    Woke up this AM to wet carpet in my son's room. Figured out the water was coming from the hot water heater. I shut off the supply, but I could not tell where it was coming from. Got out the wet vac and got as much water out of the carpet as we could. Called Select and they started the claim. The agent I talked to was somewhat helpful. They said they would send me an e-mail of who I was suppose to contact within 24-48 hours.

    Answered my questions. Did not try to oversell me. I like knowing that my major system will be covered when something breaks. Also the 45 dollar service call fee seems reasonable. Being able to call or go online to submit a claim Is nice. I have had other warranty companies and really got the runaround. One company kept calling me to add coverage even after saying no ten times. They kept calling so I then cancelled coverage. I had file a complaint with the FCC. That's how out of hand it was. These guys do not sit and call you over and over trying to sell you something you don't need.

    Upstairs A/C unit is not cooling, we have a 3 ton Lennox unit that is blowing warm air and is not cooling. We noticed possible water on ceiling coming from A/C unit, not sure might have a clogged drain line or condensation line problem. Had a very difficult time discussing issue with tech operator, a difficult but definite language barrier that makes communicating a problem to your company quite cumbersome. Some of the information requested such as type of A/C unit and Model number are not ordinary knower facts by most customers. Should hire phone people that can be easily understood!

    The claims submission process was quick, a few standard questions and agent advised of next steps. Entire process took about 5 minutes in total to complete. Seems repetitive to what was entered on online claims form as well. I gave 4 star rating only because agent seemed to struggle with English as not primary language and repeated answers from prepared script. Agent was courteous and friendly and thanked me for my business. Certainly hope the repair process is simple and fair.

    We’ve experiences several problems with this warranty company. Although Select does a good job of promptly assigning a technician to your claim, the quality and knowledge of the technicians has been very poor in several occasions. My biggest complaint is their inefficient approval process they have in place to address a claim. Especially when it is an urgent matter like a leak or an AC problem.

    When a technician is sent to your property, he/she needs approval before being able to fix the problem. The approval department takes between 24 to 48 hours to respond. My air condition is not cooling and the city is under heat advisory with several days at/over 100 degrees. A technician came, gave the diagnostic, we talked to 3 different associates on the phone (which took more than 45 minutes of holding, repeating myself and being transferred between people) to try to get an approval.

    While on the phone I also submitted the quote for the repair by email and it’s been 24 hours and I’m still waiting. I asked the last associate I talked to if they could expedite the process given the heat advisories and the circumstances and she said the approval department was closed. I pointed out that it was 3:54pm and she said they closed at 4:00pm and she still didn’t do anything about it. She said my options were to wait 24-48hours or pay the technician and try to get reimbursed later. I had a similar issue with a plumbing problem – a leak - where the plumber had to wait 3 hours in my house for the approval and had to shut off the water to the house in the meantime.

    On a different occasion I also had a plumber come to fix a problem in one of my sinks and he took a part to replace it and never came back and never answered my calls. I called and emailed Select more than 5 times to have them solve the problem and they never replaced the part or gave me a satisfactory answer like saying they would take that plumber off their list.

    I received a call from your sales dept and told them that I needed to think about it and would call them back. The person (male) was rude and said, "What do you need to think about, you already said you wanted this." I told him I wanted to discuss with my family and he said, "Why, if you want this?" So I hung up and wondered if I was going to have this same issue if I/when I had a claim. The next day another person called and I explained what happened. He apologized, I did purchase this service but am still upset that the sales dept would be such a bully and wonder how many others this has happened to?

    Very fast and knowledgeable. It didn't take long to file my claim and get it resolved. I received an email with the amount less deductible. I thought it would be more since the appliance was only 3 years old and not depreciated that much compared to my 22 year old microwave which I got the same ninety five dollars reimbursed. The claims rep was helpful and very courteous. The call took less than 15 minutes to file the claim. I tried to file it online but the system kept timing out so I had to call the claim in.

I was able to get additional assistance with my problem. I would recommend this company to my friends. I would like to be able to get in touch more easily with the contractors though. We had another claim submitted but had the same problems. I am not sure if there are not enough contractors or if they are just naturally busy.

    I've received a professional call from a sales representative. He explained all price details clearly and really trying to give me a good price. I originally asked for one year coverage. But he offers me a better policy stating that I can cancel it anytime with the prorate monthly charge. The monthly premium lower significantly. I'm very satisfied with my first SHW experience. Now I don't have to worry about being a landlord. For the past years, handyman and maintenance cost was so high and I was not smart to have this warranty. I will surely recommend to my friend.

    Excellent. This should say everything. I am glad that this company called me. I was looking for a better home warranty. Better service and lower cost. This is right on time. Thank you so much. My friends really need home warranties. I just got off the phone with my friend Charlotte telling her about Home Select and telling about your low cost and repair agreement. She should be getting in touch with someone in consumer service. People are very skeptical about home warranty service so many companies lie about other services just get them to choose their company.

Godfather Heating and Air stated the bearing seized causing the compressor to lock up (covered), but told Select that there was a short in the unit (Not covered). When our dishwasher stopped working Alliance Docs came out, disassembled the dishwasher to check the circuit board and left it that way. They did not answer or return my calls after.

    25 Karat Pools did the same with the pool pump. When they did answer, I got yelled at and somehow turned it into my fault that my pool pump was left in pieces for a week. A-Plus Plumbing actually explained that water has to run downhill instead of fixing the plumbing issue. They did bandaid the problem many times. And Texas Pro Maintenance will only take cash, bad mouths Select at every opportunity, and will tell you that they can fix the issue (my refrigerator) without testing anything, and then tell Select that it is trash and can't be fixed.

We've had 3 claims. All of which have been denied. Took them 2 weeks, after our refrigerator went out, to deny the repair after they had already told the technician to order the part. They gave us $350 towards a new refrigerator. A comparable one cost $950! They denied repair on our AC unit about 2 mths ago. We were out $372 on that one. Now, the AC completely went out and it's 100 degrees in TX, 90 degrees in our home. It's been a week since it went out and we have been staying in a hotel. Technician sent in his diagnosis the same day he came out.

    Finally today, they denied the repair!! Offered us $150 for our trouble. Took a week and we called multiple times a day trying to get help from customer service & yes we paid for 3 years of the Platinum warranty. This company is a scam. They take your premiums then pay nothing even if it's listed as covered in the contract. Check the reviews & horror stories of this company on Facebook. It's shocking!

We called SHW and were told that nothing could be done for seven (7) days. Are you kidding??? Seven (7) days without water or septic is highly unsanitary, let alone unbearable!! I was told that we could 'fix it ourselves' and get reimbursed, which my husband did, but were denied a reimbursement because we didn't have a specialist diagnose the problem. A busted waterline is exactly that....You don't need a specialist to tell you that Niagara Falls has come to your basement.

    At this point, we're done with home warranties, since we've ended up having to take care of all the financial responsibilities ourselves....Why bother to pay someone for service that they can't deliver. Only in America!! Sad, but true. Be cautions of any home warranty especially if you live in a rural and remote locality. I've gotten slammed for the final time. Thanks SHW for absolutely nothing!!

    AC bare bone reimbursement. Fortunately the repair fell under "reasonable" in my world, but the whole purpose of having a home warranty is to offset risk of unforeseeable things happening, like an AC unit going out. Over $900.00 later it was repaired out of my pocket, but it took the company over a week to settle my claim. The result? A pittance totally $150.00 which they said I am capped at "As per section 9.1.2 of the policy agreement." I am paying them $28/mo for services so even after a year of payments at $336 they still profited off of me. This company is nothing shy of a premiums money grab on a homeowner trying to be smart and offset some risk.

    Warranty company outright will not cover a home issue that is clearly detailed as covered in the active contract (6.3.4. Electrical. This Agreement covers the following electrical system components: (i) wiring; (ii) service panels; (iii) sub-panels (iv) switches; (iv) breakers; (v) outlets; (vi) junction boxes; (vii) ground fault interrupters;) . The explanation of the denial is completely irrelevant (Faulty Door Gasket) to the actual issue as stated by the service provider that the warranty company contracted to assist with the issue (lost neutral in the garage GFCI circuit causing all outlets on this circuit to currently be inoperable). After speaking with the warranty company for an hour I realized that we were just going around in circles and that they had no intention of honoring their maintenance contract.

    I requested an escalation of my case with their CSR which as of right now has had zero response. It is my assumption that Select Home Warranty doesn't wish to honor their contract and for all intents and purposes stole the money paid for coverage since they have denied my claim after their contracted service provider detailed a legitimate issue that is clearly covered in the signed and paid for contract. For reference, I had another problem earlier in the year which I submitted to them and as it turned out the issue wasn't covered and it stated clearly in the contract that it wasn't. With that I accepted that fact and moved on to get the problem resolved on my own. So in short I'm not trying to get something that I'm not entitled to via detailed coverage of my warranty contract.

    I have been with them for a year. I put in 3 claims for service in January. A technician came out, took my copay of $250 dollars and Select claims they NEVER received the diagnosis. So they sent another vendor out, he took the diagnosis but Select states once again they did not receive the diagnosis. It has been over 2 months and STILL no repairs. The 3rd claim warranted them to tell me they could not fix the problem. Of course that was a LOST of $125 co-pay. This is THE WORST service I have ever received in my home owning experience.

Asked to speak with supervisors but was told there was none available. 1.5 weeks and counting, the technicians they assigned do not call back. Why are the customers doing the leg work to get in contact with technicians. For the amount consumers pay and the hassle with our situation, someone should be calling technicians on our behalf and sending someone ASAP.

    Totally dissatisfied! And to be given a timeline of 48 hours to get somebody assigned is ridiculous especially if at one point, we have experienced problems already.

Only after I insisted on the insurance company finding the proper contractor to fix the oven, they started asking the right questions about the condition, the make of the oven, and requested photos.

    Select Home Warranty is a complete fraud. I've had 2 contracts with them and they have yet to honor one service request.

Earlier this year I requested a service technician for my air conditioner. They assigned 7 different technicians. Not one technician contacted me or returned my calls. Select Home Warranty service technicians obviously know they won't get paid if they respond to a service request. I was eventually instructed to hire my own service technician, which I did. When I tried to file a claim to be reimbursed, I was told the fee was too high and they refused to honor my claim payment.

    All Select Home Warranty does is collect fees from you. Their customer service is the most awful customer service I have ever experienced. If you feel like you might need to repair something at your home, don't choose Select Home Warranty.

HOWEVER, my 26 year old air conditioner went out at the beginning of July 2019. Being in my first year of home ownership, I knew I had older AC units, furnace, and other major appliances, so...logically this is the very reason I signed up with Select.

    When I called, I was told it would be over a week before a service rep would be out to only DIAGNOSE the problem. I explained I have a newborn and 2 year old that are at home and needed someone sooner. They told me to find my own company! So...I did, I found a very reputable and highly rated AC company that came out same day and diagnosed a failed fan motor and compressor. In AC talk that meant a new $3k+ system. After receiving all the paperwork and photos needed for Select's authorization department, I was told my claim was NOT DENIED, but APPROVED for $150 reimbursement...TOTAL!!! They actually had the guts to say that. They quoted section 9.1.2 (check your contract!!) that stated 3 YEARS OF MAINTENANCE RECORDS REQUIRED. Now, what new home owner has that information????

    It is now August 9, 2019 as I write this review. I never do this. I work in HR for a hotel company and train people on customer service. Never have I met a service rep and Claims Manager (in this case) that cared any little than these people.

    1. Service desk reps are not knowledgeable. Took down my claims only to find out a few days later that they don't care my claims.
    2. Support seems to want to get off the phone with you and get you off their backs ASAP.
    3. Fine-prints EVERYWHERE. And you only see them after you purchase the policy. They will not want to cover anything and find all excuses not to pay for your coverage.
    4. Sales reps promised me that I could cancel anything, but conveniently left out the fee I had to pay to cancel the plan.
    5. If you have 5 plumbing issues you will need to pay 5 deductibles for the same person to come out for those 5 jobs. Most companies, it's 1 flat deductible for the same category.
    6. Customer service is poor. They do not get back to you on-time. I have had to call them to get an answer multiple times within 1 month of service with them. And they have not covered any one of my claims. I ended up fixing them myself because their respond them and follow-up is next to nothing.

    7. They do not vet their contractors. We have incompetent people coming to simply charge us a deductible and leave.

    SAVE YOURSELF TIME, $, AND FRUSTRATION BY GOING WITH ANOTHER COMPANY. I'm switching to American Home Shield.

    Be very wary of this company. They are very good at not telling you the whole truth about your contract, claims process, and exclusions. Additionally, the Technicians they send are not trustworthy, and all follow up phone calls are mishandled and offer a lot of doublespeak. Do not trust anything anyone tells you since they lack integrity. I am cancelling my warranty with them and going back to American Home Shield or Choice. I have had a home warranty for 2 yrs previously, with no claims at all.

    We purchased an ANNUAL (12 month) home warranty policy on June 4, 2019 for a reasonable amount of $399.99. In turn, we received an additional month, which made the policy good for 13 months. On July 6, 2019 our HVAC-Unit broke-down with a faulty Interior Fan Motor. We filed a claim with SHW on July 8, 2019 and was told they would send out a repair-technician which was NOT done until June 11th. This technician diagnosed the problem as a BAD Internal-Fan Blower motor and needed to be ordered and replaced. That, we thought, would be handled and completed within the next few days. WRONG.

    We called the technician back after nearly a week and was told by the technician that SHW was ordering the part. After calling SHW, they said the technician had NOT sent in the diagnostic-work and they were NOT responsible for ordering the part. Frustrated, we called the technician back and asked him to send the diagnostics to SHW. He said, he had sent the diagnostics to SHW at least twice and because of SHW "non-professionalism" he was no longer going to do business with SHW. Called SHW back, and told them what the technician said and asked them to get another company to followup with the repair work, since we had already PAID a $60 deductible to the technician.

    After a few more days, they had another company's technician come out and diagnose the problem and got the paperwork back to SHW. After a couple of more days, SHW denied our claim. Stating, that "Replacement Parts" are NOT COVERED until 60-days from buying the policy has expired. In reading the "fine-print" of the contract we bought.it says that the initial 30-days after buying the policy NOTHING IS COVERED---they call this a "waiting period". With that said, in our case from June 4th until July 4th we are in our month waiting period. But since our HVAC broke down on July 6th, we thought we were fine. WRONG AGAIN.

    The "fine-print" states that any "Replacement Parts" are NOT Covered until after the first 30-days of the policy going into effect. Which would have been August 4, 2019 Needless to say, we were pretty irate and decided that we needed to CANCEL the policy and get our $$$$ back. This was done on July 25 2019 after 3-weeks without our HVAC in 90+ degree heat. As of today, August 7th we have not received our rebate check. We're assuming we won't receive our entire $399.99 and our $60 deductible we paid to their initial technician. Good luck. And keep your fingers/toes crossed when purchasing and dealing with Select Home Warranty llc.

    I received a call from an agent after I researched online. The agent was very informative and helpful. He asked questions to help clarify what I needed and what was available to me. He asked questions to see what specials and discounts were available to me. He took time to give me all the options and explain how each one worked. I changed companies and purchased my new plan from Select. I feel the value here is much more than I was receiving form the other company. Thank you.

    The agent I spoke to was very helpful and extremely professional and I feel happy I purchased this peace of mind, his name was Sol... Thank you for hiring a great representative. When I reviewed the value of the policy compared to other warranty companies, this company was by far the best bang for my buck. After I told the other companies no they tried to get me to go with them by offering a lower price rather than doing it. Immediately like Select Home Warranty did for me.

    I called another company and as soon as the person heard I was just looking for $$ quotes, he blurted out the costs, then hung up on me. I then called Select Home Warranty for just a quote and what the plan covered. Stephen, sales representative, was absolutely WONDERFUL! He took the time to listen to me without any 'high pressure sales'. He was knowledgeable, professional and very friendly. After talking with him, I signed up. THANK YOU STEPHEN!

    I dealt with Mark ** who set me up with a great two-home warranty program. He was very helpful in guiding me to the best package for each residence. I got long term coverage that can be transferred if and when I sell a home. Great job!

    Called in to report my air conditioning unit wasn't turning on and customer service rep was very nice. There was no wait when I called in, my call was answered right away. The customer service rep told me she set my claim up and will send an email with details about a technician. Right away I got an email stating the same thing. Just waiting for the email containing contractor info which says could take up to 24-48 hours. I was not provided a claim number but it is in the follow up email I received. I hope and pray I receive the information as soon as possible as it is already 80 degrees in my house.

    Steven ** helped me today and was very professional. He agreed to add the free roof coverage extension, reduced my co-pay to $45 and added my pool endorsement. After applying the discount my monthly billing was less than $42 which is what I had requested. I was very pleased with Steve. My wife's home in Indiana is with a different carrier and she pays a higher premium than I do with a higher co-pay. She intends to switch when her warranty expires.

    My washer would not agitate. A claim was submitted to Select Warranty. Within 24 hours, my contact information was submitted by Select Warranty to a service contractor. The technician reached out to me via phone and text. It was a little to find a date that worked with my scheduled that week. However, the service continued to work with me until we were able to lock in a date and time. I was updated by Select Warranty and a follow up email was sent to me by Select Warranty. Select Warranty/Service Technicians render prompt and excellent services. I am always pleased and appreciative of their services and professionalism.
