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 was told when I purchased this warranty that the service would come out within 24 to 48 hours. it turns out that the technician will call me within 24 to 48 hours. Than an appointment will be made to come to my house. this is totally unacceptable. I have no hot water and I am looking at a possible 5 to 6 days, maybe longer, before someone will come out. my previous warranty would have a 48 hour window period. this is my first claim

My garbage disposal started make loud metal hitting noise, Had call to request service for garbage disposal that I had claimed almost 6 months ago and had it replaced new one. The select home warranty sent me a email in less than 10 minutes that they approved my claim. Let me feel It is very good home warranty company.

I would give a zero if allowed for a rating. This is the worst company we have ever dealt with in 50 years. The customer service is poor, they leave you on hold forever. Our claim with them for electric issues was denied 4 times after the electric company was given an approval. Don't waste your money, look at BBB for reviews, not good.

I used them two times last year. So I am renewing for another year. Service companies they use are very dependable.

My garage doors would not open past 2 feet. I went online and placed a claim in addition to calling them. My claim was denied before they ever knew what the problem was. They did not send out technician to check the problem; they told me to get someone to fix it. (With other companies I have found that they like to send their own people to try to repair the problem. ) Then upon sending them the itemized bill and a copy of the safety inspection from the repair service, I did not hear from them in the designated time that they were supposed to review my appeal. I called them after almost a week, and they said that the attachments did not come through. But no one bothered to call me to... Read More
