Wow. The worst. I bought a home warranty and had problems with my HVAC system 10 months in. I called Select Home Warranty and they werent able to find anyone to service my system. They suggested I find a company to complete the work, but said there were extra steps the contractor had to take to ensure their work was approved. Every contractor I spoke with charged $200+ on top of their normal fees to deal with a home warranty company. Apparently its near impossible to get paid by this company. And now they have completely denied my claim. Id choose another home warranty company. This place gets 0 out of 5 stars.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I have received a full refund, FINALLY!! but, the response from this company was a complete lie! I have more than 39 phone calls to Select Home Warranty and not one of them was answered nor were any phone calls returned.
You have people in a foreign country determining/approving/denying claims on thing they have no clue as to what they are! I file for Air Conditioning Fault (3-Claims in 5 days) all denied for dehumidifier not being covered, this was not what was submitted, then you drag your feet in refunding my purchase price, claiming "early termination" and $75 fee.
Select Home Warranty Is Defrauding thousands and thousands of people across the us on these same pretenses... However, I have now received a full refund and I intend on filing charges against Select Home Warranty with the ******** ********************************* Affairs.
SELECT HOME WARRANTY IS A FRAUDULENT COMPANY, NO, YOU DO NOT ANSWER CALLS NOR RETURN THEM....PERIOD!!

I been having trouble with this home warranty for a while now. I put in my first claim over a month ago and my problem is still not solved. I been going back and forth between representatives from Select Home Warranty and Premier Heating and Air. First, I want to say that it's very hard to communicate with the representatives from Select Home Warranty. Since the first day I submitted my claim, I had issues. Now I'm having an issue getting a new work order submitted to Premier Heating and Air so a technician can come to my property to fix my HVAC. from what I was told by an agent from Premier Heating and Air, a technician will not come unless they receive a new work order. I need air. It's hot outside and It's really hot in my house. I have a small child and it's too hot to sleep inside my house.Business Response

Filled claim #******** on July 4, it's been more than 2 weeks and the company does not bother to come back with a resolution. Sent back picture of the ac within 1 hr of request,took the company more than 5 days to ask for more pics and service records, nobody during the sales cycle asked for these to be maintained and neither did previous home warranty companies ask for any such thing.Sent new set of photos on July 13 and since then no response. *************************** never has any information and and all they can do is file a follow-up and ask the customer to wait for another 1 to 2 business days and them again no response. The resolution department does not bother to get on the phone or face the customer. At this time I think I made a big.mistake having switched to this company. Not sure if they will even bother to respond d on this complaint or would I just have to get another warranty company for future needs as they are definitely not at all reliable.Business Response

No detailed explanation was given, just informed that we will only pay 150, no one in the sales cycle ever asked for this to be maintained.
The service provider has also not been informed and I have not been sent his contact details again.
