America’s 1st Choice Home Club has good reviews in Arkansas, and we noticed people are particularly pleased with the company’s customer service representatives.
John from Little Rock reported that “David was incredibly thorough and was quite knowledgeable about his product and even that of his competition. His personal touch to customer service is why I’m leaving my current home warranty company and making the switch to AFC. Changing companies was a bit scary but David walked me through every step.”
“Kevin did an incredible job helping us find the right plan and one at a great price,” wrote Amy from Vilonia. “He was Very knowledgeable about all the company’s experience and not only the service plans but how each policy works. He made great recommendations and clearly answered every question I had. We have talked to several other companies and this policy and the customer service stood out from the rest.”
Finding the best home warranty in Arkansas

While a home warranty doesn’t protect you from weather events in the same way that homeowners insurance does, your environment can influence which home warranty is right for you.
Arkansas’ dramatic seasonal changes can cause wear and tear on the systems and appliances of your home, especially those that are responsible for climate control, like your heating and air conditioning. So, it makes sense to get coverage for those items.
When buying a home warranty in Arkansas, think about the home appliances or systems that you wouldn’t want to go without and make sure you pick a plan that covers them. It’s bad enough if your cooling system breaks down in the middle of summer, but having to wait in the sweltering heat while you save up money for an expensive repair is even worse. Once you know what coverage you want, you can start shopping in earnest.
Cost, coverage and policies vary from company to company, so read up on each plan you’re considering, get quotes and compare offers to find the right deal. If you’re worried about a company’s reliability, check reviews from other consumers, especially those in your area.
Home warranty regulations in Arkansas
Arkansas has fairly robust legislation related to home warranties, though most materials from the state refer to them as “service contracts.”
The state has adopted a version of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) model service contract act with its Service Contracts Act (chapter 114 of the Code of Arkansas). This act establishes definitions, requirements for doing business, required disclosures, prohibited acts, recordkeeping requirements and other regulations for the home warranty industry. However, there’s not much here to help you shop for a home warranty.
The Service Contracts Act also gives regulatory authority over the home warranty industry to the Arkansas Insurance Department (AID). As a result, home warranty companies in Arkansas must register with AID and abide by rules from the state insurance commissioner.
AID maintains a helpful resource page about service contracts in Arkansas, and it works with the NAIC to provide consumer services, allowing you to look up a company’s license or file a grievance online.
