    Steven was very knowledgeable and very considerate of my needs. He helped with getting started and explained the plan pretty well so that it was understandable. He went over what the plan covered as well as how to make a claim if necessary. He also explained how to receive free months by referring other family members and friends.

    The company called a plethora of times to earn my business including holidays (). But limited to no followup afterwards. I filed a complaint and received very similar messages about their cs. The last reply focus was: 1. "A Senior Director has been assigned to this case. Once again, we offer you our sincerest apologies, and are looking forward to settling this complaint." However, no one has contacted me. 2. "In reviewing your account the diagnosis came back as an issue with the wall button sensor which doesn't fall under coverage in your service agreement. Please contact our claims department with any future questions."

    The repair person, Mr. M. ** was chosen by the company. It was very clear that the issue was Not the wall button sensor BUT GARAGE DOOR OPENER. It was in warranty as noted by the company's employee. Montreal ** stated. I told them the garage door opener has to be replaced, along with new remotes, wall button and safety sensors.. I put everything in the email... It is a package. So the company is picking out one item to avoid their error. They never sent proof, in over 2 months, nor had the senior person reach out.

We're unable to achieve any progress on a claim we're trying to file on a failed hot water heater. Our contract says the company will not pay for the hot water heater tank but will pay $ 500 for "access, diagnosis, repair and/or replacement" (i.e. labor). We sourced, bought and hauled in the tank ourselves. We tried to submit the labor invoice for reimbursement (it is under $500) but they are giving us the run-around. Whoever we get on the phone says they'll get back to us and then nothing happens. One guy even gave us a wrong phone number to call him back for follow up. We're not dealing with honest people.

We called First Premier and they said they could open a new ticket and 48 hours later someone would contact us.

    I had searched for several home warranties in addition to using the top-rated companies. Home warranties have strict limitations on what they will cover and, if covered, how much they will reimburse. Most of the top-rated home warranty companies are so expensive to have that the monthly fee or service fee could potentially hinder calls to fix problems in the home. But First Premier has reasonable monthly and service fees in the industry. It's reasonable enough that if you used another home warranty at exorbitant prices, it's worth it to try First Premier to gain the same quality of service as the big-named brand companies that can pay for the advertisement to get you there, First Premier will be your knight in shining armor to bail you out.

Initially, the sales representative was pleasant and persuasive, using all the typical sales tactics to get me to sign up. However, once I needed to make a claim, it became nearly impossible to get a hold of them. When I finally did, they asked me to email them, and the process dragged on forever. I had a central air issue at my property in Arizona, and despite numerous attempts, I could not get it fixed through First Premier. Frustrated, I decided to cancel both of my policies. The cancellation process was just as painful, taking several months of back-and-forth communication. When I finally managed to cancel, I was only refunded $50 for the combined 10-year policy I had purchased.

    This company operates with unethical business practices from start to finish. From misleading sales tactics to abysmal claims handling and terrible customer service, every interaction was disappointing. Even reaching out to their corporate executives yielded no satisfactory results. They responded with slow claims processing, rude customer service, and unintelligent responses, ultimately breaching their fiduciary responsibilities to their customers. I would never recommend First Premier Home Warranty to anyone and will avoid any future engagement with them. I have given them ample opportunity to correct their wrongs, but they failed to do so. I will be filing complaints with all relevant agencies to expose their business practices. Avoid this company at all costs.

    It started on 5/13/24. I called in a service claim on our Samsung dryer wasn't working, no heat at all. The guy I talk to never gave me his name however he got me a claim #. Once I got the email from them I called the guy who was to fix our dryer. Of course he never showed up all 3 days he said he would. This is not the first time this has happened to us. So I called First Premier back on 5/17. Explained to them what happened, I asked the lady if I could get my own tech. She said I would have to wait till Monday however I called back on the 18th and they said I could chose my own tech. So I call Sears Home Service. They came on 5/20, gave me an estimate of 698.88, however we had to pay sears Home Service their service fee of 128.00 dollars.

    So I called first premier back. They told me I would have to wait 24 hours to get this approved. So I called late Tue afternoon. First premier however only offered us 205.00 dollars to replace our dryer which was the first time our dryer ever broke down in 14 years we've had it. It cost us 622.87 to replace it which is very unfair. Now I have to try and get reimbursed for 128.00 that we paid Sears Home Service. So buyer beware using first premier home warranty for your home.

    I had two claims this year. One was for a garbage disposal. The company got it working again but told me it was cracked and needed to be replaced. It was denied. The second was for the central air and heat unit. The thermostat was bad and the emergency heat unit wasn’t working. The total to repair this problems was 750.00. First Premier gave me a cash offer for $129. They denied paying for the repair of the unit. The AC quit working again and I called them. I was told that they would not send anyone out to repair the AC until I accept the $129 cash offer, so I am stuck with no AC and no money to pay for its repair.

    I bought the coverage so I wouldn’t have to pay for repair of things that break in my home. Silly me! I guess I thought that’s what warranty insurance was for. Now I’m screwed and so is the repair technician who came out to service my unit. Don’t buy this coverage unless you are able to pay for repairs out of your own pocket. You can’t trust them to pay the service bill.

    If I could give this company 0 starts I would. Please do your due diligence when looking for a home warranty. I went with this company because all the reviews said it was the best. First time I needed them was when the coils in my AC unit failed, so I called them and guess what...coils are not covered by them so I was out about 2 grand. When asking around, coils are one of the parts of an A/C unit that fail the most.

    I gave them the benefit of the doubt and a couple of months later my washer dies, it was not an old washer (2016), it was a fairly high end and when new it is about $900. Repairman came and saw that it was not repairable, so he lets the warranty company know about this and they start processing the refund. We knew it was not going to be a full refund, but we were expecting around half, but guess what.... they only offered us $100 dollar check because they said it was an old washer. Finally I decided to cancel my contract with them and after weeks of waiting to hear back from them they say they will cancel it, but they will not do any refunds on the fee I already paid (my contract ends in 6months) because of a cancellation fee and because of the number of times I already use them. So please avoid them.

    Reviewed April 25, 2024

    Read some of the reviews on First Premier Home Warranty. I have to say, these review do NOT match the experiences I've had with the company. I've had a policy for a little over 3 years now, purchased because I bought a home built in 1906 and that had older HVAC systems and appliances. The first year of policy everything worked "as it should", the company was slow to respond and difficult to engage with (mostly due to poor customer service) but at least my appliances got mostly fixed. However, every time I've gone to try and get something covered the company is rude, highly unprofessional, slow to respond (even to contractors), and doesn't communicate with the consumer at all. I've got a lot of friends in the contracting business, and every single people I've engaged with (from contractors to consumers), everyone has had roughly the same experience of terrible customer service and being lied to.

    Currently, I'm in a dispute with them over coverage of an A/C unit. When I contacted them, the individuals I spoke with had no actual knowledge of home repairs. The underwriters lied about what their contracted vendor told them in order to find a reason to not cover the A/C unit. The customer service reps offered absolutely no information or way to appeal, they just said "this is what you purchased". I had to call the vendor they sent out and speak to him directly in order to even find out what was actually wrong with the A/C unit.

    First Premier did not even bother to call the vendor to tell him that the claim is being denied - he found out from me. He's got an invoice in to them and has never received additional communication. But the trouble doesn't stop there, because the only reason I knew the claim was being denied in the first place is I had to call in. First Premier claims to have a web portal, but when you call and talk to them, I was told that it isn't functional so they can't set up an account for me. So had I not called to check in on the claim (9 days after the service was provided), I'd not know the claim was being denied.

    When I called, the individual claiming to be the operations manager actually yelled at me on the phone for not understanding my policy, berated me, and told me that there was no escalation process or appeals process. I told him he was being very rude, to which he said "if you don't like it, then you can talk to someone else". I asked to talk to his manager, which he repeatedly stated he didn't have one (which is concerning), then said he was the operations manager who reported directly to the owner, but the owner "never gets on calls". So I don't even have a place to complain about the customer service received, let alone have an actual discussion with someone about the claim.

    The entire purpose of the conversation was to get me off the phone and not pay out (at least that's what I perceived). All of this is highly, highly unprofessional. When I asked about cancelling my policy because why pay for something I can't actually use, I was told that can't be done over the phone, that I need to email in the request to cancel and it will be considered at that time. At this point, I'm escalating to the only resource I have - the internet - and the BBB to file formal complaints against this company. (An important note: I've repeatedly tried emailing both info@firstpremierhomewarranty.com and claims@firstpremierhomewarranty.com and have never received a reply.)

    First Premier is honestly one of the worst companies I've ever had to deal with. They are shady (which is why their premiums are so low), do not provide the consumer remedies for concerns, do not reply to their emails, can often not be reached by phone, and even the contractors hate them. My review is not about my personal beef with First Premier, the review is about people being lied to in order to avoid paying claims and knowing that, if you choose First Premier, you will experience customer service issues, you will experience delays in getting your claims completed, and the company will look for any reason not to pay your claim. Just stay away.

Only time will tell if they deserve my business or not. I had been with American Home Shield since 1985 and had been relatively happy with them up until April 2023 when I experienced a 9 month delay in having an appliance replaced. I initially thought that it could have been a supply chain issue but soon discovered that GE was selling the appliance that AHS promised to provide me with.

    AHS did finally resolve the issue but 9 months was too much to take. I also didn't like the fact that they use an overseas call center where people don't speak English well, nor really understand the issues that US Citizens have with their homes. Enough was enough so I decided to try this company out. We shall see. First Premier offered me an additional month of warranty at no charge for writing a review, which I have honestly done.

I have been trying to cancel my warranty, and it has taken months for them to provide a breakdown of the amount of the refund amount.

    First Premier Home Warranty has AWESOME customer service; they go in great detail to explain their program and they make sure that no question is unanswered. Also, they have an EXCELLENT program/product which is the most comprehensive and affordable home warranty on the market with all the items that they cover; to include additional items such as pool/spa package and septic systems. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    As a realtor I tried to get my client a good warranty with this company. Client was denied coverage and told they had to wait 30 days after the payment was received from the title company for the warranty to begin. We cancelled it right away before it went into effect and put a new warranty on it with another upstanding warranty company. Then called First Premier numerous times waiting for the refund. Was told it would be returned to the title company that missed the payment originally and after numerous calls and waiting 5 months I was then told the funds were returned to the client. The refund was to go towards the new warranty and not be returned to the client/buyer. Each time I called them in the 5 months I received a different answer on the status of the warranty and refund. I had never used them before and would never recommend them.

    Truthfully, I've owned many homes over the years. All warranty companies have pros/cons. By far (not just by a little) have I ever experienced such poor customer service. I have tried to file three claims and it was as if this company was working overtime to come up with a way to deny them. They were not friendly and trying to help. It was specifically to explain that they were denying the claim. To make matters worse, I had to call them each time to determine the status of my claim. They went radio silent once I filed a claim.

    Purchased a 3 year policy due to the 6 page policy we viewed when a FHPW rep sent us a copy of their policy. After purchase, FPHW changes the terms and conditions of the policy and sends you a 19 page poilicy which covers NOTHING. We made 2 claims in 11 months. Did not get either claim resolved to our satisfaction. We paid the contractors $60/fee on each. Because FHPW does not bother to call the contractor back after the contractor has been to your house, your item will not get fixed that day, and you will be left to find another contractor to fix your problem. FHPW claims their contractor did not contact them, but we saw the email where the contract DID.

    When we decided to cancel our policy and get some of our money back, FHPW stated they had paid the contractor the $60 and attempted to deduct that from the pro rata sum owed to us. We got a letter from the contractor which states FHPW did not ever communicate with the contractor or pay him. No matter how much evidence you gather to prove the reps at FPHW are LIARS, SCAM ARTISTS, BAIT AND SWITCH FRAUDSTERS, they will attempt to lie and lie their way out of it. The form they require you to sign in order to get the paltry amount they say they owe you is attached. Read it! It even threatens to ruin your credit score. The FPHW Jokers have been trained by the devil himself. Stay away from this company. The 5 star reviews they have are solicited from potential contractors and their friends and family. I doubt one 5 star review is legit. Read the 1 star reviews. ALL of the 1 star reviews are the REAL truth behind this awful company.

    Updated on 02/09/2024: BEWARE: I BELIEVE FIRST PREMIER HOME WARRANTY PRACTICES DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING First Premier Home Warranty (FPHW) has 2 different versions of their warranty policy - a 12 pages version they provide to potential customers before you make payment and a lengthy version - 19 pages - they provide in a 'welcome package' after they receive payment. The 19 page policy is full of exclusions to the 12 page policy items covered. Most customers do not examine the 2nd policy (19 pages) because they believe it is the same as the 1st policy sent. This appears to be illegal, deceitful advertising by not disclosing to the customer that the 1st policy provided was altered by the 2nd policy.

    In addition, we have heard FPHW requires their potential contractors who may want to work with FPHW to write a FIVE star review before they hire will hire the contractor. That is why you see so many 5 star reviews from reviewers with only 1 review to their name. After a lengthy investigation, we demanded a full refund of our money paid for 4 policies. A 'Todd' at FHPW told me (when I disclosed my unhappiness about the 2 different policies and demanded a refund) that the welcome letter stated I had 30 days to cancel. The welcome letter does not disclose that the policy originally sent to me was amended or changed.

    EXAMINE the pdf Policy in your Welcome Letter and realize it is NOT THE SAME POLICY you signed up for. I would suggest staying away from First Premier Home Warranty with a 20' pole. When you question FPHW they threaten you with court costs and attorney fees if you complain or disclose their deceitful methods.

    Original Review: First Premier Home Warranty (FPHW) is a SCAM. Before you pay for a home warranty, ask FPHW for a copy of the contract/warranty. The copy FPHW sends you prior to payment is not what they give you or what you pay for. The REAL contract is over 19 pages long and contains more exclusions of what they don't pay for than what they do pay for. It is NOT the contract they send you when you ask to see a copy of the contract prior to payment. They are a PONZI scheme just to get your money. FPHW lies to you on the phone during the claims process. They send out contractors who get frustrated because the contractor cannot get in touch with FPHW, but FPHW lies and says the contractor (FPHW's own contractor) never called them. We had a plumbing leak. Bathtub valve was leaking.

    FPHW sent out a contractor. Contractor told us that FPHW did not approve the repair of the leak. FPHW contractor did not fix the problem. The contract provided to us BEFORE we paid FPHW said bathtub valves were covered. The contract FPHW provided to us the day after we paid them, says bathtub valves are EXCLUDED. Since we had already viewed the contract prior to payment, we didn't check the contract they sent upon payment. They said we should have viewed the contract sent w/ payment as we had only 30 days to approve or deny that altered contract w/ many exclusions. This is a huge scam First Premier plays on unsuspecting customers. Stay away from them. They are horrible. They post fraudulent good reviews. You will regret you ever signed up with them.

    This company is a fraud. They sold me one policy on the phone and I kept requesting a copy of the policy from Robert the sales agent. It never arrived, but he received my 3 Year policy amount in full on the phone in March 2023. I continued to call and finally reached Jack from FP and he sent out a welcome letter and copy of my policy April 4, 2023. I didn't receive a copy of the policy from Robert (which he sent to the wrong email...my sisters) until July 2023. The two policies are completely different.

    My first claim for pool was denied in July 2023. It was covered on the policy. Robert said he would get a form to me to submit my receipt as I went out of pocket to prevent further pool damage. I am still waiting on this.... 2nd claim January 24 for leaking shower handles and valve. They are CLEARLY covered on the first policy I received from FP but conveniently denied when 2nd policy sent 4 months after sign up is presented by FP. Lesson...DO NOT GIVE THEM $1 without their personal guarantee by notary on signed contract you receive and read in full before purchase. Sales agents provide a lot of hot air which is not on their 2nd contract they send months after purchase. There are many reviews on many sites regarding this same issue.

I called them a couple of time first to request a plumbing for a minor issue and they said, I can't raise any claim within the first 03 months of contract as that was a blackout period, then a pool pump broke and after they provided a company to look at it that never replied to emails or phone calls, they accepted me to bring my company and the tech determined the pump was damage and this company asked for maintenance records for the last 03 years, and asked me to contact the previous owner to obtain those records, as I've been in the property for 08 month.

    I turned in my 1st and only claim for a broken microwave. I was referred to a company to call for the repair. This company answered the phone "hello" in a bothered tone. Not instilling any confidence. They went to the house to confirm the microwave needed to be replaced. Great. After asking what the plan for replacement would be, I was ghosted. I reached out to 1st Premier for help. Customer service was horrible. I was hung up on, placed on hold in the middle of conversations and talked over while asking questions. I had to initiate follow up calls to find out how/when my microwave would be replaced. I was told I would have calls back in a day...hours...all of which did not happen.

    On my last call to 1st Premier, I was told that underwriting deemed my repair/replacement to be too expensive and that they'd email me to fill out a form for a cash settlement. All this has taken 1 month. If I would have done the replacement myself, this would have been handled in a day. And, I don't anticipate having my "cash settlement" anytime soon. Which I doubt will cover the cost of a new microwave. So, I would advise to anyone, seek out a more reputable company to get a warranty with. Saving a few bucks is obviously costing me more in the long run. I will not be renewing my contract with this company.

    I would NOT suggest signing on with this company. My advice to you is RUN as quickly as you can and DO NOT LOOK BACK! Stay away from First Premier Home Warranty! I would NOT recommend that anyone sign on to work with this very shady company. 1st, I was charged taxes when my state does not tax ins. The documentation did not show price of policy + Taxes; it was all lumped together showing total cost as what was paid for policy. That was reimbursed when I called about it. When I really looked thru reviews, I noticed that the good reviews were about customer service on the front end and the great deals that people were given. However, when I found reviews about the experience people had when they actually filed a claim, those were the very bad reviews.

    Next, I was told that within the first 30 days (the waiting period), if I cancelled, I would get 100% full refund. I then cancelled later on the same day that I signed on with First Premier. This was on a Friday, and I had to wait until Monday for handling. Then I was told I had to sign a form to cancel the policy. I received via email a Release saying AFC would keep $50 admin fee, with a very strong worded paragraph at the bottom of the release. That was their “form that needed signing” so that they could cancel the policy. I just signed it to get this over with and wrote that this was not what was promised. I also asked for a response confirming the receipt of my email and that the refund would be coming soon. I had to call to follow-up with them, as no one responded as requested.

    I was told that the required admin fee was clearly stated in the Warranty, but you do not see that document until AFTER they take the money and then they email it to you. After further review, I found in the Warranty under cancellation section, that if you cancel within the first 30 days, you do get a full refund as I was initially promised. I mentioned that to First Premier Employee in Accounting, and he said to email that into him. I did, he got it and said he would escalate it for review, and that it would only hold up my getting my reimbursement by one day. He said he would call the next day with an update on this, and he did not.

    I called the next day asking for that employee and was left on an extended hold. I could not get him on the phone. Finally, after calling back a few times, I spoke with someone else who asked if I signed the release. I confirmed that I did, so he said nothing could be done and the reimbursement less the $50 admin fee was being put thru that evening.

    I was then reimbursed. I saw pending transactions the very next morning. The full $1960 was reimbursed to my card (and they also charged me again for that $50 admin fee). They covered their butts. They gave it all back because legally they knew they had to, and then they charged the $50 because they had the signed Release on file. The Release that NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE.

    This is a shady company. Any company with any integrity at all, would have apologized and simply made the full refund that I truly was due. I hope this explains why I would NEVER EVER work with First Premier Home Warranty or recommend them to anyone else. They pretty much stole $50 but it was worth that loss, to find out who and what they were before getting in any deeper with them.

    If I had stayed on past that first 30 day waiting period, even though they say you can cancel at any time for a full prorated refund, they do not talk about the $50 Admin Fee charged for each and every month you cancel for and the fact that IF you did file a claim prior to cancelling, they will also be taking back any and all monies they spent on that claim. While you would not have to pay anything more to them, it is likely that most, if not all, of your prorated refund will be eaten up by their fees.

    In fairness, I will say that some of what I just stated about cancellation seems to be normal practice within the industry, but not the $50 admin fee charged for each and every month (there is normally a single admin fee) and no other company did not honor the full refund policy for the first 30-day-waiting period. Please do NOT work with First Premier Home Warranty, and if you have begun looking into their services, as initially stated above, run as fast as you can and never look back. I sincerely hope that this review/warning saves some of you some unnecessary grief and expense.

    We received all information easily from Mr. ** regarding all manner of the Home Warranty Service Program. We are hoping we do not have to use this service, however, if we do, it is good to know there are competent customer service agents at First Premier. Thanks for your professionalism and courtesy to me and my wife, Donna.

    When Jake ** called explained everything I asked to become a home warranty owner. I was sold. He really was nice and I appreciate him for reach out to me. Thanks. I am really looking forward to experiencing this warranty as needed. I just don't want to have to look for someone to come in to help from long distance stay so this home warranty is just a call away. I am glad I choose First premier Home warranty for my service.
