    I had spent my entire morning calling several home warranty companies looking to switch to a new carrier due to unfavorable service from our previous company.. With Select, the process was very easy to start. I was able to have all my questions answered and was told about additional services I hadn't been aware of before. I encountered many friendly representatives who were all very informative. Response time was terrific and they offered unbeatable prices.

    While the lady I spoke with was exceptionally knowledgeable and polite, I cannot recommend Select Home Warranty as they don't have enough technicians to call. The Warranty company put the onus on me to call a repairman and two companies refused to work with a warranty company as it takes too much phone back and forth to get a repair approved. They said the companies do not pay them enough to make it worth their time and effort to sign up with the warranty company.

    After shopping for a new home warranty company online, I received a call from Select Home warranty within minutes of looking at their plans. I spoke with the rep and he was knowledgeable about the plans and informed me that once I decided to purchase a plan with them, my rates would be locked in for life. The coverage seems good, very comparable to the company I had. He gave me options for lowering my costs and my welcome email and contract was sent within minutes of hanging up with him. I can't review their service yet because there is a 30 day waiting period and I haven't had any claims yet.

    Easy to deal with. Better prices than some of the competitors. For the price they sell at you would not get pool coverage from one of the competing warranty companies.

    Select Home Warranty is the worst Home Warranty Company we've ever used. They lure in Consumers with a low monthly and low deductible but that were the good benefits of their home warranty ends. They sent a repair guy to fix our clothes dryer and it stay fixed 1 week. We keep trying to get them back out to fix it over 12 more times but no one ever came back out to fix the dryer, their repairmen don't keep their word. To make thing worst, after 4 months of waiting for our dryer to be fixed and countless broken promise from Select Home Warranty we finally had to call to cancel the plan and we were hung up on twice by a Rep who obviously didn't like the fact that we had finally had enough and would not tolerate their lack luster service any more.

    Don't be fooled by the deceptive fake high online rating or by their low monthly prices! Run, Run, Run to a more ethical Company that stands behind their work and has ethical contractors representing them! In all honesty, the contractors are a just a reflection of the poor service quality of Select Home Warranty as a whole!

    I recently purchased a home warranty from Select Home Warranty because fixing problems around the house is not my strong suit. That's not what I do for a living! Now, for the last 15 years or so, I did do almost all of my own repairs. I managed to fumble through the issues with common sense, tenacity and plain old dumb luck. However, now that I've gotten older, smashing my fingers or hands hurts a lot. Getting cut, hurts a lot. Getting shocked and blown across the kitchen, that's right, hurts a lot. So by investing in a home warranty sounded like a good idea. In May of '20 I did just that. Then in July of '20 I saw that the plumbing was leaking near a closet.

    For the first time ever, I breathed a sigh of relief. Understand that when I spoke with the salesman, I literally said that, "I want to be covered no matter what! I don't care if I call you to report a light bulb is burned out, I don't want to hear no crap, just change it!" I was exaggerating for emphasis obviously but, you get the point. So, I filed the claim and guess what!? This poor excuse for a company denied me! Saying that "fixtures aren't covered in my contract. Have a nice day." First of all, who said anything about a fixture!? That's an impressive diagnosis from a 10 minute phone call with the lady from India! Second, I don't care what it is, get it fixed! Well, being a shady, bait and switch jerks must be their business model. Trust me and take your business anywhere else. Get a warranty from your spouses cousin that has one tooth and two names, you'd be better off.

I didn't pay for the plan since it came with my house but from what the other person paid it seems reasonable. My renewal is coming up soon so I'll see if it stays reasonable. Coverage seems to be a little lacking though since I had a few things that I thought would be covered but was not. That could just be my plan though. I would say if the plan is at a good value or it's included in your house go ahead and get it. Otherwise, it might be better to save up the money yourself.

    "This Agreement does not cover any systems or appliances that have had previous repair or that require repair as a result of improper installation, previous repair, damage caused by any construction activity, improper wiring, inadequate or lack of capacity, power failures, power surges, overloads, missing parts, failure to properly maintain, failure to properly clean, neglect, misuse, corrosion, rust, sediment and any modification to the system or appliance. You are responsible for providing maintenance and cleaning by a licensed technician on covered items to ensure continued coverage on such items." In summary, a very lengthy and time consuming process after which the claim is denied. On top, customer service does not care at all. Their standard trained response is to tell you to just wait and "someone will contact you via email".

    My well pump quit working on a Saturday night. I took additional coverage for my primary well pump. I had to utilize my own technician as I needed it fixed asap as it was my primary water source. They did reimburse me some of the repair money which I was happy. They called and emailed to keep me in the loop of the process. Overall a great experience.

    This $ 150.00 is not enough to fix it. Are y'all paying the repair man? And I will get a check for y'all $ 150.00 to pay for the part? I need a ice box now and the repair man said it would be 6 to 8 weeks before he can get the part. I don't understand why this $ 3000.00 ice box is not being replaced. I was told that if a appliance go out that it would replace. And the $150.00 is a long way from covering the cost to replace it. I would get a different one. But a regular ice box with a ice make it $ 700.00. I don't have that kind of money. I live on a small disability check ($ 950.00). It would take a yr or so of saving before I could get one. I need one now. Need one how. Please help me. I have been madeing monthly payments for a long time. Thinking I would be covered and now I'm in a bind. Please help me. Thank you. Teri **

    I was looking for a new warranty after my American Home Shield warranty expired. I came across Select Home Warranty. They had a better monthly price, and cheaper deductible with great reviews! It seemed like a no-brainer and I gave them a shot. About a month into my warranty, my ice maker on the refrigerator start spewing water everywhere. Left a huge puddle, fortunately, I caught it fairly quickly and was able to disable the ice maker and clean up the mess. I decided to file a claim to get the ice maker fixed. It's clearly covered, right? Anyways, after finding out there is no way to file a claim with a real person, I went to the website to file a claim.

    There is no sign in page, and you have to submit a form. Which I found disappointing since AHS, had a nice portal that had all my information and I could track my claims easily. Anyways, I file the claim as a leak, selected what I thought may be the problem. Honestly, I had no clue, I'm not an appliance expert otherwise I would do the work myself. Anyways, 48 hours later it was denied because apparently what I selected as the problem wasn't covered. No tech, no nothing. They went based on whatever I selected (Like I knew). I found that odd, but needed my ice maker fixed, so I called a local guy to come do a diagnostic since SHW wouldn't send anyone over. Turns out it was the board, the ice maker and it needed a new valve (Nothing close to what I selected on SHW).

    Anyways, I try to resubmit my claim using the diagnostic from the local place since based on the policy the ice maker is covered and the whole was broke and not just some water line as I suspected earlier. Again 48 hours they denied my claim and said none of that was covered. Blew my mind, since the policy explicitly states the ice maker is covered in the fridge, but they couldn't tell me exactly why they denied. When I asked for clarification, I didnt get a response. So I cancelled their service and got a pro-rated rate back and then went back to American Home Shield. At least with them, any time I had an issue the deductible covered the cost of a tech and I never had issues with them refusing to fix anything covered.

    Horrible company. My clothes dryer was making a loud noise. I filed a claim. 5 days later they cannot get anyone to come over. They keep telling me that they cannot locate any technicians in my area. I am in Nashville, TN, the capital of the state and you can't find anyone??? Told me to get someone on my own. I make my monthly payment on time every month and they want ME to pay upfront and they pray they will reimburse me?? I wouldn't trust them to give me any reimbursement.

    They finally got me a company after I continuously demanded it and when I got the link saying to click on and pick a time for the appt it says that "Select Home Warranty has this as completed". WHAT! No one has come out. How is it completed 5 minutes after they contact me to say they found someone. Worst company ever!! In looking at my paperwork I see that I don't have a contract and it is month to month so guess what? After this dryer is done I'm cancelling!!! BEWARE.

Thanks for saving me money compared to what I was paying at Sears Home Warranty and they were only covering the washer, dryer, dishwasher, and microwave.

The only thing would be that Ray, my sales agent, stated that if I purchased the warranty today, 7/14, versus wait until 7/27, the scheduled date of closing, that he would waive the 30 day waiting period. My contract does not reflect that specific revision/promise. I called Ray and e-mailed him. Hopefully he can direct me to the specific place in the contract where this waiver is reflected.

    Our air conditioner went out on Friday during 4th of July weekend. They were very quick to get someone out to our place to check it out Monday morning after the holiday weekend. Unfortunately the authorization process took much longer than we expected and we have gone over 10 days without air conditioning in the middle of the summer. The representatives are always positive and did their best to give us updates when we called daily to check in and let us know they put an urgency on the request. Would recommend getting someone to authorize claims on weekends or after hours so customers don’t have to wait two weeks to get things replaced and repaired.
