Customer Experience

Overall Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Excellent)

Select Home Warranty’s lack of a term maximum is very attractive, especially when considering their comparatively generous appliance and system limits.

They do have a waiting period for service and require maintenance records, which can be off-putting to some customers. Select is an excellent choice for customers who value savings and flexibility.

I was pleased how quickly Select Home Warranty assigned me to a technician and when the technician didn't get back to me, the warranty company was able to help me out. The claim was approved as soon as the technician left my house!! Great job Select Home Warranty!!!

Paying out of pocket for repairs could be very troublesome for a single mom like me. I heard from my friend that getting a home warranty could help me with that. At first, I was hesitant but she showed me different packages to choose from which would fit my budget. Doubtful, I did some research and I signed up with Select Home Warranty and so far I do not have to worry much over repairs.

A neighbor told me about Select Home Warranty and they were very happy with it. They have been bragging that they don’t have issues calling them up and getting their appliances repaired in no time. They even told me that they either fix it or replace it. I've never heard of them but I decided to try them. I am so pleased with it. Their service has been excellent. No hassles at all. I recommend them all the time.

I had really bad experience to home warranties for the past 3 years. After years and years of headaches and frustrations I found Select Home. It was my aunt who introduces Select Home because they bought 2 policies from them. I have heard nothing but good feedback so I decided to give them a try. When it’s time to finally file my first claim for my dishwasher I got to talk to a live person in few minutes. This is surprising because I Usually get at least 15 minutes waiting time with my previous provider. From there everything went well. Happy customer of Select Home.

I have a lot of good experiences with Select Home Warranty. Just this morning, I had a leaky pipe that was flooding my basement. Eddie is absolutely awesome. He understood the urgency of my concern and was very sympathetic. He assured me that he will get my work order out as soon as possible. I doubted that he could really send someone to help me out. But he did! He saved me from my basement getting destroyed.

Easy to talk to Adam, he answered all questions we had. Explained everything in detail. Very impressed with the service they offer compared to 3 other top companies. Their flat fee for service is the best.
