    The guy who spoke with was concise and a good salesman the only problem I had was I never received my email about my coverage. I had to email and wait a few days. I think this should’ve been sent automatically. It kind of left me guessing about whether you guys are legit or not. I also think people who have HOA that covers some of the stuff you do that we should get a discount.

The representative made sure by repeating the problem so she did not make any mistakes of what issues I was having with my pump. She made sure she had all the correct information on location of pump and when I could expect a call from a tech and made sure the callback information was correct as well as email.

    Salesman was very nice and provided additional discounts that were appreciated. However, he continued to push harder than I was comfortable with to extend the contract even further. Also promised a direct phone number I did not receive in the first or send email after the sales call. Having to pay for everything right now is a bummer. Also a purchase decision must be made on the spot. Would not allow me to think on it overnight or discuss between my wife and I for more than ten minutes. If you can offer me this price today, it is ridiculous that that same price is not available for a 24 hour period.

    The representative I spoke with immediately understood the problem I was having with the initial contractor who did not return my calls and, therefore, I was unable to schedule the repairs needed on my garage door opener. The representative also tried to contact the initial contractor; however, since he also was unable to do so, he immediately had our order reassigned to a new/different contractor. Upon receiving a call from the new contractor we anticipate being able to promptly schedule a home visit to fix the problem with the garage door. We were very impressed with the promptness of the representative in handling this matter and getting our order reassigned to a different company.

    He was very polite and clear on what the warranty offered. It was hassle free. When I called I did not have to wait long to speak to someone. I had called a few other companies and this one by far exceeded my expectations. The policy covered more items like the washer and dryer and refrigerators that other companies would not cover unless I upgraded to the platinum or upgraded version that would cost the buyer more. This package had a discount and included two extra months for the same price. Other companies would only offer it for an additional cost.

I contacted Select and was connected to Allen **. Allen was very helpful. He went over all of the different type of plans and did a great job explaining all the benefits of the Platinum Plan, including the option of adding on roof leak coverage. He was very thorough explaining how the policy coverage worked as well as explaining how to file a claim.

    Allen also did a great job informing me about the three and five year upgrade options. He was very detailed in helping me understand how purchasing multi-year coverage would save me a lot of money. I was able to make an informed purchase without feeling any sales pressure.

It is stated on the service order that there was NO FREON LEAK. No mention of a condensation leak or a water line leak. Therefore the compressor should be covered under my policy. 5/21/19 - I have repeatedly called and sent emails with no results from SHW. I am at my wits' end!!!

    I purchased the Platinum warranty service. After several months on the plan my 2 yr old Samsung washer starting working improperly. I set up a service request with no problems. The appliance company that Select Home sent out came to service my washer but stated parts needed to be ordered; and I paid my $75 required service fee. NEVER heard back from the repairman. And Select Home could never get in touch with him so after about 2 weeks going back and forth with Select Home who could not find anyone in my area to fix Samsung brand washers; THEY suggested my other option was to find a repair company myself and get reimbursed.

    I asked OVER and OVER again, "Will I get ALL of my money back?" "Yes" was my answer from them. And they also said I would be reimbursed the $75 service fee from the 1st company. After I secured a company who fixed my washer it came out to $300. I submitted my original invoice and Select Home now only wants to reimburse me $150! And nothing from my $75 previously.

I can imagine this would be perfect for those with rental property, but I am a single home owner and think this is just fantastic.

However once purchased, in reading the contract I wasn’t aware that I may have to pay an additional fee over the house call fee of $60.00. So in that regards I wasn’t very happy.

    Please stay away from this company, since this is not the company you want to deal with. They knowingly and willingly make fake promises to provide you services in the future if needed. This is a total lie, and please do not get into this trap. The sales rep who sold us the home warranty told us that all the appliances were covered under this plan and did not mention if there were any exclusions in this contract. I paid him $1,050 in advance for this contract for the services to be provided in future in case of need. On 05/12/2019, I noticed some water leaking from the AC duct. I immediately contacted Select Home Warranty and filed the claim. I was told to watch for my emails and phone. Someone will contact me within 24-48 hours.

    This morning I received an email from this company telling me "after a review of the information given to us by you concerning your HVAC system, your unit does appear to have a condensation leak. It has been determined that your policy does not cover this issue, the HVAC system has a condensation leak and unfortunately condensation leaks are not covered by your policy. Please see section 6.3.6 of the policy agreement."

    Now my issue is: they never sent anybody out to look at the real problem, so how could they make this decision by sitting on their desk with closed eyes. How are they that sure that this leak is not for some other issue like the retaining pan being overfilled or the return line that takes the moisture out of the unit is not clogged and needs to be unclogged and other issues like that. Based on the other reviews posted by the various people online, this business is cheating the consumers by making any possible excuses under their fine prints whether they are existing are not to deny their services. This company appears to be is a real fraud and a cheat just collecting money from the public by selling their false commitments for their services to be performed in the future.

    My sincere advice to you - just stay away from Select Home Warranty and look for some other company. Also whatever company you decide to go with, don't be that stupid to sign a long term contract like I did with this company. I think start with one year or less to experience their way of handling the claims and extend this only if you are fully satisfied and get for the value of your money. Just remember that you are paying for some kind of services only if needed and you may or may not use these services at all.

It leads to information not properly being received. During my call I had to explain over and over which is very frustrating.

    Although the claims agents are polite, most of them don't seem to have much authority (or else don't take the initiative) to get issues handled. I have been calling in regards to the same electrical issue for about a month now. The first service provider came to my house, took my $100 deductible, said he wasn't finished and would be back, then was never heard from again (both by myself and SHW).

    The next technician assigned never called me to set up an appointment. When I reached out to them, they had no idea about the entire situation, that SHW said they would waive my $100 deductible for their service call (since I already paid someone who left the job unfinished), and were going to charge me their regular fees. I gave them my claim info to touch base with SHW, and never heard back.

    I called SHW to check on the status of them coming out to fix the issue and SHW informed me that they declined the job and that SHW would assign ANOTHER technician! I then received an email stating that SHW was having problems finding a technician in my area but that I could pay for the job out of pocket and be reimbursed... On the condition that I follow their strict protocols. At this point, I'm having a lot of trouble trusting SHW to hold up their end of the deal at all.

Then the claim seems to stall during the winter. This was a concern for me since there was a consumer incentive available in case we needed to replace an old air conditioner with an energy saving one (mine is 20+ years old, so I am thinking that there are more energy efficient systems out there), but since nothing was ever done, the incentive expired, which I may or may not have been able to use.

    I called again in early April for someone to check the A/C. It took several days for the technician to make an appointment with me. When he came out, he said it looked like a wiring issue. I have not heard from him so I called again to talk to the technician today and he said it took Select over 2 weeks to contact him when they said they would contact him within two hours.

The latest refusal was my ice maker. When I took out the policy, I specifically asked the salesperson if icemakers were covered as some warranty companies did not cover them. I was advised that they were. I signed up and paid for a year of coverage plus 2 additional riders for additional coverage. There was not an option for a rider for ice makers so I assumed the sales person had given correct information.

    Now, almost a year later, the company says, "Sorry, the sales person misadvised you." Why is this my problem and not your company's? All your foreign phone bank will say is sorry. That is not a good enough answer. How can I purchase additional coverage for something that was not offered. I will continue to pursue this but in the meantime, please believe me when I say, I am posting bad reviews anywhere and everywhere I can. No one else should have this experience.

    If I could give them a Negative stars I would! I'd like to start by saying that they have a great sales team, boy did they sell the heck out of the warranty. I chose the premium coverage as I wanted the most thorough coverage for our new home. When I explained to the sales rep what I wanted covered he recommended the premium coverage so that's what I got. At the time I purchased it I was still covered by my then current home warranty, which he stated was a great thing since I could not make a claim on home warranty through Select for the first 30 days. For me I saw this as a WIN-WIN as I would have no lapse in coverage for my home.

    I purchased the Select policy on Feb 4th 2019, my other policy covered us through the end of March. I was informed at the time of purchasing the warranty that I could cancel at any time and receive a refund. What they failed to tell me was that a full refund was only within the first 30 days of purchasing, they also failed to tell me that if I decided to cancel at anytime after the 30 days I would be charged a $75 cancellation fee in addition to whatever admin costs the cancellation would accrue.

    On March 6th I put my first claim in with Select for my heater that was making a weird nose, it sounded like a bottle rocket taking off. I could have used my other warranty company since I was still covered but I decided to see how this one worked so I put the claim in with Select. I also added a claim for my sprinkler system that was acting wonky after it being off all winter. Ladies and gentlemen that's when the fun began!

    The technician came out are looked over my heater, they said that they thought it could possibly be a valve and that's what they were putting on the report. Within the hour of the technician's visit I received a denial on the claim. I called to inquire why and they said Freon (sp?) is not a covered charge. After having spoken with the tech myself I told them that Freon was not the issue that it was a valve issue and that is what was submitted as such. The Select rep then proceeded to tell me that when they called the technician to inquire on the repair they asked him a bunch of questions, one of which was is the unit low on Freon? The technician answered it's not low on Freon but it could use some more. At that point they denied the my claim based on the fact that they said there was a Freon leak, even though at no point in time did the technician say there was a leak.

    I got off the phone with Select and called the technician and asked him about his conversation with the warranty company. He said he never told them there was a leak, that he specifically told them that the valve was worn due to normal wear and tear. I told him they denied it for a Freon leak and he said there was no leak, all he told them was it could use more Freon but it didn't need more Freon for it to work properly. He compared it to a car having 3/4 of a tank of gas, he said could it use more gas, sure, but it will run just fine on the gas it has.

    I called Select back and they went on and on about it being low on Freon and there being a leak, I said I spoke to the technician YOU sent out and the technician YOU contracted. They are saying it's the valve and you are denying my claim as a Freon issue when there isn't a Freon issue. I talked to 3 or 4 different reps before speaking to a supervisor who was no helpful in the least. The only option he gave me was getting a second technician to come out and I would have to repay the technician fee, which to me was not OK since their technician said it was not a Freon issue. We went back and forth for a few days and then I got fed up and told them that I wanted to cancel my contract and request a refund. That's when I found out all the nitty gritty details that they failed to mention during the sales pitch (shame on me for not reading all the fine print).

    I spoke to the cancellation dept and they asked why I wanted to cancel, I explained to them my frustration with getting the repair done on my heater, he read through the diagnosis and the technician report and all the notes and finally said, "Oh it should not have been denied for Freon, it should have been denied because we don't replace valves (that wasn't in the heating sections of warranty). Please refer to pg 14 chapter 9 (or whatever it was) where it states we don't replace valves of any kind."

    SO I spent almost a week arguing with them for a repair that was justified in that it wasn't a Freon leak only to be told that they don't cover valves, all that headache could have been alleviated if they had just given me the correct denial instead of going with the first wrong thing. I was more than a little miffed. Needless to say I told the rep exactly how I felt and he agreed that I had a right to be frustrated. He said he would give me 2 technician visit for free so I would not have to pay the technician fee the next 2 times I had someone come out. I agreed to keep the policy and give them another chance.

    On to my sprinkler claim.... This experience ladies and gentlemen was by far one of the most draining, extensive, time consuming processes I have EVER gone through in my 38 years! Once the claim was put in I kept getting an emails saying they were working on getting a technician out. Once I finally got a technician, about 3 days later, I called them and they informed me that they were no longer working with Select because they took too long to pay out. I called Select back and informed them of this and then 2 wks later I got an authorization to have a company of my choosing come out and diagnose the problem. They would reimburse me up to $150 for the consult.

    I had a company come out and diagnose the issue and gave me an estimate on what it would cost to repair/replace the well pump. I emailed the diagnosis/estimate and about 2 days later I received a denial. I called them to inquire about the denial and they stated that I did not have sprinkler coverage. That's why the claim was denied. I told her that she was wrong. I did in fact have coverage since I picked the premium package. She put me on hold for about 5 minutes and came back on the line and told me that she was going to resend to claims to get re-evaluated. I waited and waited and waited and waited. I called almost every day for about 2 wks and they kept telling me it was in authorizations and there was nothing they could do to get them to expedite the claim.

    I think I talked to 6 or 7 different reps and none of them could get me an answer on why it was taking so long for them to approve my claim. I asked over and over again to speak to a manager and every time I did I was on hold for so damn long. Once after waiting over 40 mins they hung up on me. Every single time I called back I spoke to someone different and would have to restart my whole issue only to be put on hold countless times for them to investigate what the problem was and at the end of the conversation I was no closer to an answer than I was before. All I kept getting was, "Call back tomorrow after 10 am and we should have an answer for you." This went on for a total of three weeks.

    Everyday calling was so extremely frustrating and time consuming. I really don't know how this company has such great customer service reviews because my experience with them was just awful. I spent so much of my work day having to leave the office to sit on hold and get nothing resolved. I finally got frustrated and called the cancellation number to talk to the same guy that talked me into keeping the policy. He said he didn't understand why I didn't have resolution or why I waited so long to talk to a manager. I told him that I requested several times to talk to a manager and was never put through. I vented and told him all my frustrations and told him that I would like a refund of my policy as getting things repaired that are actually covered under the warranty requires way too much work on my end to try to get them to do their job.

    He proceeded to tell me that if people actually read their contracts they would know that there is a lot of stuff that is not covered and had I read my policy I would see that they do not cover major repair or replacements within the first 90 days. I said woah woah woah, I was never told that when I was purchasing the policy, had I known that I don't know that I would have purchased it as that would have left me without coverage for a few months and in an older home that's never a good idea. He again told me I should have read my policy and that if I still wanted to cancel I would be charged $75 cancellation fee plus I would be charged for every day that I had coverage and that would be deducted from the premium refund.

    I feel like I was very mislead by this company. There's a lot of smoke and mirrors going on and they go extremely out of their way to make sure they DO NOT cover your items. In fact "SELECT" home warranty is a very fitting name for them. I spent a ton of hours and frustrations dealing with this warranty company. I explained to the rep that this was by far my worst experience with any company and that I wanted my full refund back due to all the pain and aggravation they put me through. He said that he would add it to the note but there was nothing he could do for me. That seems to be every single rep I talked to's standpoint; "Nothing more I can do." The lack of communication and knowledge from the customer service staff made an already difficult situation even more difficult. I will reiterate again.... WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH!

Very nice all around experience. Everyone who owns a home should have a home warranty this is a great place to start!

    I have a problem with my dishwasher door not latching properly, I filed a online repair request, the next day they said they needed more infomation, I immediatly knew that this was going to be a problem. I called them and gave all the information to them. Two days later I was informed by E-Mail my repair request was denied. Apparently they do not cover the door latch. I then called and a agent spent the next 10 minutes reading me exclusions of coverage. Once again the repair request was denied. Talk about reading the fine print. Select Home Warranty did not mention exclusions when I signed up for the coverage. I wonder how many times they use exclusions for other customers so they do not have to pay for repairs.

    The customer service was prompt and excellent. The agent on the phone was polite and helpful (Isaac). The prices appeared to be competitive with other vendors in the market. Weekend service availability was the most important selection criteria for me. The ability to call 24/7 was also very attractive. The service call fee is lower than other vendors. The multi year plan also appears to be useful. The option to transfer the plan to another house is also very useful.

    Everyone was very nice and helpful to me. My claim was handle very fast. I must upgrade my account. I really love doing business with Select Home. Every time I called in about my claim, I didn’t have to stay on hold for over 2 minutes. I was actually able to handle everything on my 15 minutes break at work. That was amazing!!!! I will tell all my family, friends and co-workers about Select Home. I was glad that I signed up last year. Every home owner really do need some type of warranty for their home.

    I purchased their, "premier warranty" and am very displeased. When they sold this to me they claimed it was the best warranty under the sun and they would even replace my furnace if needed. Well that was all B.S. as my furnace would make an explosion sound when it fired. The furnace was very dangerous and I had to turn it off, when I submitted my claim there is a drop down box to select your problem. I selected, "makes loud noise" which was the closest to my problem. Select told me they have 24-48 hours to review my claim. When they called to ask additional questions I asked them to resolve this as my heat does not work and it was around 50 degrees outside.

    The next day they denied my claim saying they do not cover loud noises, why do they even have that as a selection is beyond me. I told them my heater is not working and needs to be fixed, they said since it is not working I had to submit another claim which would take another 24-48 hours to review. The following day they called and asked more questions and attempted to deny the claim again. After being placed on hold several times and being transferred they agreed to send a technician within 24-48 hours, 'keep in mind it is cold outside in Indiana'. The technician arrived three days from my original claim and found the problem and said it was normal wear and tear and would call the warranty company and let them know.

    Select then wanted me to send pictures and 3 years of maintenance records. Since I was not able to provide them with 3 years of records they denied my claim and gave me a maximum of $150.00 towards repair costs. Since the first time I attempted to make the claim they wanted to deny it and am not surprised by their decision. I will never recommend this company to anyone. Three weeks later I still have no heat as the repair company said they tried to call Select several times to get the approval but would get the run around as well. The repair company felt bad about the entire experience and gave me a discount and said they will no longer work for Select.

    I was not pleased to find out that there would be a service fee for each individual item that needed to be repaired. I specifically asked about this prior to buying the warranty and was assured that like items in one call would be covered by the same service fee. I was totally disappointed about this not being the case when I needed the services. The repair appoints were timely and the service was great.
