    We have had First American for 11+ years. We contacted them to get our garbage disposal fixed. The company they chose to send is unreliable, shady, and thieves. They came once told us the unit needed to be replaced, took our required service fee and have not been back. We as homeowners are unable to get in touch. First American has admitted they can not get in touch but they are unwilling to refund us and unwilling to send a new contractor. First American is doing NOTHING to fix this. This is only our 4th or 5th call in the past 11 years and from our experience First American does not choose contractors based on experience, reviews,reliability or competence but solely on price. They have extremely poor customer service who do not care about the customer or customer experience one bit.

    I placed my request on June 28th for service. Received notification on the 28 from you for Chilly Willy. I called Chilly Willy on the 29th at least 5 times no answer. I then called you back and was told we have to give them 24 hr. I called the 30th (24 hrs later) Chilly Willy hit another option and was able to leave messages which I left 4 messages on this urgency for at least an appointment. NOTHING! the morning of July 2 I had a company come out and fix our air conditioner and paid them, which I should NOT have to do with paying you every month. I did hear from Chilly Willy on Friday! 5 days later not acceptable when we are in 108 to 116 degree weather!

    I would like my $75 dollars refunded for NO service and would like to know who I go to get get back my $350 it cost me to have the motor fan replaced on my own? I am completely dissatisfied with First American and of course the company Chilly Willy you use. I will decide to keep you as our home warranty when I receive a response from you.

    So far, we are not satisfied with our experience. For our first claim, we had a contractor come out for an evaporator coil leak (clearly a covered item). Since it was going to take so long for someone to come out, we had to have our normal AC company, top off the refrigerant so the upstairs ac would function for our kids. The technician came out and charged us the service fee just to tell us that they could not repair or replace the evaporator coil because we had the refrigerant filled up prior to the appointment and we had to wait for it to completely fail and not refill the refrigerant before they could do anything. This is unacceptable in the Texas heat, that you can’t even have the refrigerant filled to keep your ac cool until they can get a technician out.

    Further more, if there is an evaporator coil leak, it should be repaired regardless of how low the refrigerant is. Then the repair company had the audacity to tell us if we sign a tune up service agreement with them, they can get a technician out faster next time we have a claim. The company had already decided to not repair it before they came out and just came out to charge the $85 service call fee. I am very disappointed and not impressed. I am hoping our experience will change and we will be able to leave a more positive review down the road. But at this time, we are unimpressed.

    First American Home Warranty has become a scam company since late 2020. I am a long time customer for more than 4 years. I have tenants, so to give them peace of mind, I choose to pay the premium plan from this company, knowing that they will provide professional jobs on services on the appliances. I did not calculate the exact number they charge me on top of the monthly premium, and the service fee. My tenants were using it most of the time and they constantly have to call them to complain about their services. We gave them many chances, because we don't believe that in this country there can be an accredited company with employees lying to customers constantly on a regular basis. This has to be their company culture.

    To give you an idea, they are no different from a cheap and scam like insurance company, which eventually just rip you off on the premiums and planning all along not doing a thing the whole year. The last straw on the camel for us it was from January 2021 to July 2021. Hear this out before you wonder if you should buy the premium. In January 2021, they went to check a Miele dishwasher. They tried to fix it, but it got more damaged. They promise to come and fix it completely, but they need a part to be delivered from factory in order to fix it. In March they told me they have lost the part. I was very angry, for wasting my time for two months. My tenants thought it to be unbelievable. They are the one who damaged the machine in the first place. They offered me a new dishwasher, of course not miele brand, but the same standard and size, to be delivered that month. I waited till May, they still do not deliver.

    I ask for refund for the premium, FOR WASTING MY TIME. They refuse. Instead they told me they found the part and they will go fix it. 2 weeks passed, they told me again, they lost the part, so they will offer me a new machine. Another 2 weeks, no machine. Called them again, they say they have the part. On June 27 they went to fix the machine. On June 28 my tenants told me that they DID NOT DO A THING about the machine. After the holiday, I called them, they offer me a new machine again, with even brands and model numbers. 3 days past, I called them to confirm, they told me that case is closed. No machine, no fixing, and I have to continue paying premiums. And they wasted 6 months of our time. You will not believe the dishonest culture in this company.

    I would not recommend this company at all, they make everything very difficult and do not communicate properly. As far as I'm concerned, they are not out to help you - just themselves. I had them send out an appliance tech to come out and replace my dishwasher. After he broke a line and caused water damage to my home. They sent out a plumber to fix the line that the appliance tech had broken. Later, when I and my home insurance company claims rep tried to reach out to them to get information on the contractor that broke the line and caused my water damage - they ghosted us.

    They refused to respond to any requests for information and acted as if they had no information regarding the damage caused by the contractor. They also supported the contractor more than the paying client. I'm out my $1k deductible thanks to this company - they have no shame. They also have call reps that don't even understand the issues we're having - at one point they tried to charge us for a service we never even used and they tried to send it to collections- they're always trying to figure out how to avoid paying you. Terrible.

    I had issues arise with both my refrigerator and dryer after purchasing a new home and in both cases the technician failed to contact me or show up to at least one of the appointments I scheduled. First American made no effort to assist me in working through these scheduling challenges and did not treat this issue with any degree of concern or priority. As a company that operates as a middle-man between a consumer and a service technician, I find this to be completely unacceptable.

    Their role is to streamline this process but at every step in the process they only served to further waste my time (e.g. sitting on hold, talking to First American representatives who were either unwilling or unable to address my issues, etc) and to cause me more frustration. In retrospect, even though I had two repairs which would seem to have made this purchase a cost effective one for me, I regret purchasing a home warranty from First American on account of the hassle and frustration they introduced into my repairs. I will never purchase any service from them again and strongly recommend others steering clear of them.

    I had an issue with my garage door opener, which was my fault. I hung something on the track of the garage door opener and it made the garage door opener come misaligned. So, it caused the cable to come off of the winder. It took a couple of days before the gentleman could get out but when he did, he had it resolved within 20 minutes. Another issue I had was our cooktop. It’s gas and whenever you turn on one of the burners, it would whistle. When the gentleman first came out, he identified the problem right away. The gas was not regulated properly so it was coming through too fast. The pressure was too great so he ordered a pressure regulator, which took about 10 days to come in but they could schedule me probably 30 days out. The guy who came back out had it repaired within 20 minutes. The first guy who came out was positive but the second guy didn't have such a great demeanor and was arrogant.

    I've had First American for years and I was hesitant to renew with them simply because I've had issues in the past with them but they worked with consumer reviews. They’re top-rated so I renewed with them anyway. I recommend them to most people that I talk to who are having issues with their home warranty but usually, it’s people who don't have a home warranty service. Unfortunately, they're telling me some nightmare story that they had. I told them that First American is a good policy to pick up. I won't tell them they're foolish to not have one but I always tell them it's a good idea to purchase one in the future. There’s always the claim that you're going to get away with your $75 deductible and that's never the case. I had to have my conditioner replaced when it went out. And rather than the $75 deductible, it cost me $1,300. But $1,300 is better than $3,000 that it would have cost me.

    The process for submitting a claim to First American Home Warranty was easy but the wait was long. That’s to be expected these days though. Most anything with a contractor is long. The tech was a very quiet person and when he was done, he left. He was there on Monday and I tried the washer Wednesday evening and it wouldn’t work. So, I called and started the process again and the wait was just as long even though they had tried to repair it. For some reason, it still wasn't working. But when they came back out to double-check, it worked again. so, I coulda goofed. The only thing that would have made a difference to me was if they were a little faster on the second call.

    Have made multiple service requests. Air conditioning has been out for a month. First request was made due to air conditioning not working. Contractor was not able to make initial visit for two weeks. Contractor made first visit and unit was not fixed. I called back and told First American issue was not resolved, was assigned back to contractor, they came out next day and replaced a part. Air conditioner still not working and temperature outside has been in the 90s. Contacted First American again, assigned me back to the same company which could not schedule another visit for 3 weeks. I called back to First American and requested another contractor. Was told my request would be escalated to a supervisor for review and someone would contact me within 4-8 hours.

    After 4 days I had not received a call. Called back to First American and was told I would be given a one time check for $150 for a portable AC unit. The air conditioning is out upstairs in my home which is about 1500 square feet. One portable unit will only cool one bedroom, there are 4 in my family. Requested another company come visit sooner, this was finally approved and was assigned to another company. After 2 days I still have not been given a date/time the contractor will be out to look at AC unit. Very disappointed with the service of First American and the lack of concern for my family being in a home without air conditioning in 90 plus degree weather. Very dangerous situation.

    This is the 5th time I have had someone come to look at the air conditioner. He told me nothing was wrong other than needing a new filter! I called JB air conditioning to look at it. He told me only 1 computer board was replaced and the other one was disconnected. I won't be able to run heat come winter until the wiring and computer board is fixed. He said the fan needed to be replaced that it is not running at a speed to keep the house cool because of the computer board is not working. (Previous warranty person told me this was fixed. I think it was Sam's air.) I was also told the coils needed to be cleaned or replaced and that in all the home warranty visits no one cleaned the air conditioner like you are supposed to! I am now waiting on a quote to get my air working. I am so angry about the people you send out. I had someone come out and look at my well and cleaned the contacts only. This did not fix anything.

    I was told by someone I hired on my own that the box on the well needed to be replaced. 75.00 for each visit and nothing fixed! I had a plumber to call a contracted/ Bonded plumber because your Co could not find one to fix the leak in the garage which I paid 75.00 to you and the guy came out gave me a quote and I sent it in and you were asking for an itemized statement. I hire someone on my own and paid 2000.00 to fix the pipes that you were could not send anyone to help repair. I am paying a monthly fee plus 75.00 service call for people who are not fixing, repairing and doing a half ass job and nothing is working properly. So. No the work was not performed correctly on the air, well or pipes. Your company needs to find better companies to contact with. I think one more bad person comes out I will be canceling your company. I will be sending you the bill for the air conditioner when JB air fixes the air your people did not fix!!

    Pool pump stopped running. Called in that same evening. Got a e mail Aqua Bright would be coming out next day between eight and noon. They showed up first thing in the morning, tested pump, confirmed that pump was burned out and would be a few days to get replacement. They called next day, stated that they have a replacement, if it was ok to come out that day. I was surprised but happy. Showed up, removed old pump and installed the new pump. Every thing was great. Couple days went by notice something wasn’t right, check it out, pump was no longer running. Turned on and off nothing happened.

    After a positive interaction with First American Home Warranty, Kim increased their star rating on July 7, 2021.

    Updated review: July 7, 2021

    I overall am satisfied with my result. I think the company finally came to a fair and just solution. The reason I have still knocked off two stars is because of their automated phone system and because my final solution took two full months. Their phone system takes way too long to get ahold of a representative and when I finally would, the rep wouldn't have the most up-to-date info on my service case. I'd be on the phone a minimum of 2 hours every time to get updates, if any.

    Original Review: July 1, 2021

    We opened a service request on 05/01/2021 and paid the initial $75.00 service request fee to have them look into a refrigerator issue where temperatures were fluctuating and not holding in the freezer/fridge properly. The Warranty service subcontracts to repairmen nearby, so this review is strictly going to cover the customer service and resolution handling of First American's responsibility to cover and maintain our appliances.

    The first repairman was a joke. Spent 3 seconds looking at the fridge and left. We requested a new repairman as we had no faith our issue would be resolved with that subcontractor. First American provided a new service repairman to inspect the issue. This was good. Second repairman spent time and really diagnosed the issues with the appliance. Parts and labor were beyond the scope of the pre-approved amounts First American allowed, so the repairman got authorization for the repairs. First American approved and arranged for the repairs to be made the following week with parts being shipped out to us directly through them.

    The parts never arrived. We had to follow up several times. Each call takes a minimum of 40 minutes to even get to someone. After weeks of calls and representatives answering my calls, I still could not get an update on the parts. Even then, the rep tends to not know anything about the account and a transfer is initiated which takes another 20 minutes. Based on the 15 times we have attempted to call (which I have been tracking now) this is always the issue. This appears to be a designed hurdle to limit the need to support their customer's requests. Most people cannot plan and forfeit this time from their working days. We have had to take special time off, miss out on work and pay in order to try to resolve this issue through their channels. At this point I honestly think we can resolve this through litigation quicker!

    The reps could never tell me the status which is terrible as that is their job. I finally got a status update two weeks later after dozens of calls and the parts arrived a more than a week after that. The 2 parts finally arrive June 16th and two technicians arrive June 18th. These 2 technicians diagnose my fridge a completely different way (than the past 2 visits I received from the other technicians) and tell me that the 2 parts that arrived June 16th will not help. They place an order with First American for two completely different and new parts.

    Fast forward to today, July 1st, another two weeks after the last technicians visited and I have heard nothing from first American. Meanwhile it has been two months since I started my service request and have not had a working fridge! What am I even paying for with this warranty company at this point. This company feels like a scam. I call daily at this point and I can never get ahold of my "assigned rep". I have left dozens of voicemails and written emails over these two months and nothing!! First American has never called me back although they have promised to do so many times. I am on hold as we speak! Just to get a rep to answer a call takes hours! They put you on hold and transfer you multiple times. Every attempt I call to get an update takes at least two hours on the phone only to still have no answers for me.

    The hours I have lost, the time I have taken off from work to be home for these technicians, and the pain I have felt for not having a working fridge for 2 months is beyond ridiculous. I want justice. I want what is fair. There has been many heat waves here in CA and I haven't had cold water or food since do not have a working fridge. My health is now at risk and I will not take this lightly.

    This is the worst company I have ever dealt with in my life! I agree with all the other reviewers in that I would give a zero star review if it were possible. This is just poor customer service by design. the company limits the ability to even contact them by design to avoid paying out service requests or providing support. This should be investigated and a class action lawsuit should be approached. The fact that I've already paid $645 for nothing. They have yet to replace or fix anything even though I've been promised otherwise. Do not ever use this warranty company.

    Would give negative stars if I could. This company is unreliable and dishonest. They assigned a company to repair our washing machine that had 0.5 star and terrible reviews but since they were contracted with First American, they assured us that they were a reliable company. This company came to our 3 times over a 6 week span and were unable to repair the washing machine and kept telling us they needed to order new parts until finally, they deemed the washing machine was unfixable and needed to be replaced. First American tells us that this is indeed the case on Saturday and they are waiting for a report Monday. However on Monday, they now tell us that the repair company found a "bra wire" in our washing machine that caused damage and it would not be covered.

    This was a shock because neither the repair company of First American said anything about a wire on Friday or Saturday, and now they cannot provide us with any invoices of the work they completed when they came, and will not allow us to speak to a manager or the technician because they do not speak to customers. There is no wire to be found in all the parts they left strewn around our washing machine and all they could provide was a zoomed in picture of the wire that could have been taken anywhere. The repair company also broke several other parts of the washing machine during their attempted repair and now we do not even have an option of trying to repair the machine because several other parts are broken.

    After several calls from to First American to ask for proof of this, they say they cannot release notes to customers and the proof is in pictures uploaded to my customer portal which when clicked on, lead to nothing. No one (and I have spoken to over 10 people at this point) can answer any of my simple requests for proof of the invoice or notes but then continue to say that it will now suddenly not be covered and even closed the claim. I spent 3 hours of hold only to be disconnected and never got a call back from the supervisor who this was escalated to. Please don't waste your money and time on this warranty company! Would not recommend it to any homeowner.

    I filed a claim with them for a broken water heater. They came out 2 days later and said they had to order the part. They then said that I would have to pay $500 in modifications to install the new water heater because they ordered a different brand than what I currently have. Part of their modification include water and gas lines which are necessary for proper use, not modifications. I can't get anyone on the phone to understand that those modifications are required, not optional. Their cash-out option only covers the cheap replacement part, not even close to covering the cost of a complete install. I keep getting transferred to people who just state the contract and limited liability. Their service absolutely terrible. They also wouldn't be able to install the new one until almost a week after it initially broke. I have children. I cannot be without hot water.

    First American Home Warranty is the most dysfunctional, unhelpful company I've ever encountered. They seem to only be good at one thing: taking your money. Two things if you include wasting your time. Three if you include NOT fixing anything. 6 MONTHS AGO our fridge broke so I filed a claim. 6 MONTHS LATER the fridge is still broken and I have a garage full of random fridge parts First American sent us, most of which have NOTHING to do with the issue. And during that time, I've wasted hours trying to call them to get service even while they continue to bill me every month. Our policy came with the house so we didn't shop around and I don't know how their price compares to others. Maybe they're so bad because they're cheap?

I called First American and sent pictures to a Shelly ** and she said she has seen this 3 times at her own house that is over 60 years old. She said she has no idea why it would be denied and overturned it because it was obviously normal wear and tear.

    They sent Vintage plumbing out that said he would have to call and talk to First American for approval because he may have to cut a hole for access. Two days later I had heard nothing and called the plumber who wouldn't answer then I called the warranty co who put me on hold for an hour to tell me it was denied again. I said no it was overturned and they tried to call the plumber who again didn't answer. I am now on my 5th call to customer service and still can't get ahold of the plumber. First American said it was their policy to not let customers speak with their managers. I am not sure how that is possible.

    I submitted a claim and I was dealing with a business that was very difficult to get to come out. First, they couldn't see me for a week and a half. Then, I agreed to a phone call, but it didn't get through. I offered to set up a Zoom and they said they didn't do that. They offered to come out on Saturday and told me on the phone that they'd be here at 12:00 to 5:00. The next day, I received a text that they would be there from 3:00 to 6:00. So, I assumed the text was the most recent as that's usually how it works. I was home from 2:00 to 7:00 and there was no way to get them because it was a Saturday. When I called up, they said I was supposed to be at home from 12:00 to 5:00. But I told them that they sent me a text about coming at 3:00 to 6:00.

    Every other company that First American sent me had it together as far as they called and the person who'd be coming would give a 30-minute notice. But this contractor was really rude. You're waiting 30 minutes for them to answer the phone just to be spoken to poorly and I don't think that's who First American is. Then, it took them a while to set up another appointment. I had to get the home warranty involved and they ended up coming. But when the tech was here, he said that I had a faulty motor on the refrigerator and water damage. I told him that I've had that water damage since I've moved in but the water was not hooked up. He insisted that it was hooked up, but I asked him to look and he said I was right.

    Then, when he talked to First American, he told them it was water damage. There was nothing in writing and First American didn't even bother to follow up. I just got a phone call saying it was not covered. I really felt it became personal that I had complained about them. It was a little suspicious in the sense that the refrigerator had been working fine. There was no more water damage because it had been disconnected for 10 years. It was really frustrating to me more so that no one even bothered to follow up and didn't read red flags. I also didn't like that a technician could leave and tell me one thing, and there was nothing in writing and then he'd say something else. The bad part was, no one wants to go without a freezer for a month, and that was what ended up happening. And I just ended up buying another refrigerator.

    Other than this incident, for the most part, my experience with First American has been really great. The electrician that they sent was amazing and went above and beyond. I really loved him. Overall, I've been really happy. It's just they shouldn't be dealing with companies like the one I had for the refrigerator. If I have to wait longer than a week for an appointment, then it should be next company or give me another option.

    I'm a little bit frustrated at the communication early on and how long some things took. I called right away and things moved quickly. Then, I got in touch with the contractor and they said they couldn't be out for three weeks which was not okay given the heat. So I contacted First American again and said that my situation was an emergency. I was told that things had been upgraded, sent to consumer services and that I would hear back within 24 hours to fix. I waited a bit longer than 24 hours and called back. I was told, "No, you were not upgraded. That never happened. I don't have any record of that, and so we're gonna have to start that process now." I told them to start calling right away and I was told that it was a weekend and that they couldn't get a hold of anybody. That delayed my claim for four days.

    First American's special agent then gave me the ability to go outside of network which was greatly appreciated. The tech was able to fix it and according to him, the fuse blew. He also doesn't think that my AC will last much longer. I will most likely be using the service again in the summer. Overall, I'm happy that I have air conditioning. My expectations have generally been met but the expectation is that the policy guaranteed liveable conditions. This repair would have cost me 120 bucks more to get the issue fixed myself but it would have been fixed a week earlier. In most contexts, I'll wait a week to save 120 bucks but not when it's this hot. I love First American and I appreciate the way they've helped me. But in this incident, I would have paid out-of-pocket to get my issue fixed.

I've got a repair going on now and I was given an appointment for yesterday between 10:00 and 2:00. The tech told me to turn my refrigerator off the day before so I did. I had to take stuff to my son's and he had to put my refrigerated stuff in and buy ice.

    But then the repair people from Sears didn't show up. It turned out that one of the parts did not come in yet. But they never let me know anything that they were not gonna be there. The reason I am just aggravated at the insurance and the repair people is because when something goes wrong with the whole thing, I can't get in touch with anybody. I tried every way to get in touch with somebody. It took me all day to get in touch with anyone. We're going on three weeks now with this refrigerator freezer issue. I'm not very happy.

I must say, that when you buy a home you desire to take the best care of it and having the best home warranty company like First American Home Warranty is what you need to accomplish that. It's a good feeling when you're covered by the best.

    The claims process sometimes took a little bit longer because of the COVID virus. Also, some of the technicians came in and disappeared and we never heard from them. This latest claim that we had took a little bit longer to fix than we had anticipated. They could get better with communication and getting back to a person a little quicker might be good. But other than that, it was pretty good.

    I submitted a claim with First American because we have a tub problem, something's wrong with the pipe. But they're not fixing it, so it's not a good claim. They're not giving me the rest of the information. They told me that they would have to look at the pictures to see whether if the plumber said valid stuff or not. Yet, they don't have the pictures, and then I just got a letter saying that they're not going to cover it. So I'm trying to figure out why in the world did they tell me that they had to have the pictures, and then they don't have the pictures, and they're still saying that they're not covering that.

    But they're good at covering a claim. This is the first time they ever said no to something. But that's with the plumber and they won't give me a second opinion with another plumber, although it's taken over a month just to get me having a plumber in there. Also, if there's a problem, I have to call them every single time nonstop to get the issue fixed. They do not call me back. I'm always on the phone trying to get the problem solved. But other than that, they eventually get the claim going and they fix it. If the product is not able to be fixed, they give it back to me. If I have the system working to where it could get to work, then it's good.

    My oven wasn't working right so I called First American. They sent someone out to check it out. It had a motherboard that needed to be replaced so they replaced that. The oven latch kept sticking when I was trying to clean the oven and they fixed that too. I was extremely happy. From the time I called in, it took about two weeks before the repairman can make it. But when he made the appointment, he was here on time. He was here probably two hours at the most and cleaned up everything when he left. First American saves money long-term. You pay a big bunch of money at the beginning but if you have a problem, it picks up the cost. I'm not sure how much the motherboard would have cost, but I'm sure it would’ve cost me more than the home warranty did.

    We bought our new home and thought we were so lucky to get the home warranty for our appliances, well 2 months and tons of hours wasted on the phone, plus the multiple strangers they keep sending to our home to not fix the problem, we are not feeling lucky. We have had an issue with our dishwasher after two tech visits and one repair attempt it was still not fixed, I had to call American Home Warranty and fight with them to not send the same tech after he no showed for the 3rd visit. Then they send a second company who looks at it and diagnoses the issue. Said he needs to order parts, now a week and a half later they attempt to send a 3rd tech to come diagnose the problem because the last was not Electrolux certified, they picked that company!!!

    And no one called to share this information with us! Now they want us to let a 3rd person into our home to diagnose the issue and hope they can fix it! And no one who is “handling our case” will contact us. Worst communication and the worst customer service. They act like they are doing me a favor by not charging me the deductible again, the problem was never even fixed!!!!

    I was with Choice Home Warranty and I wasn't very happy with them, so I started considering other companies, and that was when I got First American's sales flyer. The contractors have been very cordial and professional. They rarely don't meet the timeframe that they give you, and they clean up after themselves. The only thing is I find setting stuff up online a little confusing that I had a hard time with it.

    I've had two claims with First American Home Warranty and the submission was very easy. I used their online portal, and I got an immediate response within a few hours. The first claim was the door rekey, and that was good. The second one was when the water was clogged in one of the bathrooms. There was seepage. The clogged water was resolved, but the seepage was not covered under First American Home Warranty. The technician who came to check the water seepage told me that it is not covered. For the water blockage, that technician was really explaining things and he was very good.

    So far, the two claims were good. But they could probably cover more things with respect to homes. Right now, we are paying $75 each time somebody comes out. The coverage and the amount for each time somebody comes out could be reduced or increased accordingly to the job. Certain jobs do not require more than 15 minutes of effort, so it's not too difficult.

    We had an issue with the blower motor for the air handler for the air conditioning. I called First American Home Warranty. It’s irritating that it usually takes about a week to get somebody out here. That's nuts when you got terrible heat. Somebody came out and they ordered the blower motor. It came a few days later, so now we're up to 10 days, and then they installed the motor. It worked, but it had to be the wrong motor because it made a whole lot of racket inside the house when the blower was running. Then one day, it decided not to work anymore. I called back up and I said, “Hey, this blower motor is not right.” So, they sent out a different company. A technician came in and looked at it. He said, “No. This is bogus. This thing is a universal motor they put in there. It's not the right one.” They got the right motor, put it in, and the thing has been whisper quiet and very efficient ever since. So I'm happy chappy with that episode.

    Two months ago, my refrigerator freezer just quit. I called up, then I went online to answer the thing as well. They had a problem apparently of getting some sort of appliance technician. The one that's normally used was Sears, which is like a generic service company. They operate on all of appliances and I know that they've got access to all sorts of parts. It was 10 days out after I called that they would first send somebody out. And I thought that's totally unreasonable to have no refrigerator or freezer for 10 days. I'm not going on a 10th camping trip someplace. You lose a whole lot of perishables and everything else, which is not your fault as a company. They explained that. They're not liable for it.

    I called back and I said, “Hey, is there somebody else that might respond sooner?” The next thing I get is an email and it said, “This company should be calling you.” It was four days rather than a week. So this other company came, and I thought, “Well, it wouldn’t knock you over as far as having a piece of equipment, like a truck, a spiffy uniform and all the rest of that stuff.” But the tech did have a shirt with his company name on it and a proper ID. He knew his business. He came in and inspected everything for about 45 minutes. He said, “Now, I gotta call for parts and get approval from First American.” The next day, he came back and he had a little part. He finally sourced out the proper part that fits in between, so it was actually two parts. He came back two days later because the weekends had come in between, and stores are closed. He installed it, and it's been running beautifully ever since.

    First American Home Warranty's policy does what it says it will do. I understand we've got COVID and everybody's supply chains are screwed up and a lot of people don't want to work so available service people are maybe hard to find, but it worked out for me. I had paid Sears with a credit card for the owner portion of the bill, and it's 75 bucks and that was soon returned to me by home warranty. First American has taken care of my appliance issues. The cost is fair, and I'm happy.

    After that was repaired it started leaking again from the upstairs bathroom and a tech fixed it again. That tech said that the people who came out the first two times fixed the leak wrong. FAHW came out three times. It was the same contractor for three different problems and the first two didn't even exist.

    We had American Home Shield for a long time then one day, they cancelled us. We needed a new warranty, and I looked them up on the website and compared it with other people. First American was the one I called, talked to and was the most impressed with. Because they are not a 5-star and some of those others I talked to were. Our most recent claim with First American was for our oven, which needed a part in it, and it took forever to find it. The warranty company doesn't let the technician buy the part. They've been doing that themselves, and that part took about a month and a half to get here.

    The biggest problem is their policy. Right now, parts are in short supply, and they have a policy that the technician has to buy it through them. That's because they think they can get it cheaper, but they never follow up with the client and tell him where it is. They say, “We're gonna buy it,” then say they can call the client and find out where it is. But I always have to call them back and they say, “I'll call the supplier.” They've never phoned out anything to us that says, “We expect the part in on June the 4th.” We waited two months when our upper oven needed a new motherboard. I agree, motherboards are in short supply, but the technician here in Oklahoma City may have been able to find one.

    First American also puts a lot of stuff with Sears, and Sears comes out, shows up, says we're gonna have to replace the unit and never comes back. We've been unhappy with Sears. Other than that, we're perfectly happy with the technicians that come out here. This new one, Jet Plumbing, has been prompt and on the money. As a matter of fact, all of the plumbing contractors have been very prompt and able to fix everything. The appliance people have been held up by being required to go through First American to have the parts.

He said, "Well, I just got the call on my way over here, and I'm sorry but they stole my license." I said, "No. I don't let anybody in my house." He said, "Well, I can show you the work order." I verified it with the person that was in charge, but that guy didn't have tools. I like that First American Warranty always sends good contractors. That's the best thing.

    The technician didn't know what he was doing and then I didn't get any feedback on what they were doing. They were very slow and I wasn't impressed. I called them to see what the status was and whoever answered the phone was short with me. Dealing with that company was not a good experience. However, it was just a short day or two after, I got a call from First American, which was great.

    I am pretty happy with my experience, though some of the contractors have taken a long time to schedule an appointment and even longer (nearly two months) to perform the necessary work. Lots of waiting, which is frustrating. I’d also like to see shorter windows for the contractor to arrive. I’m currently in my fourth hour of waiting for a plumber.

    I feel very comfortable with First American. They've done a good job. Dealing with Sears or any appliance repair has been difficult. The technicians are great but not the coordination of appointments and the communication back and forth about when they're going to be here. They canceled several times on us without telling us for sometimes, the right reason and sometimes, no reason. Parts have been difficult to get. Once they got here, things have gone fine. It's just that it took five weeks to get our dishwasher repaired. The parts were here, and the communication back and forth between First American and Sears was really difficult. I called and checked up on things and said, “Are everything good to go for our appointment this week, everything good tomorrow?” Then they didn't show. I called and asked if they were you coming. They said, “Oh, no, no. There's a problem with the part.” I checked three times.

    First American came with a seller's warranty, and we enhanced it with just about every coverage that they offer. I had no experience with home warranties before, and we are so pleased that it came with the transaction of the house because we had a lot of things go wrong. I realized how the relationship worked and how helpful they can be and what the limitations are and understanding that, and they were very good about explaining all that on each situation. My experience has been great as far as having a home warranty with First American. I would definitely recommend it to other folks. I don't know what we would have done if we didn't have it. It's just that self-assurance that, maybe not everything would be covered, but it's either going to get repaired or replaced, and it limits your out-of-pocket stuff.

    Sears aside, everybody else has been really professional, communicated very well and showed up on time. We had York Mechanical Services and they were fantastic. It was a difficult situation because our heat pump and air handler went. That was a big expense. Everybody kind of worked together to minimize the risk. First American helped as much as they could on even some of the not covered things. They we're supposed to be repaired, and it didn't happen because they replaced it. Then we got a cash out value, which lowered our liability even further. They really worked with us to do the right thing by us even though we've had a lot of service request, and we're kind of a nightmare client.

    I had American Home Shield and I just let it lapse. Then First American Home Warranty called me and I got a better monthly premium with them. When I signed up, I just did it online. Then they automatically renew it unless you want to cancel it. To do a claim, you can do that online or you can call them. It's $85 for a service call. If they can't fix an issue, then they'll replace it. I just had my microwave door replaced because the spring in it broke.

    I've had two different guys come out here. One was when my hot water heater was leaking back in April. First American didn't cover that because it was under the manufacturer's warranty, which I didn't realize at the time. The guy was very nice. The guy that fixed my microwave came a month and a half ago when the door wouldn't latch. He kinda rigged it because one of the springs inside there broke. Then he went ahead and ordered me a new door. He came and put that in today. So, I am very happy with them, besides my hot water tank, which really wasn't their fault because it was under the manufacturer's warranty.

    The contractor was irresponsible. He was asked to go to the location on an emergency situation and he did. Upon arriving, he assessed the issue and explained to First American what the issue was and needed an approval to proceed. An approval was requested and granted that same day. He left and did not start the repair. Here it is 14, 15 days later, he answered his call and there was no explanation or apology. First American said that he's going out there today between 10:00 and 12:00. I haven't called to confirm if he's there yet but the service was deplorable.

    I explained to First American what this crisis was. They said they were going to get a contractor to come out but between the time I last called or made a connection with First American, the response from the contractor and them was very far in-between. I had to call back again and ask, "Did you get a contractor? When is the contractor coming," or tell them, "The contractor came. This was assessed but it's not done. When will it be done? What's the follow-up?" I don't expect First American to drop the ball for every request I make but when I emphasize the urgency, it is not granted. That is where I would consider leaving them. I have experienced some bad previous experiences but it's getting progressively worse. I've recommended four people to them, most recently were my parents, and it's not beneficial in any way, me recommending them and them having similar experiences.

    All in all, the experience is positive and I renew the warranty annually and plan to continue renewing. Very responsive and they address any issues within a day or less. Easy to file a claim online in minutes. Coverage is very good compared to competitors. The only negative thing is the contractors. When it is a large repair, they are experts at trying to find “non-covered” costs to add to the bill. The company sides with the contractors and never question their estimates.

    For a covered HVAC replacement, the contractors added $2000 in “modifications”, like disconnecting the power cable from the old unit and connecting it to the new one was $250 in (low power modification), same for the high voltage wire, and for the 2 drain pipes. When informing the warranty about this abuse, they never question the contractor or allow a second opinion. Same goes for replacing an electric panel. Contractor added $700 in “grounding” because it is excluded from policy. They need better contractors, or stricter oversight.

Whenever I would submit a claim, they'd say that within 24 to 48 hours, I should be getting a phone call from the contractor that they loaned out. The techs who come are usually good, too. I just had someone out for my dishwasher and he was pleasant and very nice to deal with. It took a little bit longer to repair than what we originally expected but they ended up following through it. They needed a part, so they had to order that and it took a week to finish the repair.

    We had a leak and it caused our house to flood. The first plumber that came out supposedly fixed the leak but a day later, we came downstairs and the place was flooded again. First American had to send another tech out and he stopped the leak. The process for submitting the claim was also pretty straightforward. It's just that I should have looked closer at the actual items covered in a home warranty. If you can get to use it properly and if you have a large loss, the deductible for $75 is worth it. But most of the things that we've had had been smaller issues below the deductible, so they haven't been reported. Then, there was something that we had that was a larger expense, but it wasn't covered under warranty. Other than that, First American's reps were congenial and we got action from them swiftly.

    There's an inconsistency with the quality of the contractors that come out. We've gotten some real good ones and we would like to be able to ask them to send or not send certain contractors but that option is not available. When the refrigerator wasn't cooling, the first guy that came to replace the fan placed it upside down. Then, they got somebody out that knew what they were doing and got it working. It took four calls to do it, but we were able to get it.

    Everything's going great now with First American. I recommended them to my friend and he signed up but I don't know what happened to the $25 referral fee if they put it on my account or not. I just had a good service yesterday from the plumbing company, AJ Bono, and I was calling First American back because I wanted the guy to come out again to look at the sink. I forgot to tell the plumber about it and they told me to call First American to kind of give them an update if he's gonna come back. Other than that, it hasn't had any problems since.

    We had a little bit of an issue when it came down to the air conditioning last year. When I first signed up with First American around April last year, it was a series of things. I made a report that our heater and air wasn't working. First American sent somebody out and the guy didn't know how to do the work. He said we needed a specialist to deal with our air conditioning situation. First American sent another company out. They said they could do it but I needed a lot. It had something to do with the condenser, the hoses and the airflow wasn’t going right, etc.

    Several companies came and couldn't do it or didn’t specialize in it. One company, Eco-Pro, could but when they came out to do the work, they noticed that there was mold in the wall when they took out the system. They said that they couldn't do the work until the mold is removed. I got a contractor to remove the mold then I contacted Eco-Pro back. They came out and was saying I needed to provide them with a certificate that it's been removed. I took some pictures and showed them that it was removed. Nobody told me that I had to provide them with a certificate that it’s been removed. I told them to forget it and that I was going to go somewhere else and would be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Before you know it, they said they'd go ahead and accept it. It was the whole summer we didn't have air. The whole winter, we didn't have heat. It was a disaster. We live in Suisun City in a really hot area. They fixed it but it was a lot of going back and forth.

    When I first moved in, I had a problem with the air conditioner and the company that came out was exceptional. They thought it was the thermostat, so they replaced it. I still had issues, so they came out again. But I didn’t have any issues with having to pay again. They spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what it was and it was something electrical under the house. The technician replaced some kind of circuit board. This past time, I had somebody come in again to repair. They repaired my icemaker, and then it broke again. So they're coming out to repair it again.

    I started seeing some insulation coming out from my vents. So, I called First American up and tried to find out what was going on. They sent an air conditioner company. That company told me that I had a mouse infestation under my house and they were eating through the ductwork and they weren't responsible for that. So, I called an exterminator. He went in the house and didn't see any signs of mice. I called the duct cleaning company to come out and they cleaned all the ductwork and said it looked like new construction. When they ripped the ducts, they never cleaned them. Basically, the air conditioner company guy was just not a very good guy. So I told First American that I didn't want that company coming back out again.

    First American Home Warranty has been really good as far as customer service goes. But some of the companies they've chosen haven't been that great. Other than that, I'm probably gonna renew again with them.

    The technician came to check refrigerator but not able to diagnose the issue. Second technician was dispatched and diagnosed issue but told me that the compressor need it to be changed. But he could not change it because it was under manufacturer warranty. He provided me with number and information to call manufacturer. I was still charged $75 dollars for visit and no repair was performed.

    Hello Jesus,

    Our records indicate you placed a claim for your kitchen refrigerator not working properly. Upon review, DG Refrigerator Repairs reported the compressor failed and needed replacement. However, the LG refrigerator is under part and labor warranty with the manufacturer. Please be advised, We are not responsible for repairs covered under an existing manufacturer's warranty. You may refer to home warranty contract under Limits of Liability, Number Eleven. Please be advised, First American waived the service call fee as a onetime gesture of goodwill. Your claim is considered closed.

    Thank you.
