The call was confusing
December 14, 2019

I talked with customer service about a new claim but she kept trying to tell me the decision that was made on an old claim from July 2019. She was talking about an air conditioner claim and I was talking about a water heater claim. Finally she made a new claim for the water heater. This was confusing

Fairly Straightforward
December 14, 2019

Fairly straightforward pricing. Reviews seem decent. They did try to upsell multi year. No review of the company themselves as of yet.

My tenants were having trouble with the stove not working. I placed the claim and the technician came on time and serviced the stove. It was done efficiently and was not a big deal. I was grateful and did not need to worry about it. My tenants paid the service call fee and deducted from the rent. No problem there either. Good service and no snags. Just great for me!

Prompt reply

I received a courteous and prompt reply from the warranty team. They were especially sensitive to the fact that we did not have any hot water. Would definitely recommend

Great

The rep was really helpful, knowledgeable and convincing. A little pushy but I wanted to buy a policy so it wasn't annoying at all. He was great.

I had my first claim since signing up with them and I must say I couldn't be happier. Granted, it was a very simple plumbing issue that was resolved in minutes. I don't know if everything is as efficient. But I called this morning, my claim was forwarded to the plumber within a couple of hours and late this afternoon I had it fixed. Wow. I had one other home warranty before, with far worse claims service. That said, it's been a nightmare to get information from SelectHW. I signed up some 8 or 9 months ago and they promised me a whole bunch of stuff. I never received any information in the mail and they never confirmed the free service visit, etc. Luckily, the person I talked with today was very nice and took care of it all. If today's experience is any guide, I was very happy. I didn't give them 5 stars because of the initial difficulties.

Good problem solving. There was a problem over the weekend with dispatching the technician and getting him a work order. After several phone calls and texts the problem is solved and the work order issued.

Select Home Warranty is the most affordable home warranty company out there today! We have been pricing and comparing for two weeks. They cover more for less and even have a better deal if you pay upfront for a longer term. The packages are lower priced and the service call is lower. Tom Brown the rep who helped us went the extra mile to save us more while getting more coverage. We'll be working with this company for the long run!
Thanks Tom Brown for the excellent service!

Very disappointed
December 11, 2019

I'm now in my 4th week without a working dishwasher. A technician did come out, however he failed to diagnose the problem. Then called two days later to say he couldn't finish the repair. This was after the $125 service fee! So now I'm back to square one still no working dishwasher and still no technician! But I do get an email daily telling me they are working on dispatching a technician. Going into week 5!

Great Customer Service
December 13, 2019

The operator was very helpful and understanding regarding my issue that needed immediate attention. My plumbing was malfunctioning due to a tree root breaking the pipes, luckily I was able to contact a local technician and Select Warranty will refund me the cost.
