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.

When my furnace broke down in the middle of the night, I lodged a claim immediately. While I was thinking about what to do next in the morning, I was surprised to find a technician at my front door. This guy was quick and analytical. My furnace was running again in the next two hours. I would rate the company- 5 stars

I am impressed with the follow up system of this home warranty company. They first ensured that the service request was being dealt with in a timely fashion. Next they checked back that I was satisfied with the repair work. Great!

Select cleared the acid test when their technician was able to arrange the parts and repair my dishwasher and I did not pay a penny for it. My switch from another home service company has been fruitful.

I am happy with select home service. They helped me in getting my pump replaced and making my pool operational. I do not write reviews but I am expressing my gratitude.

Honestly speaking I was never in favor of taking a home warranty. It was only when I saw my friends plight over the air conditioning failure did I realize my folly. I now recommend this service to my friends.

Except for the delay in answering my calls, my experience with Select home warranty has been good. My sump pump and geyser have given problems in the recent past but were well taken care off by the deputed technicians.

Absolutely the worst company out there. Would not even send a tech out to diagnose a problem with my refrigerator. Flat out denied!!! How could they? I have cancelled my policy and hope this business suffers. The customer service is a joke. Never a supervisor around. NEVER returns calls. A bunch of crooks.

I filed a claim when my water heater broke. The technician who arrived the next day spent some time on analysing the fault. He actually showed me what had gone wrong. He fixed the root cause first and the balance repair was easy for him.

I lodged a claim on Monday and the technician was out by Wednesday. Having never used the home warranty before, I was amazed at the sharp skill set and knowledge of the expert. Within no time he repaired the equipment and had it running. Pleasant experience.

I took this home warranty in the month of April. Since then I had to use the service twice. The first one required the house to be rekeyed and I must say it was a superb service provided. The second was the Garage door not opening and the technician set it right the next day when he was able to arrange for the spare parts. Happy with the outcome
