I placed 3 calls to Select Home Warranty and did not receive good service. Either they could not find a repairman in my area or the service was not covered. I actually lost money with the service. I would not recommend this Home Warranty company. Please do not switch as I did. Terrible customer service also.

Select Home Warranty is definitely a company I would recommend. The sales staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The claims staff was equally up to the task when I placed my first plumbing claim - even though it was a small problem - and they handled it quickly. I believe they would do the same with bigger issues.

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.

I received a call from a local tech the next morning, he was out to my home a couple of hours later and they were able to get my AC working again. This was my second issue since I've been with Select and they were perfect in every way. I will be renewing my policy when it is time for renewal.

These guys are awful, don't get this warranty. My elderly mother got it and it took months for them to send her some money they owed her for a repair and they sent the most horrible document for her to sign that didn't make sense or look like it was even a real legal document. They don't return phone calls or seem to even understand what is going on when you try to contact them. Couldn't seem to send the check to my mother's correct address either. They are horrible. Try my company, it is really good and fast to pay. 2-10 warranty. I have had them for over a year and they are great!

I have waited two months and I still have a broken refrigerator. Eight calls to their "help" line have not helped. They have schedule 3 different contractors. Each time I wait a week for an appointment, confirm multiple times the appointment, and then the day of the appointment they are a no show. No phone call apologizing, just complete silence. I call the Select Home Warranty 800 number and the process is repeated. I just keep scheduling contractors that do not show up. No one can tell me why it takes 2 months to fix a refrigerator, let alone to have their contractors come to your house. I don't know if they don't have enough repair people in the area or if they just don't care. Regardless, I would not recommend Select Home Warranty. Go with a responsible home warranty company.

We have been with this company for a couple of years. We had a problem with our air conditioner. Select Home Warranty chosen contractor inspected the unit and advised that coils in the air conditioning unit was rotted out and needed replacing. In Select Home Warranty's contract 6.3.3 clearly state what the agreement covers and does not cover. There is no mention in the contract that coils are not covered. They refused to pay! I would not recommend this company to be considered for any home warranty program.

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?

Placing a claim online with Select Home Warranty was a breeze. They sent out a technician that recommended replacement and they approved me for a cash reimbursement.

This past weekend in NV was 115 degrees and my ac went out. I tried 3 times calling to speak to someone and was told that they would rush my request for a service tech to come to my house, still at this time no one has contacted me for repairs on my ac. I was told that I could call my own tech and to submit the claim and all charges will be reimbursed if my policy included repair or replacement on the condenser. Well the condenser broke, there was a broken coil which leaked all of the freon out and the fan wasn't working. After 48 hrs reviewing my claim, it was denied. I can go on and on. The idiot supervisor Dave said that was to use their tech (which I told him fine, if they ever referred one to me). Then he said that they don't cover freon leaks, and I said, "I wouldn't have a freon leak if the coil didn't break." He had every excuse not to honor my claim.
I demanded to speak to the CEO of the company or his supervisor and of course you can see where that went...NOWHERE! I would like to file a class action suit against this company for false advertisement and not honoring their obligation. If anyone is interested in joining me, I will retain an attorney and move forward. Please contact me through my email at **.

Ordered warranty through the closing process on my new home, the seller's closing title company accidentally issued payment for warranty to wrong company. Got that issue figured out and sent correct payment to Select Home Warranty and was agreed that the mistake was not mine, but the seller's title company and that I would need coverage to start immediately. 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.

I switched my home warranty service from AHS to Select after being 4 year with AHS. After 3 months I had an issue with Kitchen sink and filed a claim. In 3 days I have called them 4 times and every time a different story. Haven't received a vendor assignment yet. Now the Guy tells me that they will be sending a check for the garbage disposal and I have to install it myself!! Poor claim handling, Poor call quality - as it seems they are using some cheap/VOIP based 3rd party call center, No 24 Hrs support, as guys on weekend didn't even have access to account. They were just taking message to convey someone in Select on Monday (so 24 X 7 hrs service is BS). It is not just true "service call fee only" as in AHS I had similar issues and just paid the service fees. Here they will send me check for hardware and I need to figure out how to install or hire plumber myself.

I am offered $125 by Select Home to either fix my dishwasher on my own or buy a new one at my own cost ($1200)! Despite numerous emails and phone calls I am completely ignored by their claims people. Having paid $47.24 service fee, I neither have a fixed dishwasher nor a diagnosis report. Still waiting for their "Customer Advocate" to return my emails and calls. Recommend to read your contract well before signing. They charge your credit card first, when they sign you up, and then serve you with a one-sided contract and 30 days maturity period.

We purchased extra coverage for our second AC unit, pool and sprinkler system. We paid extra for the premium coverage just in case, but it was pointless with this company. Where do I start...We had a leak from our master bathroom shower that caused damage to our kitchen ceiling to the downstairs. They serviced out to a company that never answered their phone. It took over a month and no one ever was able to come out. We had to hire our own people and they never covered that damage. We paid out of pocket.
Our upstairs AC unit went out. First, it took over a week for someone they recommended to come out. We had to call our own people. The work the AC company did was not covered because "it was not a mechanical problem". The dryer filter was broken and it had to be fixed. They said that it was not a mechanical problem therefore it was not covered. We paid out of pocket.
Then, our garage door spring broke, saying that it was not covered because it was not a mechanical problem. We paid out of pocket. Then our sprinkler system stopped working. 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.

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...

I purchased this home warranty when we bought our home almost 9 months ago. Within the last 2 weeks, our central air unit went out. This was the first I have had the need to even turn on the unit since we moved in. I followed the steps, contacted the company, and they told me 3 or 4 different contractors would be contacting me (none did, I had to call one of them). It was determined that the unit was going to have to be replaced. The claim was denied because I am unable to provide annual service records for the past 3 years, when I have not even lived there that long and the previous owners didn't give me any of that information. I did manage to find a local company that had done some repairs, but since it was not a maintenance record, it was not good enough.
Therefore, only $100 will be allowed toward my new AC unit, as I am being penalized because the previous owner did not provide me with any maintenance records, or perhaps never had any maintenance done annually. That being said, I asked about my furnace, which is 30 years old. There are no maintenance records for that unit either. Even if I had a contractor come out and do "annual maintenance" for me right now and my furnace goes out this winter, I was told it will NOT be covered because of the previous owner's lack of maintenance. Apparently that is my fault when I purchased this warranty to cover myself over things like this. Do your research and read all fine print in the contract (which they don't send until after you sign to purchase) and when it says "maintenance records" are required, ask how far back and what happens if you don't have them or access to them.

I want to advise every potential customer of this company to review the contract with a fine tooth comb. We have attempted to submit three claims for various items in our house, two of which were outright denied. The final claim was approved, however they authorized only $95 for a mounted 1000 watt microwave (our deductible is $45). They refused to include installation for the replacement microwave, despite the fact that a non-permanently mounted microwave is excluded from the contract. After an exhaustive search for a mounted 1000 watt microwave, I could not find any product that came close to $140.
The customer service rep (Jermel at extension **) was unable to provide me (despite being asked multiple times) to provide a make and model of a microwave that is comparable to our current one that cost $140. I understand Select Home Warranty is a business, designed to make a profit, but with their exhaustive list of non-included items the customer gets screwed every time. Our incompetent rep (once again, Jermel at extension **) refused to put a supervisor on the phone when asked. Be very, very cautious and skeptical of anything this company offers you. They are happy as clams to take your monthly payment, but when it comes to helping a customer it is a different story.

The one time we had a problem with the water heater, while submitting the claim I have specified that it is a tank less water heater but still they assigned a contractor and the technician took some photos of the water heater and said "we will send our notes/review to your warranty people." After couple of days got a response from Select Home Warranty that "we don't cover tank less water heater."

The last claim I had is with Slab water leakage in the garage. Even here also same thing happened. Contractor came to my house, took the pictures and after a week the Home Warranty people said "we don't cover slab leaks." If they know that they don't cover these kind of things they should inform us before/while submitting the claim. I also requested them that "I don't know any other plumbers.

I never received a lapsed billing notification, they told me it was not their responsibility to send me another bill, nor did I receive a cancellation notice.

In the last 10 years, I've had policies at 3 various warranty companies, and I can say, this company is the most difficult company to work with. I had my policy for nearly a year before I made a claim on a bad faucet. Since then I've filed two other claims - one for a bad light switch and one for my septic tank motor not working. Only 1 provider showed up (the plumber). He took my money, said he'd come back with the part, and never came back to make the repair. The electrician never showed at all, and now they are stalling with making the appointment for the septic tank. For the faucet and septic tank, I've been asked to submit pictures, which I am sure is a stall tactic - I've never been asked for this in the past by other providers.
They initially denied my claim - faucet claim without knowing any details on the grounds that the product has a lifetime warranty - which had they done any due diligence at all - they would have known that the warranty transfer to the next homeowner. They keep poo-pooing me when I call - promising me they will get someone out, but no one comes. For over 6 weeks I have had a leak in my shower that is now resulting in further damage that I'm sure they won't cover. They are literally stalling every chance they get. They just want to take the premium and run. I am seriously evaluating the possibility of suing them for fraud.

Select Home Warranty agents are reachable only when you are trying to sign up with the company and not any other times. The price was very low than other companies. Usually you get what you pay, but here you don't get anything. The claims submitting process is open-ended you don't get a ticket number.. 99 % of the time agent is not reachable, as the phone is always busy. There is no online system to submit the request. You send an email for the request. Yes in 2015 they still do it. All the agents are rude and they look for a way to deny your claim. My AC was not working and when I called them they asked for maintenance record after many emails and then they refused stating that it is routine maintenance work... and they informed I should have got additional coverage... wherein actually I got highest coverage available. This place is total ripoff and they just done cover anything.

I am glad I chose Select as my warranty provider. I placed a garage door and I got no run around to fix it.

Select Home Warranty is the real deal. They are always quick to answer my claims. Just recently I had a washer breakdown and Select replaced my washer and all I paid was my service call charge.

Great job done by select. When I first placed my claim I got an email with the name of a claims rep who handles my claim. He was there for my questions the whole way. Anything I needed he took care of, very patient and very polite.

Received a call from Select Home Warranty consumer affairs department and the gentleman on the phone was able to credit back the cancellation fee. He was very helpful and understanding and listened to my concern. Thank you much, its nice to talk with someone who understands what I was dealing with and my particular scenario.

Once again, I talk with a salesman who convinces me to buy a home warranty for my property which I was at the time planning to rent out. It was well spoken that I could activate the service any time and/or cancel at any time once the renters moved in. Unfortunately, my plans fell through and I did not rent out the house. I recently requested a refund. It took two months to finally issue the refund, however it ended up being a fraction of the original amount due to a cancellation fee and a prorated fee for two months. Of course it didn't matter that I never even used the service nor did I activate it. Just very disappointing when you talk to a manager and they don't show any interest in your issue nor any care to offer assistance to make a happy customer.
Select Home Warranty, you disappoint me and your customer service is terrible.

I live in New Mexico. It's pretty hard to find a warranty company. Select agreed to write us a policy. Just finished with a electrical problem in my home. Everything went absolutely well.

Very disappointed! I purchased a 3 year home warranty last year and I already had to cancel it. Last year I had placed 3 claims with the company and for each one an excuse was made and coverage was denied or not paid fully. This year the same is reoccurring. Just placed another claim and was given more excuses and denied coverage again. This service is not to be trusted! Why pay for coverage and then coverage will basically be denied. The money spent on this service and the company was definitely not well spent. Will be contacting Consumer Services to place a formal complaint.
