    My A/C Unit went out. Called SELECT HOME WARRANTY to get it repaired and they sent out a repairman who was unable to repair my unit because of the SMALL PRINT rule in the policy prohibited the repair. They only covered the tech coming out to diagnose the problem. I immediately cancelled the policy. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE!

    If I could give them 0 stars I would. I filed a claim for a complete plumbing stoppage and it took three days for a plumber to come to my house. He tried to fix it and needed approval to snake the main line. The person he talked to would not approve it and said they would send another plumber. I called and complained and the customer service rep called me a liar. In the end, that plumber left and I had to hire another company to fix it. I paid out of pocket and then called to have my policy cancelled. I have spent a good three hours on the phone and talked with five different people who keep trying to sell me on keeping the policy. I am still waiting to get my refund. I would not recommend anyone use this company. There are plenty of other home warranty companies that are actually worth the money.

    I purchased a home warranty from Select Home Warranty after reading good reviews and being told by the salesperson that the warranty would cover items such as a broken water heater, air conditioner and plumbing. Unfortunately, when my hot water heater broke and flooded the garage, Select Home Warranty's response was that they don't cover hot water heater leaks. I advised them that the issue was not the leak, but the fact that the hot water heater broke. They denied my claim and I was forced to spend over $1,400 purchasing a new hot water heater and having it installed. This is more than frustrating and infuriating. They are happy to take your money for the warranty, but then include fine print you don't see until the purchase is finalized which allows them to deny claims. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

    I had a power issue with the power to my AC thermostat, and they sent out to tech to diagnose it. The tech spent no time a total of 5 minutes looking at the system and came to the conclusion that I needed a new system. He never turned in the report and was arrested for a DUI after leaving my house. The owner of the company came over two weeks later and spent the entire time apologizing and said that my system was leaking (which Freon leaks are not covered by SHW).

    That didn't explain why I didn't have power going to the thermostat. I contacted another company who determined that I had issues with my contactor, board, relay, and transformer, but there was no leaking at all. I contacted SHW to tell them about my findings. They refused to accept the diagnosis of the second tech and said they trusted their tech. I asked for them to send a different company to review the case and they refused. Basically, they didn't want to pay for larger repairs that are covered under their policy, so they denied my claim based on a "leaking system", which never leaked.

    I had to go to Court to get my pool pump failure resolved. I was given a judgment in the amount of $3198.19 based on Select Home Warranty not adhering to their very own policy provisions. Even now they refuse to pay the Court award. Select Home Warranty is, in my opinion and rightfully so, a company that does not follow their own policy provisions and will make you have to go to Court to adjudicate their refusal to pay and then refuse to pay the award.

    I purchased this warranty 1 year ago. I have had 2 claims and they denied both claims. Both claims have been on AC units. To call and talk to customer service is a painful experience as you can not understand the people talking to you from a different country. I have waited 2 weeks for an answer and calling and calling with no reply other than to say it is in the portal, which I asked to show me and they could not. I said show me the email and they could not. Please resend the email. "look in your spam" they said. They seem to have my email that comes through when they advertise. Bottom line is that this company is poor at communicating and slow! They also don't really warranty anything. Just deny claims...-10 out of 10 so frustrating. Not sure how they are in business.

    I purchased Select Home Warranty which includes A/C coverage. When our A/C was not working around end of June, 2023, I immediately submitted a request to check and repair. After 2 days, they said they can't find a A/C technician in San Jose (Bay Area) and told me to find a tech on my own. So, I waited for weeks so that a technician to be available and kept calling & submitting repair requests more than 5 times over months. SHW has never assigned a tech to check what's wrong with the A/C. Several months have passed and the weather has cooled down. There are plenty of A/C technicians available in the area, but SHW has not sent any technician yet which is a clear and systematic VIOLATION of the agreement by SHW.

    It appears that SHW dodges any repair which it deems can be expensive, but when comes to insuring they make big promises and take premiums claiming coverage of all these appliances. A systematic FRAUD that needs to be brought to justice. SHW is the worst home insurance company I have ever experienced! I would NOT recommend SHW to anyone!

    Select Home Warranty is a worthless company, do not waste your money for Home Warranty. I have paid a diagnosis fee to Select Home Warranty for a broken AC. They are neither fixing the AC nor giving the technician diagnosis report. I had to call another technician and paid twice for diagnosis from my pocket. Please be careful with this company.

    I paid for Select Home Warranty their platinum plan. My washing machine broke. I called to file a claim, but the service person spoke broken English and there was so much background noise I had to repeat everything. You have to verify it’s you every call. You need policy number, claim number, your name, your address, your email and your phone number. I stated my problem. Was on the phone 30 minutes, was ensured everything was good and I’d be contacted by a service provider the next day. I was contacted by a plumbing company not a appliance repair person, so I had to cancel them and call back in to Select Home Warranty.

    I called back, went through the whole identification process even though I gave the claim number and policy number. Had to explain the whole thing over again. Told them it was a washing machine needed repair not a drain as they had listed. Was ensured again after 35 mins on the phone they would send the claim to the right provider this time. Next day I’m contacted by another plumbing company and now I am beyond angry. So a third day a third call in and I’m told they have no technicians in my area and to contact my own service tech to come out. I was livid, here I am paying them 67.00 a month to provide a service that they assured me was covered in the zip code I lived in, and they are telling me to find me own tech. I told them that’s their job I’m paying for and to find someone.

    The Select Home Warranty person assured me they would and that I’d be contacted the next day. Day 4 I am contacted by Select Home Warranty and told they had no one, and to find my own service tech, have him come to my home, pay him out of pocket and for him to find the problem with my washing machine. Then I was to call Select Home Warranty and have the tech tell them the problem with my washing machine, and they would take 1 to 2 business days to decide if they would cover the repairs.

    So I was supposed to call my own tech out and pay his house call fee plus labor fee to find my problem with my washing machine, then have him call them and tell them what my machine needed, and then to leave and come back on a second house call, if they approved the repairs. I was beyond angry and when you ask for a supervisor you are told that it will be the next day before they contact you back because they are to busy. Please avoid this service. Go somewhere else, it is beyond frustrating that these people have such a high rating. I’ve lost 134.00 in contract fees and still no repair. I am to pay a service tech out-of-pocket house call and labor fees and then they will decide if they will cover it, why am I wasting money on these people.

    I cancelled my contract and I hope you take heed reading this, the person you call speaks broken English and they are in a large call center with so many voices behind them talking. You have to go through a 15 min identification process and then you are left so frustrated. Please don’t waste your money please. I did, read this so you don’t have to lose time, and money on someone that treats you like a number not a person.

    This company has collected over $50 a month from me for over a year. I went to file a claim when my washer had an issue. I reviewed the policy and made sure it was covered. They are telling me I need to find my own repairman AND get the person to submit an invoice prior to any work being done. They are telling me they will not pay more than $100 without this and that I need to pay the $75 service fee meaning I might get $25 back. I have tried calling but only get people who do not speak English. No company will even come out for an estimate for less than $100 and no one is going to do that for free, then return after "approval." This means I have had no washer for weeks and there is no end in sight. I have asked for a refund of my premiums since they have no repairman. No response but tell me to call back. I am just paying to have it repaired and continuing to try to get my premiums refunded. Too late for me but maybe I can help someone else.

    This is a terrible company. After 2 weeks of no response we were finally told we were "authorized" to find our own technician, which took another week. The repair was going to be $500 and we were only approved for $165, which is not what we were told or their contract showed for coverage amounts when purchased. The sales people speak regular English, but the entire operations group has a huge language barrier making working through the issue very difficult. It took several calls to understand our dishwasher wasn't nearly covered. Stay away and go with American Home Shield who we had prior, but switched to save a few bucks. Not worth it.

    I decided to go with Select Home Warranty because they were listed as a top ten insurance company. Boy was that wrong! I had a water leak in my garage and called to make a claim. I was concerned because the representative began offering me a supplemental policy. When I asked if leaks were covered in my policy, she said they were. She was just required to read the prompt. Two days later I got an email stating leaks in the garage are not covered. I’ve been paying for a warranty policy and they had no issue with taking my money but as soon as I needed to use the policy, nothing is covered. Don’t waste your money because this company is only out to take your money without providing coverage.

The technician told me that the part was wrong and affected my other burner, that they will order the part “again”. After 2 weeks I called them and they told me that select home warranty did not approve the work.

    I called select home warranty and I told them that and the MANAGER told that the company make the mistake. "Here is the phone number deal with them." The MAJESTIK refused to talk to me because in their contract Select home warranty is their customer and select home warranty manager told that he is sorry but he cannot do nothing and he told just keep trying. When I ask him about the part on the contract that they said if they cannot fix the appliance he told me that he doesn’t know anything about. Please DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THEM.

    Select Home Warranty has to be the worst scam company ever. They mislead when you call to sign up and promise coverage they do not follow through on. The 30 day refund period is because they send you the contract after you signed up and don't expect you to read the fine print. I got stuck with having to pay $127.50 for installation out of my pocket and a $75 cancelation fee after I told them they are not authorized to charge my account. They are argumentative, rude and unprofessional. When you try to speak with a manager, I was told there wasn't one and I had to talk to the representative.

    Select has yet to find us a repairman, we have had to find one every time. Every claim that they have approved has been for the minimum amount they are willing to reimburse which is far below the cost of repair. They state that the unit is old and they will give you a little bit of money that doesn't cover even a fraction of the cost. A warranty company should replace the unit, the age of the unit shouldn't matter.

    I bought a 5½ -year policy from Select Home Warranty (“SHW”) in Nov 2022 for $2500. The following July my clothes dryer stopped working; Filed a claim online on 7/23; rec'd email & text messages on 7/24 that a tech would come 7/26 between 8am & noon. On 7/26: No show, no call. Rec'd email/text msgs on 7/27 that the tech would come 7/27 between 8am & noon. Again no show, no call. On 7/28 a tech arrived, diagnosed the problem & said he'd draft a report & send it to SHW, who would order parts & have them sent to me, then I should call the tech to come back to do the repair.

    On 8/4 we called SHW to check on the claim; were told the parts had not been ordered yet. We req'd they be ordered immediately & shipped overnight; rep said he'd see what he could do. When we still hadn't received the parts, we called SHW on 8/15. We were told they rec'd the report over 2 weeks ago: the dryer could not be fixed & they were waiting on a determination from their Resolution Dept. I req'd that SHW email me a copy of the report; they told me I needed to get it from the tech. Left several messages for the tech but have not rec'd any reply.

    On 8/16 (today) I rec'd an email saying they had approved a $185 reimbursement (my dryer is 5 yrs old & cost nearly $700 on sale!). Even if I accepted this low offer, they expect me to repair or replace the unit myself, send SHW the “paid invoice”, and then wait to receive a “Reimbursement Form” to sign/return before they'd send a check.

    So I've been without a clothes dryer for nearly a month & it's still broken. I emailed SHW to cancel my policy & expect a full refund. There's no reason my 5-yr old Whirlpool dryer can't be repaired, the tech missed app'ts & no one will send me the report so I don't even know what's wrong with it even though I paid for the service call. The delay is unacceptable & their rep gave us erroneous info re: parts. No one followed up on the claim, their offer is insultingly low & requires unnecessary paperwork.

    SHW's website says “We’ll repair your covered item. You’ll pay a minimal service fee. It’s that simple.” This is completely false; nothing has been simple about this claim. I'm extremely dissatisfied with SHW. I'm curious to see how they respond to my request for a full refund; if they resolve this matter acceptably, I'll come back & revise my review. Until then, I would strongly advise NOT purchasing a home warranty from this company.

    This "warranty" company is a genuine fraud. In the only claim I made, they sent out a technician, I paid him an $80 service fee, he invoiced them for the difference, and they never paid him or returned his calls. I think refiled the claim because the problem was not fully addressed, and they sent me an email stating that he had confirmed he was coming out to follow up. I called him, and he had received nothing from them. They also emailed him under another name. This company is just like the moving companies who under-bid a home move, only to hold your stuff hostage until you pay them 3 times what they quoted, only to change their name and reincorporate under a different name to avoid prosecution.

    Select Home Warranty has been the absolute worst home warranty I've ever dealt with.

Now it's almost a week since I submitted the claim and the issue has still not been resolved. Twice I've called in and asked to speak to a supervisor and twice they've said that all supervisors are busy and that I'd get a call back within 24 hours which never happens.

    Now this morning I received an email stating that they want pictures of the unit and all maintenance records to date. I've lived in this house for over 10 years and have had the unit services every year, the AC itself is over 23 years old and parts are bound to need to be replaced but I continue to have issues getting it repaired. I paid more than 2 times the cost of the repair for this year's warranty, and have filed ZERO claims, but yet I am put through the wringer.

    One bad company you can meet for home warranties! One of my properties had an AC malfunction, they send a tech and determined motor blower is the issue. He had to file a claim with them to get it replaced. The motor blower is covered and it is taking them days to process it during extreme heat. They have very long wait lines on phone to speak to someone.

    And another property I had the AC blew capacitor on two AC units. They argued the second AC was not primary and did not fix it. The contract was for primary AC. Tried to argue with them that second AC was primary for the second floor but to no listening mind. They find ways to cut corners on you.

    Select is far and away the worst home warranty company of the 3 I have used. They couldn't find people to dispatch twice yet did not communicate that. I was forced to fix myself. I bought and replaced major parts on a swimming pool and a sprinkler system (pumps, control panel). They would not reimburse. I attempted to elevate case twice to a supervisor. No call back. Both claims were denied - repairs of sprinkler pump and control panel and swimming pool pump -ARE NOT COVERED.

    UPDATE: My policy is still good till Aug. 23. So I have to live with this travesty of a business. As fate would have it, things "still come in threes". My septic aerator went out 4 days ago. True to their operating procedure "they can find" a service rep. I found one. To be approved my rep had to call in with a diagnosis and associated costs. The aerator was burned up and had to be replaced. Cost was $400 for new pump and $50 for labor. After 15 minutes on hold the Select rep stated they would approve $100. He assured them that a aerator, installed, is not available for $100. They reiterated $100 is all that is approved. Clearly, I would have to pay the remainder plus the requisite service call fee of $75.

    I signed up with Select Home Warranty late last November - they offer good prices and it seems the coverage is comprehensive. A few weeks ago, my washing machine started throwing an error message and ending the cycle early. I contacted SHW to file a claim. I was matched to a vendor quickly and we scheduled an appt between 1-3pm the next day. My husband left work early to meet the contractor. He did not call and did not show up. I called Select and they reached out to the vendor who said he'd tried to reach us but we did not answer. I had no missed call or voice mail from him. Because of this unprofessionalism and disrespect of our time we requested a different vendor. SHW quickly connected us with a second vendor. This one did NOT promptly call me so I phoned him. When I reached him on the phone, he told me that he hadn't gotten the assignment from SHW and he would call me back when he did.

    Two days pass, and I hear nothing. I phoned the vendor again and he informs me that he moved his office and I am outside of his range and he'd need to collect a trip fee and that he hadn't called me because he didn't have any already scheduled work close to my home. So once again, I called SHW and asked for a new vendor who could come to me, would return calls, etc. SHW reassigned me to vendor number 1! I called them back again and asked to be reassigned, and they sent me back to vendor 1 a third time. By this time, the SHW rep offers a solution... he says I can find my own vendor and get them to come out and diagnose my issue; I'd be responsible for my $45 service call fee and the vendor should speak to the "authorizations" department while he is in my home to get authorization to complete the work. Well when they were in my home, my husband did not call SHW.

    When I got home, I contacted SHW and was told I could send my proof of payment and the diagnosis in to their email account for authorization (quote of about $500 for a washer repair). I sent the materials in today and received a response that they would not be covering my repair. In their contract is Section 8 which says, “Select Home warranty has the ability to refuse to cover your repair (if they deem it unrepairable or if the repairs exceed the value of the machine),” and instead pay you a prorated amount. They offered me $150 for my washer repair. No way can I repair or replace my washer for anything close to that. They do not let you know how they came to that $150 value. Nor did they say when or if they would be refunding me the excess cost I paid to have a non-SHW vendor come out. (Instead of $45 it cost me $106... They said they would refund the difference before I hired the other company!)

    I am about to send them my original receipt from my purchase of the washer which details the cost ($809) and date of purchase. Front load washers have an expected useful life of 11 years (**). I have had mine for 6 years. If they prorate it, they'd need to compensate me $367. I'd say stay away from this company this clause 8 of the contract gives them the ability to deny claims for stuff they say is a covered repair. I mean, think about it, the clause allows them to deny every big claim... That is the whole purpose of having a warranty... To cover expensive appliance breakdowns. You really need the warranty coverage most a few years in to owning the appliance when you're out of store/manuf warranty, and at that point these repair costs can get high. They can arbitrarily say "Nope we are not gonna cover it. Here is $100 instead." That defeats the entire purpose of having a warranty.

    Now I have a complete lack of confidence that I am covered in the event of a breakdown. Plus, as I mentioned, the contractors they match you to may be terrible (no call/no show, does not reach out to you to book appt, says I moved but didn't tell SHW so now you are out of my range, etc.) NOT worth it. See below for contract verbiage. Section 8. Select’s Option. Select Shall Have the Sole and Exclusive Option to the Following. (iii) In Lieu of Replacing A System or Appliance that Is Deemed Irreparable or It Is Not Cost Effective (iii) In Lieu of Replacing A System or Appliance that Is Deemed Irreparable or It Is Not Cost Effective to Repair, Said Determination being Made by Select, Select May Choose to Pay A Cash Settlement for the Irreparable Component of the System or Appliance.

    I purchased a five year plan, prepaid over $2000 in 2021. Used the warranty for the first time ever earlier this. It was a toilet leak problem. The second time was a refrigerator freezer breakdown. Technician came after three business days, but because of weekend it took five actual days. Select Home Warranty informed that the repair cost was too high, so they offered $250 as compensation based on their estimate of the depreciated value of the refrigerator. I declined the $250 and have asked to a more reasonable amount since I had to pay over $2000 for the replacement refrigerator, which is a lower level unit that the one that broke. Over a week now with no response from Select Home Warranty.

    Called the number and was told to wait for response. So, Select Home Warranty policy is written such that they basically can deny repair of any appliance that is not brand new or near brand new, and offer you pittance in compensation. What is the point of having the home warranty. Total aggravation and stress and I am out of $2000.

Called Select and they said they contacted the vendor and they're not going to be able to come out until Tuesday, which is 4 days. (A response from the vendor would have been nice). Advised them it is unacceptable with this heat as I have two kids. Asked to speak with a supervisor to get an approval to hire my own vendor. Was told that I was going to get a call back. Didn't get a call back until 4 days later. They have now denied my claim and I keep asking for a supervisor and they said that someone would call within 3 hours.

    I have an air conditioner with a broken TXV valve from normal wear and tear (according to technician sent). It was evaluated AM 7/13. Warranty claims they did not receive anything until Friday 7/14 -- yeah sure. It is now 7/22, and I have not received a verdict email, despite 3 separate promises that I would if I waited 2 days, or 1 day, or hours. I was also promised a call back by supervisor which did not occur. The AC is partially functioning, but we have been left with the house between 85 and 90 degrees since then, in Mesa AZ with highs 110+. I called 3 times and got "keep waiting, we've escalated" with promises of a verdict which never came.

    The last time I talked with the rep for an hour. He said I had to wait, but I said I'd wait on hold and would not get off. First, there was no resolution. Then it was "actually there yesterday" - denied because freon was involved. I offered to pay for the freon and have the rest covered. They offered partial coverage and said the policy didn't cover installation $300+. They referred me to paragraphs in the policy that did not speak to that issue. It talked about not covering damage caused by bad installation. I disagreed, but just asked for coverage because of the 6+ days delay. They cited this line in the policy: 10.5. Delay.

    Select will not be responsible for delays in repairing or replacing a system or appliance resulting from events beyond its control. I admit I laughed out loud. It doesn't seem like an act of god beyond their control is involved. I have been lied to, delayed, partially denied. And forced to deal with all this. Over the phone they promised partial coverage, but I have no email. They advised me to fix it on my own and apply for reimbursement. After already saying they would deny it.

    Filed claim 7/3/23 A/C. Select Home sent their technician out 7/6/23. He called from inspection & advised compressor out, unit needed replacing. Advised should have answer w/in 48 hrs. I called after 48 hrs - every day, sometimes twice day (11 calls) and was told expediting due to medical reasons & small children in home. Finally filed complaint with BBB. Supv sent email advising he would assist. Called Supv 4 times & sent emails asking him to contact me. Received email from BBB that company had advised they reached out to me & no response!! Exact opposite - I couldn't get anyone to call me.

    When I sent copies of emails to BBB, got call from Supv. He stated technician diagnosis was Freon leak that wasn't covered. Insisted on 3 way call with technician since that is not what I was told. Reluctantly he agreed. When technician got on call & explained compressor was out, did not report Freon leak, Supv asked him get off call & then offered me $600 to settle claim. New unit costs $6,000 plus. Told Supv to cancel my contract & send refund asap. VERY Disappointed!!!

    I purchased a three year home warranty from this company in February of 2023. I was not given a policy or policy number until four plus months later when I canceled the policy, I had requested one numerous times prior to that date. I was never able to use the warranty as I had no policy number nor policy to see what all was covered. I was quoted a refund amount by two different employees. This amount was to have a $75 deduction due to it being outside of the 30 day money back guarantee. I agreed to that amount reluctantly. Instead I was deducted $240.20. I have been calling for over a month after I received the shorted check and have gotten transferred to three different departments and over ten different persons. They all say their managers will call me back within a specified timeframe. This never happens. They keep saying my refund is prorated and my case is closed per my policy. But I never got my policy until I told them I wanted to cancel.

    This is a very deceitful company. Their company policy is to give the customer the run around by giving phone numbers that have been disconnected, passing the customers off to multiple departments then not following thru with what they themselves promised. In the past I have used American Home Warranty and have not had any issues with them. Select Home Warranty company is a very shady company that uses stall tactics in hopes that the customer will just give up on trying to get their money back.

I felt quite a bit put off by that. Other than that, the sales experience went fine. I signed up for a much longer warranty period than I had intended because of the many perks and freebies that the sales agent threw in.

He said the unit was old and the compressor had failed. And he would submit it to Select, but they said he never did. I kept calling Select and finally asked them to assign a new repair company and gave them a name and number. They assigned someone else. It turned out their traffic people called my choice over the weekend and no one answered, so they moved on to another company.

    I called the new company and discovered he had not been assigned the case. And had been told by Select they were no longer a Select contractor. Select's customer service people did a three way call and told him they were giving it to him anyway (which I appreciate). He agreed to come out the next day. A full week after the unit failed. He was wonderful. Kino Mechanical looked at the unit and said the compressor was fine. Further, that the unit was only three years old and was under warranty (I bought the house two years ago). He installed a new condenser and it started right up. Throughout this process I kept hearing that Select never approves actual work, so I told him if they don't pay him for the condenser I would pay him.

Well I didn’t. Plenty of my stuff broke but they don’t cover it. I’m not convinced they have ever covered a major appliance in the history of this company.

    Anyone who submitted a positive review didn’t do the math. My AC broke and the technician said it needs to be replaced because the part that is broken no longer exists and the Freon for the unit also no longer exists. Select said their “expert technicians” decided to pay the cost to replace the part that doesn’t exist. Literally they admitted the part no longer exists but they only paid that price anyway. I called 7 times and sent emails and got nowhere. Once they decide your reimbursement amount they won’t change it. DO NOT DO IT! THEY DON’T PAY WHAT THEY CLAIM TO PAY.

First, all the customer service is from off shore (I suspect India since all the people I talked to had heavy Indian accents (don't mean this to be racist just reality)). At times it was impossible to understand them, additionally the phone connections were not good.

    My claims were finally acknowledged and I was supposed to be reimbursed payments based on the contract. In order to get reimbursement I was asked to submit invoices for repair which I did. I was then told that they would send forms which I needed to complete and send in. Once this was done it would take another month to get my money.

    It appears to me that this company is doing all it can to discourage paying claims that are due. I am so frustrated because of all the calls that I have made. I have also made attempts to speak to a representative that spoke better English with not luck. I attempted to call their corporate office but the call went back to the same people that I had difficulty understanding. My advise is do not buy a warranty from this company unless you are prepared to go through hell to collect what is due and even then you may get nothing.

    They refused to do so. They keep saying they will escalate the situation, but for the last 2 weeks when I call to check status on the claim I keep hearing the same "no maintenance records". They claim they will give me a courtesy amount of $300, when all I ask for is half of the cost for a new unit. I called today to cancel, because their policy is "cancel anytime" and they tried throwing sales pitches to get me to stay.

    I’m a single mother living with my elderly parent, my son and our dog. I bought this warranty over 6 months ago with Connor Beckman, a Select home warranty representative in hoping this would help me if we were to run into a costly repair on the home.

    1. I was told I would have a personal claims person that would handle things with me if I were to file a claim – not one person knew what I was talking about when I started having issues with my AC claim.

    2. My policy clearly reads: “The Select service technician will be instructed to provide a repair of the appliance or system within two (2) days during normal business hours and four (4) days on weekends and holidays following submission of the claim.” I initially called 6/21/23 stating that my AC isn’t working and submitted a claim.

    6/22 the service tech came the and submitted to Select the needed documents on his part. I called the next day on the 23rd for an update where I was told the claim was being worked on and that a decision as to whether or not my claim would be paid would be made by Monday, the 26th (then being 48hrs from when the service tech submitted their info). I ALSO verified that no additional information was need from me or the service technician.

    I asked at this point if I could go ahead and have the work completed and simply be reimbursed so my family and I didn’t have to suffer – I was told no work could be done until the claim was decisioned or they will not pay out on the claim. GREAAAAT, so hold hostage a very needed appliance in FL midsummer from a family with small children, an elderly parent and pet. That tracks well with customers I’m sure – as if their decision would change just because I go ahead and have the work done.

    Come Monday the 26th, I receive an email at 10:34am requesting services/maintenance records for the AC. I supplied this soon after and I even called to verify it’d been received. I explained at this point that I submitted the requested service/maintenance records for the time period I’ve owned the property which was just under 3 years and told this was fine. I then asked when I’d receive a decision on my claim. AGAIN I was told 24-48hrs. I iterated to the representative I have been told this exact time frame several times and that THIS IS MY AC WE’RE TALKING ABOUT and that we were suffering.

    The representative assured me a decision would be made and “escalated” my claim. They asked for me to give them until the next business day and that they themselves would follow up. I got a call after a few hours from a DIFFERENT representative to tell me my claim was approved but only for $150 because I hadn’t provided maintenance/service records.

    My patience growing thin I took a second to explain that I’d supplied my maintenance records had already been provided. They THEN explain they require 3 years’ worth of service/maintenance records. I told the rep that I have not owned the property for 3 years yet. I was then told I would need to contact the prior owner, see if they remembered who it was serviced with when THEY owned the property and get the remaining 3 years worth of documentation. My frustration is beyond explanation at this point. I tried to request a manager as the request is certainly NOT REASONABLE by any means. They refused to let me speak with a manager stating I’d be told the same thing. We hung up and I began reviewing my documents.

    I called back when I realized I HAD INDEED provided 3 years’ worth of service/maintenance records, what the heck!!! At first, I asked what their expectation was when requesting 3 years' worth of service/maintenance records and confirmed with the representative that this would consist of 1 service appointment per year for the last 3 years. I then explained I’d provided documents for the last 4 total service/maintenance records (6 total attachments) dating: 6/2021, 3/2022, 9/2022 and 3/2023. At first the representative claimed they’d only received one attachment until I urged him to look further as I already confirmed they were included. BIG SURPRISE, he looked closer and found the remaining attachments.

    He went through them and he himself was confused even stating this was indeed 3 years’ worth of records. He said he’d send things back up to be re-reviewed. Again, I was told 24-48 hrs where I argued until again they stated they’d personally follow up and to give them the 24 hrs as the claim would yet again be escalated.

    The morning of the 28th I get a call with an “update” saying nothing more than the claim is still being reviewed. I expressed my frustrations and I iterated that I was told my claim would be decisioned by the end of the day, putting us at roughly 24hrs I was told. I called again later that day to see if there was any update just before 5pm and was told again that more time was needed. At this point I demanded to know when I would have a decision – the representative then tells me I’d receive an update by 6pm EST that day. SOOOooo, I call back yet again, its now 5 min till 6 pm. The representative tells me AGAAAAAINN more time is needed and that an estimated time cannot be given. I again expressed my frustrations stating my contract with them clearly says 24-48 hrs and that I’m dealing with this FL heat and that I needed this decisioned.

    The lady further frustrates me by continuing to repeat the same thing over and over again because she has nothing more she can say. It is now a week later from when I submitted this claim and still no progress has by made on their part. I STILL have NO AC IN FL WHEN THERE’S 115 DEGREE HEAT INDEX OUTSIDE. Contract reads: “the system and/or appliance repaired or replaced will be paid for by Select within a reasonable time following submission of the claim” --- A WHOLE WEEK WITHOUT AN AC IN THIS HEAT IS NOT REASONABLE BY AN AVERAGE PERSON’S STANDARD!!!!

    You’re telling me normal wear and tear on an HVAC system is being deemed a pre-existing condition and then can’t answer my questions when I ask for further explanation. As if the AC was supposed to be brand new or something?? You’re using the exact same information I’d already provided when you guys said I was approved at $150 due to not having the full 3 years but then I kindly point out to your incompetent representative that there are indeed 3 years’ worth provided. THEN you guys try fishing for ANY other reason you can deny my claim.

    I called back even on the 28th and again the 29th to try getting further explanation of which the representatives would tell me to “review my policy” or would recite the section of the agreement left in the email. You think after how many times I’ve called and escalated the claim I’d at least get a courtesy call with more explanation but no. So yeah, okay, my experience has been BEYOND terrible -Terrible doesn’t even cut it.

    On July 7, 2022, I signed a 3-year contract with Select Home Warranty LLC to cover my appliances. On Fri, Jun 2, 2023, I submitted a claim to fix my washer. On Monday, June 19th the technician arrived at my home to replace the parts which were sent to me by the warranty company. The technician was not able to repair the washer as the part was defective and another required part was not sent to me at all. I contacted the warranty company multiple times asking them to send me new working parts and fix the unit but do not get any feedback from them. The only solution they offered is $200 which is not enough to replace the unit.

    Considering this, I asked the warranty company to terminate my policy as I do not get any help from them and reimburse my prorated payment which I made when bought this policy. However, the representatives of this company keep saying that they will charge me for the parts even though the part was defective and another required part was not sent to me. I agree to send the defective part back to them but they refuse to accept it and want to charge me for it. It sounds like fraud from them because they are sending the defective part to the customers and refusing to get them back.

    It was a big mistake to even think about this group. Cheating and lying is their main business. After I discovered that they do not honor their promises, I canceled my membership and they tried to convince me to stay, but I refused. The AC stopped working during the heat season in Arizona and it took them 5 days to send someone, we paid him $ 100.00 for the privilege of showing up. He claimed that there was a leak in the system and it is not covered. I told them to cancel the contract. They promised to send me less than half what I paid.

    They sent me an email promising that the check will be with me in 7 days. Three weeks later still no check. I call them almost every day and they keep telling the same lie, "we sent the check". Some times they say "you will get your check between 2-3 weeks", although their first email stated only 7 days for the check to arrive.

    Run away. I have been a customer for over 3 years. I have submitted 2 claims. Both were denied because of contract exclusions. Keep in mind that they decide what company to send out to make a decision on the reason for the failure. My last experience? My AC failed. My AC company was out that day. They reported low compressor pressures. The system would not accept freon so they diagnosed it as compressor failure. I told them to hold off on the $1800 replacement because I wanted the home warranty company to come out and "hopefully" cover the repair.

    The insurance company sent out their company. They took 4 days for them to show up. It's 90 degrees in Florida. Kind of hot in the house. He immediately diagnosed it as a freon leak. That falls into their list of exclusions. He did not attempt to add freon or identify the source of the leak. He would not discuss it with me and will not answer my calls. And the kicker? When I called to cancel it took almost an hour, two different people, and they tell me there is a $75 cancellation fee. Excuse me???? For what?

    In June of 2022, I called SHW to submit a claim for the first time since I have had my policy ( 272416951) with them since August 2021. It was found that there was a leak in my AC unit and freon needed to be replaced. They told me that because there was freon involved, there was no reason to file a claim as that isn't covered in my policy.

    This year, May 17, 2023 I had a technician come out for routine maintenance again on this same issue. I was told that the repairs would be approximately $5k. I called another company to see if they would give me a free second quote, they in turn told me the same thing. The second company was there on May 18, given the fact they had both told me that I would be continually "patching" the system I chose to have a new one replaced. I had elderly relatives coming in from out of town to stay at my home on 5/20. And it was 84 degrees in my house.

    The second company offered to replace the entire unit on 5/19, in time for my company to be comfortable while here for their stay. Because I was busy with techs in and out of my house on the 19th and company arriving on the 20th, I didn't contact SHW BEFORE the repairs.

    I submitted a claim, with my invoice and was promptly emailed back the next day telling me my claim was denied because I didn't get prior approval for MY choice of techs. I spoke to someone about my concerns and they told me that they would escalate my claim and I would hear back within 1-2 business days. This was on Friday, June 2. I called today (June 7th) and was told that I had already been emailed my determination and they won't be paying any of my claim. This morning I first talked to Kirby who wouldn't let me speak to a manager, he just kept reading me the terms of my policy. Finally after I stopped him and said I know the terms of my policy, you've just read them to me 5 times, he told me he'd have a manager call me.

    JR called me 6/7/23 at 11:28 am. He too read and reread my policy to me. I told him I understood, but as he just told me in emergency situations things can be approved. I then explained to him, another time the situation. I'm not even asking for the ENTIRE $12k, SOMETHING is better than nothing. Hell HALF... would be great.

    Be CAREFUL.... When I finally did talk to a manager he informed me that they deal with "thousands of these complaints each day". Their website is awful. I have tried to leave a review there, but apparently they only pick and choose the good ones. There's no easy way to get to anything on their site, you want to submit a claim.... Check your email for a link; customer portal..... Check your email for a link. There is a reason this is so tightly ran.

    My wife and I are on fixed incomes and since we bought an older home we thought it would be a good idea to obtain a Home Warranty that would help us with costs if the need should arise. We chose Select Home Warranty as the company to take care of our needs. The need has arised when our heating/cooling system on the southside of our home went down. We submitted a claim to get the service up and running again but never heard back from them for almost two weeks.

    We contacted Select Home Warranty and they said they were still working on getting us a contractor to fix our system.

    Seven days later we called back and they informed us that we would need to find a contactor on our own because they were unable to located anyone that could help us in a timely manner. Which meant that they breached their contract with us because it states clearly in the Service Agreement that they would provide the contactors of their choosing. What they didn't tell us that there are no contactors anywhere that will work with any Home Warranty company anymore because they don't pay the their bills in a timely manner or if at all after the services are completed.

    This has put a fear in us that if we could afford to pay the contractors for the fixing of our heating/cooling system or any other appliances, electrical, plumbing or any other need that might arise, that we would never get paid back by them. Wouldn't you know it, I was just on the phone with Select Home Warranty while typing this summary of our experience. Brian is calling me from their dispatch department and now has transferred me to Julus from another department. They are trying to convince us to stay with them. We have had to ask for help from attorneys in this matter.

    I have been a loyal Select Home Warranty customer for years, so imagine my disgust and disheartenment that I have had to contact you to complain about the manner in which my recent claim has been handled. Moreover, my attempts to resolve this issue over the last week has proven futile, which is why I have had go to this level to request immediate intervention. I want to preface this complaint letter by advising that I am a disabled elderly woman who is recovering from major reconstructive surgery due to an orthopedic trauma, so this current sequence of events which has transpired have been made worse, due to my current physical condition.

    On May 7th, 2023, the drain in my utility room downstairs backed up and caused spillage. I immediately contacted Select Home Warranty, to advise about this and request that a plumber come to my home immediately. As such, on May 9th, a plumber arrived at my home, and he explain to me that he only had a 25 foot snake to put down in the drain, but he felt that length should be sufficient to remedy the problem. Shockingly, an hour after the plumber pushed the snake down the drain, the spillage became worse, and the liquid covered the hardwood floors completely.

    At this point, the plumber was no longer at my home, so I called Select Home Warranty again, and requested help. I was told that someone would contact me within 1 to 2 days. I was baffled that the customer representatives thought it would be acceptable to schedule a call back in 1 to 2 days considering the condition of my home which was now in a worse state than before the plumber came to my home on the 9th. I stressed the urgency of this matter as my home was in a horrible state and it was worsening day by day.

    Despite my constant protesting and pleading, I was told the only option was for me to wait 1 to 2 days for someone from the company to contact me. Needless to say, no one contacted me as promised. On multiple occasions I was promised call backs, but no one ever called. Each time I called for assistance I was told I would I receive a call back, but that never occurred, this resulted in me having to call constantly requesting help. I patiently waited for a follow up call, but after days of suffering from respiratory and gastrointestinal distress caused by inhaling the fumes and vapors from the spillage, I called Select Home Warranty again and pleaded for assistance.

    On May 15th, a plumber was sent to my home. The plumber diagnosed the problem, and advised that in order to resolve the problem he would need to remove the toilet and complete the repairs. He contacted Select Home Warranty to advise them what was required to complete the repairs. However, he was told by a representative with Select Home Warranty that the company would not cover the removal of the toilet. Despite the insistence from the plumber who explained the mandatory steps required for the repair, he was told by the company that they would not cover the removal of the toilet which was needed to complete the work.

    At this point, he declined to attempt to do any further work at all, as he was confident that any work he completed other than removing the toilet and completing the repair, would be done in vain, and would only be a short term remedy, as the removal of the toilet was vital in completing the repair sufficiently. I am appalled by the service I have received from this company. The failure to immediately act at onset of the spillage has lead to extreme damage to the flooring in my home, but also this has created a major disruption in my life.

    As I mentioned at the genesis of this letter, I am elderly and currently recovering from major orthopedic surgery, so it is extremely unsafe for me to attempt to navigate my way around my home, due to the massive amount of liquid covering my floors. Moreover, the physical effects I have experienced from living in my home with this spillage have been devastating. As I am still relatively immobile and unable to comfortably leave my home, I have had no other choice than to stay in my home and suffer.

    On May 14th; Mother’s Day, my family members were originally scheduled to come to my home to celebrate the day with me, however, due to this spillage issue not being resolved, our plans had to be cancelled. This issue has impacted my mental and emotional health. I am unable to sleep as the thoughts of living in this toxic home are constantly on my mind. I am unable to eat as the stress from this situation has caused me to experience anxiety resulting in loss of appetite. I am constantly suffering headaches, nausea, restlessness and uneasiness. Moreover, considering my condition coupled with my age, your company has failed to maintain the necessary steps to ensure a duty of care to a vulnerable customer, and this situation borders on elder abuse.

    At this point, I am requesting your immediate intervention. The constant delays and subsequent refusal from Select Home Warranty to repair the toilet and resolve the spillage has lead to an exacerbation of the problem. I am frustrated and shocked as to how this company has treated a loyal customer with such inconsideration and unprofessionalism. Select Home Warranty’s company motto is “ We provide peace of Mind”, sadly in my case your company has provided anything but “peace of mind”. I have received unfulfilled promises, excuses, refusals etc..,but nothing which has afforded me peace. Unfortunately, my case does not appear to be an isolated incident, because as recently as two days ago, other customers have posted negative reviews highlighting their issues with the company.

    Once again, I am suffering, and I am requesting your intervention in getting the needed repairs completed, and any damage caused from the spillage resolved. After submitting my complaint to the CEO, customer service the complaints dept etc.. I was contacted by Ron ** from Select Home Warranty, on May 16th, who told me to contact a plumber to come to my home, and have the plumber call him, and he would assure that all of the work needed would be covered. On May 17th, while at my home, the plumber called Mr. Smith, and he told the plumber that the company was not covering the repairs. Mr. ** lied to me after I submitted my complaint. Since that time, I have called him over a dozen times, and left messages, but he refuses to answer my calls. I have been left physically ill from this situation! And I need immediate intervention.

    Stay away from this company. Their sales pitch is extremely misleading and I was given false information regarding coverage. You do not receive the policy with fine print until you sign up, and section 10 drastically limits coverage for repairs/replacement. This is despite being told age of items covered does not matter and that up to 12K a year in repairs/replacements are covered. This is absolutely not the case. I've filed two claims thus far and both times Select Home Warranty could not find a technician. And then coverage was at a minuscule fraction of my bill to repair the "covered" items. I've wasted hours on the phone with this pathetic company, typically being "man-splained" regarding section 10 of the policy. Be warned. This company is all lip service and no follow-through.

    When we initially filed the claim in January 2023, Select Home Warranty sent a technician to investigate the issue, but the technician provided us with inaccurate information by stating that nothing was wrong, without any diagnostic report or plumbing service rendered. He also recommended we ignore the issue. We later discovered that the root cause of the problem was a leakage in the garage plumbing junction area, which means the SelectHomeWarranty’s original information was misleading and problematic.

    While SelectHomeWarranty representatives (Jane, Faith, John, Paul, etc.) indicated that the claim should have been covered if we provided the report before contracting with a third-party plumbing company, SelectHomeWarranty failed to identify the issue and provide a root cause analysis or fixation at the time of the technician's first visit. As a result, SelectHomeWarranty missed the opportunity to provide due diligence and due service as originally covered by the policy. As negotiations with our home insurance company are still ongoing, we have paid $5,000 out of our own pocket to fix the issue.

    As a new customer to SelectHomeWarranty, we were not aware of the requirement to seek approval before fixing the issue. We have had previous experience with another company that allowed us to submit a report and expense report for reimbursement after the work was done. We, however, acted quickly to have confined the damage and reduced the downstream cost.

    After we fixed the issue, we informed SelectHomeWarranty in a timely manner and asked for help. However, SelectHomeWarranty refused to cover the plumbing cost, citing our failure to ask for approval before starting the work. However, none of the representatives explained why their technician's statement of "nothing was wrong" was problematic and non-valid, nor did they mention how SelectHomeWarranty would compensate for our loss based on a plumbing issue that should have been identified and covered by the original policy.

    During the conversation with SelectHomeWarranty representatives Faith, John, and Paul (on 04/28/23 and 05/01/23), a supervisor-level representative was supposed to reach out to us within one or two hours but nobody followed. SelectHomeWarranty promised the customer to do one thing but ignored it. Their business mindset is that they will put hardline into their policy, if a customer did not figure it out, then it is the customer’s fault and they will finger-point it and not cover the case. They will not provide advice to customers in good faith to guide the customer timely on the right track.

    First of all, Select Home Warranty is listed as an "AUTHORIZED PARTNER" to this website, so be aware of any positive reviews vs. negative reviews.

    Based on this website, I chose SELECT HOME WARRANTY for 3 of my properties in California. THIS WAS A COLOSSAL MISTAKE. SHW (Select Home Warranty) has an unbelievable contract which allows them to wiggle out of fixing any and every item brought to their attention.

    For me this included electrical wiring, air conditioning condenser coils and a dryer DOOR! Yes, a simple DOOR! Which, by the way, was a $49 fix that took about twenty minutes. Each time, they quoted me a passage from their contract that says it is discluded for a different reason. But the door was the final straw. They disclude DOORS on all appliances! Can you believe that?!

    AHS American Home shield isn’t great but they were MILES above these guys. Also, I had to threaten SHW to get even a fraction of my money back. They did some fancy accounting, discounting my pro-rated refund to cut even deeper into my opinion of them. Even their own manager told me that AHS is a better company than they are. He actually admitted it when I cornered him on their policy. I dropped all 3 SIX YEAR CONTRACTS for my properties with them. They are the absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. Read the contract before you sign it and you will see how they do not have to fix anything.

    Please read the small print in Select Home Warranty contract. Wording is tricky in many instances when comes to providing proper coverage. For example, when it states major replacements after three months, their position is three months after the initial 30-day waiting period which means you are really not covered for full replacement until four months have elapsed. Another example is when they authorize you to bring in your own service provider "to come and diagnose the issue" and you are given a "$100 pre-set Authorization limit." Then the wording changes the offer to "reimbursement is ONLY available for covered repairs." Based on the second part, they refuse payment because there was no repair, only a diagnosis. In my opinion, you are wasting your money on this warranty!!
