Updated February 2026 • 5 min read

What You're Paying

Select Home Warranty charges $45-55/month ($540-660/year) with a $75 service fee per claim. They market aggressively with "first month free" deals, but the contracts lock you into 12-month terms with early cancellation penalties.

How to Cancel Select Home Warranty

Method 1: Phone

1. Call 1-888-966-8440 during business hours (Mon-Fri 9am-6pm ET)
2. Request cancellation — have your policy number ready
3. Decline retention offers firmly
4. Get written confirmation via email

Method 2: Email

Send cancellation request to info@selecthomewarranty.com with your policy number, name, and property address. Request confirmation of cancellation and any applicable refund.

Method 3: Certified Mail

Mail to: Select Home Warranty, One International Blvd, Suite 400, Mahwah, NJ 07495

Always send certified with return receipt requested — this creates proof of cancellation if they continue billing.

Select Home Warranty Refund Terms

• Within 30 days: Full refund minus $50 processing fee
• After 30 days: Pro-rata refund minus $75 cancellation fee minus claims paid
• Annual prepaid plans: Better refund terms than monthly — check your contract
• Auto-renewal: Contracts auto-renew unless you cancel 30 days before the anniversary date

Is Any Home Warranty Worth It?

For most homeowners, no. The math rarely works:

The only scenario where a home warranty makes sense: you bought a home with aging appliances and HVAC, you're cash-strapped, and you need coverage for the first 1-2 years while you build savings. Even then, a self-insurance HYSA is better long-term.
