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 the case of Select’s yearlong base-level contract, no home inspection is required prior to full coverage.

For the sake of education and peace-of-mind, this company provides a sample contract and quote calculator on their website.

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.

The Customer service representative for Select Home Warranty was pleasant and so very helpful. She asked me a few pertinent questions and quickly supplied my Claim Number and assured me that someone would be in touch with me concerning my roof within 48 hours. I was very pleased and will recommend Select Home Warranty to my family and friends!

The associate's name was Alice. She was patient with me as I searched for some of the required info she was asking for...like serial number and model number (not always within eye shot). This is the second tie in 3 years that I reached out to SHW for service on an appliance. Both times, the associate was easy to work with and nonjudgemental of the claim I was making. Now if the claim is handled promptly, I'll be glad to let other customers know.

Select Home Warranty does everything possible to deny your claim or pay as little as possible. However the repair company they send is very professional and knows their stuff.
