Richard did a great job in explaining the coverage and different plan options. He had knowledge of specials and coupons that were available. He also told us about other discounts that we could use and explained them very well. He was quick, efficient, professional and knowledgeable. He set up our new plan quickly and answered all our of questions. He provided his direct contact information. Richard provided a great and easy experience in signing up for a new plan.

The customer service agent followed up concerning a new claim I submitted. He was very professional and courteous. He asked me for details concerning the issue and answered my questions regarding the process. I provided him with my tenant's name and number so that he could be contacted for scheduling with the technician. I have not heard back from the tenant or company so far because it has only been a day since the call. However, I have no complaints so far and would work with the customer service agent again.

Just bought the Select Home Warranty, David on the phone was very nice and very helpful. The phone call was a good experience, I will update or add to my review as the service continues. This home warranty covers more for me than my previous one and costs me less on the actual payment and service fees. My current home warranty is more expensive and covers less items, as of right now this one is a better option.

I had a contract with them and they sent over a company by the name of M J appliance repair. I initially had two issues I wanted taken care off. Both were handled by the same appliance company. They came and inspected my washing machine and determined that I needed parts which were ordered. My Ac unit was not working properly and the tech told me to buy a liquid from the store and run it through my AC pipes. I ended up with chemical burns on both my hands because I didn't know what I was doing. (Why didn't the tech do the work himself. In anger I cancelled my policy with SHW. I had a change of heart and came back to them within a week and wanted to continue my original claim re: my washing machine, they denied my claim because it was a prior existing condition (even though it was never taken care of the first time). They lost a customer because of a technicality in the contract. What I should do is sue them for the burns to my hands!

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company. They are nothing but a fraud. I signed a contract with them for 3.5 years. Paid upfront. They gave me VIP service. After a month - I filed my first and the only claim for plumbing issue. 20 days later they sent a tech - who broke my shower, stole my jewelry, took a part out of my shower and never came back. Numerous calls to the company and multiple conversation got me nowhere. I cancel my contract, after 1 month staying with them - they never refund me a penny! Lawsuit was filed with the Small Claim Court and won! The company never showed up!

Select Warranty company refuses to reimburse me for repairs.
10/24 - Air 300 plumber is assigned to the case, he comes out and states that the faucet needs to be replaced. I am charged $45 service call fee by Air 300 although Select Home Warranty has me on $0 service calls. The technician states that he needs approval from the warranty before he can do repairs.
10/28 - Air 300 confirms that Select Home Warranty authorized the repairs and we schedule the technician for 10/31 to perform the repairs.
10/31 - (The water now leaks from the top of the kitchen sink and from the bottom.) Air 300 says they don't have me on their schedule and that the repairs are not approved by Select Home Warranty.
10/31 - I find an independent plumber to fix the leak and get charged $250 for the repairs (out-of-pocket).
10/31 - follow up call to Air 300, they confirm that Select Home Warranty approved the repairs in the amount of $285.
11/01 - a call to Select Home Warranty, they state that I will not be reimbursed $285 for the repairs due to the fact that I didn't use their technician.

I was looking for a home warranty. I was quoted a monthly price and was told it covered up to 11K per year accumulative. They withdrew my 1st payment out of my account then I received my policy. The price that I was quoted was wrong, and nowhere did it state 11K was covered. I called and was told to call back the next day in which I did. I spoke with Ray again who is suppose to be a supervisor who was well aware of the problem in which he transferred me to the sales rep. Sales rep Ralph fixed the pricing and spelling of my last name and emailed me over another policy. In reviewing my policy again I had to call back for a 3rd time to once again state nowhere on the policy does it state 11K is covered.
Now Ray transferred me to another Manager who now tells me it should not have been offered to me because I am paying monthly. It is only offered if you pay 3 years up front. I asked "BOB" the manager if they would stand behind what I was offered, he said no. Apparently they do not value their customers. If this is how they were now with me I could only imagine what you would go through putting through a claim. Please do your homework before signing up with them, there are too many other reputable companies out there. Also go through every line of your policy with them and good luck if you need to put in a claim. Donna **

Sam was a really knowledgeable sales representative, asked good questions, and gave me good information. He found us additional discounts due to our age bracket, home ownership, and length of time in residence. We look forward to having this home warranty coverage and hope it surpasses home warranty policies we have had in the past that required using service providers who were not adequate, could not come in a timely fashion, and which refused to replace defunct air conditioning units, instead sending parts for repair taking 4 weeks in the mid summer ridiculous heat in Charleston, South Carolina! We always keep our Greensboro home in excellent condition so it will be nice to have this safety net.

I applied and paid for a warranty with Select Warranty in the beginning of October. I received several phone calls, but I couldn’t get back to anyone until Thursday October 31, 2019. The phone rep. didn’t seem to know why I was calling, he didn’t ask until I attempted to explain again. He then was able to pull up my contract, but didn’t review it with me. I had to ask questions; what’s covered, how much, next payment due date? He did agree to send a copy of warranty via email. And call ended.

The two technicians (Jonathan and Ron) that were sent to address the plumbing problem of my leaking bathroom sink arrived in a very timely way -- arriving at 1:00PM (in a scheduled appointment window of 1:00 PM-4:00 PM). They properly identified themselves in a very friendly manner. They then proceeded to, effectively, take care of the existing problem in a very courteous and professional way. They left the work area in a very clean condition. Indeed they were excellent service representatives of Ultimate Drain Cleaning and Service.

Last year I purchased their most recommended bronze plan for 3 years for almost $1000 and was told it would cover water heaters. The website also states that it covers water heaters. My water heater just went out and it will cost $1600 to replace it. The company took three weeks to get to a resolution and finally sent us an email saying that they will only reimburse us $175 for the new water heater because it is 12 years old (which is not that old for a water heater). The contract that they sent me AFTER we discussed coverage and paid for the warranty has fine print that says they will only pay depreciated value on ANYTHING.
They advertise that the water heater is COVERED under warranty when this policy clearly does NOT COVER a replacement. They are only willing to reimburse us 11% which means we are responsible for 89% of the loss. No one would use this company if they knew that they would only cover pennies on the dollar, when most of the other companies would cover the entire replacement. I am a Realtor and deal with warranty companies all the time.

It was an easy process to sign up. Steven ** was a help showing me the information I asked for or rather telling me. He was knowledgeable and understanding of my plight with Total Home Protection. I think I've went with a good company this time also the Right company. I was less than happy with my first try at a home warranty plan. But the things I have read and the reviews I've seen lead me to believe the way I do. A warranty plan is a must I feel for home protection from high bills.

SHW website is so misleading. They advertise multiple industry awards that I can't imagine are legit, based on their customer service. They sell 3+ years warranty that seems really cheap per year with a low co-pay, but it doesn't really cover much because of all their cleverly written exemptions. Their online advertisement says they will "repair or replace your appliances, it's just that simple." But they don't. They pretty much just tell you your appliance is worth $150 and that's what they pay you, if you're lucky.
The genius of a three year warranty, is that they require proof of annual service for three continuous years on your HVAC. In other words, you'll be eligible for able for partial repair on your HVAC after documentation for three years, when your policy is over. I say partial because it won't cover even half of the expenses. When they wouldn't cover my system in any way, I asked, "What if the hot water heater goes out, will you refuse to cover that, too?" They told me, "Well of course we cover water heaters." We finally gave up, they wouldn't even send anyone out, and we paid for a new one.
Because so many customers complain about this company and seek legal action, they've hired a very clever attorney to handle the BBB, office of the Attorney General, and lawsuits in general. They are not a warranty company, they are scammers and need to be stopped. I had a refrigerator go out and they actually sent someone out, but once he was there, he said he wouldn't do anything unless I paid in full and that SHW would reimburse me. Well, they didn't give me one penny of the $600 charge. I totalled up everything they didn't cover and it came to over $8,000, over three policies. If I had only bought one, I would feel so bad, but I paid them $3,000. They have neglected to give me the coverage their website promised.

I file a claim for my water heater and they ask for the serial and gave it to them. And I also informed them that it was still under warranty and they assigned my claim to a local technician. And they came out and did an diagnosis on my water heater and charged me a $60 deductible. And I was sent an email stating that my claim was denied because my water heater was still under warranty. They was aware of that in the beginning, I’ve called several times to speak with a manager but they tell me every time that all supervisors are busy and will call me back within the hour and they never do, I’m very disappointed with the service that I’m receiving from, I think they are practicing some business, I think they should refund my money after knowing that they were not going to take care of my claim.

Sam ** was very courteous and helpful in saving me money on my home warranty.

I am going to cancel the home Warranty on my other home and give Sam ** a call to cover that one also. For only $200.00 more than what I pay now, I can cover the house for 3 1/2 years instead of only 1 year. Also, the service call deductible will be less than half of the old company.

Terrible service. Words cannot express how dissatisfied I am with this company. Due to a mistake from Select Home Warranty’s side I was refused service and had to find and pay for repairs myself. After about 2 months of countless calls and emails they fixed their own error, but the reimbursement is less than half of what the repairs cost. Do not buy home warranty from them. Go to any other home warranty company. The system only allows you to submit good reviews.

I currently have water damage in my basement. My sump pump is not properly functioning. I expected to have it checked and replaced if need be. However, I got it checked ONLY. The local professional assigned wasn't given authorization to make the repairs, even though he agreed with my assessment. Now I am waiting further while rain in the forecast. I tried to get my situation escalated, but was met with excuses and a lack of results. I was told that a supervisor wasn't available since it was after 6 pm. So I guess I am to believe that no supervisors work past 6 pm until the following morning. I just wanted simple customer service with a little common sense.

Great price. Outstanding customer service. I got to talk to to an actual person who answered my questions and guided me in getting the best warranty for my needs. I was offered additional discounts and warranty extensions for exceptional pricing. I highly recommend Select Home Warranty over others. I have tried two other consumer recommended companies and they do not compare to Select Home Warranty on their customer service, prices, longevity of warranty and low co-pay. Having that peace of mind that my home is protected from items breaking or the high cost of replacing or repairing appliances, hot water tanks or even heat and air conditioning is wonderful.

I was very happy with my service even though I didn’t necessarily like the mechanics they sent because they didn’t get back to us to schedule correctly and then they forgot to send the diagnosis in to finish filling the claim.

After the mechanics were very unprofessional and did not do their part on time Select Home Warranty did and they did it quickly which I appreciated. I was told they would prioritize my case and I felt as if they did just that. I received a response that same day and follow up emails were sent as quickly as possible.

Select Home Warranty is not legitimate. They delay and recycle calls, ask for the same information over and over, and try to get the customer to simply give up. This is the second claim I've made with Select Home Warranty, and the second I paid 100% out of pocket. Oct 17 2019: Refrigerator malfunctioned and stopped cooling the freezer and refrigerator sides. Opened a ticket with Select Home Warranty (provided issue description, model and serial numbers, etc. Oct 18 2019: Select Home Warranty dispatched Contractor A, who scheduled their diagnosis on Oct 21 2019.

Part must be replaced. Requested repair.
Oct 22 2019: Contractor A reports the part is ordered, will arrive on 25 Oct 2019. Schedules the repair for 9-11AM on 26 Oct 2019. 26 Oct 2019: Contractor A doesn't show for the repair. Family emergency. Contractor A is one person, not a company of people. Contractor A reports they will hand the job off to someone else. I e-mail Select Home Warranty a transcript of the text messages and request a re-assignment. 27 Oct 2019: After no communication, I call Select Home Warranty who has no idea about the issue. They call Contractor A and verify closure and request to transfer the work order. Select Home Warranty reports to me a new contractor will be assigned in 24-48 hours.
28 Oct 2019: I follow up with Select Home Warranty. No contractor assigned, yet. They recommend I hire my own. I gave them until 29 Oct 2019 1100CT to find a contractor. 29 Oct 2019: I contact Select Home Warranty. No contractor assigned, yet. I gave them until 1100 (couple more hours). At 1100, I contact Select Home Warranty and report that I'll find my own contractor. They request I call back after the diagnosis and request authorization to repair. Around 1110CT, I hired a contractor who is scheduled between 9-11AM on 30 Oct 2019.
30 Oct 2019: Contractor arrives on time. Same diagnosis, need to remove and replace the defrost control board. I called Select Home Warranty for approval. I spoke with Person 1 (customer service) who took all the information, then he transferred me to Person 2 (authorizations) who took the same information in a bit more detail, then he transferred me to Person 3 (approvals) who requested all the same information again and very rudely and stated he needed 24-48 hours to review and approve the claim. I explained we already waited more than 10 days and it was their failure to obtain a contractor that created this situation. I stated I would not wait any longer.
I was transferred to Person 4 (customer service) who started over at the beginning. I provided all of the information (again), and this person "Matthew" said he was sorry and would have to transfer per to authorizations. I was transferred to Person 5 (authorizations) who took down, again, all of the same information. This person put me on hold to "attempt to get approval" and returned later stating the appliance was not covered under the warranty. This phone call took 1 hour and 1 minute. During this time, the contractor I hired sourced the part, picked it up, and started the install. They were finished and e-mailing me pictures and involves within 10 minutes of finishing the call with Select Home Warranty.

After purchasing our new home we decided to use Select Home Warranty as our warranty company. 7 months after we moved in we realized our a/c unit needed replacing. We contacted Select Home Warranty to file a claim. After a ton of back and forth communication they finally said they would only pay $150 for the $8000 unit we had installed. When we asked why they were not going to help cover the new unit they responded that we had to have 3 years worth of maintenance records. I repeatedly asked how the hell someone was supposed to have 3 years worth of records when we only lived here less than a year. This company misrepresented what they would cover during the initial purchase process for the home warranty.
STRONGLY suggest looking at anyone other than Select Home Warranty. Then to top that off when we asked to cancel the policy and we would hire another company they would not let us cancel without additional money being paid for cancellation which was not discussed during purchase. Worst company I have ever had to deal with.

I don't want to get my own because it takes y’all 8 weeks to get refunds and I don’t want the hassle of trying to get my money back. Y’all will only approve $100 and it will probably cost a lot more than that. Even with my $75 it will most likely cost more than $175. On my last claim y’all replace at the lowest cost possible. I feel like I should get my appliance replaced depending on the brand I have, not the cheapest one possible.

Don't waste your $ on this company. I turned in claim yesterday for over the counter microwave. Agent told me would be receiving new unit as they don't repair microwaves and I would get an email letting me know how to proceed. Today I received the mail and instead of getting the new unit I am told I get $90 toward the purchase of a new one and they don't cover installation so I told them I was going to cancel the policy, get the microwave and send them the receipt for the $90 reimbursement. Was told that I would have to keep the policy in effect to receive the money from the claim. So I pay another $38 bucks to get back the $90, if I even do. Rating them a 1 is still too good.

Select Home Warranty was chosen by me when it came time to renew our home warranty insurance as I was very unhappy with the program that was included in our original home purchase. Select Home Warranty has reasonable rates and friendly people to help you if you should have a claim. Other companies say they will cover you, but I have found that the customer service is lacking and we ended up replacing things that were suppose to be covered, and had to wait days for their service people to show up. I feel confident that Select Home Warranty will be the home protection plan I will stay with and, in fact, just renewed for 2 years!

I have contacted SHW on three different occasions. So far, all claims have been denied. Sunday, my water heater broke. Today, a plumber spoke to SHW on my behalf. As soon as the plumber used the word "leak", your representative immediately stated my claim was denied. They were on the phone less than 30 seconds. Please review the call so you can see I'm not exaggerating. So, I've got stage IV cancer (I'm on disabilty) and there is an infant living in the house with NO hot water.

I am so angry!!!! I spent $2,000.00 for a five year warranty. I have now had three claims. The first was my refrigerator that took weeks to get repaired and eventually, I had to get my own repair contractor because the "Technician" SELECT HOME WARRANTY (SHW) sent couldn't do the job and I never received reimbursement for the second technician. The pump in my dishwasher died on 8/16 and it took until 10/10 for me to just get a reimbursement check of $350 APPROVED which I have NOT YET RECEIVED. In addition, the "Technician" SHW sent charged my credit card for over $800.00 in small amounts and he did NO WORK AT ALL. I had to dispute the charges with my credit card company, again which has yet to be resolved. Then I had to buy a new dishwasher which cost me over $900.00.
NOW, I placed a claim for my HVAC system that needed the coils replaced and I got my own technician since I had no confidence in anyone SHW could send out and I could not be without air conditioning due to medical issues and I couldn't wait the days, weeks, months that it takes to get approval to have work done. So, now I am out another $3000.00 because SHW refuse to pay any of the claim because I did not get your "APPROVAL" first. This is a racket. I will be writing to the local TV stations, local newspapers, all the online review services, and any other review services that I can find and I will NEVER RECOMMEND Select Home Warranty to anyone.

I bought a home warranty to cover my very old HVAC. The HVAC broke and I put in a claim. The HVAC repair tech noted that the motor was broken, and that the system was low on freon. SHW declined to cover the repair/replacement because their contract covers broken motors, but not freon leaks. I called to object and was told to pay for other HVAC repair personnel to evaluate the system, and submit their evaluations in writing. I paid for, coordinated, collected and submitted 3 separate professional HVAC evaluations that all state the problem was a broken and unrepairable motor. SHW still refused to pay, when I asked why now, they stated that they needed 3 years of maintenance records before they can pay. I produced 3 years of maintenance records and they still refused to pay claiming that the problem was a freon leak, and as such is not covered.

This is the absolute worst home warranty company I have ever chosen. I am literally fighting with the company to complete my claim. For example, Following the first claim, we received an email offering $ 95.00 before anyone even showed up to asses what the problem was! Then waited 2 weeks for a technician appointment to be scheduled. Now, three and a half weeks into the claim process, we are waiting for an additional assessment due to complications with our unit. Before even completing our claim and inspection, the company offered us $ 195 and said that's the best they can do! The kicker is the claim clearly states the unit requires an additional testing by two technicians.
I would recommend investing your money in other home warranty companies aside from Select Home Warranty. Their customer service is a nightmare. Each time I call to inquire about my claim, the response is " You will receive an email in 24 to 48 hours". This is not the case. I have received zero emails unless I call back after three days, complain about not receiving the email, then all of a sudden the email appears in my inbox.
In the past, we had American Home Shield, they were a little more expensive; but much more efficient and followed through with their contract agreements. Their customer service agents were knowledgeable and competent. This company is quick to take your monthly payment and will exhaust all measures to never follow through with their end of the contract. At least this is the issue in my case. Although, I doubt I am the only dissatisfied customer. This is solely my opinion, but I want others to know what they are in for before they sign up. I find it amusing that with every response they want to know what their customer satisfaction review is. I would not even rate this company a one star if an option. I'm highly disappointed.

The customer service I received was excellent and that is refreshing in today's world. I would highly recommend Select Home to my friends. The value proposition seems excellent and the reviews I read were very positive compared to other home warranty companies. I was very pleased with the Mothers Day sale which I was able to take advantage of. I appreciate the persistence of the customer service representative so I was able to take advantage of such an excellent plan.

We purchased a home in August of 2019 and had the sellers buy the home warranty of our choice. After doing research, we settled on the platinum plan from Select Home Warranty. We NEVER received anything in regards to the warranty other than a receipt printed by the Realtor for the purchase. Submitted a claim in September that was denied and told via email it was per term 4 of our contract, called the company and requested a copy of the contract. Was told it would be emailed the next business day, that was August 30th. Called again on September 16th, requested again a copy of our contract, was told it would be emailed by the end of the day. I called again October 14th and October 16th still requesting copies of our contract.
Here it is October 22nd and we still have NO COPY OF OUR CONTRACT!!!! How hard is it to send an email. Also asked on October 16th to speak to a manager, was told by "Customer Service" exact words "I bet they tell you the same thing I just did". Was placed on hold for a few minutes until the same girl came back on saying all four managers were on other lines. She would give them my information to have them return my call. I asked if I should expect it that day or just sometime within the next two months? Of course was told by the end of the day... Good thing I didn't hold my breath as I have STILL not received a call back. I have NEVER in my life dealt with such incompetent people and such a horrible company. Guess I will just start submitting claims and see what happens there.

I purchased warranty with SHW June 2019 for my son's first home. Plumbing leak 6 days ago was called into your center to have provider sent out. Day 6 today we have both called 2x/day and your company has asked us the same questions that only a plumber would know the answers to. No water now to the house of 5 people, adjacent wall to shower is wet and now has black mold on it tonight. Room is shut down, everything moved out of it and we purchased 2 heaters. Boys have to shower at school or gym. A rep at SHW today named Paul told me to not wait any longer but to call a plumber as they were unable to get us a plumber!!!!
I'm a Realtor of 42 years and I purchase warranties for ALL of my clients when we close. I have NEVER been asked dozens of questions about a plumbing leak I can't see, waited 6 days and STILL no plumber to repair and never told to move ahead without the warranty assistance. I have written to the BBB, I am posting on YELP, FB and 13 other sites I regularly post to let as many people know as I can! I am outraged and cannot believe I bought a 2 year warranty from this horrendous place.. I want my money back tomorrow and would some day like to hear from a plumber to fix the leak that now has mold on it!!! I have asked to speak to a manager every day and am always told no one is available. I want my money back and I will continue posting until you get a plumber to our home and I get my money returned!!!!

My friend was staying at my house and called me and told me that my built in microwave made a buzzing noise and would't work. She got nervous and had her husband unplug it. I put in a claim to have it fixed and was told by Select that it was too expensive to fix and that they would only give me $95 toward the purchase of a new one and that I would have to pay to install it and that I wouldn't get the money until I produced a receipt depicting the purchase of a new one. I will not be home till next June and will be renting the property out so this is not acceptable. The microwave was only 4 years old and cost approximately $475 at the time of purchase.
I called about 4 times and each time whoever I spoke with could not tell me what was wrong with the unit or why they were only offering $95. I told them I wanted to cancel my policy immediately and was told that if I did that, I would not be eligible for the $95. I told them again to cancel the policy and that I was going to the Better Business Bureau. I am also going to speak with the lawyer on the military base where I work to see if I can get all my money back that I paid for the policy. Needless to say, I am very disappointed in this company.

The claims department will do anything to not pay out claims. Submitted furnace repair claim and only paid $150. I did the regular maintenance on the five year old unit. Consequently I did not have maintenance records. The repair cost was $1,100. Submitted for leak in the ice maker and without sending a tech out, they denied saying it was condensation or a leak. Not an accurate diagnosis. Submitted for a faulty ceiling fan and they depreciated the cost to replace down to $45 and would not pay for installation. This was not what the sales associate told us.

This is the 3rd claim I have filed with Select Home Warranty. I have had the same experience for all 3 claims. The good: Submitting the claim was easy. Customer service agents are nice. The bad: Takes dispatch forever to assign a contractor - I waited over 2 weeks. Contractors assigned do not respond which results in another call to SHW. SHW then tells you to get your own contractor BUT before you can have the work done you have to call their authorization department for approval and your contractor must speak to the authorization department. This call takes at least half an hour usually 45 minutes and the contractors are NOT happy with this. The contractor cannot make repairs until approval is given. Approval or denial takes 48 hours to receive and then the contractor has to come back. I have just submitted 2 claims for payment so I do not know how long it will take to be reimbursed but SHW states in their email it will be at least 30 days.

When they transferred me to the sales department to purchase the extra coverage, I asked one last time to ensure the underground lines would be covered, however, he said they actually were not.

The home warranty is fair. I don't agree with the terms you really have to have it for longer than 6 months to get any use out of it. If something breaks down if you haven't had the warranty longer than 3 months it doesn't pay a lot. However it is better than having to cover the whole amount. Value for the money is fair. I wish I had been told before hand that if you don't have it at least 3 months it will not pay for replacement items.

No contractor could be assigned, and I was told to get my own and be reimbursed in 30 days for date of submission. I then had a problem with my microwave and the contractor that came out for the service, took the service call on the dryer. I paid him $90. The microwave got fixed and I was reimbursed but the contractor tried to rip me and the company off with OVER charging for the cost of the microwave and install, never came back to repair the dryer. (I later find out he isn't even a licensed contractor.) The company couldn't even get through to him, so they assigned another contractor that has yet to call or come out and that has been since Sept 26th.
Today is October 17th I still have a broken dryer, their customer service is outsourced, rude, and scripted. This company is a SCAM!!!! Do fall for their hocus-pocus sales gimmicks of what they offer because their contract takes it all back in the cancellation line 13. The worst part is the dryer could actually catch fire and destroy my house or worse lives. To add insult to injury letting unlicensed and unvetted contractors is a serious liability and should be a breach of contract.
