We know why you love living in San Diego: the sun-kissed beaches, the weekend hikes, and that easygoing pace that makes every day feel a little lighter. But owning a home here comes with its own unique challenges. Having a home warranty in San Diego can help when an essential appliance or system suddenly stops working, leaving you with an unexpected repair to arrange.
The local climate and age of your home can make a difference, too. Coastal neighborhoods such as La Jolla, Ocean Beach, and Pacific Beach experience conditions that can contribute to corrosion over time. Meanwhile, San Diego’s hard water measures roughly 12-18 grains per gallon, depending on the area and source, and can contribute to mineral buildup in plumbing fixtures and water heaters. With about half of local homes built before 1980, aging plumbing and equipment deserve attention.
You cannot always predict when a water heater will struggle with mineral buildup or when an older plumbing connection will start leaking. This is where we can come to your rescue. Our three popular home warranty plans offer coverage options for both systems and appliances, giving you a practical way to prepare for covered breakdowns. All you need to do is simply call us; our skilled technicians take it from there, and you skip the hunt for someone you can trust. Your home deserves a plan that knows San Diego.

How Does a Home Warranty Save Time and Money?
Between work, family, traffic on the 5, and weekends at the beach, the last thing you need is a refrigerator that stops cooling or a water heater that quits mid-shower. With a home appliance warranty, you do not have to spend your day searching for a trustworthy technician, comparing quotes, or coordinating every repair detail yourself.
A warranty can also help you avoid the full financial impact of an unexpected breakdown. Instead of absorbing the entire cost of a covered repair or replacement, you submit a claim and pay the applicable service fee while we coordinate with a qualified professional from our network. That means less time lost, fewer surprise expenses, and more room in your schedule for the things you actually enjoy, whether that is brunch in Little Italy, a Padres game, or a quiet evening at home.

My experience with "Select Home Warranty" has been absolutely great so far. I recently had issues with both my dishwasher and conventional oven in the last 6 months. Filing the claims was quick and entirely hassle-free. The company promptly sent out professional technicians who diagnosed and fixed both appliances without delay. I only paid my standard service fee, saving me tons of money in unexpected repair costs. Their customer service is excellent, and the coverage provides incredible peace of mind. I highly recommend them!

Bruce was awesome and was very informative in helping me find the right plan. Prices are affordable and competitive and there was some flexibility to negotiate as they want your business! In comparing other competitors, the coverages are just as good, and they even added a free roof coverage for me in the event I have any leaks.

I just wanted to thank Ryan for the help over the phone. Had some questions to make sure I was getting the right coverage and he answered them with no problem. If there is someone thinking about getting house warranty, it's something I would definitely recommend. Don't go through the hassle. Get warranty and forget about it.

Ryan was wonderful to talk to. He explained all coverages in great detail as well as "add on's", pricing, et al. A+++ to Ryan! I had just cancelled my former policy, went on-line and called Select with 9.9 stars. Look forward to a very long association and feel a lot safer already.

Always friendly and courteous customer service reps. Coverage is very much like other top home warranty companies, but more affordable. And, unlike other services we've subscribed to, Select offers the option for monthly payments. Which is great for the home budget!
- See Why Homeowners,Recommend Our Home Protection Plans.
The customer service is helpful and excellent in fulfilling my request. Give me more options to choose and the best possible discount I can get that is available from the company. He lower my monthly premium lower than AHS premium.

Called Select Home Warranty for a quote to cover my California residence. Lucas was very knowledgeable and professional in relaying the information I needed to make a decision. I signed up for a year of their Platinum Coverage.
- See Why Homeowners,Recommend Our Home Protection Plans.
Signed up for the 5 year plan, guaranteed same price as long as I want. Prorated refund if not satisfied or moving. Hard to beat that. Save over my existing plan enough that it was an easy decision. Easy to set up. Professional phone call from start to finish.

I was not initially unimpressed with my first call. The representative made matter-of-fact recommendations for my coverage. After reviewing the information provided, I was able to make an informed decision that feels comfortable.

Great experience talking to Sam! There was no pressure to sign up and he answered all of my questions. I feel I got a great deal and I definitely am happy I decided to switch to Select Home Warranty!!!

After going through and talking to several companies and calling back again, I chose Select Home Warranty because of the integrity of the sales dept. I questioned them over and over and was just waiting for them to contradict themselves or have them offer something, and find out they were lying. Many companies out there, in my quest for the right choice, did just that. Select Home Warranty stood out from the pack with confidence and, better yet, integrity which is so hard to find anymore. I made the right choice and happy to have them protecting my home.

My experience with the company thus far has been great. Salesman was informative, helpful and provided great service. I was able to have my questions answered thoroughly. Hopefully our relationship continues to be a rewarding experience and not a regret.

The process of enrolling was very smooth and the person I spoke with, Jake, was very cordial and provided answers to my questions. He suggested a discounted two-year plan which I accepted. This seems to be a good deal. Thank you Jake! My sincere hope is if I ever need help, the process be as smooth as the enrolment!

Sean was very helpful and upfront with every detail of my policy and what is/isn’t covered. Made it easy and made the most sense. I feel confident in being covered with my home warranty. My coverage is better than my previous coverage in both out of pocket costs and all that is covered. Being able to cover based on on total cap per year and not specific to how much I’m covered on 1 appliance makes it feel worth it.
- See Why Homeowners,Recommend Our Home Protection Plans.
Excellent customer service. Greg went over value packages that maximized value and added 6 months free for signing for the 3 year deal. And then one more month for free for the review! I recommend this service.

The gentleman that helped me did everything he could to give me the best discount and pricing. As a new widow of a veteran trying to keep myself on budget he did a good job. He gave me several options to be able to afford the plan that I wanted.

Kyle was a wonderful salesperson, listened, and got me a fantastic deal. I chose the platinum plan for the most comprehensive coverage which includes my pool and the roof. I'm paying half of what my current home warranty company was raising my renewal rates to. And, to top it off, my rates are locked in for 6 years and then as long as I stay with Select! I couldn't be more pleased.
- See Why Homeowners,Recommend Our Home Protection Plans.
The representative was very helpful. He offered various options and considered my age and financial status, as well as veteran status. I was impressed with his ability to answer any questions that I asked. I was successful in securing a home warranty that is comfortable/affordable/adequate for my needs.

Great experience setting up my home warranty with Jake! Thank you! He was able to get me into a great plan with great coverage and the company offers great perks! I was surprised with everything he was able to provide me over the phone. Everything is covered in my house now, so I no longer have to worry in the near future about anything.

Connor is my Account Representative. He was very nice and helpful. He answered all our questions. I have used a competitor company for 11 years and never talked to a rep that pleasant. He was very quick getting information to us. He responded immediately when we sent an email with questions.

I’ve had a very good experience with Select Home Warranty. My service request was acknowledged quickly, the contractor arrived on time, and the repair was completed the same day. What stood out was how easy the process was — no runaround, no upselling, just straightforward service. If you want a warranty company that communicates clearly and handles issues without drama, Select is worth considering.

My rep answered my questions and the process was very easy to come on board and leave my other home warranty company. My other company's rates are outrageous so this made the decision to come to Select a warranty a no-brainer.

We have had nothing but good experiences from SHW. They have saved us a ton of money and wonder why more people do not get home warranties. If you are in the market SHW is the place. Their online process is easy, the companies they work with are always top notch, and the value you get for the money will be worth it many times over.

It was a pleasure working with Ryan to finalize my warranty program. The phone conversation went very well as I had a lot of questions. All were answered clearly and concisely. Ryan went above and beyond to make the deal hard to resist, especially compared to my existing warranty from a competitor.

I'm a new customer and can't no longer do my own home service due to my age and medical problems. Customer Service Rep was excellent, the Rep. gave me good service with wide range of options for my home, Including senior and military discount. I had review other home warranty companies, but SHW beat them all other competitors on Service call fee, monthly payment, and plan options. Thank you Rep.

I called in on June 12, 2025 and paid up front for 12 months and got two additional months. The plan would have to wait for 30 days and that was fine. I called in for the copy of contract and other information in case of a request for service. You provided it quickly and I was able to print.
