Contracts and Restrictions

If the Select Home Warranty service contract agreement covers a malfunctioning appliance or system, the homeowner must contact Select PRIOR to obtaining service. Failure to do so may render the claim invalid. Select will not reimburse you if you use your own service technician without prior authorization.

All systems and appliances must be in proper working order on the Effective Date of the service contract. Any pre-existing conditions or defects causing the malfunction of system or appliance during the term will not be covered.

The term of the service contract begins 30 days following Select Home Warranty’s receipt of all outstanding payments and premiums. In the event Select does not receive all outstanding payments or premiums, the service contract term will not begin. The service contract will start on the Effective Date and will remain in effect for 1 year following the Billing Date.

Select may cancel the agreement if it is deemed that the customer has engaged in fraudulent conduct, has made misrepresentations, or has failed to make required payments. You may cancel your agreement within 30 days from the Order Date at which point you will be entitled to a full refund if no service has been provided. After the 30^th day, you may be issued a pro-rated refund at the non-discounted annual plan cost minus a $75 cancellation fee.

If you choose the monthly payment option and Select elects to renew your contract, you will be notified of the rate and term during the tenth month of your contract, and you will be automatically renewed for an annual coverage period unless you notify Select in writing 30 days prior to the Termination Date.

Customer Satisfaction

Select Home Warranty does their best to meet the needs of their clients by providing multiple plan options with optional add-ons. Customers can speak to a Customer Service agent by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and you can submit your claim online or by phone. You will be required to pay a $60 service fee per claim.

The Better Business Bureau has not yet accredited Select Home Warranty, and the company has only been in business for four years. Though the company is relatively new, you can find reviews (both positive and negative) online.
