    This company emailed me at different occasions refusing to repair my dishwasher, plumbing and garbage disposal and told me to find someone else to either fix it or they would pay only $75 if I decide to purchase a new dishwasher and garbage disposal, smh. The bad part of it all if I cancel after 30 days they would charge me $75! I want to make sure no one get scammed like I did..

    Agent seemed interested in what I had to say and offered an alternative fix. Select Home Warranty couldn't get a service pro to come to me within 2 weeks so they offered to reimburse me if I got someone to do the repair, and follow their reimbursement guidelines. I do believe SHW needs more service pros to serve certain zip codes.

    ++AVOID AT ALL COSTS** Water heater broke Jan 1st. I was able to schedule their technician for that same week. It took them 2 weeks to make a decision that they would give me $175 towards a new water heater to fix the old one. I had to already spent $150 to have a technician out 2 weeks earlier. It was only a reimbursement as well meaning I had to pay for it first and submit receipts. After I submitted the receipt it took over 3 weeks to get a simple email to confirm the refund and then another month after the email to get the check in the mail. Company is a joke. Very poor customer service over the phone. Absolutely stunning that it took three weeks to get an email to confirm refund, astounding that the default message says 10 days for a simple email!

    The sales person offered great deals including 2 months free and discounted service calls. But when I submitted a claim for a replacement, they only offered a fraction of the cost. They did not cover installation or removal of the old appliance. I’ve tried working with their customer service and it’s almost impossible to work with him. When I tried calling, it’s told not to leave a message….just email. However, he doesn’t answer emails. I’ve reported them to the BBB and they are still reluctant to even talk time.

    Select Home Warranty is not a good company due to the fact that when you have a warranty plan with them, come to find out that my refrigerator with them, covered, but when my water dispenser went out, I called them and had a representative to ask me that I have a icemaker, then proceeded for me to add ice maker to my plan which cost me $139 then later that day I get an email from them saying that after looking at my plan that the water dispenser was not covered. I think this is misleading to the customer and now I’m going to cancel my my plan and I want my $139 back that I paid, I will no longer be doing business with select home warranty because I think that get over on customers and every time you call in to get a service done to either cancel or they say that they do not provide the service for the item or they tell you that the appliance that you do need to be serviced is too old.

    I have no idea why I must even award this company a star. First and foremost, they use deceptive sales tactics, making you believe that the warranty will cover your appliances. Beware and never trust them. Secondly, when it comes to starting a claim, they will do anything to refuse your claim. They will throw the many fine prints they have, finding a way to deny your claim.

    My refrigerator went out, I had to pay their service fees to find out that they will not cover my refrigerator based on what the technician reported, who subsequently worked for them. Then my Garage door opener went out and same thing again, but this time they were willing to pay for the garage door motor. Only this time they concluded that the garage door opener constitutes a 5 times less than the technician estimate for it's called depreciation value. Yet again another made up fine print. So basically, they were going to pay me $ 220 for $1250 fee, their technician reported. I have managed several properties and I never experienced such a thing, therefore stay away from doing business with them.

    My microwave stopped working so I called Select. I got a automated message asking what I needed and they asked me 2 questions, What was I calling about, and what is the problem. I answered my microwave was not working, and I was asked what it was doing. I said 'nothing'. They said a repair man would call me. Never called never came. Instead, I recieved a letter stating my mic was not worth repairing it would cost too much. To purchase a new one!. 1st of all my mic was only a couple yrs old. 2, no one ever came to look at it to SEE what was wrong with it. I called again and asked to speak to a manager, and was told a manager was not in, but he would call me back in 24 hours. Never did, so I called again, nothing. I received another letter stating I could go buy a new one and they would re imburse me $95. Really, a over the stove mic for $95. I sent in the receipt as told, and was waiting for my refund which never came,.

    Being totally disgusted, I called and cancelled my policy, and they charged me $75, Not ever receiving my check, I called again. This time they told me I would NOT be receiving a check because I cancelled my policy. I made the claim 2 month PRIOR to cancelling, so I was covered at the time of the claim. I don't even think this is legal! To sum it up, they are a scam!! This was not what the sales rep, explained to me when I purchased the policy, not at all!

    Run away from this company. I was told when the contract was offered to me that they repair/replace defected items in your home. That is a lie. My dishwasher costs $719 to repair, $631 to replace. They offered me $150. I have 20 months left on my contract I was told I can cancel at any time for a refund of the unused contract they offered me zero for the 45% of my contract left. I will have to sue them in the public courts now.

    I had a policy with CHOICE a few years ago and my HVAC unit, which was 37 years old, failed. They replaced it in full and I paid the service call fee and another cost not covered by the warranty to replace it. That service is what is expected of a Home Warranty. And another note: for this dishwasher, their repairman canceled my appoint five minutes before he was to arrive after I'd waited for him for five days, and when he offered me an appointment seven days later I ctcd Select who told me that is their only repairman in all of the Indio area and that I could hire my own licensed repairman and call for an authorisation. WE did this and sat together in my kitchen for 1H46M on hold when the poor guy had to leave for another job.

    Called Select and it turned out that they had transferred me to an office they knew was closed, so all that was a colossal waste of our time. Sent in my estimate to their CLAIMS portal and of course the first thing they did was deny it since I hadn't called for an authorisation (I sent them also a screenshot of my telephone proving the call was placed and the long wait was endured).

    After many calls with me shouting, they agreed to reopen the case only to offer me $150 toward the $715 repair. They have the right to do that according to their contract, yet that was not the spirit of the agreement when it was sold to me a few months ago. As I said, I tried to cancel so as to use the residual value toward the cost of my dishwasher repair/replacement and they refused saying the refund value is zero. RUN AWAY FROM THEM! Take your money and put it in a savings account toward future repairs that is the smart thing to do!

Said new dryer had to be purchased and receipt mailed to them before sending me my 150.00 refund. So I first had to pay 125.00 to have the technician come out and then wait two weeks to find out that the would not fix the dryer! I gave them another chance after SHW convinced me they could do better. NO THEY DID NOT GET BETTER. My LG dishwasher (3years old) stopped cleaning my dishes. I called them and they did the same as before! This time they offered me 125.00 refund to purchase a new dishwasher! What a crock of BULL! The are freaking terrible company!!!!

    Do not use this home warranty company! It is a scam! They will take all your money for the year, and make you pay contractors each visit, then they say they cannot repair it and it is too old to replace. So they will only give you maybe 100 if that per appliance or home system that needs repair. They write in their contract that they cover even old appliances and home systems and this is not true!

    For the amount of money I spent on their annual fee and visit fees, I could have used that money to pay the haul the old appliances and bought new ones. Now all of my money went to Select Home Warranty instead so I cannot afford to buy new appliances that were "covered" under my plan. Please do not waste your money on this scamming company and be sure to tell your family and friends not to select either!

    You will never get your appliances or home systems fixed or replaced. Even if the tech recommends it. The most you will get is $100 for the replacement of an appliance no matter what that Appliance is or how old it is because they say it's too depreciated and not in good repair or you don't have the record showing you've been maintaining it. This company is a scam!

One (1) year later, we had our dryer belt go out. I was told to find my own contractor and call them. I did. Had the tech call them twice to make sure everything is done by the book. They had us pay upfront for all fees, i.e. troubleshoot, repair, labor and parts. I was told we would be reimbursed except for our deductible. Not the case.

    Instead of a deductible we were told that we have to pay for the labor ourselves?! Where is that in the policy?? If I wanted to pay for any repairs in my home I wouldn't have paid an outrageous price for a home warranty company! They don't communicate, just "Oh so sorry, but that is our policy."

    This is my second time with the warranty claims and all went extremely well. Also, because my appliances that required service calls were all GE, the services were done by people from GE repair. Select Home Warranty has direct contract with them, so the technicians doing the work were experienced with the appliances. The only time I didn't get the repair I expected to be covered was when my water heater leaked. I didn't realize the leak isn't covered until SHW pointed to the contract where it was listed as not covered. My bad that I didn't read the contract carefully!

    The second claim is for my four year old GE washer/dryer combo that worth at least $1000 model GE 24" Front Load Washer/Condenser Dryer Combo GFQ14ESSNWW, and after paying the deductible, they said the cost to repair it is too high and they need to pay me $150 for towered bringing another repair company on my own or toward a replacement, and when I asked them about the $150 evaluation, they said it is the depreciation value.

I've had Select for three years and at least 4 service calls with nothing but headaches. I believe I could have had repairs done in WAY less time and for only marginally more money if I di not have to go through the warranty. I do not believe a competent contractor would align themselves with this company.

    Customer service agents are sourced from overseas and are difficult to communicate with due to language barrier.

They've also cost me time, money, and stress due to shlepping back and forth to a laundromat while rather pregnant. The sales department is here in the US but their customer service department is in India and most of the reps I spoke to couldn't speak clear English which only made the process more challenging.

Prior to the appointment I tried to look up the appliance company that was coming out to see who I was dealing with. I could not find anything about them and they came in an unmarked van and no uniform and a single drill in hand. I explained to the technicians that the leak was constant even when the unit wasn't running. They ran the washer for a minute, lifted the front end and the other guy looked underneath and said the leak is coming from the back. Note they were looking at the bottom of the attached pedistool drawer. My common sense says when you make the back the lowest point, gravity will pull the water there. They did not open the unit to see where the leak was actually coming from. They collected the service fee and they were in and out in 10 minutes.

    I was hoping they knew what they were looking at and would come back to fix the issue. Later I get an email stating that the repair cost is over the DEPRECIATED value of my washer and a settlement of $200 is what they would offer. Which you will need to provide receipts to get. I called to talk to a manager and they start off the call by saying "The final resolution for your claim is $200" which states they are not willing to work you and can not help. So they will not fix it or replace it for a like model if they determine it exceeds what they value your unit as. At this point I have a damaged unit that I will have to be out of pocket for to repair or replace. Don't waste your money on SELECT HOME WARRANTY. I have used other home warranties that have sent good technicians to repair and install new replacement units.

    I signed up for a 5 year plan but I decided to cancel after just three months. The reason was that they took care of nothing. In once instance they sent someone who said that the microwave was broken and offered $25 and asked me to buy a new one. It would cost me $1500 to buy a new microwave. Same thing with the disposal system. They did not even bother to send someone to see what the issue was. They just said we will pay you $75, you can buy a new one and install it yourself. When I tried to cancel they basically stiffed me of almost one years rate. But I am really glad I cancelled my subscription. Worst company ever.

    Don't waste your money and time with Select Home Warranty. When it comes time to pay out towards repairs or replacement of appliances/equipment, Select will find any reason possible to not pay out or pay as little as possible although the service contract states otherwise. Not only that, they won't send you a cent until you show proof you've replaced or repaired the item yourself, which is unlike some other warranty companies. Then when you try to cancel service, they transfer you to someone who's going to ignore your request to cancel for about 20 minutes, then charge you $75 for canceling although they owe you $150 to go towards replacement/repairs. I told them to keep it all. It was worth getting rid of them. Cheaper isn't always better.

Their turn around time for an "approved" vendor is atrocious. When calling customer service you almost need an interpreter as no one there speaks clear and concise English. My recommendation would be to find a different provider. These people are ripoff artists.

    Paid over $4,000 for this terrible warranty. If they think an item will cost more to repair than it's worth (based on their appraisal), they will give you what they believe it is worth and not fix it. My dishwasher had problems and they gave me $60 to replace it. They could not tell me how they came up with their estimate and they charged me $60 for the service visit. So basically I received nothing.

    I had two homes with SHW and it was the same difficulties for both. They make it extremely difficult to file a claim. They require the technician to call for approval once they are there and the technician complained that it it a cumbersome process for them. I had a technician get so frustrated that he opted to simply fix the issue and not charge me or SHW. I was told I could receive a full refund if not fully satisfied and I received $2,100 out of over $4,000 paid. Lesson learned: If it sounds to good to be true, it's NOT true.

    I've had Select Home Warranty for about 1 1/2 years, and they are a horrible company to deal with. They could never find reputable contractors to come and complete the work. I was stood up twice by the same contractor. The contractor had me sitting home twice waiting on him to show up, he never called to cancel, didn't answer his phone and/or texts. I finally got fed up with them & tried to cancel. When I tried to cancel the contract, the company gave me a hard time & kept offering different things to keep me. I declined; I had just paid my monthly fee plus the fee to the contractor who finally came out but didn't fix the problem. Select told me that I would have to pay $75 to terminate the contract, which I think that's ridiculous. I will never deal with this company again. Thanks.

    I switched to Select Home Warranty around 2020. Sales representative was excellent and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with the product being sold, but the product is not what I was sold. I didn’t file any claims the first year I had SHW, and I signed a 3-year contract in 2021 because of the sales representative’s conversations with me on coverage. I have had several issues with SHW with regard to the claim process once we have had to file claims. Some repairs have been significantly delayed due to SHW’s protocols such as it took over 4 weeks to have my dishwasher repaired.

    I have a current claim open as of 1/27/25 as my downstairs heating unit is not working. SHW assigned a contractor, and the technician came out on 1/29/25. The technician diagnosed the problem as a bad gas valve. SHW ordered the part needed and it arrived at my home on 2/1/25. The technician came out again on 2/4/25 to install the part, but once installed, the unit still did not work. Technician requested a gas hose and said the part wasn’t working because the hose was bent and not allowing air through it.

    SHW has had this request since 2/5/25 for the gas hose, and they are still processing this claim. SHW has approved to pay for the part but stated I have to pay for the labor. I also had to pay for the labor on the gas valve installation, which was $250, plus I had to pay the $65 service call fee. I’ve never had to pay for labor before through SHW, and when I questioned this, I was told SHW paying for labor in the past was a “courtesy” for me. The sales representative who sold me the contract told me that I would pay the $65 service fee for each claim, and then SHW would cover the repair/ replacement depending on which cost more. This statement has proved to be untrue.

    I also questioned why I would have to pay for labor a second time since the technician they contracted with failed to correctly diagnose the problem the first time he came out, and I was told that was just how it was. I’ve asked numerous time to speak with a supervisor, and I’m assured a supervisor will call me back, but that has yet to happen. I’ve been calling SHW and have been in contact with the contractor 3-5 times per day, and yet this claim remains open. I am currently on day 15 with no heat in TN with temperatures below freezing and snow in the forecast for later this week. This company is inconsistent, unprofessional, and does not live up to the product they advertise.

    2025--Select Home Warranty is an absolute joke-- So NOT use this company! We purchased a 3-year warranty with our new (used) home purchase, and unfortunately we had to file a claim shortly after the start for a garage door opener that wouldn't work. This company spent a week "contacting providers in their network", only to reply that none were available and we would have to find a provider and pay whatever their service fee was. And the companies they "found," who were not available (of course not), were between 4 and 9 hours away!!

    The warranty technicians just give you the run-around, keep with delays, and the company (after over 5 calls) would absolutely not help us solve this issue without us incurring massive extra costs. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Oh, by the way, we found a garage door company within an hour of us that could fix the exact model of our opener and it was solved in a day. Shame on Select Home Warranty, stealing people's money only to make them solve it themselves anyway.

I called Select Warranty to start the claim process and the next day, I was "denied" for Air Conditioning (Central) Condensation not covered. I called and spoke to 3 different agents to explain that the denial was not accurate and that I had a boiler (Crown boiler) and that this was a return pipe issue and should be covered under plumbing or heating on my PLATINUM Policy that I pre-paid for 3 years. They all said I would have to wait for someone to call me back about the reconsideration review. I told them that I could not wait much longer and needed to speak to someone and they said that this was the process.

    An additional day went by with no response, so I proceeded to find someone to do the work. They had to replace 15 ft of pipe. When I called the next day, they said submit the diagnosis report. When I did that, they now denied the claim stating that I did not get proper authorization! They did not see that THEY denied it incorrectly which delayed the proper authorization. If you follow their slow process, you will have damage to your property If you want a competent company with knowledgeable customer service reps on the phone to triage and answer questions, DO NOT use this company.

    I started a claim for our heating unit in mid-January. After the assigned contractor came out, he told us the heating Relay for emergency heat wasn't working. We paid the $65 service fee, and they told us they'd submit it to Select. That was a Monday. We did not hear from either the contractor or Select by Friday, so we attempted to contact the contractor to see what the problem was. They didn't respond. So we called Select and asked them what was going on. They had no answer. The person on the phone said they were just going to attempt to contact the technician as well, but with no luck. So, they were going to assign a new contractor. However, the original contractor called this back on Monday and said he had the part and was coming out to fix it.

    We let select know what was going on. The contractor came back out and was attempting to change the part out but could not do it. He said he would have to add on another part to the repair and would have to submit another claim. I called select and let them know when he had said, and then told them that our contract was going to end and it said it was going to auto renew... I did not want them to auto renew it, and just wanted to complete the assigned claim. They told me that because my contract was ended, that the repair would not go through.

    I explained to them that the repair and claim was started before the end of the contract, but they refuse to honor it even though I'd already paid the service fee and the contractor had already been to my home to try and fix it. So I canceled them and told them they were terrible and I stand by that... as a side note, the contractor that came out told us that's in 7 years of doing working with Select, they have never honored a replacement of a heating or air conditioning unit even though there were multiple times where he told them the unit was no good, and they still refused to replace it for the customer and have never done it as far as he has ever known or seen...

    I would give 0 stars if I could. After having to find my own technician (since you were not able to find one for us), we paid the diagnosis fee and were told that Select Home Warranty will not cover the repair that is required due to a part that has failed due to normal wear and tear. With the technicians who specifically noted that the part has failed due to normal use, it should have been clearly covered and instead, they try to offer to pay for less than the cost of 1 of the 3 parts that need to be replaced. It is reprehensible to think that a company would deny a claim that is well within the outlines of the agreement (on a covered appliance) and which failed through no fault of our own. The only fault we have is trusting Select Home Warranty with thousands of dollars and thinking that they would actually do what they contracted to do.

    I paid over $1400 for 3 years of Select Home Warranty Platinum policy and so far out of 3 claims only 1 was covered by them. I called because my dishwasher went out. The technician came the next day and was wonderful. He diagnosed the problem as needing a control panel. 3 weeks later I finally called SHW and was told they would only cover up to $150 and I had to hire my own technician. I already paid $65 and they didn't even have the decency to notify me that they have the option of not paying the full price. See section 8 paragraph 3. I asked Deeb when would I get the money and he said AFTER I submit a repair bill.

    Now, I just got off the phone with Mariel and she said my leaking shower is NOT covered. If I want that covered I have to pay $449. I have water coming from the wall by the shower head. I can't believe this. The only thing they did cover was when my dishwasher was leaking and that took about 3 weeks to get fixed because the technician they called never came back and they had to find a different one.

    Be very mindful of what is covered. We purchased a multiyear contract and now regret it after the latest experience with Select. Our water heater failed in January 2025 and was leaking due to a corrosion of the tank as most water heaters do over time. Ours was 7 years old. We filed a claim with Select and they first approved it after a plumber came out to look at it. Then they denied the claim because water heater was leaking! Even though Select's contract states major components are covered, leaking tanks are not.

    I called to explain that a tank on the water heater is a major component and it is common for the tank to corrode and start leaking, which has been the case for all three water heaters we have replaced in past years. Select refused to honor our claim and it cost us $1000 out of pocket and took 7 days to get the water heater replaced. I promptly cancelled our contract and got $1500 returned as the remaining balance of our contract. Buyer beware! Kimbol R

Upon ordering and receiving the part, Select Warranty engaged another contractor to manage my claim. The contractor identified the incorrect part and placed an order for the correct one. After approximately a week, I contacted Select Warranty about the part; it had not been ordered, and a new request was issued for a contractor to visit. Weeks went by, and my refrigerator remained unrepaired despite my conversations with several customer service representatives.

    DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! We have had a home warranty with Select Home Warranty for about a year and filed our first claim last month concerning an issue with our Kitchen Aid Dishwasher. A service company was assigned and came out and we paid the policy's $75 service call fee. They diagnosed the issue as a broken water pump and submitted a request to replace the pump to SHW who approved it and then ordered the replacement pump. The Pump arrived and when we went to set up an appointment with the service company to come out and install the pump they told us that they had received a notice from SHW that they would not cover the cost to install the pump and we would have to pay their service fee install the pump.

    I called SHW customer service and was told that our contract did not provide for the cost of installation. I told the agent that I was totally surprised to find this out because their website states "We’ll repair your covered item. You pay a minimal service fee. Simple as that". I asked the agent how could "repair" not include installing a replacement part and she quoted me a clause from the contract stating they do not cover "doors, handles...or installation". I told her that clause was very misleading and asked her how they could equate not covering the installation of a replacement part needed to complete the repair with doors and handles? She then told me that they do cover installation in "some cases...as a courtesy".

    When I asked her what criteria they use in determining whether to offer a "courtesy installation".... her answer was "That's a good question" and said she could add nothing further on the matter. As we obviously had to have the repair completed this left us having to pay for installation which should have been covered as necessary part of making the repair. This company's marketing information states that they repair covered items.... when they actually only "partially" repair covered items.

    To make matters worse the dishwasher is still not working because they discovered it needs a new control board. The service company submitted a request to have SHW purchase the part and they just emailed to inform me that they determined the repairs exceed the value of my unit and will now only give me $225 towards any other repair or the purchase of new machine. Our unit was a kitchen aid that cost almost $900. So they in essence are washing their hands of this claim.

    Do not use this company. I have the platinum plan and didn't use it for the 1st year. In last 2 months I had smaller claims for sewer clog and sink drain leaking and they refuse to pay any labor. They say it is an exclusion due to 1 word in section 9 "installation". Installation of a part is excluded and you have to pay out of pocket. Today the furnace is broke and they refuse to pay for any repairs. Do not use this company.

    My parents had Select Home Warranty a couple of years ago for two properties. He called in July 2023 and cancelled the policies and switched to another home warranty company. A year and a half later, he started getting charge $40/month with no communication from them explaining. We called Select Home Warranty and asked about the charges. We were told the policy was cancelled and there wouldn't be any more charges.

    The next month there was another charge. We called again and they said there was a glitch, and they discovered the 2nd policy was never cancelled. They fixed the glitch, and we started getting charged again. After going around and around with a customer server specialist, they REFUSED to refund the money and in order to officially cancel the policy on a date that isn't their anniversary date, they charge $75.00. I was completely shocked and disappointed on how they treated a customer. Of course, they were trying to get us to keep the policy enabled. We told them we would NEVER do business with a company that treats customers like this and would be sure to warn others. We switched to Fidelity and have been much happier with their customer service.

    Stay away from this company. When you are signing up, they tell you they cover repair or replacement for the appliances that fall under the warranty you purchase. However, once you need to use them, you have to pay a service fee, and then they only cover what your appliance is worth now. We could have just bought a new appliance for what we paid for the warranty and the service fee. I would have given a ZERO if I could. They are a complete scam. Go elsewhere.

    I called the other day about a leaky water pipe in my house. The customer service department informed me that I needed to wait for approval and an appointment from the plumbing company. The plumbing company had to shut off the water for the entire community, leaving everyone without water for more than five hours. If I follow their suggestion to wait for the appointment, they might need to fix or replace the floors, walls, and furniture in my house, as well as in my neighbor's house. However, when I contacted them to claim fixing the water leak myself, they rejected it because I acted without their authorization. I cannot expect an entire community to be without water for days on end.

Took a quick picture and said it's up to insurance company to cover the repairs, what are joke, needles to say called the insurance company and was told the heater is not covered. Due to corrosion. After a few days I inspected the unit myself and found there was nothing wrong with heater, the fuse box needed a toggle, false accusations by Home warranty not to cover the water heater.

    Next week my air handler went down, yes I had full insurance, called Select Home Warranty, yes they send another so called Technician, this guy did go to the diagnose the air handler and reported a transmitter need to be replaced, he called Select Home Warranty for approval, yes of course they denied the approval, we had winter storms and I paid out of pocket to fix my air handler, the Technician put a new Transmitter, apparently that wasn't the issue, said I needed a new unit, I then call Select Home Warranty and said what the technician reported, then they came with another excuse saying it's electrical and they won't cover the system, what a scamming company, it's a joke, please NEVER USE THIS COMPANY, YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF!!!

    It is really unfortunate one cannot rate less than one star. I filed a claim for a GE Monogram Advantium microwave ($2000). The screen went blank with a blinking line. SHW response was, quoted from the policy, basically saying, "The repair was more than the value of the repair". Therefore I was told I was approved for $95 replacement. Their max is $500. I ended up hiring on my own. A company came out and fixed it for $98. I think this warrants a full refund simply because they never asked for the model of my microwave. They never attempted to send a company to inspect it. Major complaint: english is a difficult language for everyone I spoke to. I requested a supervisor and he was a little better with his English and that is why they deserve at least one star. I requested a full refund, so let's see how this goes.

    Ask for the full pdf of the policy before deciding on your purchase of this "warranty". NOTHING is truly covered. The exclusions include EVERYTHING. For example, I paid a premium to have roofing included in my policy. But after all their exclusions, I'm not sure what's left that they're willing to cover. Here's the excerpt from the policy: "This Agreement applies to roof leak repairs over the occupied living area of single family homes only. This Agreement covers the roof leaks only. Excluded: (i) patios; (ii) metal roofs; (iii) shingles; (iv) cracked and/or missing material; (v) tiles; (vi) tar and gravel; (vii) flat or built-up roofs; (viii) structural leaks; (ix) gutters; (x) downspouts; (xi) skylights; (xii) flashing; (xiii) solar components; (xiv) attic vents; (xxv) satellite components; (xvi) antennae; and (xvii) chimney components. This Agreement does not SHWP BL 05.10cover repairs requiring partial or complete replacement of the roof."

    When my air conditioning went out, the repairman that was sent out told me I had purchased the worst home warranty policy imaginable. Select won't refuses to cover AC repairs 99% of the time. I haven't tried them for anything else, but I don't imagine they'll be useful for anything. I am stuck with about 2 more years on a $1,700 3-year contract with Select and it has been a huge waste of money.

    REPAIRS TAKE FOREVER + CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS? Customer service gave a different story regarding my issues/questions each time I called. “Managers” gave a fake call back extension, said they would call me to follow up (they didn’t), that they would expedite things but there was never a follow through. It took TWO MONTHS for a simple repair. I had to call, and call, and call, and call. REPAIR TECHS HATE THEM! They warned us that SHW denies 95% of claims before they came to our house because they are familiar with the frustration. It can take 1 week+ for a diagnosis, a few days for an approval/denial, THEN they can start ordering parts for repair and scheduling the repair. They will send you an offer to leave a review for 1 month free, and they will never give you the free month.

I had a roof leak that they did not cover because they said that roof leaks are an add on benefit, even though this coverage was shown in my paperwork. I had a garbage disposal stop working and they made another excuse for that and a few months later my dishwasher motor quit and the excuse this time was that it was a power surge that killed the motor. Not sure how they know this and does it matter really? It is dead and it is through normal use, yet they decline to cover it. DO NOT use this company!

    I purchased a Select Home Warranty Platinum Care Protection plan providing coverage from 2022 to 2028. The cost was $2250. This was their top tier plan. I wanted a company to rely on when I needed them for home repairs. I had my first claim in 2025. After about 10 days of going back-and-forth with the company, they could not find a technician to come out and service my hot water heater. Initially they would not cover my hot water heater because they were telling me that my problem was not covered under the contract. Finally they decided they would cover the problem after I threatened to cancel the policy. After reopening the claim they closed it a second time and did not inform me. I was waiting days to hear from a company to repair my water heater and that was never going to happen.

    I told them I wanted to cancel the plan again and get a prorated refund for the remaining years in the contract. After speaking with several employees in the cancellation department, they would not cancel my policy nor would they let me ever speak with a manager. I was always told a manager was not available and every time I wanted to cancel the plan they would just read off this long rehearsed statement about how I am such a loyal customer and the plan would not be canceled. Finally, after getting quite aggressive with the company, I was able to get the plan canceled.

    Now for the refund. I feel that the company did not pay me the full prorated amount that I deserve. I find that the amount due was short by $200. I paid the policy in full with a credit card. I am now told my refund check will be mailed in a month or so. There was no reasoning with the company. I would not suggest this company by any means. They do not seem to have any companies to provide a service. They are also very stubborn and difficult to deal with. All of the employees have a very strong accent and are difficult to understand. That makes the matter even more frustrating. I would stay away from this company. Choosing Select Home Warranty was a big mistake. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

    I gave it one star because zero wasn’t an option. If you’re shopping for a home warranty, run from Select Home Warranty. Every claim we submitted was denied, there’s always some “clause” that supports a denial of claims. We bought roof coverage, had a leak, denied. Dishwasher broke down, submitted claim, denied. Christmas Eve 2022 our furnace broke down while it’s below zero, they had a clause that cleared them of covering that claim. I requested to cancel and pro rated refund, denied! We had a warranty prior with another company from purchasing the house, they didn’t have partner repair providers in our area but paid claims.

    We looked to this company because they “serviced our area”. I guess when you decline every claim you can say whatever you like. If you do business with these fraudsters, consider yourself warned.

    I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the services provided by Select Home Warranty. This company sells what are supposed to be maintenance contracts for plumbing, household appliances, etc. However, when you call them for a repair, they inform you that you are not covered for the issue and attempt to sell you additional coverage, which still does not fully cover the problem.

    I called them regarding a leaking faucet, and they told me that I was not covered for faucets. They then convinced me to purchase additional coverage to cover the faucet. After a week, I finally received an estimate from the plumber assigned by them, who quoted $1,460 USD to replace the faucet. Select Home Warranty only offered to pay $200.00. Ultimately, I decided to call an independent plumber, who came and completed the work for $377.00. This experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. I feel misled by the company’s claims of comprehensive coverage, and I believe that this issue needs to be addressed promptly.

    Summary: do not contract with Select Home Warranty. They have zero interest in customer service or losing customers. Their business model is to sign customers up by beating their competitors prices but not paying anyone on claims. I signed up for a 3-year contract with Select Home Warranty. During our first claim, we had issues with our Air Conditioning motherboard. Overall, it wasn't a great experience as they covered almost nothing from the repairs. In our second claim, we had issues with our dryer. The technician they dispatched temporarily solved the problem. A month later, we had another issue with the unit.

    Turns out a full replacement was needed due to a wire being grounded. Three important things here: 1) Select Home Warranty valued my unit at $200 citing it was 12-years old which was incorrect. The unit was 4-years old. They ignored that fact and said it was no longer about the age of the unit. 2) They cite section 8 of their contracts to deny payment. Section 8 outlines that it's based on SHW's opinion, not fact. They use this gray area to avoid paying customers. 3) After contacting the manufacturer of my dryer, they said grounded wires are extremely rare and typically happen after someone has made repairs. SHW took zero accountability for this. The customer service agents were rude and dismissive after I politely escalated my issue. I work in sales and understand that rude, combative behavior will not get you a result. Ultimately, they are not here for customers. They are here to churn and burn.

I am furious at being ripped off this way. You pay the technician directly through CashApp, so there's no real receipt, no accountability. The guy didn't even return to do a proper diagnosis after his first theory turned out to be wrong, he just waited two weeks and finally told Select we have the type of system they don't cover.

    This company is horrible at best. A few months ago, I still had my old home warranty, which I got with the house. The company was good but I knew that I wanted to research my own companies. Well, I called Select Warranty, and I went over some quotes and told Select Warranty that I would get back to them later. The salesperson insisted that I buy Select home, and he gave me two months extra and said that I have 11000 dollars in coverage a year on claims. Also, that salesman said that I would only have to pay 75 dollars for each occurrence. I would not have to pay for materials or labor. And get this: the salesman charged me half the price to buy a Select home warranty, which was 520 instead of 1000 dollars. I bought the policy and waited to have my old policy expire before I started using the Select Warranty policy.

    Recently, I had a leaky pipe in my kitchen. The plumber came out very fast and charged me 75 dollars and he said that Select Warranty would get back to me the next day. I did not hear from Select Warranty, so I called the plumber, and he informed me that the company made a decision and said that Select Warranty would pay for the materials and that the customer would have to pay the plumber's labor costs to do the job. So, I called Select Warranty customer service, and they said, after telling some of my story above, that in some cases, we can waive the labor. My response was that this was not what I had thought about when I was hoodwinked by the salesperson, and the company manager said that they would pay for half the labor.

    I had the policy and paid the 75 dollars to the plumber already, and they suggested that since I was given other information when I bought the policy, I wanted my money back and canceled the policy. Select Warranty agreed to give me my money back, not to mention that I did not use their warranty claim, and they would give me back 391 dollars out of the 519 dollars that I paid plus the 75 dollars I paid the plumber for coming out. I had to agree to take the loss and now wait a month for them to send me a check instead of paying for the whole year on my card.

    Do not do business with Select Warranty and pay by the month instead of the year. You want a warranty company that takes the service charge, not the provider of service, and a company that calls you back instead of the plumber, in my case. Plus, I lost over two hundred dollars to get my money back, which I did not get back as I had promised. This company is about as good as its last positive review. This is a 69-year-old senior getting social security that they are taking their money from without doing anything.
