Had a very satisfying discussion about home warranties with the sales rep on the phone, he explained the benefits and answered all my questions and I ended up purchasing a home warranty. Very pleased with the purchase!
My warranty says fixes plumbing but not stoppage. However, now that I may have a plumbing leak they say it is not covered. Leak is not stoppage it should be covered. Now I'm guessing anything that goes wrong they will state not covered. Giving money away using them.
They sent a second rate plumber and took 3 weeks to get back to me after I filed the claim. I'm starting to wonder if this is a legitimate business.
Then the tell me to get to the pipe they need to fix they will have to cut in to the dry wall but will not cover the cutting of it or repair of it.
Maybe I should just file a claim to have the hole in the drywall repaired afterwards? Just sounds like they have to cut corners to be so cheap.
This company deserves a -5. They take your money and won't repair a thing. They always have an excuse not to cover repairs clearly covered under your plan. Find a more legitimate company because this company will just take your money.
Agent was able to answer all my questions to my satisfaction. I previously dealt with another company and was very disappointed with their service. Hopefully, this will not be the case with this company
My A/C stopped working and I called to file a claim. I spoke with a young woman who very quickly found my account, gathered all appropriate information and very clearly explained all the next steps. Fast and easy! I've worked with SHW for years and they have it down to a science!
Received call and email within 4 hours of submitting claim. Information regarding the process and timeframes for technician contact was great, answered most questions regarding the process. Waiting on contact, but very satisfied so far.
I am happy to have Select Home Warranty. They have been prompt with my calls for service. I wish they wouldve authorized a little more money for the reimbursement of the garbage disposal. I am still happy for the $75 towards a purchase of new disposal.
Excellent personal help. Gave impression he cared about me. Very satisfied. He directed me to the best option for me and my situation and he explained each option in detail. Also, he answered all my questions about the policy and potential claims.

It is my first time buying a home warranty and Select Home Warranty gave me the best price.
Fred, the sales representative was very informative and help me to decide what was the best plan for my needs.
Very friendly and quickly answered my questions. I appreciated even when I needed to speak with another department, I didn't have to wait long and the person I spoke with was able to help me with the claim.
DISHONEST AND CORRUPT! They take your money and offer nothing. I found out the hard way. The first three months they don't cover anything. Then after the first three months they only cover partially the value of the repair. I paid the full years cost trusting that they would honor the coverage. I have always had a home warranty company since I've owned my home. I recently dropped a warranty company for not honoring their word. So, I decided to join Select and try them out. Nope! They were worse. My air conditioner went out ($6000), and they refused the claim. I didn't expect Select to pay the full amount but they could have at least offered to pay something. So, tomorrow I have to contact them about returning my years pay to them. They will probably try to keep that also. Read the contract thoroughly on these warranty companies, this one is completely CORRUPT!
I read the coverage details carefully as compared to other companies. I previously looked at Choice Home Warranty since they were rated higher, but their warranty has so many exclusions that if you actually file a claim they don't cover anything. SHW seemed like a more reasonable balance between covering a lot and being inexpensive. I have had AHS Home Warranty for years and have become frustrated with long times to get anything serviced, like two months for a broken water heater and roughly two months for my washing machine.
I would say though that SHW's web site hasn't impressed me. I found the coverage details of their warranty plan by Googling for it, not because it was obvious how to find it on the web site. Similarly, when I went to the web site today the web site did not seem to be working.
Takes 2 more days when a Repairman doesn't show up and to find another repairman. By then the weekend is here and the clothes pile is getting bigger and the water in the wash machine, that is the problem is starting to stink up the house.
Submitted claim a month ago. They said they couldn't get a contractor out to my house and to hire my own contractor to do the repairs. I had a contractor come out and give an estimate. My drain pipe to my tub fell off. To fix this issue, the tile and tub needs to be removed per the contractor. Select Home Warranty denied the estimate and said it is a tile or grout problem and they do not cover those issues. My drain pipe fell off, how is this a tile problem? Absolutely horrible company! STAY AWAY!
The salesperson lied and lied and lied. He said everything would be covered. I submitted a claim for a couple light switches that we're improperly wired, as I was assured by the lying salesman that this was covered. The claim was denied. I paid $600 for the coverage and $75 for a technician to come out for the diagnostic. A complete waste of money! I could have used the money for actual repairs. I'm sick over this! Buyer beware! Do not purchase a warranty from this company!
Always thought that home warranties were a fight waiting to happen. I had one on a previous home with the big guy and everything from extra costs to changes are an issue. With my new home I went with Select Home Warranty because they were cheaper. I had a problem with my air conditioner and notified Select. I was quickly scheduled with a local 5 star rated company. Yhe next morning by 9 am the problem was repaired. My house is cool again and the service fee was $45, the other company was $125! I was notified by text and email every inch of the process. The whole thing could not have been handled any better. Save money and get better service is a win win situation.
This is a fraudulent company! Do not be swindled! Please save your money and go with a real warranty company. They will steal your money and not follow through will claims. You will not be reimbursed for any of your claims and they will promise to send you a check and have you sign a reimbursement agreement and they won't send anything! DO NOT WASTE your money! Spread the word!
The representative was polite and thorough with giving me my policy number and claim number and stated he was sorry I was having problems with my dishwasher. His name was Pat. Very professional. Thanks
I spoke with a sales rep named William. He was thorough and wanted to move forward with the policy. I told him I needed to look more closely at the website and that I would call him back if her left me his number. He did leave me his number. I did look some more at the website and decided to give it a try. The agent did try to upsell me into a multi year contract, but I passed on it. Throughout both calls, William was helpful and polite. If the service is as good as this representative, I will be very pleased.
Answer: Scam. Do not trust. They lie and will NOT cover your items.
Answer: Based on Internet searches but quickly found out that they are a SCAM.
Answer: After filing 5 claims, and one tech that wanted to pad his pocket resulting in me fixing my own leak in a toilet at my expense after paying their tech. And another tech wanting to get my pool setup for summer at150. More than I already gave for deductible she didn't fix my pump or water line to my pool. Both denied by select home Warrenty. And 3 more that I paid their techs for then had to fix it myself. Now my freezers compressor is out and they took money out of my bank account without my permission after saying they would go ahead and fix the freezer well guess what they declined it. And said it wasn't covered when in the contract it says it is. List all meat and others because of 3 weeks if waiting for them
Answer: They are fast when signing you but so slow in responding and they are a total scam had to pay out of pocket for my leak repair that they should fix
Answer: Stay away from this company, get your money back ASAP. The longer you wait, the less money you get back.
