replacement when we bought our home, knowing the system was 17yrs old when we purchased the house. The unit was not in great shape and had some internal rust from, what I gathered, was some sort of leak in the history of the house before us. Long story short, when our HVAC unit finally died, Select pulled the typical warranty company BS and said "There's rust damage, so we don't cover that". I had certified HVAC tech's that inspected the unit at the time we purchased the home who came back and looked at it and said the unit had not incurred any damage beyond what was there when we purchased the home; in short, it died because it was now 19yrs old.

    So according to Select, my HVAC system was not going to be covered from the get-go... but "we'll go ahead and take your $700+ thank you!" Then they stopped returning phone calls and when I was supposed to get a call from their Office Manager... shocker... they never called. Absolute criminals. BTW... the best/worst part (other than the $3k+ bill for the new HVAC system) was I called the HVAC company Select sent out to do the HVAC call (who determined the unit was finally shot), and THEY (the HVAC company) said they were involved in THREE cases exactly like mine, ALL WITH SELECT, and they were now evaluating whether or not they were going to continue business with Select.

    I am reporting them to my state's Insurance Commission, as this kind of crap is just dirty, wrong, and pretty much con-artist business. I highly suggest, if you have been scammed by them like I have, you follow suit.

    My microwave went out in September. I contacted Select Home and submitted pictures of the built-in unit and supplied the model number and serial number. I was then told they do not repair microwave ovens and once I replace it they will send me $95.00. I had to purchase a new microwave and send them a copy of the invoice and relieve them of any additional responsibilities. I submitted all the requirements on September 20th, 2015 and was informed I would receive the $95 within 30 days.

    On October 20 I contacted them only to be told the check would go out on November 10th and it could be 7 to 10 days before I would receive it. Today is November 17th and no payment. I emailed them today and received email back that a check would be sent on November 24th. That means they have collected 3 months of more than $50/month from me and still have not reimbursed me the $95. It cost me the price of a new microwave plus $200 removal and installation on the new unit. Beware buyers!

They said they would send a check for $150, which only covers the service call fees to not have the problem fixed.

He told me that part is bad. Will come back with new one within a week. He never came back. When I called Select Home Warranty company they say cannot help me although they have the technician. I would say this is one of worst company and least reliable in terms of service.

    I have never gotten the type of response from any other home warranty company. I had a water leak, which was in the house, which resulted in me turning the water off to the house. When I called and told them I was told that I would get an email (which could a day) about how to proceed. I got the email a good day later telling that they needed pictures before they could do anything further. When the water company came they told me that I may just need to replace a particular part (which I did on my own) and so far so good. I have yet to hear anything from this warranty company. They lost a customer.

    Our washing machine was not spinning clothes dry. So we called Select Home Warranty since they were wanting us to renew our policy. First I got told "we will find a repair facility for you" and they did. He examined the washer and found the problem. We were told we should hear something by Monday. We didn't. Then Tues we called them. They needed a picture of the machine and a picture of the model numbers as well as the serial number. Then a email told us we would knew if the part was covered within 24 to 48 business hours. That was on November 03. When November 09 came I called again to be told it had been approved and the approval had been sent to the Shop, who never called us to tell us it had been approved. Now the shop is saying we are at the mercy of Samsung to get the part and no date for the washer to be in service was given. My wife has Pneumonia and this is a big burr under my saddle.

The contract is written such that the primary benefits don't kick in until after 4 months plus 5-7 business days. I don't recommend this policy under any circumstances. Beyond disappointed as more of the damage would have been covered had the claim been submitted just a few days after. In addition, the repairs weren't made until 11/5 and the cost was over $1000 total.

    I used the online claim service as requested. First I kept getting spammed to buy the warranty even after I signed in. Then a day later a man from India calls and I can't understand anything he is saying but I explained it is two issues. Then I get told I need to send in a picture of the garbage disposal to claims. Then another 24 hours passed and I am told that I need to find a plumber, and have them call with what's wrong and the cost. Then claims will determine if it is covered which by the contract I signed and paid for it is covered period with a 45 dollar co pay. Anyways, they said if it is covered to go ahead and pay then send in the bill and they will decide what to pay for? I am on disability and even if I was not, the repairs for the basement alone can run over a 1000 dollars and for anyone to come out is a service call fee.

    This company is a joke and I have asked for my money back since I have never used them. I had HMS before and went with this because it was lower priced and I thought I was getting a deal. People only go with HMS or Service one because the rest are scam artists and any good reviews you read in here about this company are probably them just making up a post. If I do not get my money back I will be contacting the BBB and I will go to my bank and have them reverse the charges as they have not provided the contracted services. Sadly, I bet I will have to take them to small claims to see my money back which I need to get a real warranty company.

    This company has been giving me a run around for months. It started in July of 2014 when the AC stop working. They sent a technician out who ^said the system needed replaced. The company ^told me they would not replace it or fix it but offered $125.00 for my trouble. It was $1800.00 for the tech they sent to fix it and they ^told me when the replacement was done with an appeal letter and all receipts and it was possible I would $200.00 towards the new unit. I was laid off at the time and decided to wait until June 2015 to replace the unit. The appeal with all receipts was sent on August 1, 2015 and again I was informed that all I would get is $125.00. I ^threw in the towel, signed the agreement, and faxed it back on 8/19. They claimed they never got it but I had the confirmation.

    I faxed the agreement again in early September. When I checked back a week later it was in processing. I checked back early Oct and again in processing and should be getting my $125.00 check in 2 weeks. Called again 2 weeks later and I was ^told it was being processed (again) and it would be here in a week. I called today, November 5 and my claim is closed and I should be getting a check within a week or two. Every time I ask to speak to a supervisor - they are in a meeting. I am done being patient with them. It certainly seems I am getting the run around. I am filing a claim with the BBB to warn others of these tactics.

    I submitted a claim for a garbage disposal that was not working and was told first that they would allow me $75.00 for a disposal but not pay to have it installed. I called and complained that I am totally disabled and what kind of home warranty company doesn't pay to have the item installed!?! If my A/C went on the fritz am I expected to install a replacement! I called and raised Holy H--L, I was transferred to a "Mr. **" who then offered me $150.00 and promised a check would be mailed to me.

    After several weeks of calling him and several sincere promises that I would get a check, after a month or more I got fed up and called again and again, then I was told that I had this company as a home warranty company when we bought the house, as a part of the realtor package. It appears I had cancelled them before and for good reason. I recalled that they sent me a check for the prorated part of the unused premium less the money they paid for a garbage disposal, so in effect I was forced to pay for my own claim and what's worse is the fact that the disposal they, I mean I paid for didn't last a year. I have been through open heart surgery and then a shattered leg, the result of a fall, so I had forgotten the name of the crooked warranty I had had before. I mistakenly bought from the same shyster company from New Jersey and worst of all I paid for a whole year in advance.

    That's my own fault but getting back to the claim after almost a month I was told by Mr ** that the board denied my check because they (I mean, I) paid for a disposal claim before with the previous policy. So, because the disposal they (I mean, I) paid for was not worth a crap and failed after less than 15 months. I had no input on the brand or type of disposal they (I mean, I) paid for, and no input on who installed the inferior piece of crap but I was denied the $150.00 that was agreed to and that I waited a month for. No mention of the fact that they subtracted the cost of the claim from my refund. No mention of the fact that this was a whole different policy that was prepaid for.

    Now I am still waiting for my refund on the cancelling of this policy, it has again been over a month. This company is a fraud and should be run out of every state they do business in. I am going to write to the New Mexico Insurance Commissioner and, as a former Property & Casualty agent I will have a little bit of clout with his department. Do not do business with these thieves. YOU WILL COME AWAY WITH LESS MONEY IN YOUR POCKET AND END UP PAYING FOR YOUR OWN CLAIMS!

    I have no way of putting a copy of the check for $679.00 on this review. That's a lot of money for a totally 100% disabled Vet. This Mr ** is a total liar that would put Hillary to shame when it comes to lying. He tries to come across as so concerned for your well-being but in reality he is just as crooked as the owners or "board" of this disgraceful company. I suppose in New Jersey they would pass for honest but I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't go postal toward this den of thieves. They are shameless!!

    We will definitely not renew our warranty with SHW. We have had legitimate fixes on multiple occasions and this is how the best case scenario normally goes - wait on hold for 10 minutes just to be transferred to someone who then hangs up on you, finally make the claim and beg customer service to reimburse you, wait 60 days to get reimbursed then you call them to inquire about the holdup and they say they will have the payment out immediately (i.e. they never sent the payment out in the first place).

    Worst case scenario - they don't reimburse you at all for an emergency fix because you called your own tech on a Sunday (after calling them with no answer), then when you push the case with them telling them it was a gas leak (which then brought about other problems with our oven), they refuse to pay for it because a "gas leak isn't covered"... Even though the other 2 oven fixes were items that should have been covered. So either it takes months of micromanaging to get a measly $150 out of them or they give you excuse after excuse to not cover you.

I filed my first claim about 2 months after my policy was purchased only to find out that the item I was approved for was said to not be covered. Second claim was to fix the spring and garage door rod. I called the warranty people and informed them of the problem. They told me they would send me a confirmation of the repair company I was to use. Well I called the repair company to schedule an appointment for repair. The guy comes out on the scheduled day, diagnosed the problem, and said that he had to call it in because that was the policy of SHW. He called and was told that they would need to send it up for approval and it could take a day or so, but collect the trade fee.

    Due to this being something I need to get done and let alone a waste of both my and the contractor's time, I paid out of pocket. I immediately called to find out if this was their standard practice and was amazed to know that this was in fact the way they do business. I immediately canceled my policy. I was told that it wouldn't take long to issue a refund but in fact it took over 30 days and when I called and finally got someone, they would tell me the refund amount to expect, but said that I would receive a letter (email) within the hour explaining the amount.
