    Select home warranty company representative Issac ** was very helpful and knowledgeable about the home warranty policy and offered me a great deal with extra months and roof protection. Customer service was outstanding. Issac made himself available to help me and my finance with our home warranty’s at the last minute and was very courteous and professional.

    It has been 43 days since my heating system broke down and we are living without heat in these coldest months of the year. I had filed the claim on November 25th, 2023. It took them 4 days just to find a technician and give me the appointment for December 14th. That’s after 3 weeks. No Tech wants to work with them. After their Tech looked at it I patiently waited for few days to get a response but they did not call me even once, so I started calling them to check the status every other day. All they gave me was an assurance every time. In the initial few calls, I was told that they were waiting for Tech’s report. They didn’t even let me talk to the Manager, rather they hung up. Then I called their Tech. guy, Gary to check and he said he turned in the report the same day he diagnosed. SHW, what was the reason for this lie? What did they want to hide? They were taking time to make excuses and how to run away from this.

    After 2 weeks, on December 28th I called them again and literally had to fight to know the status. I don’t know how many days or weeks they would take to call or send me an email if I didn’t call them 10 times already in the past 2 weeks. They refused to give me the Tech’s diagnosis report. They wouldn’t give me any specific on what happened to the furnace. I think their policy is just to make me tired of waiting and fix the unit on my own. After that email, I called them back right away and I was assured that the Manager would call me within 3 hours. I waited and waited, no call, nothing.

    Next day, on 30th I was ready to write my online review, the Manager, Raymond called me from a different number, call went to the voice mail. I called back immediately but another agent, Alex, assured me to solve the problem and there was no need to talk to the Manager. I have saved a copy of this audio conversation. I can post it if possible. I could not trust these people anymore, so I demanded this in writing. He sent me an e-mail in a few minutes. Part of his e-mail says this “We do apologize for this delay as our dispatch department is still working on your claim. Unfortunately, our technicians are backed up at the moment. In an effort to expedite your claim you do have the option of Securing your own Service Provider to come and diagnose the issue. When using your own Service Provider to service a claim, following the instructions below will ensure your claim is reimbursed properly.”

    He told me to find my own Tech. and send an estimate for authorization. Once I pay for the repair, they will reimburse me. I followed his direction and found my own technician. The next day I had my Tech send them the diagnosis report and estimate to repair/replacement. The estimate was around $6,000, maybe higher than they were expecting. Now they started playing the same game, waste time, make me wait, tired and frustrated. I had submitted all the documents they asked for including a copy of the email and phone conversation that assured me of fixing my unit. I was waiting for their authorization, but after 3 days of waiting I had to remind them again like before. I was put on hold for more than half an hour, saying that authorization is in the process.

    At the end, they refused to cover the issue. I was then transferred to the Claims department, kept me waiting for another 10 minutes, and the phone got disconnected. If it was not covered, why did they ask me to find a technician and send the report and estimate? I am sick and tired of calling these people. If I didn’t have policy with them, I would have fixed it within a week. They made us suffer in this cold for 43 days and counting. I will file a lawsuit. I would suggest anyone to stay away with these scammers.

    I changed my home warranty to Select because their rates were so much less. There’s a reason for that; it’s 'cause they don’t do anything. I’m pushing 70 and have dealt with hundreds of companies professionally and personally and this is the second worse company I’ve ever had the unfortunate experience of dealing with. It was 113 where I live. I had family visiting including 4 young children. The AC went out upstairs. I called and they said they would locate a company and get back to me. Time went by and they never called back. It was pushing 100 degrees inside my house. I finally talked to someone and they said if I found a local company they would reimburse me but the provider had to talk to them. So I found a local company and after talking to about 5 different people I got through to someone who talked to the provider.

    I was lucky someone was willing to wait around for this. The provider told them the information they needed. I mentioned that the AC in the basement where we all were had also stopped working and they said I had to start over with a separate claim. I told them I would not file anything on that. I just needed this approved so the provider could leave. They told me what to do to get reimbursed which I did. After 2 months I never received anything so I called back. I said I wanted to end my contract with them. The guy said a reimbursement was coming and pretty much refused to let me terminate my account.

    I waited another 2 months and called again. I literally spoke to 5 people. They said the reimbursement hadn’t been sent because I didn’t complete a form they emailed me. I NEVER received an email from them. I again said I wanted to end my account and they acted like I hadn’t said anything and continued to repeat the same script again. I had to get very forceful in telling them I was not hanging up until I got a confirmation number that my account was being terminated. They charged me all these different fees which resulted in getting very little back (I did a 5 year plan and had paid upfront with the understanding I could end the contract at any time). I’ll never do that again. It took several weeks for me to get my reimbursement.

    The problem with the company is they don’t have contracts with service providers in different areas which they don’t tell you upfront. I live in Utah and they did not have a contract or agreement with any AC companies in my area. They never told me that. Instead they acted like they were looking for someone. When I started looking I found someone right away and they were out within the hour because they understood how miserable and unsafe it was to be in a house with that temperature for myself and young children. I would never use this company. I actually find it unbelievable they get any positive reviews. I spoke to someone else who had select and they had the same experience. I would give them 0 stars if I could.

    Companies totally lie about their service. They are there to make money. They are not there to fix the parts even though their technician is a liar they will say they change the part. They did not change the parts, their one star company below one star, zero star company. Please do not buy this company plan, they tell one-year-old product we can pay only $200 and you have to pay out your pocket $800. Do not choose Select Home Warranty company. They are scammer.

    Filed a claim for our heater. The company would not submit my claim unless I gave them the make and model. I don’t have access to this info because it is in the attic. After eventually getting the info, they sent a service guy out that barely speaks English. Hard to explain all the issues we have with our heater due to language barrier. He determined what was wrong and ordered a part that would take a while to arrive given Thanksgiving was that week. We go out of the country and let Select Home Warranty know that we are unavailable during that time.

    While we are gone, the subcontractor is calling us the entire time we are gone. I couldn’t call them due to time zone and limited internet/phone reception. So, Select Home Warranty never communicated our unavailability to them. After we get home, the heater is fixed briefly, and stops working properly within a week. I waited until the holidays were over to place another claim by calling. I am on hold for 10 minutes until prompted to receive a callback. No one ever called. I go online to file a claim and I get an email the next day claiming that they need more info from me to file a claim.

    I call again, and their customer service reps have accents so thick that it’s extremely hard to understand them. I gave him all of my contact info, we lose connection, and he never called me back. I call again and have to give them all of the redundant contact info that they already have on file just to verify my account.

    Again, I speak with someone who has a thick accent, and it is extremely hard to understand. I’m so frustrated, that I ask to speak with a supervisor, and of course you have to repeat your contact info just to “verify” your account before you can speak with a representative. This company is very annoying to deal with. Every time you call, you waste so much time giving them your account number, full name, address, email, phone number, and have to answer a question about filing a claim online.

    They’re such idiots to focus on “verifying” information that they already have instead of getting to the root of the issue on why the customer is calling. So, less than 30 days of getting my heater fixed AGAIN, I still have to pay a service fee. By the way, after all that hassle of getting the make and model of my heater from the first service call, they never saved that information on file. Just absolutely horrible service!

I argued with the rep who was heartless (go back and listen to the recording of the call if you can and judge yourself) as we are in the early throws of the coldest months and getting colder and I have no heat, thus having to use space heaters which runs up my electric bill. She refused to set in motion a policy exception (whatever that may come to) that I asked for.

    I asked her if it were you and you worked for the same company chances are you would get the same service identical to my situation because she is an employee. That is an exception. But NO! After 15 minutes of the back and forth, I asked to speak to management who has some empathy. She told me she would have a management call. Well I expected the call right away after I told her they stand a good chance of losing me as a solid, no claims filed before, paid on-time client who pays their company bills, and her salary. She didn't seem phased. So... the next day a management team called I was not available.

But true to form, the claim was denied without a followup for clarification, meaning lost time where my HVAC isn't working for an additional TWO DAYS.

Good customer support would have had someone reach out via phone call to verify details before denying the claim so that the customer is not without heat or AC. This is the third such interaction.

    I signed up with SHW in April 2019. I paid for a five-year subscription and got a "discount" as a Senior. I have used the warranty VERY little as they always have a way of finding a loophole. However, the biggest problem is that when I signed up it was as a rebound from another Home Warranty company that left me high and dry (but very HOT) for 3 months in the summer here in middle Georgia. SHW promised that they had my chosen HV/AC company on their list of contractors in our area. I signed up on that assurance. Each time I had something with my HV/AC (maybe 3 in 3 years), they always sent a company that was not the one I requested, always telling me that my chosen company was not the "first to respond" to their call. The issues were never taken care of.

    Then, I found out from my chosen company that SHW never reached out to them, and that they were not on SHW's list, after all. SHW continued to tell me that the one I asked for was "not available" or "not the first to respond to their call." They lied through their teeth. I called them on that lie, and they just continued to repeat their script, as if that was going to take care of the problem. Their Customer Service reps are in India, and their English is spotty, at best.

    I recently had the blower motor on my unit, the upstairs portion (dual system) completely die. It was the cold part of the winter here, so freezing temps nightly, and really cold during the day. I contacted SHW immediately the first morning and told them I wanted my company to come out. They lied, again. They continued to tell me the same lie, no matter what I said. They tried to send out another company and then complained that I sent them away. I had already told SHW why that company was not acceptable, but they never canceled that company when they said they would. So, that company called me to schedule a time to come out, and I had to tell them not to.

    My company gave me an estimate and a diagnosis and did not charge me for that. I sent that in to SHW upon their request. They never got back to me for a couple of days, meanwhile we sat here freezing. I explained all of that, and finally a "Manager", a very rude man called me and was extremely unprofessional in his comments - just plain stupid and rude - did not listen to a word. I filed a complaint with the BBB, SHW responded with more lies and rudeness to that complaint. BBB supposedly sent me a notice to respond over Christmas. Because I was with family and not near or looking at my emails or computer, I did not respond. They closed the case and labeled it "ANSWERED." Yes, SHW answered my complaint with lies and a complete abrogation of the truth. It was $1,842 wasted on this home warranty. I have never gotten my money's worth.

    I made a claim for my oven that was partially working, the tech comes and ruins it completely and then they say he didn't know what he was doing so I can go find my own tech but then I should pay that person another call out fee. Then they say, "We can give you 1/10th of the cost of replacing the oven as a claim back after purchase" (which I am sure will never actually be reimbursed). Absolutely unbelievable.

    You will be treated exceedingly well when you purchase, with complementary add ons, extra months, etc. Then when you have to file a claim a resolution will be in the far future if it ever occurs. Select Home Warranty will take days or longer (currently at week 4) to address your claim, then hire the cheapest and absolute worst contractors who incorrectly 'repair' problems, then not ever properly repair the work, and finally charge you for the repairs when you cancel your warranty.

    The electrician they hired did not work up to code (put a non-GFCI breaker for the dishwasher/disposal) then would not come out to repair the work. Select Home Warranty then CHARGED ME $200 for the work when I cancelled the policy. We have had only 2 claims and each time I have been on hold for hours. I have spent over 30 hours in the last 4 weeks trying to get a breaker changed (this is a 10 minute job I can do myself, but we have breakers that cost more than the service fee). The whole thing is a racket and you'll end up having to fix the job yourself or call a more reputable repair company after. Save your money; I wish we had.

    I signed up for Select Home Warranty and my first claim for an stove/oven repair was quickly approved, dispatched and taken care of. I was very happy with my experience. I purchased the plan that includes hot water tanks and roof leaks. When I submitted claims for these, both were denied and I was referred to my policy. Both are covered under the policy but this company refused to cover my claim.

    If you use this company, when reporting issues just use the same verbiage they have in their policy to avoid rejection I guess. Don't purchase the roof protection as I spoke with a contractor and they said Select Home Warranty always denies these claims. Also file claims online as over the phone things are messed up by their off-shore team. They will listen for any keywords to deny your claim.

    I bought the warranty for 3 years. What a mistake. When my dishwasher went out, the part was not available for 2 months and then there needed to be 2 parts. Finally, they wanted to replace the dishwasher and only gave me a 175.00 towards a dishwasher that cost 569.00. This was unacceptable. I have been trying to cancel this since October. Every time you call, you are put on hold and transferred to one department to another. The representatives just want to keep you as a customer and canceling the policy is virtually an impossible process. I am starting again this week to cancel as I sit on hold again and I have been transferred twice already again. On no circumstances should you use Select Home Warranty.

    We paid $1,260 to obtain three years of warranty coverage with their "best policy" for our primary home and rental units.

    There were two claims placed:

    1. Ceiling Fan Claim - We placed a claim for a ceiling fan not working. It was explained to the representative that it was unknown if the issue was the ceiling fan going bad or if it was an electrical issue. We received an email from Select Home Warranty stating "After a Review of the specific issue with the Ceiling Fan, it appears that it cannot be repaired." I called back and the representative kept stating it was not cost-effective to send a technician to troubleshoot the issue and therefore would only issue us a $45 toward the replacement of the fan. We would need to buy and have our own technician install. We replaced the fan and it was in fact an electrical issue. If they would have sent a tech, this would be fixed.

    2. Garbage Disposal Claim - We placed a claim for a garbage disposal which was not working. We received an email from Select Home Warranty stating "After a Review of the specific issue with the Garbage Disposal, it appears that it cannot be repaired." I called, the representative stated it was not cost effective to send a technician to troubleshoot the issue and therefore would only issue us a $45 toward the replacement of the fan. We would need to buy and have our own technician install. We had another technician come (not from Select Home Warranty) and were able to fix the issue within 24 hours. The unit did not need to be replaced.

    Page 2 of our contract states we have a policy adjustment in which we may opt out after one year for a prorated refund which should be an amount of $795. They are claiming only $12.76 will be given back to us if we cancel the policy. They are not a reliable company and need a service to repair or replace the units covered. We want to change warranty providers to a reliable company however they are not allowing us to discontinue without a large penalty.

    I purchased my annual policy in July 2023. In November I filed a plumbing claim. A master plumber sent pix and diagnosis. Customer service continuously denied receiving the diagnostic materials until I was cc’d in the diagnostic email. At that point customer service advised me I was responsible for access, stating I would need to remove the back of my new cabinets - without guarantee they would cover the cost of the service. Customer service manager advised me of a $500 annual limit for plumbing. No such limit is in my contract. After insisting the manager prove to me the limitation was in my contract, SWH denied my claim saying the leak was outside. This process took about a month. Select Home Warranty has refused the master plumber’s diagnostics and fabricated one of their own to fraudulently deny my claim.

    I have a washer that needs repair. I file a claim, get an email saying that they are looking for a service tech. 2 days later, I get an email telling me that their service network is "Backed Up" and it would be 2-4 weeks before they could be available. I could find my own service provider, they allow a $100 initial amount to coordinate a diagnostic visit on my own. The repair shops I called said they would not dispatch a tech for that amount. I again asked SHW to coordinate a visit, 2 days later the same email, asking me to do the job I thought I was paying them to do...

    This cycle went on for almost 3 months, same result. When asking to cancel my Platinum plan on both properties, I was told to wait, they would find someone within 24 hours, a week later nothing. This went on for 3 weeks with different people telling me the same thing. I wonder if this tactic was done intentionally so that the pro-rated refund would be less... Ultimately I had to be very firm, and not allow that to make a 3rd false promise that I know was not going to provide a positive result. I was able to cancel both polices after a $75 cancellation fee for both. WHAT A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. Stay away...

Opened a case with Select and they tell me I have to have someone come in on my dime to confirm it. They said several times that lights aren't covered, but this isn't a light issue. Section 6.3.4. of the contract states wiring IS covered. With the cost of having someone come in to prove it isn't the light and then have Select charge me the $60 copay, it would have cost me about $300 for this warranted part. Ripoff.

    Select Home Warranty is a Scam Company. They do not cover anything! We purchased their Platinum Care which is supposed to be their best plan with most covered items. However they declined to cover the covered items. They get away with not covering by using fine print in their policy. They make you wait for 30 days to make the policy effective and then for another 30 days they don't cover any "major" repairs of the "covered items".

    In our case it was replacing a part of the refrigerator which costs about two hundred dollars but they refused to cover that. We bought home warranty to cover for any appliance issues that we may run into when moving to a house previously owned by someone else. However for 60 days nothing will be covered. And I believe they have fine print to not cover for some reason or the other after this period as well. They have 24/7 call center folks who repeat the same fine print from the policy and provide no other assistance. The amount we paid for the warranty is now down the drain. I can only hope that no one else go through this. Beware of this company and do not purchase home warranty from them. I would give them 0 stars if the system let me.

    I have had an absolute horrible experience with Select Home Warranty. I've been a long time customer of one of their competitors and switched to Select Home Warranty because they made promises of extra coverage for a lower cost. Unfortunately we had been experiencing problems with our dishwasher. It's a Bosch top of the line dishwasher purchased 2 years ago for over $1,000. It was having a draining error. We submitted a claim and they sent out a vendor to inspect the dishwasher. The vendor said there was problems with the pump and the parts needed are no longer manufactured. The vendor submitted to have the unit replaced.

    Here's where it gets frustrating. Select home warranty then sends me an email telling me that they're going to pay me only $150 for the unit and won't replace it! Obviously very upset, I called Select Home Warranty and they told me that my 2 year old 1k unit had depreciated in value to $150. That is absolutely incorrect and the representative was clearly reading from some kind of prompt because he just kept repeating the same thing over and over "I know you're upset because you want more but this is what we will offer". He couldn't tell me how they determined this outrageous depreciation. There is no way my dishwasher has depreciated $850 in 2 years. It is still a top of the line unit. The company has ignored me, paid me nothing and I'm absolutely frustrated. Select Home Warranty is a horrible company that has absolutely scammed me! Do yourself a favor and avoid getting scammed.

    1. Freezer gasket needed to be replaced. Submit a claim and am told it's not covered but they will cover up to $165. Got a gasket for $161 and installed it myself. Never saw a dime of their coverage.

    2. Our stove went on the fritz. They originally were offering $100 towards a replacement. Had to stay on the phone for half a day to talk to a supervisor who bumped that up to $300. They won't cover a full replacement of an appliance.

    3. Had a pipe leaking inside the house, submitted a claim. The contractor that works with them (a handyman) failed to show up the first 3 times they were scheduled. Tried to get Select Home Warranty to pick someone else, but they refused.

    4. Submitted another claim for plumbing and they picked the same handyman as above (who by the way, is over an hour from our house). Had to instruct the claims rep that they needed to go find a plumber in our area and not a handyman that was in a different state.

    They are extremely hard to work with. One of the contractors that came out explained that a lot of craftspeople, contractors, etc. refuse to work with Select because they don't pay the people that do the actual work. They are dishonest. They will lie right to your face. I'm pretty sure this is a corporate policy because when you talk to a claims rep you can tell they are reading a script.

Select Home Warranty refused to pay anything towards that bill because we didn't get authorization from them first.

    Select Home Warranty is nothing but a Scam Company in our opinion and we would not recommend them to insure a DOG HOUSE.

They did not provide a plumber - they supposedly looked for three days then said they couldn't find someone, we should. So we had to call around. No plumbers work with home warranties, so we have to pay and ask to be reimbursed. We got an estimate and submitted it for approval - Select never called back. Finally called to ask and they said it was only partially approved, despite having been asked explicitly about this before buying. So ultimately on our first attempt to use the warranty we had to find our own plumber, pay for it ourselves, still pay hundreds of dollars over the cost of the warranty...What was the purpose of this company?

The problem wasn't resolved during the first visit. It took SHW longer than the 48 hours promised to approve a return visit. A return visit in which the plumber did NOT show up or return my messages. Again I was promised 48 hours for SHW to find me a new plumber. When that didn't happen, I found one on my own to fix both issues. After submitting my paid invoice to SHW they sent $150 to me and the other $150 to the wrong plumber! The one who never came back.

    They refuse to acknowledge they made this error and send me the money. They refuse to acknowledge promises not kept (ie doing things within 48 hours) and they refused to give me any unused portion back on my policy when I tried to cancel.

    Started contract in June 2023 and as of November 2023, I filed 2 claims with them. 1st claim was for a gas water heater that went out in early August. Select sent a technician out to diagnose the unit and found a faulty gas control panel. Select offered $200 dollars cash and told us to replace it ourselves. I thought this was weird but ok, whatever. The wife and I replaced it immediately and received our $200 in about 30 days. Fast forward to end of October and to my second claim. We remodeled our kitchen 6 years ago and spent around $7k on a JennAir microwave/oven combo wall unit. The control board went out and now neither work.

    I submitted the claim stating this and instead of sending out a technician, I was insultingly offered $95 cash to replace the unit due to what they claim is "depreciated value" How can that be $95 after 6 years??!! I could see half of our $7k investment MAYBE, but $95...C'MON! I attempt to call them to explain that it is not just the microwave, provide them receipts from our contractor and they will not even entertain a higher offer or to even send out a technician to look at the control board.

    After 45 minutes on the phone requesting a complete cancellation of my policy 7 different times (they now kept trying to assure me that i have a great policy and to keep it active) and a refund of my $1260 they duped me into back in June, they offer me a prorated reimbursement of $775 to which I just said FINE. It was 100% worth the money lost to never have to deal with this abomination of a company again.

    I purchased plan for two home for two years. MISTAKE, most people that gave higher review rating because have not dealt with the service or claim yet. Wait until your first call. Look at all 1 star reviews. They make up words to deny your claim. Example my technician said 3 parts needs to be replaced. They wrote cracked burner in the furnace so they won't cover it. Everything is lie. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR SALE SCAM. They do everything possible to deny your claim even if they forge the documents. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. I asked for my money back, they have not contacted me at all. Read the reviews for people who put in a claim not the one who just bought a plan.

    I purchased a 6 year home warranty contract with Select Home Warranty 10/26/22 - 10/26/2028. One day, I had a leak from the roof. Since my contract included limited roof coverage, I filed a claim and paid the $65 service fee. A contractor was sent to my home to diagnose the issue, however he did not have a ladder to get on the roof or any way of inspecting the roof. Therefore he made a "best guess" as to what was causing the leak, and the claim was denied. I called Select Home Warranty requesting a refund of the service fee since the contractor was not able to examine the roof to appropriately diagnose the cause of the leak. They refused the refund the service fee and declined to re-evaluate the claim or send another contractor out for free.

    When I requested to cancel the warranty after the first year, they told me I would have to pay a pro-rated daily charge over the last year, a $75 cancellation fee, and the service charges for the year which equated to over $850. I was never informed about any of these cancellation charges when I purchased the warranty. This company is fraudulent and only cares about taking as much money as possible from customers. Save yourself and do not use.

    I bought the top of the line home warranty. We had the A/C unit fail. The tech reported that the compressor shorted out and overheated. The compressor failing caused the tube to rupture and allowed the freon to leak out. They are denying stating that the freon caused the problem. This is impossible. The Tech even sent in a supplemental stating that the failure was due to the compressor shorting out and overheating. They are trying to get out of paying the claim and standing on the fact there is a freon leak. This company is a deny first., So it looks like it's off to court we go.

    I purchased this policy like 2 months ago. There are some questions I ask because agreeing to something like, "Is there a charge to cancel" or "Is there a 12 month agreement? Can I cancel any time." Which a representative told me no to all this questions. I wanted to cancel this policy because they just sent me the agreement when my refrigerator and dryer started to have issues. When I did my claim they said that only certain parts are cover and that my refrigerator ice maker was not cover because it not part or my refrigerator warranty. That I have to pay $139 to add coverage to it and pay another $65 to check it and $65 for them to check my refrigerator.

    I'n not going to pay $269 for them to come and check what's wrong with my fridge. Is ridiculous. There is so many little thing on their contract that are not covered that does not give me a peace of mind like a warranty should. So I called to just cancel and go back to American home shield but that when they want to charge me the $75 to cancel which I was advised by their sale representative I was not going to get charged.

    I typically use American Home Shield, I should have never stopped!! Please stay away from Select!! They literally deny every single claim possible. I had an issue with my washer and they sent out a tech. The tech could not find the required part, and recommended a buyout. Select all of a sudden said they don't cover the issue identified by the tech. This company is literally a scam!!

    I called to have my WATER HEATER repaired and they refused explaining it is an upgrade to replace it. When I was being sold the warranty they said it was covered and was no issue. I was lied to and then paid to have a person come out to do the repair. I have asked for my warranty to be canceled. They charged me $75 to cancel a warranty they didn’t even pay a penny out on.

    I am really disappointed with this home warranty that I purchased. Do not waste your money for a company which doesn’t provide any services when you need it. Our garbage disposal is not working and we have been communicating with them since three days back, asking them to send someone to come and fix it. They only offered a small amount of money which is even not enough for any potential service required. We kept asking for someone they send to fix it but they just refused. We originally purchased home warranty for services, and we didn’t want to be involved in finding professional people to come and fix our issues. On the other side the money that they offer is very small and no plumber will be here to even look at this problem or give any advise! We are going to break our contract with this useless company!

    It's impossible to cancel the subscription unless you cancel your bank card attached to the account. I’ve been trying to cancel my subscription with this company for 3 MONTHS! And they continuously automatically debit my card. I’ve sent emails asking to cancel! Yesterday, I called customer service to dispute the charge and they tried to get MORE money from me. After hours of disputing, I looked at my bank today and saw another charge of 75$$ I did not authorize. So instead of refunding my account for the month of no service and to stop service, they charged me a service call charge!

    Back in June 2023, I placed a claim for my washing machine which Select Home Warranty sent me an email stating they could not find anyone in my area to service my issue immediately, and to find my own technician for immediate service then I’ll be reimbursed. I found someone, paid out of pocket, submitted the reimbursement, and never got reimbursed. I called customer service which claimed that I was supposed to get the tech authorized prior to service!!! What??? CS said that I should have read the bottom of the page that states getting the technician authorized by SHW before hiring them for reimbursement?!? What?! I didn’t see that that step!! Omg!! All these additional steps to do.. because they don’t want to pay you!

    This is a service that consumers pay to lessen the stress and hassle of dealing with broken items in the home, not do more to repair the damage. This company requires You to do Their job while charging You to do Their job. They take your money and give you the runaround for coverage. It’s a Scam! These people are crooks. Look at all of the one stars posted here from good Americans.

    I am a former 12 year customer of American Home Shield. When they raised the month from about 75 to around 95 without notice, I dropped them and went to Select Home Warranty. My research had put Select Home Warranty at the top. They have three levels of policies and I selected the middle one; I made sure it covered water leaks in plumbing.

    Three months later called them up with a request to get service for a slow leak somewhere near my upstairs shower water pipe that was leaking down to the basement. Two days later they sent me an email that said I am not covered for that and wanted to know if I would buy the next level up that would cover it. My policy says I am covered for "line leaks in the water...lines." (as copied from the policy below).

    On the phone they denied this and pushed very very hard for me to buy up on the policy. Their reasoning was that my leak was from a "fixture" and not from the pipe. They could obviousely never have been able to know that from their desk in Delhi India; I didn't even know for sure where the leaks was from. Their middle policy covers "line leaks in the water...lines." Their next up policy covers "...Plumbing fixtures: faucets filter, shower head, shower arm, electrical..." The leak was definitely NOT the shower head; It was in the wall. I spent about 30 minutes on the phone telling them to cancel the policy while they were hard-selling the buy-up.

    Select Home Warranty is by far one of the worst warranty companies I have had the displeasure to personally use. As an real estate I recommend several companies and vendor to my clients with confidence because I have used most of them and believe that the service they provide is best for their needs. Sadly, this company will not be one that I can recommend or send any referrals based on my one star rating! Every time I called about an issue they found a way not to cover the item or the vendor they sent never did the work well. Calls to them to complain or try to resolve the matters were never responded to or I just got tired of calling and not getting any resolution. I finally hired an electrician, replaced my dryer and replaced my AC. A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, MONEY AND SPACE! Poor service, poor communication and subpar vendors. It's a HARD no - never again for me!

Tried to contact technician for a week to get status without results, called Select customer service and received the part on order with the technician, who will check and let me know status. Today is the 16th of Oct and still have not heard form technician and select customer support providing the same status.

    I was told, in writing, that the service call fee would be $65 if I renewed and not $125. Only reason I renewed because that’s the normal rate of most warranty companies. I pay for the year and notice they didn’t change the rate. I send emails and make calls to them in April 2023 and May 2023 regarding same. (Including resending the email that they sent me stating the fee would be $65) I’m told we received proof and we’ll escalate this and get it changed. I check back a few months later. Still not changed. I’m again told same script which is, "Will escalate this and someone will call or email you back about it in 24 to 48 hours. Of course no one does. No one ever does.

    Fast forward to October 2023 when I finally have a claim. I noticed that is still has not been changed to $65. When I tell them about it they say, "You’ll have to pay the technician to $125 as that’s what it is listed as, but if you send us in the invoice for the $125 we will reimburse you." Of course I did that and no one has reimbursed me, emailed me or called me and every call or email I send the auto response is I will get a response in 24 hours. I never do. I have not been reimbursed. The amount has not been changed. I was fraudulently duped into resigning a contract with them. Service is horrible. They blatantly lied to you. One rep will say it’s billing department that has to assist them. Billing says it's not their department. You’ll overpay with this company and never get any service. Beware.

    If I could give a ZERO I would! I signed up. It all sounded great. I asked about turn around times for the claims. They said that it was quick. I have had an absolute horrible experience. With Select and the Repairman they sent out. Acted as if I was an inconvenience for him and he didn't even listen to what I said was wrong with the Fridge. He didn't note the error code in his report to Select, he didn't check the temp in the fridge either, nothing! He was rushed and rude. Only cared about how fast I would pay him for the service call.

    Two weeks after my fridge was having the cooling issue, I called Select because they said that it needed to be replaced and could not be fixed due to the parts that the technician is claiming are the issues cannot be ordered anymore due to being discontinued. The refrigerator is only three years old! The part he is saying needs fixed isn't the issue. I spoke with the manufacturer the same day and it is a sensor. And still could be ordered! So for a three year old fridge, they wanted to replace it and only reimburse me $300! Ridiculous.

    I said that the policy states I am allowed a second opinion at free of charge to me, she said yes but again I have to pay everything upfront, and wait for any reimbursement. I already had to pay the service fee of $75. So Instead, I am cancelling this plan that I have been paying $65 a month for when the part that was needed to repair this appliance was $60.99! BIG SCAM. STAY AWAY. Gave a hard time for me cancelling too!! Going to keep an eye on my account to ensure they don't keep charging me for this scam of a Warranty.

    First, people with a positive review have not filed a claim. Second, you are not informed that the coverage is severely limited and nowhere within the actual cost, third, you will be blocked from seeing the actual contract until after your review period has expired. I had 2 items that went down in the same week. I called to file claims because the online system would not work. After filing it was a week and no one came to my home or called to verify or schedule an appointment. I was left calling everyday and getting nowhere. They told me to call who I wanted them 'try' to get reimbursed. The dishwasher was the first issue addressed - I ended up going to Lowe's, picking up a new dishwasher, installing and delivering it myself. This is huge because I am disabled with very limited arm use and leg use. I crawled around in my floor, hooked up lines, and even diagnosed my 3 yr old dishwasher that quit.

    My original dishwasher shorted out at the motor and also burned a hole in the tub - hence it was irreparable. I purchased a replacement of the exact product I owned - nothing fancy or exceptional. Cost came to be $825 - they have offered $500 reimbursement. If they had sent a tech the dishwasher would still need replaced and a tech assessment charge included. I saved them hundreds of dollars they screwed me over. No one ever came nor was a claim completed on my hot tub - benefits I paid extra for. I asked for a full refund of the premium, they are still jacking me around claiming a prorated refund yet they were the ones who violated the contract. I am preparing to file in small claims court. Complaints can be found everywhere. BBB and state consumer protection will do nothing about them nor help their citizens.

    I've had back to back NEGATIVE experiences since being with Select home warranty. This last experience did it. I called for a leaky faucet and was fraudulently instructed to purchase an additional $249 plumbing n electrical policy to cover my problem. Later to find out I was lied to!! This company took my $249 and within a week told me my claim was not covered and I wouldn't get my money $249 back. The OUTSOURCED representative apologized for the incorrect guidance from the other OUTSOURCED representative, who I could barely understand. I then asked for a manager, JUDY, who did not make this customer whole. Instead, I was met with a company spiel of "look at the bright side," ** of we cover the inside! That BULL was, all the other items inside your home is covered.

    I asked to be terminated and refunded from this money grabbing company to learn I have until 4/2/25 until my policy is up. Judy informed me there was no money to be refunded??? A whole year and no money to be refunded so that I can move to a new BETTER warranty co?? This company never made an effort to refund my $, nor did they offer to fix my leak. PLEASE AVOID THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY!!! You can't understand them, nor do they do what they say they cover. I WASTED my money. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PATRONIZE SELECT HOME WARRANTY!

    This company sent out a technician to work on my HVAC unit March 2023, he said he had to order a part, he never came back so I called in again & they had the repair company call me back, they said the part was on back order, it is now October 2, 2023. Still no parts. I called back in several times but to no avail. My contract expires in a few days and I got several calls to renew & the last call offered $100 less than last year's price, I called in to resolve my HVAC, issue & to renew & the rep said he couldn’t do the price that I was quoted, he asked how much did they quote me & I said they just said $100 off of last year's price, he responded that he is not an idiot, he heard that but wanted to know the price, I told him they didn’t give a price, they just said $100 off of last year's price, he responded that if I raise my voice again he will terminate the call and just transfer me to claims.

    I responded, "** your warranty service," and hung up. He called me right back and said, "You are terminated immediately." Horrible customer service. Very bad company. Never did replace the part on my HVAC. I just built the house December 2020 so it wasn’t an aged unit. Very confused with this company.
