I do not recommend them. We had them for about 6 months and then had trouble with our central AC. Every step of the way after having a repairman diagnose the problem, it was a couple 48 hour windows for them to make some decisions, then they wanted further info followed by more 24 hour decision processes. 2 weeks later and they said they approved the repair, they will cover a maximum of $150 for a fix that's going to run $1,200+ What a joke.

It is not in my habit to tell bad thing of a business, but this company seems to be the worst on the market. First their exclusions are outrageous. We had few repair to do just after buying the house even after a good inspection. We took the pool coverage and all the "electronic" and the "tub" works are not covered (let me know what is covered ?). Today it was a visit to check my A/C which was not working properly. Just having a look at the unit (saying that it works - which I knew. The contractor asked me $130 and advised to clean the unit (always good advice).

TOTAL WASTE OF $$$!!! I contacted them re: my A/C unit. They send someone out, we pay the $75 only to have Select email us and tell us they don't cover it within the 1st 30 days!!! Why they didn't inform me of that in the 1st place instead of wasting our $ is beyond me! Horrible business practice and a TOTAL waste of $! Even the things the do cover are the things that rarely go wrong with your appliances, etc.

Select Home Warranty is a rip off company. I paid for a year of coverage on what they call the platinum care plan. My clothes dryer went out and they will pay for the part but not for the part to be installed. They will not send me a check for what they will pay to put toward a new dryer until I buy a new dryer. I need that money to cover the cost as I am on fixed income. My advice is do not chose this company as they are crooks.

We had a garbage disposal go bad. They said because it was old, the contract allowed them not to fix it and give us $75 instead. We now have to figure out how to get it fixed, and anything that goes bad is old so what will they end up fixing? I was told by the salesman Bruce when questioned on this that it would not happen. They give you a thirty day refund policy, but at the same time you have to wait thirty days to use. We will see what happens on the next repair.

This "company" is the very definition of a scam. Please do not give them your hard-earned money, they are little more than thieves. I have had about 3 claims and most of the time a contractor will show up, take your "service call" fee and then vanish. SelectHome doesn't want to hear about it, because you agree to this fee when you sign up. Please, do your homework and fin a reputable company. SelectHome IS NOT ONE!

Be very wary of dealing with this company. Take note that most of the good reviews have to do with customer service while purchasing the contract. Be sure to look at the exclusions in section 9 prior to purchasing. This section is worded in a way that basically gives the company the ability to decline claims for almost any situation. It's super shady.

SCAMMERS!!! BUYERS BEWARE!!! I purchased a home warranty to cover all my major appliances only to find out they don't cover anything. They collect your money and when you put in a claim they don't fix anything. I have had an issue with my plumbing in the bathroom- only to find out I didn't have coverage had to purchase additional plumbing and fixture for $ 49.99 ONLY TO FIND OUT I HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $ 600.00 OUT OF POCKET. WOW!!! I had to search to a plumber on my own... RUN DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THEM !! THEY ARE HORRIBLE!!! SCAMMERS!!!!

Home Warranties are the worst investment a person can make. This company doesn't cover much and its hard to get reputable contractors to take care of a job. I later found out the reason was because Select warranty was not paying the contractors like they are supposed to so the customer gets the short end of the stick. I will not be renewing my service. Meanwhile I am sitting in a hot house with my family after they said they were going to cover my unit. They are crooks!If I could give less than 1 star I would.

This "home" warranty company is closer to a scam than an actual home warranty. You pay them a bunch of money. Something that is covered breaks, and then you get to see them not cover any of the cost to replace. STAY AWAY this is a SCAM and they should be shut-down. I have been with them 10-months and my water heater broke and they wouldn't cover the costs of replacement. I just canceled the last 2-months and will NEVER go back to them. They are a joke and scammers STAY AWAY. You are better off not having a home warranty than going through Select.

Select Home Warranty refused to pay to replace a part the stopped working properly in my AC system and fabricated a bogus story blaming me for the part that went bad by accusing me of not taking care of my AC system. I have the receipt from when I paid to have the system serviced a few months ago. Select Home Warranty should be held accountable for the scam they are running on me to avoid paying for the replacement part that would fix my AC.

My lawn sprinkler failed, so I called SHW, They assigned a technician that never called even though I left several messages, before his mailbox became full. Finally got him and he told me that he was a plumber, not a sprinkler repairman. Called the company again, they assigned a true sprinkler company, This company contacted me and told me that they did not do work for SHW. I called the company to cancel the policy, they want to deduct a portion of the premium, I refused to be shortchanged and cancel through the credit card co. GOOD RIDDANCE

Called on a Friday, by the following Tuesday had to call the selected repair technician myself, never heard from them. Afterwards you denied my claim , stating no covered. The coil had a leak whicy lead to Freon leaking. In the not covered section of policy, there is no reference to the coil not being covered. Terminated policy. Will not recommend to anyone.

I have called them out on two occasion. The last one was a dishwasher repair. I paid the $75 call out fee to find out this is not covered as a repair but was told that the part would be but not cost of labor. I chose to order part and have shipped to me and repaired myself. I have emailed and tried well over 5 times to talk to someone with finally getting through for them to tell me now that the part is not covered. Don't buy their warranty... it is awful.

The most difficult company to get a straight answer from. They DO NOT live up their agreement. You cant get timely support from the rep or the "manager" when you ask to elevate. When you ask to cancel they promise to extort your refund by deducting any efforts completed to date and a $75 penalty fee. Very sad, so give your money to a panhandler...at least you know where your money went.

Horrible company. Days and weeks to get someone to come out, only to be told it’s not covered when it states in our paperwork it is covered. One contractor they gave us refused to come out because select home hasn’t paid him on previous jobs. By far the worst warranty company ever. So mad I paid for a year to be “covered”. Complete waste of money.

So disappointed

Fraudalent practices. They have still not "found" a plumber to come and repair the only toilet in my house and it has been 22 days!! They kept sending emails stating that they are still looking (I live in a city!). They keep saying that it has been "escalated" to a manager. And when I looked up to see how I could cancel - it states that I will be charged about 129 per month for the 3 months that I have been with them AND that they will continue to charge that amount for the next 3 months because you have to give them 3 months notice. Complete rip off. Going back to AHS

Horrible company to work with! Most of our claims were "fixed" but we ended up paying the service fee and then paying out of pocket to get the problem fixed. We would make a claim but took forever to hear back from the warranty company before having to call to find out who would do the work. The contractor's they hire take forever to schedule a service time. We have had to call them to see when they could come out. Completely unhappy with this company. Have no clue how they can be in a top rated warranty company.

Worst company I ever dealt with. Paid for a warranty, tried to use it, claim got denied, tried to cancel my policy and they charged me $128 of my $450 payment for nothing. I had no heat for 5 days waiting on the whole process from getting the service tech to getting denied. I changed the part myself in 30mins for only $114. Save your money they will try all they can do to get out of paying for anything or just get you to pay for the work and then deny reimbursement. STAY AWAY FROM SELECT HOME WARRANTY.

Have had policy since September 2018. Contacted them December 30th for repair technician to be assigned to dryer problem. Today is March 28th, and still no dryer. Last week our a/c unit started to freeze up. Technician came out and quoted $1000 for repair. SHW offered us $150 toward repairs. Stay far away from this company. We had another home warranty for years and never should have left to save the $10 a month.

This company is terrible in every way! Terrible customer service. You had better read all 17 pages of the policy so you understand there is a 30 day wait for coverage AND an additional 30 days for replacement of an item (like refrigerator control board) oh and a fee to cancel once you figure all of that out! As an agent of 15 years, I have never experienced such awful treatment. (I didn't recommend them - my buyer chose them and it was worth it to him to lose money by cancelling). Stay away!

This is the worst warranty company I have ever had. Poor customer service, long waiting to get a representative. Very few providers in my area and send me someone 52 miles away that could not come for 2 weeks to repair a washer. Rude agents and they say they will try and get you someone sooner and it is not true. You call back and they tell you the same thing. They say they will send you a email or call to let you know and they don't send anything. I do not recommend this company.

I just got Select Hone Warranty’ and had a problem with my A/C. Called to have a serviceman come out & they could NOT get my name right. Then they tell me my A/C is NOT covered for leaks! I as livid. How is that possible? They wrote up the report that my refrigerator was not covered. IMADE A HUGH MISTAKE!!!!! If they had more people that could speak English, read, and write they might be a tad better. DO NOT USE THEM. I only gave them a star because that was the lowest.

The WORST. I filled a claim for my ice maker ( not making ice )and the technician diagnosed a water pressure problem . Once you get that fix I will return to check the ice maker. Select warranty told me to hire my one plumber and they will refund me. Send the invoice and waited for 6 weeks. Now the they denied the claim for the plumber and the ice maker. Called and complaint but all I got were excuses. WORST company home warranty service .

Select Home Warranty, should not be allowed to do business. As Americans, we have no one to protect us from such unethical companies such as SHW. They will not pay to fix anything, it's difficult to get in touch with them, or get a response from e-mail or phone contact. If you will notice, just about all of the good reviews for SHW simply deal with the sign-up process, I almost cry, when I think of the horror, these innocent trusting people will face when they file a claim with Select Home Warranty, this is when the nightmare begin. Do not trust or deal with Select Home Warranty

I have platinum plan of select home warranty for two of my rental houses, have very bad experiences of both. When my water leaking, they said it was not covered. When my water heater was required to be replaced by their contractor, they said it was covered. Basically, they cover nothing. When I asked to cancel my service, they did not say anything and just refused to do it.

Was told everything covered with just the deductible to pay tech. Sales rep insured me everything was covered. My heat system stopped working. Tech came quickly. Fine print though case under review. They say will ONLY cover $150 since I do not have service record from previous owner of home. I paid the $75 service fee to be left with no heat because company won’t cover over $150 without service record. Do not throw your money away on this company.

DO NOT BUY a warranty from this company. They are a rip off and will not pay out on your claims. Then qote you these contract clauses that the buyer never sees at purchase time, in order not to pay. This company has cost me $1013 thrown down the drain, in purchase cost and claims. They found a reason to only pay $100 of a $613 claim then when I tried to cancel the warranty I was told I had to pay a $75 admin fee plus reimburse them any money they paid to me in claims, which means I lose even more money and have to pay back the $100 they paid on the $613 claim.

Terrible terrible company. Call to file a claim and they never get back to you. You have to call back to find out the status of your claim ok nlybto find out that a contractor is not available or what needs to be fixed is not covered under their warranty. Always a loophole or exception to get them out of fixing what should be covered under warranty. Just out to get your money then find an excuse why they can't repair your problem. Horrible customer service, can't understand a single person you have to talk to. DO NOT PAY DOR THIS WARRANTY. You will highly disappointed

They wanted 3 years of maintenance records but we have only lived here for less than 15 months. They ended up giving us $150 for our ac that is $4400 to replace. Also the process took over a week & we are still without ac in the south. The company they hired to come out never showed. So we had to find another company on our own because they couldn’t provide another option. Also on more than one occasion we had to call back after they promised a response in 12-24 hours.
