The rep took his time explaining all coverages under each type. He was not pushy like other sales reps I dealt with. He knew his product and I am very happy with my purchase. Much cheaper than others and they are one of the leaders in home warranties.

Great Customer Service
February 8, 2020

Josh Robinson did a great job getting me set up with my home warranty. I was worried about the expenses of unexpected issues with our new house. Josh helped me to get affordable coverage and peace of mind. Thanks!

Service over the phone with Chase Reynolds was exceptional. He was very accommodating and answers every question I had. Even though I knew I was able to cancel the contract at any point if I became unsatisfied with your service - I decided on a 3 year contract because of the great price. I am very satisfied with our agreement and look forward to a satisfying relationship.
Thanks again,

Brent Gibson OD

Scam
April 25, 2023

Filed 3 claims in the course of a year and a half all three denied bogus reasons total scam they look for any reason to deny your claim and when all else fails for them they say depreciation and will only offer you $200 at most and only after you submit a paid invoice. Customer service works off flow charts which is circuitous and gets you nowhere. Even talking to a manager has the same result and excuses. They say they are in NJ but I'm almost certain they are not

Do not trust these people to take care of anything. They will look for an excuse to not cover a majority of the claims, and the contractors they use are terrible. I had a plumber cancel on me twice and then no showed the third time. I had my dishwasher fixed only after I used my own provider and then it took 4 months to get an $85 reimbursement check. The fine print basically allows them to not cover your claim for any reason. Go elsewhere.

I moved and tried to get a refund but they told me I had a $75 cancellation fee.

I worked here
July 9, 2019

I worked here it's a big scam. They are based in a small New York office and only approve about 10% of claims, never in full. All 5 star reviews are there because customers get a free month of useless coverage for posting a good review. Everything is indeed written in the T&C but good luck getting a hold of that.

SHW is the way to go!
August 3, 2020

So far, I am a new customer but I plan on being an old and steadfast customer with this company. Not only have I saved money with their yearly plans, but I was extremely amazed to see that items like my refrigerator, sump pumps and AC units were covered and not listed as add ons. I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with my new company.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
June 10, 2020

I chose them because of their high scores in customer service, but the first chance they had to provide good service, they failed. I had a claim just after the "30" day waiting period required for my policy to be active, but because i paid by debit card, they added 5 days. Instead of taking the opportunity to provide good service, they simply reply with, "If you read the contract, it says you have to wait the extra 5 days". While I understand it states that, it seems like a good chance to show why should stay with them instead of going to a competitor who actually cares. I'll be going elsewhere and will be recommending others do the same. VERY disappointing.

I have been with a competitor for a few years prior to Select Home Warranty. The liaison I spoke to on the phone was friendly, professional and easy to talk to. He was able to lay out all of the guidelines for me about the program. The cost is very reasonable compared to other companies and has the same, If not better, perks. It would be wise to select this company! Our last company was Terrible with wait times (many days)to have our water heater fixed, furnace fixed etc. I am very glad we found them!

No trust
May 25, 2020

I just filled the form to see the quote and before the last step they called me. There is no even any flag or notice that they will call. So they called without my agreement and that was the most stupid thing the sales can do, I was almost ready to buy warranty but they distracted me. They have no any agreement flag or notice and use my personal information before I take a "SUBMIT" action. They used my contact information BEFORE I agreed to provide it - that's how all scammers behave.
I googled, found reviews and... well. They do not deserve any trust. Like several other companies I tried - they did the same. Now they are calling me every day, I'm even tired of blocking their numbers.

BTW do not look at the positive reviews, nobody writes positives unless they have to or just bored.
If you have enough time you will find common language in al positives that shows they are written by same person or group.

The telephone call I made to receive customer service information was handled very professionally. All of my concerns as a first time customer were satisfied by pleasant Select Home Warranty customer service representatives.

I'm generally happy
June 26, 2020

I'm generally happy with Select Home Warranty. They do a good job of keeping in touch, and they did approve an important claim. My only hope would be for a quicker approval process. After the mechanic's diagnosis, I believe I had to wait a total of 3 days for approval.

This is a terrible company. I am pretty sure the good comments are fake. They do anything they can to deny your claim. I was denied because of no maintenance records. I literally just bought the house and had only been there for maybe 7 months. My water heater was maybe a year old but it came with the house, so of course I didn't have the records.

Don't Buy it
September 14, 2022

Basically, they are a scam. I bought Platinum Care from them 6/21/2021 and made 1 claim this year. I waited for 3 weeks and paid $75 for somebody to come out to have a look, then after multiple phone calls in 3 more weeks only to find out the claim is rejected. American home shield is better than them. Don't buy it, otherwise you create headaches for yourself.

Select warranty is one of the friendliest companies I have had the pleasure of working with. They care and put pressure on a local tech to come in 24 hours to fix my air conditioning. What a great company I am happy.

Requesting a quote
June 5, 2020

We were shopping around for a new home warranty as our other is running out soon. The gentleman, Josh, who I communicated with was very patient in answering my questions and explaining the procedures to get service if needed. He was not "pushy" or a fast talker just going for a sale. And with this company working with us for payments we were very pleased.

Worst company ever. They have NO customer service. Took the 3 1/2 weeks to return a phone call that they said would happen within 24 hours. My 4000.00 claim has been open for 16 months. They only want to honor it for 400.00. They never even sent anyone out. I had to do all the work and I did it the best I could. Now demanding they send there own tech out. Worst company ever!

Worst of the Worst
February 23, 2024

When purchasing my warranty, the sales representative assured me that Select Home Warrant does not employ foreign call centers. Unfortunately, that was a massive lie, as the only English-speaking, United States-based assets of Select Home Warranty is the sales team, every other facet of their organization is outsourced to the Philippines. I filed a claim for a faulty water heater, citing a puddle of water under the unit, the pilot light being out, and the smell of gas in my furnace room. The person I spoke to authorized me to contact my own service provider. Two minutes after concluding the call, I received a message that the claim was denied as they do not cover leaks. I called back and spoke to a horrendous call center representative who did nothing but repeat the content of the e-mail over and over. I asked how they can make a determination when there is no diagnosis from a service professional. I asked over 15 times to speak to a supervisor, and this person repeatedly told me he would not connect me to a supervisor and was the top person in his department. He also informed me that only their sales team is based in the United States. Select Home Warranty will obviously do anything to avoid paying a claim and can magically diagnose an issue without a service professional's diagnosis.
