The service rep Elliott Jones that I talked with really helped me understand the policy and the benefits of a longer term relationship with Select Home Warranty.

I purchased a 3 year policy in Apr 2020. My first claims open in May 2021 about a cloth dryer. I was told parts will be ordered and delivered on June 15. On June 13, I was informed parts are delayed and won't be in till end of June or beginning of July. Yesterday (June 30), I get a call and was informed parts they ordered was wrong. Meanwhile they don't know what part to order, therefore, a second on site diagnose is needed and they booked us again for next Tuesday 1-5pm. This is already sounds ridiculous enough. After almost 2 months wait, we are back to where we started and I hope there is not another trade call fee for this second visit. My second claim is opened on June 18 about AC. Same house. Tenant mentioned AC does not producing cold air. It is over 100 degrees daily in CA. Select's AC partner company was out there on 22nd and quoted about $500 to fix it on that visit. Select Home Warranty declined their request, send them home and told me on the 24th that ' parts are being ordered and will be delivered in 3-5 business day'. On June 29, which is the 5th business, of cause, no parts come. I called, asking for a tracking# , no one can provide. I ask when parts will be in. no one knows. I asked when this issue will be solved, no one knows. I called the AC company directly and find out they have the parts and they could have fixed it right then. I called more than 5 times talk to different rep in your company, asking for approval of the $500 quote so the AC company can come out anytime do the work. No one has the power to authorize it. I ask for someone who has the power, no one would forward my request. The last person I talked with is Ron, supposedly he is a higher rank of customer service. He told me yesterday he will take care of it (June 30) and will get back to me within the same day. But that, again, turns out to be another lie. No call, no follow up, nothing back. I called his extension, left voicemail, I called him again, both times the phone just goes to voicemail directly. The third time I was able to talk to him, but he tells me information that I already knew: 'the parts are being ordered, please wait for the parts to come'. So I trusted him yesterday, thinking he will take of it, turns out that's another trick this company plays just to push me off the table one more day... Now based on my experience with the dryer parts, I figured out the ' ordering part lead to an endless waiting for part to come yet part never will come, and when dates approaching, someone will say parts ordered were wrong now we need reorder so we go back to the starting point ' is a great cycle of avoid taking care of the issue. After repeating the 'ordering part' trick to the same client - me, I started to see their practice pattern is about how to push the matter into a infinite wait without clearly stating: we are just not gona do it. Till today, Select Home Warranty is stil playing the 'wait for part' game, even their own AC partner has the part and could fix it anytime. Honestly if the part finally come in December, who is gona need AC then anyways. Ron told me today that the parts will come tomorrow. I asked for a tracking#, again, he doesn't have it. I asked if you don't even have a tracking#, how you know the parts will come tomorrow. He said I trust my college who told me so. ok, that's what I was told on the 24th, But when time pass by, fact proves it is just a lie on top of another lie. I recall once trying to get a quote on their website, and more than 10 different sales person called me day after day, trying to sell me a policy. How about, get rid off the 9 out of 10 sales person, use the funds and staff to keep promises, repair whenever needed in a timely manner, to avoid lies and fraud, to build a reputation? I assert everything I type here is true and based on facts of what has happened.

The sales representative completely misrepresented what was in the contract. He said the appliances will be replaced for free and all I had to pay was the service fee. I have been with them for over a year with no previous claims. Now my garbage disposal need to be replaced and they're only going to pay for one based on the depreciated value of the disposal, which I have to shop and pay for then be reimbursed and I also have to pay for the installation because apparently it is not covered. The entire premise of a home warranty is so one doesn't have to come out of pocket to pay the expenses other than the service fee. Select Home Warranty has failed to meet these expectations. Do not trust what they tell you, read your contract or you will be screwed. I'm cancelling my warranty and will not recommend then to anyone. Why have them if I have to do all the work to replace my garbage disposal?

Overall, it is a sham. They sell memberships and follow up with delay tactics to try to keep you from canceling... Without every really providing much service. I recently bought a 3 1/2 year “platinum” warranty to cover 7 homes and rentals. The sales person lied to me to get interested in buying the contracts. He told me — with a “platinum package” all repairs will be done by a professional tech or items would be replaced, up to $500 per appliance or $5,000 per major component. So far (6 months) they have denied 2 claims, repaired and completed one claim, and we have a half dozen others that are not complete. 1 item broke down within the first 30 days. You pay for the service. You have service. That first month counts as part of your contract. You just can’t ask for them to do anything. Which means, for example, if you buy a year contract, you only have an 11-month contract, because the first month is not usable even though they bill you for it. I have 3 tenants who have been waiting 6 months for repairs. If you can get a tech they pick to show up, they do not know what they are doing. Every single one of them, from several different companies, have shown up with wrong parts, not enough parts, not enough tools, not on time or not at all and never called. This has happened a dozen times between all the homes. After 12 appointments at two different homes, techs show up with the wrong parts twice, and the machines still aren’t fixed at either home. One was watching YouTube videos to repair a washer. The warranty company decided to replace a washer, but someone who knew what they were doing could probably fix it. I am expecting $500 and a replacement. Now I find I have to go shop for the washer, I have to pay for installation and I have it delivered. AND - Select Home Warranty is only going to pay for what THEY feel the old, dead machine is worth, which was $200… after I paid $60 for service call on a tech who watches YouTube as a training guide. The cheapest clothes washer is $600 and I got a total of $140 to replace a machine which is probably fixable. At another house, a ceiling fan went out. Supposed to be covered. Was told they aren’t fixing it and I have to do all the work to replace the fan and send in the receipt to get up to $100 - not $500. That was in December and I still have not seen that check. Every single time I need a repair done, the contractor or the warranty company calls the wrong person. It does not matter who you tell them who to call, they get it wrong EVERY time. I have been on the phone with two different “managers,” both of which swear this experience is not normal and they are going to look into it and call me back. No one ever follows up or calls back. I asked several times about canceling and getting a refund and they keep changing the subject, saying they are going to help me. I could not get a straight answer out of these “managers” about why I was told the appliances would be replaced by them and I would get up to $500… And no one will answer the question. They just dance around it, saying they will try to get me approved for more, which still has not happened.

BEWARE The following is a condensed list of what Select Home Warranty (SHW) contract and brochure states as it related to my claims. All of what is below is verbatim (minus notes I provide from my experience) from the contract they provided to me. It should be noted, I bought an older home, and upon contacting SHW, I was Promised that all my older appliances, HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing etc. systems would be Fully Covered. If you like having to wait days, or in one of my claims, over a month, for repairs, and being lied to constantly, choose this company. (BEWARE. BEWARE. BEWARE.) “We assign a local repair professional With the industry's largest service contractor network, you never have to guess who to call for repairs – we do it for you”. (This is a LIE. On several occasions I have submitted a claim, and had to wait for their response, only to be advised to call them. Upon calling, I was advised they could not find a local repairman, and to find my own. They prolong your repairs with emails, run arounds, and lies.) “Your covered item is repaired or replaced Simple as that. Get back to your life without the worry of what breakdown may be on the horizon. Please review your contract carefully for limitations and exclusions.” (They have Never replaced any appliance or system for me. They have only allowed repairs, and they have Never paid for any repair over $250.) (This is my contract plan, which is the most expensive and longest period covered that they offer.) “Amount/Payment $1,750.00. Subtotal $1,750.00. Sales Tax $0.00 Total Price $1,750.00. Service Call Fee $45.00. Coverage Plan - Platinum Care Type of Home Single Family Size of Home Months Free Under 5000 Square Feet. 6 Months Notes Includes: Plumbing Stoppage:  Plumbing System:  Dishwasher:  Clothes Washer:  Refrigerator:  Clothes Dryer:  Heating System:  Stove/Oven:  Ductwork:  Water Heater:  Microwave Oven(Built In):  Garage Door Opener:  Garbage Disposal:  Cooktop:  A/C Cooling:  Electrical System:  Ceiling Fan:  Optional Coverage Selected: - Roof Leak” _________________________________________________________________ “ • My home system and appliances are old. Does that matter to Select? No, the age of a home or its systems and appliances does not matter to Select. We cover items that are in good working condition at the time you purchase the plan and properly maintained. Plus, Select covers all makes and models of appliances and systems. • Is there a limit to the number of repairs Select covers? No, Select Home Warranty allows an unlimited number of covered repairs.” (This is a LIE. I had 2 separate plumbing issues and submitted claims. After the second one, I was advised that they will only cover $300 or less each year. I could never find this anywhere in the contract other than where it says repair coverage determined by SHW. So They determine if and how much they will cover, and not specified in the contract.) “Systems Covered. This agreement covers the following systems: 6.3.1. Plumbing System. This Agreement covers the following plumbing system components: (i) line leaks in water, drain, waste or vent lines not caused by damage resulting from freezing or from roots; (ii) line breaks in water, drain, waste or vent lines not caused by damage resulting from freezing or from roots; (iii)toilet bowls; (iv) toilet tanks; (v) toilet flushing mechanisms; (vi) angle stops; (vii) risers; 6.3.3. Heating System. This Agreement covers ALL module, components and parts of the heating system necessary to the functionality of the heating system. This Agreement covers the primary heating system of the covered home. (i) Condensor Fan motors; (ii) compressors; (iii) condensers; and (iv)thermostats (v)Capacitors (vi)relays (vii)Contactors (viii)pressure switch (ix)thermistor (x) cut in switches (xi) transformers (xii) inducer motors (xiii) defrost boards (xiv) Blower motors Excluded: solar heating systems or zone systems or wall units or the components thereof, (i) air cleaners; (ii) humidifiers;(iii) flues; (iv) coils; (v) heat exchanger;(vi) geothermal heating/cooling units; 6.3.4. Electrical. This Agreement covers the following electrical system components: (i) wiring; (ii) service panels; (iii) subpanels (iv) switches; (iv) breakers; (v) outlets; (vi) junction boxes; (vii) ground fault interrupters; This Agreement does not cover damage to the electrical system caused by flood, fire, water, rust. This Agreement does NOT cover the following list of modules, components and parts relating to the electrical system: (i) fixtures; (ii) inadequate wiring capacity; (iii) attic/exhaust fans; (iv) damage caused by a power surge; (v) damage caused by a power failure(vi)wire tracing;” (This is a LIE. I had my electrical control panel burn out and needed the whole thing replaced, as well as breakers. All of which is mentioned as Covered above. The total cost to replace was $5,700. They stated they would only pay $250……Yes, that’s right only $250.) “6.4.4. Well Pump. This Agreement covers all components of well pump, provided the well is the primary water source to the covered home. Excluded: (i)holding and storage tanks; (ii) piping or electrical lines (iii) booster pumps;” (This is a LIE. I contacted them and advised this was my only source of water for my residence, and they stated this would be a separate option that I’d have to pay in addition to my 5 year plan.) “8. Select's Option. Select shall have the sole and exclusive option to: i. Select the Independent service technician to perform repair and/or replacement services; ii. In the event a covered system or appliance is deemed irreparable or it is not cost effective to repair, Select may replace the system or appliance with a system or appliance of like capacity, the price of which shall not exceed the depreciated value of the system or appliance being replaced; 9. Exclusions to Coverage. 9.1. Exclusions Generally. The following is a list of systems and/or appliances that are NOT covered by this Agreement. In the event this paragraph conflicts with any other provisions in this Agreement, this paragraph shall be controlling. 9.1.2. This Agreement does not cover any systems or appliances that have had previous repair or that require repair as a result of improper installation, previous repair, damage caused by any construction activity, improper wiring, inadequate or lack of capacity, power failures, power surges, overloads, missing parts, failure to properly maintain, failure to properly clean, neglect, misuse, corrosion, rust, sediment and any modification to the system or appliance. You are responsible for providing annual maintenance and cleaning by a licensed technician on covered items to ensure continued coverage on such items. Select reserves the right to request prior years (3) maintenance records and/or pictures, without proper maintenance records and pictures the maximum payout on any system/appliance is upto $150.00. For example: heating and a/c systems require periodic cleaning and/or replacement of filters and cleaning of evaporator and condenser coils. Water heaters require periodic flushing. This policy covers mechanical breakdowns, it does not cover shelves, door handles, doors, hinges, knobs and buttons, door seals, freon, damage caused by freon leak, displays, latches, timers, leveling equipment, clogged drains or lines, cosmetic issues, gaskets, leak searches, lights, noise, refrigerants, valves, dispensers,installation, electrical failures, upgrades. 10. Select's Liability. 10.1. Dimensions, Brand and Color, Limits. Select will not be responsible for matching a system or appliances color, brand, or dimensions and only is responsible for repairing and/or replacing systems or appliances of similar capacity and efficiency. The following guidelines will be implemented to provide a repair/replacement allowance. For heating or cooling equipment (hvac),the repair/replacement allowance is $2000. For appliances, plumbing and electrical(non-heating or cooling) the repair/replacement allowance is $500. For additional coverage options the repair/replacement allowance is $400. If Freon coverage is selected as an option the limit is $200.Furthermore you agree that during the first 30 days of coverage, no coverage will be provided for replacement of entire systems or appliances of Evaporator Coils, condenser coils. Compressors, control boards, motors of any kind.” Cancelation: “iv. Upon mutual agreement between You and Select. In the event Select agrees to allow You to cancel after the thirtieth day, the You shall be entitled to a pro rata refund of payments made regarding Your home warranty coverage for the remaining term, less an administrative fee and any service costs incurred by Select. 13.2. Cancellation by You. After the Free Look period, you may receive a refund pro-rated at the non-discounted annual plan cost. A $25 administrative fee will be charged and any service costs incurred by Select Home Warranty.” (This is a LIE. I called to cancel, and they stated my contract listed cancellation at $75, minus pro-rated amount, THEN stated that they also subtracted Any payments they made to repairs I’d incurred since having the policy, therefore I would Not receive Any money back if I cancelled. So they suggested I keep the plan, and if I did, they would give me one free call out fee {a whopping $45}.) “15. Arbitration. Any disputes resulting from this Agreement or any dispute resulting to Select's home warranty service shall be construed and enforced under the laws of the State of New Jersey.”

I called them about an electrical problem and was sent a message about 10 days later and told I would have to find my own electrician to do the work and get reimbursed. I was given a maximum amount of $100. which is about what it takes to get an electrician to come to your house. When i purchased my warranty the salesman represented the company as being able to repair or replace my broken appliance and never mentioned a depreciation of value. Admittedly this is partially my fault for not reading the contract in full. When I called to question these issues the representative was very friendly and did his best to appease me. However, I feel I was mislead on what they could do for me. I would not recommend this company to anyone. The salesmen tell you whatever they can to sell the plan and then you end up paying almost the whole thing anyway and have to get your own contractor so they are pretty useless.

I submitted a claim for my dishwasher not releasing the water. It has been 3 months and 6 days without a dishwasher. The red tape and sending a company 1 1/2 hours away is ridiculous. I submitted initial claim Feb. 3rd, 2021, took 3 weeks for a tech to come to assess the problem, another 3 weeks to return with a part. Still did not work, another 3 weeks to return due to needing approval from SHW and the middle man that provides the parts, National Services Alliance. This tech from another fly-by-night company still 11/2 hours away simply looked at the problem and said he needed another part. 1 month later another tech arrives but this time without the right part which he needed to return the wrong part and get approval to order a different motor. Still waiting. Do not use this company.

I have been with this company Select Home Warranty since 2018 and have never had a satisfying claim with them. Every time I have made a claim I get so exhausted with the staff that I have had to have get the problem fixed myself. The last claim I filed with them was on my dryer and once they came out they depreciated by dryer down to 175.00 and was told I could get a used dryer but I had to pay for it first to get reimbursed. I made a claim on my dishwasher and was told I had to buy one first to get reimbursed for up to 175.00 and the replacement cost $99. I called company before my next bill was due to inform them that the debit card they were taking payments from had been compromised and I had to get another sent to me within 7 to 10 business days. I received more calls about when I was going to pay my bill and none for the reimbursement of the $99. I feel that this company is a fraud and takes money from their customers instead of helping them with problems they call about with issues in your home of items that suppose to be covered by this policy. I wouldn't recommend this company to my dog or anybody.

I purchased this warranty when I bought my home. A few months after I moved in I had issues with my AC unit. I filed a claim with Select Home warranty and received an email that it was approved. I called to get some more information when I spoke to one of the reps I was told that my claim was denied because there was a 30 day waiting period from the time I purchased my policy I purchased my policy in February I filed a claim in April then was told it’s another 30 days from March, still was within guidelines, then they told me it was a 30 day cap? Ultimately i was told the motor wasn’t covered so it was denied. Very frustrating and disappointing. Would definitely not recommend.

Please do NOT spend your money with this "Home Warranty" company. As a new customer to Select Home Warranty I am very disappointed and upset that I spent my money purchasing a policy with this company. This company has reimbursement issues, "hidden" probation periods of service, unexpected costs issues, misleading and lack of information when speaking with personnel, as well as poor communication when being transferred to different departments. In any "emergency" repair situation Select Home Warranty is NOT the company to call. Heaven forbid if there is a leak or plumbing issue in your home, you would have an entire swimming pool in your home before Select Home Warranty would send someone over to repair, IF they actually felt like taking the time out of their busy schedules to find a plumbing service nearest to you. Their "reimbursement" is a joke. They will ask for invoices indicating the service that was performed (that you pay for AFTER you pay for the policy) and will give you a refund of only $150. If anyone wanted to pay $300 - $500 for a home repair, then a home warranty policy wouldn't be needed. Long story short, I felt like I had been duped, and wish that I had read more reviews about Select Home Warranty company before I signed up with this circus. One pro to this company is that they have a hell of a sales team, because the person that sold me the policy did a great job of selling the paper that the policy documents were printed on, and an excellent job at concealing what a fraud Select Home Warranty company really is.

They have good customer service and find services quickly. The problem is that contractors don’t want to come and service Select Home Warranty customers. My first time filing a claim, the contractor SHW provided me with(1st leak response) calling me back complaining about waiting for SHW payments for over 4 months, that contractor turn down my order and said he will not answer SHW phone calls. The second claim i submit, i called the contractor (Texan Mechanical) that SHW provided me with, to make an appointment. The contractor was ready to give me an appointment when i told him my order number and insurance name he said he was not setting appointment for “them” yet. SHW clients was not his priority. The third and last claim i submitted. The contractor (Lujano Plumbing) changed my appointment 4 times. When he came told me that Select Home Warranty wont cover my broken water pipe and wanted me to pay the whole service, part, labor etc to him and for me to submit a refund to SHW. He also complained about SHW owning him 15,000. This is how it goes with SHW. You submit a claim and it take 2 labor days to get you a contractor (if you call on Saturday it will take the 4 days). Then the contractor takes 2 days to give you an appointment. Then the contractor submit by email his report and it take SHW to 2 labor days to approve. Once approved contractor has to set up another appointment. It takes about 3 weeks to have the work done.

Horrible experience. DO NOT BUY this service. Website information is all a lie. 1- The website says the offer 24/7 service. That is a lie. They close at 4 pm est, & no call back options or services after business hours. 2- They ask to go to website & file a claim, Another big lie. their website doesn't work. you get stuck entering date or brand & can't file anything. 3- They say they have same day service. Another big lie. Once you get someone on the phone & submit a claim, you have to wait for 48 hours before someone contacts you & schedule a time which can be next week or next month. No same day or same week service. 4- if you are lucky, you get someone on the phone from claim department, which won't commit to any thing. 5- Finally you get an email that they don't have technicians available for next 3- 4 weeks & we should hire our own technician. But we need authorization from them & after we hire a technician & pay for his/her time, we have to call & get authorization from them. They can decide whether to authorize the work or not to pay at all If you still buy their service then good luck to you.

Please all buyers and sellers. Don't go with Select Home Warranty. We purchase a home and our seller paid for the basic coverage. We paid for the upgrade to platinum coverage. When our water heater broke, we had to pay for a company to come out for $125 to look at it. Once they determined that it needed to be relieved replaced, all that was covered was $150. The heater replacement was $1300. We ended up using an outside company where we were able to choose the brand of the water heater and got a bigger one than the broken one. It only cost us $680. This company is in it with their subcontractors to take your money. Upgrading to platinum only put more money into their pockets. In the end, we were out of pocket for the contractor to come and for the platinum upgrade. Customer service is very bad. We had to call and email them a dozen times just to find out that they approved us for $150. Ridiculous!

Sam M. with Select Home Warranty was great! He responded promptly to my inquiry, answered all my questions, and was very professional and friendly. I couldn't be happier!

I just signed up and spoke with Ed. While he was very knowledgeable, I could tell he was getting impatient with me and the questions I had since I’m a new home owner. I have seen a lot of good reviews but after talking with him I have been questioning if I made a mistake. I’m hoping my experience with the warranty procedures will be better.

Following a comprehensive review of available programs I found Select to be far and away the best choice . My hope is that you will continue in the same vein.

We recently purchased a new home, and went with Select for our home warranty. The sales woman said our contract would start March 1st. However, she didn’t factor in Feb only having 28 days. So, I called about repairing a fridge leak around March 2nd. I placed the call less than 12 hours before the warranty actually kicked in (even though she said the 1st). They denied the claim. I had someone come out and paid to have it fixed but the problem started again. I tried calling Select several times, requesting a call back in que, but I never received a call. Once I FINALLY got through to them they are still denying service due to it being a pre-existing problem. This home warranty isn’t worth your money. Stick to American Home Shield. That’s who we had at our old home and never had a single problem with them. I am canceling Select today and reordering American Home Shield. I suggest all other customers do the same. To Select.. I am very disappointed in how you run your company. You are taking peoples money only to deny them service. Shame on you! 😡

Enrollment could not have been easier. Their representative, Greg T., clearly explained all of our options and coverage and answered all of our questions.
