I have been having an issue with my toilet for a while. I contacted SHW and they asked me a lot of questions about what the problem was and details about the make and model of the toilet. After I gave them all the information they had a plumber contact me directly to schedule a time to come and do the repairs. Overall I was satisfied with my services.

We had a problem with our pool over the summer. I remembered that I bought a policy with SHW and added coverage for my pool. I called SHW and they asked me a lot of questions about my pool and what the problem was. They then had a contractor get in contact with me and to schedule an appointment to come to inspect the pool. The technician was able to make the repairs on the same day and had the pool running great. Was very happy.

I had problems with my stove this past summer. I submitted a claim online and got a call back within 24 hours. The stove was not heating up. The technician came to inspect the stove and replaced the part that was not working. I only gave 3 stars because it took the technician 2 days to come and fix the stove.

I needed to buy this policy as I was buying a new home. My real estate agent recommended SHW. The hold time was less than 10 min. I asked all the questions needed and did not feel rushed at all. I had an option to choose if I wanted a 1 year or 5 year policy. I was not pressured into buying anything long term. I have had some questions ever since buying the policy and the reps on the phone were polite and answered all my questions.

We purchased a 2yr warranty with Select for the specific purpose of covering our HVAC replacement when we bought our home, knowing the system was 17yrs old when we purchased the house. The unit was not in great shape and had some internal rust from, what I gathered, was some sort of leak in the history of the house before us. Long story short, when our HVAC unit finally died, Select pulled the typical warranty company BS and said "There's rust damage, so we don't cover that". I had certified HVAC tech's that inspected the unit at the time we purchased the home who came back and looked at it and said the unit had not incurred any damage beyond what was there when we purchased the home; in short, it died because it was now 19yrs old.
So according to Select, my HVAC system was not going to be covered from the get-go... but "we'll go ahead and take your $700+ thank you!" Then they stopped returning phone calls and when I was supposed to get a call from their Office Manager... shocker... they never called. Absolute criminals. BTW... the best/worst part (other than the $3k+ bill for the new HVAC system) was I called the HVAC company Select sent out to do the HVAC call (who determined the unit was finally shot), and THEY (the HVAC company) said they were involved in THREE cases exactly like mine, ALL WITH SELECT, and they were now evaluating whether or not they were going to continue business with Select.
I am reporting them to my state's Insurance Commission, as this kind of crap is just dirty, wrong, and pretty much con-artist business. I highly suggest, if you have been scammed by them like I have, you follow suit.

I called Select Home Warranty when I was having problems with my a/c over the summer. It kept blowing hot air and we didn't know why it wasn't working. When I spoke to someone they said that they would send someone out to take a look at what the problem was. When the contractor came he inspected the unit and made the repairs on the spot. I was very happy to see that everything was taken care of properly and it all went smoothly.

My microwave went out in September. I contacted Select Home and submitted pictures of the built-in unit and supplied the model number and serial number. I was then told they do not repair microwave ovens and once I replace it they will send me $95.00. I had to purchase a new microwave and send them a copy of the invoice and relieve them of any additional responsibilities. I submitted all the requirements on September 20th, 2015 and was informed I would receive the $95 within 30 days.
On October 20 I contacted them only to be told the check would go out on November 10th and it could be 7 to 10 days before I would receive it. Today is November 17th and no payment. I emailed them today and received email back that a check would be sent on November 24th. That means they have collected 3 months of more than $50/month from me and still have not reimbursed me the $95. It cost me the price of a new microwave plus $200 removal and installation on the new unit. Beware buyers!

I had an issue with the plumbing last year and had to pay for repairs. A friend then told me about a company who offers home warranties and recommended Select Home Warranty. When I called them I asked a lot of questions about coverage and the person on the phone was very polite and friendly. Last week I had an issue with the plumbing again (same problem as last year). I called Select Home Warranty and they sent someone out right away. The contractor was very efficient and nice. I had the same problem and already knew what the cost would have been had I paid out of pocket. But this time I only had to pay my deductible which was only $45. I was so happy because I saved hundreds of dollars just on this service call. That alone made the policy value well worth what I paid.

I signed up for Select Home Warranty in Hawaii. They told me it was a one time service fee for any problems, no other fees. My dishwasher broke. They told me they only cover $150 because it was less than 3 months. It was in the fine print. So I went ahead and had the guy fix the problem. Another service fee to have him come back out. He couldn't fix it so I bought a new one. Select home warranty said they don't cover installation. They said they would send a check for $150, which only covers the service call fees to not have the problem fixed.
Every time I called to find out what happened to the check, they told me I hadn't filled out a form. Always a new form and new excuse. Average hold time for a phone call is 1 hour! It's been over 3 months and I still haven't gotten the check. I ended up canceling the service and haven't received a refund for the 2 years I paid upfront. Very much a waste of time and money. 0 stars!!! 0 customer service, 0 value, 0 coverage.

Then a day later a man from India calls and I can't understand anything he is saying but I explained it is two issues. Then I get told I need to send in a picture of the garbage disposal to claims. Then another 24 hours passed and I am told that I need to find a plumber, and have them call with what's wrong and the cost. Then claims will determine if it is covered which by the contract I signed and paid for it is covered period with a 45 dollar co pay. Anyways, they said if it is covered to go ahead and pay then send in the bill and they will decide what to pay for? I am on disability and even if I was not, the repairs for the basement alone can run over a 1000 dollars and for anyone to come out is a service call fee.
This company is a joke and I have asked for my money back since I have never used them. I had HMS before and went with this because it was lower priced and I thought I was getting a deal. People only go with HMS or Service one because the rest are scam artists and any good reviews you read in here about this company are probably them just making up a post. If I do not get my money back I will be contacting the BBB and I will go to my bank and have them reverse the charges as they have not provided the contracted services. Sadly, I bet I will have to take them to small claims to see my money back which I need to get a real warranty company.

This company has been giving me a run around for months. It started in July of 2014 when the AC stop working. They sent a technician out who ^said the system needed replaced. The company ^told me they would not replace it or fix it but offered $125.00 for my trouble. It was $1800.00 for the tech they sent to fix it and they ^told me when the replacement was done with an appeal letter and all receipts and it was possible I would $200.00 towards the new unit. I was laid off at the time and decided to wait until June 2015 to replace the unit. The appeal with all receipts was sent on August 1, 2015 and again I was informed that all I would get is $125.00. I ^threw in the towel, signed the agreement, and faxed it back on 8/19. They claimed they never got it but I had the confirmation.
I faxed the agreement again in early September. When I checked back a week later it was in processing. I checked back early Oct and again in processing and should be getting my $125.00 check in 2 weeks. Called again 2 weeks later and I was ^told it was being processed (again) and it would be here in a week. I called today, November 5 and my claim is closed and I should be getting a check within a week or two. Every time I ask to speak to a supervisor - they are in a meeting.

I submitted a claim for a garbage disposal that was not working and was told first that they would allow me $75.00 for a disposal but not pay to have it installed. I called and complained that I am totally disabled and what kind of home warranty company doesn't pay to have the item installed!?! If my A/C went on the fritz am I expected to install a replacement! I called and raised Holy H--L, I was transferred to a "Mr. **" who then offered me $150.00 and promised a check would be mailed to me.
After several weeks of calling him and several sincere promises that I would get a check, after a month or more I got fed up and called again and again, then I was told that I had this company as a home warranty company when we bought the house, as a part of the realtor package. It appears I had cancelled them before and for good reason. I recalled that they sent me a check for the prorated part of the unused premium less the money they paid for a garbage disposal, so in effect I was forced to pay for my own claim and what's worse is the fact that the disposal they, I mean I paid for didn't last a year. I have been through open heart surgery and then a shattered leg, the result of a fall, so I had forgotten the name of the crooked warranty I had had before. I mistakenly bought from the same shyster company from New Jersey and worst of all I paid for a whole year in advance.
That's my own fault but getting back to the claim after almost a month I was told by Mr ** that the board denied my check because they (I mean, I) paid for a disposal claim before with the previous policy. So, because the disposal they (I mean, I) paid for was not worth a crap and failed after less than 15 months. I had no input on the brand or type of disposal they (I mean, I) paid for, and no input on who installed the inferior piece of crap but I was denied the $150.00 that was agreed to and that I waited a month for. No mention of the fact that they subtracted the cost of the claim from my refund. No mention of the fact that this was a whole different policy that was prepaid for.
Now I am still waiting for my refund on the cancelling of this policy, it has again been over a month. This company is a fraud and should be run out of every state they do business in.

The oven broiler was down due to defect of control panel. But to remove the control panel the face panel would be damaged. The company told us the face panel is not covered by the warranty while I see no such description in the contract. And they don't think the face panel is "necessary to the functionality of the oven." When you have problem, the company defines what's covered and what's not covered! What a joke!

After submitting a claim for my water heater, which has stopped heating and was leaking under my house at a very rapid rate, I was asked to send pictures. I complied. After sending pictures, I was told my claim was denied because the home warranty does not cover leaks. Last I checked, pretty much, when a water heater is old and quits, it pretty much leaks. So, I had to pay a plumber to replace the water heater. He couldn't install a gas heater due to new code and had to get an electrician to rewire part of my house to install an electric water heater. This entire process took over 5 days.

After several days, I called them again, and the customer service said it is not worth to repair the garbage disposal, and asked me to buy new one, and install it. They only pay me $75 for the new unit. But the cheapest unit costs me $84, and I need find the contractor to install it. I argue with them, but the customer service guy said it is in the policy. I don't have choice. I bought the new unit, and hired the contractor to install it.
After that, I went into the reimbursement process. I gave them the invoice, and they asked me the bank statement. After 20 days, I called them to ask the status, and when I can get my reimbursement. They said I need sign the reimbursement release form. I did it and email them back. After that, I checked them again and asked when I could get the reimbursement, the customer service guy said it takes 30 days... I'm really disappointed with such kind of service.

We will definitely not renew our warranty with SHW. We have had legitimate fixes on multiple occasions and this is how the best case scenario normally goes - wait on hold for 10 minutes just to be transferred to someone who then hangs up on you, finally make the claim and beg customer service to reimburse you, wait 60 days to get reimbursed then you call them to inquire about the holdup and they say they will have the payment out immediately (i.e. they never sent the payment out in the first place).
Worst case scenario - they don't reimburse you at all for an emergency fix because you called your own tech on a Sunday (after calling them with no answer), then when you push the case with them telling them it was a gas leak (which then brought about other problems with our oven), they refuse to pay for it because a "gas leak isn't covered"... Even though the other 2 oven fixes were items that should have been covered. So either it takes months of micromanaging to get a measly $150 out of them or they give you excuse after excuse to not cover you.

I purchased this policy because it appeared to be the most cost-effective and a lot of the others and my current warranty company. Well it turned out that this was the worse mistake of my life. I filed my first claim about 2 months after my policy was purchased only to find out that the item I was approved for was said to not be covered. Second claim was to fix the spring and garage door rod. I called the warranty people and informed them of the problem. They told me they would send me a confirmation of the repair company I was to use. Well I called the repair company to schedule an appointment for repair. The guy comes out on the scheduled day, diagnosed the problem, and said that he had to call it in because that was the policy of SHW. He called and was told that they would need to send it up for approval and it could take a day or so, but collect the trade fee.
Due to this being something I need to get done and let alone a waste of both my and the contractor's time, I paid out of pocket. I immediately called to find out if this was their standard practice and was amazed to know that this was in fact the way they do business. I immediately canceled my policy. I was told that it wouldn't take long to issue a refund but in fact it took over 30 days and when I called and finally got someone, they would tell me the refund amount to expect, but said that I would receive a letter (email) within the hour explaining the amount. After receiving the email, I called to discuss the amount. I have called several times and was told a manager was going to call me because the rep was not qualified to provide me with any information.

They gave me a plumber for the next day. Plumber says he will charge more than the contractual rate. Called for another plumber the next day. One comes another day later and said they'd not do any work because repair was over $150 (the $150 is not a contract condition). Today I called my own plumber.
Meanwhile, 500 miles away in Myrtle Beach, my young daughter is using them for an air conditioning repair. After a week and 4 promises, over nearly 2 weeks to get her someone the next day they decided they would refuse service. They sent her a note saying “it’s in the contract,” saying that they really exclude all repairs on this covered service! Her refrigerator also went down the same week. She called that in and they sent her a plumber who called her and said he refuses to work with Select Home Warranty because they are such a shoddy company!
A fourth call for service - this time by me again when my garage door failed - got me service in 48 hours, but from multiple companies who got me in the middle of their dispute with the company. The work got done on the 5th day but it cost me almost 3 times the guaranteed price because they decided pieces of the work was not covered. Surprise. This is just a racket. I doubt they ever provide a service. I have never worked with a worse company in my 67 years!

Did not respond to a broken air conditioner for 8 days and many, many phone calls. It was 105 degrees. They would not reimburse for the $3,600.00, or the stove or microwave. Stay far, far away from this company. They are the lowest of the low. I am 86 years old. They asked me total a foot of the a/c and sent it to them. As I am wheelchair bound, it would be impossible to climb in the roof for foot. Regardless, had a neighbor take them, for sending them in we were advised they would not cover, 6 days later.

This company is a scam. NEVER Sign up. They will never PAY. They only try to ensure every claim is denied by using some bylaw or the other. I have proof to show how scum they are. Every claim is technically denied with some facts of the other. Denied claims - "After a Review of the information given to us by you, it has been determined that your Policy Does Not Cover this issue, the Plumbing inside the living area of your home is covered but unfortunately your issue is outside of the home and is not covered by your policy. Please see section 6.3.1 of the policy agreement". Now when you start asking for refund some amazing math will kick in and see how they calculate the refund. Apparently these folks creating a new MATH for the victims. They cannot even spell cancellation, what math can they really do? It took them really one month to invent a method to screw customers. Pathetic.
"As per your request, listed below is the refund amount, along with the formula used to calculate said amount. The non-discounted rate for a 12-month policy totals $569.94, when broken down into monthly installments, it totals approximately $47.50 a month.

I have been a customer of Select Home Warranty for about a year now. My first experience with them was on a washing machine. I would get an error code so they sent out a repair guy who could not figure out the issue, but took it apart and checked the pump and electrical connection. He left; the washer kept giving me the same code; the same guy came back two more time and still could not fix it. He said it must be the control panel. SHW sent me a letter saying that they chose to pay me fair market value instead of replacing the panel. The value they would give me was around $115. Where I would find a replacement of a Kenmore Elite front loader for $115 I have no idea, but they chose that option even though I argued. I ended up fixing it myself after looking at youtube. Their service guy did not know what he was doing.
Then I had a ceiling fan that stopped working. It was well over $300 new and was only about 2 years old. I filed the claim and without ever sending someone out to look to see if maybe it was a loose wire, they chose their payout option again: $45. How can I replace an expensive fan with $45? These guys are a total ripoff. Stay away and find a reputable warranty provider.

We were given a home warranty as part of a closing deal on our home. 6 weeks ago, our refrigerator stopped working. It took a week of calling and emailing every day to finally get a contractor assigned to us. Then they told us the contractor had up to 48 hours to contact us. Now 6 weeks later we have no resolution. SHW keeps re-assigning new contractors to us then telling us they have 48 hours to set up appointments. So far, only one contractor made a real appointment and came out to see our issue. He told us the parts that needed ordering.
Then after a week, he gave up on SHW approving the parts. Now we are just in this terrible cycle where we have no refrigerator and can't get anyone at SHW to do anything to help us. If you are thinking of using this company, think again! Don't do it!!! It is just a scam and waste of money. We are now having to get the refrigerator repaired ourselves and will be suing SHW.

We contacted a local company and they had the unit working within an hour. Select Home Warranty never called back or had anyone of their contractors call us. This was the second time we had to call them.
We called when the garage door opener would not raise the door. They did send overhead door and the repair person refused to fix the operator unless we paid them for a complete new door. This was rejected and we contacted another door company, recommended by one of our new neighbors, ABCO Garage Door Company. He repaired the door operator and inspected the door and we were told that the door was serviceable and the gear in the operator was worn out. It has been in operation since 1988.

My dryer would not dry the clothes, so I called Select Home Warranty for service. Within 3 days a service tech came out and inspected dryer. It needed a new heater/thermostat. Total cost of parts and labor was 298.25. Select told service company that they would only pay for the part which was $125. They said my contract did not pay for installation of part. When they quoted this to me, the contract they were reading from was different from mine. They claimed I had signed the one they were reading from. Not true, as the one on my phone that I sent back with my pictures of my contract with my initials said no such thing. In another paragraph the contract said if a appliance was replaced the cost of that appliance was covered not the installation. They did not replace my appliance, they repair a part.
They took a part of one paragraph and used it in a entirely different context so they wouldn't pay. Why would someone sign up for a home warranty so that it would only pay for a part, when the labor is always a larger expense. Nowhere in any of their advertising do they state only a partial payment is made on the customer's behalf. They will do anything to get out of paying a claim.
