My experience with "Select Home Warranty" has been absolutely great so far. I recently had issues with both my dishwasher and conventional oven in the last 6 months. Filing the claims was quick and entirely hassle-free. The company promptly sent out professional technicians who diagnosed and fixed both appliances without delay. I only paid my standard service fee, saving me tons of money in unexpected repair costs. Their customer service is excellent, and the coverage provides incredible peace of mind. I highly recommend them!
Bruce was awesome and was very informative in helping me find the right plan. Prices are affordable and competitive and there was some flexibility to negotiate as they want your business! In comparing other competitors, the coverages are just as good, and they even added a free roof coverage for me in the event I have any leaks.
I just wanted to thank Ryan for the help over the phone. Had some questions to make sure I was getting the right coverage and he answered them with no problem. If there is someone thinking about getting house warranty, it's something I would definitely recommend. Don't go through the hassle. Get warranty and forget about it.
Ryan was wonderful to talk to. He explained all coverages in great detail as well as "add on's", pricing, et al. A+++ to Ryan! I had just cancelled my former policy, went on-line and called Select with 9.9 stars. Look forward to a very long association and feel a lot safer already.
Sales Rep Connor is fast, responsive, very easy to communicate and very good at following up. It's a pleasure to have him as my customer care Rep. He explained to me all the products and promotions and help me to pick a one that fits me well. Thank you Connor.
My electrical repair was handled quickly and professionally from start to finish. I called and was able to schedule an appointment for the very next day, which was a huge relief. The electrician arrived right on time and got straight to work. The diagnosis was quick, and the repair itself was completed efficiently without any mess left behind. What stood out most was how easy the whole experience was.
Always friendly and courteous customer service reps. Coverage is very much like other top home warranty companies, but more affordable. And, unlike other services we've subscribed to, Select offers the option for monthly payments. Which is great for the home budget!
The customer service is helpful and excellent in fulfilling my request. Give me more options to choose and the best possible discount I can get that is available from the company. He lower my monthly premium lower than AHS premium.
I bought the policy more than a month ago. I haven't filed any claims yet, but when I contacted the agents with questions, they were professional and courteous. They made sure that I was satisfied with the answer.
Called Select Home Warranty for a quote to cover my California residence. Lucas was very knowledgeable and professional in relaying the information I needed to make a decision. I signed up for a year of their Platinum Coverage.
Signed up for the 5 year plan, guaranteed same price as long as I want. Prorated refund if not satisfied or moving. Hard to beat that. Save over my existing plan enough that it was an easy decision. Easy to set up. Professional phone call from start to finish.
I was not initially unimpressed with my first call. The representative made matter-of-fact recommendations for my coverage. After reviewing the information provided, I was able to make an informed decision that feels comfortable.
Great experience talking to Sam! There was no pressure to sign up and he answered all of my questions. I feel I got a great deal and I definitely am happy I decided to switch to Select Home Warranty!!!
Representative was very informative and helpful when signing up. Made it easy to sign up and was patient in answering all my questions and doubt. He had various plans to offer that fit my budget and needs.
After going through and talking to several companies and calling back again, I chose Select Home Warranty because of the integrity of the sales dept. I questioned them over and over and was just waiting for them to contradict themselves or have them offer something, and find out they were lying. Many companies out there, in my quest for the right choice, did just that. Select Home Warranty stood out from the pack with confidence and, better yet, integrity which is so hard to find anymore. I made the right choice and happy to have them protecting my home.
My experience with the company thus far has been great. Salesman was informative, helpful and provided great service. I was able to have my questions answered thoroughly. Hopefully our relationship continues to be a rewarding experience and not a regret.
The process of enrolling was very smooth and the person I spoke with, Jake, was very cordial and provided answers to my questions. He suggested a discounted two-year plan which I accepted. This seems to be a good deal. Thank you Jake! My sincere hope is if I ever need help, the process be as smooth as the enrolment!
Sean was very helpful and upfront with every detail of my policy and what is/isn’t covered. Made it easy and made the most sense. I feel confident in being covered with my home warranty. My coverage is better than my previous coverage in both out of pocket costs and all that is covered. Being able to cover based on on total cap per year and not specific to how much I’m covered on 1 appliance makes it feel worth it.
Excellent customer service. Greg went over value packages that maximized value and added 6 months free for signing for the 3 year deal. And then one more month for free for the review! I recommend this service.
The gentleman that helped me did everything he could to give me the best discount and pricing. As a new widow of a veteran trying to keep myself on budget he did a good job. He gave me several options to be able to afford the plan that I wanted.
Kyle was a wonderful salesperson, listened, and got me a fantastic deal. I chose the platinum plan for the most comprehensive coverage which includes my pool and the roof. I'm paying half of what my current home warranty company was raising my renewal rates to. And, to top it off, my rates are locked in for 6 years and then as long as I stay with Select! I couldn't be more pleased.
The representative was very helpful. He offered various options and considered my age and financial status, as well as veteran status. I was impressed with his ability to answer any questions that I asked. I was successful in securing a home warranty that is comfortable/affordable/adequate for my needs.
The agent was very knowledgeable and left me very satisfied with the information provided. He went through every question I had. I would recommend to all my friends. I’m very happy either way, the outcome.
Great experience setting up my home warranty with Jake! Thank you! He was able to get me into a great plan with great coverage and the company offers great perks! I was surprised with everything he was able to provide me over the phone. Everything is covered in my house now, so I no longer have to worry in the near future about anything.
Very nice to work with lowered payment from the old companies. AHS BY HALF THANK THEM. Locked in for 3 years. Cut my service calls by 15$. Means allot to a senior citizen. Thanks again Jack. Awesome service. Talk to you in future. Dusty
Connor is my Account Representative. He was very nice and helpful. He answered all our questions. I have used a competitor company for 11 years and never talked to a rep that pleasant. He was very quick getting information to us. He responded immediately when we sent an email with questions.
I’ve had a very good experience with Select Home Warranty. My service request was acknowledged quickly, the contractor arrived on time, and the repair was completed the same day. What stood out was how easy the process was — no runaround, no upselling, just straightforward service. If you want a warranty company that communicates clearly and handles issues without drama, Select is worth considering.
My rep answered my questions and the process was very easy to come on board and leave my other home warranty company. My other company's rates are outrageous so this made the decision to come to Select a warranty a no-brainer.
It’s my pleasure speaking to Jefferson (JP). He was polite and did an excellent job explaining the best coverage and promotion. I am very impressed and satisfied with the knowledge he has.. Thank you, JP
I spoke with Cameron from Select Home Warranty and he was an exceedingly nice sales rep. He basically told me everything the policy covered and the price and he did not push any extras on me at all. I really appreciated his manner and I would do business with him again.
My representative, Tony, made the sign-up process simple. He was patient with answering my many questions. He was calm and polite, and made me feel assured that contracting with Select Home was the right move for me. The transaction process was quick and easy. I received my documents by email just as promised by Tony during our call. It was a great experience, and I am glad to now be a Select Home customer.
My Sales Rep was Wayne E. He was very professional and proficient in assisting me in making my decisions. I appreciated that he explained all the different options to help me make my choice. I did not feel pressured and am quite happy that I encountered Wayne. Thank you for the 5-Star Service.
Dylan was very helpful in explaining what was covered and what options I had in warranty plans. It is also helpful that plans don’t automatically renew in case you aren’t satisfied and want a change.
Glad to have your representative Ryan to guide me through the process. He is knowledgeable, professional, polite and patient. I was happy and satisfied and ordered the policy. Switched from Old Republic to Select Home Warranty.
The representative was very courteous and knowledgeable and very professional. I enjoy doing business with Jeff And made the whole transaction really fast and smooth, and I highly recommend them.
We have had nothing but good experiences from SHW. They have saved us a ton of money and wonder why more people do not get home warranties. If you are in the market SHW is the place. Their online process is easy, the companies they work with are always top notch, and the value you get for the money will be worth it many times over.
This is my second year with Select Home warranty and I've been very pleased with coverage and support I've received. I highly recommend Select Home Warranty. I found them to be very competitive and more than willing to work with me on selecting the right home warranty.
It was a pleasure working with Ryan to finalize my warranty program. The phone conversation went very well as I had a lot of questions. All were answered clearly and concisely. Ryan went above and beyond to make the deal hard to resist, especially compared to my existing warranty from a competitor.
I'm a new customer and can't no longer do my own home service due to my age and medical problems. Customer Service Rep was excellent, the Rep. gave me good service with wide range of options for my home, Including senior and military discount. I had review other home warranty companies, but SHW beat them all other competitors on Service call fee, monthly payment, and plan options. Thank you Rep.
Sam was my rep and he was very helpful. Very pleasant and spent time helping me figure out what plan to go with. I really appreciate all his help. He was trying different ways for me to save money and I really appreciate that times are really tough right now and I do appreciate everything he did for me. Thanks again Sam.
Speaking in response to my initial contact with Select Home Warranty, I’m very pleased with the clear and courteous customer service. Jim explained my options, without being pushy. And I’m saving nearly half of what I paid with my former Warranty.
The person I talked on the phone was very helpful. She was able to answer all my questions. She was very knowledgeable about the product I was interested in. I recommend Select Home Warranty to all my friends.
I had a most pleasant experience working with your sales representative, I think his name is Conner. Not only was very knowledgeable when describing your various plans and options, but he was very warm and friendly, and I did not for one moment feel pressured by him, as is typical of many sales representatives. Judging from my initial experience with your company, I highly recommend choosing Select Home Warranty.
Very fast and easy to set up coverage. I have had several companies for home warranty so I am excited to try out Select Home Warranty. Happy doing business with a well known company. Thank you for your help.

Solid service and quick turnaround. Communication was clear throughout the process, and everything was handled efficiently and professionally. I appreciated the attention to detail and how quickly the team followed up to ensure everything was completed.
I called in on June 12, 2025 and paid up front for 12 months and got two additional months. The plan would have to wait for 30 days and that was fine. I called in for the copy of contract and other information in case of a request for service. You provided it quickly and I was able to print.
