    Reviewed Aug. 23, 2024

    I signed us for Select Home Warranty in January 2024 for the most obvious reason, my appliances are aging. 10 days ago I filed a claim for my central aircon, the diagnosis was a bad condenser fan that needs to be replaced, the company requested 3 years maintenance records which I provided and I repeatedly get info that the records are not sufficient and the claim will only be processed for $150 where the cost for repair is $850. Today after multiple escalations I was asked to provide 2021 records since 2024 is not considered a full year. I sent that in email today and as with every communication it is 1-2 business days review which will result in no resolution until Monday. The company does not call you, you have to call repeatedly to find out status, essentially they do not want to payout a legitimate claim and is using every delay tactic in the book to tire you out so you give up.

    While researching plans, I discovered Select Home Warranty. They seemed highly rated and had a great price. The salesman told me that I could not see a sample contract until I actually purchased one. With his promises and assurances of coverage, I purchased three years paid in advance. As soon as I received the contract and read through the limitations and exclusion, I realized this was not the contract for me. The coverage for my type and age of appliances was vague and very limited. Entire systems of my house were excluded. I called the sales person and asked to terminate the policy. He stated that the exclusions and limitations did not apply to my type of policy, but stated that he could not actually state that in the policy. He said that he would seek permission to make some changes and send me a new policy.

    As soon as I received the new policy, I again determined it was not good for my property and requested termination. No response. I sent a message to their general email account and was replied to with a customer loyalty phone number to call. I had the pleasure of listening to a foreign call center read from a script that claimed that I did not understand my contract. Every time that I would ask to terminate my contract or speak to a supervisor, I was placed on hold for 10 minutes, only to have the same script reader return and read another script. This has gone on for a week of daily phone calls and emails, listening and reading generic script. Each person that I spoke with (5 so far) I told in no uncertain terms to terminate my contract without further discussion and issue a full refund as per the contract. While typing this review, I have finally received a email notification of a refund.

    Terrible experience with this company, they took 2 days to get the subcontractor to my malfunctioning AC unit, the sub then determined the problem, but needed approval from Select before he could fix it. That took another 2 days. Select then told the contractor that it is not covered because it is a “lack of maintenance” issue. The unit was tuned up less than 3 months ago and was functioning perfectly until it quit. I’ve had Select less than 1 month (23 days), I paid $400 upfront for coverage and when I tried to cancel my contract they would only refund $250 because they tacked on a cancellation fee of $75 and some other fee. This company is a rip off and I would recommend staying as far away from them as you can get.

    This company is not who they represent their selves to be. They are a scam. I purchased a warranty on my appliances in 2023 and needed repair on a refrigerator in Aug 2024. They lied to me and told me the repair person who came said my refrigerator was not worth fixing and offered me $225 dollars to buy a new refrigerator. Truth is that the part from the repairman was $300 so they didn't want to fix it. When sold the warranty in 2023 I was told by the sales person that "If we can't fix your appliance then we will replace it". When calling the customer service line you can't speak to a manager, the call center just keeps reading their script. You also cannot find any email addresses on the internet except for the one for customer service.

    My experience with Joey ** was great. He was very informative and helpful. He was wonderful about looking for discounts for me and advising me of ways that I could save money by purchasing a longer policy but not pushy about it when I said no. My documentation came quickly after I agreed to the policy and was clear and concise. As I have not passed the probationary period yet and have not used the service, I cannot advise on that aspect, only the interaction to get the policy started.

    DO NOT BUY! Horrible, horrible, horrible. Worst experience I've ever had with a home warranty company after 40 years of home ownership and home warranties. We bought this when we moved into our new home. What a disaster. Our AC compressor went out in 100-degree Louisiana heat. They gave us the run around for an entire 7 days before saying they would give us $150 toward replacing it. Is this a joke???? They claim it doesn't matter what condition your appliances are in, as they will replace them if they fail. We kept ours in good working order, but you have to show PROOF of 3 years service updates, which we don't have because we haven't owned the house that long. Too bad! We have spent hours talking with this company's employees for the past few days with people halfway around the world who don't speak English. Is this America?? Again, DO NOT BUY THIS.

    On Friday, July 26, 2024, I called Select Home Warranty to have someone come out and look at my washing machine since the barrel of the washer was bouncing all over the place when on spin cycle. My washer is a Samsung washer that is only 2½ years old and is worth over $1000,00. The rods that needed to be replaced cost $50.00 (where does that make sense???). I am employed by the Fla media and will bring this to the media’s attention.

    Our air conditioner was not cooling. Select Home Warranty sent a technician who said it was a Freon leak and no Freon in the air conditioner and wanted to sell us a new unit. It was 100 degrees in my house. We called another company for a second opinion. THERE WAS NO FREON leak and plenty of Freon in the unit. I notified SHW and was told they didn’t cover Freon leaks. Send them documentation from the other company's technician. I did this and they returned my email saying it must have been a Freon problem and they don’t cover that.

I bought the SHW (Select Home Warranty) Platinum Care till 2030 in the autumn 2023, because the SHW Sales promised me in emails last autumn that SHW will cover all the parts, labor (including AC) and I just need to pay the service call. The AC stopped working in the beginning of June and I made the claim, the SHW assigned technician to the diagnosis while I was also onsite, it was the Mechanical Failure of the compressor. While SHW changed the contents of the diagnosis report said that was the Electrical Failure and not covered by the warranty. Technician has already sent detailed report that is indicated mechanical failure to SHW, I’ve also forwarded the technician diagnosis report, and hold a 3 parties call (I/SHW/Technician). Both the technician and his report have confirmed that is the mechanical failure not an electrical failure.

    But SHW still insists that is the electrical failure and not in coverage, SHW can NOT provide the evidence that compressor has the electrical issues – short to the ground, they also refused to send electrical technician to the house. I have also paid 3rd party independent technician to diagnose the AC, he has also confirmed that is the mechanical problems of compressor, not any electrical issues. In the SHW Agreement 6.3.6, it’s said that “This Agreement covers the following air conditioning components: (i) Condenser Fan motors; (ii) compressors; (iii) condensers; and …” It has been two months and I’ve contacted SHW for more than 20 times by voices & emails, the Dallas weather is so hot and I have 88 year old mother.

    We reached out on several occasions to utilize the policy we paid for. There were repeated delays. The company was never able to provide a technician to go out to our property. We were required to provide our own, which we did. When we contacted them with the information that the professional we paid to go out to review the appliances and the furnace and the HVAC system, we were asked for photographs, which we provided multiple times. We were then told that no one could help us because suddenly the appliances that this company was happy to take our money to insure were no longer covered. Or we were offered the absolutely ridiculous quote of $150.00 to replace a dishwasher. Despite numerous requests to speak to a supervisor and the resolutions department, we were denied.

    We will not be renewing and we will be making sure that anyone we talk to knows how unhelpful and worthless this company is. They refuse to do anything. Then they had the utter gall to ask us if we wanted to renew with them. We took the time to research dishwashers since they would not send their own technician.

On 7/1/2024, Select sent out a technician from a local repair shop and determined the issue was covered under the warranty policy. The technician ordered the necessary parts. The parts were received on 7/10/2024 and installed on 7/18/2024. On 7/19/2024, Select was informed that the repairs did not correct the issue, the same error code was being displayed and the dishwasher was not draining. Select failed to send out a technician or return any calls until 7/29/2024. On 7/29/2024, a technician was scheduled to visit but did not show up. Select was again asked to send out a technician from a different company, as the one initially provided was not returning calls to us and Select.

    On 8/1/2024, Select was contacted again and asked to send a technician from a different company, as the initial company was still not responding to either party. The initial technician showed up that day and diagnosed a faulty control board. However, since Select had also transferred the job to a different repair shop, a new diagnosis was required.

    This company is impossible to contact on line other than to submit a claim. I submitted a claim concerning a 13-year-old refrigerator in July 2024. I got an answer from them telling me to call... and they supplied a number. I emailed back asking if we could just take care of it by email because I am an 82-year-old widow and don't do well on the phone. I got no response whatsoever on either the claim, or the request for email instead of phone. I did submit another claim several months ago for a microwave and was told it was "too old to fix" (13 years) and they would send me $90 toward a new one.

    You can't replace a built-in microwave for that amount, and I had to go buy one myself and then submit all sorts of receipts etc. in order to get the $90, which finally arrived several months later. NOW I am trying to cancel as I still have almost 6 months left on my contract and there is just NO WAY to get ahold of anybody other than calling and I can't do that. I am thoroughly disgusted with this company. I wish I had done better research before getting it. Please, if you are considering this company, read the reviews. Their ads that "things will be replaced or repaired" is bogus. Replacement is contingent on depreciation value and repair calls for a $75 "service fee". After studying my contract, I see that there is also a $75 "cancellation fee".

By the time I got it cancelled I was so upset I wanted to kick in the wall. Having a warranty is great, but if you find the right one. I am glad I only had to file 2 claims, the first they did send a check but I had to pay for my garbage disposal and pay to have it put in. You know the old adage, it is too old. I then had to buy a new air conditioner because they denied the claim to fix the compressor. I did not want them to replace my AC, just fix it. At the end of the day, I cannot afford to pay for both. So all I can say, is if you want to use this company, you will never be able to cancel it. They were relentless.

If you buy a home with older units like Central Air or Furnace and get their package they won't replace or repair anything if it goes out in 2 years down the road because their clause asks for 3 yrs of service checkups.

    Got the technician their finally they gave me the issue. I did two estimates for Select and sent them off...delay times another 5 days. I am doing SELECT'S JOB! The unit was the R12 type no longer and very expensive to replace ($3k) to totally to update system was $9k. SELECT paid neither estimate!!!! SELECT is a joke and a waste of 3 yrs of monthly payments! The issue is that their reps say on the phone "We don't need pictures, we don't even care how old your unit is...YOU'RE COVERED!" Bull!

What's the point of having a warranty service if they can't actually help? I paid $65 just to have a technician tell me it can't be fixed, and now they're only offering $175 to replace it. There's no way I can buy a new washer for $175. Thanks for nothing! I will be canceling my five-year contract and moving to another warranty company, one that can actually help.

    My experience with Select Home Warranty has been anywhere from exasperating to stressful to anger producing. I paid in advance for three years and stayed for seven months. I just canceled today and am to receive a refund for less than half of that payment - in 4-6 week!. They pride themselves on their low co-payments but, you need to read the fine print on their contract. They DO NOT pay for any installation costs! I missed this in the contract because it was buried in between many other things they don't pay for. Seems to be it should have been its own line item! As a result, it covers very little of the cost of a truly broken item.

    In addition, calling them to file claims is difficult. I believe their call center is offshore and, generally, for me it has been difficult to understand what their agents are saying. I also filed a claim prior to Memorial Day and it took me until July 5th to receive a check in the mail for the money I paid for the service. I have gone back to another company I have used before whose practices are more straightforward and above board The line from the contract reads: This policy covers mechanical breakdowns, it does not cover shelves, door handles, doors, hinges, knobs and buttons, door seals, freon, damage caused by freon leak, displays, latches, timers, leveling equipment, clogged drains or lines, cosmetic issues, gaskets, leak searches, lights, noise, refrigerants, valves, dispensers, installation, electrical failures, upgrades. Yes, I missed the "installation" part - which means they will not pay the labor costs of the contractor they send you.

    Select Home Warranty is a scam. First, they have wrong address on my account since the very start of this contract (April 2024). I've asked them to update this at least 5 times and all I get is, "We've escalated it and it should be changed in a few days." Second, you never see any details from the technician who comes out for the claim. This last claim I entered twice before I got a response from Select Home Warranty. The technician came, looked at the claim, took a few notes and left. I had to call him and Select Home Warranty 2 days later to find out the status of my claim. I finally get an email back stating my appliance can't be fixed and they will pay-out $125 after I submit a receipt for the replacement and installation.

    I called to dispute their findings. I escalated to the Claims department. Was told Raymond, claims department manager would call me back within three hours. He didn't, so I called back... This time I talked to Dennis also a claims depart manager. He further denied my claim, saying that there was no one above that I could escalate to and that his decision was final. We both reviewed the warranty document and there is clear evidence that his judgment is false, yet he say no. I'm not thru with this claim or Select Home Warranty.

We were told to find our own people but after finding out they too are terrible with paying claims we avoided that as we know our tech would never get paid. I’d also make note that they have had multiple lawsuits since 2020 and they have not paid any of their judgments.

Finally Select offered me 300.00 (cost of the part). They would not reimburse me the deductible nor make any other concession. Considering I was without an oven for over a month I was not impressed with their customer service.

    They would not allow me to speak with a manager and it was apparent that they were based off shore. Communication was a challenge.

Come to find out they pretty much tell me I don’t have coverage. So I argued about it and paid the thinking it was handled about 145.00. So they did send a technician, paid my deductible plus another 90 bucks. Technician arrives to inspect. Says he has to order the part. Comes back a week later once an Amazon box is delivered. He is surprised they don’t send an entire kit as he quested moves. Forward anyway and says he fixed it. 2 months later same issue.

    Now I am back to square one where every time I call they think I don’t have ice maker coverage and the technician hasn’t been assigned because of it. I make a Stink then suddenly he is able to do make an appointment. Fast forward again. He has to order a part but now wants to charged me another deductible. Wait the warranty company didn’t send the correct package you installed and now I have to pay again? Long story short he tries to work a deal with me for labor. All this nonsense and I still don’t have an ice maker. I just want my money back and wish I never found this company. As an agent I know how this works. But this is the ultimate worst.

    The warranty I purchased was mis-represented to us by the sales person. It was sold to us that if a major appliance was not able to be repaired, that it would be replace with a like kind unit. When we made our first claim, it was then explained to us, the appliance would be replaced at cost less its depreciation. So when it came to replace an AC unit, they were going to give us $600 towards a $7300 unit. Although it was told to us any large appliance would be replaced with like kind, the contract fine print outlines it differently. When I spoke to the sales rep (Greg T) he said he would check into it and get back to me. Five days later, 3 voice messages and 4 emails later, still no return call from Greg T. I did speak to another employee that immediately showed me the contract fine print. At the best, it was a sales rep who did not know his product. At its worse, it was blatant lying to close a sale.

Select denied the claim because the technician said that refrigerant was needed to complete the repair and refrigerant is not covered so the entire claim was denied.

    Technician explained it is impossible to replace a compressor without refrigerant. Refrigerant isn't even that expensive, $60. My point is, there is always a catch and Select makes it their mission to find reasons NOT to cover your claim. Arguing with customer service gets you nowhere, they'll transfer you to their "Customer Loyalty" department, swear they understand your frustration and that they're "fighting" for you. It gets you nowhere. Cancelled the policy after less than a month and they had the gal to take a "cancellation fee" of $75 as well.

    When signing up for this service, the consumer is misinformed about the costs that the consumer may incur due to a service call. They have poor customer service with representatives that read from a script and have no empathy and are not listening to your concerns. They charge a cancelation fee (which is not disclosed at sign up) and threaten to not reimburse your previously approved claim if you cancel. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

    These people are "the worst", our AC went out and we called three different times. The first time the guy told us that all their techs are busy and if we wanted to, we could get our own techs out to diagnose. We had to wait another day and got them out here. Simple capacitor and freon and we called the approval department and was on hold forever. The AC people were on the phone for an hour with this customer service and he said. "Let's go to the approval department." Was on hold for even longer and then he told us they were closed and there was no way to get an approval today. We had family and little kids so I paid them to fix it....$600. (Holiday service call weekend). Was told to call back first thing Monday morning for approval and reimbursement. They could not answer me on Monday. Tuesday same thing....

    Finally they were able to get approval and reimbursement of $105 for me. Needless to say, I am very unhappy and will not be back with this company and will tell my large Instagram following about this as well.

    I made several attempts to submit claims and each time they find a reason why my claims are not eligible for approval. They did make one when my AC went out, however, the part that the technician from Carlo Air in Phoenix, AZ installed caused the unit to start making a loud noise that can be heard down the street! They would not come back out to fix it and said I had to go through the warranty company again. I did that and the new technician said they installed it incorrectly. The warranty company said they would not fix it because the unit is working and they don't cover "loud noises" caused by the faulty part that was installed. That is absolutely ridiculous!! When I tried to cancel they would not refund my money because the amount to be refunded was less than my claim that they paid. So you get penalized for using the warranty. DO NOT use this company!!

I needed a repair for my AC unit but I was only offered $150 to cover the cost since I couldn’t provide any maintenance record since we just moved into the home. I wasn’t informed about that when I was getting the policy. I decided to cancel and I was charged for cancellation fee and I also wasn’t informed about that. I was just told that you have 30days if you change your mind you get your money back then after that it is month-to-month and you can cancel any time. But never did he mention that there’s a cancellation fee. All they care is for you to sign up and you stay past 30 days and then you pay them again.

    Do not use this company they claim to be a top home warranty company. I purchased the platinum policy for 3 years. I tried to open a claim for my dishwasher. I get an email the next day to call them. I tried calling multiple time over the next three days. All I got was hold music for ten minutes. Then I use the promt to have a call back that never happened. I finally get through four days later and they tell me they cannot find a technician. So they told me to find one in my own! I told them that I'm paying them to find a technician. I ask to talk to a supervisor. They were supposed to call never happened.

    The next day I call and I'm talking to a supervisor only after I asked to cancel my account. She tells me she is going to the next level to find a technician. She cones back on the line a few minutes later and tells me she cannot find a technician. So I tell her to cancel my account and she tells me there is a $75 cancelation fee. I told her that shouldn't be charging me due to the fact that they could not fulfill their part of the contract. Mind you I'm in the Knoxville area. Plenty of technicians in the area. So if that can't find a technician it must be do to the fact that no one wants to do business with them. I still had my CHOICE HOME WARRANTY until Aug. 8th. So I called them yesterday and they have a technician coming out today. ONE DAY AFTER OPENING MY CLAIM! SO THAT CONFIRMS TO ME NO ONE WANTS TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AND YOU SHOULD NOT EITHER!

    The reason why I even purchased their policy is because they were cheaper now I know why! The warranty I had when I bought my home a year ago came with Choice home warranty. I filed two claims with them and had ZERO problems. So now I'm renewing with them. CHOICE HOME WARRANTY is the way to go. You get what you pay for. So good riddance to Select Home Warranty.

    He went back to his office, he put in the claim and Select warranty denied my claim. The amount to fix my dishwasher was $295. The reason for them to deny my claim is my dishwasher was more than five years old, so they told me they would send me $175 towards having my dishwasher fixed, The cost of fixing my dishwasher was $295. So to save a hundred and twenty dollars, they denied my claim. Then I was told I have to get my dishwasher fixed first and then send them the receipt, and then they would mail me the $175 So after dealing with that issue, I decided to cancel my Home warranty policy with them.

    The lady put me on, hold and went and came up with $360 rebate. So after getting it fixed, I call him up. I said, hey, I need my $360 Cancellation rebate, +$175 For fixing my dishwasher they told me I no longer have a policy. Lol. Now this should be a warning to everyone that deals with Select home warranty. When I called, I was told that they weren't sending me a hundred and seventy five dollars per my contractual policy. He said, I canceled my policy. I said yes, 3 weeks after I made a claim and having it come to conclusion. Then I canceled my policy.

    I am stunned at how awful my experience has been. I have a had a home warranty for over 8 years. I had to switch to Select as the one I had been on was merging with another company and would have different coverage. My washer went out and I submitted a claim. The tech came out and said it was almost the same cost to buy a new one as to fix so he was going to say it needed to be replaced. My washer is a may tag 4.6 capacity. I love my washing machine. So I looked at my policy and it said it would give us the cost to replace what I have. I looked up my current model washing machine and $300.00 was the value listed. So with that in mind we went and purchased a new washer that was on sale. It was $699 so it would not be terrible with 300 of it being covered.

    I received an email shortly after getting my washer that Select would only be sending a check for $125.00. I was floored. Keep in mind my other warranty company had replaced my dryer straight out with a like dryer the year before at a value of $800.00. I called the company to see how they could justify saying $125.00 is what they were offering. I was already out 75. for the service call. The agent proceeded to tell me that I could buy the same washer for that amount. I told her I had already done the research and my same washer was going for $300.00. I also told her it was crazy to think any one is going to be able to buy a new washing machine for $125.00 or even repair it. She kept repeating the same thing word for word. I have never felt so taken advantage of.

    This company is crooked and is not interested in helping you. They just want to collect your monthly premium and leave you stuck when you have an actual problem. LandMark was great. They had perfect customer service and I had 0 complaints with them. If I could do an infomercial to keep this company from scamming anyone else I would! I make $40k a year, this is a huge hit and a terrible disappointment. I just got married and had told my husband how great home warranties are and unfortunately Select Home Warranty showed that actually they are a waste of your money. I don't recommend, in fact I say run the other way as fast as you can. Landmark was fabulous. I would recommend them any time and I am sorry I didn't stay with them through their merger.

I finally called, and again, I was instructed to get my own technician. I got a technician, who diagnosed a coil leak in one of the units and a failure of the compressor in the other unit. I called SHW and they asked me to submit the proposal and pictures that were provided by the technician. I received a rejection/denial within a few days. The denial was due to the Freon leak which they don’t cover. They also cleanings that only one of the units is covered, the one on the main floor. I explained to them that the main floor unit is the one that needs a new compressor.

    I made several calls speaking to different representatives each time. They were nice but not helpful. They wouldn’t let me speak to a supervisor or a technician.

After discussing the issue with Select Home, the technician told me that the warranty doesn’t cover some aspect of the work, but he didn’t do anything else. The worst part is that I didn’t get any support from the customer service.

    When I decided to cancel the service, they wanted to help, and took a cancellation fee of $75 when I discontinued their service.

    We got a contract with Select Home Warranty for 7 years. But after 1st year things got out of control. We had a Heater problem, we paid our $65 deductible and we had to pay the parts, $700. Another incident, we told them our plumbing is backing out in the house, we need somebody urgent. We waited 7 days for someone to show up, but by then we fix it ourselves. We had AC problem, they said that they only cover one AC unit. Another incident, we had our ceiling damage and we ask for a plumber urgent, they said that they are very busy, to go on our own and then send them the claim. I sent pictures, the invoice and at the end they said they didn't authorized it. I wouldn't recommend dealing with them. All the calls go to India and they just send you from one area to another and ask for so much info and nothing gets resolved at the end.

    If I could give negative stars, I would. DO NOT RECOMMEND. They are a lobster trap - easy to get in, impossible to get out. Super nice reps to sign up, terrible reps and service if you ever have to file and follow-up on a claim. Signed up in May 2023. Hot water heater died in February 2024, and it took them more than 3 weeks to find a contractor to come look at it. The first contractor repeatedly did no-call-no-shows and would lose my case in their system.

    After the 3+ weeks, numerous calls to the first contractor, and numerous calls to SHW, I was finally re-assigned to a new contractor who came out that same day. The new contractor stated everyone hates working with SHW because they don't pay, they have a terrible system, and he only took the call because SHW begged them over several phone calls. Contractor diagnosed the issue, and SHW refused to cover the cost of repairs. So I came out of pocket for it (over $750). Cancelled my policy, the refund check was for less than what they told me. I called them 4 times, no resolution each time, got hung up on twice with no call backs. I'll never get the money they owe me, which really sucks because that money makes a big difference for my family. Incredibly unprofessional in all the interactions I've had with them. So incredibly frustrated, angry, and disappointed. PLEASE spend your hard-earned money elsewhere.

    This company is a total scam. Thousands of negative reviews should alert you to stay away. Check out Better Business Bureau (BBB) on them.. I have dealt with them several times and each time they scammed me. They find multiple ways to decline your claim. Once our refrigerator ice maker broke. They told me the warranty does not cover the ice maker. Charged me additional $120 to cover the repair. Another the oven in our GE microwave/oven needed a board replacement. They told me the oven is worth $150 now and not worth fixing. So, they gave me $150 and said do whatever you like. I paid out of pocket to fix the oven. A two months later the microwave broke and it was not covered because they had already paid $150 for the price of the unit.

    Our indoor AC Split unit suddenly stopped working. They sent a technician to diagnose, which incorrectly diagnosed the problem being the board (their technicians are third rate). I had to spend more money to have a knowledgeable technician who found the problem. Turns out the rats chewed the communication cables and the boards were fine. The unit is 3 years old and still under warranty. So, SHW immediately denied the claim because the unit is under warranty still. They did not pay a dime for anything. They do not even have the courtesy of following through with a claim. Especially when claim is denied. So, you just sit there hoping SHW will contact you. We were out of AC for 1 0 days waiting for the technician to come back.

    Finally, on a hunch, I called SHW and that is when I found out claim was denied. I called them to cancel the plan (I made the mistake and bought 6-year plan). Paid almost $2100 hard-earned money for the contract. They told me I have used 3 years of the plan and charged me $1.65 (undiscounted amount) per day PLUS they added $600 for total repairs paid in 3 years. Do the math! I would end up paying them $400 to cancel the policy. So, the agent told me to just let the contract expire. So pathetic!

    Bottom line, SHW looks for ways to get out of paying the claim. They are not there to help consumer and offer a viable service/product. When you call them, you talk to someone in New Delhi, India with the sounds of chicken and roosters in the background and the rep immediately looks to find ways to decline your claim.

    Here is how I figured this company. They are hoping your products are under warranty so they can flat out deny the claim. OR the appliances are out of warranty and they give you a low-ball estimate of your appliances and pay you far less than your appliance is worth to get out of having a technician fixing it.. The sad part is they show up with 9.8/10 on Google search compare to others. Can imagine how pathetic the others are if SHW is number one or two. I can only imagine how fake that rating is based on ways and how much they are paying to purchase those high ratings just to find more fools to purchase contracts with them. PLEASE do not waste your money with them. Buy additional coverage for $150-$200annually from your Home Owners Insurance, if you have one. It is far better insurance. Good luck to you with SHW because you will need it.

    Let's say what they tell you on phone while selling you the policy is way different on what you get when you submit a claim. Will give you couple of examples. 1) When I signed up for their policy, their rep mentioned that they will fix it (NO QUESTIONS Asked) as long as it is after the "waiting period" of 30 days and you pay the service call (Total Lies). 2) I had their policy for almost a year with no claims. Air condition blowing warm air, called and scheduled appointment, technician shows up hours late (after I made multiple calls to see where he is at). 3) He diagnosed the air condition and mention need Freon and capacitor but he can't replace it since need SHW approvals and he will submit report today for approvals. 4) Took me approx. 7-10 calls and week in delay getting the report. And here comes the fun.

    5) They need service receipts, records and you first child, your kidney along with many others.... They waiting for you to say they you do not have any of their requests so that they can deny your claim. They offer you $150.00 that you can not collect but will go against repair bill. Didn't mentioned they will not provide repair themselves, I (consumer) have to hire someone to fix the unit, pay them, then submit bill (hoping that i get $150.00) back in 6-12 wks and they tell you to go read their policy documents. How a bout listening to the call with your rep that sold the policy. 6) The $150.00 applies to roof, siding...etc.

    7) You will have to pay for Freon in adding to the service call, they do not deduct the service fee from Freon cost. 8) If you have name brand appliance, they wanted you to pay the service fee at the time of call, regardless when you are getting the appliance fix, if you discuss with them, they will cancel your appointments and you have to start over.

    Select Home Warranty is great until you put your first claim and then you find out their sevice is a joke, actually there is no service, you almost have to pay for all the repair cost on top of a flat claim fee. I found this out after paying them for 18 months with not even one service claim and when after 18 months, I put my first claim (and it was for a very simple and cheap repair) they told me they just pay for parts (that was less than $ 10 and I have to pay for labor cost $175).

    Select Home Warranty operates on the model of taking your money while providing as little value as possible. They will attempt to get out of every repair, they will use cheap, unresponsive contractors, their staff is trained to try and keep you locked into your policy, and they will back it all up with offshore support. I've had a policy for 4+ years and I can't think of any claims that either weren't flat-out denied or weren't a complete struggle.

    Updated review: July 12, 2024

    I was able to resolve this with the company and they paid out the $500 listed in the policy document.

    Original Review: July 3, 2024

    I bought a couple years of Select Home Warranty with hopes it would help me with any upcoming issues that could arise with my condo. First, after I bought the policy I had to spend a large amount of time just getting the contracts from SHW - they would not send me the documents over the phone or email. I eventually got access to the online portal to get the policy documents. In the policy, it says it will pay certain amounts for broken plumbing, HVAC, appliances, etc. A couple weeks ago, my hot water heater failed. By the details of the policy, SHW should pay at least $500 for replacement. They sent out a technician, costing $65, and said I needed a new one. I then spent over a week tracking the company down to process the repair, all while my tenant had no hot water. After a week, SHW came back saying they would pay $200 for a new hot water heater, which costs $2500.

    It turns out there is a line in the policy saying that they can pay less than the price they list if it is more than the "depreciated value" of the appliance. Of course, they determine what the value of your appliance is. In the end, I am receiving a net of $135 for a hot water heater that costs 20 times that much, and they delayed the installation of a new hot water heater by over a week. Do not purchase a warranty from this company, they will find loopholes to not pay out money promised in the contracts and only delay your repair projects. It is a deceptive business practice and you will not get paid what you are promised.

    Select Home Warranty either cannot get a technician out to you or denies the claim. I have had the plan for several years (paid in full; which was a mistake). During the past few years, I have had five claims, which resulted in two technician no shows, two denials, and one resolution where I had to pay more than my contracted service fee for the repair. Customer Service staff is very polite and apologetic; however, they do not resolve the issues. They “will try to call the technician” when they do not show up for an appointment but usually, “cannot reach them.” Not surprising, I couldn’t either. You are then told they will get another technician; which doesn’t happen.

    You are left waiting until you finally receive an email stating, your claim is still open and will be closed if Select do not hear from you to discuss the claim within five to seven days. Once you call, the process starts all over again. Then, at no fault of your own, the claim is closed and you still have not seen or heard from a technician or customer service. When you request to speak with management, you're told the manager will call within an hour, that doesn’t happen either. A big loss for what is supposed to give you security.

Then I had a dishwasher claim and the tech explained the issue so Select has stated it will not pay for labor. Only parts. Now I have claim for my dishwasher and it has been 2 weeks and no has called me about anyone coming out to check it. I have read their contract and nowhere does it state labor is or not covered. The AC unit I can’t find anywhere in contract that the expansion valve is or not covered. I have called numerous times and was promised things like the labor would be covered for the washer.

And be ready to wait 3-5 days for an HVAC Tech to come out if it fails in the summer. And you better have 3 years of "annual inspections" or you will get little to no reimbursement.

    I paid over $2000 for a home warranty with Select Home Warranty. My washer broke, they sent a tech out who tried to repair it. He came out several times and was not able to repair it due to parts no longer available. Select told me there was nothing they could do because the washer was too old and parts are no longer available. They said there was no value to it so I had to buy a new washing machine after 3 weeks of arguing with them about it. Then a year later my hvac broke and they said they would not replace it because it was a Freon issue and they don’t cover that. The motor also burned up and I have to pay out of pocket almost $7000 for a new hvac. This warranty is a joke and a waste of money.

    We purchased what we thought was an excellent home warranty for 5 years due to the great discount for multiple years. ($1655 for 5 yr). We had a claim for our refrigerator and we were told, "We will not replace it but give you $250 for a new one during the 2nd year of the warranty," we refused and bought a new refrigerator. The 3rd year this year our septic tank pump went out. After 48hrs Select sent a Contractor (nice guy but not a plumber) who is a licensed contractor for roofing not plumbing to come and take pictures of the septic pump. He came with his cellphone only with no tools or experience to remove the lid and pipes. He could not take the picture because he didn’t know how to remove the pipes to get to the pump.

    Select did not contact us but we contacted them after 72hrs (the allotted time for a response from Select) just to be told that they are waiting for the pictures from the Contractor (Roofer) and he will come back to take pictures. We waited another 5 days and called Select about the matter in which they stated they are sending the vetted Contractor (Roofer) out again. We strongly refused and asked for a plumber to be sent out. Select strayed they are searching for a licensed technician. We called again the next day and Select is still searching for a licensed technician. We had a lengthy conversation and concluded we would cancel the contract since we were told that we would have to endure the same 5 day process for a new Contractor to come out. We were told by Select all the fees for the contract and there of course would be no refund of anything. The Customer Service Department went through all these discounts and so on to tell us they were the best warranty company in the business.

    We did not have this kind of frustration and agony with American Home Shield Warranty Service who we used for many years. We work hard for our way of life and only want to be treated with respect and others to honor their contracts without these hidden or undisclosed terms, fees, processes. We are tired of the overpriced good and services with poor customer service and the quality rendered that is outsourced to people who can’t speak the English language clearly to understand what is being communicated to them and we as customers can’t understand what they are trying to communicate to us. We counted this contract as a loss and will not continue to pour money into these companies anymore. We are searching out the mom and pop businesses who still care about people and integrity.

    I miss the days where companies cared about the integrity of the product, services and customer experience. I don’t mind paying for quality but I do mind companies who mislead customers in the terms, products and services offered pretending to offer something worthwhile while its total worth is worthless.

What I have learned for many their experience is select when something broke down they provided excuses to not fix the appliance.

If you want to wait forever to get your A/C fixed in the summer, furnace in the winter etc., then maybe they might work for t you.

Being one of the largest Home warranty company SELECT is not able to get the part replacement and not able to provide timely updates.

    Very disappointed and frustrated based on the current status and hoping that Sr leadership and Sales teams would be able to review this case on priority so as to expedite the resolution. Almost every other day we need to follow up and check the status of Claim since there is no update based on multiple follow up calls. I would not recommend this to other customers and also I would need to look for alternate options since it fails to deliver the expectations of a customer.

    Thanks for your vote!
