    Alan ** helped me with getting my policy together. He was really nice and helpful. He answered my questions clearly and thoroughly. He was able to give me the Veterans Day coupon that I wouldn’t have gotten online. He explained that I could take the whole year option and break up the payment over three months which is really helpful. I just got my Select Home Warranty so I can't speak on how the coverage is but I do feel better being covered. For value, I would recommend Select to a friend and tell them to ask for Alan. Thank you.

    This was my second claim with Select Home Warranty. The first was my air conditioner and the second my garage door opener. Customer Service was great! They were very professional and quick to respond to my needs. A technician was on the phone with me making an appointment within 5 minutes of hanging up with the Customer Service Representative. Made an appointment for the very next day. Great experience. Would highly recommend to my friends and family. Definitely worth the small bit I pay monthly for the great, professional quick service.

    My garage door fell off tracks. Helotes garage doors repaired my door immediately. Very professional and extremely reasonable price wise. This company definitely knows what they are doing. I would not trust my garage to anyone else. As soon as I called they were able to accommodate me. They are friendly and very understanding. You are given instructions to remove your cars if they may be in danger of being impacted as mine were. They are available at any time. Of course you pay for off hours or holidays but it is good to know that in an emergency they will always be available.

    Water heater. Select was very prompt and helpful. Service contractor did not correct the problem after two visits, then disappeared and would not return phone calls. Select said to engage another contractor and submit invoice for reimbursement. Waiting now to receive reimbursement which I understand will happen within 30 days. The contractor was rather strange in that the phone was answered with "Hello" and not as a business. The woman answering explained it was her personal cell phone. Not sure why Select uses them.

    After reading reviews of various home warranty companies, I chose Select based on their reviews and affordability. After purchasing online, their agent, Mark, called and offered even better pricing. Mark was very courteous and offered several different options for saving money on the plan. He helped me find an affordable deal that I couldn't pass up. I have never seen a company that offered such great discounts. I have already recommended Select to two other people. If their service is as good as the purchasing experience, it will be a great warranty!

    Plastic ice cube holder. I reported it on 11-11-2019. In less than five minutes they refused to schedule a repair person to even look at my refrigerator, all I asked was for a minor repair to stop the ice maker from continuously spitting ice cubes on the front door of my refrigerator to the floor. They didn’t waste any time asking me for an additional charge of $40 to repair or even look at it. Along with a $45 service charge. I have never made a claim before and it just surprised me at the Company’s response to a new customer. I am going to cancel my home warranty with Select Home Warranty.

    Their customer service was really nice and response time was quick. I had a issue with my set up times to come look no one ever came. Called back and the same thing happened. On my third call they told me that their techs were backed and are trying to get someone out and if I wanted to use my own repair company they would reimburse. Well one of the main reasons I have them is so I only have one person to call and everything is taken care of. This was 10/5/19. Received email on 10/21 stating they are still working on my claim.

    After repeated calls they finally tell me on November 10th they don’t have any service technicians that repair Samsung. Why the heck they couldn’t have said that a month and half is beyond me but anyway I now need to call Samsung to set up a Diagnostic pay their fee which they reimburse and if repairs are over a 100 I have to send it to them for authorization And once and if they approve it then Samsung technicians can come back and fix it. Today is the 13th of November the Samsung tech just left with everything that is wrong so now I have to wait for them to approve it then maybe I can get it fixed. I did do another claim on 10/10/19 for something else that isn’t Samsung and they are supposed to be here tomorrow so hopefully I won’t have the same issues as with the fridge. Will update outcomes of fridge and central air.

    Been paying for your crap warranty for almost a year. Finally had to put in a claim for a dryer that’s about 3 years old for making loud noise while running. Slow to get answers. Paid tech 75 then he submits claim to you! Finally you approve but only parts and not labor. So unless I want to shell out another 160 for labor on top of the 75 plus the monthly service fee paid to you...then I can’t get dryer fixed! Great work! You’ve let me be without a dryer for almost two weeks only to find out you're a scam! It says I pay 75 and you repair or replace! Nowhere in the contract you sent me it says I pay for labor too! You guys are the worst! Will recommend everyone to stay far away from your company! I’ll also be turning you in for your deceptive practice!

    When I contacted SHW to inquire about a warranty, there were two very important things they DIDN'T tell me: 1. In addition to the initial 30-day waiting period, there is then BEYOND THAT a 90-day waiting period where there is lesser coverage. This means that I have to pay more than the deductible for a repair. 2. I had to pay the plumber ALL THE MONEY UPFRONT, then submit for reimbursement. 3. There seem to be a lot of exceptions to the policy: i.e., unless you pay an additional fee, plumbing fixtures (like faucets) are not covered.

It is important that Select Warranty realizes that the people that call in are NOT familiar with what is to take place, thereby the need for questions to be raised.

    Select Home Warranty customer service reps are very helpful when you are purchasing your warranty and they all speak English. My experience changed on an emergency problem within the first 30 days. No offense but I could not understand any of the 3 people I spoke with. Please read the policy regulations and exceptions. My motor on my furnace went out last week and since it's within the first 30 days they will NOT cover any MAJOR or emergency issues no matter the problem. They will only cover minor issues. You will have to pay out of pocket with no reimbursement. I had questions and wanted to speak with management. Angel one supervisor refused to speak at first, then answered the phone saying "We are not changing our minds, it's a business and it is in the rules." Only exceptions will be made after you stay with the company for an extended time period but not on the same issue once it is in the system.

    Response time is usually 24-48 hours. So it took a few days in between the claim before a technician came out. They asked for pictures and any old service calls from a previous home warranty company. Completed all for them to deny me coverage even though I am covered. I plan to cancel my membership soon. The only good thing the last guy offered was the next service call free. As of now I am researching other companies and taking the proper steps to cancel. Read the policy and make sure you are covered before possibly calling for a tech and claim. Hope this helps any new customers with issues.

    I am not sure why everyone doesn't get an extended home warranty - it takes the stress off of having additional unexpected costs due to things breaking. All major appliances are covered and even more. It's a no brainer. For a small co-pay, they find a reputable repair person and take care of the stress and additional costs. The longer you purchase the warranty - the better the deal. The company is very friendly and offers options for all budgets.

Offered me $225, but would not replace it. Said it was too old. Then the kitchen sink was plugged up. They hired a handyman to do a plumber's job. Again he was a cheap one man show. After that I said I wanted out of the contract. It was very difficult to finally convince them that I wanted out.

Every single item I wanted coverage for it not covered or so limited it makes this plan a waste of time and money! I would like this plan canceled as I have already wasted the first payment for nothing!!!! Thanks, Brittney **. Also I would like a confirmation email that this has been cancelled and no further funds will be withdrawn!"

Then the next day Jacob ** calls me trying to get me to stay with the company, I told him I did not want to but I would double check with my husband and call back. So I called back the same day and spoke with a lady, I did not write her name down and she said I would receive an email of my cancellation and refund details would be in there!

    ONCE AGAIN month 3 of being charged I call multi times today to finally get my cancellation email finally and was told my refund details would be in the email! Which they were not. So I call back up today to once again speak with Jacob ** for him to tell me I never called back last month which is BULL. I have the call log on my phone bill to prove otherwise!!

    Then he tells me I will only get one month refund and that in his "notes" they put I requested a full refund but was never told I would get one! BS ONCE AGAIN. Check you recorded calls!!

I asked him if I would get an email stating my refund and he tells me "If I get one it will be from billing department" but he did not know. And since he was the supervisor there was no one higher than him I could speak with!

    SO YAY, I might get a refund if Im lucky it will be for one month instead of the $105 I've paid this company that I have been trying to canceled from day one!!!! I have the emails and call logs to prove my case! And the fact yall will not honor a full refund and keep charging me monthly is just insane! It might be $105 dollars but it affects my family!!!! WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH!!!!

    In November 2018 I purchased a home and later purchased the Select Home Warranty. At the time of purchased I was under the impression that I was obtaining coverage for my home in its current status and was never informed that 3 years of maintenance records would be required in order to utilize this coverage. As a new home owner, this is pertinent information to receive upfront because this information is not often past on from owner to owner. I would have never purchased this product had I known that service records would be required for every repair covered under this product.

    On 11/4/19, I contacted Select Home Warranty in an effort to open a claim for my heating system via an online request. On 11/5/19, I submitted a second online request. After not receiving any response or confirmation of my online request, I contacted Select Home Warranty on that same day via phone. I was informed by the customer service representative they had not received my two online requests and submitted a 3rd request with that representative.

    On 11/7/2019, a contractor was dispatched to my home to assess and diagnose the issue with my heating for which I paid $40. He reported the blow motor needed to be replaced. While still on location at my home the contractor called Select Home Warranty to inform them of the problem. The phone call was on speaker so I could hear the conversation between the contractor and the representative from Select Home Warranty. The representative was informed the part for the blow motor would cost $499 and $75/hour (1.5 hours of labor). The representative proceeds to state he would be submitting the request but then reported he already knew it wasn’t going to be covered and directed the contractor to leave the residence.

    Once the contractor left my home some time later I received an email requesting photos of the unit and maintenance records. In response to this email I submitted the photos of the unit, as requested. I contacted Select Home Warranty to follow up and was again informed that I needed to submit photos of the unit and service records. I informed them I have submitted all the information that I have (photos of the unit) and that the service records were not available because I have only owned this home for 1 year. I later received another email again requesting photos of the unit and again resent the same photos.

    On 11/8/2019, I received an email stating my claim had been denied under section 9.1.2 of my contract. I placed a follow up call to Select Home Warranty and was informed by the representative that my claim was denied because I failed to provide 3 years of service records. However, the part necessary for repair is covered under section 6.3.3 of my contract. I was further informed that Select Home Warranty would be willing to pay $150 toward the cost of repair which I do not believe is acceptable because I obtained the policy under the pretense that covered repairs would be COVERED in full. Select Home Warranty has proceeded to process a payment in the form of $150 check that I do not plan to cash.

    It is very unfair how they lure consumers into buying their products with the false hope that they will be there when the customer needs them. They are not transparent about the parameters of their product and as I can see many customers have fallen for their scam. I will not accept anything less than a full refund of my policy payment which I believe to be sufficient since they have refused to cover the cost of my repairs that are included in my contract and considering they have solicited their product to a new homeowner without being upfront and transparent about what’s necessary to submit a claim through their company. This company is so it’s not even accredited by the Better Business Bureau because they are not cooperative when handling disputes and provide extremely poor customer service. Please keep in mind that they pay a monthly fee to be on this site and have no obligation to the satisfaction of the consumer.

    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.

    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.

    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. Oct 21 2019: Contractor A visits and diagnosis the problem as a de-frost control board, but they clean the coils and say to call back if it breaks again. It broke again the same day. 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.

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.

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.

    Customer service is not able to provide any information except you will get an email soon. When they do provide answers I have found it to be incorrect like telling me a claim was approved when it was not. Managers will not speak with customers about issues. Contractor sent to house was a joke. Did not even have tools and asked to borrow some of mine. This company will not pay out fair on claims. They find ways to avoid paying even after I was told it was approved. Now that I am upset they will not even speak to me or take my calls. Highly recommend stay away from this company. They are the worst home warranty I have used.

    I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with the warranty service however after speaking with the representative I choose to sign up. Then speaking with another account rep. I was convinced to sign up for 2 years with added discount and free months. I would recommend my neighbors and family to sign up for this valued warranty. I was impressed with the representatives I spoke with as they were able to answer all my questions with clear informative facts.

    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 completely ignores/contradicts multiple written testimonials by professional HVAC repair personnel.

    After 8 days with no AC I am being told the max coverage is $150 for repairs due to my inability to produce 3 years of service records. This information they had 7 days ago, why wait 8 days to tell me this? No one wants to give you a name so you can refer back to the same employee, no supervisor will speak with you. Placed on hold over 30 minutes twice. No one ever calls back, I was told I should have read my service contract, employee admits the disclosures in the contract are too long to discuss prior to purchase, scripted conversations all sound the same and employees will mute the phone while you are talking so you don’t catch on the the fact they are not listening at all!

    Online records indicate there are only 10 employees, seems inadequate for a national company. I feel online reviews are fake, if you get past the first page of a google search you find many similar complaints of claims denied due to lack of records .... most importantly again we are on 7 days past the time they were told I would be unable to provide that information. WHY WAIT 7 ADDITIONAL DAYS TO DENY THE CLAIM.

    Heating unit malfunction. I spoke over the phone with a totally nice and considerate Customer Service Dept female. We have not yet had a service man out though, takes a couple days to set one up - I am assuming. I/we will again take the survey once we have a technician come out to diagnose the problem and let you know how the process went. If we are satisfied, we will then refer this company to others for future reference. Thanks!

    We were Leery of a home warranty because we had not had great past experience with other companies. However, select home warranty has been great so far. Their customer service is prompt and helpful. We just submitted our first claim and it was so easy. You can go online, or if you would rather speak to a real person, I was able to reach customer service in less than 2 minutes.

    Excellent description of services along with additional items that could be added on to plan. Very customer friendly. Would highly recommend to others who are looking for multi-year plans with excellent coverage and low service call fees. Additional coverage options were a plus and unexpected. Response time was immediate and being able to call a specific rep to help with questions or handle claims is a bonus. Online tech support helps drive this business and puts them a bit above the rest. From text messages to instant emails and easy online portal access. Not too many things to say negative about Select Home Warranty.

    My husband and I are having terrible service from Select Home Warranty. We submitted a claim for the first time on their website for our stove burner repair. There is a $125 flat fee that we had to pay for the technician that was sent by Select Home Warranty. That technician showed up and inspected the stove, and ensuring us that he would come back the next day. But guess what, he never showed up again, no call, no text, no pick-up phones, just like he disappeared.

    Even though we have tried to call Select Home Warranty several times about this issue, that technician just used many excuses for not responding to our calls or ignoring messages. Now, he supposes to come last Saturday to fix the burner, again, NO show No call No response. It has been like this for over a month. We paid $125 TO THAT TECHNICIAN, but where is that technician from Select Home Warranty? DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY FOR A COMPANY THAT OFFERS NOTHING BUT LIES.

    You and your technicians/vendors are thieves. Not only did your vendor approved his technician for work he knew wasn't going to be approved, but he was ready to sell a unit (commercial, mind you) for a residential property. Then upon 2nd call from tenant, your vendor 'realized' the type of unit currently installed and decided to lower the price. Again, never actually providing actual repair options, just the option to replace. The company kept telling me I would receive the decision on my claim within 24-48 hours via email. In total 4 business days went by and instead of an email, I received a call to tell me the claim wasn't covered. Based on the policy exclusions.. Funny, this could have been resolved in 10 mins if anyone had actually been providing specific information and communicating with the company. And after reading all the disclaimers, nothing is covered by these policies. A total rip off.

He explained the great benefits that Select offered vs other competitors and the value they represented. He made me feel like a valued customer not just a number. He stated that if I thought of any further questions later I could call him. Abraham is a great asset to your company. I feel much better now that I have a home warranty with Select.

I appreciate that he didn't keep pressuring me to buy the yearly plan. He was professional and gave me reassurance that if I have an issue, it will be resolved within a timely manner.

    I spent this morning comparing home warranty companies including the one First American we currently have. As it didn't seem they wanted to keep us as a customer I began with CCB Consumer Credit Bureau. I checked a few and saw Select Home Warranty had the best rating! I searched online and saw they had a good policy. I filled out the info and a very nice man Abraham called me right away! He went through everything with me that my policy would cover, including "Free Roof leakage" and 2 months Free!

    I was concerned about what vendors I would have to use also. He said no worries, that If I had a claim to make I could use the companies I choice too! Abraham was a delight to speak to and very informative! I wish I could have taking care of my auto insurance first to better know my budget, as he also offered me a great savings on a 3 year program! No worries Abraham I have your number and will be calling you back very soon! Thanks for the great customer service!

    I recently used my Home warranty for electrical problems that I had in my home. When calling the customer service line they were able to pull my account up by my number and confirm that they were talking to the correct person. They updated me on them finding a tech. The tech they found was very nice and reached out to me giving me a time frame when they will be at my home. The process of confirming if my claim was approved I didn't like. The tech said that when they usually call in that the home warranty will call a line and if it's unavailable they will reach out to a manager. The tech stated that they will call back. The tech waited around a while to see if he would get the approval to fix my electricity. We had to reschedule for him to come back out which was an inconvenience for me because I had to take off of work the next day. Overall I did have a great experience. I just believe it may have been the customer service rep we got that day.
