I have Select Home Warranty for 2 year for my single family home and townhouse. Once we had refrigerator issue, they did not cover saying leaks are not covered. One year later, our water heater broke, the technician on site said it is not fixable as rust has kind of made it leak and can't be fixed. Again it was not covered since its leak. One year later, our AC unit has issues. I have been on the call for 1-2 hours almost 3 times, and I have not been able to get in touch Authorization agent for last 5 days. I cannot start fix or replacement with any contractor until I get authorization from Select Home Warranty.

I purchased my contract in 2016 and have been pleased with the service. I filed 3 claims so far, one for the plumbing leak, one for my ac and the last for the dishwasher. Each claim was handled as quickly as possible. Repair technicians were hired and sent to my home to make repairs. A+ service.

First the good news. The price was good and the customer service was also good. The contractor they sent was OK, I would rather have used my own. I would rate the whole experience as an 8/10. If they had sent a better contractor I would give it a full 5 star.

Do not use Select Home Warranty. They are full of it. I've been out of hot water for 6 days. I call them, they send the contractor out from Homeland handyman. All he did was looked at it, went out in his truck and got a screwdriver and tighten the panel. Said it should be hot in 30 minutes. I waited 2 hours. Get in the shower the water is still cold. Called him, he made up and excuse to tell them I need a new water heater and he will let them know. He did not turn in his diagnosis. Call them, they said they have not got his diagnosis. Called him back, would not answer the phone. Leave a message. Kept calling them back. I fax them the paper that he gave me for my receipt. All head on it was Tighten panel. Call Select later to see if they received the fax. Had not received it. Said someone will call me.
Called handyman again. Did not answer. Left him a message. He finally called back. He said he will call them and turn his diagnosis. Still haven't heard from them. Kept telling me somebody will get back with me. No one got in touch with me yet. Do not pass Select Home Warranty and do not use their contractor Homeland handyman. Both of them are a rip-off.

I had called to select for a plumbing leak claim, the service went smooth. They emailed me a plumber's phone number the same day to set an appointment. When the plumber came to my house he fixed the leak by replacing an old valve. From start to finish I had no issues with Select. The customer service was good and the plumber was good.

As a new customer with Select Home Warranty (SHW) and a Realtor for many years that has encouraged and referred several of my clients to get home warranties from two or three other home warranty companies, I find myself in a situation with SHW company that has been very dissatisfying and distasteful and did not expect it will be better with any future claims. Therefore, I canceled my Select Home Warranty policy.
We were personally with Old Republic Home Warranty since June of 1999 and I chose to change this year because their policy covered only when the manufacturer warranty ended on my A/C and I saw only good reviews on SHW company from their website. I wish I had look further at ConsumerAffairs and the BBB... Before you choose SHW you should also.
After the submission of our first claim, I soon discovered that it was one of the biggest mistakes and bad decisions I have made in a while. My wife and I experienced a lack of integrity, lack of responsiveness, frustration, and un-professionalism the likes of which we have never experienced before. The customer service and the sub-contractor, while showing to be polite in conversation, was non-existent in delivery or implementation. All we wanted was our washer fixed that is only 6 years old.
Our first Claim and the only claim was assigned to Appliance Tech Solutions, an authorized Select Home Warranty service technician. You should have a summary of my conversation with your company on our claim and summary of the in trouble items of my experience with this claim is as follows: We had to make several calls to Appliance Tech Solutions after being informed we would receive callbacks on specific dates and times. The Appliance Tech Solutions contractor tech did nothing to the washer and incorrectly assumed it was a bad motor that caused the spin and rinse cycle not to work.
Several calls to Appliance Tech Solutions who could not find our paperwork, made promises the motor was ordered and promises when they would come out to fix and never did. Appliance Tech Solutions technician told us Select Home Warranty has not paid him for several claims he satisfied and in fact he did provide the diagnostic codes to SHW. Called Select Home Warranty for assistance with their tech and/or to get another tech assigned. SHW tried 3 days in a row to get a diagnostic code from the tech and we were told they could not be reached. While I had no problem reaching the tech rep, not the number SHW gave me but the one I found from the internet which I told SHW.
I requested change of tech because we had no confidence in this contractor and was told I would get a new one expect an email in 24-48 hours, I received no email. I called back dissatisfied to speak with a manager. After already speaking with several SHW Customer Service Reps, I did not speak to a supervisor and I did not get a new tech company to fix my washer. I spoke to their Retention Department threatening to cancel my policy who told me they would find me a different tech company and did not. I was given an extension that I could never reach the Retention Tech that promised me a new Tech Rep.
I called SHW Sales and spoke to the Sales rep who sold me the policy to see if he could get me to a supervisor and he said he would transfer me to Authorizations to get another tech but in reality he transferred me to Claims where I spoke with yet another customer service rep who informed me that I could use the secure your own tech process. What I should do is find an appliance tech company and have them call SHW with a diagnostic code and SHW would pay the tech company I chose to fix our washer.
I called a couple of appliance companies who told me they would not work with the Home Warranty Company and that I as the homeowner would have to pay them first and get refunded back from my warranty company. I called back SHW and told them what I learned and I was told yes through the secure your own tech process, I would have them look at my washer, pay them and send SHW the invoice for review and payment to the claims@selecthomewarranty.com email. Never was I told that the tech had to call in with the diagnostic code If I paid them... It was only if SHW was going to pay the tech company. That could have been a miscommunication or understanding... but.
I secured Appliance Man Sam, LLC who fixed my washer in 15 minutes and the problem was a bad magnet that trigger the automatic spin cycle to stop and charged me $145. So we paid Appliance Tech Solutions who misdiagnosed the problem $45 and paid $145 to fix my washer for a total of $190.00. If you deduct the Service Fee to SHW tech $45 plus service fee to my Tech $60 that is $105 I as a customer should be responsible for and then SHW could refund me $85.00... To me for a new customer an act of goodwill or to save a contract seems pretty petty.
I called SHW on to inform them I got my own tech and emailed my invoice and got the claim manager. I was told that I needed to have the tech call in the diagnostic code first to which I informed him that is not what I was told... He said that is the process so even though you sent your invoice it would not be processed. At that point that was the last straw for me... I have tried to reach Retention several days in a row with no success.
So now I was done... and it seemed obvious to me SHW was not interested in my business and now I am no longer interested in their service. I am writing this review because SHW customer service was not satisfactory and to help someone else not experience the level frustration and dissatisfaction I had experienced. Hopefully SHW will start taking these negative reviews more serious and improve their customer service and manage their contractors better.

My last few experiences with warranty companies have been not so good until I signed up with Select. The service was great. When I called the rep answered the phone saying, "Thank you for calling Select. We are so happy you are a customer. How may I help you". This is great, I never heard that before. Anyway the whole process was great. The customer service were really nice. I was really surprised.

The warranty is worthless and they say someone will contact us for issues. 2nd year in a row no one has contacted us. We wait and wait and wait this time being 11 days without ac and finally hire our own person. The claim was denied and that's not the problem. We called every single day with a guarantee someone would call us and come out. We have a newborn and 2 other young children without ac plus 3 animals. Their excuse is we don't send anyone one out for issues with Freon, it's not covered in the policy! O great if you'd actually sent someone the first day or 2 or 3 we could have found it was an issue uncovered and moved on.
We wouldn't have gone 11 days without air. They are worthless cover hardly anything and 2nd year in a row we had to hire our own person after multiple no shows by the contractors they use! Cheaper route and more efficient to not use any warranty or go with choice. We had them prior and they were always great with someone there immediately no bs like select! Never ever again will I use them!

Upon purchasing the home warranty, I went into depth with the salesman that we had only owned our house for less than a year and did not have 3 years of service documents. He said that that would not be a problem due to new purchase of the home. We had an initial claim of an A/C leak of $100, which the company repaired and paid for with no issue. However, this month we had a blower go out. What a major hassle. We had to call the company to OK the repair, the person taking the call was not knowledgeable and it was extremely time consuming. At the end of the call, they could not OK the repair and said that a supervisor would call back within 15 minutes. My repairman had to leave (still no AC).
2 hours later I called them back, and they told me the supervisor was very busy and would call. I explained that I was told that he would call in 15 minutes 2 hours ago, they just said that he would call. I asked when, they said, "By the end of the day." That phone call never came. We called the following day and finally spoke to a supervisor who okayed the repair. 2 days later after submitting the receipt however we were told they would pay only $50. We have been trying to get an explanation, none has come.
Next we had a fuse blow in our electrical box. This is a $341 repair, again a MAJOR hassle talking to and dealing with the warranty company who eventually okayed the repair. A few days later again they state they will pay $50. What a joke, they still offer no explanation for the arbitrary amount they will pay for, even after okaying the repairs. Then our air conditioner goes out completely and needs completely replaced. SUDDENLY, we are not told that we need 3 years of documentation for servicing which must include cleaning, etc. Apparently very small print in the original contract.
This warranty company is shady all the way around. The salesman makes false claims to sell you the product. Once purchased, you will get the runaround on the phone in apparent effort to exhaust you and make you just want to pay the repair yourself. If you are persistent enough, they tell you on the phone that they offer you the small amounts (it quite honestly appears to be hush money). "Here's $50 if you just go away." To top it all off, they now tell us that in the contract freon leaks are not covered. How on EARTH does a warranty for an air conditioner not cover FREON LEAKS?? That is ridiculous! 3 claims, and so far we have received $0 and have spent several hours on the phone on hold and getting the runaround with people who are meant to exasperate and exhaust you. Still no AC in my house and the temperatures are climbing into the 90's. This warranty is not worth the paper it is written on!

I've made 5 claims with them and they have an excuse for not covering any of them. When my oven went out, it took them 2 months to get a technician to my house and when they finally reviewed the claim, they came back and said they would give me $150 towards a $600 repair, because my claim was in the first 3 months of when my policy started after a 30-day waiting period. In essence, you pay for a year of a warranty but they don't cover you until month 5. What a scam this company is!!!

I picked Select Home Warranty because of the cost savings. However I was not aware of the lack of service repairmen that they have in their network. This is a joke! Only one repair appliance company that I can use for my washing machine and now for my refrigerator in the whole D/FW area. Really? Since I had a poor experience with Seven Star Appliance (also rated poorly online) with my washing machine, I do not want to use them again. And now my only other option is to go out of their network, select a repair service company and pay upfront and wait 30 days + to get reimbursed. I will not choose this Home Warranty company EVER again and will gladly switch back to HMS and pay more but get better service. This is ridiculous!!!

They alleged they would call or respond back to us in 24 to 48 hours, which is BOLD FACED LIE. They never answer the call promptly, unless you press #1 for sales. Sales Always picks up right away, while no one else does, because they are grossly understaffed, and try to wear you down by being unresponsive, crooked and/or doing whatever it takes to evade, avoid, not pay and/or cheat everybody as much as possible. They should be federally investigated for CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT FRAUD AND RICO VIOLATIONS.

When I bought my warranty a year ago I was under the assumption that my entire A/C was covered. However they have just recently told they will NOT cover the leak.

I was having a problem getting airflow out of two vents. I called "Select Home Warranty" on March 14, 2017 for a service request. They called two different contractors. Each time the contractor did not show up or call. They could not get the contractors to respond and they did not follow up with me to tell me what the delay was. It took a month for them to get a third contractor to respond - Bates Heating and Cooling.
When Bates' technician came out, he climbed the access ladder to the attic and went no further than the top of the ladder. He told me that he had to contact Select Home Warranty to see if they would cover the work that had to be done. He stated that the duct had come loose. I informed him that the area of concern was on the other side of the attic and he never went there to investigate. And because my forte is HVAC, I knew that everything in sight from the top of the access ladder was okay. I paid him $60 for the service call believing that he would be back out to make the repair.
After three days I did not receive a call from him or Select Home Warranty. So I called Select Home Warranty and they informed me that Bates had stated that the duct had come apart due to "duct tape" that had lost its glue. I double checked in my attic and found NO DUCT LOOSE. I then called Select Home Warranty and asked for a copy of his report and they said they did not have a written report, it was a verbal report from Bates by phone. I explained that Bates had falsified his report and I wanted to know what they were going to do about it. Select Home Warranty told me nothing could be done because this was the report received from their contracted technician.
So I took it upon myself to hire a local contractor to investigate the problem - ABSOLUTELY HEATING & AIR. This technician found all trunk lines in good condition and no damage or separation. Due to the initial problem of no air coming through the vent, he added a new supply duct to the kitchen because the area of the vent was not accessible. He did provide me with a written copy of the work order. I would like to have my $60 refunded because the problem that was found was not due to faulty duct tape and it was remedied simply by adding a new supply duct which should have been covered by the home warranty or at least proposed by the Bates technician and the $200 that I paid to "Absolutely Heating & Air" for the installation of the new supply duct. Additionally, I would like to have my experience on your site for others to read.

From the onset of my first experience I have had issues with dealing with this company. Integrity, customer service and customer focus are not priority for Select Home Warranty. It takes several days to get a call back from the contractor when a claim is filed. I later found out the primary reason for this is that the company does not cover many services for the client. When the contractors come to diagnosis the problems, the company does not want to pay for the repairs, leaving the customer to come out of pocket for the repairs and also leaving the contractor in a spot with the homeowners.
Secondly, my reason to purchase a home warranty is to repair or replace an appliance or unit that is broken. I have been in a nearly new foreclosure home for approx. 6 years. The previous home warranty companies I have had an experience with will either repair or replace the item. I had a claim that was called in and it took over 1 month to get a response and it was only after I spent several hours on the phone was I finally told they would only provide a $100.00 replacement on a dryer and it would only be refunded after I purchase the item. Unfortunately, I have never had a positive experience with this company. I could go on but you get my point. WORST HOME WARRANTY COMPANY I HAVE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE TO WORK WITH.

Select Home Warranty is an absolute disaster when it comes to customer service and their sub-contractors. Below is a detailed account of my experience with a claim for my clothes washer: A claim was filed with Select Home Warranty on April 4th and a repair technician arrived at my home on April 6th. They were unable to diagnose the issue but stated they would do some research over the weekend and get back to us on Monday. Monday came and went without hearing from the repairman. After numerous attempts to contact the repairman, finally on April 11th I make contact with him -- he states he is unable to diagnose the problem so I need to call the warranty company back.
When I spoke to SHW they told me they would have another repairman come out. He arrived the same day, April 11th, at 1030 AM. He came in, checked the washer and stated that it was the main control board. He'd have to order the part, which should take 5 days and he would be back in touch to install the part. On April 17th I contacted this repairman who stated the part should be in no later than Wednesday the 19th and he would call to schedule a time on Thursday the 20th to put it in. After several attempts to call him on the 20th I was able to make contact by text. His response was that the part that came in from SHW was wrong and he had to re-order the part and it would be another 3-5 days.
At this point I called SHW who informed me that the service tech had not completed the paperwork for review until late that morning, April 20th (9 days after he had been to the house). Furthermore they stated that the paperwork wasn't complete and asked if I could take pictures of the washer and email the pics to them to go with the file for review. I sent the pictures within an hour and confirmed that they had been received. Same day within a couple hours I received an email stating that I had been approved for a $185 reimbursement which may be used toward repair or replacement. Note: this unit is less than 3 years old and cost $800. It went on to state that it was determined that the cost of repair would exceed the value of the unit.
I called back and talked to Felicia who stated that the email had been sent in error and to disregard the email. Someone would be calling me within 24 hours. I called back the following day and was told that the claim was still in review and I would hear from someone by close of business, 7 PM eastern time. Needless to say that time came and went without a call from SHW.
On April 22nd I called back the claims department, first speaking with Brandon, after being placed on hold for 22 minutes, who told me that I had received an email that they would reimburse me $185. I explained to him that I was told on 2 separate occasions to disregard that email, that the claim was in review. I finally ended up asking to speak to a manager: I was connected to Richard after 12 minutes on hold, who turned out to be another claims rep. He could do no more than Brandon. When pushed to put me in contact with a supervisor, I went back on hold for another 13-14 minutes. When the phone was picked up --- it was Richard again. He hadn't done anything except put me back in the queue to speak to a Claims Rep.
On hold once again for 14 minutes, I was put in contact with Mike, who stated that the claim was still in review and I would have an answer on Monday when the Claims Management staff was at work. Thus far with SHW I have come to believe that there is no one at the Claims Department nor at their sub-contractor level who is competent.
The first service repairman could not identify the problem and never called back. The second service repairman identified the problem as a bad main control board, which now makes me question both repairmen, however, he lied to both myself and my wife on numerous occasions, didn't complete the necessary paperwork for 9 days, then it was incomplete. Customer Service at SHW is totally a joke. Everyone is an expert at saying "I'm Sorry" but there is no one who can address an issue or fix a problem.
It's now been 18 days without a clothes washer with no real end in sight. I paid several hundred dollars for the home warranty up front on this home and other properties. To say at this time that I would never renew with SHW is an understatement. That's not to say that Monday my problem won't be handled to my satisfaction and I change my mind, however, based on the interaction of the past 18 days. A lot will have to improve.

I had trouble with my a/c not being cold so someone came out and added Freon but never looked at anything else... It still didn't work so they came out again with the approval of Select warranty... Turns out the coil was bad. I was told that it was covered, never heard so called back. The excuse is now that the coil isn't covered... Any excuse not to pay anything. I asked to cancel and got left on permanent hold. I don't trust these people at all. Gladly take your $$ then don't cover anything... Always an excuse.

We purchased a home warranty from Select Home Warranty in September 2016. The sales rep told me on the phone that if I purchased the warranty "today" he would give me an extra two months coverage, that should have been a red flag but I missed it. When I received the warranty via email/electronic copy the extra two months was not reflected in the terms of contract, and when I called them to correct it, they said that company policy was that the first month was a waiting period and the policy didn't actually take effect until November 2016. Which didn't make sense but after several attempts to get clarification/correction I gave up.
Then our refrigerator went out and after calling the SHW service desk we were told that they would send an email with the name of a local service contractor and then we were to contact the service contractor to make arrangements to repair the fridge, end of day one. Day two, no email was sent/received from SHW and after calling them back was told that the claim was submitted and they were trying to find a local contractor to service the fridge, and assured us that we would get an email that day, end of day two. Day three. No email was sent/received from SHW and this time I called and requested to speak with a manager in the Customer Service Department rather than the Claims Department. The person who identified themselves as a manager in the Customer Service Department apologized and said they would expedite the claim and we would get an email shortly to assign a local contractor for our claim, end of morning day three.
Day three afternoon. No email was sent/received from SHW and upon calling them back and speaking with different customer service manager I was told that they didn't have any local contractors on their list in my area and that I could call my own service technician and have the fridge serviced but if the amount was over $100.00 then the service technician had to call SHW Contractor Dept. and get an authorization number before doing any actual repairs. Really, they expected the service technician to call and get an authorization number. To make a long story short we still haven't received any assistance from SHW and after the local service tech. diagnosed the compressor being bad we purchased a new refrigerator, and are still trying to get compensation from SHW, but to no avail.
UPDATED ON 04/27/2017: Our fridge broke and after repeated calls/3 they claimed they were looking for a repair technician and never contacted us at all. Finally after the 3rd phone call they said they didn't have anyone to service the fridge and told us we could get our own technician but if repairs were over $100 the technician, only the tech could call, had to call SHW and request an authorization number before repairs would be authorized. After we found A technician to come out he diagnosed the problem was the compressor and actually called SHW while he was still at our house, and they told us they would send an authorization number but it never came.
When we called back they said that the compressor was not covered because it was part of the sealed system, even though the contract says that it covers all components of the refrigerator necessary for operation. At present we paid $167 to get the fridge checked because after 3 days SHW said they didn't have anyone, and the policy says we only had to pay a $45 service charge for service. Beware of this company. They are terrible.

Be wary about this home warranty company and be sure to read the small print. They do not cover freon leaks and they used that as an excuse not to cover my a/c condenser which failed because of normal wear and tear. They also only pay the depreciated value for an item that needs to be replaced. So, if you have an old appliance that fails, they pay virtually nothing.

First of all if you want a policy to use primarily for A.C. do not use them. They will find any small detail to not cover repairs. I contacted them on Wednesday morning to file a claim because the A.C. was not cooling and there was ice build up outside on the unit. They contacted a contractor, who did not show up until 8:00pm Wednesday night. This is Texas so it is extremely hot during the day. The following day we did not hear from the contractor, so I called Select Home Warranty to see if they had a diagnosis yet around 11:00. They had not received one, so I contacted the contractor. He said he had already sent it in and that he was planning on being at the house that evening to fix the AC.
So I contacted Select again and they said that they had not received anything. I told them what he said, so they called him while I was on the phone. They said he was out on another job and when he gets in he will submit the diagnosis and head to the house. Ok. So Friday morning thinking this was taken care of I get a call from my tenant in the morning saying that the contractor never showed/no call. Again I call Select. They said they had not received a diagnosis yet. Again I call the contractor. He said he submitted the diagnosis, had the parts for the ac and was going to contact my tenant to come by that afternoon. Around 1:00 he is still a no show. I try calling with no answer and texting him every hour with no response and this is the owner of the company. Again I call select, they try calling him also with no answer.
This is now going on day 4 with no ac. I am basically pleading with them to do something. They tell me that can't do anything without a diagnosis. If they call another contractor it would most likely be Tuesday before they could come because their contractors do not work on the weekends, or I can get my own contractor but if I do that they are going to take out another 45 dollar fee, even though I already paid it to the contractor that never showed back up and that if I didn't have a 3 years worth of maintenance shown they would only cover up to $150. All options were worthless. So select recommended not getting my own contractor and they would see if they could find someone else on Saturday. So I get an email sat saying they got a new contractor and he would contact me in 12-24 hours. So we are now on day 5 with no ac.
Finally on Sunday night the contractor comes by. He adds Freon so at least the house will cool. But he finds the evaporator coil is broken and needs to be replaced and he submits the diagnosis. So Monday I hear nothing. Tuesday I finally get an email, and guess what. Of course that not covered. I left messages 3 times to get clarification from their top manager, he said the only one above him is the board of directors. When we asked before to escalate all the issues we were having, no answer or call back on Tuesday. Wednesday again left 2 messages with no answer/call back. I called the claims department and let me just tell you if a contractor says there is a leak at all regarding your ac, no matter if it's because a part is broken which causes the leak, they immediately shut it down and say it's not covered.
This company is just in it to take your money and they will do whatever it takes to not cover your claim. And every customer service rep I talked to was rude, uncaring, and unwilling to help with the situation. And I had to talk to a lot of them during this 6 day process. And are still dealing with them. They did not care at all that he was in a hot house for 6 days in Texas. So, please go with another company. We used American Home Warranty and we should have never switched. They came out the next day, diagnosed, and fixed our A.C... with no hassle or issues. This is a legitimate review from an actual customer of select home warranty.

In May of 2015 we bought our home and had a 1 year home warranty come with it. When that expired I called this company in July 2016 and bought a home warranty for my home.

After getting upset with me because I kept asking if he was sure they covered this furnace I bought the warranty with him telling me I just couldn't have a claim in the first 30 days!
In March of 2017 my thermostats seemed to be messing up so I called after 2 calls. They finally filed a claim then called to tell me at first that they had no one who could work on this furnace to use my own technician and have them send them a quote. So we did! Then they called and said give us 24 to 48 hrs to approve. The next day we received a call saying they were submitting it to a review board and it would be another 24 to 48 hrs. All this while it snowed twice and was very cold.
Finally another 48 hrs later we get a call saying "Sorry we don't cover Geothermal furnaces." When I pointed out that I had specified this in contract they said: "OH let us look." Came back on the phone "Oh yes I do see that. Well if you will submit 3 years of service records we will send it back to the review board." I asked for a manager who transferred me to a cancellation department who disconnected on me. I called back and asked for the sales dept. where I told them I was interested in buying a home warranty. I gave them a false name and I again specified a Geothermal furnace to which I was told "No problem and we have a lot of coverage in your contract area." After asking them what the stipulations were they again told me I had a 30 day period which I could not file a claim!!!

The compressor to my HVAC system was making loud, squealing noises so I opted to completely shut the system down. When I called Select to ask for service, they said they do not schedule service for "noises" complaints.

They said I should call my own HVAC person and have them investigate and they would reimburse me depending on the repairs. Knowing at this point that is the only way I would get anything done, I called an HVAC repair/service company. As a result of the technician's investigation/troubleshooting, he determined I had very low-pressure readings and was lacking sufficient amount of freon. Upon further investigation, he determined the coil on the air handler was not working properly.
When I called Select to notify them that the technician was available for a conversation, he explained to them what he had found. They called me back and determined, without even seeing my unit or verification from my service technician, that the freon leak was the reason my coil went bad and they stated they do not cover any problems related to freon. This is the fourth service call made to Select for various reasons and they have not covered a single problem. I will be canceling my contract as I am NOT paying them to do absolutely NOTHING!!!

My furnace went up a week ago (Wednesday). I made the claim online and had to follow up the next day because I never received a confirmation. They did send a contractor that day and he told me I needed to have my furnace replaced. He said he would call Select and call me the next day. I never heard anything. I called back 4 times over the weekend and each time they told me the contractor had not been in contact with them and I was "top priority" and someone would call me back as soon as possible.
Come Monday, I still had not heard from anyone. I reached out to the contractor and he stated he was unable to get in contact with someone at Select to report his findings. I called Select on Monday and they stated again that didn't hear from the contractor. I asked if they could reach out to him directly because he couldn't reach anyone regarding the claim.
Tuesday morning, a claims representative called me and said they were able to talk to the contractor. He then asked me if I had the last three years of maintenance done on the furnace. I told him that I had only lived in the home for a year and would not be able to provide that information. He then told me the only thing they could do was reimburse me $150 after I had the furnace replaced (and they weren't even willing to help me contact the contractor to have it replaced).
I then asked him if this is something that the salesman should have stated to me knowing that I had just recently purchased my home. He said Yes but he was just trying to make a sale and they do not have to deal with the backlash. I would love to know how I can provide three years of maintenance when I was not the prior owner, sounds crazy to me! Needless to say, I will be cancelling my policy. I would rather lose out on the money I spent than continue to deal with inconsiderate, sneaky people.

I have been with Select Home Warranty since 12/30/15 and recently renewed my contract in 12/2016 with the representative Kyle **. Since that time period I did not file a claim until a few days ago. 2/3/17 to be exact to request service on my refrigerator. I submitted the claim form electronically and received a call on the next day from a representative to get more information on my claim and was told that my form was submitted to dispatch. Two days passed and I never received a call from anyone to confirm the form was received or if a repair person had been notified. I must add after having a contract with American Home Shield that had excellent service in follow-ups and call backs I was expecting the same service from this warranty service. Unfortunately, this was not the case, in fact I had a bad taste in my mouth after speaking with Edward, ext. ** that declined to give me his last name when I asked him.
I explained to him my experience of not getting any confirmation from the service repair person and it had been two days in which I submitted my claim form, and God forbid if this would have been an emergency I had not gotten a follow-up by anyone. He was rude and tried to give the excuse that the order had been submitted to Rick's Appliance, but there was an emergency the reason no one had gotten in touch with me. I was not given an option and nor did he suggest he would submit the claim to another contractor to meet my service request on my refrigerator.
He (Edward) abruptly end my conversation by switching the line over where there was music on the other line. Before he abruptly and disrespectfully disconnected me indirectly I told him that I wanted to terminate my contract and his response was that since the call and claim had been placed that he could only refund the difference of a prorated amount of 199.96. That amount was an auto draft of $99.98 in December when I accepted to renew my contract and another $99.98 drafted on 1/30/17.
The prorated refund he quoted was $56.20 after the adjustment. I called to speak with the representative that I renewed the contract with Kyle **, my customer representative, 1-855-267-3532, to explain the bad experience I had and how rude his manager was and Kyle asked that I hold while he spoke with Mr. Edward to resolve the matter. The outcome was negative results, this business has to be looked into to avoid other customers being treated in such a manner.

I asked to speak to a supervisor whose name is Charles. He told me that there was nothing that they could do about it. It had to go to the claims department to see if it was covered and they had to see why it's not working which didn't make sense to me. I asked him if he didn't know if the motor was covered and he said no so my question to him was why would it cover heating and air if the motor isn't covered. I told him that I would call the Better Business Bureau. I also said that I will give the company a bad review. I have called the company on three different occasions and they have not fixed anything but did receive payment.

I have had 4 issues so far and every single one was denied. I showed proof that what they were saying was untrue but the person (Charles) would say his piece, state something incorrect and then stay silent on the line. I would show proof that what he was saying was incorrect but all he would only say "Is there anything else I can help you with". Basically ignoring what I would say. On each occasion I have spoken to the techs that came out and they stated that they knew the company would not repair. They look for any reason to deny. My advice is to stay away from this company. Hopefully with enough reviews they will go out of business soon. My claims were for 2 AC's and then for 2 Heaters a few months later.

I purchased the top of the line home warranties from this company for our primary home and a rental home that we own. I received a call from my renters stating that the hot water tank is leaking and they don't have hot water. I placed a claim with Select Home Warranty on 12/29/16 early in the morning. I received an email on 12/30/16 stating that they have assigned a contractor to go look at the hot water tank. I called and talked with contractor and he said that the hot water tank needs replaced and he submitted this to Select Home Warranty.
I then called Select Home Warranty to expedite this since we are coming upon a Holiday weekend. Select Home denied the claim because the contractor had stated the "drip leg was originally installed improperly and upside down". I let the contractor know this and he said that the drip leg has nothing to do with the water tank leaking and he had never heard of this. Bottom line, Select Home Warranty will deny a claim for any reason they can find. This hot water tank is from 1991 and needs replaced. So, I will have to pay for the water tank to be replaced even though I paid for the Home Warranty. I will not renew with this company. They are slow to respond and will not pay for anything if they can find a way to get out of it. If you do use them, keep each and every receipt from all maintenance on any of your appliances, HVAC etc. or they won't cover it either.

Over the last 6 months, I have had to contact Select Home Warranty multiple times. On a major oven issues, I am still trying to get resolution after over 4 months of constant contact. They are so unresponsive and at every turn find excuses to give lousy service. I recently was promised by Jermel (Customer Service Manager) an amount to cover a problem for my oven. The oven needs $800 in repairs, he only authorized $200. Now, when the documentation came through to sign, they are only authorizing $130. I then called back to the customer service department to get a resolution. I was told that they had to deduct the $45 service fee. I then had to explain that I paid the $45 service fee to the technician that came out earlier on the call for the service. The person on the phone had no authority to fix anything and had to defer to Jermel who is now supposed to call me back.
Even if they found a justification to charge me $45 co-pay again, the math is $200-$45 which is $155 and not $130. Seriously, don't walk away from this company. RUN RUN RUN. BTW, years ago, I had **. I remember having to process a claim for a major repair. The experience was straight forward, honest and easy. There is absolutely no comparison with Select Home Warranty. I repeat, Select Home Warranty is a terrible company. Do not do business with them!!! I wish that I could give a ZERO star rating. This company is TERRIBLE, and Jermel is awful.

I had a plan with Select Home Warranty for 4 months when I had occasion to use it to get my dishwasher repaired as it wasn't draining properly. When I placed the claim I was told the contractor, Delta Appliance, would get in touch with me within 24 hours. 36 hours went by and I finally had to call them. They didn't want to come out for another 5 days but I convinced them to make it 3 days. The serviceman came out, said we needed a new drain pump, collected his $60 service fee, and said it would take about 2 days to get the part. 3 days went by and when I didn't hear anything I called Delta. The person that answered the phone said "oh they didn't call you" and said she had to look up the information and would get back to me within 10 minutes. Within 10 minutes I got a call from Select stating that my repair had been approved and that they'd pay for the part but not the labor.
I told them there was nothing in their contract that stated they didn't pay for labor as I'd read the whole thing twice but they cited some paragraph toward the end of the contract (it wasn't contained in any of the paragraphs regarding each appliances repair) where it was buried at the very end of the paragraph in the incidentals they didn't cover like door handles, damage to the surface, etc. and the mention of the installation in that paragraph made you think it was only referring to items in that paragraph but they use it to get out of paying for the labor. I asked how much the labor would be and they said about $90. I promptly cancelled my contract and told them what they could do with it.
When the cancellation department called me back to see why I was cancelling and when I told them about it they claimed it was how they kept the cost of their contracts down. Now I'd done plenty of research before signing with Select and costs were all the same within a few dollars of each other and the only thing that varied was the service fee depending on the service fee amount you picked. I complained to the Better Business Bureau but all the company did was refund the most recent payment they'd collected. Now it's on to the Attorney General to get them for fraud.

In January 2016 we were looking for new home warranties for our new house purchase. Select Home Warranty seemed to have the best rates. Other home warranty companies also contacted us and several of them said NOT to go with Select Home Warranty. We ignored their advice and went with them anyway. In March 2016 our garage door opener broke and we couldn't get the garage door opened. I called SHW to file a claim. Since our cars were stuck in the garage and we needed to get out we needed urgent service. SHW told me to go ahead and find a contractor and get it fixed ASAP and that SHW would reimburse us for the cost minus the service fee. I found a contractor, they came out within several hours, fixed the garage door, I paid $200 and we were taken care of.
I submitted the receipt to SHW for reimbursement. Over a period of 6 months, I got passed from person to person and never received my reimbursement. I had to resubmit the reimbursement several times due to it not being in the system. I got disconnected several times and was put on hold for as long as 30 minutes on other times. Some, not all, of the customer service reps were rude and seemed overworked. To make a long story short, I finally received the reimbursement check in September.
On December 6, 2016 I filed a new claim for plumbing issues. The claim was filed, a service rep called me and confirmed the claim. She was not pleasant and seemed a bit rushed. She told me that I would get a confirmation email along with a list of contractors to call within 24-48 hours. As of this writing (December 19, 2016) I still have yet to receive that email. Once again feeling left out and forgotten. The feeling that I now have to call them again, be put on hold, talk to a rude customer service rep, and be told my claim is not in the system, passing the buck again.
At this point, I've come to the realization that SHW is incompetent, poor management and customer service, and really just wants your money upfront. I already paid in full for the warranty. They got my money and I hope they are happy. I'm taking my business elsewhere and filing a complaint with the BBB. In a nutshell, DO NOT choose Select Home Warranty unless you want bad, slow, or no service at all. Go elsewhere.

It is crystal clear in my case that Select Home Warranty makes all effort to NOT cover our failing HVAC system. My husband and I purchased our home in April of 2014 and maintained our HVAC through a professional and licensed contractor since we bought it. Now Select home warranty requests 3 years of maintenance which we don't have simply because we HAVEN'T BEEN IN OUR HOUSE 3 YEARS! So when the contract says, "This Agreement covers household appliances and systems when they become inoperable due to normal wear and tear," THEY LIE! It only applies if you can show 3 years of maintenance record like the contract says at the bottom of it! This is a shame!
I specifically asked the rep before buying if our old HVAC would be covered and the answer was yes without ever mentioning the need of 3 years of record! I totally feel I have met the requirements they asked of me but THEY DON'T! Also they refused to cover a simple plumbing leak. Reason? It was not properly installed!?! SERIOUSLY!!! Our home was inspected twice before we bought it! Bottom line: They don't care but trick you into thinking they will be there for you. They are WAY OVERRATED!!! This company is BAD, BAD, BAD! I am so glad I didn't buy a 2 years contract. I wanted to check how good they were and I am thankful I did. They won't see a dime from me at the end of that contract!

It took them almost 2 months to find a contractor to even contact us! LUCKILY we still have our warranty with Samsung & it got fixed within a week.

That took 4 days. Then they finally assigned it to the RIGHT contractor, who was superb! That took 3 extra days.
The problem was when the contractor contacted SHW to get an approval for a new one, they gave him the run around that lasted 2 more days! The contractor told me that they asked him to get a generic or the cheapest one he can find & the contractor told them that there is no such thing. After all this wasted time, my coverage ended but my claim is still open. They TRIED to tell me that they can't cover to replace it. I had to fight tooth & nail for them to transfer me to speak with a manager! Ultimately, they only partially covered it & I came out of pocket for the rest!!! THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!
