I have just subscribed to your company's home protection plan. Michael **, the representative that I spoke with, was very informative and helpful. When I had a concern regarding an issue, he developed a solution immediately and followed through with it. Michael is an excellent representative for your company. I find Michael credible and very nice to work with on the phone. I look forward to long and successful collaboration with your company. This is primarily due to Michael's presentation of Select Home Warranty on the phone.

Sales rep listened to my request and responded with a copy e-mailed to me followed up with a ''hard copy'' in a week/10 days. The sign-up was a pleasant experience. I was with AMERICAN HOME SHIELD AND had to leave them due to poor customer service and lack of follow-up. I look forward to being a customer of Select Home Warranty and hope when I need their service they will be there. I like the co/pay amount.

Great competitive pricing and coverage. I had a few issues with what was originally quoted and then was told that didn't apply to me when actually going to purchase, however overall great transaction! Looking forward to service for years to come on our new house! The only negative thing I would state is that after already setting up a quote and speaking with one agent, I kept receiving calls from another agent (even after telling the agent I was already working with my original agent) (and emails that honestly almost made me want to not go with Select).

Select Home Warranty is the worst company I've ever had to deal with. I wouldn't really call them a company. They take over 3 weeks to approve of a freezer repair when they know I didn't have use of the freezer. Select Home Warranty says they will reimburse me if I pay to have a faster repair done but they do the same thing with that, stall, stall, stall, forcing me to file a small claims lawsuit to recover my money. I would stay away, far away.

Alan was friendly, very knowledgeable and helped me in my decision making. As soon as the purchase was made, I felt so much security knowing that my home was covered under your warranty. I have already recommended your service to two of my friends/neighbors. My son is in the process of buying a new home and I plan to discuss your warranty with him as well. My husband and I have our own medical practice and we are considering buying your warranty for this building as well.

Alan was amazing to talk to. He was knowledgeable and engaging. He knew all of the answers to the questions that I had and tried to get me the best deal that was available.

I would highly recommend both Select Home Warranty as well as Alan to friends and family. I am grateful to have our house covered by them.

Salesperson was polite and informed. He seemed genuinely concerned with getting me the best policy. There were several options from which to choose; however, he carefully explained the benefits of each and made appropriate recommendations that were tailored to my particular needs. This could have been an awkward experience, but the professionalism that the salesman displayed was not only comforting, it instilled a confidence in me that I was making a good, measured decision. I am pleased that my realtor suggested Select Home Warranty, and I fully anticipate I shall have no regrets for choosing them as my insurer.

I was impressed by a 9.3 rating, but the price break and warranty extension plus reduced service fee in the five year package was absolutely perfect for a retired widow living on a set income.

After close review of my contract there are LOTS of exclusions/conditions. Their Google ad said I get "FREE roof coverage." Turns out it's "roof leak coverage" that doesn't include shingle repair.

I just bought a new policy with SHW. I am happy with the policy and think I got a good price, but the only thing that I didn't really like is the price started at one point and when I said I wasn't ready to commit at this point, the price kept dropping. I just wish that the final deal I was given was offered right at the start. I don't really like when companies offer one price and then keep dropping it, makes me wonder if I should have held out longer and would have gotten a better deal still.

I wanted to purchase a warranty for my young buyer clients so they will be protected while they "get their feet on the ground" as new homeowners. This policy will give them peace of mind and will enable them to begin their adventure with confidence.

During our conversation it was made very clear that by paying the yearly fee it would result in a lower per visit charge. This was a very important feature although we don’t plan to need the service; however, the salesman convinced us it was better safe than sorry.

My conversation with your representative was both professional.and productive. He allowed me to elaborate on a very negative experience with another Home WARRANTY Company. I wasn’t rushed and more importantly, he did not “badmouth” or say negative things about the Company I was complaining about. If I had one negative thing to say during our conversation, it was when I was told that things on appliances that were considered “cosmetic” such as racks in ovens or shelves in refrigerators etc. A repairman tried to fix my racks in my oven and now I am not able to remove them to use my self cleaning feature or to adjust the levels so that was a drawback for me since I paid over $3K for the range.

Initially I was under the impression that your item value would be close to current market. This is not the case in this situation. You can't even purchase a garbage disposal for the $75.00 reimbursement you offered and I still have to pay for installation which is at least $100.00. Originally when I purchased this warranty the sales representative claimed the age didn't matter and that your company would take into consideration the fair market value. I don't expect the exact value but at least a fair market value. The average price I'm seeing is above $75.00. The lowest I've seen is $90.00.

It is a large up front cost for the 6+ years of coverage I purchased, but within 2 years the warranty nearly paid for itself due to repairs needed to my AC, Fridge, and Garage Door.

Microwave claim process went well. Replacement coverage was less than I had hoped for Based on what I received as replacement and coverage of costs to get the unit replaced I am concerned about future usefulness of the coverage from my policy. I doubt that I will renew the policy. I am not sure what the process is for computing the depreciation of the unit, but it was only about seven years old so if that is typical of the computed value then I probably wouldn't get very much considering the cost of the coverage.

Better value than Home contract that does not include appliances. Some competitors do not cover some things like a Geo Thermal Heating/Cooling system but Select Home Warranty does for a reasonable upgrade add-on fee. I have heard the commercials for this type of coverage plan and was curious about the extent of the coverage and the price for such a plan. When contacted by the service advisor he was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions and concerns without a "let me check on that" moment. It's never nice to spend money for something you may never use but things do have issues with home ownership. This plan gives comfort for things that could go bump in the night.

I chose Select Home Warranty because of all the good reviews online. When I filed my first claim for my dishwasher, I filed it online and received an email saying I would hear from someone is 48 years. 2 days later, I received an email saying I had to call them to explain the problem. More waiting time on the phone and the same explanation that I emailed originally. The agent said someone would be contacting me within 48 hours. So 4 days from my initial request and still nothing has been done.
A week passes and I hear nothing from anyone. I called them back and they say it was a mistake and they would get someone to call me within 48 hours. The technicians came out 5 days later and told me it would cost $500.00. Select offered to reimburse me $150.00. I bought the premium package! They told me they couldn’t reimburse me more because I had only had the policy 3 months?! When I went to cancel they charged me a cancellation fee and said since I had the premium for 4 months, I would get 1/3 of my $400.00 premium back. This is truly a ripoff. The technician who came out said they hate to work with Select and recommended I get a new home warranty policy with First American Home Warranty. I was also told that companies like Select buy websites to make it look like they have good reviews. A true SCAM.

He also never returned phone calls or even ordered the part which should've taken a day. I don't even think he's a licensed contractor!! I called Select to complain and they could care less until I said I wanted to cancel my policy, then they jumped to attention and said they'd have a new contractor assigned within 24 hours! I called 24 hours later and the representative said no request was put in and she would have to do it and I will have to wait another 24-48 hours now!!! I'm out the overcharged diagnostic fee, my furnace still isn't fixed, and it doesn't look like it's getting fixed anytime soon. They give you a major runaround like others have said, do yourself a favor and research other companies.

It has been ONE whole month since I opened a claim with Select Home Warranty to fix my refrigerator. They contracted a company that doesn’t keep their commitment. The technician was supposed to come between 5-8pm. He did not arrive at my property until 10:40 pm. The following day he came and said we need to order a part and demanded he be paid $75 in cash and would not give an invoice. When I called Select Home Warranty they just asked me to wait. I paid within 4 minutes of getting the invoice the following afternoon. Two weeks later, the first part doesn’t work so technician said we need another part. Select Home Warranty through the technician said they would make a decision to buy out my refrigerator - I contacted them and they said they had all pictures and information needed to make that decision and promised a conclusive email in 24 hours.
72 hours later there was still no word - when I finally called them myself, now they are saying they need the serial and model number of the fridge and need 24-48 hours after that to process the claim. All this when we don’t have a working fridge for ONE month. I don’t understand how they can explain that a technician came into my house and determined what part - sorry PARTS they needed to order without knowing the model and serial number of my appliance. And how they can determine it is ok to send things for review and ask the customer to wait for the review to be completed when they have not been able to make a necessity like a refrigerator work for ONE WHOLE MONTH.

We had bought a home warranty package with them (premium). We never get same day response, it takes several days to get s response from contractors. We recently had a problem with our sink. When we called them they said they would send a person out right away. It took two weeks. The contractor didn't complete the job, then came back again to cut a huge hole in the wall and cut out pipes just to say it would cost 3,000 dollars to finish. He said he would be back once we received approval from the Home Warranty company and the home warranty company is refusing to give approval so we cannot fix our bathroom. So we are without a sink.

I have many contracts with this company and trying to get a contractor scheduled is a nightmare. Most cases I get the standard response of, "You are welcome to find your own contractor." They don't listen to you and make assumptions so that for any reason, they can refuse to pay your claim. If you do decide to get your own contractor they leave you guessing on how to process the claims. They tell you 2 weeks after the fact that you didn't do it correctly and they won't pay the claim. If you do get a contractor scheduled, half the time they refuse to work with them. The customer service department refuses to pay and refuses to let you speak with managers.

I bought the Platinum Coverage the highest one they sell. But came to know only later even basic things are not covered. When I signed up I was told everything is covered. I was specifically told that garage, plumbing and appliances all are covered. The 2 claims I submitted were rejected saying it was not covered. These are basic things like in one bathroom shower cold water was not coming. There 2 specific plumbing coverage listed in platinum care. In fact Platinum care checks all the boxes and making you think everything covered. It is when I tried to cancel the policy, I was told I will not be getting any money back because there is penalty for cancellation and there are some complex things they calculate, so I might end up paying them to cancel the policy. Wow wouldn't that be fun.
Make sure you read the fine print and things you might expect are covered plus make sure the cancellation penalty and anything other fishy stuff they have in the contract, otherwise it is the money you throw in the trash. In my experience I have seen only companies which want to screw customers would have a cancellation fee while they can't even provide a service which they promise.

Major issues: false advertising, dishonest salespeople, counter-productive customer service, failure to provide coverage for promised items, ineffective communication with customers or service providers, hidden costs for cancellation. My wife and I called Select Home Warranty while on a road trip to discuss covering our rental property. During the course of the very long phone call we asked several specific questions about the coverage. One of the questions we asked was about HVAC/air conditioning units, at which time the salesman assured us that should we have any issues that required replacement the unit would be replaced, hassle-free, with a simple phone call and a $100 visit fee.
About 1.5 months later, our tenants called complaining that the air conditioner was not working. We called Select Home Warranty who sent a technician the next day. After paying $45 for the diagnosis, we could not reach the service company until we called the technician’s personal number who said they could not contact Select Home Warranty. We finally paid an additional $280 out of pocket to send a self-procured technician to temporarily fix the AC. Our tenants went 3 days without AC in blistering Arkansas summer heat.
A week after the initial call, Select Home Warranty finally asked for photos, the serial number, and documentation for annual servicing, all of which we sent them. The next day they called to deny the claim for lack of documentation, which we corrected by telling them we had sent it the previous day. Finally, we were informed the claim was denied because Freon leaks were not covered in the policy. I complained, called, emailed, and elevated to one of their managers who eventually made an exception to provide us $800 ($300 more than the $500 the customer service representative said they could provide), which falls way short of the $3900 we had to pay to fix the unit.
Now, we are trying to cancel our original 5-year contract, and Select Home Warranty is saying they’re going to prorate their refund, remove all savings we accepted as a part of a promotion, deduct the $800 from the one claim we filed, AND charge a $75 cancellation fee. They promised an email which I have not yet received 3 days later, and after the other horrible experience I have had with them I am dreading the rest of this cancellation process. Simply put: Select Home Warranty does not provide a warranty service. They will simply take all of your money and provide no service advertised or promised. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

We have 3 children whom need to bathe for school as well as my husband and myself. And now we are told we need to wait until at least Monday? WTH? What is the point of paying for the home warranty?

Initially, I was impressed with the prompt responses from the representatives. My experience with enrolling with Select Home Warranty was very easy and pleasant. There are different plans to cater to families that are cost efficient. Bruce was very helpful in choosing the right plan for my home. He was very thorough. I am now less worried and have a peace of mind, just case those unwanted and unexpected breakdowns occur in my home.

I was looking for another home warranty and found that Select was more affordable and also had free limited roof coverage. I looked online at reviews which all seemed good so I decided to purchase. The only con was how many sales reps reached out to me via phone and email to try to get me to sign up. It almost felt like I was being harassed to sign up. I called one of the sales Reps back and he was very friendly and quick to sign me up. He even worked with my budget. I did ask him to take me off of their call list though because I was sick of being contacted. I haven’t used the service yet but it’s nice to know we are covered if something does go wrong.

I have used other home warranty company before I bought Select Home. I really like the coverage and the rep on the phone was very helpful in answering my questions, especially they tried to address my concerns as being a new customer. I am looking forward to working with the company and try out their services. I purchased a 5 year plan and I hope to have a positive working relationship with Select Home Warranty.

Started to look into other home warranty options after our premiums on an existing home warranty began to increase year by year. Needed a better/more cost effective solution. Jonathan ** was a great resource in setting up my select home warranty. Did a great job of explaining all options and getting me the best coverage for my needs. Would recommend him others looking into home warranty coverage. Have not yet made a claim so hopefully their claims process goes as smoothly as their purchase process.

I have had their policy for about two years. Then when I filed a claim it was denied saying toilet bowl replacement is not covered when it is clearly included in the policy. Don't buy their policy. It is a scam operation. They will look for any excuse to deny your claim or offer $90 settlement. I am also going to report them to Texas Real Estate Commission.

I have been looking for a home warranty that covered our well. My husband is off a lot and I have been worrying about the fact somethings around here I would be worried about getting them fix if something needed repair while he was gone. With the wonderful back up I get from having warranty coverage I know I will have some support if something goes down while he is gone. This coverage offers me a lot of peace of mind.

Company sales rep was motivated and knowledgeable. He spoke a little fast but answered any questions I had in depth when asked. I will see if it is worth the price as time goes on. They have the better reviews and pricing of all similar companies in the area. I have just purchased a 3 year plan with a free 6 months added coverage, this promotion also covers my roof for the term of this coverage at no additional cost.

This Home warranty is the worse warranty company ever I found it. I made couple claims and both claims are denied. They sucks people money and do not provide the good service. I never saw tech come out and inspect the damage but they deny sitting at their office stating that your claim is denied because it does not fall under coverage. So never ever buy this home warranty. People be careful before buying this warranty.

Very dissatisfied with Select Home Warranty experience. Denied the claim saying water leak was in garage and this not a part of the house. I have covered garage attached to the house with tile ceilings. Placed 3 claims and they denied 2 claims since I join. Customer service very rude when called to place a claim. Called this Monday 2/18/19 regarding the claim, as I received email my claim was not covered. Cancel the warranty this Monday 2/18/19 and I was told I will receive an email regarding cancellation within 1-2 days. Did not receive any email as of today 2/21/19.
Called again this afternoon 2/21/19 and was told warranty is not cancelled. Representative was not sure why. I was told he will cancel it and should receive email about it in 1-2 days. I will never going Select Home Warranty again. Not only because they denied claim but because of poor customer service. I have used home warranty companies before and this was the worse experience.

The home warranty industry is generally bad, but Select Home Warranty is one of the worst that I have dealt with (and I've had warranties with several). I purchased a home warranty from this company in May of 2018 when I purchased my house. Over the past few days, while I was out of town on business, the blower motor in my furnace failed and my house's inside temperature was 55 degrees and falling by the time my house-sitter reported it to me. I called an HVAC company to diagnose and repair the furnace and called Select to file a claim.
The blower motor cost $800 and the service call cost $100. Select Home Warranty is paying $150 because I cannot produce three years worth of service records on a furnace that I have owned for less than a year. When I asked how this could possibly be a fair resolution to my claim they stated that the warranty clearly states that I was required to produce pictures of the unit (which I did) and three years of service records - naturally this was never called to my attention and I did not read every bit of fine print in the contract, nor would most people in my position, which these mercenary companies count on. Avoid Select Home Warranty.

Chase was very professional and helped immensely with understanding your company and the benefits of enrolling. Thanks Chase, I'm in and look forward to a great relationship. I just hope that all you said about this company is true and binding. I researched all the warranty companies and yours was rated second to AHS but I had heard that AHS was very selective in how they serviced the warranty and what they would cover and not cover. I am not a rich man and need to have this great coverage at an awesome price which you quoted. Thanks again for offering me the discounts and ensuring I would be pleased with your company.

This was not disclosed to me. At this time, even though I am not looking for a refund, because I want the coverage, I was told I could get a refund after 30 days, nothing more. This information below should have been released to me. "After 30 days, the customer may receive a pro-rated refund for the non-discounted annual plan cost. The customer will be charged a $75 cancellation fee, plus any service expenses incurred by Select Home Warranty."

Sam ** was great. No pushy sales -- just very knowledgeable and easy going! The representative gave me his phone number and time to think about the different offers and told me to call back when I was ready. Do not call other companies. Their prices are higher and they are very pushy. Moreover, Select Home Warranty is veteran-friendly with a great reputation all over the Internet. Both Sam and Select Home Warranty get 5-stars!

We feel ripped off. We filed a claim that wasn't diagnosed correctly by the service technician and received no communication that our claim was denied. We have been attempting to contact the service company and SHW by phone and online for 2 months. We finally got customer service on the phone today and they told us that we would need to hire our own technician to come out and make the repair. We cancelled our policy. Not worth the hassle or the run around.

Select Home Warranty acted on this request for service and repairs immediately sending out to us a very competent contractor. Kingdom Electric, the Contractor sent out, was prompt and gave excellent service including giving us priority in the schedule in case we had a fire hazard. We are very pleased with all those involved. Electrical problems can be a fire hazard and having a Warranty Company that sends out quality contractors that provide a quick response, makes Select Home Warranty Services well worth having.

After committing to a five year term, one of the exclusions in the contract made me nervous so I called to cancel. The customer service retention rep Ron helped fix the issue and I hope to have 5 years with no issues. Definitely when you order the service make sure you voice your concerns so that you give the company a chance to earn your business. Definitely would recommend anyone look into this for warranty coverage.

They provided superior coverage in comparison to competitors. Coverage of more areas of my home for a lower overall cost on my behalf. Select also provided coverage of my septic and sprinkler systems. I would definitely recommend Select to a friend. Only advice I would offer is that not every customer wants phone calls and text messages on a product 60 seconds after looking it up. Overall very good product. Will keep Select for many years to come.

This company has by far the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I've filed two separate claims with them and I'm yet to have a contractor to my house to make repairs. I paid for my contract in advance (huge mistake) and they simply don't honor their side of the bargain. For our first claim we were assigned 3 or 4 contractors after making over 10 calls only to have them tell me after I called to cancel my contract that our claim wasn't covered. Wouldn't that have been nice to know on the first call.
Now I have claim that is (supposedly) covered and it's been 4 days and still no contractor. I have also received no follow up from SHW to make sure they were delivering on their promises. I can't stress enough how much of a scam they appear to be. They take your money and seem to make it their job not to deliver on the service you paid for. They seem to make 10 times the effort to prevent you from canceling your contract than they do to get a contractor to your house. Total ripoff.

What sold me for purchasing this warranty was the exceptional help I received from Zachary. Zachary was very clear in explaining the coverages, and how their company offered water sprinkler system coverages as an add on as others do not offer. This was a huge sell for me. Also; the service calls would be $45 less than other companies. He worked with me as I explained to him I just retired and I am on a fixed income. I hope I will not need to use the insurance, but it gives me peace of mind to know I have it in case I ever need it. Thank you, Zachary.
