Excellent product. Excellent service by George **. He was very thorough and made sure I understood what I was getting for my money. Got the best plan for the best price for a long period of time, 6 years! I hope I never have to use this coverage, but the peace of mind is worth every penny. I am glad I was able to find this product and make the most of my purchase. The people there made my experience a notable one.

I had several questions for the rep who booked our contract about the service agreement. He said the agreement listed online would be a little different than the one we personally received, and so he was giving us information that was not consistent with the terms of service. Well, when we received the contract it was still inconsistent with what he told us. He then spent the remainder of the call trying to sell us multi-year packages, instead of trying to find the right information for our questions. Also, it was not very clear that we had to wait 30 days for the contract to begin. Not sure I will continue with the service, since day 1 was already misleading. Hopefully the 30 day money back guarantee holds true.

Select Home Warranty was very helpful when I called to submit a claim. My AC runs nonstop all day and doesn’t shut off til after dark. They said they will have a technician for me to contact within 48 hours. The guy I talked to was very thorough, and asked me all the questions he needed to know to help me with my AC unit. I live in a townhouse and got my Utility bill yesterday. It was $340 50. My neighbor beside me, hers was $120. Hope they can help.

My husband recently looked into several warranty companies. We did our homework, called many of them, asked a lot of questions and we were extremely pleased with Select Warranty. The agent we spoke with was not pushy at all like the other “most popular” companies. The customer service was excellent. We have not used the actual warranty yet, I will update review and give more information if or when we have to use the services.

The representative provided insight on the prices available to cover both of my homes in the Georgia and Virginia areas. Ensured I was aware of the available discounts in regards to paying in 3 installments for the annual to receive 2 months free and discounted service call. Provide comparison information pertaining to the Platinum Plan and the Gold Plan. I would recommend contacting this company for home warranty services to my family members and friends.

Jonathan ** was a very professional agent who best fit me for my needs. I also think he went above and beyond because he waited for me to be ready to purchase and was "perfectly pushy". Meaning not too pushy, but just right to remind me that I need the warranty. I happy with the value for the price, however I do not think a person who cannot pay in full should pay more and get less for the product and same service. That just seems like loyalty to the customer is not there for people who do not have money. Best fitted though for the product I needed by the customer service agent.

After having the warranty for about six months, we called about an urgent Air Conditioning issue after 6pm. We were worried it would take a day or two to have service but the repairman called us back within half an hour. He was very helpful over the phone and gave us suggestions on what to do until his tech was able to come the next morning. We even video chatted so he could see what was going on with the air conditioning unit. We are very happy with the service!!!

Ben ** was very nice and didn't mind repeating the information to my husband. He gave a great price and explained when our policy would begin and what was covered. I can't really say much about the coverage but what Ben said it covered is surprising. One thing that stood out, and I really liked, was that I could really understand what he said. He was from the USA instead of an overseas company trying to sound American.

I do my homework before I buy something, and I checked Select Home Warranty out thoroughly. I came across a great reviews by customers who had pleasure having this company as their provider. So, I decided to give it a try. I know there's home warranty companies out there that don't measure up, that they promise but they don't deliver. I have to say that I am very impressed with Select Home Warranty customer services. It was very easy to sign up and they were able to explain all of my concerns very well. I can say my home warranty buying experience was great. Well done. I highly recommended Select Home Warranty to anyone who doesn't want a hassle to get a great deal with a great price. On the top of that they were able to lower down my service call to affordable price.

Clothes washer was leaking water from several locations and after reporting the problem to Select who was very professional on the telephone, Select allowed me to find a repair company after several repair companies that Select had recommended did not respond to my calls for repair service. Whenever I had a problem with reaching a customer service representative, the representative that I would finally get would apologize for the delay. Select received the estimate of the repair and gave authorization to proceed with the repair.

We've had Select Home Warranty for several months now, but have not had reason to call. We've noticed an issue with our furnace and so today was my first call to them. Because we've not had to file a claim before now for work to be done, I had several questions about the process, the contractors, fees, and a few others. I spoke with a representative named Chase and he couldn't have been more polite. He was friendly, well-mannered and knowledgeable. He answered my questions and didn't rush me while I was trying to think of all I had to ask. In short, a great first experience with this company. Based upon this level of customer service, I can't imagine the actual claims experience will be anything less than honest and done with high integrity. Thank you.

I recently purchased a Home Owner Warranty for my Tenant who is purchasing her rental house. I had barely entered my phone number when my phone rang. The rep was courteous as he patiently explained coverages, fees, and customized a plan for me. He gave me great discounts I wasn't expecting. Great experience so far - we'll see what happens if my Tenant has to make a claim. Still too early to tell about service and customer satisfaction.

We had a problem with our Kenmore refrigerator. It had stopped running altogether and it's only 6 years old. We placed a claim and the service company nearest us sent out a technician within 2 days. We called Sears but they couldn't come for almost a week. The service supervisor for Select Home Warranty offered us reasonable monetary compensation to replace our refrigerator if we continue with our contract which we have done. This was our first experience with Select Home Warranty and we are pleased with the results and the service offered. Jack. St. Augustine

The claims team was very quick to deal with us and expedited our claim so we could regain A/C in August heat. While we didn't get the full reimbursement we had hoped, it was quick and easy to do go through the process. Hopefully in the future, any claim we have will be covered. While the comfort of having a home warranty is nice, it's disappointing to know that the value is not all that was claimed it would be when we signed up.

George was very professional and helpful. He answered all my questions and was polite and courteous.

BEWARE! WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. They will keep you waiting and never cover anything in your house. The agent convinced me to take PLATINUM PLAN over BRONZE PLAN since it covers lot more (and of course costs more!). Till date none of the issue I have called for have they covered. NOT EVEN ONE. Basically the most common issue are NOT covered! They keep you on phone for hours and keep you hanging even if there is an emergency and bathroom is flooding. Agent says they will connect me to the supervisor and keeps me waiting for 30mins then tells me Supervisor is busy and will call me back as soon as possible. No one calls me for 8 hours then I call back. Still the Supervisor is BUSY so they can't connect me!!!! Finally the Supervisor calls me back after 24 hours.
Very bad experience. Their most expensive plan also doesn't cover anything. (there is a fine print for every issue/appliance in their policy which they will refer to and say they will NOT cover the ISSUE) STAY AWAY! You will be paying ~$500 buck for nothing. I have found a technician by myself and paid out of my pocket for every issue. What a waste! Find yourself better home warranty.

Select Home Warranty has been good with the customer service.

Alan was great to work with and answered all questions I had. Would not hesitate to use again, hopefully I will never need the warranty but the peace of mind with a low low call out fee is priceless! Very straightforward process with no problem postdating it for seamless coverage when my current seller provided warranty expires.

Brandon was polite, knowledgeable and very thorough. We had problems with our current coverage from a different company that was included when we purchased this house. We usually buy new homes and were unfamiliar with how this house had been maintained and cared for. Hopefully we will not need service but at our age, completing repairs needs to be done by professionals and since we are new to the area, we do not know anyone to call for help, so having a source for referrals is very important.

It is 3 weeks now that 2 tickets were placed for HVAC. The first contractor came and said the compressor is broke due to electrical failure which he never mentioned during his visit. The company asked me to get a second opinion who said there was no electrical failure. Still the company do not want to anything for this. I have called them almost every day for the last 2 weeks with no sign of them fixing the problem. The 2nd ticket to repair the water heater was done at the same time. I emailed 3 times the picture of the water heater with no success. I have never experienced anything like this before. Sobha

Other warranty companies immediately give the name and number of the service provider, but at Select Home Warranty you have to wait and get the info through an email within 48 hours. I don't like that. Also SHW does not follow up with the customer to make sure they were able to connect with the service provider. In the past it has taken over a week for the service provider to contact me. The company still owes me a reimbursement from over year ago and I keep getting the run-around from various departments.

This is my first time filing a claim on my washer. The process for filing was easy. So far I am satisfied with the service I have received.

They are the very worst company I've ever had to deal with. Their customer service is also awful. There's no actual management. I had an AC down in the middle of summer and it took two weeks to find out they are scammers and were going to do nothing about it to help. The website says they protect you from costs but in fact it is the opposite. They take your money and then do nothing to help. Please read the policy before giving your credit card. I had it explained to me that everything was covered. Gave my credit card info then they sent me the policy 5 days later. Apparently no signature is required for you to agree to their terms even though it says initial and signature on it. Also know that when I tried to cancel they basically stole $300.00 extra dollars from the refund I was owed.
They say it's in their policy. The monthly payments become $42.00. There's a $75.00 cancelation fee... and to top it off any work you had done during the months you paid $42.00 they don't actually cover you so you pay their out of pocket costs. The whole thing is a scam. I had an old unit that went bad and rusted out and because I needed a new unit and freon put in the new unit they wouldn't cover it as they have an out with freon. Every unit requires it and it is actually the number one issue you will run into. I told them that I would do the freon myself. Just fix the rest of it. They said "we don't do partial repairs." Not really sure what they do other than take your money. I would never wish their policy on anyone just save your money and use it when you have issues. Total scam.
It's my fault for not realizing I should've looked at BBB and saw that they had horrid reviews and that they weren't accredited. They have a nice looking website but it's all lies! They don't cover anything major and have an out for just about anything. Also, cancel right away cause if they go to see how much they owe you they will tack on another month. I asked them to cancel service in July. They got back to me in August and said, "Oh well you didn't cancel till the second." That way they get to take an extra $42.00. They also start the months before you can use it as you have to wait a month before you can use it but still another $42.00.

Jonathan ** was an amazing help with my purchase. He was thorough, articulate, thoughtful. Just a great guy to deal with. I would suggest that if you are looking for a home warranty that you give Jonathan and Select Home Warranty a call. The deal that Jonathan worked out for me was extremely helpful. This could not have been done online. You needed to talk with a live human. I am a retired Realtor and have dealt with many vendors like this over my career. I was somewhat amazed with the thoroughness of my interaction with Jonathan. I am looking forward to a long association with Jonathan and Select Home Warranty.
A home warranty is a great way to protect yourself when making the largest single purchase like a home. There are literally so many things that can go wrong. This takes the most worry out of the equation. If you have not been thinking about a home warranty, I encourage you to stop and check it out. I can literally save you thousands of dollars over the long haul. Thanks again.

When we called to initiate a claim, the person who helped us was very kind and empathetic toward our issue. She took down all of the information she needed and answered all of our questions. She found a local plumbing company and initialized the process to get us some help. We received a couple messages that let us know the claim was being processed and the got a request for the three best dates and times to have a technician arrive at our home to get started.

The quote, as well as the purchase process, was super simple. I was able to set my policy to start after my current policy with someone else ended, such that I did not have to pay for two policies. Alex did an amazing job of walking me through different options and helped me pick the best option. He offered multi-year discounts, as well as offered a better price to sign up on the call v/s doing it later. No pressure tactics on sale - transparent pricing, as well as a clearly explained value proposition. I will be referring my friends to you!

The agent was very helpful and patient. My experience was better than expected and was able to sign up for coverage within a few minutes. The agent presented several additional options that I hadn't seen on the website which, in the end, saved me a considerable amount of money. I'd recommend contacting Select Home Warranty to my friend and family that are either purchasing a home or shopping around for a new home warranty provider. I plan to remain a Select Home Warranty customer for the foreseeable future.

They SAy one thing (the plumbing system is covered) but when the water heater leaks and has to be replaced, they say the water heater isn't covered! How can you have a "plumbing system" without a water heater. What they SAY cannot be trusted - GET IT IN WRITING BEFORE you enroll. And for any repair. Our A/C system (June in Phoenix area with temperatures over 110, their repair "sub-contractor" NEVER called. I called to get help and was transferred to their "Authorization Department" to get authorization for a company I picked off google. TWICE this happened - each time I had to leave a message with the "Authorization Department. They NEVER called me back.
We had the work done and submitted the invoice, then SHW wanted a photo of the unit for some ungiven reason. We supplied 2 photos and the repairing company also supplied photos. The repair was $976 so with our $45 deductible we expected to be REIMBURSED $931. SHW offered $150. I asked for the name and phone number of any of their local A/C "sub-contractors? so I could ask them if they would have accepted my $45 deductible and SHW's $150. SHW has yet to provide the "sub-contractor" data.
If they aren't crooks, they sure exhibit VERY similar characteristics. They email me to call them to discuss the matter and, as I don't trust what they say verbally, I have asked to get all data in writing (email). They have yet to respond. I may buy a phone recorder, call them, tell them the conversation is being recorded and go from there. No one should have to go through this with a respectable company that we thought would "protect" us from huge repair expenses. It seems they take your money and scrimp when "REIMBURSING".

I bought a contract and Select Home Warranty failed to fulfill it both times I tried to use it. First time was for a hot water heater that was not heating water and had water around the bottom. They refused to send out a repair person and said ANY leaks were not covered. Would not even send someone out to diagnose the problem before denying coverage. Second time I called was for refrigerator. Select said they would send out repair company but repair person never showed up. I called that company to see why they did not show and was told "we will not provide service for Select Home Warranty coverage because Select has not been paying them for other jobs they had done for Select".
I called Select and they refused to contact another service company on my behalf. Select told me to find a repair service on my own and then IF the problem was covered they would reimburse me! If they won't pay their own contractors why would I believe they would reimburse me? Canceled my policy 6 weeks ago, charged a cancellation fee, and still waiting for a reimbursement check. There are several more reputable companies out there, suggest anyone looking for a home warranty company stay away from Select.

1) Refrigerator not working: Technician came fairly quickly, collected my $45 copay, said he would be back in a couple of days when the parts arrived and never returned. He wasn't reachable by phone. They made me wait a week to see if he could be located before sending a second technician.

I am not quite sure what all of these positive reviews are about. I have had Select Home Warranty for a year now, 3 claims and the best excuses as to why they cant reimburse me. 1. Garage door went out, they called a service tech to come out. He showed up, I paid him $60 for the call and he said, "yep the garage door is out." DUH!! He called me back 2 weeks later to let me know it would be $250 to replace. SHW then tells me I have to pay out of my pocket and they will reimburse me $120 90 days after I have it installed. I haven't seen my check and this was 9 months ago....
2. My heater went out. The furnace wouldn't light properly so I submitted a claim. They had someone come out and try and repair it, that lasted about 3 days. SHW couldn't get someone back out for about a week so I had a friend who works on them come look at it. He told me the problem and the SHW tech that came out totally missed it. My friend gave me a list of things that were wrong so I called SHW and they told me unless their tech noticed this, they couldn't help me. I then was without heat, at that point, for a few days. I had to pay $1500 out of my pocket to replace a faulty heater. I read the terms and conditions on heaters on the SHW page. 3 out of the 4 components that were faulty were covered by SHW to be replaced. I said screw it, Ill replace it because I don't have time to mess with these people. I need heat. Out $1500.
3. Hot water tank went out in April. Submitted claim April 8. I kept getting emails from SHW saying they cant find a tech in my area (I live in a large city). Finally, after 3 weeks of not having hot water, I called a plumber myself and had him come diagnose the problem. He gave me a list of things that were wrong so I researched them on the SHW terms and conditions page. Again, but this time, everything that was wrong with the hot water tank was covered. I called SHW and they said they are still looking for a tech in my area, now a month out. I went ahead and had the plumber I found replace it. It sucks having a family that has no hot water for 1 month because they cant find a tech to come look at it.
So, once again, I paid $1050 out of my pocket to have hot water. After I got my receipt with all that was wrong, I submitted it for reimbursement to SHW and got the run around again. First, telling me it has to be a tech they provide, then they wanted to plumber who installed it to call them and explain what was wrong. He tried to call twice, never to get in touch with anyone. He said he wasn't going to call them back, he didn't have the time. I get it. After all this, me paying out over $2700 to have things that my SHW should have covered, I am canceling my service, much to their displeasure. The rep I spoke to didn't give one care in the world that I was canceling! Stay away from SELECT HOME WARRANTY unless you don't mind getting the run around!!!!

I do not have to worry about leaving my wife a huge maintenance money pit. Thank you.

They even don't deserve even 1 star. Without giving any star you can't write this review. That's why I gave 1 star. My experience with this company is horrible. Totally fraud company. There is no customer service. Once they will take your money you will no longer able to get any resolution from them. I never write reviews.

He is to the help and wants to get business done and does so in a courteous manner. I have heard of home owners warranties for several years. I have never really had to replace anything which is a good reason to purchase a warranty. There are a lot of items and things in a house that we all don't think about that are above and beyond the things a person sees with their eyes. Something will break eventually.

Sprinkler System. Hi. Since there is no app or email to check the status we need to call and wait over the phone for considerable time to know the claim status. To assign a Handyman services and approve the claim it took little more time but overall satisfying experience with this claim being a first timer.

I called SHW about my plumbing, explained the situation several times to someone who really did not understand English probably because she did not speak English well. After explaining several times to the person the problem, she finally decided to send a plumber over to assess the issue. I explained that when I fill the tub, as the tub fills, water runs from underneath the toilet and under the wall into the back bathroom onto the floor. The plumber came out to the house and assessed the problem (he noted that he wanted to bring the shower faucet up to code as he worked on my main issue which was the water coming from out of nowhere).
After that day in April, no one contacted me from SHW to let me know what was what. So, in May, I sent an email inquiring about the plumbing. I also called the plumbing company who told me the truth. They told me that they had not heard back from SHW about my claim or 13 other claims, but she would call me when she heard something. So, I ended up calling a few weeks later. When I spoke with the plumbing company at that time, I was told that SHW did not want to cover the labor and some of the fixtures. I emailed SHW and stated that I wanted my money back.
Whenever I tried to use the company for anything, there was a problem. I was never able to use them for any of the services of which I purchased. They sent me $40 back of $586 that I paid to them outright. Then they lied to the Attorney General's Office about my contract and the lies kept coming. I feel like I have been deceived and will never trust another company like this again. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU MIND WAITING MONTHS FOR A RESPONSE AND DO NOT MIND BEING MANIPULATED.

Claim filed, I was told I would rec an email w/in 48 hours with contact info for HVAC company to schedule technician. Instead I receive a denial to my claim "Freon leaks not covered." No technician came to my home. Confused I called and was directed to hire my own HVAC tech and send in diagnosis and appeal claim. Did so after paying a local company their call out fee.
Diagnosis - corroded coil not repairable, caused Freon to leak out. Appeal denied based on "Freon leaks not covered". Canceled my policy but not before being charged a fee and prorated amount at the non-discounted rate at which I had paid. Upon purchasing the policy I was told air handler and condensing were covered. Also beware of tricky language "primary HVAC" if you have more than 1 unit you have to pay additional per year for the 2nd unit, sales didn't tell me that.

I recently purchased a 5 year SHW for my home and a one year for a rental. I was informed by the sales agent the warranty would be effective in 30 days. Sounded fine and good... but my a/c fan in the rental went out just past the 30 days. I called and requested a service tech the following day. I was informed it would be 24-48 hours to get a work order. Not true, it was that long to get an email back saying they were trying to find someone. After four calls, over two days I finally got a work order. Add another 24-48 hours for the tech to inspect the unit. Remember it’s 90 degree plus...renters are irate. Tech arrives and determines fan has to be replaced, NOT repaired, which I found out was a limitation of the warranty. I also learned at this time (extremely poor service) that my Warranty was not effective at all.
The full cost of the repair $1090 would be mine to pay because my repair was slightly over 30 days in place. It has to be 60 days from start of the contract, not 30 days as I was told by the sales rep. I battled this issue through 5, yes 5 levels of staffing to a claims manager...on the phone for more than 2 hours. Nothing is easy as the company structure is totally set up to be email related, no personal contacts or assistance just another email communication within 24-48 hours. If I hadn’t demanded to talk with a manager, it wouldn’t have happened. Of course all this time the a/c was still out. The claims manager comprised only to say 60 days is their policy (not what I was told) and SHW would provide a $350 customer service claim. I reluctantly accepted, had the repair tech replace the fan. I paid for in total.
I sent SHW the receipt to obtain reimbursement, which they acknowledged with another email saying someone would contact me in 48 hours to confirm and initiate. Five days later, no contact... I called and learned, that their email was wrong...I had to call them to start the process. And learned that they would send a form in 24-48 hours which I have to complete and return to start the payment reimbursement process. After they receive back, they have up to 30 days to make payment. What a rip off and customer service debacle. I cannot wait for this saga to end. I will cancel both SHW contracts and get as far from SHW as possible.

Started 2 claims during the first week of May. They sent the same repair company for both issues and they were out of Beaufort SC, "Problem Solvers". Paid the 75.00 for the site visit on each claim. They ordered the wrong parts for my refrigerator and did not repair it. They told me for 2 months the part would be in in a couple of days. It never came in. I had to find someone else to come out and look at my refrigerator and he immediately identified the problems as a sealant leak. He advised me it would be cheaper to replace the fridge since the coolant system was a sealed system and the entire coolant system would have to be replaced.
I bought a new refrigerator and then submitted a request to be reimbursed. They told me I was only approved for 150.00 towards a new fridge. When I submitted my claim the denied my reimbursement because the original company "Problem Solvers" submitted an invoice for 262.oo for coming out with the wrong part they ordered and tried to put it in. This is some **!!!! So to make a long story short. I got nothing for my Fridge.
Then the second claim with my dryer was first diagnosed as a belt replacement. AGAIN FOR 2 MONTHS, THEY COULD EITHER NOT FIND my paperwork or the part would be in in in a couple of days. Again I had to find someone else to look at my dryer and repair it. Turned out it was not a belt but the pulley wheel for the belt. I then had to pay them and then put in a request to be reimbursed. I was told that the process could take up to 2 months!!!! Can you believe that crap!!!
Then when I asked to the 10th time to cancel my contract they told me by the time the deducted fees and everything. That out of 400.00 I paid for 12 months I would on receive 50.00 back because they had to prorate the last 3 month that I have been arguing with them about my 2 claims I submitted. I would advise EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY and the repair company out of Beaufort called Problem Solver!! Worst of all their agents and supervisor would never return your phone calls. They will give you their name and number but never answer their phones or return you calls. I can swear on a stack of Bibles, that within the last 3 months, I have had to place 30-45 calls to Home Warranty concerning this issue!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY or you WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY!!!!

I have been having a refrigerator problem for past 3 weeks. Unfortunately, I was covered under Select Home Warranty. So, I reached out to them to send in someone to take a look. After 4 follow up calls and multiple emails, someone was sent to my home to check out the issue. As per the salesperson, the warranty company is supposed to respond within 24-48 hours.
Once the repair technician reached home, he suggested that the fridge needs some parts to be replaced, and it needs an authorization from the warranty company. So, they sent all details to the warranty company, and the SHW started looking into it. After 4 days, I called them for an update, the rep said they are escalating the issue. After 6 days, I called again and the rep said they are escalating the issue. After 7th and 8th day of follow up, I still hear that they are escalating the issue. Meanwhile, my refrigerator remains broken. I was volunteering to refer this company to my friends in my community. Not anymore. I am sure a whole bunch of people face the same issue with this company. Claim #**

1) Waited 2 weeks for a dishwasher repair, finally had to go out and buy one myself. They gave me $150 because it wasn't quite 3 months. I spent $600 plus a whole lot of aggravation.
2) Capacitor went on my central air conditioning. Heard nothing for a week after I filed a claim. They finally told me to find someone myself. I spent $632. They Only gave me $150 because I did not have 3 years of maintenance on a home I only purchase 10 months prior.
Everyone needs to take the time to read all the tiny words they have hidden. Do not believe the salesman. Very misleading. Since I purchased warranty rating dropped from number 5 to number 11 and I understand why. Their ability to find a repair technician is non-existing, they make you do all the work and sit back and tell you why they can't pay you.

They automatically denied it stating it was a leak which is not covered. Did not even send a technician out which I would’ve gladly paid the service fee. Called a plumber and in the entire hot water heater on the inside had ruptured. That should’ve been covered As the water heater was only 3 yrs old. That water heater was covered under warranty but the labor to replace it was not which cost us over $1000. I would never ever recommend this company.

Understand that I have been on the phone with these customer service reps many many times. One customer service representative told my technician that I hired my own technician. I ABSOLUTELY NEVER SAID THAT! I was waiting on the technician and called the technician. The technician told me about the phone call. He also said that he has problems with Select Home Warranty. The part is back on order again. So my family gets to wait to have a working refrigerator.
I have had to rent a refrigerator. I paid on 6/15/19 and now it is time to pay again. Still no refrigerator. They refuse to reimburse me for my rental, even though this is their mistake. Every time I call, I can never get a supervisor. At every call, they state, "Oh I see you hired your own technician." I honestly do not understand what they are doing. I just want a refrigerator that works. I will never use this company and I will tell all my real estate friends about my issue. I will only be happy at this point with a working refrigerator, reimbursement for 2 months rental of a refrigerator, reimbursement of my service call fee, and reimbursement of the last six months of monthly fees for their lack of service. I have now wasted hours on the phone with these people. Time is money.
