The worseWarranty company ever. Their contractors that they send out can't stand them. They don't pay their contractors. They make every excuse why something in your home is not covered

The service is unprofessional and the contractors are clearly getting a kick back. They fraudulently provide diagnosis that are not accurate to prevent the company having to pay for repair/ replacement

Poor customer service, lost water well pump during Christmas and they do not rush to get it repaired so I had to do it myself 2 days later. Even after stating I had a house full of people here for holidays. Pitiful service

Most of our claims were denied. They did not provide the service that we thought we would get. A lot of things we were informed would be covered are not covered.

They don't follow through and by the time you get a provider it's been a month. I just used them and it took them over a month to try and find a provider then I was told it wasn't covered and I still had to pay the $65.

Unfortunately we were scammed by this company also in Oct. 2021 ( 125 service fee). We pd 2279 upfront only to have every claim denied with fly by night companies coming in with the exception of a septic claim we pd up front, whilst my husband dug and covered trench from house to septic and we waited a yr for 400 refund… my last at with them ended up with me going to BBB and asking for refund cancellation, to which they told me they owed me 4.26 so I might as well finish my contract through 2027… of course with them Denying claims!! Disgusting company

Filed my first claim after a year of paying the premium. Have been without hot water for 4 days and still no Service Technician. The first company they "supposedly sent out" NEVER showed. Called and complained about their service and they said that someone would be out today to evaluate the situation......No show and No call back info. Called for the 2nd time and they stated that they will look into it tomorrow during normal business hours. Will be dropping this warranty company because as soon as my claim is closed. Terrible to work with!!!!

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with Select Home Warranty and feel compelled to share my ordeal to prevent others from falling into the same trap. Depreciated Value Reimbursement When one of my home appliances broke down, I was initially relieved to have a home warranty with Select Home Warranty. However, I quickly learned that their promises are far from reality. They refused to reimburse the full cost of fixing my broken appliance simply because it was considered old. Instead, they offered only the depreciated value, which was nowhere near the actual repair cost. This left me with a significant out-of-pocket expense. High Technician Fees Adding insult to injury, the technician they sent charged exorbitant fees. Despite these high fees, Select Home Warranty would not reimburse any part of the technician's charges. It felt like I was paying double: once for the service call and again for the repairs that weren't adequately covered by the warranty. I did not use their technician due to the high cost and paid for someone else which is a lot cheaper. Difficult Cancellation Process When I decided to cancel my service out of sheer frustration, the process was a nightmare. It took days of repeated calls to different representatives, each one giving me the runaround. This constant back-and-forth wasted my time and only added to my anger and frustration. Withheld Reimbursement To make matters worse, I had a reimbursement pending processing before I decided to cancel. Once I finally managed to cancel the policy, Select Home Warranty refused to process any reimbursements that were due to me before the cancellation. This is completely unacceptable and feels like a deliberate tactic to avoid paying out claims. Conclusion In summary, Select Home Warranty is a scam. They fail to provide the coverage they promise, their processes are convoluted and time-consuming, and they will go to great lengths to avoid reimbursing you. Do not use this company ever. Save yourself the headache and choose a more reliable home warranty provider.

Still a no show.... Total waste of my time and $$$$. Avoid this company!!!! TOTAL RIPOFF!!!!

By far the worst company I have ever had to deal with, bar none. I filed a claim for my stove/oven on 8/28/2023 because the control panel stopped working. After TWO visits, and multiple out of pocket expenses, it has still not been fixed (10/16/2023). What is worse is that during the 2nd repair visit, my husband (who is a below the knee amputee on his left and partial foot amputation on the right) had to help pull the unit out with the repairman. After which the repairman determined an additional part was needed. So they put the unit back. The repairman was great but I watched him spend 30 minutes just on the phone with this company trying to get the additional part approved. Bad service on your part. That same night, we noticed that the downdraft fan was on low and since the control panel buttons do not work, we had to shut the power off to it completely at the circuit breaker. Then I noticed the glass top has a large crack across it. Since we haven't used it, I am sure it happened during the "repair". I just called Select Home Warranty to talk about the additional claim and was told this would not be covered nor will the other repair. So now I am out all of the money I spent paying for this policy, the deductible, and additional repair costs and I still have to buy a whole new range. The woman I spoke with whose name I could not understand, would not let me cancel despite numerous requests from me to transfer to member services. She kept reiterating that I had the "Best" policy you offer. "Best" would have not let us go TWO months without an oven and the fact that the crack happened during the repair is ridiculous. She was not nice. If anyone reads this, do not go with them. They called or emailed me every other day to get an update on the repair. That is information they should have their system from the repair people.

0 would be fair! I'm quite surprised by the positive reviews Select Home Warranty receives because my personal experience has been far from positive. I submitted three claims for my garage door opener, water heater, and kitchen disposal, and each one was denied. I'm left wondering if these denials are automated or if there's a human involved in the decision-making process. To make matters worse, when I called for clarification, I received conflicting information over the phone, only to be denied again via email shortly after. When I was initially shopping for a warranty, I did receive some warnings about this company, but I was swayed by the positive reviews. Trust me, those reviews are misleading, and Select Home Warranty seems to make grand promises just to get you to sign up.

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM. DO NOT BUY!!! They sent a tech to my home who took my $1100 built in microwave to repair it, then never returned it. SHW refuses to give me any business information about the tech they sent to my house except a phone number that is now disconnected. For every claim I made they either deny it or offer pennies on the dollar for what their tech says it will cost. They refuse to give you anything in writing. They should be paying me for the time and headache I have spent getting the run around from their client service reps. Oh, and did I mention the stolen microwave? THIS COMPANY IS CRIMINAL. Someone needs to shut them down.

Total scam company. They promise you in the big print and take it all away int eh fine print. Yeah you can file a claim online 24/7, big deal it's 2023 why don't they have an app? Why can't you see work orders online? They have been "working on adding" that feature for over a year now. Their playbook for handling customers is stall, lie and promise, but then do NOTHING to help. I had one lady swear on the life of her 4 children she was not lying and dispatch would get a tech out on Saturday to fix my HVAC. It is over 105 outside and over 87 inside, they scheduled the tech to come next Tuesday, then they need 24-48 to "approve" the repair. They are a complete joke.

I bought a 5½ -year policy from Select Home Warranty (“SHW”) in Nov 2022 for $2500. On 7/21/23 my clothes dryer stopped working; Filed a claim online on 7/23; rec'd email & text messages on 7/24 that a tech would come 7/26 between 8am & noon. On 7/26: No show, no call. Rec'd email/text msgs on 7/27 that the tech would come 7/27 between 8am & noon. Again no show, no call. On 7/28 a tech arrived, diagnosed the problem & said he'd draft a report & send it to SHW, who would order parts & have them sent to me, then I should call the tech to come back to do the repair. On 8/4 we called SHW to check on the claim; were told the parts had not been ordered yet. We req'd they be ordered immediately & shipped overnight; rep said he'd see what he could do. On 8/15 we called SHW, were told they rec'd the report over 2 weeks ago: the dryer could not be fixed & they were waiting on a determination from their Resolution Dept. I req'd that SHW email me a copy of the report; they told me I needed to get it from the tech. Left several messages for the tech but have not rec'd any reply. On 8/16 (today) I rec'd an email saying they had approved a $185 reimbursement (my dryer is 5 yrs old & cost nearly $700), but I must repair or replace the unit myself, send SHW the “paid invoice”, and then wait to receive a “Reimbursement Form” to sign/return before they'd send a check. So I've been without a clothes dryer for nearly a month & it's still broken. I emailed SHW to cancel my policy & expect a full refund. There's no reason my dryer can't be repaired, the tech missed app'ts & I have not rec'd the report. The delay is delay & their rep gave us erroneous info re: parts. No one followed up on the claim, their offer is insultingly low & requires unnecessary paperwork. SHW's website says “We’ll repair your covered item. You’ll pay a minimal service fee. It’s that simple.” This is completely false; nothing has been simple about this claim. I'm extremely dissatisfied with SHW. I'm curious to see how they respond to my request for a full refund; if they resolve this matter acceptably, I'll come back & revise my review. Until then, I would strongly advise NOT purchasing a home warranty from this company.

I have an air conditioner with a broken TXV valve from normal wear and tear (according to technician sent). It was evaluated AM 7/13. Warranty claims they did not receive anything until Friday 7/14 -- yeah sure. It is now 7/22, and I have not received a verdict email, despite 3 separate promises that I would if I waited 2 days, or 1 day, or hours. I was also promised a call back by supervisor which did not occur. The AC is partially functioning, but we have been left with the house between 85 and 90 degrees since then, in Mesa AZ with highs 110+. I called 3 times and got "keep waiting, we've escalated" with promises of a verdict which never came. The last time I talked with the rep for an hour. He said I had to wait, but I said I'd wait on hold and would not get off. First, there was no resolution. Then it was "actually there yesterday" - denied because freon was involved. I offered to pay for the freon and have the rest covered. They offered partial coverage and said the policy didn't cover installation $300+. They referred me to paragraphs in the policy that did not speak to that issue. It talked about not covering damage caused by bad installation. I disagreed, but just asked for coverage because of the 6+ days delay. They cited this line in the policy: 10.5. Delay. Select will not be responsible for delays in repairing or replacing a system or appliance resulting from events beyond its control. I admit I laughed out loud. It doesn't seem like an act of god beyond their control is involved. I have been lied to, delayed, partially denied. And forced to deal with all this. Over the phone they promised partial coverage, but I have no email. They advised me to fix it on my own and apply for reimbursement. After already saying they would deny it.
