What This Data Tells Us About Select Home Warranty

Select Home Warranty has logged 6,800 complaints in the CFPB consumer database and receives a composite complaint score of D based on volume relative to customer base, response behavior, and dispute patterns. Timely response rate sits at 82% against the CFPB's 15-day window, while the consumer dispute rate — the share of resolutions consumers reject as inadequate — runs at 25%. With an estimated 300,000+ customer base, these figures are most useful when indexed to company size: a large insurer can accumulate high raw complaint counts while still delivering average-to-good per-customer performance.

Pricing and reach tell the second half of the story. Annual plan cost ranges $400-$600, with service fees in the $60-$75 window per call — numbers that matter because total cost of ownership combines premium, deductible, and exclusions, not premium alone. The company's Better Business Bureau rating is B, a signal that tracks response speed to BBB-mediated complaints and adherence to advertising standards. Coverage footprint extends to 48 states, which both expands the potential complaint pool and indicates scale of operations.

The most common complaint category is "Claim Denial" — which concentrates disputes and points to where plan language, claim adjudication, or repair-network capacity most often break down. Founded in 2012, For homeowners weighing this provider, the combined signal — complaint score, response and dispute rates, BBB rating, and state availability — is more informative than any single metric, and should be compared against at least two peer companies before committing.
