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.

Just bought a house and a home warranty was included. I added options to the standard warranty but there was an omission of one of the options when I received the contract. I advised my RE agent and she made a call. Problem solved!

Absolutely horrible. Horrific! Among the worst companies with which I have ever had the displeasure of dealing. Our AC unit went up over a week ago. They have been playing a game with numerous delays even after the contractor confirmed a new compressor was needed and that the unit is out of warranty. Several phone calls result in extremely long hold times and nonsense about awaiting on the "approval committee."
