Ordered warranty through the closing process on my new home, the seller's closing title company accidentally issued payment for warranty to wrong company. Got that issue figured out and sent correct payment to Select Home Warranty and was agreed that the mistake was not mine, but the seller's title company and that I would need coverage to start immediately. Days later my AC went out and I needed service and Select Home Warranty claims department manager agreed to process the claim even though they had not received the check from the title company. They agreed that they had all needed information, such as check # and details of check to put on file and process a claim to get my ac serviced.
Day later, they still had not sent anyone out to fix my AC. I called to speak to the claims department and they then told me that I hadn't paid my bill and they wouldn't be sending anyone out to fix my AC. I told the claims department that the previous day I had been told they would help. Then I asked to speak to anyone or try to find a solution to fix the whole mistake by the seller's title company. The claims rep then told me that I just needed to pay my bills and transferred me to accounting department. Then the accounting department (Adam) said the same, that I needed to pay and that this was all my fault. He then said "You don't call American Express when your bill is due and expect them to do anything, do you?"
Then I asked if there was anything I could do, or give him a credit card and he said "Yes" but they weren't going to do anything for 30 days plus the time it would take to process a check.. I asked why I was being punished for the mistake by the title company and he said "I don't care. Call the place that your title company sent the wrong check and maybe they'll care." He then told me if I was going to get mad and have an attitude he'd just cancel my policy and not accept any payment. Then I asked him to go ahead and cancel and he said "done" then hung up.

Placing an online claim through www.selecthomewarranty.com was very easy and efficient. A few hours later a plumber was already standing at my front door ready to assist. They showed up earlier than they had promised and over delivered on my expectations.

I purchased my Select Home Warranty in September of 2014. Upon negotiating this contract, I made sure to mention to the sales rep several times that I live in a 2-story house and I have 2 separate AC units. I specifically stated in my conversation that I would like both units to be covered under this new warranty. He assured me that it would and that all was well. When I made my first claim (my fridge was leaking) this claim was denied stating that the ice maker or water dispenser was not covered under my policy. Ok, it was a part of the fridge though, but not covered. So I moved on and kept the policy anyways thinking maybe it was worth it. This summer (approx. June 2015) my upstairs air conditioner went out. I called Select and they denied it over the phone stating that I had only 1 ac covered under my policy, and it was the downstairs unit only!?
For more money I could add the 2nd unit, but I could not make a claim for 30 days. This was absurd! The only way I would of ever bought into a home warranty was if covered the entire home HVAC system! The salesman told me this would be covered, but Select Home Warranty decided not to include it in my very fine printed contract. The people I spoke to on the phone every time were rude, and basically they did not stand by what they told me when I bought the policy. I canceled the policy, and am still waiting on my refund. I called the accounting department and they could not give me a straight answer on when my refund would be coming and conveniently the billing supervisor was out, but I could call back. Basically this company is based on denying people's claims and stiffing them on their refunds when they cancel the policy.

I am pleased to write about the service I received from Select Home Warranty on a very hot early August day. I placed an air conditioning claim and within a few hours a technician was at my home.

I switched my home warranty service from AHS to Select after being 4 year with AHS. After 3 months I had an issue with Kitchen sink and filed a claim. In 3 days I have called them 4 times and every time a different story. Haven't received a vendor assignment yet. Now the Guy tells me that they will be sending a check for the garbage disposal and I have to install it myself!! Poor claim handling, Poor call quality - as it seems they are using some cheap/VOIP based 3rd party call center, No 24 Hrs support, as guys on weekend didn't even have access to account. They were just taking message to convey someone in Select on Monday (so 24 X 7 hrs service is BS). It is not just true "service call fee only" as in AHS I had similar issues and just paid the service fees. Here they will send me check for hardware and I need to figure out how to install or hire plumber myself.

This company has no business operating in Hawaii. They have no database and approved vendor list. I filed a claim for my dishwasher, after dealing with an unauthorized vendor who spent 2 hours and damaged my dishwasher, he was unable to fix it. I am offered $125 by Select Home to either fix my dishwasher on my own or buy a new one at my own cost ($1200)! Despite numerous emails and phone calls I am completely ignored by their claims people. Having paid $47.24 service fee, I neither have a fixed dishwasher nor a diagnosis report. Still waiting for their "Customer Advocate" to return my emails and calls. Recommend to read your contract well before signing. They charge your credit card first, when they sign you up, and then serve you with a one-sided contract and 30 days maturity period.

A/C units were not cooling. They sent a maintenance company out. Technician put freon in one unit, not in the other one that was worse than the one. Technician said he thought there could be a leak in evaporator coil. Warranty company denied the claim to replace coil, citing that it was not a major component of a/c unit. They also stated that No Freon issues were not covered. I was so confused because technician added freon to one unit?? I had a a/c company come out, sent report to warranty company. He called Select. Go NOWHERE with them! I canceled my policy! Worse Company Ever!!! So long!

I've had my home warranty with this company starting on my second year. First I renewed my policy in March as soon as I got my notice even though my previous policy didn't expire until the end of June. I have been getting phone calls and voice messages to please contact them about "renewing my expiring policy for the last 4 months”. I have repeatedly talked to them and been assured my name would be removed from their calling list. Only to receive more calls with the same assurances about being removed.
This week I tried to file a claim concerning an electrical switch and stressed repeatedly that it was not a light fixture problem but it was the switch. I received a return email stating that my light fixture was not a covered item. When I responded stating my claim was not for the fixture they said someone would contact me within 24 hrs. That was 2 days ago and I haven’t heard anything. So far my experience with this company is that they are real good at processing payments but are seriously lacking when it comes to competence and service.

Complete LIES and Misrepresentation of this company is what you get in the sales pitch to buy. BEWARE of the salesman Jonathan ** who promises to fix or replace everything that is not structural. Good luck having anyone be the service man for this Select Home Warranty. It takes weeks for anyone to arrive, then they take $45 for a service call, promise to return and no one comes back. I paid $1499 for this policy, cancelled after extremely bad service. The manager Mr. ** promised to refund me and after many weeks I received a small check for $425. (Please notice that all negative remarks toward this company are crossed out and made difficult to read.)

I have filed 3 claims using my home warranty. All three denied for unknown reasons. When asked what the appeal process was, I was told that there was no appeal process. I asked to speak with a manager on several occasions, but every time "he was on the telephone and will call you back." I am still waiting for a manager callback since July 7, 2015. I filed a claim about a clogged toilet. It was an emergency situation, as all my toilets were being affected by the clog in the main drain. I called the only plumber in the area and paid the invoice.
When I called SHW claims (07/07/2015), they said "No problem, just send in the invoice and a picture of the affected toilet and we will reimburse you minus the $45 deductible." I faxed the invoice to the telephone # provided (732-490-6612) and received a fax confirmation. They denied the claim because I did not call them prior. The vendor I used is on their list. I have tried several times to speak with a manager with negative results. Very angry and want a refund on this worthless policy.

Having hard time in getting payment for the claim I already submitted around 40 days back. When I emailed the release letter on 7/2 and tried to check the status of claim on 8/7, the CSR says they received release letter email today and it will take 30 days from now. Until date they never sent any of their technician for any problems and they just say we should get everything done by ourselves and a portion of it (as per their terms) they will process the claim. God know if they really process the claims or not and this firm looks very suspicious to me. What's the point in having home warranty when we need to take care of everything.

We purchased extra coverage for our second AC unit, pool and sprinkler system. We paid extra for the premium coverage just in case, but it was pointless with this company. Where do I start...We had a leak from our master bathroom shower that caused damage to our kitchen ceiling to the downstairs. They serviced out to a company that never answered their phone. It took over a month and no one ever was able to come out. We had to hire our own people and they never covered that damage. We paid out of pocket.
Our upstairs AC unit went out. First, it took over a week for someone they recommended to come out. We had to call our own people. The work the AC company did was not covered because "it was not a mechanical problem". The dryer filter was broken and it had to be fixed. They said that it was not a mechanical problem therefore it was not covered. We paid out of pocket.
Then, our garage door spring broke, saying that it was not covered because it was not a mechanical problem. We paid out of pocket. Then our sprinkler system stopped working. The people they sent out had no idea what was going on and stated that they did not have the equipment to help us. We were fed up by then and told them to just cancel our policy. Then they told us that we had to pay a $75 cancellation fee! Are you kidding me! DO NOT get this policy unless you like throwing money away. They do NOT cover anything and the companies they work with are not reliable. If they answer their phones, then they come when they please.

My washer broke down on July 16th. The first vendor assigned to fix the issue informed me that Select would not pay more than $100 to them to repair the issue. Their minimum is $250 for the trip charge. The second vendor assigned told me that they don't do business with Select anymore. MANY reviews online state that Select will not pay their vendors' invoices for at least a year, if at all. It's been 3 weeks and I still have a broken "covered" appliance. They now want me to find my own repair service and pay out of pocket.
I want a refund of my 10 months of premiums but they will not do that, nor will they commit to anything in writing. No e-mails have a signed name and they claim to be calling and calling me, but no messages or missed calls. This company is the ultimate run-around and I'm sorry if you have been paying them for 'coverage' like I have. I spoke just now to their after hours service (Michelle) who said that she hears this story a lot. Even their own reps hate the company. Don't pay for this service as it will get you nothing in return but headaches and frustration. They try so hard to get you off the phone...

Select Home Warranty... This is to inform you of the incompetent Company you are and technicians you are dealing with! First of all Nick of ext # ** lied to me saying that all issues will be covered as policy states. You concluded that "The Issue was Not Due to Normal Wear and Tear in which is Specifically Excluded from Coverage" so in another words you said that I let the fan motor and capacitor burn! How can you determined that it was my fault.
I came home around 5 pm. The A/C was not working and your conclusion was that I let the fan motor burn. Please... Give me a break... it would be easy to say that the fan motor and the capacitor are too expensive and Select Home Warranty cannot afford to fix. Good luck.. and believe me I will spread the word. It was my fault in not to make a research of your company first. According to what I saw while reviewing your company, it seems that in Florida all A/C (HVAC) issues cases were all denied coverage..

I purchased this home warranty when we bought our home almost 9 months ago. Within the last 2 weeks, our central air unit went out. This was the first I have had the need to even turn on the unit since we moved in. I followed the steps, contacted the company, and they told me 3 or 4 different contractors would be contacting me (none did, I had to call one of them). It was determined that the unit was going to have to be replaced. The claim was denied because I am unable to provide annual service records for the past 3 years, when I have not even lived there that long and the previous owners didn't give me any of that information. I did manage to find a local company that had done some repairs, but since it was not a maintenance record, it was not good enough.
Therefore, only $100 will be allowed toward my new AC unit, as I am being penalized because the previous owner did not provide me with any maintenance records, or perhaps never had any maintenance done annually. That being said, I asked about my furnace, which is 30 years old. There are no maintenance records for that unit either. Even if I had a contractor come out and do "annual maintenance" for me right now and my furnace goes out this winter, I was told it will NOT be covered because of the previous owner's lack of maintenance. Apparently that is my fault when I purchased this warranty to cover myself over things like this. Do your research and read all fine print in the contract (which they don't send until after you sign to purchase) and when it says "maintenance records" are required, ask how far back and what happens if you don't have them or access to them.

Make no mistake, they will not reveal many important points on the contract until after you have become a member. They never sign their emails with their names unless pressed and then you get a first name! Nothing they say is valid and changes depends on who you ask and talk to! At the end their 30 days free trial becomes a nightmare and they bring so many excuses not to refund your money. A really bad company!!
I am a professional property manager and have tried several companies and got sucked into the cheaper annual fees and freebies! What a mistake to leave my old company. If you join First American you will never leave them! I made a big mistake and I am paying for it now!! In less than 30 days Select Home Warranty is trying to take 1/3 of my prepaid annual dues - I will take them to court if I have to but will not let them cheat me - they got the wrong person to mess with it this time. They will pay 5 times more for the attorney fees in court! Then they will maybe learn - DO not do business with Select Home Warranty!!

I want to advise every potential customer of this company to review the contract with a fine tooth comb. We have attempted to submit three claims for various items in our house, two of which were outright denied. The final claim was approved, however they authorized only $95 for a mounted 1000 watt microwave (our deductible is $45). They refused to include installation for the replacement microwave, despite the fact that a non-permanently mounted microwave is excluded from the contract. After an exhaustive search for a mounted 1000 watt microwave, I could not find any product that came close to $140.
The customer service rep (Jermel at extension **) was unable to provide me (despite being asked multiple times) to provide a make and model of a microwave that is comparable to our current one that cost $140. I understand Select Home Warranty is a business, designed to make a profit, but with their exhaustive list of non-included items the customer gets screwed every time. Our incompetent rep (once again, Jermel at extension **) refused to put a supervisor on the phone when asked. Be very, very cautious and skeptical of anything this company offers you. They are happy as clams to take your monthly payment, but when it comes to helping a customer it is a different story. I just wish this website allowed me to give less than a 1 star review, because in my opinion, 1 star is being overly generous.

Michael at EXT ** sold me on this Scam Home warranty policy. Promised me the world. It breaks we fix or replace. I told him I had two Air-condition units, one 17 years old and the other 1 year old. He told me NO problem, they either fix it or replace it. Guess what, they did neither. Fine Print in CONTRACT says you need all your SERVICE RECORDS. Who keeps those?!! And when he sells you on this of course he NEVER Mentions all you will get is $100 without service records. That's what they offered me. Not a penny more. Also had problem with a 3 year old Maytag Washing machine. Since it had a 2-10 year LIMITED Warranty SHW wouldn't touch it. Any product you have that has limited warranty with Manufacturer they won't touch!!! Read the fine print or you're screwed. What do I need this policy for?
64 days into my contract I called about a washing machine. Guess what. They have a hidden 90 day clause that the max payout is $150. They find every way to NOT pay anything. READ YOUR CONTRACT and if you do you will NEVER sign with this company. You call in for a problem and they ask you the hidden questions in the fine print in the contract. They are PROS at not paying and finding the exact clause to not pay. On top of that I called to cancel my contract after the first fiasco and Michael asked me not to. He offered me 3 extra months free. Guess what I took the bait and then ran into the Air-condition mess where all they were willing to give me was $100. Insane. The free months is a no brainer for them because it costs them ZERO because they don't pay.
Would NEVER EVER recommend this company to anyone. I have no idea how they could ever get repeat business. The bottom line is they look for every reason to not pay a claim. That is their goal. Period. Everything is in the fine print. That's what they tell you and by then it's too late for you. I paid them over $500 for the contract and have personally spent more than that to fix all the things they wouldn't. I can't believe the BBB has not shut them down.

He really showed how much he really cared for his client because he gave me, from a two-year refund, to a three-year of full refund. They may had a mishap on handling my account, but they only showed how to rectify a mistake and be true to their commitment. I have not had my actual refund yet, but my verbal agreement that came from "Jason" would suffice that my belief in their service will soon be back.

They did not even call me. They said they email me last April 2015, which is untrue. I checked my email and the only email I got in the month of April is their promotion... the only email Select Home Warranty always does to me.

I have got a bad experience with Select Home Warranty. Since the purchase I have filed around 4 claims with this company. Each time they will assign to a contractor and we have to schedule an appointment with them, every time I have to pay $45. Each time it is denied citing not covered in policy. The one time we had a problem with the water heater, while submitting the claim I have specified that it is a tank less water heater but still they assigned a contractor and the technician took some photos of the water heater and said "we will send our notes/review to your warranty people." After couple of days got a response from Select Home Warranty that "we don't cover tank less water heater." I am surprised, while signing the policy they will take all the information about our appliances.
The last claim I had is with Slab water leakage in the garage. Even here also same thing happened. Contractor came to my house, took the pictures and after a week the Home Warranty people said "we don't cover slab leaks." If they know that they don't cover these kind of things they should inform us before/while submitting the claim. I also requested them that "I don't know any other plumbers. Please fix the issue and I will pay you whatever it costs." They said No, for that. Even though we have home warranty this year, we didn't have peace of mind.

When we submitted the claim this spring in the midst of record heat, we were advised to find our own technician since they didn't have any available. Our technician shared with us the issue, which we conveyed to the Claims dept at Select Home Warranty. We were advised to replace the unit and submit the paperwork and proof of payment on the invoice. We could expect up to $2000 reimbursement (less than half of the cost we paid). We did that.
Following up today, I was told it would not be covered for any amount, since they claim it was all broken down due to a Freon leak which our technician said could not be validated. This company has refused 2 previous claims since we moved into this house: freezer fan in our fridge, and collapsed shelving in freezer. This last and most major issue is their way of dishonoring their own advertising and contract. Very upset with this company.

Do not use this company. My 3 year policy was cancelled due to non-payment because the billing department neglected to charge my credit card as per original billing setup. I did not notice this lapse until I tried to call for a claim after the first policy year. I spoke to 3 different people. None of them were willing to try and work with me on this. I never received a lapsed billing notification, they told me it was not their responsibility to send me another bill, nor did I receive a cancellation notice. I found out today they REFUSE to reinstate the policy due to the fact that they no longer service California. I also overpaid for my now expired 1 year policy by over $125.00.

In the last 10 years, I've had policies at 3 various warranty companies, and I can say, this company is the most difficult company to work with. I had my policy for nearly a year before I made a claim on a bad faucet. Since then I've filed two other claims - one for a bad light switch and one for my septic tank motor not working. Only 1 provider showed up (the plumber). He took my money, said he'd come back with the part, and never came back to make the repair. The electrician never showed at all, and now they are stalling with making the appointment for the septic tank. For the faucet and septic tank, I've been asked to submit pictures, which I am sure is a stall tactic - I've never been asked for this in the past by other providers.
They initially denied my claim - faucet claim without knowing any details on the grounds that the product has a lifetime warranty - which had they done any due diligence at all - they would have known that the warranty transfer to the next homeowner. They keep poo-pooing me when I call - promising me they will get someone out, but no one comes. For over 6 weeks I have had a leak in my shower that is now resulting in further damage that I'm sure they won't cover. They are literally stalling every chance they get. They just want to take the premium and run. I am seriously evaluating the possibility of suing them for fraud. If you want a RELIABLE home warranty company, which will be the one I'm going back to - contact HSA. They are a bit more expensive, but clearly worth it. I won't be looking to save a few bucks again after this experience.

It was well spoken that I could activate the service any time and/or cancel at any time once the renters moved in. Unfortunately, my plans fell through and I did not rent out the house. I recently requested a refund. It took two months to finally issue the refund, however it ended up being a fraction of the original amount due to a cancellation fee and a prorated fee for two months. Of course it didn't matter that I never even used the service nor did I activate it.

I signed up for an annual home warranty contract with Select Home Warranty (SHW) on 5/8/15. I submitted my first claim to repair the outside cap of our "clean-out line" that was broken by our neighbor's landscape crew. I received a letter that this claim was declined because it was outside of my home. On 5/8 I also submitted a claim about a leaking kitchen sink. I was supposed to hear from a plumbing company within 3 days. I didn't hear from them at all. On 5/30, I called SHW again to follow-up on this issue and to add a claim on my hot water heater that looks about ready to fall through the ceiling and doesn't put out a full 40-gallons of hot water. SHW "resubmitted my claim" to the same plumbing company. I received a phone call the very next day from this contractor. When they arrived to complete the claim work on 6/2/15, he explained he never received a phone call or email from SHW.
In fact, he said that there are times he gets the claim emails over a month later after completing the work. After inspecting my broken garbage disposal, the contractor attempted to receive approval to repair it. SHW explained that I would need to pay the contractor up front and explained that the labor to install it is not covered under warranty. Additionally, the claim for my water heater positioned in my attic, which is being supported on a sagging piece of plywood, about to fall through the ceiling was denied in claim as well. As for my water heater not producing a full 40-gallons of hot water - contractor says it's due to sediment in the tank and SHW won't authorize the work to flush the tank. 4 total claims, none of them were approved per my contract with SHW.
In my opinion, this company is selling bogus contracts to the public and writing their warranties in manners that confuse the public to what is and isn't covered. I requested cancellation of my contract and a full refund of my premium and to date they have only refunded half of my premium. I have a request in to receive the additional amount. I recommend you find a different warranty company as this has been a nightmare.

We paid Select Home Warranty 450.00. Our dishwasher quit working. They sent a repairman out and this was $45.00 for the visit. They sent us an email stating that the cost of the repairs were more than the depreciation value of the dishwasher (Maytag Quiet Air) and will contribute 100.00. We therefore have $65.00 to purchase a new dishwasher. I had a much better experience 2 years ago with American Home Shield.

I purchased my warranty in January, 2015. I called in May, 2015 because my 5 year old dishwasher wasn't draining - it stopped in the middle of the cycle - and they are not going to cover the repairs because there is food debris in the machine. Essentially, they are not going to cover our machine because we used it. At first, they tried to tell us that there was rust and corrosion in our machine. They demanded that we provide them with pictures of our machine, and would not approve any repairs. They like to cite their contract as evidence that they are following their policies, but their contract does not state that you can't use your equipment, and they will not be covering any repairs if it happens to stop working mid-cycle. The dishwasher broke in the course of normal wear and tear. They asked us to send receipts to prove when we purchased the machine, and then just kept making stuff up.
We have no rust and corrosion, I doubt that there was actually food debris, because we drained the dishwasher prior to the service and there was no food in the drainage tube. One of the buttons on the front panel is worn out, but still works, so the wear is completely cosmetic. They just simply don't want to fix anything. DO NOT GET SUCKERED by this company. A good warranty price means nothing if they DO NOTHING, which is how Select Home Warranty operates.

This was now Jan 2015. It cost 94 dollars. I sent the receipt along with a release form to SHW. It took three months to receive the 94 dollars. I cancelled my warranty with SHW in April 2015.

My most recent problem was with my air conditioner. There was a very long delay for them to respond to get the problem fixed so I paid for it myself and was told I would be reimbursed. I paid $ 2300 and they said their responsibility was only $100! I need to provide service records for the last 3 years which I could not locate. I had a similar problem with my pool pump. They paid 150 out of the $560 it cost to replace. Once they approved the 4150 payment, they withheld payment for over 5 months. They always seem to find some "fine print" that they use as an excuse to not cover.

I purchased a rehabbed 60 year old home approximately 2 months ago. 60 year old homes are obviously going to have some issues, so I knew I'd need a home warranty. Select came highly recommended and the reviews were great. We had a home inspection, so we knew that our air conditioner was old, but the rest of the inspection was fairly benign or the previous owner fixed our punch list. I purchased a 5 year plan at a cost of $2,000 and was "given" the 6th year of coverage as a bonus. So far, we had a pool problem: Not covered; roof leak: Not covered. I bought the top of the line plan because of the age of the house, but roof coverage is not included in that--so BEWARE--and ask about roof coverage.
Our thermostat stopped working and they covered that, but sent out the most unprofessional AC guy I've ever met. He made inappropriate remarks and jokes, took forever to change the thermostat and went on our roof and told the warranty company our AC unit was in desperate need of service. Unbeknownst to the AC guy and the warranty company, three weeks before that, we had an AC company we trust out to look at our unit and perform a service, so the Select serviceman was a liar. He spent more time pushing his $150 AC service that the warranty company doesn't cover than he did changing our thermostat. I've had other homes and other warranty companies in the past and wish I would have chosen one of those. I am so disappointed, considering the rave reviews I read about this company. It is easy to file a claim online, though, and they are responsive, calling back within hours 7 days a week.

After speaking to a rude, snarky "manager", I was directed to section 6.3.6 on the 3rd page of the 5 page warranty- here in very, very fine print that "A/C, cooling" refers to the unit on the primary entrance of the home.

SHW assigned B&B Plumbing Heating and Air to the diagnosis and repair of my AC. B&B Plumbing Heating and Air arrived on 4/6/15 and inspected my AC unit and relayed to SHW that the condenser and compressor needed to be replaced, which they estimated to cost $2,071.80 for parts and labor. SHW requested photos of my AC unit and maintenance records on 4/8/15. I sent 3 photos of the unit and two maintenance reports (one from Dec. 2013 and one from Aug. 2014) the next day.
SHW required me to send proof of payment for the maintenance on 4/10/15 which I provided the same day. SHW confirmed receipt of all materials and requested I go ahead and have the prescribed work done while they went over the received records. On 4/14/15 I expressed my frustration with the time it was taking SHW to affirm or deny my claim via email. SHW refused to affirm or deny the claim each of the 5 times I requested the claim status, and they repeatedly claimed they had not received maintenance records (SHW sent an email in receipt of the sent records on 4/10/15). Finally, I was referred to **, a Claims Review Manager, on 4/15/15. However, SHW refused to allow correspondence between Mr. ** and I through email and I was forced to speak to him via telephone.
Mr. ** told me on 4/15/15 that my maintenance records were insufficient which is why they could only offer a $100 towards the claim as courtesy; however, Mr. ** could not tell me WHY my maintenance records were insufficient. Mr. ** also said that there was mention of rust present on my evaporating coil on the maintenance records, which voided my warranty. However, the claim was for the condenser and compressor, not the evaporating coil. To appease Mr. **, I called the maintenance company I had been using on my AC unit (Aire Serv of Central SC) and confirmed that they are licensed to service any brand of AC or heating equipment and had them fax all records of my maintenance services.
Also, I removed the lid from my condenser/compressor unit and took detailed photographs which demonstrate that absolutely no rust is present on either entity requested to be replaced by SHW contractor (B&B Plumbing Heating and Air). On 4/17/15 I emailed all records faxed by my maintenance company and additional photos of my unit to Mr. **. He confirmed receipt of these documents later that day. I have requested an update of my claim status via email 3 times and 2 times via phone. He has not answered or responded. It has been over 3 weeks since the covered entity has been diagnosed and SHW refuses to affirm or deny the claim. SHW is practicing bad faith insurance.

In 30 years of home ownership, I have never encountered such an unethical and unapologetic company. I purchased a home warranty from Select Home Warranty in August of 2014 for a home I own and rent to tenants. I researched online and asked the salesperson every question I could think of to ensure I was choosing a reputable company that would fulfill their promises. I was told that there was a 30-day waiting period before the contract would take effect (and claims could be made), but no other conditions. I was assured that all the appliances/systems listed would be repaired or replaced with a comparable or better product. As a result, I added two additional items to be covered, and my total investment was $549 for my rental property. They also gave me 3 months additional coverage for "free". The outcome is FAR different than the promises made.
The contract I signed had tons of "fine print" which I perused. About 2.5 months into the contract, my tenant informed me that the washing machine was not operating properly. As directed, I emailed claims@selecthomewarranty.com, and days later I finally received a call that an appliance repair company would be out to repair it. Basically, after much conversation, I was informed that they washing machine repair was too expensive, so they would not cover it, and they advised replacement. Then I'm told that since it was within the first 3 months of the contract, the only thing they would do is provide a $150 credit toward replacement. I was STUNNED to say the least. At no time during conversations with the salesperson was I told there was a 3-month policy. They responded with some fine print item in the contract stating that this is the case.
I demanded a larger credit toward an almost $600 washing machine replacement. I then spoke to a "manager" named **, and he said he "understood" my frustration and would try to get me a larger credit. Later he said that he never promised that and that $150 was the best he could do. I finally agreed, signed a document, and was issued the credit. Fast forward a few months and my tenant notified me that the dishwasher was no longer working. So, once again, I emailed the claims department three times with no response. I finally called and they did then organize the same appliance repair company to go out. Once again, they said it was the motherboard, and they felt it was too costly of a repair, so refused to do it. They suggested replacement. Then I'm informed that they would ONLY CREDIT ME $100 - they would not replace the machine.
I was FURIOUS and told them I wanted to cancel this bogus contract and obtain a refund. I also asked what my refund amount would be, knowing full well that they are frauds, and would come up with some ridiculous amount. FOR A FULL MONTH and after several emails back and forth, I never received an explanation of a refund or any confirmation of a cancellation. Nor did I receive the $100 credit for the dishwasher, which cost me $460 to replace. Suddenly I see a $28 refund on my Discover Card. That started a whole other set of emails and calls from me. All communication from Select only indicated that they want speak with me and to call in. No names or extensions are given, or dollar amounts. After repeated requests for the General Manager's or President's name and phone number, both claims and customer service say they don't have a phone number or a name to give me.
Finally today I spoke to ** who claimed to be a "manager" and could only give me the name Alex Winters who is VP of Customer Service. He told me that he does not have a direct line. Apparently no one in charge at this company has a phone in there office. I find this hard to believe, and another example of their unethical operations. They said my cancellation was processed, so I forfeited my $100 credit, and that my initial contract amount of $549 was a "discounted" amount and by cancelling I forfeited my discount, so the total cost was $640, which is broken down to $53 per month. That 7 months of service (even though it wasn't in effect until 30 days later) equaled $371, plus my $150 credit issued for the washing machine (so actual payout from the plan actually go against your investment for their repair service), totaled $521.
That subtracted from my initial payment of $549 gave me a refund of $28. I asked to reinstate the contract since I was never informed of the refund amount and they said there was no way to do this. Obviously it is in their best interest for customers to cancel, because they can keep your money without continuing to provide the services they were hired to do. This company is a travesty. In all their sales and marketing, including their website, they infer that appliances are repaired or replaced. There is nothing that indicates there may be a devalued "credit" issued instead. Even the language in their contract is not clear. I strongly urge consumers to keep shopping when they come across SELECT HOME WARRANTY. It is a SCAM.

We were never informed that any work over $100 would require photos, etc. or that we would need to wait weeks for a refund. When I called to negate the "extended warranty" I signed up for a few weeks ago, instead of receiving a refund they billed me $470... Go figure! Would not recommend this company unless you plan on not having any claims.

This was the worst experience I've ever had with any sort of business in my life. They made promises when signing me up that they would "repair or replace" appliances in my home. However, that isn't the case. My dishwasher was deemed replaceable but instead of replacing it they gave me a cash settlement for the depreciated value of the dishwasher.... they wouldn't help to install the new one either. I became upset that they weren't following through with what I was promised. So instead of letting me talk to a supervisor they kept putting me on hold and leaving me there for extended periods. The office manager ** was extremely rude and disrespectful. He wouldn't let me speak and even though he knew I was upset and trying to explain what happened he kept talking over me.
I called and said I was disappointed and that I wanted someone from the cancellation department to call. Instead of having someone call me... they canceled my policy and charged me a cancellation fee without my knowledge. They did this after I submitted my receipt of purchase on a new dishwasher to get my "cash settlement" and told me they wouldn't be paying that anymore even though the claim was filed and approved before anything happened. Even though I already paid my deductible.

My review with Select Home Warranty is all 5 star. When I called them to report an ac not turning on they sent an ac guy very quick. The ac guy was on time and he came in a very professional truck. He got my ac back running fine. It's great to have this policy. I saved lots of money on the repair.

This is the most headache I have to deal with Select Home warranty company in my life. Have problem with my Oven, ice maker, faucets and jacuzzi and had to went through all the hassle and still didn't get it fix. For my Ice maker, I have purchased extra for this service and the fix cost $195 and they said they only pay for $65 and that all they can do. For the Oven, the door was broken and can't be close, they said it is not covered as the oven is still running. I asked them "if the oven is still running and the door is not close, how do you said the oven is functioning?" They're just being so rude and hung up on me and close my claim.
For my faucets, my double sink faucets are not able to turn. I called them and they send their contractor down. They said "the 4 faucets need to be replaced", didn't hear anything back from them. I called them back and they said go ahead and call my own contractor to get it fix and submit the invoice for them. I got my contractor fixed it and sent the invoice for them. They keep coming back and ask for pictures, I sent the pictures. Wait for few months, asked them again the status. They said they only cover for 1 faucet, $80 as everything only cover 1. So with the deductible they only pay $80-$45 deductible = $35 and that is the maximum they cover. So you paid extra $60 for plumbing beside $450/year and they only cover $35 for the faucets.
I tried to talked to them today and they said "there is nothing to discuss". I asked them "where in the contract said it is cover only 1 faucet?" and he said he doesn't have contract in front of him and hung up. Can you find any house that have just 1 faucet in this country? It is so unreasonable. And after 5 months, still didn't get the check back.
I purchased extra for the Whirlpool jet inside the home for addition $60 as I use it very often. 9 months after I purchased, the jet stop working and I called them. They sent their contractor over and the contractor said he doesn't do this job and took my $45 deductible. I called Select back and they send someone else which never call me. I tried to call and the contractor said they already told Select that they don't do this job. After few weeks, I called Select again and they said I can go ahead and call my own contractor to fix it and send the invoice over. I finally got a contractor can do the job and he fixed it for me. Sent the invoice to Select, they keep asking for more detail and I had to call the contractor again to send the detail of the fix. After 3 months of back and forth, they said they will not pay for this service and hung up on me again.
DO NOT buy the service from this company. They find all the reasons to reject the claim and you ended up paid more to get the fix as you have to paid for service call from their contractor, and will not get it fix from their contractor. Wish I didn't waste my money and time with this company and hope you see this and consider about a different company. Basically, I paid over $500 for this insurance company and ended up paid more on the service call. And they did't even cover anything for me and I have ended up paid more than $1000 on the total fixes.

We have had Select home warranty for one year and over the year we had started claims for 3 issues. First - pool pump, they could not find any service agent, so they asked us to find our own and send them a claim. Second - toilet fixing - they found someone and processed claim. Third - refrigerator claim. They could not find an agent and asked us to find our own. For first and third claims, as they suggested we found repair person, send them the invoices. It has been over 3 months - we have not heard about reimbursements. Overall, very unhappy with their business practices. We had American Home Shield in the past, and were very happy with their service.

They are not worth purchasing as they do not cover any main things. Do not waste your time on purchasing a home warranty as the most important things that break down are not covered by their warranty. My heat exchanger was damaged in my furnace and heat exchangers are not covered so I am responsible for the replacement of my furnace. My mainline sewer was clogged by roots and the snaking of that is not covered yet they would if the cause was unknown. They are a waste of money so you are better off finding contractors in Angie's list.

Purchased a new home warranty with the purchase of a new home. Called for claim on a thermostat. First they tried to get me to pay out of pocket for the entire job, and then submit it, when I should have a 45 co-pay. When I told them I was not willing to do that, they did get a contractor to come out. They wanted maintenance records and inspection reports. I produced the official home inspection report from 4 months ago and they are trying to say I need the entire history of regular maintenance to get this qualified under the warranty. They want pictures, and their contractor took the device. The inspection report said the devices were in good condition. Why would I have done maintenance if the inspection report had come back good?
This company takes your money and then does everything they can to avoid paying for what should be under the warranty. They claim it is my responsibility to take care of their contractor. I have had warranties in every new home I have ever purchased and I have never experienced what I am experiencing with this company. The customer service reps are rude. When I asked for a manager, I was told he was the only manager. When I asked who he reported to, he said it always changes, and refused to provide a name.
