    I have never experienced such terrible service & buyer be aware. The very fine print needs to be carefully read before signing a contract with this company. My AC went out. I hired one of the approved Home Select service companies to come out and look at the unit. I paid them $60 out of pocket. They said the unit was not repairable. Select Home then asked me for three years service, maintenance records, etc. I provided everything. The most they said they would reimburse was $150. I was not happy; but was willing to accept. Even after I provided all the records I received the round around for over 3 months & never received any money. I tried again today (1/9/2020) & now they say my contract just ended; so they can't even consider the "old" claim from 2019 unless I purchase another new contract! Good money spent for nothing but a bunch of wasted time & aggravation.

    I called to make a claim that my Refrigerator unit was leaking. After they sent out a technician 4 days later with one of their companies they communicated that the lines just needed to be unclogged and cleaned. This did not work so we had to have the third party Refrigeration company come back out and evaluate that the whole fridge needed to be replaced.

    Then I waited over two weeks before ever hearing from SHW. I called and they said they were waiting on the Refrigeration company. So I called the Refrigeration company and they said they were waiting on SHW. No one wanted to resolve the issue! Finally, I called SHW back (almost a month after the initial claim was submitted) and they sent me an offer of $185 to replace my refrigerator. What? $185? What am I supposed to buy with $185? The ice maker alone costs $180 to replace in that fridge. I read the terms and I know that they base the value of your appliance on the depreciated price of your unit. But they also say in 10.1 of their terms the amount of claim payout for appliances is up to $500. I asked for a manager and requested the full $500. They said they'd call me back. They never did so I called back. Then they said they'd review it and get back to me and they never did so I called back again.

    This issue started on Oct 31 and it took me constantly pursuing them for over two months for them to say the only amount they will give me towards buying a new fridge is $185 firm. No exceptions. This is where I conclude; WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY! It would have been better to save the over $1,100 dollars I spent on this worthless warranty and then I'd have enough to buy a fridge myself! Poor customer service, unrealistic reimbursement valuations, and waste of coverage. There are better ways to spend your money people.

    On Dec 23rd the heating AC fan motor stopped working, placed a call and was informed to go online and create a maintenance request. I explained it was an emergency. I was informed that it would take 2 to 3 days for one of their vendors to reach out to me and then for them to schedule an appointment to come out a look at the unit. Or the 2nd option would be to contact an outside vendor, pay the money up front and get reimbursed. Since this was an emergency and I did not want to wait until after the holidays I contacted my own vendor to do the work.

    I did get in contact with a guy from the Escalations department and he informed me that he would take care of everything and that he would be my direct contact. Once the work was finished and paid for I sent the guy a copy of the invoice... It was over 700.00.. Days later after numerous attempts to see what was going on, I got an email stating I was going to get 150.00 not the amount of what I paid out. The guy finally reached out to me after the new year and pretty much told me too bad and then I was pretty much out of luck!.. I have now written to the BBB and filed a formal complaint on how poor this company really is. They even have issues with their own vendors who have issues getting paid by this company....

    Although this company gets many good reviews please beware. Do not work with them. They give out false information, approve claims over the phone only to deny them when invoices are submitted for payment. They claim to record all calls but after repeated requests to pull recordings of calls to prove claims were approved they do not. Their contract states that you only need to pay a $60 service fee for covered repairs and all else is covered and then the refuse to pay labor although contract states nothing about labor not being covered.

    I have had two claims under the warranty I purchased totaling over $1,000 and they are only paying $86.00. I have dealt with 4 customer service / claims people and 2 supervisors and one manager and they all quote different rules/ procedures and policies for submitting claims. Each time stating He or She that I spoke to previously doesn't know what they are doing or didn't have authorization to approve claims. It's a total run around. Have been working with them since 10.28.2019 to get claims paid and they say they will pay then when following up a month later say they won't pay, only to cal someone else who says they will pay out the claim. It's now Jan 6th 2020 and no reimbursement issued.

    Updated on I have been an customer since December of 2019. I think I have received a good value for the service and customer service has been very good. I recently had a claim for a garage door opener that will not operate as of May 2020. I made this claim on line and the Vendor scheduled with me an appointment within 24 hours. I had the issue start on May 1, submitted the claim on May 5, scheduled the appointment on May 6, and the technician appeared on May 8th. The claim process was okay and the approval was given on May 11. The assessment was to replace the unit rather than repair. I have the technician coming back on May 15th to complete the job.

    My issue is that the claim requested states the problem started on March 1 so the claim pay was calculated based on within 3 months or only $150 rather than $400 which will cover the cost after my service fee. This is not accurate as I have not had the issue for 2 months but only 2 weeks. I called customer service to explain this and they are going to resubmit the claim for the higher amount which makes reasonable sense. If Select Home Warranty doesn't correct this oversight or entry error I will still be satisfied with them overall but unhappy with this decision.

    Original Review: Very impressed with the quick response and customer service. Representative was very knowledgeable and helpful with great options and competitive pricing. Excellent value for coverage and happy with service. Thank you very much for the peace of mind you are providing. Select Home Warranty has given us confidence over the next year.

    Our home's furnace stopped functioning on Christmas Eve, Dec 24th of 2019. We awoke on Christmas Morning to a home that was around 55 degrees, and put in a claim with Select Home Warranty immediately. We expected a slight delay, as we understand most businesses would not be running at 100% on Christmas Day. Select Home Warranty took two days to even confirm that they received our claim. They then told us that all of their technicians were unavailable, but could not give us a date when they would be able to send someone out. Customer service recommended that we find our own contractor, have that contractor call the SHW customer service line, and read off our furnace's diagnosis.

    We did that, and were told that we would receive a determination as to whether the fix would be covered within 48 hours. We never heard back in that 48 hours, so I called again. This time, the customer service rep asked me to send an EMAIL with the diagnosis. Which I did immediately. 24 hours later, we received a response email, asking us to submit pictures of our heating unit. I sent the requested photos MOMENTS after I received the request. I then got a response email saying that it would take up to 48 hours to review the photos!

    I then called the service number, and they gave me great news. The photos were already under review! Followed by bad news - looking at these photos would also take up to 48 hours! Thus far, I have been without heat in my home from Christmas Eve through today, December 30th. And what's worse, I STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THIS SIMPLE, ONE PART REPAIR IS GOING TO BE COVERED BY OUR HOME WARRANTY!

    They approved my request to be reimbursed $205. I'm currently waiting for the check in the mail.

    Original Review: Dec. 28, 2019

    This is a complaint about the fact that I will not be logically reimbursed the hard earned money we paid to have our plumbing fixed after waiting more than 3 weeks for your company to find a contractor willing to complete our claim. Only during my phone call to your company, while my technician was at my house, did you state that you have to approve our technician’s estimate or job description, but we never heard or was never notified that we need to have it approved before being reimbursed. I was under the simple impression that I would send you the invoice and receipt and then I would be reimbursed. Besides that, my technician didn’t even have the time, nor did his company allow him to talk to your approval department, which hung up on me anyway!

    This is the type of fine print garbage that your company seems to keep bringing up on me. I paid $2000 for my contract and all I got washer and dryer, which you only partially paid for. The HVAC wasn’t covered after you brought up your fine print crap and now this. How does your company live with ripping off good people out of their money? You are a multimillion dollar company and you can’t even fork over a measly $250 to pay for a technician’s work that you should have been able to contract out yourself?!

    You say it was in my contract that a technician needs to be approved before reimbursement, but how hard is it after waiting so long for you guys to find someone, would it be to just mention it, in an email, as a reminder, if I do find my own? This is bad service. Big time!!!! This is preposterous and totally unfair... I demand restitution for this ordeal.

    Updated on 12/28/2019: I wrote a previous review about the bad customer service and about there never being a technician available to come to my home. I called back today since it has been 30 days since the claim was opened. I was told that my warranty expired today, December 28, and they could not talk to me until I pay For another year. I explained that that the claims were opened when the policy was still in a fact and that I keep getting emails saying they are having a difficult time finding a technician to come out.

    They said it did not matter because the claim was “never approved”. I explained that I’ve been waiting for someone to come to my home but that they were not able to find anyone as of yet. I have those emails saying they are working on sending out a technician, yet none of this mattered to them. This company is definitely not acting in good faith. They are not providing the service they were paid for and they make it difficult and hope that you will give up. This is fraud.

    Original Review: I paid for a two-year plan. I filed a claim and the company that was assigned never contacted me. I was finally able to reach them and I was told they do not work with SHW any longer because they were tired of never being reimbursed. I called immediately to tell them another technician needed to be assigned and it has been over 30 days and no one new has been assigned. I keep getting emails saying they’re working on it and giving me the option of paying out-of-pocket and submitting the cost to them for reimbursement. Which left me doing all the work.

    Having a home warranty is supposed to make your life easier. I cannot find a company that has anything good to say about SHW. It seems to me that they offer this option so that they don’t have to do the work of assigning a technician to come to your home. Essentially they are being paid for a service that they are not providing. Finally when I mentioned the Better Business Bureau they put me through to the escalations department.

    Water Heater was installed in 1994; is now 25 years old. It's spraying water out the top and leaking from the bottom and rusting out at the bottom, but is still heating water (for now). Leaking is NOT covered. Disappointing, but we'll have to wait this out. It will have to self destruct before it's covered and we will have to experience the inconvenience of having no hot water some time soon, hopefully!

    Updated on 01/31/2020: They call with an estimate of approx. $427, of which I will have to pay $206 for labor. But when tech was here, I asked what the est. was going to be, and he said $269. So I get the big guy from Select Home who handles customers like me, after going over everything once again, he sarcastically says "why don't you just by a new dryer"? Then tell me to get my own tech out here and send the bill and they will pay their part of $221. I tell them that how would I trust that. So I would spend $75 for the tech to show up, and $206 for the labor, for a total of $281. Which is higher than the original estimate. Not to mention the $49.95 each month I paid for some 8 months up to the first claim. It is a scam.

    Updated on 01/30/2020: This company has been the worst experience I have ever had. I put in my first claim Dec. 26 2019. It is now Jan. 30, 2020. No fixed dryer yet, after numerous phone calls and e-mails and promises of the standard "within 24-48 hrs." I have had to continue to call and e-mail to get them to do their job, as it appears the left hand does not know what the right is doing. You will have to do the same if you put in a claim. I called today and told them to cancel my policy but I still wanted my dryer fixed, as I put in the claim over 1 month ago, though they promised 24-48 hrs. He told me if I cancel the claim today, the whole thing will cancel and I won't get my dryer fixed. THIS I BELIEVE IS ILLEGAL, AS I PUT IN THE CLAIM SOME 5 WEEKS AGO. Steer clear of this company. If you don't believe me, then sign up with them and put in a claim.

    Original Review: The phone operators were nice, but my ceiling fan claim was a joke. I was allowed $45 toward a new fan plus the deductible, and I have to pay someone (I'm a senior citizen) to put it in. So with the deductible and $45, this comes to $120 for a fan that would have to be extremely cheap compared to the one I have now. Plus I pay for the installation! Wow, what a great deal since I have been paying for around 8 mos. $50 a month to for the insurance so I can lose money on a ceiling fan in my first claim. Why they decided it was cheaper for them to have a new one instead of fixing mine is probably because they win and I lose money by using the insurance claim. WOW.

    I was pleased that someone was dispatched to call me, after trying to email twice and after 4 hours not getting a call. So I called Select instead of emailing again. The plumber who came out found the problem right away (I had a flood under my kitchen sink) and tried to find a new metal hose like the one the faucet had. Unfortunately he said that none of the supply houses had that type required. I told him I was having a big party for my grandson's 21st birthday and his being inducted into the Marines the next day. He told me, "well I could completely change out the faucet with a known brand...but I can tell you right now that Select will not pay for it~!" I was so appalled, because I had a toilet totally replaced when I had my previous warranty company. Finally I told him to go ahead, because I really needed a workable kitchen sink and needed to get the mess underneath in the cabinet and on the floor cleaned up, so I could prepare for the party.

    I truly wonder now if I did the right thing in changing Warranty Companies. I purchased the Platinum plan figuring it was the best coverage and would certainly include that coverage. I think that I will have to consider canceling, because I paid for a 5 year plan and I'm just into my first month's coverage and already have a problem.

    I HIGHLY recommend you DO NOT chose this company. We moved into our new house in 2017. We had a home warranty company when we moved in. When that warranty expired we started to look for a new company. We found Select Home Warranty and decided to give them a try. 6 months after we joined our AC went out. Mind you we live in Arizona and it's was August (115 degrees). So we gave them a call to see when we could get a tech out to fix it. Since it went out on a holiday weekend it took them almost a 5 days to get some one out to fix it.

    When the tech came to fix it he had told me want need to be fixed was not covered and the warranty company would not cover the full amount to repair it. It cost us 1100 dollars to fix the AC plus 3 days in a hotel till it was fixed. All that the company would reimburse us was 300 dollars. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS COMPANY!!!! Anything you have them do always take 24 to 48 hours to process and 15 to 30 days to send anything back. WORST mistake we have made. Live and learn I guess.
