Adam was great and helped me get a warranty for the buyers of my home. Very personable and explained everything to me properly. Would use them again for sure. We have not had to submit a claim yet so can't comment there.

I am a new customer, and my representative was very kind and patient. I asked about my floor furnace heater, and he told me it was covered, because with my other Home Warranty Policy DID NOT cover my furnace heater. If this is NOT correct information. I NEED someone to call or text me to let me know ASAP from Select company. Thank you.

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They have turned down both of our claims we have submitted. We are out of pocket around $3,000. What is a home warranty even for? We bought an older home so yes things are going to go wrong and that is what the turned us down for. So I suggest you not choose this company when looking for one. And no one I have talked to can speak English so I couldn’t understand a thing that said.

1-Star Review – Select Home Warranty. Select Home Warranty has been one of the most frustrating companies I’ve ever dealt with. I submitted a service request and was assigned a technician with a scheduled appointment window. The technician never showed up. When I called, I was told they were running late—but hours passed with no arrival and no communication. Eventually, I couldn’t even get through because their voicemail was full.
After multiple follow-ups, I was told they couldn’t find another technician in my area and that I would need to pay out of pocket and request reimbursement. That completely defeats the purpose of having a home warranty. I have serious doubts that reimbursement would ever be handled fairly or promptly. The lack of accountability, poor communication, and failure to provide basic service is unacceptable. A warranty company should make repairs easier—not push the burden back onto the customer. I would not recommend Select Home Warranty to anyone looking for reliable coverage.

Do NOT buy a policy from Select Home Warranty. They do not stand behind their policy, honor their contracts, and do not pay claims. Horrible company to deal with. A waste of time and money. It cost me more in time and repairs with the warranty policy, than if I had paid for repairs without the policy. I escalated concerns on several occasions to a supervisors, and they were rude and dismissive. Scam Company!!!

JP our Rep was very helpful in answering our questions. We have had warranty coverage before, so we knew what we wanted, and JP assured us we would get that and more. We like that the price will be guaranteed for 3 years, and we know the value of a policy like this.

I switched from American Home Shield (AHS) in Oct 25' to save a little money by going with Select Home Warranty (SHW). It is now March 26', I've only made two claims, and SHW has failed to provide service as I had been accustomed to. The first issue was a work order for my refrigerator leaking. The first technician they sent said he fixed it (didn't get approval from SHW first), but only caused it to leak more. After which, he never returned my calls or SHWs, so they sent another worker, but this time from a PROPERTY MANAGER. NOT from a plumbing repair business but from a cheap property manager who hired his own cheap workers to do work for him. That technician repaired the fridge correctly but again failed to call SHW beforehand. All told, over three weeks to get a leak fixed on my refrigerator.
Now on the 22nd of March, I submitted a claim for my toilet to be fixed (plumber diagnosed three issues when he arrived: 1) Wall shut-off. 2) Faulty fill bulb. 3) Tank flapper seal worn away. The plumber they sent was from a company, Total Repair Now, who has a 1.9 out of 5-star rating. The reviews all stated the company was only used because "that's who my warranty company sent out" and they had a horrible time with communication or completing work in a reasonable time. Sure enough, the technician arrived on Tues, the 24th, and provided their diagnosis to SHW the same day. They noted it should be considered an emergency because I can't use the toilet, and it's costing me money. SHW provided their approval on Wed, the 25th at 12:30pm. I have not heard from the Total Repair Now since they left my house on the 24th and it is now the 30th. I have left at least 2 messages a day since Fri, the 27th.
Calling SHW to get them to energize the technician, they tell me on Thur, the 23rd, they give them 2 business days to contact me and schedule the repair day. It's now Mon, the 30th and when I call SHW, the operator tells me they try to give the technicians 4 business days. Between the warranty company and the sub-par contractors they hire, you get more headaches and less efficient and proficient work. As soon as they get my toilet fixed, I am canceling this crappy service and going back to AHS. My past AHS repairs were all claimed and fixed in the span of LESS than 5 business days. You pay for what you get, and I'm getting cheap service.

We have had nothing but good experiences from SHW. They have saved us a ton of money and wonder why more people do not get home warranties. If you are in the market SHW is the place.

I only gave them a 1 rating because 0 isn't there! They are real quick to take your money and don't stop talking until they get it! I tried to tell the guy I really couldn't afford it being on a fixed income, but he only cared about his "pocket". I finally said yes just to get him off the phone. If you change your mind within that 30 days, which it says on their website you'll get a full refund if you do, it doesn't happen very quickly and not before 2 or 3 people there try to talk you into going with a lower plan. After too much time on the phone, I just wanted to get off the phone, get my full refund and forget I ever heard of their company. SHW, I hope you read this and refund my money ASAP!

Absolutely the worst home warranty I have ever dealt with in the past 15+ years, the company is a complete scam. I have filed total of 5 claims for the past 2 years, none of them was resolved in a decent manner. My first claim was for my AC, they advised to find my own technician since theirs were busy (the reality is that no company wants to work with them). My claim was for $700, they paid $600, later I found that they actually bought off the AC. What kind of buy out price for an AC is this, I can barely replace the filters for that kind of money. Next, my fridge. They sent techs, the techs misdiagnosed it as manufacturer defect and apparently not covered. I called LG, it was the compressor, my fridge is 5 yr old, so luckily LG warranty covered the compressor. My washer, bought it off for $175.
My latest issue was the ice maker, not covered, even though it's part of the fridge. Lastly, my ceiling fan, they generously offered $45 reimbursement after I have replaced it and show them a receipt. It is 2026, where can you buy and have a ceiling fan installed for $45. They get you with their low upfront price, but I might as well throw that money down the toilet, because this is not a warranty at all. Consumer Affairs should remove their logo from this company's site if they respect their reputation. The number of complaints and the reviews on BBB say it all as for how terrible this warranty company is.

I had a very frustrating experience with Select Home Warranty. I filed a claim for an item that was covered under my plan, but the way it was handled was completely unacceptable. The company determined that the item could not be repaired — without ever sending a technician to actually inspect it in person. Making that kind of decision without even evaluating the issue firsthand feels careless and unprofessional. What made things worse is that they did not offer a replacement, nor did they provide any installation support. So essentially, I was left paying for a warranty that didn’t deliver any real help when I needed it most.
Overall, the lack of proper inspection, support, and follow-through makes this service feel unreliable. I would not recommend Select Home Warranty based on my experience. Plus to cancel this policy one need to pay $75.00. And you will not find out about it until you read your contract or want to cancel insurance. The representative capped me on the line for 25 minutes, until I just hung up. It was very stressful.

You have to use their technicians and they don't have the modern equipment to diagnose or fix the problems, therefore you have to pay extra for the technicians to diagnose or fix the issues. You can't use outside technicians as they have claimed you could. That's a lie!!! Also they won't let the technicians order the parts, they have to order the parts themselves which are cheap and don't work or the wrong parts. They won't let the experts order it, so they can save money.

I signed up expecting convenience and peace of mind, but this has been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had. The online portal is essentially useless. They push you to use it, but after you submit a claim, you can’t track updates or progress in any meaningful way. Instead, you’re forced to call anyway—where they make you repeat everything you already entered and then try to upsell you on services that aren’t even part of your plan. It’s a complete waste of time. Scheduling a technician takes far too long, and even when someone is finally assigned, there’s a good chance they won’t show up. When they do, they often point out that most of the issue isn’t covered, which defeats the purpose of having the warranty in the first place.
In one case, a technician came out, collected the service fee, and never returned to fix the problem. When we reported it, the company kept routing us back to the same technician and expected us to pay another $75 service fee for him to come out again. This person clearly should not be in their network, yet they continue to use him. We even had to hire our own technician after one of theirs failed to complete the job. We were told we’d be reimbursed, but after paying out of pocket, they added another hurdle—requiring our technician to get on the phone with them before they would consider reimbursement, despite us already providing a receipt. Overall, this feels like a system designed to delay, deny, and frustrate customers into giving up. It’s incredibly difficult to work with them, and the entire experience feels misleading at best. I strongly recommend staying far away.

The technician confirmed the blower motor failed, but the company reclassified it as an “electrical issue” to avoid paying. I’m now stuck with a $750 bill out of pocket. When I called to escalate, I was told the decision would stand. When I asked to cancel, they refused to process it and instead tried to argue and sell me on keeping the policy. The call went in circles with sales language instead of actually helping.
At one point, the rep (Abraham Adams) even sent me a discount shopping portal for brands like Nike and Puma while I was actively dealing with a denied claim. Completely inappropriate and honestly insulting. Bottom line: I paid thousands for “coverage” that doesn’t actually cover anything. Claims get denied on technicalities, cancellation is difficult, and support is more focused on retention than resolution. Save your money and skip this company.

When purchasing our plan we were told that if an appliance is not reparable they will pay for the replacement. I specifically ask, would it be prorated for age and I was told no it would not be prorated. However, when our built in microwave was deemed irreparable they prorated it because it was 5 years old to $95. The only replacement we could find to fit in the existing opening was $325. When reading our contract it clearly state in the first page they cover repair and replacement costs. In the microwave section it states the same. Many pages later in small print it states that Select has the right to choose the repairmen, and if it is deemed irreparable Select can prorate the cost due to age of the appliances.
So after the salesman bold face lied to us and the contract is excessively deceptive!!! Several times in the contract it states repair and replacement costs are covered. They negate all prior information in the closing of the contract. I strongly recommend you do not choose Select for your home appliance insurance, there are no US phone numbers to reach out to for help, only a Philippine call center that will only read from scripted sheets. I ask several questions and was given the same response verbatim. Don’t waste your time, efforts or money on this company. I won’t even go into trying to get my refrigerator repaired. Same deceptive practices!!!!

Most companies will tell you anything just to get a contract signed. Do not trust these companies. This home warranty company told me that my pool would be covered for repairs. If there is a existing problem with an appliance, it will not be covered even though you were informed it would be. Well, the repair did not happen because the pool was not covered at the time of request for the contract. I waited 30 days for the contract to become activated. Once activated, I placed a claim for my pool. I received a message that my pool was not covered by the contract. Make sure what you want covered is actually in the contract. I closed my account because of this issue inclusive to repair being denied.

I've called and texted him multiple times with no response. I called SHW this morning to report his no-show and their rep tried to contact him as well and got no response. Now my ticket is being "reassigned" to someone else and I need to wait ANOTHER 24-48 hours again just to get a response so that I can reschedule the service. Totally unacceptable!
All the reps read from the same exact script and sound like parrots. I've asked to speak with a manager twice and was told there "was no need because they could help me" and then they both proceeded to read the exact same script. If SHW assigned a rep that no-showed, they should get someone out there the next day, not put the client back at the beginning of the line and make them wait all over again just to schedule another appointment. They need to fire the assigned tech as he is worthless, totally unprofessional and rude. He couldn't even be bothered to call or text. I'm so disappointed I picked SHW to do business with.

Also, you have to have someone fix it and then send them the invoice, they will send you a reimbursement sheet, you fill this out and then eventually they a small amount of what you were put out.

I have paid over $1,200 for this policy and have not received any meaningful benefit from it. Each time I submit a claim, either the issue is deemed “not covered” after waiting 3–4 business days, or an inexperienced technician is sent who cannot properly diagnose the problem. As a result, I end up paying out of pocket every time. For example, I had an HVAC issue. The technician said it was a thermostat problem and that I needed to pay $465 for the replacement—even after coverage was approved. When I asked why the thermostat cost that much, I was told it didn’t matter what type it was; I simply had to pay that amount.
In another case, I filed a claim for a broken garage door opener part. I was initially told the part was not covered. I clarified that I had misnamed the part and that the pulley was actually broken, which is covered. They agreed, but I received no follow-up for two days and had to call myself. I was then informed that I needed to hire my own technician to diagnose the issue before they could determine whether it was covered. Overall, the service has been frustrating and disappointing, and I have not received the value promised under this policy.

This company is all about gathering the annual membership, and NOTHING about resolving claims and/or taking care of their customers. In the prior year I have had 3 experiences that required a claim be submitted. The first I dropped after receiving an email telling me they couldn't help me. Recently, I submitted two claims - one for my microwave and the second for my double oven (both installed in our new build home at end of 2019). They refused to allow me to use my own vendor, even though I said I would pay for any upcharge of the service fee. I live in a very small town, and there just aren't many people I trust to take care of our appliances.
Anyway, they forwarded my request to a company in a nearby town, and I received a communication requesting I share two times available for the tech to come visit us. I responded with the required info and heard nothing for a week. I tried calling the repair company (actually a furniture store - NOT an appliance store), left a message, and never heard back from them. I did however, receive an email from Select saying they would cover $95 for me to purchase a new microwave, as the cost of the repair would cost more than the unit was worth. I researched and a replacement would cost over $3K. Not an option for me. I called Select to find a resolution for both of my issues.
Meanwhile, I collected quotes from my local vendor to repair the units. The microwave repair was $300 and the oven (including the part replacement at vendor's cost) was a little over $700. Select told me to go ahead and submit the two quotes to their claims department, which I did. They indicated they would get back to me in 1-2 business days. It's been over a week now, and nothing. I've tried going online to my account to see if they would respond through my account as opposed to my email (which is how they've communicated previously), but I can no longer get in.
Yesterday, one of their sales personnel had the unfortunate luck of the draw to call me regarding my upcoming renewal. Would I consider a renewal of an account that promised my a service, and provided me nothing but aggravation for over $400 a year? Absolutely NOT!

When I tried to cancel the policy, I was met with resistance and extraordinarily pushy sales tactics trying to get me to buy more coverage. It took 20 minutes of saying no to the person who claimed to be a manager to finally state that they would close my policy and refund the unused portion. I would then receive an email confirming this and a phone call from a manager an hour later to confirm the cancellation. I immediately received an email asking me to refer other people….really?.
An hour later I received a phone call from the manager who once again tried to pressure me into buying more coverage and getting discounts on appliances that I didn’t need.

Do not purchase this warranty. Total scam. It will take you a minimum of 3 weeks to get repair done. First you call them January 26. They finally send a repairman on January 29 after arguing with them that February 4 not acceptable. The repairman came on January 29. He called Select Home Warranty in front of me and told them what was wrong with the refrigerator and emailed them a copy. They don't trust the repair people they sent. They then reviewed the information their repairman told them. I called them on February 2nd to check. They were still deciding if they could trust their own repairman. Called back on February 3rd. They said part approved again and ordered. I received email from encompass parts. No parts came. Called encompass on February 9th. They said no parts can be shipped. On hold until paid for.
Again called select warranty. All they say is we ordered on february 3rd. After an hour on phone I was told they would call me back. Guess what? No call back. Called encompass on February 10th. Still no order status change. Again called select warranty. Finally got a supervisor and got same response. They said they will call me back. Let's see. 2 weeks so far. No parts shipped. When they do finally arrive I can call repairman and make appointment for repair. This is the second time I have needed a repair. Last repair was on my washer after a month they said, "We are not going to fix. We are sending 200.00." Case closed. Unless you like fighting and waiting to get a repair don't buy this warranty. Buy a warranty that you get to hire the licensed company for the repair and the company can get approval over the phone for parts and labor. Steve C

I bought my house in August 2022. I bought this policy because I knew the heating and cooling systems were 20 years old. I do not have maintenance records from before I bought the house, and I was not aware that I needed to do maintenance, now that I know, I will make sure that it is done. The air needed parts replaced in the summer and this did not fix the problem. Now my heat has been out for a week during the coldest days of winter and because I do not have the records from before I bought the property, instead of the $3000 I am supposed to get to replace the unit, they only offered $150. This company will do anything to not have to pay for claims. Do not waste your money. I will be putting this review everywhere I can to warn people to not use your company.

You know how they say when something sounds too good to be true, well, say hello to Select Home Warranty. Because I have never used a warranty company and had American Home Shield for a number of years without a claim, I wasn't prepared for the song and dance I received when requesting coverage on my AC system.
Although I had routine service done on my AC system, I only had one of the routine service invoices to show. I did not know the questions to ask when I signed up for SHW. When my claim was rejected, I was told that on page 10 section 6 explained the coverage. Perhaps, they should have sent the coverage document when I signed up. I made a mistake by switching from American Home Shield before knowing the exclusions. You see, my sister had AHS for years and never had issues with exclusions but AHS was slightly higher and I chose saving a few bucks by signing up with SHW. I will wait for the class action to appear and try to get my money back.

Read your warranty very carefully. I had a problem with my air conditioner. They denied coverage because it had been diagnosed as an electrical problem. When I brought it to their attention that the warranty states that electrical systems and parts are covered by the warranty, they said Paragraph 9.1.2. states that "this agreement does not cover any systems or appliances that have had "previous repair" or etc., etc., etc. The unit was 20 years old. I bought the house 11 years ago. Then a few months later, the heater wouldn't come on. Again, no coverage because paragraph 6.3.3. has an exclusion for zone heating systems. So if you have dampers installed that separate the 1st and second floors, you have a zone system. I don't need a warranty for the little stuff that they might cover. I don't know what that might be as of yet. I need a warranty for when the big stuff breaks down or needs to be replaced.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS DECEITFUL LYING COMPANY. This is an absolutely despicable, evil company. Our heater stopped working in below freezing temperatures. SHW sends out a technician of their choosing, who I stayed with during the inspection, who told me exactly what the issue was, general wear and tear. He told me there was no reason it shouldn't be covered.
Fast forward to 24 hours later and we're still waiting on a decision from SHW. After speaking with the heating company, we were told that SHW had been calling them non-stop trying to find a reason not to cover the repair, coming up with different scenarios that wouldn't be part of our coverage. The heating company let us know this because they knew they were being deceitful and wanted us to be aware. They dragged their feet for days, mind you, it's below freezing and I have a family and I'm worried about the cold temps leading to other issues or repairs.
Finally on Friday afternoon they tell us they've denied the claim, their reasoning was that it was a zoned home and that it wasn't part of our contract. It's not a zoned home, we debunked that on the call. So then they switch their story to the use of the word "maintenance." The heating company used the word maintenance instead of repair in their report and SHW used whatever definition of the word they wanted to, even though the heating company explained to them that it was just general wear and tear and should be covered, to deny us. Now, it's been days without heat because they dragged their feet with a decision and it's going to be -17 degrees this weekend and I can't get anyone out until next week. This is an evil, heartless company.

I’ve dealt with many bad businesses, but Select Home Warranty is the first company bad enough that I’m writing my first review ever. This wasn’t my only claim or my only bad experience with them, it’s just the latest example. This wasn’t a one-off mistake, it’s how they operate. For my HVAC claim, I eventually paid out of pocket and submitted for reimbursement as instructed. Even though the reimbursement amount was modest compared to the actual repair cost, Select emailed me on Jan 1, 2026 saying to allow up to 30 days for the check to arrive. It’s now Feb 5 and there’s still no check. When I called, they changed the story to “30 business days” and suggested I might not get paid until mid-March. If you’re buying a home warranty for peace of mind, understand you may be signing up for the opposite. I do not recommend Select Home Warranty.

**Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (Zero if I could)** If you enjoy paying monthly premiums for the privilege of doing all the legwork yourself and then being ghosted, Select Home Warranty is the company for you. For everyone else: **run.** My experience has been a masterclass in incompetence and bad faith. Here is why: The "No Contractor" Loophole: Twice, I had issues at my rental property. Twice, Select Home Warranty failed to find a contractor. I was forced to pay $169 out of my own pocket for an independent contractor just to get an estimate.
The Documentation Trap: I provided a comprehensive report from my contractor detailing the issues, the fixes, and the itemized costs for labor and materials. Despite having everything, SHW called me back "asking for more information." I’m not the technician—they had the technician's report. It’s a transparent stall tactic. The "1-2 Business Days" Lie: On January 25th, I was told I’d hear back in 48 hours. I called 8 days later, only to be met with total amnesia. It’s like our previous conversations never happened. The "Back Office" Void: Their favorite script is "it's with the back office." In SHW-speak, the "back office" is where claims go to die. No one takes notes, no one follows up, and no one cares that they are sitting on my money.
The Bottom Line: You aren't paying for protection; you're paying for a headache. They are happy to take your premiums, but when it’s time to pay out, they disappear into a cloud of "processing" and "missing info." I am canceling immediately. Save your money and just put it in a savings account for repairs—at least that way, you won't have to deal with these scammers.

I have been a customer of Select Home Warranty for about 5 years. I bought the policy because the condo I moved into was filled with all original appliances at least 20 yrs old. In those 5 years I submitted 4 claims - washer, dryer, refrigerator, and microwave. I had multiple issues with this company....
1. Each claim was a hassle to submit and actually receive a response within a decent amount of time. This was especially frustrating with the refrigerator when food actually spoiled while waiting for a technician to even be scheduled.
2. The only appliance I received any reimbursement for was $45 for the old microwave. I was not reimbursed for any other issues and ended up buying a new washer, dryer, and refrigerator - sometimes WEEKS after actually needing one when they stopped functioning but answers from the warranty company were never timely.
3. They actually try to charge you $75 to cancel your policy. You cannot cancel online. When I did call, I had to wait 20 minutes for an agent then was transferred to 3 different people even though I explained I was canceling to every one of the people who answered. And every one of the people I talked with tried to change my mind and offered a "wonderful" deal which was hardly wonderful.

Be extremely careful while choosing Select Home Warranty. My old A/C unit stopped working and the technician spent over an hour to diagnose the problem and finally found out that the unit needs a replacement. The technician was with SHW for around 30 minutes discussing the diagnosis and immediately made a decision that the problem with the air handler is not covered by the warranty program. Not sure what else is covered!!
In another incident our bathroom sink was clogged and had to wait for 5 days for the technician to come. He saw the sink and left right away saying he had to come another day to fix the issue. They expect you to live with the problem forever. Finally I bought a drain solution from Lowe’s and unclogged the sink myself. Yes, the program is budget-friendly but what is the point if they don’t cover almost anything when it comes to replacement and severe delays and not customer-friendly for other repair issues?

1. Claim they cover and replace old appliances-they don’t! They will deem the item as too old or not worthy to be fixed and send you $150 towards a new appliance. I experienced this first hand with my washer, dryer and stove. When I reminded them that’s not what they said when I signed up they told me it was in the ‘fine print’, which you don’t get to see until you sign up!
2. Claim they have many contractors in your town and sending someone out quickly won’t be a problem-not true. Contractors can’t stand them. They don’t communicate with each other and while SHW says one thing, the contractor will say something completely different. Starts with trying to book an appointment. SHW will send out a form for you to select 3 days and times that work for you. The contractors have no access to that and will come on a completely different day and time not considering your preferences at all if it doesn’t fit their schedule.
3. Two winters ago we had to wait over 2 weeks to get someone out to fix our heater. Our house was 50F for 2 weeks!4. This past winter we had a toilet leak. Company came out and just replaced the wax ring. A contractor friend looked at the pictures and said the flange should be replaced as well otherwise a pipe could burst. I called the HSW plumber and he said all HSW covers is the wax ring.
5. If they can’t find a contractor to come do a diagnostic check they tell you to get your own done and they will reimburse you. Still waiting for my reimbursement, two years later. When I asked for it they said they never promised me a reimbursement.
6. You have to go through MULTIPLE steps to receive your claim check ($150). First they send out an email saying a check has been approved. Keep reading your email because at the very bottom you have to click on a link to confirm you want the check. Then comes another email at some point and you have to click on a link AGAIN for the check to be processed. Then you have to make sure the check actually arrives. You may forget about it though because it takes up to three weeks to receive it. Mine never came. After multiple emails and phone calls, 6 months later, I finally got my $150 check. Worth all this trouble? Probably not, but at that point it became a principle because by now I have figured out how they make their money - they count on busy people not bothering reading their small printed emails, clicking on links and waiting for their checks.

This company is extremely misleading and dishonest. When they sell the policy, they advertise it as “full coverage” for appliances — washer, dryer, refrigerator, HVAC system, water heater, and more. Everything sounds covered when they take your money. But the moment you file a claim, they suddenly say “this specific part is not covered” and point you to some fine print section in the policy. This is nothing but a trap.
How is a normal customer supposed to know every internal part installed inside an appliance? Am I expected to open my washer, dryer, refrigerator, or HVAC system just to identify part numbers before buying insurance? That is completely unreasonable and unrealistic. They sell coverage by appliance name, not by individual parts — but deny claims by hiding behind technical exclusions. This is a classic bait-and-switch tactic. Very bad experience. Waste of money. Do NOT buy insurance from this company under any circumstances. Unfortunately, there is no option to give negative points. If there was, this company would receive it.

I explained that section paragraph 10.1 listing their limitations on repairs or appliances would be the clause to be enforced if it came to the claim, not the trust me, that clause doesn't apply to you wasn't good enough for me. I asked for the policy to be cancelled and I was then ghosted by the original sales rep. I called and after an hour long conversation I was told the policy would be cancelled and I would receive a full refund.
A week passed and I hadn't received anything so I called again. This time the person I spoke to told me the cancellation had been cancelled by a manager because he wanted to speak to me. I told him I don't need to speak to anyone else, I wanted the policy cancelled immediately. I was told again that the policy had been cancelled and I would receive an email confirming this within 1-2 business days. I waited and received nothing. I called again and a new "customer loyalty" representative fought me on cancelling the policy. He did confirm the previous person hadn't cancelled the policy. After 25 minutes on the phone, he finally said he would cancel the policy and that I would get an email in 1-2 business days.

I am a customer of Select Home Warranty (policy **) and am extremely disappointed with my experience. I filed a claim for a failed heating system during winter conditions, with outside temperatures around 20 degrees. Select Home Warranty identified and approved a technician, whom I used as directed. Despite the issue being a covered failure under my policy (the heating system motor), the company delayed approval for over a week, repeatedly requesting additional information and creating unnecessary back-and-forth. Given the urgent situation and the fact that I have elderly parents in their 80s living in the home, I could not continue waiting without heat.
I proceeded with the repair using the contractor they assigned due to safety and health concerns. After the repair was completed, Select Home Warranty denied the claim, stating that it was not approved because the repair had already been performed—despite the failure itself being covered and the delays being entirely on their side. I feel misled and treated unfairly. The lack of timely decision-making placed my family in a difficult and unacceptable situation. I am requesting that Select Home Warranty review this case properly and contact me to resolve this matter.

I’ve had a very poor experience with Select Home Warranty and would not recommend them. Since December 27, I have contacted Select Home Warranty repeatedly regarding an issue with my coverage. I paid for the Platinum plan, which made sense given my home has major appliances and systems (washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, plumbing, heater, HVAC, etc.). There was absolutely no reason for me to purchase the Gold plan.
After nearly two weeks of calls and assurances that someone would “call me back within two days,” I was finally told that I was sold the Gold plan instead. The policy was sold over the phone, so if that is true, it was clearly an error on their end. To make matters worse, my refrigerator was successfully serviced last year with no issues, which strongly suggests the policy was originally set up correctly.
Now they are claiming I had “30 days to dispute it” and that there is nothing they can do. This is unacceptable, especially given the repeated delays, lack of follow-up, and the fact that I’ve called at least 10 times trying to resolve this. Every call results in excessive apologies but no action, no follow-through, and no accountability. Emails are not returned as promised, and issues are dragged out indefinitely. This has been an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. Based on my experience, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere for a home warranty provider.

A dishwasher claim was denied because it was found to be a "maintenance" issue, even though it was less than a year old, and the drain pump went out. Everything, so far, is found to NOT be covered. They can call something/anything a "maintenance" issue to escape paying a claim. This company very misrepresents itself and what is covered. It is a HUGE ripoff and scam.

We called in a claim on 12/4/25. It is now 1/6/26 and we have zero resolution. One tech came out and stated they needed to order a mother board. Never heard from that company again. Tried calling Done Rite appliance with no response. Called Select Home and they state they never received any photos, documents anything pertaining to our claim. They scheduled a tech to come out 1/1/26 between 3-5 PM. Never showed up, Call again they have the same company schedule 1/5/26 between 1-4. They never show up.
Called Select again. You get the same scripted apology. They schedule the same contractor for 1/6/26 between 12-4. Wake up on 1/6/26 to a text from said contractor who canceled.

I signed up for a 3-year subscription and paid $1755.00 in full up front for a home policy. After two years of no claims, I had a pool pump problem. I contacted Select but was told they were to busy to inspect it and if I would have my own inspector look at it they would send me $100.00 to cover the inspection. Here it is months later and Select has not sent anything. I sent the inspection report to Select which showed damage repair would cost $1100.00. After a few weeks I contacted Select and was told I would receive a check for only $400.00 in about two weeks. It's now several months and several calls later without answers or payments promised. So, after spending $2955.00 for a policy and a claim, Select has paid nothing and won't respond. Beware of this company!

I would like to warn any consumer interested in purchasing the Select Home Warranty program. I experienced a very dissatisfaction experience with Select Home Warranty in a recent issue with my HVAC compressor unit. According to the policy under 6.2.2 they would cover the failure of a compressor unit up to $3000. I provided them with the technicians notes showing that the compressor was failed and also provided them pictures of all the electrical outlets power and a picture that there was a surge protector in line with the compressor. I also provided them a video of the technician isolating, the compressor using a megohmmeter to show that the compressor was the mechanism of failure, and proving without a doubt proving without a doubt that the compressor had failed.
However, they have a clause under 9.2 stating that their policy does not cover an electrical failure. Over multiple conversations with the company and with all the video and pictures and statements showing that the compressor was the mechanisms of failure, they refused to honor coverage. I asked them in their contract. They listed out multiple items like wall, outlets, switches, garage door motors, dishwasher, motors, washer, and dryer motors, pool pump, motors, ceiling, fans, and other other elliptical motor devices that could fail and they would use the 9.2.2 clause about not covering electrical failure.

I've filed 2 claims for 2 different appliances and the repair experience was ABYSMAL! Filing claims online is easy enough, it takes just a few minutes once you're logged into their website. BUT Select Home's claims managers are located in an Asian call center with very poor English and difficult to understand on the phone particularly when many other claims managers are prattling in the background during the calls. The first claim was a repair on a Whirlpool dryer that took 2 initial assessments by 2 different venders and 3 services calls to finally resolve the problem. The issue was a very common but somewhat challenging part replacement on the dryer.
The first service technician did not speak English and had to use a translation phone app to communicate with me. The second technician identified the problem immediately but had to charge me another deductible for the second assessment before parts and repairs could be completed. It took about a month to get the repair made and claim closed. The second claim involved a GE oven that electrically arced, frying an indicator light and tripping a 50 amp breaker. The first technician (Refrigeration Plus LLC) did the initial assessment, but did not test or diagnose anything, failed to properly identify the problem and clipped off the wires to the damaged light to "prevent a safety hazard". Select Home denied the claim saying indicator lights are not covered. I purchased and replaced the light myself, fixing the wires that the technician cut and what do you know...THE PROBLEM REMAINED!
The infinite switch had shorted causing the light to fry. GOOGLE IT! I reinitiated the claim, after an extremely challenging pair of phone calls to the Asian call center, it was assigned to the same initial service technician. I called the technician to explain the situation and schedule the repair. I told him what caused the problem, what parts would be necessary to fix it and that he misdiagnosed the problem. He copped a ghetto attitude with me claiming I didn't know what I was talking about and that infinite switches won't cause a breaker to trip. WRONG! I nixed him and told Select Home not to send him back, he's not allowed to work in my house again. They assigned my claim to a second service vendor (AC ALLSTARS TAMPA LLC). I attempted to schedule with them online, called and texted but they never responded and never arrived for any of the proposed scheduled time slots. EPIC FAIL!!!
After a month of this pathetic runaround, I ultimately purchased the necessary parts, replaced the bad lights and infinite switches and guess what...IT WORKS PROPERLY NOW. I contacted Select Home to explain the situation and provided them with the receipts for the GE oven parts. And they denied the claim and won't reimburse me for the parts (I didn't bother to charge my labor). They determined the work done for this claim was without the proper authorization, referring to section 7 of the policy, and that Independent Service Technicians are required for the repairs to be covered. WHAT A JOKE. The claims managers and service technicians that I've dealt with so far are hardly qualified. I DO NOT RECOMMEND SELECT HOME WARRANTY. Go elsewhere or simply hire a trusted local appliance service vendor, get it done right the first time and avoid the cost and aggravation.

If I could give them 0 stars that would be more appropriate. Terrible service and not a customer friendly business model. I purchased a home warranty from these people Jan 2025. I submitted a claim in December 2025 to have a dishwasher looked at. The service provider (Bush's Fix It All-Charlotte, NC) that they eventually found never contacted me to setup a visit to look at my dishwasher. I called the warranty company back and they called the provider (Bush's Fix It All-Charlotte, NC) directly and formed a 3-way call. The guy literally could not be nailed down on a schedule. This happened twice with the same provider (Bush's Fix It All-Charlotte, NC), he just wouldn't commit to the service.
The customer service rep being on the second 3 way heard the whole conversation. She listened to this guy (Bush's Fix It All-Charlotte, NC) waffling and not committing to servicing my appliance. She promised to find a different service provider within a few days, but no one ever called me back or tried to get in touch with me about this service. In the meantime, I started getting these emails from Select Home Warranty vowing to close the ticket if I didn't contact them in 5 days. The right hand clearly doesn't know what the left hand is doing. If you don't have reputable service providers, (Bush's Fix It All-Charlotte, NC is clearly not one) you can’t really run a warranty company. So, I reached my breaking point with Select Home Warranty and decided to cancel.
When I called to cancel the policy, I got the usual reluctance to cancel, but I also was hit with cancellation fees and other charges that stole more than a 3rd of what I paid into the warranty in the first place. Here's how they took me to the cleaners.... I paid over $1400 for the warranty, kept it less than one year, submitted only 1 claim which never even made it to a service call. Yet the money that this company is keeping for itself will be more than $600 from the total. The refund is not going to be quick either, they are refunding by check within the next 30 days when I paid by credit card at the beginning of this year. An elaborate process setup to hold on to the customers money as long as possible to help their bottom line stable as long as possible, oldest trick in the book, all geared towards higher profits for them and less service for the customer.
I don't mind paying for service, but when I pay for it, I'd like to get something for my money. I lost more than $600 dealing with Select Home Warranty and I am literally walking away with no service provided. Be aware of doing any business with this company, you don't want the same thing to happen to you. STAY AWAY!!!!

Buyer beware. My water heater went out. SHW sent a technician who told me I needed a pump the warranty company didn't cover and I needed to pay $435. He ordered a part that did not fit, then reported to SHW that the unit needed to be replaced. SHW offered to refund me $175 to replace a $700 water heater I was told to purchase on my own. In all, I paid $1800 to replace my water heater. This is NOT a warranty. It would have been cheaper to pay cash for the repair upfront. The plan does not operate as a warranty that would replace a broken appliance. If an appliance is deemed unrepairable they calculate a depreciated value and require you to submit proof of purchase of a new unit before they refund you the depreciated value. Depreciated value does not cover labor.

Final got it cancelled after two weeks, now instead of refunding the money to my credit card, they said the refund is going to come via a check within 30 business days!!!!

This company is horrible. Do not buy any policy from Select Home Warranty. They don't actually cover anything, they will just pay out an amount based on their review of your item. "They are a warranty company not an insurance company." They offered me $150.00 for my refrigerator since they did not want to fix it. It cost $982.00 to fix. What refrigerator can I buy for $150.00 for a family of 7. When my garbage disposal broke, they paid me $80.00 and I had to get the plumber, pay him myself and buy the new disposal. To make matters worst, you only get the payout when you purchase the item and send them a receipt. What if I can't afford the item right away. The reason I purchased a warranty, so things are covered when they break down. They state normal wear and tear but when normal wear and tear happens, they don't want to pay for it.

When I bought it I was led to believe I would have no expenses if things broke, everything was covered. So I bought 5 years worth of coverage. I paid about $2363 for that. The coverage began March 2023. The policy was emailed to me, about 20 pages, after I bought it. I should have sat down and read it at that time, but even if I had a lot of it would not have registered as to what would not be covered.
Garbage disposal went bad, they would not fix it, just sent me a check for $75. Could not even buy one for that, let alone have it installed. Garage door claim, said my policy did not cover that. A year ago the furnace had a problem and they called it maintenance and would not pay. I had a plumbing problem, the shut off near the toilet handle broke, it was not covered by the policy. I had an attic fan go bad, sorry we do not cover attic fans. A couple of months ago my furnace went out totally. Repair guy found the heat exchanger was bad and the furnace was 18 years old so it should be replaced. Policy would not cover a heat exchanger. I was furious.
I had the policy for only about half the time and it did me no good. I was told when I bought if I ever was unsatisfied they would refund the rest of the money. I feel like I should have gotten about $1200 back... well not the way they calculated it. I was told probably a bit over $800. Today I got the refund and it was only $780. This company is a scam.

We had an extra issue and the furnace went bad and he was just natural wear tear. That’s why you buy these warranties and instead of paying us to $5000 for the HVAC for this replacement they try to pay $500 in that 500 was to mine by themselves. Based on the depreciated cost of the furnace of the furnace was old. I just could not explain or understand how they calculated the amount and why it is depreciated cost. It’s a complete scam.

⭐ 1-Star Review – Extremely Poor Claim Handling & No Accountability. I am extremely disappointed with Select Home Warranty’s handling of my claim. Claim #** was raised in March 2025, and I submitted the required invoice for $400 in April 2025. Despite completing all requirements on my end, the invoice has still not been paid. I have called Select Home Warranty more than 14 times regarding this issue. Every single time, I was told the same scripted response: “You will receive an email confirmation within 5–7 business days.” That email never arrived.
What makes this even worse is that three different supervisors contacted me and repeated the same promise—yet no action, no update, and no payment has been made to date. This experience reflects: Lack of transparency. Repeated false assurances. Extremely poor customer service. No accountability or follow-through.
A home warranty company should not require customers to chase payments for months after submitting valid documentation. This kind of behavior erodes trust and raises serious concerns about how claims are handled. I strongly advise potential customers to think twice before signing up. If this issue is not resolved soon, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter further through formal complaints and consumer protection channels.

Hands down the WORST warranty company I have ever witnessed. I have had American Home Shield and Choice Home Warranty as well. Select has no business being in any comparable value to these two. American Home Shield took too long to have a plumber come out for a major flood in my home which damaged the wood floors. Choice Home Warranty tried to get out of paying labor fees due to the part having a manufacturer warranty. You have to emphasize your desire to cancel services in order to get results. Select Home Warranty charged me the monthly premium for services and a service call fee but refused to repair a plumbing line that they claimed was a "maintenance issue." A plumbing line above a tub is never a maintenance issue. This is why we pay for professional services to begin with.
When I threatened to cancel services, they claimed that if I got another professional opinion they would reconsider. I had another plumber come out. They reviewed the claim where the plumber sent me a copy of the work order clearly stating that it was not a maintenance issue but rather a normal plumbing concern and the claim was still denied. I will be reporting them to the BBB and Attorney General office for failure to provide services that they are charging customers for. My hope is that this company is shut down completely by the end of the year.

This protection has proven to be ineffective and misleading for me. Although the policy implies that equipment will be repaired or replaced when it fails, in reality, no repairs were ever carried out. Instead, I was offered a nominal payout of $150–$200 for repair or replacement, citing the age of the equipment and depreciation, and that the repair exceeds the cost of the equipment, and you should also factor in that you already paid techincian $65, to tell you that it's better to replace. So at the end, you are left with nothing, even though I purchased a platinum plan. They cite article 8, which talks about depreciation, but they never disclose what method they use to depreciate equipment, which means anything more than 5 years will have very little value, but still not clear how they calculate $150 or $200 for individual equipment.
This approach completely undermines the purpose of having protection. Older equipment is precisely what is more likely to fail, yet the policy appears designed to avoid meaningful coverage by relying on depreciation to justify token payments. At the same time, new equipment is already covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, making this insurance redundant for newer items and useless for older ones. The only window this protection may help is when the equipment is 3-4 years old.
If the outcome is consistently a minimal payout rather than repair or replacement, then maintaining this insurance does not make financial sense. The coverage provides little real protection and fails to deliver the value it promises, and also, they do not have any transparent explanation (even though I asked 5 times) of how they calculate depreciation. I wish I knew this from the beginning, but unfortunately, the agent never focused on Article 8 and never provided information on how little will be reimbursed for equipment more than 5 years old. If you still decide to purchase it, discuss depreciation in more details, so you have better understanding what you are getting at the end.
