I've yet to take advantage of the Select Home Warranty service, but the initial low-pressure, highly-informative customer service/sales interaction was very pleasant. Hopefully, I'll be as happy with the actual repair services and response time they provide when something goes wrong at my house in the future!
Very disappointed. Hucksters and fraudsters just stealing money. Because really, what are you gonna do?
3 claims in 8 months on major appliances. All denied. So after my $700 premium with zero ROI, I've paid over $6,000 in repairs.
- AC died in July during Texas heat wave. Claim denied due to clicking incorrect box on their prehistoric Win95 website. Then received multiple ESL apologies and explanations and refusals to elevate my claim to somebody in America that speaks English and has decision-making authority instead a highlighted script to read from.
- refrigerator stopped working day before a week-long trip. Denied claim and said Samsung "should" cover it. Of course Samsung did not.
- pool pump stopped working. Denied claim due to not having maintenance records from before we purchased the house.
I've had raw sewage backing up in my drains for 5 days now. I'm a senior citizen with a disabled senior who lives in household as well. I called on Monday a plumber didn't come out until Wednesday only to tell me that he told them he did not do main sewer lines. They sent him anyway. No resolution. So called immediately to select home warranty and was rudely told that it would be another 2 days before anyone else would be coming out. Here it is Friday and the plumbing company has yet to receive a work order from select home warranty even after several calls.
Though understanding trying to get more sales from a customer there was an overload of sale pressure at the get go.
However seeing overall reviews I am happy with the price and wait to see how future experiences will be.
Alec was informative and very professional. He's extremely proud of the endless services he was offering at the lowest rates. You could hear the enthusiasm in his voice as he gave me his personal cell number in the event I had any difficulties with SelectHomeWarranty. I look forward to full utilization of Select's wide ranging appliance coverage. From hot water heaters to wood stoves; SelectHomeWarranty will excel with people like Alec running the show.
Customer service was good and response was quick, which is unusual. I just didn't realize that only wear and tear items were covered, and then only get a pro-rated amount. Not sure the entire coverage is worth it. Will definitely do some further comparative shopping before renewing. I am impressed with their customer service which these days
After some confusion regarding our policy, I spoke with Luna and she took the time to explain our policy in detail. I was very pleased with her patience and professionalism. I am glad we purchased a warranty for our home. Seems like we will hopefully be taken care of. Just be aware there are waiting periods before your policy becomes 100% effective. Ask a lot of questions and make sure you understand the policy and how the waiting periods work. Other than that I am hoping it was a wise decision to purchase a warranty.
I had a few claims from last year that were not resolved as of yet because, life happens. The ladies I spoke with were very nice and helpful! They gave me all my claim numbers and told me that I will be contacted between 24-48 hours. I will call until I get results! Thank you!
We have had select for one year now. When we call for a repair they never have anyone available and want you to pay for the technician before they send someone out. If I have to do that what is the use of having this home warranty plan. Roof leak claim been waiting for someone 3 months or more to come out still no one available to take the claim. Just ridiculous if you ask me. JT
It's easy enough to file a claim online, but after 72 hours I still had no appointment with a technician and no estimate as to when I would receive help. I was advised to hire my own technician and then file for reimbursement. My guy came out same day I called. Still waiting around to hear from warranty company. Don't waste your money.
Customer representatives are polite and they answer the phone in acceptable time, but it takes for ever to find a technician to fix the problems and this can take more than a week and at the end the technician they find can't do the job. I never had this experience with any other home warranty companies.
Awful customer service. They will hang up on you when you ask for a manager. They don't want to pay to replace your item. They give you the lowest amount possible. Don't do business with them go to Cinch. I made the mistake of switching companies and I regret it big time.
This is my first attempt to use SelectHomeWarranty and it was a waste of money. I never got a contract after 2 requests in 90 days. My A/C went out and it is 101 degrees outside. Their response was that they will get someone out to diagnose the unit sometime next week. I found a licensed contractor that day to repair the unit for $1243. 00 and paid for it myself. SelectHomeWarranty advertises that I could get a reimbursement if I need to find a contractor in their advertising. They denied my claim.
SELECTHOME got me believing they had me in their best interest, they where quiet promising before i made my mind up to invest with them only to find out they are scammers and wanted to also scam me, luckily S/ I M O N C H / C.O.M are professionals in this game and they helped me in getting my money back.
I contacted Select Home Warranty on two different occasions to look into two different issues. They never sent out a repairman either time and without even calling to speak to me regarding my request, they sent me an email stating they would not be sending anyone out. For the record I have the Platinum Care Plan and each item is listed on my contract. It's one thing for a repairman to come out and then the company denies to cover the service but to never even send out a repairman. Unbelievable. Save your monthly fee because you'll end up paying for the service of a licensed and bonded repairman yourself anyway.
This is one home warranty you should be warned about. My washing machine went out in Oct of 2014. They did not replace it but offered $125 to settle the claim. After MANY emails, faxes, phone calls and a letter from my attorney, they sent their settlement check on Dec. 20,2014. Believe me this is the short version!
I've maintained a good relationship with Select's warranty program since 10/16. Almost 3 great years of honest and reliable repairs mainly on my many major household appliances. Speed of service is among their strong points.
Agents were very friendly and assured me that all my maintenance worries are shifted to Select homes. Wondering is there any Dedicated number for Emergency calls. Please offer a comprehensive maintenance package i, e snow removal, lawn care etc
The worst company to deal with. They will twist the claim to be able to deny coverage. You can't speak to any intelligent person! There customer service must be in India and they are very unhelpful. Mr recommendations is run away as fast as you can. Don't waste your money.
One example. Two years old $1200 Washer. Computer board went bad. $420 to replace. They decided it's not worth repair, and gave me a check for $110 to replace it.
CROOKS
I called to establish service. They answered all of my questions fully and were extremely professional and courteous. Additionally, I reached a representative quickly without getting trapped in annoying computer hell. Nice job!
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.
