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.

More times then not i have found myself calling just to ask questions on things in my home. I am a new house owner and they have come down on one occasion to fix a flickering light and I love the confidence they have given me in being a homeowner.

I submitted a claim on my range that the control board had gone out. They contacted an appliance repair in my area and they came out the next day,12/27/17. They sent an estimate for the repair of about $350. I heard nothing else until I called the repair people. they said select home warranty was supposed to call me. I called them on 1/8/18 and sent them an email on 1/29 when I still hadn't heard from them On 2/1 I got an email telling me someone would call in 24/48 hours. I got a call from a lady that said they would pay $159 for the part but 0 for the installation, since installation was excluded by the contract.

I have been so happy with every claim that they have done for me. My wife and I really don't know how we would deal with our constant break downs without your service.

Our scheduled appointment was late by 2 hours! The work was done very well and he tested the roof making sure that the spot he patched was not leaking anymore.

My review is based on 3 claims, One on a microwave oven, one on a wall oven and one on a toilet that would not flush. Each professional sent out did a job better than expected and makes me confident in buying this warranty.

Best service I have ever had dealing with a contract! They always Nickle and dime me and in this case they can't! I give them the call fee and they handle and fix the rest. The work had a warranty too from another mishap. Excellent.

Now my policy is up for renewal and before I renewed I made a claim. They came in no time to fix the dish washer and my whole claim was handled with care. Suffice to say I will renew when they contact me.

My wife and I will give you the thumbs up for coming out in 5 days to fix the electric box and replacing half the circuit breakers that broke during a storm. This is why we signed up and glad you kept us informed during the process.

Mother board or whatever you would call the board in my refridgerator froze and broke. Never even knew this could happen. Appliance specialist ordered and job done was terrific.
