Overall Rating: 2.5 / 5 (Average)

Super is a subscription-based home repair and maintenance service. The company offers three plans starting at $64 per month. All plans include both appliances and systems. Customers have the option of customizing any plan to cover a wide range of home features, including pools and spas, well pumps, and duplicate appliances. Super is one of the more expensive services out there and its plan pricing and coverage limit structure is among the most complicated we've seen. For example, the price of any plan you choose will increase if you have a larger home because rates are established according to the area of your home. Even a careful reading of the company's sample contract leaves many questions unanswered. But the company doesn't limit the number of claims that you can make and some system coverage may be unlimited, depending on the plan you choose. In addition, by adding the It's Covered option to your plan, some appliance and system parts that other home warranty companies exclude are included.

Coverage Options - 4 / 5

Super offers three home warranty packages: the Security, Signature and Lux plans. The more you are willing to pay for a plan, the more appliances and systems are covered. Super helps and encourages customers to perform routine maintenance on their homes. Once you are an established customer, Super will send you updates when normal maintenance tasks should be performed throughout your home. Subscribers have the option of engaging one of Super's contractors to perform the work, with deductibles ranging from $75 to $149. Super also protects against unknown pre-existing conditions, which are often excluded from most home warranty contracts.

Super's service stands out for being highly customizable. Customers can select a plan that generally suits their needs, then add custom coverage to suit their particular home's features.

Contract & Price - 4.5 / 5

The minimum annual premium with Super is $449 annually. That price applies to homes under 1200 square feet in area and located in Arizona. Premiums for larger homes are higher, as they are for homes located in more expensive parts of the country. Other contract features are on par with competitive home warranties. You are not required to sign up for a full year of coverage, but if you sign an annual contract, you'll receive a discount off the monthly price. Super coverage for existing homes that are not on the market begins 15 days after you make your first payment. That's a somewhat shorter waiting period than some competitive plans offer. Super has a pretty standard cancellation clause. You can cancel within 30 days and receive a full refund, minus the cost of any repairs the company performed during the covered period. However, the company also charges a $50 cancellation fee.

Sample Contract

Super provides a sample contract for potential customers on its website: Super Sample Contract

Cancellation Policy

Agreement can be cancelled by you within thirty (30) days of the Plan Effective Date, and a full refund will be made. You may cancel this Agreement more than thirty (30) days after the Agreement effective date, and you shall be entitled to refund of the pro-rata Agreement charge less claims paid, any unpaid service fees, and a $50 administrative fee. Cancellation of this plan must be in writing.

Claims Processing - 3.8 / 5

Super makes it easy to submit claims by offering online, mobile, email, and telephone contact methods. Customers can submit an unlimited number of claims during a covered period, however the company places a cap on the dollar value of claims you can submit in a year. Coverage limits increase as you step up to Super's more expensive plans. Under no circumstances will the company be responsible for more than $30,000 in repairs, no matter which plan or upgrades you choose.

Super is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has an excellent A+ rating. The lack of client feedback on the site may be interpreted as evidence of customer satisfaction with their product, or alternatively, attributed to their limited, six region coverage area. Nonetheless, the company seems to enjoy a positive reputation, as evidenced by their #TestimonialTuesday posts on Twitter.

I choose Super for my Home Warranty from various options. BIG MISTAKE. It has been TWO WEEKS since I submitted a claim for a WATER LEAK in my house. They were very fast in sending a technician to look at the issue, but that was it. After the technician came, I never heard anything back from Super or the Plumbers. I have reached out to Super MULTIPLE times and keep getting the same response, "Oh, no. The technician never filed a claim. We will reach out to them and make sure they file the claim. We will call you tomorrow." "I called the technician but they did not answer. I left a voicemail and hopefully they will return my call. I'll call you tomorrow." "The technician is going to submit...

I filed claim for them to inspect 2 AC units. While the technician was there I asked him to look at my heaters as well. Came back the AC units were working but the heater needed a repair. After two weeks of my calling (you call and are put on hold for a minimum of 15 minutes and then your disconnected) they finally call me to say the claim is disallowed because it is July. If I had called in October it would be covered. I did not have them come out for the heater they found it while looking at HVAC. Totally a scam, they keep telling there were "sorry" they could not cover the claim. Go somewhere else for warranty NEVER use super. MM

I'm on day 10 without cooling during the hottest days of the year, despite contacting Super every day. I bought a plan that covers AC up to $10,000, but Super just called to tell me they will only replace the broken coil if I pay a hidden fee of nearly $2,000 to upgrade a different part of the AC. When the technician came by (which occurred on day 9 without AC), he said the whole system needed to be replaced, but now Super tells me only the coil needs to be replaced, but that it can't be replaced without replacing the compressor, which they will not cover because the compressor itself is not broken (despite what the technician said). Fundamentally, they have utterly failed us. They... Read More

TL:DR: Go with a different warranty company. Any other company. This company is a scam. I'm experiencing the same issues that a lot of these recent reviews are complaining about. They sent a repair company out to fix my fridge. They came out with the wrong part and are blaming Super for ordering the wrong one. I've called Super twice during business hours and gotten a voicemail so I left messages. I called their emergency answering service and left a message with them. I've sent a message through their online portal and emailed about 4 times. It's been 2 weeks, and still nothing. I filed a complaint with BBB and still nothing. Hopefully they're going out of business so no one... Read More

You can never get anyone to answer the phone, and they don't call you back when you leave a message. Also, their "partners" are not necessarily qualified to do the work they are contracted to do.

Awful company. Do not use. They won't answer emails or answer the phone during their normal operating hours. They sent a tech but refused to cover the broken part (which was completely covered under my warranty plan). I've been without AC for weeks.

I waited a VERY long time to get a human to answer the phone. Just to be told "we don't cover that." This was my first experience with this company, and I'm regretting my decision to join already.

Hello Super is a disaster of a company with terrible customer service and even worse -- they lie!!! Purchased an $800 policy for my new condo only to be told after 3 months and 4+ servicing appointments that the unit was not covered under warranty. I will never ever recommend this company to anyone. Please do not give them your money. Find a company that will value your time and will be helpful during already stressful situations.

I have been a customer of Super home warranty for since October of 2018. I had switched to them because I was recommended by a colleague of mine after being swindled by American Home Shield who had refused to fix a plumbing issue in my condo. I was told by my colleague who had been cheated by American Home Shield herself that Super actually covered what they actually sold. So I went ahead and decided to give Super a try. Before I signed up, I thoroughly consulted with my super agent and thoroughly read over the policy I was interested in. After the consultation, I felt pretty confident that I would be covered significantly if something happens to my house. I was dreadfully mistaken.... Read More
