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.

Having a home warranty has become a necessity and having Select has been a blessing in disguise. They have saved me at least $1000 this past year and I love the service they provide.

We are so happy that we decided to use Select's warranty services starting one year ago. Since then we have had two fantastic claim service request calls. I am going to continue using them.

We recently bought our house in November. We discovered a leak under our kitchen sink and found it to be our garbage disposal. I called the 800 number and was advised that I would receive an email with the next steps. The old owners received the email and thankfully they are very nice and friendly and forwarded the email from Select Home Warranty to me for the next steps of my claim. I will check into Select Home Warranty having the correct information to send if there is another claim. The customer service rep was very friendly and helpful and the steps so far have been simple. I am in hopes that the refund is quick and painless as well. If I have any other feedback, I will be sure to... Read More

I switched to this company from my previous insurance company because it was more affordable and had great reviews but I was very dissatisfied with my very claim being denied when I was under the expression that all electrical issues related to my home are covered but to find out that the issue I have is light lantern that has detached from my home and is hanging by the wires causing me to fear it causing bigger issues I called this claim in only to learn I must spend more money to get something fixed I thought I had already paid for coverage so I advise to read every possible part of the contract so that when it comes time to use it you won’t have a surprise like I did 😔

This is my second year with Select Home Warranty. I used them a couple of times that first year and the sum savings covered the annual cost of the warranty. Although I hope I don't have to call them this year I am glad to have them available if I do.

I have the garage door replaced and once again it functions. Took one and a half weeks to get everything situated and complete. We are glad that we own this warranty now.

Select Home Warranty has denied every claim that I have submitted, despite the legitimacy of each claim. My current claim should be covered under my plan. My water heater is non-functional, and pouring water out onto the floor. It took over one week for a service person to come out to check on it. The service person they sent to check it said it cannot be repaired and must be replaced; however, Select Home Warranty denied coverage of the claim, calling it a leak and saying it is not covered. Now I am out $100 for the service call and still have to pay $500 for a new water heater. Select Home Warranty is a prime example of unethical and unscrupulous business practices, preying upon...

I'm in the real estate business and I have worked with Brad on several clients. Each client has sent me positive feedback on his dealings with them and happy clients means happy repeats. So thanks for the constant great service you provide.

As the wife of a handy man in the past I watch companies that are hired by Select and to this date they have never let me down. With so many warranty companies I am glad I used them.
