    This is the third time I filed a claim with the Select. We have been very pleased with the services. I recommended Select to a friend, who just signed up last month. (Note that I did not get any incentive for that.) Select provides great peace of mind for people like me that lack of handyman skills and are busy with kids and work. All representatives are very helpful.

    First repair technician responded quickly but then did not respond to my calls and could not be reached by the company. I was told I would be given a different repair technician and would not have to pair the $60 fee again, since you check was cashed. Person I spoke to was courteous and helpful, giving me options. I hope the scammer (first technician) is found so he can’t do this again.

    My dishware was broken and had leaks. I submitted a request on December 16 and It took a week for a technician to come and check. It took him another week to submit his report and finally on December 28, I received a decision from Select Home Warranty. I paid $45 as co-pay the day technician visited but throughout the follow-up, I was asked that I did not pay my co-pay. I had to ask them to talk with the technician to confirm first before making the claim. Sadly it was a painful and lengthy process.

Ext ** Jeremey ** VP operations both said their company is not liable for any action for people sent by them even bodily harm. All workers are licensed and carry their own liability insurance by contract except for Charlie.

    I had a plumbing issue in the tub on 2nd floor. Charlie Handyman came on 12/16/2019 at 6pm. Worked on faucet and plumbing of tub on the 2nd floor. Krystal ** a tenant was with him most of the time and she said he left faucet connections loose and left in one hour and said he would be back in morning 1st thing. The other tenant Amanda woke up in morning and saw water was was dripping from a AC vent on 1st floor. Called Charlie and he said he would be right over but never came.

    4 hours later at 12pm Krystal came home and the wood floor and ceiling were ruined by water mitigation from the plumbing leak. She called me and I came over. At 2pm a neighbor had just shut off the water. I called Holland plumbing who came over at 5pm and said Charlie handyman services did not know what they were doing in plumbing repair. I called Charlie and asked if he had plumber license and liability insurance required by SELECT HOME WARRANTY. He said he did not and hung up on me.

    Select Home Warranty refuses to pay for anything including damages by their worker. I need your help to get paid and expose this for other home owners using this home warranty SERVICE. Jeremey ** VP said even if he had injured someone or attacked them- SHW WAS NOT AT FAULT FOR ANY OF THEIR WORKERS CONTRACTED BY SHW ACTIONS. WOW.

    We contacted SHW on Friday. They had a service technician contact us that same day. We have an appointment set up on Monday (the next business day). I'll provide additional information once the repair is completed early next week. At this point it would be premature to offer a final "verdict" on the service since the repair is yet to be completed.

    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. However I still need to wait for someone to call me back and it has been days. There is something very shady and fraudulent about this company and I suggest no one use them. In future I will be putting $500 a year into an account and using that for repairs.

    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.

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.

    This has been a horrible experience, I have had to had multiple vendors come out to my home to try and get this resolved. Both vendors said they avoid working with Select, who is a horrible company that finds any loophole not to pay. The first vendor came out and took my service fee and then never returned my calls or Select's call. After having to contact select multiple times over multiple days I finally got a new vendor dispatched to me who charged me $30 for a part because he said he was "doing me a favor" because Select wouldn't pay him anyway. The part did not work and he refused to send me a receipt for the $30 I paid.

    I was told by Select that the 2nd vendor (Bush) informed you all that he charged me this, yet I have heard nothing about being reimbursed. I've spent many hours on the phone trying to resolve this issue and asked to speak to a manager multiple times and was never called back. I am absolutely disgusted that after almost a month of back and forth the "resolution to replace" is a $150 reimbursement for a dryer that I cannot buy with just $150.

    The claim to repair or replace is a complete sham and your company has zero morals or customer service. I prepaid for the year and I was told that if I cancel my ongoing coverage, I will not receive my $150 reimbursement. I've been very patient with this process; however, after speaking with your associates many times and hearing the same script over and over again I realize that this company is a scam. I will be reporting you all to the BBB and anywhere else I can to deter people from investing in you. I previously submitted a request via this portal to be contact and never heard back.

    Buyer beware! This company promises to cover all sorts of things and then fails to do so because of the fine print exclusions, some of which are so exclusionary that nothing can be covered. We bought a 3 year plan when we bought our 25 year old house. We asked 3 times about the furnace being covered. We were assured each time that, no problem, they'd cover it if it failed. They, at no time, shared the exclusions to its coverage until after we had purchased the plan. Those exclusions included 1) the heat exchanger (which is absolutely necessary for a furnace to work) and 2) rust and corrosion (which happens to just about every metal appliance or unit). So, 6 months in when the furnace failed, they refused to cover its repair or replacement.

    After hours on the phone, they insulted us by claiming they were used to people "trying to get over on us". We canceled the contract and forfeited $150 of what we paid and took care of the bill ourselves. This company is a total fraud... "Oh sure, it's covered" upfront but no it's not in the fine print which you only see after they have your money. AVOID at all costs. We never had this problem with American Home Shield.

I ordered the warranty for my client (I'm a Broker); I've dealt with other warranty companies in the past, but this was the quickest and easiest experience I've had in purchasing a warranty.

    Customer service is always helpful but could not find a repair person to look at our range. We had to replace the range in the end. I am happy to get a little of the cost back of the range due to having a warranty. When you need to send the issue back to customer service for a second time and again they cannot find a repair person, it would be helpful if they would pay replacement cost of the item.

    I purchased policy at realtor’s suggestion to offer to potential buyers. 60 days after purchase I had heat pump serviced. Tech found it was not cooling well. Tech ordered parts including freon. While waiting for parts I called Select for authorization. I received ticked number to put in claim for service and repair. I paid HVAC company and then out in request for reimbursement. Select did not return calls or emails. I had to make telecom appointments. Weeks would go by. Each clerk (5) had a different excuse. I contacted a lawyer, and NC state consumer protection who got same excuses. Claim was never paid regardless of contract. Do not buy. They don’t honor contract or pay.

    I've paid for a policy for 2 yrs. with SHW and the first time I filed a claim for my heating unit that's covered under my policy, they sent me through hell and back disputing the claim. I've talked to a total of 15 representatives since Oct. to Dec 2019 about replacing my heating unit, still to no avail. SHW is notorious for Discouraging, Deferring and Denying claims. They only want to pay $150 towards replacing my heating unit that is going to cost $3,000 to replace. Their explanation is because I failed to provide them with 3 yrs. maintenance records on my unit regardless of the fact that I've only lived here for 2 years. This company is a SCAM and takes total advantage of its customers. DO NOT buy a policy with Select Home Warranty because you will REGRET IT!!!!

    Signed home warranty contract 9/20/2019. Was told about 30 day waiting period. Our Florida weather cooled enough to turn off AC, open windows. Emo of October or beginning of November. Got hot again. As I have a serious lung disease I turned AC back on. No cooling occurred. Called Select. Referred a company to check AC. Company called me stating they did not come into our area. Let select know. Said I could get someone in my area, that anything over the deductible they would pay. Did get someone out. Did not charge me as unit was non useable as compressor and coils were bad. Got a 2nd opinion, and same diagnosis.

    Select reviewed paperwork submitted by AC service company. Agreed unit needed to be replaced. But they would not cover as it was within the first 30 days of contest. First 30 days was 9/20/2029 to 10/20/2019. The problem occurred at the end of October or beginning of November 2019. December 2, they emailed me they were reviewing the diagnostics submitted by the AC service company. On december 5 got an email from select stating unit did need to be replaced, but they would not cover it as it was with in the first 30 days.

    I called them stating it was after the 30 day waiting period, but they stated it was still in the 40 day waiting period. I said where in the contract did it say 60 day waiting period. I reviewed dates with them but they stated it would been active account after 11/20\2019. They collected monthly payments for. September, October, and November. I cancelled contract.

Now that my garbage disposal broke they are only offering me 100.00 to have it replaced according to them because of depreciation. I also said to them once I buy it will you install it, they said no.

    We had a simple matter of a dishwasher malfunction. First this company did not vet its contractor properly as he misdiagnosed the issue. I had to pay him $125 deductible (higher than any other company I know of) on the spot and he told me that same night he will go ahead and provide his assessment to the warranty company so he can come back in the next few days and either try to fix the dishwasher or replace it. Well, WEEKS went by and after a lot of phone calls to the contractor by myself and the Select Home Warranty, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!

    I was finally put in touch with another contractor by Select Home who was equally unresponsive. Finally, I went and found my own contractor that charged significantly less fees to come out and diagnose the issue. NOW, Select Home refuses to reimburse me for the double deductions. I have called again and again and again....they keep giving me some excuse and half the time their representatives either have not read the notes or act plain stupid.

    Select Home Warranty advertises that if you have a HVAC claim they will reimburse you $5500 for replacement. My HVAC unit could not be fixed and had to be replaced. Select would not give me any more than the maximum $150 for repairs. I paid more than $5500 for my HVAC that needed to be replaced. After many, many emails & phone calls trying to get Select to pay for what they advertise, to my dismay, I finally decided just to take the $150 reimbursement check.

    I then called to cancel the remaining 15 months of coverage I paid for. I paid $330 per year and received a check for $4.32. I was told there is a $75.00 cancellation fee, plus they deduct the $150 I received for my HVAC unit repairs. According to my calculations, I still should have received at least $130...NOPE $4.32.

Their contract also stated they cover up to 100 ft outside the home so where’s the logic? It never states a crawl space is excluded. Furthermore it states ductwork is covered... Pretty sure no one has ductwork running through their house tripping over it!

I was given a claim number and told someone would be in contact. After not hearing from anyone in over a week I called in to see what is going on. The girl that took my call was rude and spoke to me like I was illiterate and couldn't understand what she was trying to explain to me. She was short and only provided me information if I asked her specifically.

    I was basically told that my dishwasher wouldn't be covered because I said it broke the 20th of November (which I dont have the exact date being moving is so hectic) and my policy didn't go into effect until the 27th of November a whole month AFTER they took my money and I paid for it. So basically for a week difference the company won't cover it. No one treated me this way when they were taking my payment though. I absolutely regret going with this company and DREAD any future problems and having to deal with them. I will be requesting a refund and looking into a different company. Horrible customer service.
