    My rep emailed me and asked that I give him a call to go over some of the details of my plan renewal. Jonathan was helpful and professional and let me know what my renewal options were. If I had anything to say, it is that I was curious that I was never contacted by Select to let me know my 2018 plan was expiring and to go over renewal options with me at that time. I had to reach out to you instead of you reaching out to me.

    14 days for $50! That's how long it took to finally get an answer on my broken down dishwasher. Then, after 14 days, you tell me you can give me $125 when it already cost me $75 just to get it looked at and deemed un-repairable. So, this home warranty is paying me $50 for a broken dishwasher that can't be replaced for under $400??? How is that even remotely the right way to do things? You're ripping me off and don't care one bit! I will tell everyone I can to stay far away from your company. Instead of home warranty service, you should call yourselves rip-off warranty service.

    Recent washer repair - Initial contact and appointment scheduling took a little longer than expected; however, once that was resolved we had absolutely no problems. The tech was knowledgeable and was able to resolve the issue. Everything seems to be working. He completed the service yesterday afternoon and I'm not sure if I can confidently say the problem is totally resolved. I can say - the one load of laundry I washed has been completed and we have no problem today thanks to the service tech. Thanks!

    This is how my washing machine claim goes like this: Call Select, they did not provide email verification that claim was made. Next day, call again and they process the claim. The technician comes out $45 per call and determines the machine is not getting any electricity from the outlet. Closes his toolbox and says I need an electrician to repair the outlet. Place another claim for the electrician to come out only to find there is 120V coming from the outlet and pays him another $45. Next, call back Select who says they have received the diagnostic report from washing machine tech.

    Finally, after a week of going back and forth of Select telling me, they have made calls and messages. I call the technician who states they have no messages from Select. I advised them that the out is working fine. So the washing machine tech comes back out and finds that the control panel is not working. He didn't need power to make this determination but was too lazy to due diligence when he first came out.

    Please do competitive shopping when selecting a plan. It is my fault for not catching this earlier but the appliance repair or replacement costs caps at $500. What appliance worth anything cannot be replaced for $500 per year. They said you can use multiple years cost for $1,500 on current plan, but that reduces future funds available to repair or replace. I see others who offer up to $3,000 to replace appliances if that is what it costs for a replacement. Select only pays for white. If you have a light blue laundry room and blue washer and dryer you are screwed. I will never recommend this company to anyone. You don't have to say it, I should have done my due diligence when reviewing the contract.

    I had a home warranty since the purchase of my home. Unfortunately, I was not pleased and cancelled at the end of my contract. Due diligence was done seeking an alternate home warranty. I received a call from Abraham, listened intently and informed him I wanted to do more research on his company. During my research I had someone else from Select call me, and I became annoyed because I informed Abraham once I did my research "I" would call him back. During my research I called Select to ask a question, and the salesperson did not have an answer, yet seemed more concerned about getting the business, and not listening to the customer. If he had, he would have found out the answer to my question.

    Several days later I reached out to Abraham, requesting a call from him during a certain timeframe. When I heard from Abraham I explained my experiences I had with his organization. The outcome of my experience with Abraham, I agreed to give Select a try, and considering an extended warranty. He was very professional, and I was able to articulate the value of your organization in my mind, due to the due diligence I had done with several home warranty companies. My mind was made up prior to talking with Abraham to go with another company. Kudos to Abraham. Now that I'm a customer, I'm hopeful my expectations will be met in the event I have a claim. Retention is key. The questions are geared for the "sign on" experience.

    Great sales team that sell you the whole package. You have to wait 30 days to use and don't you know their 100% refund guarantee is only during those 30 days when you can't put a claim in. OK... so you get over that and put two claims in on day 40. After 10 days, I'm called and told BOTH claims cannot be serviced by them as they can't find anyone in my area to come and do the repairs. I am, however, given the option to find my own person, then if the cost is over $100, go back to them for 'approval' to use that person and then, with any luck, that person that YOU found can repair your appliances after already visiting our home to analyze the cost and repair. I called on day 50 to get a refund and was talked into 'trying it again' and guess what? After 10 days they couldn't deliver a repair person, once again.

    So now, on day 70 I called again for a refund and after finally convincing the person on the other line that I was NOT going to try them for a third time like he suggested, he succumbed to putting in for a refund. However, I lose the $75 cancellation fee and it is pro-rated on how long I've been in the policy. So, don't agree to trying this lousy service again because that just keeps money in THEIR pocket. TERRIBLE COMPANY TO DEAL WITH. EACH PERSON YOU SPEAK WITH IS CONDESCENDING even when they are calling you Ms. ** and saying "Have a nice day". What a joke and waste of time and money.

    When I signed up for Select Home Warranty I was told I can’t make a claim until I’ve paid the first month and 30 days have passed, which doesn’t make sense because what am I paying for? I have to pay $36 the first month for the privilege of being able to make a claim in the next month? Nonetheless, when the representative said that having the policy meant I would pay $36/month and only $60 for a repair call no matter how long or extensive the repair, it would be covered, I signed up.

    In my 2nd month of having the warranty, I submitted an online claim about my washer stopping with an OE, UE and FE error codes displaying. Select Home called me the next day and told me which technician to contact for the repair. They also told me the repair call will be $75. I was annoyed that the representative had told me $60 when I signed up but now I have to pay $75? The rep said the amount is listed on the policy. Why I was told $60 is beyond me.

    Unfortunately, I needed my washer fixed and since I was told the total cost is $75 for the entire repair, I called the tech and scheduled the repair for the next day. The tech gave me a 5 hour window for when he could come. I made sure to be home the entire time. When he came he said I needed a new part and he has to call Select to get it approved.

    The next day the tech gave me the ticket number to follow up with Select Home. I called and Select Home told me the tech was supposed to call them. I told the rep that I have the ticket number to get the approval started for the part. The next day I had not heard back so I called Select Home and the rep said the part was approved, but I had to pay installation of $118.13! I told the rep that I was told the whole repair would be $75!! The rep said, the policy says installation is not included. Begrudgingly, I accepted and called the tech. No response. Next day I texted the tech. No response. A few days later I texted again, no response. Now I had a ton of laundry piled up and no proper working washer.

    Finally the tech responded to a text and gave another 5 hour window. He came within the window, replaced the part and charged $118.13. After he left, I put a load in the wash. I still had the error codes! I texted the tech. He didn’t respond. I called and he said someone would come in the next three days then he disappeared. I called, left a message, texted. No response. So I paid $36 for Jan, $36 for Feb, $75 for the repair call and $118.13 and still a washer with problems!!

    I called Select Home to get my money back. They said they can only refund $36 for Feb. The money for Jan they will not refund although it paid for nothing (meaning I couldn’t even make a claim that month). Select Home said their liability ends once I paid the tech. They can send the tech back but why would I want an unresponsive tech who didn’t even fix the problem but took the money?! They said they can send another tech but I would have to pay that new tech. Really?! It’s absolutely unbelievable. I am out $265 and my washer still isn’t working!

He easily explained everything and answered our in-depth questions quickly and accurately. He also helped us understand the necessity to purchase additional coverage for our septic tank. He did all of this plus more without be pushy or seeming hungry to just close the deal. As a retired Lt Colonel with 28+ years of service, I have learned to recognize talent, drive, and dedication to the mission very very quickly and Jeff exhibits all of these qualities. Please tell him Charles and Vicki send our kind regards and a big "thank you" for all his help. In my humble opinion, Jeff is a keeper and a 'must have' on your team.

    We had a home warranty on the house when purchased and quickly learned it's value, but after replacing most of the old systems in the house, let it lapse. One service call from a plumber for a leaky toilet cost more than the warranty for a year, so decided it was time to get a new home warranty. I was happy to get the discount offered and the two extra months of coverage, but was somewhat dismayed by the push to sell me additional years of coverage. Over the coming year of coverage, we will see how the service compares to American Home Shield, our previous warranty service.

    I was searching for a good home warranty to replace one I already had that was not meeting all of my needs. Select Home Warranty not only a perfect package for me, but the cost was less then I was paying with the other warranty company, they answered all of my questions, and have been very easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good home warranty program. They have many different options, at affordable prices, excellent reviews and are very responsive. I have not had to actually use their services yet, but I feel like it will go smoothly if and when that time comes. Thank you Select Home for helping me and the excellent service you have provided for me and my home. Being a first time home owner, this was very important issue for me!

    On 1/16/19 I called the claims department to report that my kitchen floor was flooding every time I used my washer. They emailed me with Van Franey Plumbing as a plumber and told me to allow 12 hours for the plumber to contact me. He never did. I found out they are out of Fort Myers and Cape Coral and I'm in Port Charlotte. On 1/17/19 they emailed me Ryan's Plumbing LLC. I waited 12 hours per the email and contacted Ryan's Plumbing, they said they were located in Sarasota and do not to Port Charlotte. I called Select again on 1/18/19 to let them know Ryan's Plumbing LLC does come down to Port Charlotte. They emailed me again on 1/21/19 with Warrem Plumbing. On 1/22/19, Select emailed me again with Warrem Plumbing as the plumber. I called Select and told them Warrem Plumbing never contacted me. Select called me back and told me Warrem was booked up and wouldn't be able to take me as a customer.

    On 1/25/19 Select emailed me and gave me Ryan's Plumbing LLC again. I called Select and told them they already gave me Ryan's and reminded them that they don't come down this far. Mind you that each time I called the recording stated they were experiencing higher than normal call volume so I had to request a callback. Select suggested I get my own plumber and then call when they determine the problem so they could approve the work. So I called Titanz Plumbing. They scheduled me for 1/28/19. They came out and cleaned all the lines but the floor still flooded in the kitchen. They determined there was a break in the line under the slab in the kitchen.

    We called Select and they talked to the technician. By this time, the problem also progressed to the kitchen sink flooding the kitchen floor and since I had to use the laundromat in town to do my laundry, I told them to go ahead with the repair. They decided it would be most cost effective to just bypass the break and run a replacement line to from the kitchen and laundry room to the sewer line in front of the house.

    Bottom line. Customer service at Select is not very effective. Not to mention, they have a clause in the policy below the line breaks section that caused my claim to be denied. (6.3.1. Plumbing System. This Agreement covers the following plumbing system components: (i) line leaks in water, drain, waste or vent lines not caused by damage resulting from freezing or from roots; (ii) line breaks in water, drain, waste or vent lines not caused by damage resulting from freezing or from roots; (iii) toilet bowls; (iv) toilet tanks; (v) toilet flushing mechanisms; (vi) angle stops; (vii) risers; Excluded: (i) water softeners; (ii) slab leaks; (iii) polybutylene pipes. Funny they should offer this policy in Florida, since most of the sewer lines are under the slab.

    I told them the policy is deceptive since you don't get the policy to read until you pay for it. You only get the cover page that says "Plan selected: Platinum Care. This Select Home Warranty coverage plan will protect the following home systems and appliances: refrigerator, plumbing system, plumbing stoppage, microwave oven (built in), heating system, water heater, stove/oven, clothes washer, clothes dryer, A/C, cooling, garbage disposal, garage door opener, electrical system, ductwork, dishwasher, cooktop. Ceiling fan. Pretty slick, huh? Read your policies well my friends. I didn't even notice it didn't cover slab leaks because it was several spaces below the line break section. Shame on me. Luckily I had enough money in my account to cover this $4500 cost but most people don't. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy.

    Overall my expirence with SHW has not been good. Claims are submitted, and if they are denied you are not informed until you call back to check on the status. Depending on what is described to a customer service agent, they may decide it sounds like the issue with the appliance isn't covered so they won't send anyone out. If I'm already paying for the service call, I should at least be able to have someone come out to verify that the issue isn't covered and give me a quote. Customer service is basically non-existent. I've been bounced around several times to different agents until I was finally transferred to a manager after 2hrs. I've also been given the auto call back when an agent is free, only to never be called back. I've had other home warranty companies with past homes, and never had an issue with them. I can not recommend Select and will not use them in the future.

They just plain lied. I discovered they record their conversations and asked them to listen. I knew the conversation would vindicate me because I had taken copious notes.

    I informed the salesperson that I was switching to Select Home Warranty from another company, with no lapse in coverage. According to the contract, the waiting period is to be expedited. However, that is not the case for monthly payers, although that is not specified anywhere in the contract and was not explained by the salesperson Sam. I had the misfortune of having the motor on my air blower for the heater go out recently. Select Home Warranty allowed me to submit a claim and then informed me that the waiting period was not waived and that I was still within the first 30 days from the policy effective date and they would not pay for replacing the motor. It took several days to get a supervisor to return my call. At which time, I was also informed that I would not be able to submit the same claim again after the 30 period was over, because now the issue would be considered a preexisting condition.

    Updated on 02/06/2019: After multiple phone calls and emails even having to send a photograph of my heating system and maintenance reports which I do not have because I had just moved into this property in August of 2018 the company is only reimbursing a $150 of a $500 repair bill charge. So why even purchase a home warranty plan from them, only look for excuses not to cover the repair bill.

    Original Review: This company doesn't even deserve 1 star. They provided the worst customer service I have experienced in my entire life. At the end of the day I had to contact a company to come and diagnose the heating problem (which cost more) because 'Dan's Air' the company that Select Home Warranty scheduled did not even return my call after leaving several messages over a ten hour period. Even the Select reps said "Dan's Air' had a history of not being very responsive". But yet this is your contracted vendor that has a poor reputation obviously which is okay w/ Select Home Warranty- right. I guess 'Dan's Air' and Select Home Warranty believe that no heat in the middle of winter w/ Temps in the 30's did not require at a minimum, a call back & definitely they didn't plan on coming to my home to determine what was the problem.

    Select could not even provide an alternative vendor even though I requested one- guess Dan's Air is the only heating A/C vendor they contract with. Buyer beware. Find another home warranty company who will provide quality service. Select home warranty is on the opposite end of that spectrum. FYI: Kudos to One Hour heating & cooling & Brian the technician. They understand what excellent customer really means. On a Saturday evening, within 1.5 hrs they responded, came to my home, diagnosed & fixed the problem!

    I called Select Home Warranty about a malfunctioning Hot Water Heater. This was the week before New Years. They told me because of the holidays service would be a little behind, which I understood. They gave my ticket to one of their "vendors." He never called. I called Select Home Warranty about this and they told me to call the vendor. When I called he had no record of my ticket. I then called Select Home Warranty back who then got my ticket to the vendor. The Vendor promised service on Jan. 2nd. Never called and never showed up.

    I then got my own company who determined the water heater needed to be replaced. He spent 10 minutes on the phone with Select Home Warranty explaining the reason why the tank (it was 7 years old) had to be replaced. The next day, after he left and had disposed of the unit they informed that I had to take "pictures" of the old unit. After speaking to 3 different reps on three different occasions the story changed. The problem now was that since hot water tanks, according to them, last "15 to 20 years" it should not have been replaced by my technician and hence they would not reimburse me for any part of my expenses. This company is a scam. Stay away from them.

    Updated on 08/02/2019: On January 4, 2019, our hot water heater's heating element stopped working and no replacement could be located so the entire hot water heater had to be replaced. When I call for the status of my claim (I have called 25 times and emailed 30 times since I can't get anyone to give me an answer), they switch me to a manager and then drop my call. They have not paid anything on my claim to date. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

    Original Review: According to our plumber, our hot water heater's temperature gauge malfunctioned so it quit heating the water in the tank. Select Home Warranty denied our claim, saying the hot water heater was leaking so they wouldn't cover the hot water heater. It was not leaking so there was no reason to deny the claim. They denied the claim before they even got the analysis from our plumber, which they said they needed before reviewing the claim.

    I purchased a warranty with this company (SHW). After several communications with SHW, I received my Policy Holder Agreement 4 times (3 by email and 1 by mail) with an end date of 12/9/2019. SHW went in at some point after they sent me the agreement and changed my end date to 11/8/2018 without letting me know of course. Now, SHW is calling me to renew. I told them I didn't need to renew because my contract stated I was still covered. I would understand if they made an error and admitted. However, they rudely talked to me as if I changed the date on the contract. Additionally, I have had occasions were the contractors they used to fix electrical issues in my home, took my deductible and the money SHW paid out but never completed the job.

    The contractor stated several things were wrong, fixed them all which still didn't fix the issue. They told me they needed to order a part then never showed up to replace the part and never answered the phone. SHW told me they could not do anything and I need to keep calling the contractor. After weeks of back and forth and requesting to cancel and get a refund, SHW finally found a new contractor, in which they wanted me to pay the deductible again. This is by far the worst company to deal with for claims, policies and any other issues you may find. I should have canceled them when I started to have the first set of issues. Please pay a little more and deal with a better warranty company.

    I called in with my first claim request and customer service was good, but after 24 hours I still have not been contacted by a service rep to fix my maintenance problem. I am going to call again to find out if service is this slow all the time. I would hope your service reps would at least email you a contact within 24 hours to set up an appointment to meet and fix the problem. Evidently there is a loophole in the fine print that there is a thirty day waiting period until they will try to fix anything for you. I can't wait 30 days for a broken furnace.

    Bought my contract March of 2018 and had an effective date "to be determined" note attached to contract so I could turn on the service at a later date. I called during the intervening months to check on my contract and always received courteous service. I had to call a couple of times to get contract revised with new owner's name and put a start date on it and to have it emailed to me but it was eventually done correctly allowing me to get to closing on time. Always had friendly service.

    I talked with Adam and renewed my policy today for 3 1/2 years. Adam was kind and patient working with me and explaining how I could get a bigger discount by renewing for 3 1/2 years. He said he would send me the contract through e-mail. I rec'd the cover page for the contract, but didn't receive a contract like I did the last time. I'll be waiting to get the full contract on the e-mail Thursday or Friday. When do I get the free month?

    Though I thought the rep I spoke to was rather pushy, he did know his product and was friendly. I’ve been happy with Select up to now, so we will see how the next 15 months goes. You denied my last claim for my dishwasher so I’m hoping that doesn’t happen again. The rep did give me 2 free months but I got the impression everyone gets that. It was nice nonetheless. Thank very much!

    Issues again trying to get resolution like normal! My ticket was issued three times to two different companies and I still had to contact the receiving vendor because SHW had the wrong email address on file so I had to do all the leg work like normal. I have never had an easy ticket with SHW and come to find out 9 am EST is too early for a tickets to be authorized since they told me they don't verify tickets until 10:30 am. That is ridiculous.

    I researched the best home warranties online and was comparing the #1 (American Home Shield) & #2 (Select Home Warranty) companies listed. Abraham ** from Select Home Warranty called me after I entered my information online to get a quote. Although I was interested in a one year quote he provided me with an excellent deal on a 3 year quote. I have owned my home for 2.5 years and know I will be here for another 3+ so I couldn't resist an incredible deal. I have not had a service call yet, but with all of the positive reviews I am sure I will be satisfied if needed.

    Just signed up and while looking through the fine print I noticed that it does not cover the ice maker on your refrigerator. Also seems to not cover the sump pump in your home. I'm going to continue to read and see what else isn't covered. It also would be nice to split the large multi year plan over the course of a few months instead of all at once or sixty days. Just saw that the sewage ejector pump is not covered. I hope that I have a good experience with this company and it does not turn into something that I regret. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    I was in need of a home warranty and was contacted by Sam ** and he was awesome with helping me. He happily told me of veterans discounts and special offers for vets. He made the process a very smooth one. Now all I have to do is wait and see if when I need them they are there for me. I chose them because reviews for other companies were very bad. I am hoping that when if I ever need my warranty that I will get the coverage that I was promised.
