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’ve been in my house for one year and needed to renew my home warranty. So last night I got on the Internet to do a little homework. I came across Select Home Warranty and discovered that they were number 1 in my area for a home warranty ‘s. This morning I signed up with this company and saved a lot of money compared to what it was going to cost me to re-sign up with the original warranty company that I had used when I purchased the home a year ago, And the warranty that I got is the executive VIP warranty which covers a lot more than I had on the warranty with the other company plus I got my roof covered and spa covered which I did not have with the other company and my policy was still...

I am very happy with my Select home warranty! The customer service representative, Lucas Smart, was excellent! He explained all of the options available to me including discounts for seniors, veterans, and multi-year plans. I received excellent value from a highly-rated company. As such, I highly recommend Select!

I have been pondering Select Home Warranty for two months. I received a text and returned the call to Mr. John Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan was most helpful and informative. I chose the Platinum Care Plan and added a few Optional Coverage items. Mr. Sullivan explained each one in detail and to my complete satisfaction. He then offered me a couple of "pay plans" and I opted a single payment of $1742.81 based on my Military Service and my age of 80 years. In summary, Mr. Sullivan is an outstanding, customer service oriented representative of Select Home Warranty. Thank you.
