Quick turn around

I spoke with Jonathan Sullivan and got the best deal available! This is superior coverage to that offered from American Home Shield and with the deal, it was about the same price.

Mr. David Walker, explained everything thoroughly without any pressure, and got me the best rate he could possibly receive. It was a pleasure talking to a person who is totally professional and non-pressure.

I have written to the BBB and others in regard to this company. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE AND BUY A HOME WARRANTY FROM THEM, They do not honor it and it will take months to get something as simple as a dryer fixed, which it never was and I cancelled the service so I wouldn't be out any more money. LOOK VERY CLOSELY at any of there trickster fine print warranty. You will end up not only paying the deductible but the monthly payment and then almost the entire repair. RUN, DON'T WALK FROM THIS COMPANY. You could buy into it anyway, and I'll be looking for your complaint down the road.

Still Unsure
February 8, 2020

I purchased a 5 year warranty through this company as it was cheaper than 2-10 home warranty and 2-10 raised their prices. I had an HVAC person come out and essentially tell me I need to replace my entire unit and there's no repairing an unit this old that it won't fix the problem. 2-10 would've replaced it, but Select Home Warranty only offered $500 and found specific language in his write-up that suddenly makes my HVAC unit ineligible. They thought it was an hydro HVAC system which it isn't, so whoever is reading the reports doesn't know much about the mechanics of these things. There was a long back and forth between the plumber and my home warranty company because my plumber was upset with how they interpreted his report. Eventually I just gave up since it was going into fall/winter.

Fast forward several months, I put in a plumbing claim on Friday and the plumber is here the following Thursday, I'm okay with that timing, but others may not. Ultimately we'll see what the plumber says and if the home warranty company denies any repairs for some unforeseen reason. If they do, I'm definitely cancelling. So the jury is still out for how I feel about SHW.

While have had a few hiccups with doing business, overall satisfied with service. However, having to put in 100 characters when I was able to make my review in less does not thrill me.

Plumbing issue
February 8, 2020

Customer service very friendly and responsive to getting technician out to access the problem. Unfortunate that first one Daniels pluming came right out and collected his $75 and said he would have to get approval for parts but would only take 15-20 mins to fix problem once he got approval. 3 weeks went by as I called Daniels several times with same answer "I have to speak to Daniel but he is busy on another client call" etc etc. same excuse each time. Finally called Daniels again and was hung up on, called back and went to voicemails and left message. No return call so called Select and customer service apologized profusely and cancelled Daniels and is getting me another technician to come out and fix the problem hope they take Daniels off their approved list. Will be sending reviews on Daniels on Yelp as well next. Select was great. Larry Lucas
