A complete disaster! When you sign up, you get to talk to an agent who speaks perfect English and promises you the best service, but as soon as you have an issue, you get representatives with heavy accents, reading ("singing") from scripted texts at breathtaking speed. They offered us $150 for a not even 2-year old $900 dryer, claiming it was 8 years old. They are not capable of opening email attachments proving the age of the appliance; we had to send emails up to three times for them to finally figure it out. Still only offering $150, because supposedly they do not even cover broken dryer drums. A terrible experience all around. By the way, our contract has now ended, and all of a sudden we are getting calls from their English-speaking agents asking us to renew. Never!

I spoke with Mike ** regarding purchasing a home warranty policy. He was very knowledgeable and polite. Gave me many options to choice from. It was an absolute pleasure working with him!

Both my wife and I dealt with Mike in looking for a Home Warranty policy. Mike was able to answer all our questions and addressed all our concerns. He did this without any “high pressure” tactics that so many use. After our interactions with Mike, we look forward to a lengthy relationship with Select.

I contacted Select Home Warranty to get a quote for coverage on my house. Mike, my representative, was very knowledgeable and helped me decide what plan would be best for me. I chose a three year plan with a fixed rate and lower service fees. This plan also includes coverage for my well pump. SHW rates are very competitive and the customer service team is located in the US.

I requested a copy of my contract and was mailed immediately upon request. I called, my call was answered quickly and my contract was e-mailed. The man who answered was very kind and I could understand what he was saying, very kind and handled the problem. I have never had to have anything filed or repaired but expect it would go well.

Save yourself the headache and DO NOT PURCHASE A SELECT HOME WARRANTY POLICY!!! We had a policy with them for 5 years and were consistently frustrated with how little they would cover and reimburse for repairs. We ended up renewing a 3 year contract 2 months ago and will be canceling this policy and requesting a full refund. SHW has designed the policy in such a way that you will only get a maximum of $400-$500 (depending on the item) of coverage for a covered item per calendar year.
HOWEVER, they do not cover the cost of labor, the cost to remove an item (a water heater for example) AND if they deem the cost to repair is too much, they will depreciated the value of the original item to next to nothing and offer you that to "replace" the appliance. That means something that will cost you $500-$1000 or more to fix/replace, SHW will likely offer $175 or $250. They only paid $75 when our microwave went out and $60 of that we paid for the service call. It cost us $500 to replace and install the new microwave! Select Home Warranty takes every opportunity they can to pay as little as possible and deny claims for covered items. Save yourself the frustration and stay far, far away from Select Home Warranty.

I signed up for Select Home Warranty last month, enticed by the benefits advertised. However, after making my first claim, I quickly realized that their customer service is **the worst I’ve ever encountered**. Firstly, you must pay a $75 service fee just for someone to come and take pictures of the issue. After that, there is **zero communication**—no updates unless you actively reach out. I had to escalate to a supervisor just to get the assigned company to contact me. Select Home Warranty also **does everything possible to minimize their payout**. For example, in one claim, they charged $189 for labor while only covering $36 for the actual part needed. We opened another claim and experienced the exact same frustrating process but this time they said they don’t cover our particular issue even though in the policy it says they do.
After these repeated issues, we decided to cancel our plan. This turned into another nightmare, requiring conversations with **multiple** representatives who were incredibly **rude and unsympathetic**. During cancellation, they charged **$75 as a cancellation fee** plus **$40 for a service call**—Which they originally stated would be covered. On top of that, because the technician charged $100 to take pictures, Select Home Warranty made us pay **the difference on what they covered for all claims**. And, if that wasn’t bad enough, they also charged for the number of days we had the plan.
This company makes sure to cover the bare minimum, leaving customers stuck with unnecessary expenses. I wouldn’t recommend Select Home Warranty to my worst enemy. If you're considering this service, do yourself a favor and avoid them entirely—You’re better off without a warranty at all. I am truly surprised they are not being investigated for being a SCAM.

Do not get a warranty with this company. They take 1-2 business days before they even assign your claim to a contractor regardless of reason. If they don’t have a contractor in your area they want you to pay for repairs then they reimburse based on their limitations. Their monthly rate might be lower than other home warranty companies but you get what you pay for. BEWARE.

This is the first time I've filed a warranty claim regarding an issue with my HVAC System. After paying the required service fee. Technician troubleshooted the problem and had to make two trips to finally determine what was wrong with my systems. Replacement parts were required to fix the problem and a request for authorization for approval to purchase the parts and labor cost was submitted to the company. The labor cost was not approved. This is a rip off. I have paid for coverage for over 3 years without filing a claim and have never heard of a home appliance warranty policy that does not cover both parts and labor.

Do not waste your money, Select Home Warranty is only interested in collecting a monthly fee from customers, they denied my first claim and when you cancel they tell you that it is a $50 cancellation fee, something that do not tell you when you buy the the policy. They sent me my policy 3days after I paid and it was completely different from what we discussed over the phone.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not a Select Home Warranty customer. I was researching plans and we decided to go with a competitor due to the price and value of what they offered. I received a call from Lucas from Select Home Warranty trying to sell my husband and I on their plans. They did offer the same things at a cheaper rate, however an additional that add on that we selected with our current company isn't offered by Select.
My husband told Lucas that we didn't want to change over, that we were sticking with who we selected. Lucas didn't take that news well, in so many words he basically told us that we made the wrong decision and that we were going to regret it. To the powers that be at Select Home Warranty, if talking down on customers and basically telling them that they've made the wrong decision on what works best for them is how you all do business, please do better. Just because of that call with Lucas from Birmingham, AL I will never consider your company if we ever decide to switch in the future.

I am having plumbing problems and it flooded my garage from the upstairs bathroom, shower, sinks, etc. It’s been almost 2 weeks and it still has not been fixed even though a company has come out now twice but have not done anything to fix it! I bought this for a peace of mind, not to have more headaches. I was also told that labor is not even included, which is ridiculous! That’s the most expensive part of any thing that you do, so why would you ever have a policy that you have to pay money and also pay labor! I would never ever pay for a home warranty with this company ever again.

I have held this policy since October 2023. I have only had to file two claims. My second claim involves a plumbing problem. There is some type of stoppage in my main line. The plumber came out, snaked the line and cleared the problem. He did state if it happened again, he would need to scope the line. It happened again. I reported the problem to Select Home Warranty. Plumbing stoppage is covered and it was within three weeks of the original call, so there would not be an additional charge. The plumber called back to let me know Select Home Warranty will not cover the cost of scoping the line. The policy does not state that scoping is not included. The person I spoke with was just reading from his script and stated it's not covered. How else can a plumber diagnose a problem?? I am so disappointed in Select Home Warranty.

I had trouble with SELECT on my first claim, AC unit. They were asking for maintenance paperwork. When the repair guy came he said it was the compressor, collected his money and never heard from select again. When I called them back they said they can't cover anything. When my downstairs unit stop working last month the same exact thing happened. They have low monthly rates so they can lock you in for a year without covering anything. I paid them a couple more months until my year was up and cancelled my policy. If you have a new house, their monthly rates may help, they will cover most of new stuff, if your house is older don't bother, they won't cover it. Not to mention, customer service is hard to understand if you happen to get a hold of someone. With the present and future economy in question, I would not hire this company.

All they would offer up was their canned responses and repeat themselves about how they have escalated the issue to their dispatch dept. Nobody ever showed up to service my machine. They stole $600 in premiums from me and then the first and only claim I made was a nightmare. I ended up canceling my policy. They never fixed nor replaced my washing machine.

My experience with Select Home Warranty’s phone sales team was professional, informative, and pressure-free. The representative was courteous, clear on the coverage details, and walked me through the process efficiently. Everything was explained up front with no high-pressure tactics or vague language, which I appreciated. The only thing that caught me off guard was the $85 service call fee. That detail made me wonder if I should have handled the sign-up online to better compare options and see full pricing breakdowns. Transparency on that point would have helped. That said, the customer service made a strong impression, and while we haven’t filed a claim yet, the initial onboarding gives me confidence in their support moving forward.

I had them last year and renewed because they covered a 41 year old washer. Something else too. Service was pretty good. However, this year, they changed the rules and you have to have verification of the prior work done to keep things in working order. Even though part of my work done was part of one of their visits, they said they didn't have the records, so it didn't count as 3 years of continuous service. Then, my dryer was making odd sounds. It is 8 years old and I bought it used. They said they weren't covering it because the technician didn't call in. I heard him call. I am not responsible for the bill, but I feel bad for the company. That isn't fair. I called to try and find out why, but the guy was very hard to understand. Typical outsourced call center in Thailand. Couldn't get an American to help either. So frustrating.
I will not be renewing with them. Not sure who else I can use, but I will never use them again. They don't pay their subcontractors well.

If you’re unit dies and they don’t make it anymore how do you get a new unit without it being an upgrade.? I feel we were mislead by this company. Now we as faithful clients of them are stuck without heat or ac and we are not young people. This company is not completely honest and I will never recommend them to anyone.

I had a positive experience with this home warranty company. The customer service was excellent—they were polite, responsive, and helpful every time I called with a question or concern. The claims process was smooth, and they kept me updated along the way, which I really appreciated. When I needed service for a broken dishwasher, they connected me with a technician quickly, and the repair was handled without much hassle. It gave me peace of mind knowing I didn’t have to pay out of pocket for a big repair. Overall, I feel like the coverage was worth the cost, and I’d definitely recommend this service to other homeowners looking for protection and support when things go wrong around the house.

I have used American Home Shield for years and customer service has really gone down the drain. All service representatives are outsourced out of a foreign country. I feel like no one is vested in providing good service there. Converting over to Select Home Warranty was personalized and the unique approach to annual coverage credit sounds terrific.

Warning Regarding Select Home Warranty. I advise caution when considering Select Home Warranty based on my personal experience with the company. I encountered significant difficulties when I filed a claim for my HVAC unit. The technician sent by the company suggested that a major component needed to be replaced at a cost exceeding $3,000. Unfortunately, Select Home Warranty refused to cover this expense or provide any assistance.
After escalating my concerns to a supervisor, I was told to pay for the part and labor upfront, with the assurance that I would be reimbursed. Despite providing proof of payment and a letter detailing the necessary repairs, my reimbursement request was denied. The supervisor later claimed he did not guarantee payment and offered only a nominal sum of $150, which I declined.
As a result of this experience, I decided to cancel my policies with Select Home Warranty. My interactions with the company revealed a lack of professionalism, respect, and commitment to customer service. It appears that their focus is more on profit than on supporting their clients. I recommend considering an alternative approach: setting aside approximately $50 a month into a savings account to create your own home warranty fund. In conclusion, I do not recommend using Select Home Warranty or similar companies. It is crucial for businesses in this sector to prioritize client respect and accountability to build trust and credibility.

I paid my subscription fee on time every month for 2 years and yet when I needed repairs they always found a loophole to avoid coverage. One claim I entered in December, the company kept saying they would send someone out but never did. I refiled the same claim in May to be told they don't have technician available and to find my own and submit the diagnosis to them.
I called a tech and paid $139 to get the diagnostic. Then I filed my claim saying the problem is not covered. Frustrated that I am paying them monthly for them to deny most things. Called to cancel and for nearly 20 minutes the rep tried to tell me they will give me $5 off the next service call and I have a direct line to a personal representative. I explained to her that none of that matters when they deny the claim anyway. Repeated requests to cancel the policy the representative finally agreed and informed it would be a $75 cancellation fee. I paid $139 to have a technician come out to diagnose because they advised me to and then deny my claim and charge me $75 to cancel. Horrible! I would definitely look elsewhere for coverage.

My Dismal Experience with Select Home Warranty. A Cautionary Tale of Broken Promises and Frustration. Select Home Warranty, a name that promises peace of mind and security, has been the source of nothing but anger and frustration for me. The irony of their name is not lost on anyone who has dealt with them—they select which claims they will cover, often neglecting those that require substantial financial investment. The process begins deceptively smoothly. You pay your deductible upfront to the service provider, expecting a swift resolution to your problems. However, what follows is a disheartening pattern of claim denials and insufficient replacement credits. Allow me to share a few of my personal experiences:
Whirlpool Gold Refrigerator/Freezer. A mere nine years old, my Whirlpool Gold refrigerator/freezer began icing up. I paid the service deductible of $75. The service agent identified a replacement switch that could rectify the issue, pending approval from Select Home Warranty. However, Select denied the claim, offering a paltry $200 replacement credit. Upon further inquiry, the service technician revealed that Select was unwilling to pay their fee, leaving me with an unresolved problem and a sense of betrayal.
Hunter Ceiling Fan Light Fixture Combo. Next was my ten-year-old Hunter ceiling fan light fixture combo. Select dismissed the unit as too old, offering a meager $30 replacement credit. The notion that age alone disqualified my claim was infuriating, plus the cost to buy and hang a new one with the insufficient credit added insult to injury.
Plumbing Angle Stop. Replacing a plumbing angle stop seemed straightforward enough. Yet, Select deemed it outside the scope of general warranty coverage. Their solution? A recommendation to purchase a $250 plumbing fixture warranty, a costly addition that felt more like extortion than a genuine offer of assistance.
LG Microwave Oven. The final straw was my LG microwave oven, less than a year old. After paying my deductible, I received another denial from Select, along with a $90 replacement credit. The repeated pattern was clear: Select Home Warranty consistently avoided addressing genuine claims, offering insufficient compensation instead.
These experiences reveal a troubling trend in Select Home Warranty's operations. They promise coverage and protection but fail to deliver when it matters most. Their strategy seems focused on minimizing expenses rather than honoring their commitments to customers. In conclusion, Select Home Warranty has proven to be unreliable and frustrating, choosing to avoid costly repairs and leaving customers with inadequate solutions. My encounters with them have been a cautionary tale, highlighting the importance of thorough research and consideration before choosing a home warranty provider. To anyone considering Select Home Warranty, I urge you to heed my experience and seek out alternatives that genuinely prioritize customer satisfaction and support.

I have been a customer of Select Home Warranty for the past three years, primarily because I was unable to exit the agreement once enrolled. Over this time, I’ve encountered repeated issues that have left me highly dissatisfied with the service. Despite the promises made at the time of sale—that a technician would be sent to repair or replace covered items as needed, and that I would only be responsible for the deductible—the reality has been quite different. Each time I’ve submitted a claim, the company has instead cited policy terms to limit payouts and avoid full coverage. This includes offering a negotiated cash settlement instead of the promised repair or replacement, and in nearly every case, labor costs were not covered, contrary to what was verbally communicated during enrollment.
The process of getting even partial resolution requires extensive time and follow-up. I’ve had to spend nearly 10 hours per claim on phone calls, follow-ups, and escalations—time that most customers simply do not have. While the policy is marketed as offering significant coverage—up to thousands of dollars per year—the actual reimbursement per claim is minimal and inconsistent. These practices are misleading at best and exploitative at worst. I strongly urge others to consider avoiding companies like this—not only to save money, but also to avoid the substantial time, stress, and frustration involved in pursuing each claim.

After making the decision to move my business from American Home Shield to Select Home Warranty, I’ve been extremely satisfied with the change. Here are the key reasons: Better Coverage Options. Select Home Warranty offers a more comprehensive range of coverage at a competitive price. I was able to customize my plan to suit my needs, ensuring that all critical systems in my home are covered without paying for unnecessary add-ons.
Faster Service Response Times. One of my biggest frustrations with American Home Shield was the slow response times. Since switching, Select Home Warranty has been much quicker in dispatching technicians and handling claims. This efficiency is incredibly important to me. Affordable Pricing. The cost of coverage with Select Home Warranty is significantly more affordable, especially considering the quality of service. The price is more in line with the level of protection and convenience I expect. Easier Claims Process. The claims process with Select Home Warranty is straightforward and hassle-free. The online portal is user-friendly, and I've had a much smoother experience filing claims compared to the cumbersome procedures I encountered with American Home Shield.

We purchased a platinum home warranty from Select Home Warranty in August of 2024. One of our heaters stopped working. We contacted Select Home Warranty and they assigned L and L HVAC to come out on 11/4/2024. L & L HVAC told us that the unit could not be repaired due to the age of the unit. It needed to be replaced. L & L HVAC, the contractor Select Home Warranty sent out gave us a price of over $8,000 to replace it. L &L HVAC indicated they would let Select Home Warranty know, the claim would be updated, and that Select Home Warranty would be reaching out.
On ll/14/2024 we reached out to Select Home Warranty because we hadn’t heard anything from Select Home Warranty or from L&L HVAC and were told they had no record of L & L HVAC updating the claim with them or that L & L HVAC even came out. We could not go without heat and the price L & L HVAC gave seemed high. We shopped for a new unit and installer ourselves and found a contractor who came out and confirmed it was too old to repair (we did not tell this contractor that we already had someone out, we wanted him to do his own due diligence). Our contractor gave us a price of $6500.00.
I called Select Home Warranty to let them know we got a better price from a local HVAC company and I was told to submit a NEW claim through the portal. We did. In the meantime, we had it installed as we need to protect our pipes, new floors, and maintain our home from any damage from going without heat. We paid the $6800 out of pocket. We tried on several occassions to have this claim finalized with Select Home Warranty and were told they had no information, even though I sent in the documents with a claim number, our policy number written on each page of every document I sent along with all our our contact information, the paid in full receipt from our contractor indicating the unit was replaced. Each time I called to follow-up, I was told they would have to assign a new claim number and to refer to the portal for information on the claim.
Now it is April of 2025 and still no answer from them after numerous attempts, so I called again on April 30, 2025 to follow up. Again, I am referred to the portal which has absolutely no information on the status of claims. I am informed that they are declining coverage since L & L, the HVAC company that Select Home Warranty assigned did not do their job and confirm that the unit needed to be replaced, even though the contractor we paid out of pocket for did confirm that it did need to be replaced. When was Select Home Warranty going to let me know this? No paper documents to that effect, no phone calls, no emails, nothing. Just no response. Why? That is not customer service, certainly not "platinum-level" customer service.
Every time I call Select Home Warranty I am told to go to the portal, the portal does not have any information on the status of claims, documents relative to claims, or information on who to contact regarding claims. It is useless. Just a claim number and the date. So we are out of pocket for the heater, a heater that had L & L HVAC that Select Home Warranty sent out actually done their job and installed it would have cost Select Home Warranty more to pay the claim because L & L HVAC, gave a price that was significantly higher.
I guess we were just supposed to sit around and watch our pipes freeze until Select Home Warranty got their act together. I believe Select Home Warranty just plays the waiting game in hopes that customers do exactly what we did and just take care of it ourselves because we had to so Select Home Warranty can deny claims. I am a Realtor and I would not recommend this company to anyone let alone a client. Needless to say, I will not be renewing my plan in November of 2025. If I could give them negative stars I would.

Even though my compressor was covered under my policy they refused to repair or replace my refrigerator according to my policy. This is how they take advantage of customers. There is an exclusion clause. If it's a sealed unit they don't have to honor the terms of the contract. Fyi, I've never seen a refrigerator that isn't a sealed unit. That's why you don't have to charge the refrigerant on it unless it develops a leak. Several years after I canceled my policy I received a call from them wanting me to restart my policy. Keep in mind I told them when I canceled the policy to never contact me again.
Couple of weeks ago I got a phone call from them and again I told them to never contact me again. Today I received one of their flyers in my mailbox. These crooks won't stop. Just be warned, if you get a policy from them read all the sections for exclusion clauses and just know if you cancel they won't leave you alone even though by law they have to but they won't.

I had a very good experience with Connor. He was able to give me a good deal on two of my properties, saving me a ton of money. It was greatly appreciated. Connor went the extra mile to get me a better deal on my second property, which made it much easier for me to go ahead and purchase the six year bundle for both homes. I will most definitely recommend this company to my friends and family along with Connor as the sales person. With the six year bundle, I was able to save over $1000 per year on both homes which is a phenomenal savings.

There should be a spot for Zero stars. This is my 2nd home warranty company that I was going to give a try. If you moved into an older home, don't even bother wasting your money. They find ways to not pay for anything in their small section within the agreement. You're better off I think purchasing a home warranty for a newer home. They advertise that it doesn't matter how old an appliance or how old the home systems are - that they will cover. It is just not the case.

Do not waste your money with this company. Select Home Warranty will do everything they can to avoid paying a claim. They are a scam and use loopholes to avoid payouts. I was a customer for 42 months, and I filed only one claim which they did everything possible to avoid paying. I sent this company nearly $2000, and they wanted to only pay $150 in a $700 claim. Then they wanted to charge me $75 to cancel my account early. They continually apologized and then gave excuses as to why they where doing what they were. They then would attempt to justify the importance of their insurance. I wish I had just put the premiums I sent to Select Home Warrant into a specific account rather than sending them the premiums. I lost $2000 by sending them the premiums and ended up having to pay for my AC to be repaired, so I'm out nearly $3000. They are just crooks!!!

If I could give Select Home Warranty ZERO stars, I would. When I first bought the policy, I didn’t make any claims during the initial year, so I had no idea how truly terrible this company was. That changed in January 2025 when I filed my first claim for a broken dryer. What a nightmare. They assigned Titus Appliance as the technician — but nobody ever came, nobody answered calls, nothing! I called Select Home Warranty literally thousands of times, only to be told the same thing over and over: "You have to keep calling the technician yourself."
Excuse me? Isn’t that YOUR job as the warranty company? After weeks of being strung along and completely exhausted from chasing after a ghost technician, I finally gave up. Select Home Warranty did absolutely nothing. No repair, no service, no help. Fast forward to April 15, 2025 — I made another claim. Foolishly thinking it might go better this time, but guess what? Same nightmare, different month. They again assigned a technician and again dumped all the responsibility on me to hunt them down. After two weeks of endless calls, I was lucky enough to get the parts shipped — but now Select Home Warranty refuses to let the technician install them because they won’t agree to pay the labor cost.
Every time I call Select Home Warranty, the representatives give me false promises like, "We will call you back," but no one ever calls back. I managed to talk to the technician myself, and they told me point-blank: Select Home Warranty refuses to pay the proper labor fees, so the techs don’t even want to deal with them. In short: Select Home Warranty is a SCAM. They happily take your money but disappear when you actually need them. They don't care about customer service, they don't process claims properly, and they dump all the work back onto the customer. You’ll end up spending hours and days on the phone getting nowhere. Save yourself the stress and frustration — stay FAR AWAY from Select Home Warranty. I regret ever signing up with them and cannot wait to cancel this useless, deceptive policy.

They sent me a service repairman who they claimed never contacted them with the results of his diagnosis. I already paid him the mandatory $125. Then I was told to find my own technician. I did and paid another $150.11. He told them the repair would be more than a new washer and submitted his invoice. They said they would reimburse me $125 ONLY AFTER I could prove I bought a new machine or had it repaired! Now I'm out $275.11 and still have nothing to show for it.

They would not cover the valve in the dishwasher. So at that point, I tried to cancel in disgust. They promised all of the repair would be covered. 3 more weeks went by. Nothing.
I contacted the service company and always waiting on part. So again I had to contact Select and explained how ridiculous this was getting. While I was on hold Select called the service company. Of course they had gotten all parts and would schedule the repair the next week. No one ever called. Called servicer and he said yes part are in but he had not scheduled my area yet.

Salespeople are very strong armed in their approach. Come on extremely aggressive to sell you the higher tier coverage plans and especially the longer length ones that "save you money" over time as they so strongly point out. Lots of promises in the event of a failure to one of your appliances it will be covered. First you pay, then they send all of the literature and especially all of the contract information with all of the multitude of exclusions for reasons they won't cover something. I fell into that trap. Paid the money upfront, then a few months later my heating/cooling system started to have problems. They sent out four different companies to fix it. None of them could do the work. It was winter so even though the system was limping along (two zone system, one zone was still working) I had to continue to use it. Lost track of all of the calls to them to try and get someone out to fix it.
Finally had to hire my own company who evaluated and discovered there was a coolant leak - a very easily done process. Could have easily been fixed if any of their repair companies had taken the time to fix it. At that point the system completely failed - compressor seized due to lack of coolant and correct pressures - and whole system had to be replaced. I assumed since SHW representative said they would reimburse any company I contracted with for the fix all would be good. Provided the failure disposition to SHW and they immediately rejected it stating it was an electrical failure and according to section 9.1.2 in the exclusions section electrical failure for appliances and devices are exempt.
So, if you're trying to cover your appliances - if they operate with electricity - it appears they've built in an automatic exclusion and you'll likely be footing the bill for replacement anyway. Out of a more than $10k bill they offered me $400 to get me to stop calling. I explored cancelling my policy and getting a refund: purchased a 3.5 year long policy and less than a year into it they offered me less than half of my premium back. I'm not saying don't get a home warranty, but you may wish to use my experience as a warning to fully research just exactly what they actually do cover. My experience has been they cover FAR less than what they promise during the sales pitch.

"Unexpected Out-of-Pocket Costs and Delays", "Avoid This Company — Misleading Practices". I am dissatisfied with my experience with Select Home Warranty. I filed two separate claims — one for a gas dryer and one for a garage door opener. In both cases, the company did not authorize proper repairs or replacement, despite their advertised commitment to do so. Instead, they offered minimal settlement amounts that did not cover the cost of necessary repairs. Additionally, reimbursement processing was delayed without clear communication. The policy’s fine print significantly limits coverage, and these limitations are not clearly explained during the sales process. Based on my experience, I would caution other homeowners to review policies thoroughly and consider alternative providers.

I had a problem with oven, they told me that it was already broken and they cannot do anything about it. I have to purchase new one. One of my electric outlet stopped working suddenly. I created a case with them to fix. The vendor gave me date and time, I took off from my job and wait. Never showed up, never notified me. I called Select Home Warranty (SHW) and reported what happened. They tried to contact him, he showed up, collected $65 deductible and said he will come back. He never returned. I made several calls to SHW. I asked for different vendor. After 4 weeks, they sent a vendor and diagnosed a problem. The cost was $350. Now, SHW said that it was existing problem they are not liable for it. I went back and forth with them but they told me that it is not their responsibility to fix it because the electric wire were too old. It was very frustrating.
In short, SHW is scam. They hire very cheap vendor who are very unprofessional and do not know anything. Once the vendor said, they cannot fix it then they blame customer (us) because that is existing problem or in some cases it is not covered even though they take the register the case and covered item.

After calling and speaking with a representative he stated that section 8.3 of the document claims they will only give a certain amount based on the depreciated value of the product.

I am writing to express my concern regarding my recent experience with your company’s home warranty plan. I purchased a discounted 3-year + 6-month home warranty plan and paid $1,319.98 on July 3, 2023. When I filed a claim for an issue with an electrical outlet, I was informed that outlets located on the exterior wall of the house are not covered. However, the policy documents only state that "outlets" are covered, with no mention of interior or exterior distinctions. This seems like a hidden exclusion that only became apparent after filing a claim.
Additionally, when I attempted to cancel the policy after approximately 13–14 months of use, I was told I would receive a prorated refund. Instead, I was refunded only $87. After raising a complaint, a manager named Ron issued an additional $300, bringing the total refund to $387. That means I effectively paid $933 for just over a year of coverage—far from the prorated amount I was promised. This experience feels misleading and unfair. The promise of a prorated refund was a key factor in my decision to purchase this plan, and I believe this situation should be reviewed and corrected. I hope your team will honor the original terms and issue a proper refund based on the actual usage period.

This company always has a small clause in your contract. We don't repair this because of this. I have better things to do with my time than to stay on the phone arguing with someone that can't speak English. This company frustrates me. If you're thinking about using them DON'T!

This review is regarding customer service. I had a very bad experience because they promised me to give an additional month free after rating. I rated and followed all the instructions I received. I called them more than 20 times and I wrote to customer service. No answers!! The same process every time: I gave them my information, what was happen, etc. then they told me someone would have answered to me but I have never received an answer!!

Total Scam, Stay Away! Select Home Warranty (SHW) is an absolute scam. I’ve paid multiple service fees (copays), and not one of my appliance claims has been approved. Right now, BOTH of my refrigerators are not working, and SHW still refuses to cover the repairs, every time with some ridiculous excuse. I’ve tried to cancel and get my money back FOUR times, and each time they either lied or tricked me into staying on the plan, promising help that never came. They are dishonest, unprofessional, and provide zero value. This company is NOT here to help you. They exist to take your money and leave you stranded when you need the warranty. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from SHW. Plenty of more reliable and honest companies are out there—this is not one of them. DO NOT RECOMMEND. TOTAL SCAM.

I had a good conversation with Bruce **. Seemed like he was always looking for ways to help me find a better deal with them. Truly a good experience. The package deal to lock in on five years was truly a blessing. We really needed the peace of mind to make certain our appliances are covered.

They make you jump thru hoops to get your refund. Even if you submit the paperwork and provide proof. Then they claim you have paid the bill. They will not cancel and then they will say, "Oh let’s a give you a smaller amount." They are not a good company.

They're not a good company. I had to pay for all two of my repairs and $75.00 for service fees. Also I cancel my plan but they didn't make a note so I have to pay for another month and customer service is horrible. You pay but monthly but waste of time. Do not join Select Warranty or you will regret it when something breaks down. 👇👎

Customer service has lots of background noise and it was hard to understand what the rep said. Also, rep repeated options and seemed to speak from a script even when the responses did not apply. The reps need better training and more attention to solving problems in ways that show they have critical thinking and problem solving skills.

I was very pleased with the customer service we received from our representative Jake. He quickly responded to our many questions concerning the cost and coverage of the warranty. He was always courteous. We shall see how things go if we ever have a claim, but I suspect they will go very well..

I am so disappointed. I purchased a 3 year home warranty when I bought y house last summer. Sadly, the warranty is not worth the paper their policy is written on. Trying to get a technician assigned and out for service is arduous at best. I had a problem with my HVAC this winter during single digit temperatures and they didn’t get anybody to come out for an emergency callout, telling me it would be 3 to 4 days. I finally called and paid to have someone come out. On another time they set up a technician/company that not Trane certified and appeared to be some fly-by-night company not listed anywhere. They finally agreed to allow the company that put the HVAC in to come out.
When it was determined that I needed a thermostat, which unfortunately is a Trane smart thermostat and the only kind that will interface and run the system, they only approved $200 on a $1,300 quote. It was a not a quote for a fancy upgrade, it was to replace, like for like, the same one I have. I would love to have a simple $200 thermostat to run my system, but that’s not the smart high-efficiency system that’s in my home. Second claim - my icemaker in my refrigerator - they told me that it wasn’t covered in my policy but if I paid them $139 for an add-on policy, it would be covered. Like an idiot I paid the $139, and a few days later they told me that my policy didn’t cover icemaker repairs. Really?? What a scam. It’s horrifying to think that I could have a high ticket item break and I will have no recourse or approval for replacement. Just more of the same. Buyer beware.

Adam walked me through the plans and helped me to understand not only the details but which plan would make the next 5-6 years of my life “rest easy”. I’m a first time home warranty buyer but Adam made the process seamless. Thank you so much!

I was looking for a home warranty and received several quotes. I went with Select due to the offers it has given me. After speaking with Cory I felt this was the best option for us. The price was within our needs, and the policy was more than offered by other quotes we received.

Sam did a great job of explaining the options available and the cost-effectiveness of the available plans. While I’ve never purchased a home warranty before, we believed it made sense now as we’re purchasing a home with vulnerable appliances. The air conditioner, furnace and hot water heater are all original on this 18-year-old house. This coverage addresses uncertainty and risk of any or all of those failing. Plus the roof was covered at no extra charge. And if we have to file a claim we can pick our own technician. Our realtor recommended this coverage.

Great customer service in helping understand the offer and the items covered. Seems like great coverage at a very reasonable price. Customer support was very detailed in the offering and very patient while I was deciding on coverage. Would highly recommend. Web site was well designed and good at providing information. Since this is "insurance", I hope to never use it - but they seem to have a good process should I need to.

The representative was helpful and offered many discounts. The only reason I did not give a five was I felt a LOT of pressure to purchase more, though I did not. The additional coverage was a great value and although I was offered the option to cancel at any time, I was not prepared to spend the cost of multiple years.

Good Customer service. Good annual pricing and long-term plan pricing. Good coverages included at a lower cost when compared to competitors. They also provide flexibility in plans for those moving, renting properties or living out of state. I would highly recommend this company's services and wish we found it sooner.

Terrible claims approval, terrible customer service, excruciatingly long cancellation process. I filed a claim on my ductwork (there was damage from an animal) that was denied due to "maintenance" on a home we just moved into. I tried escalating it and asked for a call back several times but I just kept getting the same automated claim denial email. And when I went to cancel my policy, they charged me another $75 to do so. Stay away, spend your money elsewhere.
