Claim/washing machine. I notified the warranty company, email and phone. They were extremely timely, with a response and followup. The technicians were professional and got the local representative out in a very timely manner. The technician dispatched came out in a timely manner and were professional. The technicians notified the warranty company to provide them with the diagnosis of the problem. During my tenure with this company, they have been very helpful. I would recommend them, to others, for a home warranty.

Rep did a good job explaining the coverage. I would have preferred knowing all of the options and discounts earlier in the conversation. Only after I declined did he mention the other options. Also, regarding payment options, the rep didn't have details but did point me to customer service. I think for rental property, this sort of warranty service program will be very helpful. I also like the fact that other add-on services are available like for the pool, sump pump, and roof.

So far I am satisfied with the call but have not been able to use it for warranty purposes to evaluate that service. I can say though that I never got a receipt of payment nor did I get an information packet saying what my policy covers... it was very vague... I have had to call and email back several times to get this, which should be given automatically. I am supposedly receiving it today and I hope that it covers what I was told that it covers otherwise the satisfaction will be down.

Had one claim this past week to fix a leaking pipe in our basement. Everything went smoothly, no issues. Called the phone number and described what was wrong, and they emailed me confirmation and said the plumber would be in touch. And that's exactly what happened! Took a few days to get the technician to come out, but since the problem was not urgent, it was not a big deal to wait. The repair was made, pipe was replaced with brand new pipes, and all very easy.

This was the first time I had to submit a claim to Select Home Warranty. The customer service representative was very helpful. He answered all of my questions and explained that I would receive an email once a claim was officially opened via my home email address. I received the email the same day (actually just a few minutes after speaking with your rep) and was able to contact Allstar Appliance to discuss the problems with my dryer. Allstar then scheduled an appointment with me for this week, which is great news. In the past, with another service provider (who I will not mention) I have had to wait weeks before a service tech came. I look forward to working with Allstar who will hopefully will get the dryer up and running efficiently.

Very unfair that a pin hole leak from a pipe is not covered. This warranty seems to be a rip off. Discovered that a pipe leaking from inside the wall. Someone came out. They called Choice Warranty. Choice told them I was responsible for giving them access or pay them $90.00. So I did it. They came back out and then Choice told them. The pin hole leak wasn't covered and I could add that additional coverage for $50.00 a year but it still wouldn't be covered because it's already existing. It'd would be cheaper to just set aside $1.00 a day to cover your own repairs because they are looking for every excuse not to fix your issue. Just sad.

Guys that took order was very helpful. He apologized for no one following up on the last claims. He promise follow up with me. He made sure I had both claim numbers and said I could call and set up the appointment when I was free. He also verified that I received the claim numbers. The order was dispatched very fast. I received an email as I was filling out the survey. He showed concern. I wish more people were like him.

So far all I have done is report my first claim but that was easy as could be. On website there is a place to make a claim. You just input name, address, contract number and issue. Claim is submitted. And I received notice that same weekend day that the claim was received and a contractor assigned. Still hoping to get the repair scheduled today (Monday). That will be the real test. Not giving five stars on other factors until work done.

I spoke to Jonathon ** from your customer service on the phone to discuss starting a new policy with your company and he was professional, informative, and displayed excellent customer service. The deal offered is outstanding and the the annual rate and deductible are well below other companies offerings. I have a policy with an existing provider whose annual payments and deductible ate much higher. Their service is also not very good and one of the major reasons why I am looking to switch providers

I was able to purchase to a home warranty with no hassle with Jonathan **, he was very patience with me and was able to help me get the best service plan to meet my needs. I was running late for work and he stayed on the phone with me explaining the service plans while I ran into work, than I had to search for my credit card to make the payment so I would not miss the sale which was going on. This is my first home warranty since I purchased my home. I thought I would give it a try. I will tell all my family and friends.

My AC unit went out. I called them and technician showed up. He checked the unit and the compressor was bad and due to the age of the unit parts are not available. Everything was working fine on the report that I got from the technician but they somehow say that the diagnose given by the technician says something else which will be tampering. They determine it was a short to ground which is a lie because the unit turns on then shuts off. Then they told me it was due to maintenance. When I ask them to send me the report they denied my request because they are just avoiding to have to replace my unit saying that it was a short to ground which is not covered on the policy. Every time I call to speak to someone above they never have a supervisor working according to them. I would never recommend. This company is a scam to take your your money. They are quick but to pay you forget it it's a nightmare. Worst company.

I submitted a claim with Select and was told they would give me a payout for my broken oven but they won't cover the labor to install the part on my oven. It's ridiculous. I've been with Choice and AHS in the past and never had an issue like this. I talked to the nice lady at the repair company and she informed me that they have a track record of doing strange things like this. Would avoid Select if possible.

Great improvement of communication but still poor service. Called to Select Home Warranty yesterday at 17:20 to get an emergency plumber to open the clogged toilet in the single bathroom apartment. The plumber was assigned in a few minutes. What sounds great, however I couldn't get a hold with a plumber for a few hours and when I got in touch with him I discovered that they are not providing drain cleaning and they not provide after hours service. Hey, Select Home Warranty? Are you kidding?

As a disclaimer, I rarely write reviews of companies either favorable or unfavorable. Select Home Warranty is the exception due to my experience. When signing up there are incentives to commit to multiple years with option to cancel at any time. This is not true as I discovered. There are costs to cancel that make it not worthwhile. Contractors that are scheduled after days of waiting and constant follow up claim that they do not service your area. Contractors also complain about getting paid from Select and refuse to work for them. I highly recommend avoiding this company. Previously, I had a great experience with First American Home Warranty.

Customer service was excellent, quick and in a timely manner. So far I am pleased and I sincerely hope the rest of my experience with your Company is just as good.

Made me feel welcome and happy I decided to go with Select Home warranty.

Haven't had to use the warranty as of yet but the guy I spoke with to set up my account and start the warranty was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and extremely polite he definitely knew what he was talking about. He helped us get a couple months added to our service plan without any additional costs. Which included roof leak protection which I was unable to find on any other home warranty on the market. For the price which was fairly average in comparison to other local home warranties the value of this policy definitely outweighed the others.

I opted to open my claim online this time, and the process was extremely simple. The form was short, and the options were relevant to my situation. Now I hope the rest process is as easy as opening a claim. I have had problems with warranty companies (including this one) wanting to cover legitimate items or sending subpar contractors before. So, I am hoping that the remainder of this process is as simple as the online claim filing was.

Dryer doesn't spin. Select Home service representative was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had the necessary parts on his vehicle. The repair was done quickly and everything works well. Highly recommend this service provider. The service representative also checked out the operation of the entire dryer as well as Lent deposits and the dryer box. The dryer works well and if any future repairs are necessary I really hope that it is the same repair service.

Asked for me to give feedback on your automated claim system. It seemed to go fine although I will have to wait 48 hrs. As for Customer service I haven’t talked to anyone yet in regards to this issue. Would be nice to have a follow up call as this is our first claim. Hopefully it all goes smooth, when contacted within the 48 hr window that will tell quite a bit more info. Curious though if there is any way for faster service what if it was an emergency.

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.

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.

Good experience thus far. Service is only as good as the repair technicians that provide the service. Some of them lie and try to cheat the customer which is very frustrating when you are working through a third party. This took place in a past claim luckily SHW did eventually intervene to correct the issue, but it was very frustrating getting to that point. Better regulating the conduct (honesty) of the service technicians would be my suggestion.

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. Go elsewhere if you want actual home repair coverage. Total rip-off.

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.

The technician was very nice, but did a shabby job. When he put the toilet back down after sealing it, he used screws that were too big for the cover, so I have big screws sticking up and no cover.

My toilet isn't leaking anymore and but cosmetically looks like a job by a novice who didn't really know what he was doing.

The agent although he tried to give me the best bang for my money, was not the most forthcoming with adequate information about your plans and cost - I had to pry this information out of him also. I am currently considering if I should cancel.
Secondly I was not given adequate information as to whether I would get pertinent or any additional information about your product that I just purchased by mail or email. To me the representative did great in the sales areas but less than exceptional in the explanation areas (product and coverage) without my asking questions for clarification.

The guy was very helpful signing me up with your company. He was bet courtesy and direct. Seemed to understand the workings of the company and benefits of going with your company. He sent me the contract right away and said to call him back if I had any questions. He was easy to understand and answered the phone each time I called in. He explained the benefit of paying in full over doing monthly payments and it was a $100 savings. I will recommend this company to my neighbors and family.

I am excited to be a part of the Select Home Warranty group. I have to say Elliot was amazing in sharing the details of my policy, giving me the best for my hard earned money and the welcome discounts to accommodate my budget. If my need for assistance, when I have to call for repairs is as positive as this sale, you definitely have a Customer for Life. I checked out a few other warranty companies online and so far found this to be promising to take care of my current needs.

I've had SW nearly a year now and this is the first compete claim I've had. I called several times last winter about my furnace to no avail. Not one home visit from the designated vendors. SW customer Service is prompt, courteous and helpful. This time, claim was not approved due to the clogged drain being outside the home.

Purchased warranty about 5 months ago. Was never told that certain things would not be covered like fixtures and that had to be purchased separately. It does not seem the person you speak to understands their own policies. Was discussing for 10 minutes about getting sprinkler system coverage, the rep assured me multiple times that the underground lines would be covered as well. 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. Be careful when ordering your coverage because you will be told one thing by one person, they denied the coverage by the next. Will most likely cancel this home warranty company and go with someone else.

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.

BUYER BEWARE!!!! I had a policy paid up for 5 years. 1 year in I put in a claim for my dryer repair in August 2018. 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.

I still questioned the coverage of the repairs like to the Central Air and heating, He assured me that the copay was $45 and that they have certified technicians to fix the issues most of the time, If not they have to replace it.

Beware of signing up with Select Home Warranty!! After a year of having them as our warranty company, we filed our 1st claim when our dishwasher died. They sent out a repair company that cannot even be found on Google and the repairman was a full-time security guard for the ABC (liquor) Store and only did appliance repair in his spare time. We were only the 2nd dishwasher that he has serviced! Instead of researching the age of the dishwasher through the serial #, he asked my husband what year the house was built and assumed that since it was built in 2000, the dishwasher must be 19 years old. My dishwasher is only 6 years old!!
The "repairman" also ran my garbage disposal without turning any water on to the point that you could smell the motor burning! Select Warranty closed out the claim with an offer of $185! In order for us to dispute the incompetence of the repair company they sent (definitely went with bottom of the basement pricing over experience) we have to pay out of pocket for another service repair company to verify the true date of manufacture for our dishwasher!

I WOULD NOT USE THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN! It feels like a big SCAM!! I paid for a 6 year policy and filed my first claim for a leaky pipe 4 months later. They emailed me and said they would get back to me within 24 hours. They then sent me an email saying that I basically had to do their job because they didn't have a repair person in my area that was available! Here is verbatim what they emailed me: "We do apologize for this delay as our dispatch department is still working on your claim. Unfortunately our technicians are backed up at the moment. In an effort to expedite your claim you do have the option of Securing your own Service Provider to come and diagnose the issue. When using your own Service Provider to service a claim, following the instructions below will ensure your claim is reimbursed properly.

I called the customer service and told them I am not going to do their job of finding a contractor, paying them and then have to wait 30 days to get reimbursed. I spoke with Dionel on Tues. 10/8/19 at 6:08PM and told him I wanted to cancel my policy because I have never been asked by any previous home warranty company to do their job!! He said he would send me a list of repair people within 48 hours. HE DID NOT SEND ME ANYTHING! On 10/15/19 I called to cancel once again and it took me 28 minutes and several transfers to different people and as well as having to listen to how Dionel shouldn't have told me he would send me anything and Gabriel on 10/15/19 at 11:57 am said he would "coach" him not to tell customers that! Then Gabriel transferred me to Felix who was supposedly a manager but was not and he said I would be charged $75.00 to cancel the policy and my refund would be prorated.
So basically they took my money and did not do anything but ask me to do their job and raise my blood pressure for a week by having to listen to all their reasons why they couldn't send a contractor. This is NOT the service I would pay for and would advise you to not even consider this company! If I could give them a big fat ZERO I would! I have contacted the Better Business Bureau and will possibly contact a lawyer. What a waste of my time and money!! Keep in mind I will get my PRORATED refund and a $75.00 cancellation fee in 30 DAYS for them not being able to provide service for me!! I am being charged for them not being able to provide a contractor to fix my leak! How is that legal or even ethical?? Right on the front page of the webpage it says “We assign a local professional” which is NOT TRUE!

Ability to locate a contractor in less than a week. The representatives are top notch. I have a problem with SHW not having a contractor in my area. Twice I have needed service and both times I have been assigned a company that does not service my area and I have been asked to find my own or wait even longer. Last time it took 7 days. This time it seems that it will take just as long. I don't want to find my own, that is what I pay SHW for!!

They have poor services, and coverage. Every time you make any claim, they will make you pay whoever is fixing the repair, and then they will take their sweet time to reimburse you. It takes not less 48hrs before the repair gets a fix. If you want it fixed as soon as possible, you have to look for a technician yourself. Their coverage do not cover the entire cost for the repair, they will still make you pay part of the repair cost from your pocket by referring you to the policy first. You better ask that policy before making any deal with them. Read it and understand it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEIR HOME WARRANTY TO ANYONE.

In the past I submitted a claim; considering the circumstances when we are most stressed dealing with naturally acquired issues of our home; the difference: I was fortunate enough to have selected Select Home Warranty to protect my home!

Furnace repair. The agent was thorough, knowledgeable and got my claim filed quickly. The claim was acknowledged shortly after I hung up the phone. I was very pleased with the process. The information she needed from me was minimal. The overall response time was very reasonable. The agent explained the process completely. I would recommend Select to my friends. I hope the rest of the claims process runs as smoothly. Other than that I have nothing but compliments to the responding agent.

I requested information online in regards to a home warranty on a house that I’m selling. Jeff contacted me and we discussed three different policies. I’ve read over the policies, and have found some discrepancies in what I was told and what I received.

My rep Steven ** answered all my questions and because this is transferable and I can cancel within 30 days without penalty, or fees should the buyers of my home not want this plan, I placed the order. While I am waiting to see the contract via email in 2 days, so far I am happy with the service and comprehensive coverage in the plan. I had bad experiences with a main competitor in the past and I was reluctant to sign up for services such as this again. I have been assured my experience with this company will be different and the pricing and incentives are very competitive.

Absolutely the worst home warranty service I've ever used!! I am so regretting switching from my previous company. DON'T DO IT!! STAY AWAY!! I switched to save a hundred dollars this year and now I see why it is cheaper. They don't do anything for you. You will do all the work and pay for it! I should have known. It started with signing up!
It took nearly a month to actually get any info on my policy. I had to call to request my number since it wasn't immediately approved even though I signed up online. Then when making my first claim, I received several emails over a week's time saying they couldn't find a company to fix my A/C. Finally I called myself and found someone within 3 minutes. Then, I had to have the work approved on the spot before Select would agree to pay the A/C tech. Then, when the work was done, I had to PAY IN FULL (hope you don't have anything expensive repaired! ). Then, I had to scan and submit proof of payment and send it in for review. After not hearing back from Select, I had to inquire about the status, again waiting forever on the phone. Then after another couple of weeks, with no reimbursement check, I had to call to see if I was going to get one. They APPROVED A PARTIAL PAYMENT! What??
Now I am waiting for an email that I will have to sign and return in order to approve Select to reimburse me! What again??? Who knows how long it will take for them to send me LESS THAN HALF of the repair cost. And they're going to keep my full year payment for the privilege of having this horrible policy. Don't do it!!!! If you do, you have been sternly but very fairly warned!!! I promise you will regret it!!!

Select Home Warranty has been pretty good, but dealing with contractors that take too long to submit diagnosis and inaccurately diagnose issues has been frustrating. I do wish that the Select Home Warranty company would use better contractors and manage them better so that I wouldn't have to spend so much time following up with phone calls. Additionally, it seems to take too much time between the time the claim is reported to the time that the issue actually gets fixed.

Made an assumption of problem over the phone and said it was something not covered. How can that be determined with a phone call?

I’ve been dealing with a dryer issue for well over a month and in that time we have had multiple contractors assigned, including one who I told the company I would not do business with after a no call and no show. The company tried to reassign this contractor again and since then, the issue has gone without being repaired. This company is a waste of money and the contractors who work with this service do not have many positive things to say about them. I can tell you, I have not paid the monthly fee that they charge because they have not reassigned another contractor to my dryer issue and all I get is empty promises about what a valued customer I am.
Their customer service personnel do not seem to understand English and is obviously an offshore company. That doesn’t matter but when it comes to addressing the customer issues and getting something resolved, then understanding the customer should not be met with empty promises and failed service.

Your company is an absolute fraud. I made a claim for a refrigerator. You sent an unlicensed incompetent technician to my home. He told you that the unit is 16 years old. I provided you with the date of manufacture and the purchase and you are still insisting that the unit is 16 years old. You offered me $200, then $376 to repair. The technician was nasty, did not show up and then when he did a week later, he acknowledged that he misdiagnosed the unit and the unit is not 16 years old, even though you are still insisting that it is. You sent me to another unlicensed technician and they have not called me back for a week.
I am using my own technician, and you are basing your evaluation of the refrigerator on a unlicensed technician incorrect assessment. You did not even have the correct unit to base the value of the repair. Your customer service person told me, "too bad, this is our decision". How do you value the cost to repair based on information that is incorrect? Your company is fraudulent, sends technicians who are unlicensed, seem drunk and unprofessional, don't show up and can't tell the difference between at 5 year old refrigerator and a 16 year old refrigerator.
