Bruce ** did an excellent job working to answer our questions and provide the best price for our new Select Home Warranty. We would definitely recommend this site and this company to others looking for a home warranty policy. Bruce was very patient and understanding with our questions and concerns. Great, great, great service.

Have a good conversation with sales. Great deal from the sales. The sales explained all the policy items and the important things I need to pay attention to. Good policy to cover all the appliance we have at home. More important this policy covers the A/C cooling system and heat system that I have spent a lot of money to repair a couple years ago when I didn't have any home warrant insurance. I will recommend friends for this insurance.

Belinda was amazing - she got me a wonderful policy, explained everything, and contacted the title company and called me back - all in about 5-10 minutes. Just PHENOMENAL SERVICE :). Thank you SELECT HOME WARRANTY for making me smile :). I had contacted another company but they gave me the runaround. Belinda went above and beyond and simply ROCKS!!! The policy price was excellent, and it was perfect for our house. I would recommend them to everyone.

Isaiah was my representative and he delivered great service. He was pleasant and quite knowledgeable about the service. He took the time to go over the entire process to include what is included in the plan, and he also shared the different type of promotions Select Home Warranty is running for the month. Isaiah went on as to provide a better plan for me after I told him what my selection was. I believe he is a very good sales representative for the company.

I called with many, many questions and I was a bit skeptical of signing up for a home warranty. My previous policy had a ridiculous deductible and repair wait times were unacceptable. Zachery was very patient in answering my many questions. He assured me that they have multiple contractors in my area and also informed me that if I have a ‘preferred’ repairman, they can be used, with this policy, as long as they are licensed. This had me sold. This policy seems like a great value with low monthly payments and low deductibles. Zachery was very knowledgeable and after speaking with him, I am confident that choosing Select Home Warranty was the best decision.

Sam was very friendly and helpful in getting me set up with my new home warranty. I am thrilled about the available discounts and locking in my price for the next six years. Hopefully I won't need to make too many service calls, but I am glad that I was able to get a lower fee of 45 dollars by signing up for the 6 year warranty. Thank you very much! We look forward to your help in maintaining our home.

Submitted claim for repairs covered under electrical. No response for 2 weeks. Multiple attempts to contact claim reviewer at the extension given by the claim representative.

I had a 3 years warranty coverage. On June 13th I file a claim for my AC not working, first tech assigned never answer my calls (for two days) to get an appointment. Then I called SHW. Got assigned a second tech, went home the next day, send his diagnosis to SHW. Until the 18th they asked me for pictures of the unit and maintenance records, (which I didn't have) so I send the pictures and an explanation for the records, received an email stating (copy paste of actual email) "We have received your pictures and will be sure to review it with the diagnosis, please allow us at least 24 business hours and we will update you shortly on how to proceed with your claim."
I received No answer at all. Call back 2 days after and I was told my claim was still under review. INCREDIBLE. From the 13th to the 21st and no resolution, (TEMP inside my home was 91ºF); after telling them I was going to cancel my contract with them I was told that they will cover the repair ONLY for up to $150.00 dollars (because no Maintenance records were provided).
I CANCEL my contract with them, (I paid $975 dollars for three years, cancelled before the first year, so I was expecting to get at least $600 dollars refund) I received a call of a person telling me he was the supervisor for the billing department, trying to convince me of not to cancel. After letting him know I was firm on my decision, I was told that I will only get a refund of an amount of approx. $400 dollars, stating that first year of coverage would be charged at the actual price of the policy (more than $500 dollars a year), which I think is not fair. What would happen if I wanted to cancel during the last year, would I end up paying???

Fred was very knowledgeable about Select Home Warranty and a very good salesperson. He offered me an offer that I couldn't refuse. The total amount was less than the original quote and the term longer, with two months free. The amount of the service call fee was also lowered and that is always helpful since there is always going to be problems in an older home. Yes, I spent more per month than I planned but I saved quite a bit in the long run. Fred was also friendly and understanding of what I was trying to accomplish. I feel like I can call Fred anytime if I have an issue and he will make it right.

I received a call from Select Sales Rep, David. He contacted me to follow-up with a quote request I completed online. David was professional, thorough and polite. He described the services and payments available to me as a new customer. In addition, I had reservations in signing up due to the 30-day waiting period that he was able to remove. I am pleased with this experience and I look forward to being a long-lasting and happy customer.

Very pleased with Mark when placing order over the phone. He answered all the questions I had. I did not know how the warranty program worked and he explained it to me.

He explained that there is a seventy five dollar deductible that needed to be paid upfront.

Fair Pricing for what I need. Salesman was very knowledgeable. After research, seems direction that I want to head to cover my home - our home is 16 years old so I want to make sure major systems are covered.

Customer service agent was very good at selling and negotiating the price for me. He gave me best price for my 2 houses and was not selling anything extra. He matched the quote with a competitor and I could even have the same kind of coverage for my bigger home which I pay almost double with Sears Home Warranty. I have not given coverage a 5 star yet since I don't have any experience of using this home warranty.

I contacted Select Home Warranty regarding a policy. The online rep indicated if I called today, I could get $200 off my policy. When the online order would not let me add the "200OFF" code, I called the toll free number. I spoke with Mark **. Mark was very helpful. He found my online order and assisted me with securing the $200 discount. However, in continuing our conversation, he shared with me other promotions that were available that would, ultimately, result in the reducing the yearly cost of a home warranty plan. After speaking with Mark, I agreed to accept the 5-year policy that includes a free 12 months of coverage, as well as free roof leak protection. I appreciate the professionalism Mark exhibited during our call. Hopefully, we won't need these services, but we now have peace of mind should we need to use them. Thank you...

Extremely unhappy that I have been unable to even schedule a service call after one week of a broken washer. The first service company I was referred to was out of state - over 2.5 hours away. The second company refused to accept the job because they were "too busy" even though I got an e-mail confirmation that they had accepted it. Now I am told to find my own service company, pay up front and wait for up to 30 days to get reimbursed. To top it all off, I have to have a technician come out and give an estimate, then wait 24 hours for authorization dept. to review, THEN have the technician come back out again! This is the first time I have ever had to place a claim, and I am so upset I am going to look in to cancelling my 3 year contract.

Our experience was ok but could have been quicker with response time. Customer service could have been better. The tech was very informative and nice and he was the best part of whole experience.

I don't write reviews, so wish I could write a good one. Select Home Warranty sent this company out to check out A/C unit. Repairman said it would take $1200 to fix but suggested not waste money based on the age of the unit. New unit $3000. When I called the warranty company they said they could not honor warranty because unit had not been properly serviced. It was low on freon and the coil was dirty. When I realized they weren't going to pay I called a local company I'd used before. For $95 I was told the freon was full, the coil was less than a year old. An overflow value had gotten some debris in it and shut down the unit. And by the way the service man said he would come back for $250 cash after hours. As a lifelong business owner this stuff just makes me sad.

He was also able to accommodate the service date start for me. Great communication skills. I am sure Select Home Warranty will offer similar service level when there is a claim.

Called to see if I could get a better price compared to another Home Warranty company I had been using. The representative was helpful and gave me a price that was much more affordable than what I had been paying. He went through all the options and quoted me accurate prices in order to make sure I had a full understanding before deciding on whether or not to purchase the plan. I'm currently unable to provide an opinion on service yet as I just recently purchased the plan.

Thank you for being so quick and easy to work with when starting our home warranty, I’m glad to have the safety net In case anything happens. It was a good experience and I have no complaints especially for the price for a years warranty coverage.

I was a bit hesitant to try out Select Home Warranty but after speaking with David ** I am now a new customer. David took the time to explain everything in full detail to me and ensure that I was comfortable with choosing Select as my new home warranty. My previous warranty company made it clear that I either renew or I don’t and that was that. It was refreshing to deal with David, who wasn’t pushy and extremely patient with all of my questions and concerns. I hope that any future dealings with Select will be just as great.

They will not cover anything and will require you to jump through hoops just to cover anything. Even when you provide them with documentation. I have only owned the home for 3 YR and have serviced every item in the home. But still they decided that I have not provided enough service records and only offered $150 to replace my AC unit. The Coils were replaced and the refrigerant was filled and serviced as I have submitted the paperwork that the work was done by a contractor which was certified. Yet they are not covering the repair and only offered the 150. Which is not even close to the amount to cover the cost.
Updated on 07/09/2018: Several emails have been sent in regards to the coverage that I have. No contractors will work with these folks and they refuse to pay any claim. After contacting the contractor which refused to work with Select Home Warranty they stated to me that they will not come out. I then contacted them back and they refused to help me. "Your request for service #** has been assigned to At Home Services, an authorized Select Home Warranty service technician. Please allow up to 12 hours for the contractor to reach out to you."

Repairman stated heater needed to be replaced in my dryer. It is a covered part per contract section 6.2.6. He said he had the part in his truck, but needed to get approval from Select. I asked if he could call Select from my house for the approval. He said no. Next day I call Select, they still had not heard from repairman, but stated he could have called from the house for approval. I asked Select to expedite the claim. I asked if they could call the contractor. After 20 minutes on hold Select said the contractor sent an email, but they did not receive it yet. I asked Select if they asked the repairman for the diagnosis. They did not. I asked for a Supervisor. After another long wait a Supervisor came on the line. She said she needs the diagnosis for repair.
I asked if the repairmen you send out know your company policies - that they can call and expedite an approval especially when they have the covered part? Select should have companies that know Select's procedures and contract - it is not a very long contract to see if an item is covered. Why make two trips and leave a customer without a working appliance? It is inefficiency at its best!!!! I spent about 40 minutes on the phone in addition trying to straighten this out. The Supervisor did reach out to the contractor after I had to ask her to, but did not get the diagnosis, just to verify that he sent an email in. I asked for the name of the President of the company and just then the email came through and the Supervisor received approval. Circuitous process, but the Supervisor finally came through with an approval code. It shouldn't be this hard to get a covered repair.

Will reply very promptly when you are wanting to get policy information about a new policy. However, they can't even process the information on the policy correctly and charged more than was advertised. BE CAREFUL of the 2 "FREE" months they include. They use those against you if you cancel your policy because it makes their monthly pro-rated amounts higher, that they get to keep from you. The first time we tried to use the policy after 2 months, our A/C was inoperable and needed a new coil. While the repair guy was there waiting to do the work, they told us on the phone that they couldn't provide authorization and needed 48 hours to think about it. Seriously?
So, the repair guy left and we were without A/C in 90 degree plus temperatures for a week. The minute the repair guy put everything back together and left, they e-mailed me and said they needed pictures and maintenance records. I didn't have access to pictures of the inside of the unit any longer and they knew it. So much for them having everything they needed from me! Then, everything was excluded in fine print, from being covered. They wouldn't even cover the service co-pay.
We ended up cancelling immediately and had to wait over a month to get the refund check. It "got returned in the mail to them", etc. One more excuse after another. Then, the clincher was the refund check for the $399.99 we paid them, was ONLY $241.66. They kept a $75 cancellation fee which is understandable, but then they pro-rated the months we had it, and used the FREE PROMO MONTHS they gave us, to make their pro-rated amounts higher so they could keep more. DO NOT USE! They are not helpful, honest, available when YOU NEED THEM, and they are all foreign/outsourced and VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

Third claim was my pool pump and that is a long drawn out story in itself as they told me to hire my own contractor and after doing so, they said it wasn't covered. Three strikes and you are out. So!

If you do, when you try to cancel they will prolong it with all kinds of excuses promising you that they see where they are at fault and will call you back and give you their extension. News flash!

Coverage includes all of the most important items in the home like roof, plumbing and electrical systems and all appliances. I bought the warranty for the person who is purchasing my house for sale, and they will really rest easier knowing everything is covered in case of emergency.

Easy to sign up, reasonable prices. I have had a warranty through another company for years, but due to price increases, Select offered a better value for the money. Coverage appear to be very similar. Only difference is the geothermal unit is not covered but that is still covered under the manufacturer warranty. We have multiple properties and the discount to cover all was very good. It makes it easy to maintain then since we don't have to worry about the mechanical parts.

I thought all to be very courteous, answered all my questions. I am a realtor and ordered this for a client I sold a home to and will use you for all my clients. I will also tell other agents about you. As we have not had to have a claim so far 5 stars. The price was great. Was wondering if you have any pamphlets I could give out to my clients and fellow realtors.

My representative Abraham was very professional and informative. He answered all questions asked. Being a senior citizen you want honesty from any reps or companies that you deal with, and I feel comfortable by contacting your company because of the great customer service. I have over the years being in my home and through many weather related incidences need that extra coverage for my peace of mind. I am hoping that by not having to go to the yellow pages I will be taken care of as promised.

The agent was very helpful and explained coverage effectively, along with providing additional rebates. With the rebate offers and extended service option, the service appears to be significantly cheaper than other warranty providers. The service is transferable if you sell your house, you can carry coverage to a new residence, or you can cancel and receive a prorated refund. I haven't had to use the warranty service yet, so I can't provide information regarding service requests execution or demonstrated coverage.

Confident sales rep about the offered products and was straight to the point, which I liked. Answered all my questions very quickly. If the coverage is as he described such as response within a 8 hour timeframe from service call I'm sure I will be pleased with the company and if the company corrects the issue on the first time around instead of putting "band aids" on the issues. I also like how it was highlighted that I could cancel at any time I was not satisfied and could receive a refund on the remaining of the policy.

Richard was great at outlining my options for renewal and the different rates. He made it quick, clear and painless as to the coverage I was getting, the service fees and the special promotions available to make an informed decision that fit within my budget and needs. Select is one of the few home warranty companies that will cover sprinkler systems - an important coverage area for me, and offered a very competitive rate. I've been a client of theirs for the past year and had relatively good response time and coverage levels, as compared to other home warranty companies.

Isaac went through several options... and offered various ways I could save money on the different options. Advised me of what costs could be... what others were charging and how I might be able to save additional dollars with the different programs that Select Home Warranty had to offer. I appreciated him taking time to explain what was and is available and the best way to best deal for what I needed. I can cancel after 30 days if I decide later that I do not want the coverage that I have agreed to and I also get 6 months free if I sign up for a three year program.

I kept checking with SHW on Monday with the hope that it could rush the process. SHW said they did not get the codes from technician, so they contacted the technician to get the code. I had to make sure that SHW had what was needed. I called SHW every 3-4 hrs to follow up. They said the same thing, "Please wait for 48 hrs. It's under review by our manager of authorization dept."
After 48 hrs, I called Wednesday morning, SHW said they didn't have the code from the technician!!! What the heck was that? They kept saying "It's under review. And now they just didn't have the code." I had to ask SHW to call the technician again and let him provide the codes while I was holding the line. I bet the technician was upset with this as well.
Then, SHW told me to WAIT for another 24 hrs since they just received the codes. But they would escalate the case since it had been long after the first report about the issue last Friday. I was really really mad at this. I asked to speak to a manager of that authorization dept or someone who could give me a better solution. They said all I could do was to write an email to that authorization dept or they could have someone call me. I told them, have someone call me. I wanted to find out how to cancel my plan. I am very unhappy with the service. I signed a 2-year plan and I still have 1 more year left.
Guess what! No one from SHW called. I am now hoping that my issue will get resolved very very soon. I bought the plan to have "a piece of mind", but what I get from this is I am having is a pressure from my tenant and bad services from SHW. I know SHW trying to avoid paying for the work. So they try to make it so hard and difficult to get the issue fixed. This is the first time I ever reviewed anything. I hope this can help anyone who is thinking about getting a home warranty plan make a right decision. I wasted my $500 on having one. I would give a million negative stars if I could.

Abraham ** your Senior Account Representative was very professional in handling my request for a quote, providing additional guidance on the type of warranty that fits my needs and follow through with emails and phones calls. Excellent employee. Additionally, when another representative called to address my request for a quote, he was very professional when I informed him I had already spoken to Abraham. He immediately transferred my call. I say this because I was once in sales and everyone wants new business. This individual is a team player and if you send me his name I will recommend him and Abraham to family and friends. Splitting the new business, so everyone makes their numbers.

I had been shopping for a home warranty for some time. I had spoken with multiple other companies. I found the service representatives rude at other companies. I found Alan at Select Home Warranty who was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. I am still in my waiting period before I can make a claim and have not had a need to make a claim so I cannot speak to how well that process works. I can speak to the purchase process which was very smooth. Alan was great!

I recently created an account and purchased a warranty plan from Select Home Warranty. Mark ** did a great job explaining the various options and incentives to help find a warranty plan that fit my needs. I switched to Select Home Warranty from another provider. I appreciate the ability to customize the options on my plan. I took advantage of the roof and sprinkler system add-ons, which are not offered by some providers. I would recommend Select Home Warranty to others, and wish I'd found them sooner.

Warranty do not cover Freon leaks. Took a week to deny my claim. I accepted most of the blame for not fully reading the contract but I still believe it could have been handled quicker. Legally y’all did everything to the letter but overall my experience is negative. My covered appliance was not covered. How can I be happy about that. The only other thing I discovered is if I didn’t have three years of maintenance records everything was voided. This is something that should have been included with the sales pitch. I paid for a full year so I feel trapped. If I was on a month to month I not sure I would remain a customer.

They market to first-time home buyers, new homeowners, and real estate agents but all they're doing is taking your premium and they don't cover anything in the claims besides the minimum of $150. They need you to provide three years of receipts of service for anything to be replaced or fixed. How can you provide receipts when you've only lived in the house for 7 months? That's how they can try to get away with it because of the three years period you don't see on the small print. What a scam. Do not buy a warranty from them.

Select Home Warranty approved a new AC motor for our house, told the maintenance guy to go ahead and change it, and gave me the amount of reimbursement on the phone (it was the cost of motor minus $60 out of pocket). After we paid for it we were informed that they only covered $150. Emailed and called them many times, got transferred around and explained the situation countless times. They finally apologized for misinforming us but said they couldn't do anything. We are out of $700 for a decision that they have made for us. You would think purchasing a home warranty makes life easier, but that's not the case with Select Home Warranty at all.

I purchased SELECT HOME WARRANTY about a year ago & this is the first time I use after they charge me $41.66 monthly charges for the last 12 months. if you check their web page, they have 3 levels. Bronze Care - which don't cover a lot - lowest level, Gold Care - which is medium and their best one top of the line they called. Platinum Care - they stated they will cover even washer & dryer clothes.
So May, 31, 2018 I place a phone call and stated my washer & dryer is not working, they said I have to pay $100 deductible, they send their repairman, who stated, it's not repairable. They must be replace, and he requested $200 deductible - which I paid, said he will return & replace both washer & dryer. 8 days later SELECT HOME WARRANTY send email stating they will only reimburse $125, however the cost to replace washer & dryer is about $1500 - my question is this you should change your name to "we select the price we pay home warranty" or "10% DISCOUNT WARRANTY".
In my opinion, this is deceptive advertising, also known as false advertising or misleading, or unproven information to advertise products to consumers and may result in the consumer suffering a financial loss, or another form of damage to the consumer. I wasted over 8 hours on the phone for 8 days, over 10 emails. There are several types of false and misleading advertising tactics used by companies to lure in unsuspecting consumers. Some of these tactics include - Bait & Switch Advertising & Deceptive Form Contracts, this is wrong, deceptive form contracts have ambiguous promises or fine print in their contracts that are usually overlooked or misunderstood.
A false advertisement can further be classified as deceptive if the advertiser deliberately misleads the consumer, as opposed to making an honest mistake. Unethical advertising, on the other hand, will often distort or misrepresent its product and well as seek secretive means of cajoling or influencing its target audience. And Unethical marketing activities, in contrast, can destroy your business's reputation and possibly lead to legal troubles. this is confusing, misleading, or blatantly untrue statements when promoting a product.

After considering several home warranty options, I chose Select Home Warranty. Adam called to offer me a lower deductible and discount on a multi-year plan. There seemed to be little risk, since I am able to get a pro-rated refund if I am unhappy with the company. The items covered under this warranty are more extensive than competing companies - there is even a free roof leak coverage included. There are optional coverages you can add for items such as swimming pools, well pumps and sprinkler systems. Many other companies don't offer those optional coverages.

The rep made an offer I couldn't refuse he was helpful but I hope when I need to call for a repair that it goes smooth as this phone call. Repairs are costly so I decided to look for a home warranty if I ever need a repair. Hopefully this warranty will offset some of my cost. Not sure if this will or not. I'm going to try them on a month to month basis to see if I like the service's first. If in the future if I need a repair then I can decide if this is for me. I may commit to a longer contract then.

Incorrect policy Start and End date was used on new policy which I purchased on May 2018. Instead of adding 3 years 6 months to last date of previously purchased policy expiry date, Policy was extended from last year Start date, which is completely wrong.

I called back in June (6 months later) to check the status and one rep told me my claim was not covered, then one rep told me I was approved for $45 dollars (note: I had a roof leak, wtf), and finally when I decided to cancel the rep told me there was a cancellation charge.
