Quality of SHW Customer Service

Select Home Warranty reviews indicate that its services are trustworthy. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has not accredited Select, although it has a rating of ‘B’ by the organization.

Select Home Warranty claims that it will assign the technicians to provide repairs in non-emergency service requests within three days. Select will first verify whether the item causing the emergency is covered during the emergency requests. 

If the emergency pertains to gas, fire, or has the potential to cause injury, you would be required to vacate your premises and contact the proper authority. Once your home is made safe to re-inhabit, Select will begin the procedure of repair or replacement.

Claim Filing Process

To submit your Select Home Warranty claim, here is what you should do:

• Call Select Home Warranty at 855-267-3532 or visit their website to submit your claim.
• Select will assign an independent service technician to your home to fix your broken item within three business days during the week and four business days on weekends or holidays.
• You will be required to pay a service fee to Select or to the technician.

Note: Select will bear the repair or replacement cost, and reimbursement will not be made for any service performed without their prior approval.
