Placing a claim with select home warranty online was simple enough. The coverage I received was comprehensive but would not cover a stand alone icemaker that I had a problem with in the past. I did place 1 claim and it was covered by them pretty quickly.

I believe that SELECT HOME WARRANTY founded on dishonesty, deliberate negligence towards cheating the customers, and scam. Your company charged me for a month worth of service knowing that I isn't an Active Customer, also the lack of professionalism and knowledge of the people answering phone calls including the Supervisors. I will never encourage anyone to deal with SELECT HOME WARRANTY in all levels. Terrible, "one-page warranty" is nothing but a one-page scam and a way to keep it vague and deny claims. I am in the process of filing a complaint to "BBB", Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission Residential Service Program and with the Pennsylvania Deceptive Trade Practices - Consumer Protection Act. I am also speaking to an attorney because of SELECT HOME WARRANTY's negligence and deceptive practices. I would not recommend the SELECT HOME WARRANTY service to anybody.

Beware of select home warranty. They are a big scam. They have the worse customer service. My hot water heater went and after they sent a guy to my house 2 times he flooded my house. It cost me over 500.00 to repair my house and another 500.00 for a new hot water heater. And my refund was 25.00 from them. What a scam. It took 4 months for them to send me 25.00 so it cost me over 1,000.00 dollars and they only gave me 25.00.

I had a overflow tank burst and submitted a claim. Select Home Warranty told me that my claim didn't cover leaking hot water heaters. I let them know that it wasn't my hot water leaking it was the overflow tank. They request pictures and I sent them. They told me that I would need to pay for the repairs and then they would submit it to the review board and more than likely would be able to refund a portion of my money. We ended up having to replace the entire hot water heater as it was 17 yrs old and out of code to the tune of 1695.00. When the job was complete I submitted all of my payment and invoice information.
So a month later I hadn't heard anything called SHW only to be told my claim was denied because of the leaky hot water heater not being covered except it wasn't a leaky hot water heater and the invoice suggested that. I cancelled my policy. I will be super careful before I ever pay into another home warranty business... Just beware I selected SHW because it had good reviews - #3 out of the top 10. So now going back reading a lot of the claims are small nothing big like mine... So disappointed.

My A/C broke down and after a month a board is still reviewing whether they'll supply me with a part I need. I have paid the warranty for 3 years and yes I got a discount for paying up front and doing multiple year plans, but it takes SO LONG to get a claim from them with no guarantees! Also, I spoke to an actual supervisor and told him how much inconvenience this has been for me but he seem to just can't wait to get rid of me on the phone! I will definitely cancel my service and switch to a different company soon as I hear their decision on my A/C unit. Definitely a waste of money!

Select home warranty called me and was having special sale for 400 a year with 2 months free so I joined and paid in full. My water heat wasn't working so I called Select after thirty five days they gave me running around and finally send a contractor to check it. When the contractor came and gave Select the estimate, Select told me some b.s. story and wouldn't fix my water heater so I asked for refund and they told me I had to wait for another thirty days. Select home warranty was very quick to take my money but won't credit my account for thirty. They were very unprofessional and not been truthful.

First my GE 220V Microwave Oven stopped working. Within a day they said when I purchased another Microwave submit the invoice and they would pay $95.00 towards a $1200 microwave. The Microwave was 8 years old and they said they depreciated it to $95. I had to purchase a oven for $170 to make do until I had the funds to replace my Microwave. Second, my in home central A/C unit developed a problem with the coil being defective. Rheem would only cover the part and Select Home Warranty will not cover the labor to repair it as they say the A/C unit is under Warranty with Rheem. Thus, this A/C unit is covered for 10 years for parts and now Select will never cover anything unless the unit is out of warranty for the parts, paying 10 years for nothing.
These companies are rated 5 stars, but guess I have missed on some issue. The reimbursement offered is not in keeping with the cost to repair or replace any items. They claim microwaves cannot be repaired. A GE product that can't be repaired is a stretch for me to believe.

They'll never pay in any claim. They're more interested in declining or denying your claim by showing rules and sections of that confusing contract that you innocently signed for.

Our townhouse was covered by AHS but we decided to switch looking for better options. My research lead me to Home Select Warranty which showed high ratings! I signed up for a year. Once you sign up, that is it as far as nice customer service. All you get are excuses. The A/C broke down and I realized at that time that only cover one A/C unit out of the two unless I add the second one from day one (AHS covered both without a say). I had to pay out of pocket $2000 to replace the unit and when I asked for relief from HSW, they offered $50 if I fill a form that they will email me. The email sent included an empty attachment. When I emailed them back, no response!
Then the garage door opener broke down. They sent an unregistered, unqualified, uninsured one man company. It took forever for him to do the repair correctly. He had to come back several times. He had to call the manufacturers to get instructions!!! This company is terrible. All records are available for accuracy of what has been stated.

My air conditioner went out on a Sunday night. It took several calls between myself and the company they selected to come look at it and many emails from me to get an answer 3 days later. The unit is 17 years old. People like myself buy these contracts so we don't have to worry about huge expenses if something breaks down. Sure enough they turned down my request - some by-law or something, something to do with having repairs done in the past. Also if the repairs weren't done correctly then they won't fix it. It has run really well for the past 4 years and the motor has now gone out also a short. Select Home Warranty won't fix it.

Purchased this home warranty in January, never used it. Was told it was one of the best. Well, not so much!! Called Sunday to try to get a plumber for hot water heater, was told they would have someone out on Monday. On Monday got an email stating leaks were not covered under the contract, problem is that it is not leaking. Called and they stated rep noted we said it was leaking all over the place! Once again they said they would sent a plumber out in 24 hrs, then told Tuesday by email per contract, we locate a plumber, pays all expenses and they will reimburse us.
Well contract states we pay only 45.00 deductible and they pay remaining. Emailed them all info, got a call they would send a plumber in 24 hrs. Today, which is Wednesday I get an email stating they don't have any available plumbers in the area and indeed to locate my own. So here we are on day 4 with no plumber and have to pay full amount out of pocket!! Do not waste your time on purchasing this home warranty!!

First call put on hold, and hung up on after 10 minutes. Second call no answer. Call the next day, response, but no follow-up with service. Call 2 days later (water still running). They gave me a plumber for the next day. Plumber says he will charge more than the contractual rate. Called for another plumber the next day. One comes another day later and said they'd not do any work because repair was over $150 (the $150 is not a contract condition). Today I called my own plumber.
Meanwhile, 500 miles away in Myrtle Beach, my young daughter is using them for an air conditioning repair. After a week and 4 promises, over nearly 2 weeks to get her someone the next day they decided they would refuse service. They sent her a note saying “it’s in the contract,” saying that they really exclude all repairs on this covered service! Her refrigerator also went down the same week. She called that in and they sent her a plumber who called her and said he refuses to work with Select Home Warranty because they are such a shoddy company!
A fourth call for service - this time by me again when my garage door failed - got me service in 48 hours, but from multiple companies who got me in the middle of their dispute with the company. The work got done on the 5th day but it cost me almost 3 times the guaranteed price because they decided pieces of the work was not covered. Surprise. This is just a racket. I doubt they ever provide a service. I have never worked with a worse company in my 67 years!

Apparently these folks creating a new MATH for the victims. They cannot even spell cancellation, what math can they really do? It took them really one month to invent a method to screw customers.

I have been a customer of Select Home Warranty for about a year now. My first experience with them was on a washing machine. I would get an error code so they sent out a repair guy who could not figure out the issue, but took it apart and checked the pump and electrical connection. He left; the washer kept giving me the same code; the same guy came back two more time and still could not fix it. He said it must be the control panel. SHW sent me a letter saying that they chose to pay me fair market value instead of replacing the panel. The value they would give me was around $115. Where I would find a replacement of a Kenmore Elite front loader for $115 I have no idea, but they chose that option even though I argued. I ended up fixing it myself after looking at youtube. Their service guy did not know what he was doing.
Then I had a ceiling fan that stopped working. It was well over $300 new and was only about 2 years old. I filed the claim and without ever sending someone out to look to see if maybe it was a loose wire, they chose their payout option again: $45. How can I replace an expensive fan with $45?

We were given a home warranty as part of a closing deal on our home. 6 weeks ago, our refrigerator stopped working. It took a week of calling and emailing every day to finally get a contractor assigned to us. Then they told us the contractor had up to 48 hours to contact us. Now 6 weeks later we have no resolution. SHW keeps re-assigning new contractors to us then telling us they have 48 hours to set up appointments. So far, only one contractor made a real appointment and came out to see our issue. He told us the parts that needed ordering.

The worst home warranty out there. Don't be fool. Put in A/C claim and was denied right away without professional inspection due to the way I describe the problem. I told them that I am not a mechanic and I need an AC guy to inspect. They refuse so I have to hire my own. Put in a reimbursement request; They said they need to review with 7-20 days. Take 2 months; no communication or call. Oh, they don't do business over the phone, only online. That tell you that this company is a scam.
Put in a request for $189. After two months without any communication back, I emailed them and they send me a form to sign off for $45 to release them of all liability on this. I replied why $45 of the $189 and they could not tell me. I called customer service and they cannot tell me either. The CS said to put in another review for answer. I have another $250 worth of damage of water damage from the AC and might never get it back. Just want to let everyone out there. Don't do business with this company and don't fall for any other rating out there. BEWARE, because it might be their own people putting this in.

I signed up for service from Select Home Warranty back in January of 2014. As a U.S. Marine with over 26 years of service I have owned several homes and have used several different Home Warranty organizations, but Select Home Warranty has been by far the worst organization in any category I have dealt with. After spending $1300 dollars for three years of coverage, when I attempted to place a claim after one year, I got nothing but a runaround. These included statements of "We don't have a signed copy of your warranty." Then when I faxed a copy of a signed copy, I was told the item was not covered. Then two weeks later I received a check in the mail for $200 dollars stating the service was cancelled. When I phoned to speak to someone as to what happened, the members were rude, unprofessional and stated "Oh well you are cancelled." This organization is very unprofessional and in my opinion a rip-off organization.

My dryer would not dry the clothes, so I called Select Home Warranty for service. Within 3 days a service tech came out and inspected dryer. It needed a new heater/thermostat. Total cost of parts and labor was 298.25. Select told service company that they would only pay for the part which was $125. They said my contract did not pay for installation of part. When they quoted this to me, the contract they were reading from was different from mine. They claimed I had signed the one they were reading from. Not true, as the one on my phone that I sent back with my pictures of my contract with my initials said no such thing. In another paragraph the contract said if a appliance was replaced the cost of that appliance was covered not the installation. They did not replace my appliance, they repair a part.
They took a part of one paragraph and used it in a entirely different context so they wouldn't pay. Why would someone sign up for a home warranty so that it would only pay for a part, when the labor is always a larger expense. Nowhere in any of their advertising do they state only a partial payment is made on the customer's behalf. They will do anything to get out of paying a claim. Can you imagine why anyone would want this warranty?

Days later my AC went out and I needed service and Select Home Warranty claims department manager agreed to process the claim even though they had not received the check from the title company. They agreed that they had all needed information, such as check # and details of check to put on file and process a claim to get my ac serviced.
Day later, they still had not sent anyone out to fix my AC. I called to speak to the claims department and they then told me that I hadn't paid my bill and they wouldn't be sending anyone out to fix my AC. I told the claims department that the previous day I had been told they would help. Then I asked to speak to anyone or try to find a solution to fix the whole mistake by the seller's title company. The claims rep then told me that I just needed to pay my bills and transferred me to accounting department. Then the accounting department (Adam) said the same, that I needed to pay and that this was all my fault. He then said "You don't call American Express when your bill is due and expect them to do anything, do you?"
Then I asked if there was anything I could do, or give him a credit card and he said "Yes" but they weren't going to do anything for 30 days plus the time it would take to process a check.. I asked why I was being punished for the mistake by the title company and he said "I don't care. Call the place that your title company sent the wrong check and maybe they'll care." He then told me if I was going to get mad and have an attitude he'd just cancel my policy and not accept any payment. Then I asked him to go ahead and cancel and he said "done" then hung up.

I purchased my Select Home Warranty in September of 2014. Upon negotiating this contract, I made sure to mention to the sales rep several times that I live in a 2-story house and I have 2 separate AC units. I specifically stated in my conversation that I would like both units to be covered under this new warranty. He assured me that it would and that all was well. When I made my first claim (my fridge was leaking) this claim was denied stating that the ice maker or water dispenser was not covered under my policy. Ok, it was a part of the fridge though, but not covered. So I moved on and kept the policy anyways thinking maybe it was worth it. This summer (approx. June 2015) my upstairs air conditioner went out. I called Select and they denied it over the phone stating that I had only 1 ac covered under my policy, and it was the downstairs unit only!?
For more money I could add the 2nd unit, but I could not make a claim for 30 days. This was absurd! The only way I would of ever bought into a home warranty was if covered the entire home HVAC system! The salesman told me this would be covered, but Select Home Warranty decided not to include it in my very fine printed contract. The people I spoke to on the phone every time were rude, and basically they did not stand by what they told me when I bought the policy. I canceled the policy, and am still waiting on my refund. I called the accounting department and they could not give me a straight answer on when my refund would be coming and conveniently the billing supervisor was out, but I could call back. Basically this company is based on denying people's claims and stiffing them on their refunds when they cancel the policy.

The people they sent out had no idea what was going on and stated that they did not have the equipment to help us. We were fed up by then and told them to just cancel our policy. Then they told us that we had to pay a $75 cancellation fee! Are you kidding me! DO NOT get this policy unless you like throwing money away. They do NOT cover anything and the companies they work with are not reliable. If they answer their phones, then they come when they please.

Shortly after placing an online claim with Select Home Warranty I got an email from them confirming a full replacement had already been approved for my appliance. This was the fastest turnaround of any company I have dealt with. I have 3 policies with them in 2 states and they have not disappointed.

My washer broke down on July 16th. The first vendor assigned to fix the issue informed me that Select would not pay more than $100 to them to repair the issue. Their minimum is $250 for the trip charge. The second vendor assigned told me that they don't do business with Select anymore. MANY reviews online state that Select will not pay their vendors' invoices for at least a year, if at all. It's been 3 weeks and I still have a broken "covered" appliance. They now want me to find my own repair service and pay out of pocket.
I want a refund of my 10 months of premiums but they will not do that, nor will they commit to anything in writing. No e-mails have a signed name and they claim to be calling and calling me, but no messages or missed calls. This company is the ultimate run-around and I'm sorry if you have been paying them for 'coverage' like I have. I spoke just now to their after hours service (Michelle) who said that she hears this story a lot. Even their own reps hate the company. Don't pay for this service as it will get you nothing in return but headaches and frustration. They try so hard to get you off the phone...

We are very happy with the outcome of our claim. We had a very old stove and it just stopped working. We did not want to fix it because of the age. We worked with Select on a reimbursement amount for a new one.

Luckily for me that my realtor purchased a home warranty from Select Home Warranty for the new home I was purchasing. As a first time home buyer I was terribly unaware of how to repair any problems, and to cover the costs of those repairs would have been difficult. Select Home Warranty came to my house to repair a plumbing leak and replaced a ceiling fan for me weeks onto moving into my new home.

I could not be happier with select. MY situation with them went great. My well pump stopped working. Select got me a plumber in my area. He was in my house in 2 hrs from placing the claim. Select fixed my pump.

My washer broke down on me right before a weekend when I use it most. The process was very simple. I called Select to report the breakdown. Select dispatched a guy in my area to look at what was wrong. Select approved repairs. Great work.

I purchased a new home in May of this year. In July I noticed a small leak behind the toilet in our bedroom. I placed a claim online through selecthomewarranty.com and within a few minutes got an email with a plumber's information, and the plumber did come out later that evening to fix the problem. I only had to pay the $45 service call out fee and he fixed the toilet and a little leak under the kitchen sink. Overall I am happy with this contract.
