      I purchased a home warranty, was told numerous times after the first 30 days of having the policy, i would be able to make a claim, more than 30 days after my agreement began i had an ac issue. I paid the amount to have a contractor come out. I was then told, i had to wait an additional 30 days to have anything replaced with my warranty. I had a long call with a man named *** at ******* number listed on their site. He agreed that the language was unclear and that he would send an e-mail to someone in his department, I was not able to speak with anyone but was told after 60 days i would be eligible for replacements. I find this very deceitful especially due to the fact that when i purchased the warranty i was assured if anything happened after 30 days, i would be eligible for repairs or if anything was unrepairable, it would be replaced. This is not the issue, the language in the agreements state 30 days after start date of agreement and they are not standing by their contract.

      I paid $2100 up front for a home warranty. Each time I submit a claim they refuse to send a technician. They just send an email stating that it cost to much to fix. Ive ask several times for them to send a technician. They refuse only offering $75.00. The first incident was for a hot water heater, the second incident was for a garbage disposal. *** spoken to several supervisors and they continue to send anyone out to determine the problem with my appliances

      I am rejecting this response because:when speaking with the company I told them I was not happy with the service because this is the second claim in which they did not send a technician. The first was my hot water heater and the sect was my garbage disposal. *****, the rep stated that I would get reimbursed for what I paid for the water heater as well as the disposal however when I sent the receipt for the water heater it was ignored, only the garage disposal was accepted from the company. This company says whatever to appease the customer at the time with no follow through. Once again, they are not covering what is in the contract.

      The consumer rejected our response stating that they did not hear anything with their water heater claim.

      Unfortunately what the consumer submitted with regards to their water heater claim was an estimate invoice. The consumer needs to submit a paid invoice showing that everything has been completed. Once received we may proceed with the reimbursement process.

      They told me they will cover the plumbing and electrical in the house. I called and told them that the shower faucet was frozen. The cylinder that goes into the plumbing is clogged. I asked that they change out the faucets to the style that we choose. I am a disabled veteran and they are trying to fraud us.

      We filed a complaint earlier regarding the fact that it took over 3 weeks for this company to send a repairman to our home--##********. The company has now told us that they could not repair the unit and would not replace it.They said they would send a settlement check in the amount of $125. Said they mailed it on July 5, 2022. We have not received the check and all they do is ask us to wait. We asked for electronic payment instead of sending a paper check since they did not keep their commitment to have a check to us in 3 weeks. This offer is declined.This company does not keep its commitment and has very poor customer service.***************************

      SHW never addresses the issue at hand. The check, they say was mailed on July 5 and would take **** business days. I have called consistently to let them know. Each time they say wait until this day and that day. I asked that the settlement be sent electronically to no avail. Obviously the mail system they use is insufficient.

      Yes a check did arrive yesterday. I don't know if this is the original check or the one that was sent after the stop payment was made.

      I have had three open claims in September 2021 with select home warranty and they have yet to fix any of my issues. My children do without electric upstairs and we have no heating or air it is almost 100 in our home and we have called numerous times to get a technician and nothing has ever been done. They do not return calls and promise you a call within two days and promise you a technician and nobody ever shows up. We had a claim for a hot water heater we were told we needed to replace they would reimburse so when we submitted the receipt for our new hot water heater we were then denied a reimbursement they said it wasnt done correctly after we did everything the customer service representative had told us to do before she told us to go purchase one and submit the receipt. I had also been told from my own technician for my heating and air to have them come out and diagnose it the heating and air guy done everything he could with the unit it still does not work and they have still not sent anybody to fix or replace the unit.

      A claims manager reached out to the consumer regarding the complaint filed through the BBB. The consumer was upset that a technician for their electrical claim or AC unit was not dispatched and then their claim was denied for freon leak and rusted motor. The claims manager informed the consumer that once they submit proof that those repairs were made we will be able to open a new claim and dispatch a technician. The claims manager also informed the consumer that they will have a new electrical claim opened. The consumer did not accept and requested a full refund. The consumer was explained that they are not eligible for a full refund but can refund them back the last 2 months installment. The consumer did not accept and requested termination of service with no cancellation fee. The claims manager informed the consumer that they can go ahead and have that done.

      I submitted a claim for air conditioning repair, claim # ******** policy # *******, the ac tech said it would be around $2000.00 to replace the compressor, and freon ect. Compressor froze. Warranty company has denied the claim due to I have no previous maintenence records. I have told them repeatedly I bought the home and that's the first time turning on the ac. The woman whom I bought from is deceased, there are no previous maintenance records. I am disabled and travel for treatment and July 5 2022 was the first time I turned on the ac since buying the property. I have called them repeatedly 7/5/22, 7/7/22, 7/8/22, 7/14/22, 7/16/22, 7/19/22, 7/21/22. Rep has advised me they will only reimburse $150.00. Due to me not having any maintenance records. I have modified my home due to disability, and recently was able to live in my home, now 110 weather it has been hard living here. Workers have worked here using a portable swamp cooler. I know Select Home Warranty will give the sane spill as they have other complaints, a generic letter, which is an email that is automatically generated. They have not reached out to me. I have went so far as to beg them for help, which was hard for me to do, but 110 heat will make you grovel.When I took out the Home Warranty I was told no problem, we will take care of you. I had a garbage disposal problem. They reimbursed me for the disposal but I had to pay $365.00 to a plumber to install it. I don't know how this company can cheat people and make false promises. I wasn't asking for a new ac. Only the 2k to fix this one. I look forward to getting this resolved. And also the generic response from Select Home Warranty to reply to my complaint that the contract this is what it reads. I have no maintenance records and like I said purchased my home from a woman who is now deceased There are no records. I hope this issue is resolved in favor of my ac getting repaired, but my gut tells me they will skirt around it. No integrity

      After a lot of effort the plumber gives an estimate for $1,080 and Select Home Select Home Warranty contract states that a service fee will be charged per "issue." Sales said a service fee has to be paid per contractor that is dispatched. I have a fixture problem and leak which can be handled by the same plumber. However, first Select Home Warranty tries to make me pay 2 service fees, even though they will only send one plumber, one time. A manager said pay only one fee and then email me and I will help if there is a problem. Select Home Warranty approves the $400 limit for fixtures according to contract but work requires also plumbing which has a $500 limit which they are ignoring. I have called and sent emails to the manager who told me he would help and have no response from him or the other reps I spoke to. I was told it would take up to 72 hours and it has been more than that.

      On June 21, 2022, I contacted Select Home Warranty LLC (the Company) regarding my washer machine stop working. The Company collected the service charge fee of $75 then contacted **************** (GE) for repair. ** came to out to my home twice 7/9 & 7/22 in attempts to repair the unit; however, the machine was declared un-repairable by the technician. As of today, almost 2 months later, we are still without a washer machine and have been given excuses for the replacement cost for the washer. We have in writing on July 31, 2022, that the Company would respond within 24 - 48 hours, but to no avail. I feel that two months is more than a reason time to have this issue resolved. I made several calls to the Company and get no where or put on hold for an hour just to be disconnected. This needs to be resolved.

      May 2022 $150 dedecutable + $450 Plan annual Home Warranty - Cover Home (certain appliances certain parts)Not honoring a covered part claim. Customer Reps leave me on hold for an extreme amount of time and or hang up. Reps won't give any information regarding the claim except it being in review and a wait time of 1-2 bus days. I have to call in everyday to spawn action regarding the claim. Else, the review teams do nothing.It seems they only work when prompted. The same issue has two claim numbers. The tech previously sent did not properly diagnose my A/C unit. Select is doing anything they can to not pay for the covered part.Select is giving me a long run around. I had to hire my own tech to diagnose the A/C unit, send them the diagnostic, confirm with another tech select sent to my home,to confirm it's the same issue. The tech then confirmed the non-working part, then ordered the part. Now Select is telling me they're looking for a part everyday for a week. The tech they sent to my home ordered the part within a few hours! They have lied to me several times telling me they didn't have the part numbers and or model number of the unit when I emailed it to them twice!Current Claim number: ******** Previous Claim number: ********

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
