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.

In exchange for a $75 administration fee, they also offer a pro-rated refund if the initial 30 days have expired.

Cancellation Policy

Select reserves the right to cancel the service contract in the event of fraudulent conduct or misrepresentations by the customer, failure to make the required payments, or upon agreement.

The customer may cancel the agreement within 30 days from the order date of the agreement and will be entitled to a full refund only if no service has been provided under the contract.

After 30 days, the customer may receive a pro-rated refund for the non-discounted annual plan cost. The customer will be charged a $75 cancellation fee, plus any service expenses incurred by Select Home Warranty.

I spoke with a representative who was very knowledgeable about the varying levels of service and went over each policy option with me in detail. He was very patient and answered all my questions until we could choose the right policy that fit my exact needs.

My first call was to find out the information I felt I needed to make a decision to switch our home warranty plan to a new company after being with that initial company for over 15 years. Richard was very helpful in explaining the coverage, premium plans and discounts available. His offering to send me the contract papers with a preliminary decision to sign up with Select, noting I would have 30 days to make a final decision or receive my first year premium back in full was what prompted me to make the choice to select Select.

Steven was informative and helpful. He assisted me in arriving at the best deal & one that could not be matched by the competitors I was shopping. Excited to begin my warranty service!

I am only at the beginning of getting a claim covered. My outside ac unit quit working on a weekend. Since it's 90 here, I asked the rep to expedite my claim. I called Monday and was informed they couldn't locate a contractor in my area and I could hire one and get reimbursed if the claim was covered . The contractor I hired came the same day to diagnose and spoke with claims rep. The claims rep has forwarded to their approval dept and I will have an update by tomorrow morning. I'm very appreciative that I didn't have to wait for a contractor with no ac. So far 5 stars for the representatives helpfulness and courtesy.

I was very happy and satisfied with my sales agent, Moe H. He was very courteous, knowledgeable and took the time to explain all of the intricate details of my plan. He extended all available discounts and offers allowing me to discover and take advantage of many perks.
