Buyer beware. This company is lousy, they do not disclose fees up front, they hire shoddy unprofessionals to do work and they take too long to dispatch services. Do not use them, I guarantee you will regret it. Remember you get what you pay for, consider another warranty company if you want it done right. See photos of work from a plumber they recommended Sawmaw Services and would not make it right.
You pay for pool coverage, but almost nothing about the pool is covered. Not the heat pumps, booster pumps, or even the water pumps are covered. What do they cover? What am I paying for? I made a claim on my fridge. They tell me it could be the condenser but that it's not covered. I'm assuming they only cover ice cubes and floaties. This entire place is a scam. I want to forget about them but the only reason I'm posting this is that I might save someone from getting swindled.
They never ever answer the phone in the US.
They do not cover any claims but they do stall you out for 2 days and tell you whatever you claim is not covered. Trash company Do not do it to yourself...RUN AWAY
My plumber contacted select home warranty after I had a consultation. My plumber told them you can expect a little bit of leakage after the water heater breaks. They told me that it was a leak, and they don't fix leaks. I let them know that a leak wasn't the problem, They then had someone call me the next day, to try to lowball me. He told me the most his company could possibly pay would be $500. I paid $473 for The policy, with a $75 deductible. Best case scenario, I pay them no matter what.
I was contacted by phone within 30 minutes after submitting the claim. The operator reviewed my claim, asked some questions to get some additional information about my problem. She was helpful and pleasant to speak with. Within minutes of the end of the call I received a conformation email. Very pleased with the service so far.
Nathan was knowledgeable and did not "beat around the bush". People live busy lives and the process, rates and contract description was clear and concise. We completed the transaction within 20 minutes! I just cancelled my contract with American Homeshield simply because of their unacceptable treatment of myself as a customer. No one seemed to care about my predicament, having had my dishwasher out of service for now on its 3rd week! I hope and wish certainly that Select Home Warranty values customer service!
I will be contacting the BBB first thought I'd try and warn anyone out there do not give this company any money. Tried claiming 2 things. Was told no. They have a loop hole written in fine print on everything and why the claim shall be denied. Do not use them. They may only let a claim threw on tuesday between 1 and 2 pm durring a full moon. RIP off company designed to make someone rich.
We have used Select Home Warranty for the last three home purchases. Our first home we ended up filing a furnace claim, a dishwasher claim, and a AC claim. All three were taken care of in a timely manner. The second home we never needed to use our warranty. And, now on home #3 we are filing our first claim after purchasing the warranty 5 months ago. I called at 11pm Central time and my call was returned in less than ten minutes. The CSR was polite and prompt. Thanks again!
At first it was attractive cheaper than others for the same service. I left American Home Shield because of higher cost. When I joined select home warrantee5 months ago, I filed for two services. This company's responses is terrible. Two complaints never taking care of yet they charging me monthly payments. When I got fed up with their lack of care. I decide to cancel then the surprise was charging me $75 for canceling. So I paid these scampers for 5 months with but no service and rob me of $ 75. Believe people you get what you pay for. Do Not have a policy with this company it is a waste of your money.
I am going back to AHS. It is more money but worth it.
Great info and many options to choose from allowing a tailored effect that helped in the process. The agent gave plenty of options based on time and coverage and walked me thought the process of submitting a claim. Very competitive service call fees and over all coverage.
We had an intermittent problem with the cooling in our fridge/freezer. I processed the claim by phone. A repairman came out the next evening- super convenient. He was very nice. In the end the cost of the repair was worth more than the value of the fridge. We will end up replacing it and get reimbursed for the value of the fridge, which was really low. That was the only not great part, but it was probably accurate for a 16 year old refrigerator. By far the best part was the quick appointment with the knowledgeable, friendly repair person.
Called a customer service representative for repairing a garage door opener and the rep was very knowledgeable, courteous and responsive in answering any questions I had about the claim. Received an email in a short time summarizing the service call with pending details on a specific time for a technician to service the garage door opener. Great experience so far.
These people are a scam, please beware. They deny claims, refuse to cance your policy and when they do they charge you for cancelling. That is how they make money, by scaming customers. When you call them--I spent days and hours trying to reach someone to cancel--they drop the call, in other words, they don't want to talk to you. I cannot say enough what a nightmare it has been and we've only had them for about 5 months but i am thankful we got rid of them.
Just collecting your premium but won't get any service as they always say this is not covered. Paying for the combo plan which covers everything as they mentioned on the plan but it comes to repair but they would say 'it's not covered' so stay away from this company!
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.
I'm pleased with the quick response of the claims that I've filed to date. Though I was not initially informed that the limits to my coverage increase over time, I'm satisfied with their quick responses and good follow up.
I have been with this company for 8 months. First time I called in the 2nd month about black specks coming from my kitchen faucet. They denied the claim stating it was a maintenance issue. 2nd time I called about my built in microwave not working. They agreed to pay me $95 when a replacement cost was $700. They told me because my unit was more than 10 years old, that was all they could pay me. I asked if my water heater or ac unit broke down, if I would only get a prorated reimbursement; they said no.
I am unsure. I have little confidence that my policy will cover any needed future repairs.
WARNING: If youre in the market for a home warranty, please DO NOT choose Select Home Warranty. They are a scam of a business! Ive been going round and round with them for MONTHS to get a technician out to service my refrigerator that is not getting cold enough due to motor issues. You can never get a hold of anyone via phone and if you submit a claim online nothing happens. Email responses take a minimum of 5 days all for them to tell me its not covered! My contract clearly states that the refrigerator is covered! BUYER BEWARE. Take your business elsewhere! www.selecthomewarranty.com
In january they sent out a contractor at 10:00 at night in a car full of kids to examine my bathroom leek. The man took my $75 and never came back so now waiting almost a year and getting a run around i cancelled my policy and they charged me another $75. Now $150 later and numerous monthly permiums spent still do not have this fixed. They are the biggest rip offs out there. Did i mention im a disabled scenior on Social security. Shame on them
I contacted customer service about my plumbing problem. They explained the policy and told me it could be about 24 to 48 hours before I could get someone. I called back told them I had a handicapped. Husband and needed the problem fixed ASAP... They gave me another option and I was pleased
Answer: Scam. Do not trust. They lie and will NOT cover your items.
Answer: Based on Internet searches but quickly found out that they are a SCAM.
Answer: After filing 5 claims, and one tech that wanted to pad his pocket resulting in me fixing my own leak in a toilet at my expense after paying their tech. And another tech wanting to get my pool setup for summer at150. More than I already gave for deductible she didn't fix my pump or water line to my pool. Both denied by select home Warrenty. And 3 more that I paid their techs for then had to fix it myself. Now my freezers compressor is out and they took money out of my bank account without my permission after saying they would go ahead and fix the freezer well guess what they declined it. And said it wasn't covered when in the contract it says it is. List all meat and others because of 3 weeks if waiting for them
Answer: They are fast when signing you but so slow in responding and they are a total scam had to pay out of pocket for my leak repair that they should fix
Answer: Stay away from this company, get your money back ASAP. The longer you wait, the less money you get back.
