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.

Doing the right thing even if no one is looking is integrity. I was able to work with James, Select’s repairman, when I had issues with my sink. While he’s checking the problem, I got a call from my husband stating that he can’t pick my son at the school due to some emergency meetings. So without even thinking, I told James that I will leave him first to get my son and be back in less than an hour. When I get back, James is still in the premise waiting. The sink problem was fixed and he already cleaned up his mess. I thank you James for your integrity!

The staff is friendly and helpful. I had a couple of questions after just purchasing my policy, and someone called me right back, and I mean in a matter of minutes. What a pleasant experience!

As I searched for a replacement warranty plan on the internet, I came across Select Home. Select home has a very fair price for coverage offered. Not only was the contract price much lower, so was the deductible! Additionally, I am getting two extra months just by prepaying the year. That’s just slightly above a 50% savings overall for a peace of mind. Highly recommend.

Abraham was thorough explaining the warranty. So far I have had no problems. I am confident that I made the right choice. I hope their tech's are as good as he said they are if I should ever need them. Tom Broadway, NC

I was moving from another warranty company. Abraham understood my concern about payment and helped me resolve that and gain my business. Hope their customer service and retention team are equally passionate about keeping customers😊

This is to express my gratitude to the team who handled my claim last week. Last week was not the first time I submitted a claim. And as always, the experience is pleasant and satisfying. The representative on the phone is polite and the technician they sent is professional and courteous. They, as usual exceeded my expectations. Applause to Select for training them to do what they do.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Select for hiring competent and smart people like John. I called this morning as I was upset when I learned that the leaking on my roof is not covered by my plan. He patiently waited for me to be finished with my rants and when he started explaining the plan I have and the coverage, I started to feel ashamed of my behavior. He gave me options and explained intelligently what they can do for me at the moment. Tho I had to pay an x amount of dollars for my roof, I still would like to say thank you John for not talking back at me and for not hanging up on me.
