    They will not or did not for me tell me that they will not just pay for approved repairs. You must pay for it yourself and then apply for a refund. This was not made clear to me and given my experience with other home warranties was not expecting it. All others paid the service person directly. Horrible customer service and shady sales.

    I put in a claim for microwave that is broke- denied claim, AC does not work - they do not cover coil repair - denied claim, Fridge- leaking water, line is broke- denied claim, washer machine tub is broke- denied claim they don't replace the tub, garbage disposal said they would reimburse only 75 for a new one which I bought, they do not cover install cost 100$, sent in receipt 4 weeks ago. Called the other day for an update. Kept me on hold for 20 mins, said I needed to fill out a form which is BS, never said anything about this form in the original e-mail stating the 75 reimbursement. Still no check asked to speak to a supervisor. They said the supervisor comes in at 11:30 am, also the contractors they sent out are all scam artists, read the reviews on the companies they use. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. ALL THOSE REVIEWS ARE COMPLETE BS. TRUST ME. THEY SHOULD BE SUED AND PUT OUT OF BUSINESS!!!

    Isaac ** was great to work with today. He offered what I feel was a great deal for three and half years that gave me peace of mind for future repairs and locked in the rate for my future renewals. He also added six months, roof leak coverage and advised how I could lower the service call fee. I would highly recommend contacting this company for a quote. I believe they could save you money but most of all peace of mind for any expensive repair costs.

    I have had a very pleasant experience. My husband is military and I can't always take care of the house with him gone, they make it so easy to get someone out here to help. Plus the deductible is amazing. Plus I didn't need to go into an office to set up, I just gave a call and I was taken care of! I have renewed twice and it took maybe 5 mins! I would recommend to anyone! I have only had a few things to call about but they always send a decent contractor.

    Furnace went out, called Select Home Warranty, was on hold for 30 mins, spoke to rep. They immediately found a maintenance comp. Maintenance diagnosis problem. Submitted problem to company. Was initially disappointed because it would take 24 to 48 hrs for approval to fix but since it was the weekend it actually took 4 days. I had to submit pictures and maintenance records. Eventually it was approved and I was very happy. What I missed on the contract was the fine print in section 9 that talked about maintaining maintenance and cleaning records. I never keep those records but will make sure that I will from now on. Thank you Select Home Warranty.

    I just purchased this policy this evening so I do not have much to say for my experience yet. It was Easy to set up policy, emailed the documents almost instantly and the rates were a lot less than what I am currently paying with another company. I hope the coverage will be similar to what I currently have. Read online and there were several positive reviews.

    Never have I experienced such a scam. I bought this warranty due to the extensive coverage and (somehow) because they were noted as best in service. They told me my water tank would be covered. I experienced a huge leak and my policy states they cover parts and components that contribute to the function of the unit. They told me that because it is leaking it wouldn’t be covered. Seems a bit contradictory to me.

    They also wanted me to wait 24-48 hours for one of their technicians to come out. It’s 40 degrees here, so that’s just unacceptable. They also told me I could use my own plumber but they may not be approved. It’s just a scam through and through. Good luck escalating anything too. They give you every excuse in the book. They could of done what was right and replaced the unit which my policy said was covered in big CAPITAL letters. They send you all of these pages of fine print loopholes after you have your policy.

    Biggest waste of money and just a completely disappointing and dishonest company. Save the cash from a home warranty and put it in savings. Less stress in the long run and you don’t get the runaround. Don’t slice what the sales reps tell you. They will call you relentlessly and hound you. But when you need to file a claim they are nowhere to be found. I purchased a policy with them and for the next 5 days after I still got sales reps calling me trying to sell me a home warranty.

    Reviewed Jan. 24, 2019

    Just 2 days ago, I gave SHW raving reviews, until today, when I was denied a claim on our hot water heater. We closed on our home 11/5/18. The house was not brand new. When I bought this warranty, the salesman assured me all components would be covered. That was very misleading. The plumber they sent out on 01/21/19 said that the hot water heater coils were corroded and would need to be replaced. The claim was sent in to Select Home Warranty. I got an email from them yesterday 01/23/19 denying the claim, much to my surprise. Now remember we just closed on our house on 11/5/18 and moved into the house on 11/12/18 just a little over 2 months when the hot water heater started having problems.

    After all even under the contract on hot water heaters is says that coils and such are covered. BUT now here comes that one little stipulation that they do not tell you about when you buy a warranty from them. Under section 9.1.2 it states that they will not cover any repairs if a unit was not maintained and failure to properly clean whatever it is you are trying to get fixed.

    Now when we moved into our house, the hot water was working and we thought all was good. But since the unit was not maintained properly by the previous owners evidently, not sure how you're supposed to clean the electric coils on a hot water heater. We were denied the claim to have them cover fixing our hot water heater.

    Be careful and make sure you understand exactly what will happen if such and such go out. I can see them using the clause on 9.1.2 to keep from paying for numerous repairs. Select Home Warranty should advise the consumers that if you buy a used home, unless you have papers showing whatever breaks down was properly maintained that item will not be covered. I only wish we had been informed about this policy to start with, we would not have wasted our $613.00. I am not giving up on trying to get them to repair our hot water heater, and will update this review "IF" Select Home Warranty does the right thing.

    Good Morning! I was the first to reach out regarding the claim of having no heat but I never received a response. Then, I had my mother, Charlotte ** reach out who, while on the phone, filled out the proper information regarding the claim was instructed on what to do and that the claim would get paid out. She called to follow up only to be informed that a claim never came through and she had to fill out/submit all the information over again via online. So, for a first time experience it was not good. We called a repair person due to it being Christmas Eve and the house was below 50 degrees in the house, it was freezing.

    We were not informed we needed to contact our Home Warranty first; I am assuming because this was considered an emergency there will be some leniency but I guess not. We were told over the phone, via the first person we spoke with the claim would get paid out to only find out, we will not. We were just informed of the process and moving forward, we will make sure to do so. Very disappointed in the inconstant information received.

    I went online to check out Select Home Warranty coverage plans. I had barely looked around the site and received a phone call from one of their sales representatives offering me a better plan with a better discount and a lower service or trip fee than was posted on the site. I was impressed that they cover roof leaks as well as my free standing freezer, as most other warranty companies exclude both those items. I was happy to learn that I could purchase multiple years coverage and save even more and lock in my service or trip fee as well. Hoping I won't have to use the coverage but so glad I have it in case something unexpected happens. We are purchasing a home previously lived in and you just never know how other people maintain their appliances and systems. Very happy with the coverage they offer at an affordable price with the locked in savings for multiple years.

    When you call and chat with customer service in my honest opinion they go above and beyond in trying to assist you when you have concerns about anything that pertains to your home warranty. They go out of their way to make sure you get someone out to take care of any problems with anything that you have covered through them. If you have problems with a technician they will rectify the problem in the fastest way possible.

The technician called me and told me how much SHW will cover and requested for me to pay him $87 to be the part which I gave him my credit card over the phone, however, since that day the technician has refused to pick my phone for over 4 weeks.

    I called Select Home Warranty every day for good additional 4 weeks, they kept posting me. Telling me to keep having patience at 8 weeks. Unfortunately, I had another electrical problem, called this company, in fairness they sent me about 4 electrical company names via email, I called all companies but they declined to take up this job, all told me that Select Home Warranty does not pay their technician for months but taking money from their customers. My house was in darkness throughout New Year's Eve till date with 2 toddlers at home.

    They made me and my family go through hell. After all, a new technician came, diagnosed for my washer, dryer, and electrical problem, they only approved the washer. Technician charges over $300 but they approve just $125. Please be aware of this company, they only care about your money. Very poor customer service. I suffered under this company for almost 3 months with no resolution. I will not recommend this company to anyone including my enemies. PLEASE BE AWARE, trust me. Am a very honest review writer. If you yield my advice, you will regret it and it will be so pain. I know all of their customer representative names and voices because I went through hell. Stay away from them.

    First of all, reported problem via website but didn't get a response so called the 800 number and waited on hold for about 15 minutes. Finally reported that I needed to have a thermostat replaced. After a couple more days, a tech was sent out and cleaned something in the unit but did not replace the thermostat. A day later, the problem returned and asked the tech to come back and check it out. He then determined that the thermostat indeed needed to be replaced but I had to report it back to Select. Now, they won't send him back out without me sending in pictures and maintenance records even though he has identified the problem. So they are refusing to make the repair. So for a week, no heat. Customer service has been horrible and I see no benefit in having this warranty.

    This company seems to hold a very tight grip on what it disburses, with tight limitations on the period of time you can report a problem for filing a claim (within three days after an incident) and a low preauthorized limit ($100) for what the technician can do without further permission from the company. The low preauthorized limit is nearly equal to what the homeowner pays the technician to inspect the problem ($75 per claim). That said, the company is always polite and offers helpful customer service.

    This company appears to be little more than a carefully crafted fraud. They assigned technicians to repair our furnace. None ever showed to do the work. When we asked them why, 2 of the 3 assigned said they had not been paid by Select Home Warranty and as such were not willing to do work for them. The 3rd tech assigned by Select Home Warranty never showed at all. After nearly 2 months of delays, Select Home Warranty demanded that we call our own technician at our own expense. We did so. When the technician arrived a Select Home Warranty representative badgered them on the phone pressing to force them to state that the repair of our furnace should not be covered. Our technician grew angry, handed me the phone back and refused to speak with the Select representative any further. The repair came to $313. Select said our reimbursement would be processed within 24 hours.

    When no contact came after nearly 3 days, I followed up. Even more lies, diversion, and demands for a never ending list of documentation followed. When I tried to cancel, another smooth operator apologized for everything and promised to make good for months' worth of sins. All if I would just send one more piece of paperwork. I did so. He came back three days later with an offer to pay $150 of a $313 bill! I asked what would have happened if the bill was $10,000. He said the reimbursement would be the same... a cap of $150! In a smarmy tone he said, “Didn’t you read the policy?”

    If you look closely, all of the reviews touting Select Home Warranty as trustworthy are paid advertisements. Based on my first-hand experience as a customer with more than a year of premiums paid, this is nothing more than a very artfully crafted fraud. I am in contact with the State Attorney General in my home state and I strongly suggest that you stay as far away from these swindlers as possible!

    I had a policy with Select Home Warranty. 1) Had a problem with my dishwasher and after the policy states they will repair or replace appliances I was told I could only get $100 for my dishwasher because of its age. 2) During summer month I placed a claim for the evaporative cooler which is atop my house. The first tech they gave me came out once, told me I needed a new blower. They said they would contact Select Home. I never heard from them again. After several calls to Select Home, a second tech was sent out. I never heard back from them and Select Home continually told me the claim had been approved. It is now December in Colorado. I had to have the unit shut-down. I contacted Select Home and they gave me the runaround... Said the tech said unit improperly installed... The unit has been on my home for 10 yrs.

Then I went back and read it more thoroughly. Sure enough it's in there. They do not cover leaks (which is common problem).

    We purchased the Home Warranty on or about 9 December 2018. We had to install a new pressure regulator because the water pressure in our house was 110 psi and it was supposed to be 50. Our faucets, outside water faucet and reverse osmosis system were leaking and the water company told us it was because of too much water pressure. We had to call a plumber on 11 January 2019 because the leaks were becoming worse. Since we were in a panic and needed the issue fixed, we didn't even think of the home warranty we had just purchased.

    After the fact, we realized we should have called them. We called them and explained the situation. They were very nice and said they would review our situation. We received a reply a few days later that it would not be covered because we did not live up to our agreement of calling them first to get a repair person sent out. We understand their answer and know we should have but in a moment of panic to have our problem fixed quickly and not being accustomed to having a policy like this, we called a plumber on our own. As new customers, we feel perhaps you could allow us one oops and pay the bill or at least a portion. We did save you money by not reporting it. The person we talked to at the home warranty place was very nice.

A little after a year our furnace stop working so we called and went through the process. We were informed that they had someone coming out to look at it and sent us the company info. It was cold out and we had no heat so I called the company coming to see when they would be there and they told us that they no longer do work for Select Home Warranty because they had problems with them paying them. It was now two days without heat and the kids were starting to get cold in the evenings. We were then told by Select Home Warranty to call a local company to come out and e-mail them the diagnoses.

    Long story short the unit was in need of a part expensive enough to maybe get it going that they recommended a replacement. We were now about 6 days without heat. After 10 days without heat in January we got it fixed. Select Home Warranty wanted pictures and 3 years of maintenance records. We sent pictures, and two years counting the start of this years maintenance that we had done and they would not accept because we could not show 3 years. We informed them that we have only lived there going on two years and would send settlement papers to them to prove it but they would not accept. This seems nearly impossible to find the old owner of the house and hope that they have old records. Please save your money and do not purchase a home warranty from Select Home Warranty.

    Just the facts and you decide. I purchased one policy for my Minnesota home, and one for my Florida home. I purchased the repair OR replace; if it can't be repaired it will be replaced. Please know that they don't share the fine print until after you purchase the policy: $60.00 Service Call fee for each claim. You pay the contractor $60.00 just to show-up. $2000 cap on their payout for heating and cooling. I don't know where you can find a new furnace or AC for $2000. $400 cap on their payout for EVERYTHING ELSE. THEY decide if your claim is covered.

    My Minnesota experience: AC went out, very very hot July day. They took the information and stated someone would get back to me in 1 or 2 days to schedule a time to come out. 3 days with no AC on very hot July days? Unacceptable to me. I asked them if it was 40 below in the winter and my furnace went out, is it also 1-2 day, and they confirmed yes; they don't approve after hours call. I explained that my water pipes would have frozen by then, burst, and flooded my home. It did not change their urgency in getting someone to my home.

    I promptly cancelled my Minnesota policy, which finally did their attention but it was too for them to change my mind. I threatened to ALSO cancel my Florida policy if they kept pushing to keep the Minnesota policy, at which time they backed off. I handle the AC service call myself and had it fixed by the end of the day; a very minor issue that only cost $75.00. I have a much better policy where I pay $60.00 per month, no service call fee to me, and if they can't repair it they replace it - NO CAPS ON THEIR PAYOUTS!

    My Florida experience: My home in the country with a well and septic, and I had purchased extra coverage for the well pump and septic system. The well pump stopped working. Again, 1-2 days. Really? The policy has no allowances for emergent or urgent issues. They claim they escalate the issues, but it doesn't really matter; they will not approve after-hours service calls because they are more expensive. I learned that the well pump does indeed need to be replaced. SHW did agree that it was a covered benefit, and authorized a payout of the maximum allowable of $400.00. A new well pump costs $1400.00. I'm currently contacting the Better Business Bureau and looking for a class-action lawyer. They didn't provide any of these details prior to me purchasing the policies. It was only after I paid them that they emailed me my policies, and the "fine print". You decide.

After I first said no to Daniel he "spoke with his manager" and I was offered a lower price and additional month, which changed my mind and I accepted. Offer the best you have up front and cut out the "let me speak to my manager" part. Once again, I am pleased with Daniel and my contract.

    Bruce ** did a great job clearly laying out options and gave me a great deal on my home warranty. He is an excellent customer service rep. He was responsive, articulate, helpful, flexible, and very courteous. I would recommend others use Bruce and the Select Home Warranty company for their home warranty needs. I look forward to a long and lasting relationship with Select Home Warranty and trust they will continue the excellent service that Bruce provides on my initial call today. Thank you Bruce!

    Garbage Disposal - Customer service was very good and friendly. Everything was fast and perfect on the phone. It took 2 days to get the email telling me I was approved and get it replaced and I will get the money back. Thank you. I would recommend it to friends. I haven't replaced the broken item yet but I'm very sure once I replace it I will get the money back like they told me in the email. Thank you so much again. I hope everybody get the same experience as me. Have a great day everybody.

    I would not recommend this company at all. I put in a service call online on January 10, 2019. I called on January 11, 2019 to check on the status because no one called me to let me know what was going on with my claim. I was told it takes 24-48 hours. So I called again on January 13, 2019 because still no one had contacted me about my claim. I was told that the website was being updated and they would have to take my claim over the phone. So they took my claim and told me I should receive an email shortly, needless to say I never received an email. Called the company back on January 15, 2019 to find out the status on my claim and was told that my claim was denied because they don't cover water leaks from an HVAC system. They just cover certain parts. My thing is this, how do you know where the leak is coming from if you don't come out to survey what the problem or even if it not a problem with one of the items that you do cover.

    Adam was professional and helpful. I shopped several warranty offers and found Select to be the best for my client in terms of value and coverage. As a Realtor I will likely recommend use of Select to other clients providing that this client Julia ** has a good experience.

    He explain the coverage real good. He told in detail how they would send someone to fix or replace with only very low service fee. He also explain about the coverage on air condition, especially important. If cannot fix they would replace with only low service fee. I, most of all like the coverage on washing machine and water heater which I had to replace two years ago if I had this warranty. Would only cost service fee. He said they would have a service person to respond very quick. To me that is very important.

    I signed up with them a year ago for my property. I was promised courteous and attentive customer care with fast service from good, licensed contractors. Also I was told I would be allowed to choose my own contractor and they would reimburse me the funds I was out of pocket in excess of the $45 deductible in a 'timely' manner. Let's see how well that has worked out:

    1) Attentive customer care - NONE of their customer service personnel speak English as a primary language. That, in and of itself, is not a problem, but when they haven't learned the language well enough to be understood by someone who is multilingual - that IS a problem especially when there is no one there to whom they can transfer me to get the help I need. More over, the 'customer care' center, while polite, is useless. They can't get anything done especially when there is a problem. You can’t call in a claim – you have to submit it online – what happens if the problem precludes your ability to use your computer?! Then they call you back in a day or two for 'more information'. There is no place or way for you to check your account(s) or claims online to see the status.

    2) Fast service – First is to note the fact that once you submit a claim, it takes them a day or two to call you back for ‘more information’ which amounts to your name and address and type of claim - all information which you already provided to them online. Then it takes them another “24 to 48 hours” for “Claims to assign a contractor who you have to call to set up an appointment. So, even under perfect circumstances, you're already at a week before the contractor gets to your property.

    Well, the first plumbing problem I had was spraying water all over the downstairs. I had to turn the water off and called in a claim. After a week during which there was ZERO running water at the property, and multiple calls to the 'claims' center, they STILL hadn't assigned a contractor so I chose my own and got it fixed. That ‘fix’ caused problems up the lines. The company was notified this might happen prior to the first repair. But, when I called in the second claim for a leak up the line, I was refused service on the basis that I had ‘signed a release’ which, apparently, was in tiny print on the check they sent me and prevents me filing a claim on that water line in perpetuity. So after one claim, I can no longer use the service for my water intake pipes - EVER! What sort of insurance is that?

    The second claim I put in involved a broken sewer pipe inside the house which was dumping sewer water into my downstairs. AGAIN, No assignment after 48 hours so I called again. I was promised assignment in 48 hours. That didn't happen. I called again and got the name of the contractor they had assigned. The contractor was in a DIFFERENT STATE and didn't work my state. So I called back AGAIN! After much teeth gnashing and threats, finally got to speak to a manager who promised me immediate assignment and a call back that afternoon with the name and number. Didn't happen. I am now at 7 days with sewer water running inside the house and they haven't responded in anything vaguely resembling a 'fast' or 'courteous' manner.

    3) Timely reimbursement - It took them 2 months to get me a reimbursement check! How is that timely?! I submitted the paid receipt the very day it was paid. It took them a WEEK to get me the 'appropriate claim forms' and another 6 weeks to get the check after that was submitted back to them. I'm elderly and on a fixed income. That $250 was my food money for the month. I had to sponge off my friends and family to eat thanks to their 'timely reimbursement' policy.

    Again, I'm going to have to choose my own contractor to get this problem fixed. Having a broken sewer pipe dumping filthy water into my home for more than a week is simply unacceptable. I don't know how I'm going to manage, but at least I have a supportive group of family who will help me out financially while I wait for them to 'reimburse me'. I am now actively looking for a replacement warranty service.

    Our salesperson William ** was exceptional. We are covering all aspects of the home and now we can rest easier in case something stops working. He answered all of our questions well and made himself available for the future. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a home warranty. We especially like this about the policy: "Is there a limit to the number of repairs Select covers? No, Select Home Warranty allows an unlimited number of covered repairs."
