I highly recommend Select Home Warranty. They sent a contractor to repair the stove for me. The contractor was very professional and knew what he was doing. He found the issue and ordered the replacement part for me. Once he had the part he came back to repair the stove. I highly recommend Select Home Warranty. They clearly know what they are doing.

Filed my first two claims after being enrolled with them for four months. They promptly assigned service providers. One electrical and one for my fridge. After 2 days the electrical contractor (Air Solutions) contacted me and set up appointment between 2-4 on Friday. I left work early and waited. They never showed up. Kept calling them but no answer. Finally called select and they assigned another company (Taylor Electrical Services). Electrician showed up on Monday. Took $45 before start as this is their policy. Diagnosed couple of issues. I had a missing ground in bedroom and not a separate gfci in garage. Said fixing grounding issue is time consuming. Called select and select refused to cover the cost! Electrician told me to give him another $40 and he install a gfci in garage! But grounding issue is difficult. This guy didn't even open at least one of the plugs to see may be the ground wire had come loose. Such a crook.
And oh, regarding this the fridge, the appliance company never called. After a week, select told me that they are still trying to find a contractor. Finally the Select rep said that I should find one myself and have them come out and diagnose the problem and to call them and then they decide if they cover it! Are you kidding me! So if they end up not covering it, I am stuck with trip fee of this other contractor! 17 days later and no one fixing my fridge, I called to cancel. They said I will get an email in 24 hours of how much I get back. 4 days later and no emails. These people are bad. You are much better off getting your own repairmen.

I have submitted numerous claims for covered items. They have denied each one for whatever reason they see fit at the time. My garage door opener was denied due to the fact that it still worked, not correctly mind you - but it worked. My enclosed eco flush toilet tank started leaking. That was denied as per Select the leaks didn't happen due to normal wear and tear??? Okay, I guess it was the underpants gnomes... seriously? This was just the start...

When I received my policy the sales rep Richard, he put the policy in someone else's name. I had to call him twice to correct the issue. Richard also told me that they will take the monies out on the 11th of each month but I told him that I get paid on the 22nd. Richard stated that he will take it out on the 22nd. I made a claim on a refrigerator the following month. The claims dept told me that being that billing didn't receive payment on the 11th then it lapse and they couldn't honor the claim. I told them Richard said it was ok to take it out on the 22nd but they still wouldn't honor the agreement. I told them I would submit a claim for a washer and I had to pay a 45 deductible. I then get an email from claims dept telling me that they will only pay 50 of the repair cost. 50.00 towards a repair cost when I had to pay out a 45.00 deductible, does that make sense? That means I'm going to have to repair it myself! RIPOFF COMPANY.

This company, maybe like any other home warranty companies, has a very detailed contract covering almost everything in appearance. But when you read it there are all kinds of clauses and exclusions that they refer to them to deny your claims. Even if something is not excluded, they'd say you didn't maintain the appliance or the unit properly. (You have to show 3 years of maintenance record!) Once you show previous repairs and maintenance records, they'll find something else to say: this unit had previous repairs and works done on it, it is not covered! In any case, they'll make sure to find something to get away with the repair. You have already paid their contractor to come out, now you have to bring and pay somebody else to fix your problem.
I believe buying a home warranty is a mistake. They are here to make money not to pay out. They pressure you on the phone or emails to buy and pay right away, saying "if you buy today we'll give you lower service fee, or throw in a free month". They don't even let you see the contract until you give in. Once you pay, you see the contract and read the fine prints, you realize you made a mistake! Don't fall into this company's or any other home warranty companies' trap. Save your money for your repairs. These companies know what they are doing and how they are doing. Everything is very carefully researched and studied by them. They are smart but try to be smarter than them!

I've waited a good six months to write this review because I wanted it to be even-tempered and without emotion. All I can say without hyperbole is beware. I bought a five year plan after having a very impressive sales call with one of their agents. They never fixed anything and never paid for anything and their customer service was condescending. They always found a clause which was in direct contradiction to what their sales rep had stated with clarity. I then tried another major home warranty company and not only did they come out and fix my HVAC within a month of me signing up, they paid for the whole thing and with a smile, too. What a contrast. So not all home warranty companies are alike. If anyone wants to discuss my experiences in detail with Select Home Warranty, I'll be very happy to correspond with, or even speak with you.
While I'm no longer "angry," I was at one point seething and I'll do whatever it takes so long as I live to warn potential buyers. I'm a believer in consumers sticking together. And if you do choose to go with this company, you may wind up remember this review after it's too late. It's not the end of the world, but why bother? It's not just the money, it's the frustration and the hours spent with their customer service. So very painful.

The company Retention dept. supervisor is speak most of the time and doesn't listen to you. I called to cancel my plan as it says on the contract no cancellation fee and no penalty. I paid $975 for 3 years and I had this service for 18 months. I did not make any claim in last 18 months. They want to charge me prorated which is understandable. With that prorated amount should be 975/36 month = 27.08 per months and I used the service for 18 months so $487.44 should be prorated charge. But, what they are telling me now that their monthly average charge is $45 per month which doesn't say anywhere in the service plan. They just said $975 for 3 yrs. I don't know where they are coming with $45.
I argued with the manager for almost 20 mins. on this. "Your company can said $100 per month" that doesn't mean that I have to pay that. You guys charged me $945 for 3 years and you did not mention anywhere in the plan that discount was given or monthly plan is $x amount of money. Be aware... they can tell you something on the agreement plan and something offline. It's my early CHRISTMAS GIFT TO SELECT HOME WARRANTY FOR $945. HOPE THEY CAN ENJOY THIS GIFT as they have refused to give me the refund even the contract says it in very simple language. I wouldn't recommend this company to anybody. There are better home warranty companies outside than SELECT Home Warranty. Wish I could get my prorated money back... not with calculation of $45 per month. Think 100 times before getting a warranty with this company.

When we contacted them with an electrical problem, they demanded our home inspection to show that we had an adequate electric box, which was sent. Then they demanded proof the breaker box had been replaced, so we took a picture and sent it. He said that wasn't good enough, we needed the receipt, which the former owner had, not us. Finally got a supervisor on the phone who said they would send somebody out. They send Honey Do for water and electrical. The service said "Your outlet doesn't work", that's why we called. They said a drip through the floor would require the shower being taken apart (fixed with liquid nails and caulk), and for the water they looked at the meter and said "must be the meter." They did no testing.
The next day we had to call and pay a different plumber to fix both. Three weeks later, the outlet has not been replaced after we paid them 170.00. Called the warranty company every single day and every day "We'll get back to you" and they never did. Read the fine print as well. They have very low limits of what they will cover, not that I would imagine they would actually cover anything. We are left high and dry in our new home should something happen and left to pay out of pocket to get the wiring done. I would go with a warranty company who insures different parts of the house.

I must have selected the WORST home warranty company in choosing Select Home Warranty. I've had to contact them numerous times to get results. They either do not respond to my questions, are rude and unprofessional or don't cover my claims. I am EXTREMELY dissatisfied with this company. I would not recommend them to anyone. Because of my experience with them, I don't know if I will ever purchase another home warranty with any company. My hot water heater tank burst and they told me they don't cover "leaks" without even scheduling a contractor to come check the problem. Obviously, if anything happens to a hot water heater, it will leak because there is water in the heater! When I demanded that they schedule a contractor, they referred me to a plumber more than 30 miles away which does not "come anywhere near the City." This is the second time I have had to find my own contractor.
When I had a problem with my furnace, they did not cover the "valve" which cost over $400 to replace. I have spent more money out-of-pocket than the cost of the so-called warranty. When they do cover something, you have to jump through hoops. You first have to contact them while the contractor is at your home, then you have to pay for the service upfront, then send them a copy of the receipt and a picture of whatever is causing the problem. If they decide they will reimburse you anything at all, it is a small portion of the cost of the repair. Then you have to stay on them to receive your reimbursement.
I waited two months to be reimbursed and only received reimbursement after I threatened to file a complaint against them. THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST HOME WARRANTY COMPANY. I cannot imagine that other companies are like this. STAY FAR AWAY FROM SELECT HOME WARRANTY COMPANY!!! They are in the business of taking your money and not providing service.

Three days later I had to call back and spoke to a manager, he said sorry and cancelled my account. 3 weeks later I received a refund for cancelling my account for $269. The company did nothing for me. When I needed their help they failed on all levels. I ended up paying this company $430 after the refund to be without a dishwasher for almost a month and had to pay for a new dishwasher without any help from Select Home Warranty. Terrible customer service, terrible follow up and a terrible policy. Don't use this company!

I purchased my home a few weeks ago. The seller is paying the premium the first year so all policy info went to them. I had lukewarm water so investigated the water heater. I took off the cover to the temp gauge and the insulation was on fire. Looked like it was touching bare wires. I emailed a claim to Select per their web page. No one got back to me until the next day. The customer service rep asked for more info, which I gave her. She said I would hear back within 24 hours. I did not hear back so I called on day 4 after the problem. I spoke with a very nice man who told me that it hasn't been 30 days since my policy took effect so policy is not active yet. I had no idea this was part of their way of doing things, especially since they advertise "first month free". Since I never got the policy, I had no way of knowing.
Now, since I filed a claim, the water heater is considered pre-existing condition and they won't cover it even when the policy is in effect. The very nice customer service rep told me I could submit my receipt for having it fixed and they would consider paying back a portion of it. They have lost my trust and probably my business in the coming years. I'm also notifying my realtor and the title company so they don't recommend this company to any of their clients.

In dealing with Select be sure you are ready to read the fine print on the contract. Also be sure you understand the reimbursement process. In dealing with other warranty companies I would pay the deductible and the company would bill the warranty company for the rest. Not at Select. You have to pay the repair company and then submit the paperwork to Select. After 30 days you are supposed to get your payment. In my experience I thought I was out of the initiation period and was getting more of a reimbursement for the work completed on my garage door. I wasn't even though I had to submit the claim twice because the first company that Select gave me didn't do home warranty work and didn't have an account with Select. So after waiting a month I submitted again. New company and they were great. Garage door fixed.
Reimbursement is still on-going because I haven't received any repayment. The work was completed in December and now it's March. I had to wait for my check to clear and send the copy to Select along with receipt. Then I had to send in a form for the reimbursement, which I did the same day I received it. So I wait 30 days like the contract says and no money. I email and asked where the money was and they didn't have a copy of any of my paperwork which I sent to 2 individuals that had been in email contact throughout the process. So I resubmitted and awaited 30 more dates and no check. I email again and was told that billing sent check and would require 7-10 more days to receive my check. Still no money after 10 days.
Long and short of this review: if you like to do somebody else's job (paperwork that most warranty companies do on their own) then this is your company, and if you like paying upfront for services and waiting for reimbursement forever, then this is your company. Once my time is up I will look elsewhere. I will also be looking into small claims court if my money doesn't show up soon.

Select Home Warranty is the best company I have dealt with ever. I have had warranties in the past with other companies and I have always been disappointed. SHW is just amazing overall. From start to finish the staff are very professional and courteous. They process claims quickly and make sure that the work is done. The service is fantastic. Highly recommended.

I purchased the home warranty in April. I had a problem with my pool pump, they didn't cover it because I was in a grace period. I fixed it myself, they reimbursed me 150.00 bucks 8 months later. Fair enough. The second time I called my toilet was and the technician could not snake out the foreign object. The technician told us we needed a new toilet. At this point, I am ok with this because it should be covered. I call back and they tell me they don't cover camera scopes which they said the technician told them I needed. I found it hard to believe that I needed a camera as I have some experience with plumbing.
I then call the technician back and he said that he never told them that. So on to my next call, the rep says, "Sorry we can't help you that was the diagnosis from the technician." A FLAT OUT LIE!!! I told her she was lying, she transferred me to a supervisor. He told me the same lie until I asked him, "Did the technician that came out to house say I needed a camera?" He said NO, it was in his experience that is what I needed. Lying and dishonest at best might be close to criminal. I canceled on the spot. The amount that will be prorated back to me will be insignificant but I will not have to deal with the circle talk and lies. What a waste of money.

I purchased this warranty with all the additional products. When my sprinkler system wasn't working Select Home Warranty was the first person I called. I filed a claim with the representative on the phone. They said they will have someone come down to my home to inspect the system. It turned out that a small part needed to be replaced. The service was super quick. I could not be happier.

I talked my mom into a home warranty and this was definitely the wrong one. Took them months to reimburse a small amount for a repair. They did not communicate well at all. The "reimbursement form" they sent was ridiculous and had to be notarized. It seemed to be written by uneducated foreigners or something. They didn't make sense or good use of the English language. I kept having to send them the same info over and over again. They didn't even seem to know who we were half the time. Don't waste your money on this.

I've been trying to get a service call for about 5 weeks now. Filed one online and after 2.5 weeks called them. Had an electrical and plumbing problem. Assigned both to a plumbing company who did not do electrical and further informed me that Select owed them money and would not come out. Phoned Select and told them and they assigned the same company to me. Called them again and after almost a day and a half still no word from a service company!

Signed up on-line for quote from this company. Within three days received one e-mail, one text and over ten phone calls. After the third phone call, requested each time to be taken off call list for aggressive tactics and non-interest. Filed a complaint with the BBB and still received four phone calls after that. Contacted "Adam", a sales manager in NJ, who was rude and unsympathetic stating, "Filed a report with the BBB, really?" Since I have some free time, I'll make sure to spread the word to stay away from them.

Found problem and reported to claims amount to repair. Did not hear anything about coming back. Called contractor for status. Said waiting on claims department for approval. Called claims and said processing.
Next day requested pictures and all previous service records. Bought home used. Owner left no records. Because of this will not cover repair costs. If had service records would cover up to $2000. Without only $150. Ask salesman when purchased plan about this line item in contract and my condition of buying house. Said they had it covered. Here it is 6 days later from claim and still no heat. Will only pay $150 on $800 repair. Do not recommend this company at all. Still waiting on my reimbursement.

I ordered Select Home Warranty after going through several companies. The experience with them has been awful. Not only are the contractors unprofessional but I had to have more than one contract assigned to my account because the others failed to show up or even call me back when I called about their services. I recently called and asked to have a contractor fix an issue with my bathroom only to find it wasn't covered, so began searching for a new company that would fix the issue. Found one that would so I asked to be released from my contract with Select only to have them give me $16 back after I paid two years in advance with them taking $150 fee for bogus claims of loss incurred. How are you losing when I just lost a whole year's worth of services.
I would NOT recommend them and will be filing with the BBB. I've never experience BAD customer service and lack of respect for a paying customer. I've been a homeowner for more than 10 years and have always carried warranty insurance with a vendor and Select by far is the WORST!!! Ran far, far away from this company. Starting a PR/Social Media campaign against them now.
