On the positive side, our repairman, from Anchors Appliance in Miami, was knowledgeable and honest. On the less positive side, we learned that it would cost much more to repair our dishwasher than we anticipated, and we were offered an amount to settle the matter which was less than we would have liked but based on research was fair. For future reference we would not get this warranty service if our appliance was either too new (thus under manufacturer's warranty) or too old (thus not worth repairing).

Obtaining the home warranty was quick and painless! I feel at ease knowing my home is covered should any major issues arise. Owning a home can be expensive and having a home warranty can make the cost of home ownership a bit more affordable! The process of searching for a home warranty can be confusing and stressful but Select Home Warranty was honest and made the process simple and easy to understand. I feel confident that we chose the correct company!

Plumbing service. This was my first opportunity using Select Home Warranty. The only problem I had was that the original appointment was cancelled by SHW due to overbooking. So, I rescheduled the appointment for the following week, stating clearly that I needed an appointment after 1PM. Even so, I received a call that someone was in the area on the morning of the scheduled date, which I refused. With regard to the actual service, I was satisfied with the contractor.

I called and renewed to get the same price as last year per the email I received so I took advantage of it. The salesperson was a little pushy on the 3 and 5 year plans. I explained to him that I cannot afford the premium for those. I am sure they are a better deal but I didn't have that kind of money. I renew every year and he kept on.

If you live in a roule town, don't buy. Also don't buy multiple plans. When you cancel, your refund is based on THEM USING YOUR MONEY and a cancel fee + all policies will be cancelled even though nothing in your policy says so. Its an "internal policy". So in short, your money pays for all claims so before you expect a refund, which won't happen if your claims exceed what you paid, get everything fixed and get into their pockets.

It was very cumbersome contacting the many warranty companies, trying to navigate the different terms used to explain what is/isn't include in each policy, as well as listening to the numerous discouraging comments about rival companies. Michele was not one those offering negative comments, but instead kept to the elements of her companies offerings. Hopefully, when it comes times to use the policy, I will still be just as satisfied.

So my wife and I had thought by going with this company that it would be a great way to handle home improvement needs but have come to find out that they are nothing more than swindlers. Not only are their techs incompetent but the lack of communication between customer service and their techs is downright terrible. We had a tech come out to diagnose an issue with our washer which they did and they charged a $60 evaluation fee which we paid. The tech said that we might be able to get a whole new washer because it wasnt that old. However, we never heard back from either of them.
After countless tries to get this rectified Select Home Warranty said they would send a new tech (free of charge) to again access the problem and get the ball rolling with getting the washer fixed or replaced. Tech arrives and has no idea about the service fee being waived and refused to call and verify. When I called SHW with my claim number they pretended they could not hear me and thus hung up. Terrible company and do not recommend them to anybody.

Do not buy a home warranty with this company. THEY WILL NOT HONOR YOUR CONTRACT AND FIND LOOPHOLES NOT TO PAY OUT REPAIRS THAT ARE ADVERTISED. Pending class action lawsuit for fraud. Sure the ads say your AC unit is covered, but they will find one of the many loopholes in their service plan to deny you the reimbursement. That is if you can get one of their contract technicians to make a house call.
If by some miracle, a technician shows up, he will be so unqualified to make the repairs, you will end up calling your own company to fix the appliance. Then despite getting authorization for the work over the phone with the qualified technician speaking to the customer service rep, they will refuse to pay because the cost of the repair is over their assessed value of the appliance.
If you ask to see the depreciation breakdown because you know exactly how much it has depreciated, the customer service supervisor will hang up on you. After the promised call from the manager within 48 hours doesn't happen and you call a week later, the customer service rep will play dumb again. If I could, I would rate this company negative stars.

We finally dropped Select Home Warranty after 3 bad service call experiences in less than 1 year. For 3 separate issues we had problems either with the service contractors they assigned for the repairs, they didn't want to do the work, or exclusions in the service contract. I did not like that they don't share their warranty exclusions with the customer until you actually sign up for their services, so that is a negative right off the beginning. The service contractors that they use either don't show up to do the service, or they don't handle the specific repair needed, or they ask you to find your own contractor and pay them directly and Select Home Warranty will reimburse the customer a minimum of 30 days later.
The last call I made was for a plumbing stoppage. The first company they assigned told me they don't do plumbing work, the second company they assigned told me they are no longer contracted with Select Home Warranty and the third company never returned my calls to schedule an appointment. Select Home Warranty told me to find my own contractor to perform the repairs which I did. While the plumber was there and fixed the issue, he called them to tell them that the service was completed, the rep. from the Authorization Department was trying to get out of paying for the service asking the plumber was the stoppage done intentionally by us and if it was due to misuse. He told them no, it wasn't misuse.
This was the last straw so I had to wait another 5 weeks to get a reimbursement check from them and then I canceled my contract with them. They also put in my contract that my service call fee was $45 per service call but the Dispatch Department kept on putting on the paperwork $75 for the service call fee, so that also lead to problems as I show my contract to each contractor and had to call Select Home Warranty each time while the contractor was there for them to tell the contractor that they made the error on the paperwork. Very disappointed with this company. I do not recommend them.

My wife and I had two toilets one morning with the same problem: water leaking from the base. I called this warranty company to make a claim. One claim was setup for both toilets. Was told to expect an email to setup a visit from one of their contractors, and it would be $75 for the house call to diagnose. After that call, their contractor reached out to us. We explained the situation. He said he could actually come by same day and get it fixed since water was leaking, and waiting until Friday made no sense.
He came out, I heard him give a rep who was rude to him the diagnosis. In the meantime, someone at this warranty co had opened up a second claim. Apparently the warranty rep who setup the first claim neglected to tell me it would need to be two separate claims. Someone at this company then setup this second claim, with a second contractor, no one telling us that, and no one telling us what this meant for the $75 house call.
We moved forward with the first contractor, who diagnoses both toilets, but could not complete the work until the diagnosis was "authorized" - Select Home Warranty told us that. They also told us 24 to 48 hours on the turn around for this authorization. Over a week later, toilets still leaking, we get an email they've only approved $150. Then, hours later we get a second email saying we need to call them. We call, and the reps are totally clueless again.
Luckily the contractor they set us up with has been much more straight forward with us. We don't know what we'd do without him. Needless to say, we absolutely will not be renewing with this company, and if the seller of our new home new how shitty this company has been, I wouldn't blame them for wanting their $500 back. In short, these guys have totally failed to warranty anything other than taking our money.

Select Home Warranty (SHW) is a FRAUD!!! I had a Water heater go out Tuesday (11/19) evening and tried calling, but no prevail even though they are open 24/7. Submitting a case online and told in DETAIL of the issue. Wednesday morning I get a email from them that they notified their plumbing company and to select time slots. Then the plumbing company said that they can't get to me until Friday. I said that’s unacceptable and was able to get that plumbing company to come Wednesday afternoon. I paid the $ 125 service fee and the plumber sent his diagnoses to SHW. So why do I need to get approval to fix something that SHW referred to? Don’t they trust them? Thursday I have called them 8 times that I am still without hot water. They kept telling not to worry and they got my back. They PROMISED me that I will have an answer by the EOD. SHW assured me that they put it as an emergency and will get back to me.
There is no manager or supervisors to speak to when I called them after the fifth time. I called the plumbing company to see if they can go ahead and processed without them. He said I would have to pay the service fee again and wont get to me on Monday! All weekend with cold showers in November and thanksgiving is this week!!!! I have family coming in on Friday!!! Today is Friday 11/22 and I am still without hot water and SHW is still reviewing (10:00 am). For an emergency issue and it still pending???? I even cried that the plumber wouldn’t fix it till Monday because they are busy and if they had another company. SHW told me I had to go through the process all over again and to be patient for review. Told me not to worry and I will get a response by the eod. Countless broken promises from them.
I called them at 9am to speak a supervisor and they told me the person will call shortly. IT'S BEEN a hour. My father decided to call Home Advisor and they brought someone in 15 mins and installing it right now! Less than an hour another company is fixing something that SHW can't do. I am out of $125 and they are STILL REVIEWING!!!

I have been a customer for years and it's always the same problem; having to go without essential utilities for days or weeks. I wish that your company would find a way to expedite heat, water, and electrical problems. One solution is to really work with local contractors directly instead of what appears to be a robot randomly assigning tickets. I think a real person should directly call local contractors so they can get scheduled quickly for a minimum of next day service for these essential services. Taking 2-3 days to tell us who our contractor is, and waiting another 3-5 days for them to come make the repairs means your customers are without essential utilities for 5-7 days at a MINIMUM.

Buying a policy from SHW is probably one of the worst decisions I've made in a long time. They were happy to take my money and promise the world but when it came down to it they were unable to provide a contractor when I needed one, sent me instructions on how to proceed with a claim using my own contractor, then denied the claim despite the fact that I followed all their instructions to the letter. They sent a document listing "uncovered services" to support their denial.
The problem is that the "uncovered services" are NOT listed as such in my policy and even their own customer service and authorization "specialists" were unaware of them and told me I should be covered. They even denied reimbursement for the service call fee (despite my having a letter of guarantee), stating the letter of guarantee only applies if the contractor performs a covered service! When I asked about an appeal one customer service agent literally told me that it was not in their best interest to approve my claim!!!! I rarely post reviews but my experience with this company was so awful that I'd like to warn anyone considering them to save your money and find a better option.

They quote sub sections of their written warranty, however, they verbally advise that what is written and what they want are two different requirements. They disclaim all the thousands of complaints made to the NJ BBB and advise that anyone can make false claims to the BBB. Really? That many customers are upset enough to file a complaint with the BBB claiming fraud and a scam and all of those were sent in by people that haven't been truly scammed?

I am very disappointed with this company and would not recommend them. They are hard to work with. To get approval for a repair the wait time on the phone is very long and the issue has to be explained over and over to whoever answers the phone.

When you call to talk to company about problems you get people that are as bad as the contractors they hire. Every time you try to contact them you get a different customer representative, and evidently they don't record any notes because every time I call them I have to go through the past calls and details of my case. This case was first reported to Select Home Warranty on September 16, 2019 and it is now November 16, 2019 and I still have not received any money for reimbursement on my claim. I would never refer this company to my worst enemy.

The first time I had a claim with Select Home Warranty, they were good. I had a technician setup to come out the next day and it was a great technician. The process was a little cumbersome, since the online claim system isn’t great and I still had to finalize my claim over the phone before they would book a technician.
This time around, they have done everything wrong. I filed a claim on a Sunday night because my hot water went out. I heard nothing all day Monday and so I called on my way home for work Monday evening. It took over an hour of being on the phone, jumping between being put on hold and that there was nothing they could do about my claim in the moment, that they were severely backlogged and it was still under review. I wanted to talk to some higher and was told repeatedly that no supervisor was available. I was then offered a guarantee call back for later that night, within an hour or two. The callback never happened.
The next day around noon, I called to follow up. I was told, again, that there was nothing to do but wait - with no hot water - because it was still under review and they were backlogged. I asked to talk to a supervisor and was again told no one was available because they were all on calls. I was offered a callback and escalation and told I should here from someone by 6pm. I never did.
I called again at 6pm. I received the exact same lines about waiting and unavailability of supervisors. I spent and hour waiting on the phone until a supervisor finally talked to me. She escalated and approved the claim and said I should have an email with a technician by the next morning and that she would personally call back the next afternoon to follow-up. I never got an email and she never called back. Thursday, I finally got an email with a link to indicate me preferred windows of service. I immediately filled it out, but the company never made an appointment.
I called the service company Friday morning to follow-up. They informed me that they no longer service water heaters, they haven’t for a while, and they’ve told Select Home Warranty this a number of times. I called Select again, and had to explain to them that the technician they set up didn’t service water heaters. They set me up with a new company, who also doesn’t service water heaters. I asked to speak to a supervisor, and was again told that none were available. While on hold for a supervisor, I’m writing this review. I have no hopes that this will be solved by Select Home Warranty and will never buy a home Warranty with them again.

Didn’t like the fact that I had to find my own service provider. Pay them out of my pocket and having a hard time getting my reimbursement. I purchased a warranty so that if I had problems it would be hassle free. Have spoke to lots of people there getting off the phone so frustrated. The customer service department is the worst I have ever had to deal with. When speaking with other dept was better. I was even told that there was no one more I could speak to when asked for management. This is second claim I had to pay out of my pocket, after paying for services for about 1 year. When calling I have been asked to send same receipt about 5 times after I sent it and even had a ticket number then was told give them 24~48. I truly feel like some of the workers need more training and to care more about there jobs.
When I called to cancel my policy was first time someone tried to help me, and convinced me to just give them another chance and he would personally take care of me and any of my concerns but then the extension he gave me didn’t work. Maybe I write it wrong I was thinking but the the hours he said he worked someone said they don’t work those hours. Ok maybe it was a language barrier. But after weeks of trying to get my money I’m told to send that same receipt back that I sent or 19/24/2019.
I will send it again but I felt like I’m wasting my time and will never receive the reimbursement. Was even told that they had scheduled for someone to come out company stated they were never call. I hope and pray that other customers have not experienced what I have. I know everyone need to work so, I suggest maybe some customer service training. Jake, Matthew, and Paul just to mention a few if actual name. Have a great day and I hope this will make someone’s experience a lot better than mine. Thanking you in advance for hopefully improved Customer Service.

Your company is a joke. I purchased three years of warranties on four homes and every claim is either not covered or a small refund amount applies to the actual cost of me finding my own vendor to make repairs or replacements at my cost. Your process in finding reputable vendors is no better than any other home warranty company but I was assured when buying your warranties Select Home Warranty was better than any warranty company out there when it came to having reputable vendors. That isn't true.
I demand to be reimbursed for the balance on my warranties. Give me my hard earned money back and my policies do not expire until July/August of 2021! I spoke to your customer service department and your refund amount was $200, what a joke! I paid over 400.00 per year per policy. Why the government allows this type of consumer fraud is beyond me. Home warranties and car warranties should be closed. They're not worth the paper they are written on.

I was extremely dissatisfied with the company you contracted to fix my toilet. Customer service was terrible, not only did I wait for them to not show a couple times but I was also spoken to rudely by all five people I dealt with. When I called Select regarding this, I was told that because they already agreed to the job that I would have to use them. If this is the type of contractors you hire for this warrant program then I may need to look elsewhere.

I have had great service with Select for 3 years now. Every time I have called in a claim it's been a fast professional experience. Customer service is great as well! They call me at the end of my term each year and help me with my renewal and go over any changes or options I might want to consider to keep me informed of my policy. Everyone is always friendly and helpful as well.

Customer service blows. Like literally blows. They sent a tech to my house since my oven wasnt working. "OVEN". The tech said it was a gas valve. My stovetop and broiler work. I disagreed with this. They approved $150 for the gas valve replacement. It is not the valve. Hence, I can still cook on top and broiler. To speak to a supervisor is pulling teeth, two time I have been placed on a call back list, and yet... the phone operators can do nothing. I paid for my full year upfront. and at this point, do I get what little money back or do I keep fighting this and fighting this fighting this. Maybe someone will call me back with this review... Or I assume it will just be lost.

You have never resolved the problem in less than two weeks and you always say 24-48 hours but then send a letter at the 48 hr and said, "You have an option to get your own person to fix the problem and We will only reimburse 100." Then you never look for a contractor. I feel that this company does not want to fix anything and that they just pay people to talk to you that are not in the US to stonewall you. Do not use them if anything on your house breaks. They will not fix it.

I have looked into home warranties and went with Select Home because they have excellent reviews and cover everything I needed for my home including our in ground pool. I liked the fact that you could purchase a year's worth of coverage and get 2 months free added on to it. We are possibly selling our house in the spring time and wanted to offer the next owner the comfort and satisfaction that their new home would be covered for any future problems. I would recommend this for all homeowners.

We called and had several questions about the different plans. Richard ** was awesome, very professional and courteous. He was very knowledgeable and straightforward in the direction he pointed us into. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with what he advised us on and ultimately purchased. We decided on the 5 year plan which for us, is a great fit for our new home. We would definitely recommend to friends. Thank you for all your help.

I have not yet used the service, but I can say that Peter ** was very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I'm hoping the service is as awesome as he was to deal with. After reading the reviews online I'm assuming this is a great company to deal with. I had American Home Shield before and they were much more expensive with less coverage, and their rates went up without me knowing about it until I went to their website to check. I like that I was able to lock in a great rate for 6 years with Select Home Warranty.

I was told by several people that buy a home warranty is a good thing to do especially if you own the home. So I bought one, a good deal at that. When something is too good to be true it's for a good reason.. that because it usually is. So my furnace/heater went out on our air conditioner. The air conditioner/repairman that THEY contracted to show up TOLD ME TO never use this company and told me exactly what they would do. AND GUESS WHAT. They did.. They send me an email saying after all the information I provided and the repairman provided.. they were only going to give me 150.00 for the repairs and I am responsible for the rest.. seriously.. That's not what your sales guy said and you know it.. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! I will repost this on ever social media site I can find. They ripped me off.. I only had this policy since May. Never again.. Do not buy. We are a family of six and cannot afford bs lies like this.. Stay away!!!!

I contacted Select Home Warranty as well as other companies and looked at offerings, quality and pricing. I had a great offer from another company, but had an email from select as a result of leaving a message requesting a quote. I quickly got a call back from Richard. He answered my questions and provided me with a quote that was better than the other company. He was very professional & knowledgeable. I now have a great warranty that I can afford.

I set up service with Select Home Warranty with Alan ** who was very helpful and professional throughout the entire process! He was patient and didnot rush me, which was a bonus. He took great care in ensuring that I understood the warranty and breakdown. He answered all of my questions and provided detailed explanations. All that we agreed to was provided in the contract. Also, the service was the best price for all of the value.

I am very happy with the service representative I spoke with. I am unhappy with the fact that my furnace is not working in the first cold snap of the season (below freezing out!) and I have to wait 24-48 hours for service. I have a 72 year old mother, 5 adults and 2 children living in this house. It is COLD! There should be a way to get immediate help in a situation like this.
