    I had a preseason tune-up for the fall. All Star Heat & Air came out to check to make sure the heating unit was good. They were very professional and they did a great job. My biggest complaint about it is I couldn't talk to a person and I had to keep trying to get to a person. It was all automated. Then, I had some personal expenses and I had to cancel the warranty. Canceling the subscription was a lot harder than making a claim. It was harder to get in touch with someone, but the whole cancellation process was handled very effectively. I would purchase the warranty again later at some point when this issue is resolved. They seem to live up to their claims and do what they say they're gonna do. Also, they were easy to deal with and sent out quality people.

    I was talking to my daughter and she had a problem with her air conditioning unit. She said, “I use my home warranty to get it repaired.” I said, “Who do you have?” She said, “First American Home Warranty.” I got it the same day she told me about it. Submitting a claim with them has been easy. I can call them if I want to. I usually just go online and hit the prompt, and tell them what's going on. I get a text message telling me who’s gonna help me and how to get in contact with them. I like the ease of getting an appointment and the speed more than anything. My recent claim went well. I got the day and the time that I wanted. When the contractor came out, did an outstanding job, went in there, solved the problem and fixed it.

    We had a clogged drain. FAHW made the claim process very easy. The vendor they sent out has been here a couple of different times over the years and he's very helpful. It was a wonderful experience as far as the clogged drain goes. Most of the technicians are great. I've never had a problem with the technicians. Sometimes the problem doesn't get fixed, but maybe it was the wrong problem.

    However, one disappointing thing this year is they now charge me $100 per incident. So I had two clogged drains. Previously, I would pay 100 bucks or 75 bucks and they would fix both drains or whatever plumbing issues were there. Now even if it's the same plumber coming, and you've got a backed-up toilet and a clogged sink, that's considered two visits. That would make me reconsider renewing for another year after this.

    Every time I've submitted a claim has been great. The techs come on time, got me notified, and did the job. For my pool, it took a little bit longer to send somebody out because it was during the summer time. But they were really good. Same with my air conditioning system. It was a 100-degree temperatures but they still sent somebody out within a reasonable time. They did disallow one claim and they rightly did so because it wasn't covered in the warranty.

    When my wife bought a new home, the seller offered First American. We've had them 20 years now and they weren't so great. But this time, they were terrific. I had a hot water problem on a Friday morning. By Friday afternoon, they had sent somebody out here and solved the problem. I thought that I was gonna get stinky over the weekend. I told the dispatcher who was sweet that they may not want to wait the weekend. That was the first time that they were prompt to send somebody. The technician, David, was great. He liked wiring.

    I've been pretty satisfied with most of First American's contractors that have come. At the beginning, their contractors did the work but they could have been a little bit more professional. But it seems like they've gotten better with the companies that they're using now. I do prefer if the technicians were gonna come into my home, to wear those little bootie things over their shoes. I've been pretty satisfied with First American recently because at the beginning too, they either took forever to answer or to call me back.

    I would have put 0 star if available!!! This company sucks!! RUN AWAY as far away as you can, I purchased a home warranty from FIRST AMERICAN HOME WARRANTY and been with them for years, they have promised to repair any of my appliances under the contract or replaced if needed. They were so persistent for me to renew my contract since I never needed them. My HVAC went out and for 4 months I battled with them until I finally reach out to their upper management, they tried so hard to dismiss my claim instead of finding resolution. They found out I rent one of my rooms to help supplement my income and cancelled the contract in a heartbeat and claim they don't cover commercial properties. INSANE right?

    Tried to renew online and couldn’t. It didn’t recognize my password so I tried to change it. Received a code to verify my identity.

    We've recommended First American to numerous people. My husband has had it for about 10 years, and we've been married for about nine. They've always answered the phone when I call, and the reps are very professional and give me information. They're efficient and when they tell me somebody's gonna be here, they're here. Recently, the top basket on my dishwasher was loose and I couldn't shut the door and use the unit. The service person came out and fixed it. He was on time and gone in just a short time. Anybody that First American has ever sent out has been very polite. There was one contractor a few years ago that we had to have somebody else come back out though. Overall, we're very pleased with First American.

    So far, it's been good with First American. We've had them for four years now. We had a stove that went out and they sent someone out right away to look at it. The technician knew what they were doing but because it didn't have a model number on it, they couldn't fix it. First American wouldn't buy the kind of stove that we wanted. It was a 40-inch stove and that's what we had to have to fit the spot so they gave us the money for what they would have spent on a stove.

    First American is quick to respond to service requests. They also do follow-up sometimes with situations to let you know what's gonna happen and what to do if you don't hear from the company that they have referred the case to. I called them recently for the water faucet in the kitchen to filter water that wasn't working properly. In the meantime, another issue came up. I pay $100 every time somebody comes in to make a repair and they were able to take care of two on one call. The guy couldn't do it all that time and had to come back but still, it was only $100 for me. That was neat.

    I had one experience where First American was not able to find somebody to make a repair so they told me to go ahead and find somebody. When the person would come when they did the evaluation, they were to tell me the cost and I was to call First American and let them know what the cost was. The person quoted me a figure that was $25 more than what First American had told me their limit was. I told him to go ahead and do it. First American didn't pay me that additional money, and I didn't like that. It's a hassle when somebody comes to then take time and have to call them and wait on the phone. But that was their rule and I knew it ahead of time so it wasn't a surprise.

    First American is one of the better warranties out there. It’s at the top two of the list. They’re very good at getting a company set up. Even when an appointment didn't happen as quick as they wanted, they were very proactive to get someone out to the house. Dealing with the claims rep was excellent and it’s aways been a positive experience with the techs. The quality is good and the price is okay. I'd like to see the house visit go down a little bit because the monthly payment to have the warranty goes up each year. So, when the technician comes to your house, I'd like to see that go down $5 or $10.

    I have been with First American for more than 15 years. I used to have them on all my properties, and now I only have them on one. It's a love-hate relationship because sometimes they are really a pain to deal with. They find every excuse not to cover the problem. Sometimes, they are really wonderful. I used to have them at one of my properties in Oak Park and they gave me a very hard time about an air conditioning issue. Somebody came in and did some strange wiring without any permission and wanted to get money outside the warranty. I have a warranty. That's why I pay the warranty company. That somebody that came in who was hired by First American was not authorized to do any work that is not covered by warranty. So, he came back and ripped all the work. If I wanted to take legal actions, I should have, but I didn't.

    First American said, "Oh, to cover the compressor, it's $800." They did not want to do it. So, they ended up giving me a check for $800. I had to hire a private contractor and they changed the compressor for me. That made me also part companies with them at that property. For minor issues, they're very good. I still have them. Sometimes, I really like them a lot. Sometimes, whenever I have a major issue, they try and try their best not to do it.

    Five years ago, I moved into a new condo, so I looked for a warranty company. I looked at three and went with First American. One portion of this is very poor and another portion is decent. It's hit or miss, and it's very hard to get decent people coming out. I had service done in Philadelphia in my apartment in Wynnewood and the people they sent to work on my stove did a terrible job. They had to come back four times and it's still not right. The cooktop still doesn't work. I have to call First American again, but I don't have the time. I'm working, so it's very hard for me to schedule them. They will also charge me again, which I'm not happy about. On the other hand, I had something done with my refrigerator and they did a good job.

    First American sent a reputable company to do the job because it was a fancy refrigerator and the regular people couldn't fix it. The contractor was wonderful, and I was very happy with that, but that was a different time and location. I used the home warranty another time for a different appliance and I ended up having to pay to have an oven installed because they had crazy people. They dropped off a big, giant box in my living room and left it there for days. I had to call in a contractor to install the oven and they charged me $700, then a week and a half later, someone called me from Lowe's and said, "Oh, they're gonna install the oven." I said, "No, it's installed." I wasn't happy with that as well. If someone's gonna get First American, they have to be on top of every issue. If they don't like the people that they send, if they don't seem to know what they're doing, they have to get on First American to send somebody else.

    I would give zero stars if possible. On Thursday my water heater burst and we put in a claim. They assigned me a plumber that was working out of town until the following Tuesday. He said he told them but they assigned him anyway. So on Friday I informed them he was out of town and to re assign me a plumber that is actually working. They said for me to wait for dispatch to email me with another plumber. Well it is now Saturday morning and no plumber has called me.

    So I called again and asked talk to a supervisor and he said that dispatch was on the phone as we speak trying to find a plumber and I should know something soon. Well it’s Saturday night and still no call. There are over 900 plumbers in my city and they can’t find one? I highly discourage anyone to purchase their home warranties. I think they are delaying the repair until you hire your own plumber and then they can deny the claim. What a joke. BEWARE.

    While I have been happy with FAHW, I was not happy with the refrigerator repairman. He was unprofessional in my opinion. He brought his young son with him to my home and my roommate had to watch him. The initial diagnosis was over the phone. When the part came in, he showed up without letting me know I needed to defrost fridge. His 3rd visit was ok, but he made me nervous, because he was very rough with parts in my fridge. I will say he did an okay job, but not one I'd want to repeat.

    I've had experience with First American since 1994 and I know Marilyn who's a local representative, and she's very efficient and helpful. I'm a Realtor and I selected First American because of my experience in the real estate world of seeing how consumers have benefited from it, and I felt like the price was right. Time and time again, I've benefited from it. So, I just continued with it.

    We've had it since our first house. I like the convenience. My husband's not handy and he's busy. So, we just have a professional do it rather than doing it ourselves. Our most recent claim was for an air conditioner. We have a total of three air conditioners. We've got one unit upstairs, one downstairs, and then one was replaced, one was newer. One was above our garage which is attached to the house. This one wasn't that old, but there was something in the unit that needed to be replaced. They were so helpful because it was during the heat wave.

    They even gave me money towards an individual unit. They stayed right on top of it. They took care of us and it got done really efficiently. It was in the worst heat wave and there were parts that were being difficult to find. So, I couldn't sing their praises enough. As far as the quality of contractors, I always think every fourth one is not quality but I always feel like I can give them a call and say, "Look, find me somebody else." Early on, I made the mistake of being too shy and letting someone come in knowing they didn't know what they were doing. If they appear like they don't know what they're doing, I just back up and say, "Well, we're not the right fit." I call and they assign me someone else.

    It's very easy to submit a claim. I usually do it online. When one of our two air conditioning units stopped cooling, First American had a guy come out and he was very prompt. The unit started cooling, then a few weeks later, it stopped cooling again. I was able to just reopen that claim. He came back out within a day and got it cooling again, and it's been good ever since.

    Most of the time, our claims have been fantastic. We had one this summer that was a plumbing thing, and on the front end, it was a hassle getting scheduled with the company who rescheduled us three times after we waited through the arrival window. That was not normal. Over the past eight years that we've been with First American, most of it has been smooth-sailing. The scheduling aspect was a pain with the plumbing company, but in the end, they got the thing taken care of and everything worked out perfectly. We're happy with the work that they did.

    Call was made and repair did not fix the problem, second call was made. Was told over 90 days since first repair so needed to place a new work order. Placed a second work order and service provider said part could not be repaired and ordered a new door. After weeks, we received a letter from FAHW stating the claim was denied. When asked why it was covered the first time; was told it should not have been. They didn't mind taking the two payments for the service calls. It feels like since they were going to spend a little money to fix our problem it wasn't covered. Seems a little fishy to me. We have had this company for over 12 years with little use and treated this way. Maybe it's time to rethink about having FAHW. I have recommended this company to many people but I will never again.

After a couple of days, we noticed that it was not working properly.

That person came out and spent about two and a half hours and resolved the issues. It has been working flawlessly ever since. There was a few-day delay with the company that they contracted with.

    I've had their service for 2 years, and every time I tried to make a claim, they found ways to declare almost everything uncovered. This has happened on two separate occasions – once with my garage door and another time with my water heater. They send out technicians who provide highly inflated quotes, making it clear they don't actually intend to cover the repairs. On top of that, they still charge you a service fee, even when they refuse to cover the claim. It's obvious this is just a way for them to profit off customers without providing real coverage.

    I am extremely dissatisfied with First American Home Warranty’s (FAHW) failure to perform under their contract. FAHW conducted several inspections by their contractors. The first Vendor FAHW assigned Fair Air and Cooling completed an inspection and agreed to do the repairs, however FAHW stated they are no longer using Fair Air and Cooling. This led to FAHW assigning an alternate vendor.

    FAHW scheduled several sub-sequential vendors which completed inspections and came to the same conclusion as Fair Air and Cooling, however, the vendors followed up with refusals to complete the repairs for unknown reasons. These delays do not fall under the policy exclusions, given these were unnecessary delays caused by FAHW’s incompetence and the vendor’s unwillingness to complete repairs. The last vendor assigned inspected the HVAC unit and submitted their report. Soon after I received an email with a generic denial that provided no policy basis (enclosed document) for the denial. This led to additional delays as I tried to get FAHW’s customer service to explain to me the basis for their denial.

    After going around in circles with FAHW’s customer service for days I finally was able to determine that the denial was based on my HVAC unit being a commercial unit which is actually a covered item in the FAHW policy. Once the reason for the denial was determined, I was forced to go back and fourth with FAHW on the fact that a commercial unit is clearly covered per the policy. At one point a FAHW representative stated that their Vendor did their own research and determined that the HVAC on the house was for commercial use only and that is the basis for FAHW denial. Keep in mind that this is not the first repair I have had with FAHW on the HVAC, therefore FAHW had the opportunity to exclude the HVAC from the policy at that time if it was an issue.

    It finally came down to me doing the actual research and providing factual proof that the commercial HVAC unit on my house was confirmed for residential use to force FAHW to honor their policy. The irony is that once FAHW agreed to do the repairs they assigned Fair Air and Cooling the initial vendor that FAHW stated they did not use anymore. This means that there never needed to be a delay at all and the repairs could have been completed in a couple days.

    FAHW had no policy basis to deny this claim. As stated, FAHW had the opportunity to address this issue and possibly exclude the HVAC on the prior repair. Given that FAHW did not address the HVAC at that time and completed the repairs suggests that the coverage would continue to be in force. Additionally, the FAHW policy clearly states that a Commercial HVAC unit is covered in their policy, therefore the burden is on FAHW to show why the repairs would not be covered. FAHW’s denial was generic and proved no policy basis for their denial.

    The concern for me as a consumer and representing the public as a whole is that FAHW is purposely trying to deny claims and making it difficult for people understand the basis. The purpose of insurance has always been for a group of people to pool their resources in case one of them has a loss. It is not expected for an insurance company to make things so difficult that policy holder is unwilling or unable to pursue their claim. Not to mention that all of this occurred with extremely high temperatures and a heat advisory in the Phoenix area.

    The policy holder is sold by FAHW on how well they take care of people and that the consumer is paying for a product that will protect them is they have a loss. The policy holder should not be expected to have to learn the workings of household products to be able to dispute unsubstantiated denials. It should be expected that insurance companies have a high level of ethical standards to uphold and when they don’t that they are held accountable. As a result of delays that were unreasonable, a denial with no basis and no policy citing, false statements, and unwillingness to perform under their policy. My family was exposed to unnecessary expenses and hardships.

    Avoid this service—American Home Shield is far better than this scam. From the reviews, it's clear this is a recurring issue. I needed a dishwasher repair, and they sent someone who barely spoke English. He claimed the dishwasher just needed cleaning, which is why there was water buildup. I paid the $85 deductible, but the dishwasher still doesn't work. When I turned it on, there was a loud grinding noise, clearly indicating a more serious problem.

    When I called First American Warranty, they just referred to the technician's write-up, dismissing my concerns. It seems they have contracts with these companies that allow them to write anything down, and then they claim it's not covered under warranty—leaving you stuck after paying your monthly fees and deductible. They suggested I hire an outside company for another opinion, but they won’t cover the diagnostic cost. At this point, I could have bought a brand-new dishwasher with all the money spent on fees and diagnostics.

    Reading through the comments, it’s obvious this is part of their strategy: have contractors downplay issues to avoid liability, leaving you out of pocket. I’ll be reaching out to others in the comments to initiate a class action. This is incredibly shady. Looks like this has happen so many times here is my email **, contact me so we can get this class action going. Hardworking ** shouldn't have to be scammed like this.

    This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Customer service has no clue what they are doing and it takes a minimum of two weeks before anything gets accomplished. That is with calling and bugging them about it every day. Think about that if you have a leak or your ac dies in the middle of summer in the south.

    First American Home Warranty, like their many competitors, is a scam company. These home warranties are legally mandated to be purchased by all the home sellers for the new home buyers. This is another indication that our legislators work for these companies. I sold a home in Houston and was forced to buy one for the new owner. Then, I bought a home in California and the seller had to buy one for me. I knew the reputation of these companies but we had no choice. Couple of months after I moved in to my CA home, I realized that my upper oven was not cooking/baking evenly. Proof was in the pastries or pies that I baked in the upper oven came out with the back side baked while the front did not. This would not happen for the lower oven. I contacted First American Home warranty (AHW). They always have fixed claim fee, for AHW, this was $85.

    They sent two repair companies, when the first one denied my claim, the second one came and set the temperature to 350 deg F, and when the set temperature was reached, he said it is working. The issue of uneven heating was never addressed. A month or so later my LG refrigerator stopped making ice. I filed another claim for another $85. I had a spare ice maker from a previous claim and when the first repair person came, I asked him to install that one. He did and tested the ice maker and said it was working. The next day, there was no ice in the bin. When I manually emptied the ice maker, I saw that it was making ice but not dispensing in to the bin. So, it was not an issue of freezing. I called them again, another repair person from another compony showed up with another ice maker. He replaced the first one and the same thing happened again.

    When I reported the issue, they agreed to send another repair person affiliated with a third repair company. When he arrived, he asked how he can help. I asked him if he knew why he was here. He said he did not. All he had in his hand was some paper work. I explained the problem and he said that there is a crack in the wall of the refrigerator and the cold air is escaping from the crack into the refrigerator as there is some condensation on the wall. That crack has been there for the last three years yet ice maker worked fine. I asked him if he can seal it and he said he cannot do it now as he needs to contact LG. He said that LG had a class action suit on multiple issues dor the refrigerators and this was one of them. This was true, as I benefitted with one of these class action law suits for their linear compressors. By this time two months had passed since the initial claim and I realized they had no intention of fixing anything.

    Today they denied my claim and said that the insulation is not covered in the contract. They are busy extorting $85 for each claim and nothing is ever fixed afterwards. This week I bought a new refrigerator. I still have 5 months left on my contract but I decided to forfeit it. My son had a similar experience with American Home Shield. Stay away from these thugs, as their business model is built on deception and extortion. They are simply criminals.

    Came within 24 hrs and luckily it was fixed within a hour. They showed up in time and Dan explained step by step what he was doing and why.

    I had high hopes for First American Home Warranty, but my experience was disappointing. While their plans offer coverage for various home systems and appliances, I found the service to be lacking in several key areas. The coverage itself is quite limited and often fails to address the complexities of home repairs. When I filed a claim, I was frustrated to see that the service providers they dispatched were not always well-equipped or experienced, which led to multiple service visits and delays in resolving issues.

    Additionally, the claims process was not as smooth as I expected; it often required repeated follow-ups and took longer than anticipated to get a resolution. Overall, while First American Home Warranty offers a range of coverage options, the quality of service and effectiveness of their repair solutions fell short of my expectations.

    First American came with a previous home I purchased in North Carolina. The seller provided the warranty, and then I kept it because they were good. I sold the house April of this year and I bought another house and I still have First American. I like that it's not fake. They fix what they say they're gonna fix. I bought a condo in Virginia Beach that was built in 2003, and within 30 to 45 days, I had to replace my outside unit. There was something in the attic as well that they had to change. They switched my AC unit from a one-ton to a two-ton. The total cost was 1850, but my portion was 950. Now, I've been in property management for 23 years and I know how much these things cost and I know how much that labor costs. This whole job would have cost about four grand. I only had to pay 950 out of my pocket. I didn't even blink at it.

    When I first got my townhouse in North Carolina, something happened to my microwave door. It wouldn't close. It wouldn't catch. They came out and fixed it. It cost me a $75 service charge. That was it. I had a compressor go out in the house in North Carolina. That was right after they had all let us out from the pandemic. So, that was when they had a problem with all the supply chains. It took about three weeks to get the compressor, but as soon as they got it, it was in. So, that wasn't their fault, and I was well-tuned into the supply chains because of the business I'm in.

Usually, I just cancel it, wait an hour, go back and try it again, and it would work.

    The contractors have been great. At one point, I had two different issues and it turned out that they were both electrical contractors and they were at my house at the same time. So, they almost tried to compete with each other, which was awkward. They tried to tell each other what the other one should do even though they worked on separate parts of the house. I realized that was a mistake and I would never allow that to happen. The most recent repair I had was I've been having some problems with my dryer. The repair gentleman came out and it turned out it was clogged with lint. He was able to clear it out easily. I had a bunch of other questions and he was very nice and professional, answered my questions, offered advice for maintenance, and super helpful.

    There have been times when we've had somebody come out to do a repair or have an item replaced. I would love to be able at that time to upgrade an appliance. For example, the dryer or a washing machine. I would love to have the option of taking whatever money the company would be put towards the repair or a replacement and apply that towards upgrading to something better and me paying the difference. If First American had an option like that, I would be interested.

It’s also very little time-consuming. It was just a matter of calling, getting a claim number, and having someone call us, come out and fix it. So, it was a pleasant experience.

    Updated on 07/15/2024: My update is that I canceled my contract. You should not have to fight so hard to not get scammed. I hope people read this post and don't waste your time and money with First American Home Warranty. Scam Alert!

    Original Review: Scam. They are a big scam. They work with the company they send to your house when you need a repair done. Letting them upsell you things you don't need or they won't fix your covered part. They are a joke. Trying to make money off their customer with their partners is insane. When you stand up to them they will tell you they will cash you out. $10! They want me to pay them $750 to fix my broken spring on my garage door (which is covered under my first class upgrades they sold me, we know because we had the left side replaced 2 years ago and didn't pay anything.) but they only gonna pay me $10 for parts and labor to do it myself if I don't want to pay $750. That's how FIRST AMERICAN HOME WARRANTY company treats its customers and a 100 percent disable veteran. Sad we thought this was something we could count on. Trust. ITS NOT!!!!

I put in request, warranty company sent SunBright Pool in Cave Creek, AZ. Tech confirmed it needed to be replaced & suggested (merely his preference) when replacement was installed, to turn up to 100% and because my chlorine reading was at zero, to add shock. First Home Warranty said because it wasn’t set to 100% (again, this is preference) & because I put dangerous chemical in pool (shock after it was already not functioning) that I was responsible.

Our out of pocket for the replacement is $2,895 + $85.00 for the service call!!!! WOW!!!! REALLY, WHAT IS THE POINT OF EVEN HAVING THIS INSURANCE???? Dose not seem that they are paying for anything.

    If we choose not to go this route then they offer us a CASH OFFER which was a JOKE!!!! $532.00 NON NEGOTIABLE!!!

Reliance, the contractor that's working on the house now, is the company that came out to my primary home and switched out an air conditioner. I like the owner and I think they're reliable but they haven't communicated very well this time. They ordered a part three weeks ago and I checked in last Wednesday and the part still isn't in.

    My experience wasn't pleasant because I requested a vendor for Florida and for one of the properties I have in Florida, and it was a fiasco. No one would come out. I ended up having to call someone on my own to come out for the air conditioner, but First American reimbursed me. For the plumbing, there was water leaking. And afterward, they said because it went over the amount that they thought was rightful, they only paid me that amount, and not what the actual amount was for the damage. Even though I submitted a claim, I called and asked. That was the downfall. I'm not very happy with that one. They said I had to have a pre-approval for the additional amount, which was $175, which nobody comes out for plumbing, for the amount of money that they thought it would be covered.

    I had to call independent contractors to come out because the contractors that they were contracted with would not come out to the area, and they didn't have any appointments. The ones that they said would come out, I had people waiting for them to come in to do the services and they never showed up. They kept canceling on me.

    I'm not happy with what happened. Even though I continuously called and tried to get updates, nobody would call me back. I finally had to call someone and say, "I wanna speak to a supervisor to get this resolved." I sent my invoice and everything, and somebody called me back and said, "Well, we can't pay you that." Even though it was okay for someone to come out, they had to have authorization for the additional amount of money over what they said they would allow, which makes no sense. Overall, First American's vendors are horrible.

    The turn-around time for placing a service request and having the service completed is getting longer and longer. It appears that the purchasing department gets bogged down with so many purchases that they can't respond in a timely manner. This typically makes maintaining your home more difficult as waiting for essential appliances and operational system repairs isn't an option in really hot weather. In these cases, HVAC systems and pool systems should have more options, up-front, as to remedy problems quickly.

    Just as we must pay up-front to submit a service request, the completion of service should be just as prompt, or at the very least, offer options that get approval of coverage or denial within 24 hours and then offer reimbursement options, check disbursement option or contractor expedited authorization. These options could help consumers solve problems in their homes more effectively and keep First American from getting backlogged with approvals and purchases.

    Two months ago, my refrigerator went out so I filed a claim and it was easy to do. First American tried to fix it four or five times and I was without the fridge for over a month. Every time they didn't fix it, I had to wait another week or two to get another appointment. That was a little frustrating. Ultimately, they determined they couldn't fix it and they were gonna replace it. They offered me a fridge that wasn't comparable, so I turned it down.

    They offered me a dollar replacement of $1,400 and I said I'll accept the money and I'll go out and get my own fridge. When I told them that, they came back with another offer of $1,100, saying they found a cheaper fridge they could replace it with. We got into a big argument and they refused to back down and give me the 1,400 they had originally offered me. I called management supervisors and I kept going up the ladder. I finally got to one that said yes, they should honor the original agreement. They looked into it and they said that the 1,400 wasn't enough. They gave me 1,900, which I accepted. But it took weeks and weeks of going through managers and being turned down, in some cases, quite rudely by senior managers. Ultimately, I'm happy with the service and the replacement.

    The first fit of work done on the AC condenser wasn't enough (replace capacitor, add refrigerant). Apparently there was an intermittent problem with the fan motor and a 2nd call for repair was necessary. Because it finally failed within days of the first repair I did not have to go online and fill out the form again. The AI system on my call asked me if there was still a problem with a recent work request and upon saying "yes" it put out a return service request. The tech was out in less than 36 hours and everything has been working fine since.

    First American will not honor their own warranty contract to repair/replace my house AC that broke a month ago on 5/11. They sent an incompetent contractor to my house who did not correctly diagnose the issue. Then this contractor called and tried to sell me a replacement AC, telling me the warranty company would only pay a small percentage portion of the replacement costs and not anything more. Since then I have paid out of pocket for 3 additional HVAC companies to diagnose the issue. I have provided First American with this information in an attempt to get them to understand their contractor did an incomplete job and was dishonest with me.

    I have been told many times by First American that they are escalating my case and that I would hear back from them within 24-48 hours. Then there is never any response back from them. I have to call them back every other day and ask what the status is. Monday 6/3 they sent the same HVAC contractor back to my house to fully identify the problem. The contractor told me my air conditioner was beyond repair as the evaporator and compressor were both broken and he was submitting this information back to First American.

    Since then neither the contractor or First American have made any attempt to contact me to make arrangements to fix the AC. I have had to call them 3 times in the last week and every time I am told the case is being escalated and someone will call me back 24-48 hours later and this never happens. Meanwhile - we are experiencing a heat wave and the temperature in my house is 87-88 degrees INSIDE and I have had to purchase portable air conditioners just to try to get my children's rooms to a tolerable temperature just so they could sleep. This company is disgusting in their negligence and severe lack of follow up. I have faithfully made monthly payments for 3 years now and have never been late. I can not believe they are allowed to operate this way - TOTAL SCAM.

    Don't waste your money! I called because my AC wasn't working and they sent out HousePro to fix the problem. The Tech misdiagnosed the problem and said I needed a new control panel and blower motor that was not covered by the policy at an additional $1,300.00. I hired a different company who properly diagnosed the problem in 15 minutes and replaced a simple relay. I sent the bill to FAHW who refused to pay for the repair stating

    "The contractor reported that failure to your Furnace: Natural Gas was due to secondary damage. Please be advised that your Contract contains the following provision(s): Under the section marked Limits of Liability # 3, Company's liability is limited to failure of systems due to normal wear and tear." I asked what the "secondary damage" was, and the incompetent tech stated a power surge. This house is equipped with a whole house surge protection and would not affect a relay. I'm a real estate agent who has purchased many home warranties for my clients through the years and will never purchase or recommend FAHW again.

    Hello Brian, we reviewed your claim for your air conditioner.

    On May 07, 2024, you placed a claim for your air conditioner not turning on. First American dispatched an independent contractor House Pro Incorporated who reported who reported the zone control shorted causing the transformer, control board and blower motor to fail. First American denied the claim. Please see Limits of Liability number six:

    “Solar systems and components including holding tanks are not covered. System management or zone control systems (whether manual, electronic, computerized or pneumatic) are not covered.”

    On May 10, 2024, First American spoke with you about a reimbursement for the outside repair of the air conditioner repair. First American requested a diagnosis from your outside contractor for review.

    On May 16, 2024, First American spoke with you, and you advised the repair was completed outside the warranty. First American advised the repair would not be covered without prior approval and explained the claim was denied.

    On June 20, 2024, First American reviewed your air conditioner claim. First American spoke with you to advise your air conditioner claim was overturned, and that we would honor the air conditioner invoice from the outside contractor in the amount of $513.00. Please allow 7-10 business days for the processing and mailing of the check.

    I was with First American Home Warranty for over a year and never filed a claim. I recently had a leak under the kitchen sink, called to file a claim, was told it would be up to 48 hours before a company would contact me to make an appointment. I was given the company name and was asked for the $85 service fee which I paid over the phone. The company my claim was assigned to was in another city, which lead me to believe there'd be further delays. I called the company to cancel the claim and cancel my contract. Two days to wait just to make an appointment does not meet my immediate needs.

    I was refunded the service fee, however, only a fraction of the monthly fee, which was withdrawn a couple of days from the cancellation date. I found a local plumber who came out the same day, charged $50, which was less than the service fee! A few years ago, I was with another home warranty company, first time I called, I was told the repair company would be out on a certain day and time. The repair company never called or showed. Needless to say, I cancelled with them as well. Home warranty companies just have to do better.

Then they gave me the name of the contractor and I could and specify. Also, there were a couple of times where I had to take a copy of the serial number of a product that they were replacing because mine was above market value. And after they saw that, they went ahead and adjusted the amount of money that they were sending to me. So that was good.

    If I had the option to give First American Home Warranty a zero star review, I would. I have been a client of First American for a combined amount of 8 years. This year my A/C went out. It was April 23rd when it was first reported. I have had 4 different contractors come out, and no resolution. Some didn't show, some only checked the outside unit (which it wasn't), and all complained about not getting paid fairly by First American, and being expected to absorb some costs of items at their expense. Two contractors stated that my attic is too small for them to work in, and stated I would need to spend $2800 or $5000 (2 different quotes to build a platform in my attic). I was advised that I needed to build this platform before they would work on my A/C. I live in AZ, and our temps are above 100 right now. My house has been 89 degrees inside. I have animals, and they are struggling.

    I have purchased fans, air conditioning units (portable), and a swamp cooler to help keep the temperatures down. It helps minimally. I contacted an outside air conditioning company that has high ratings to come and assess my attic. They stated that my attic is a standard attic, and does not to be rebuilt, and that their company would be glad to fix my A/C. I have also had other companies in my attic over the years fixing appliances, and this is the first time anyone has complained. I advised First American that an outside company advised me that my attic does not need to be rebuilt, so I should not be expected to pay $2800 for their contractor to even fix my A/C. I was advised that I have 2 choices. Pay the $2800 to them to rebuild my attic, or accept a buyout of $700, and go with my own company. That amount doesn't cover the part or the labor.

    This company is not transparent with pay out prices, or amounts they will approve for repairs. They are highly rated, which is why I was their client. I have the premium Air Conditioning package, which is supposed to cover almost everything A/C related. I am so disappointed with this company. It is 6 weeks later, still no A/C, and I am now pursuing legal action against them, believing their insistence that I build a new attic to suit them is consumer fraud. I would recommend saving money for appliance repairs, as opposed to having to fight this hard with a warranty company to get a big expenditure that you expect your warranty company to cover fixed.

    Hi Michelle, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience and delays you have experienced during the handling of your claim.

    According to our records, you placed a claim on April 23, 2024, for your air conditioner not turning on. SHIP was dispatched to diagnose the failure; however, on May 1, 2024, HVAC King was assigned as they had sooner availability to service. On May 3, 2024, HVAC King reported repairs were completed when they added five pounds of refrigerant to your system. On May 11, 2024, SHIP informed us they had provided service as your appointment with them had not been cancelled, and they completed repairs when the dual run capacitor was replaced, leak seal was added, and the system was recharged with 4.5 pounds of refrigerant. On May 14, 2024, SHIP was recalled as you indicated the failure had reoccurred. On May 16, 2024, SHIP reported your evaporator coil may be leaking but they could not confirm due to the limited space available to access the unit in your attic. Therefore, L and M Home Comfort Systems (L and M) was dispatched. At that time, while awaiting service by L and M, you were offered up to $150.00 for the purchase of fans or a portable air conditioner. On May 19, 2024, L and M confirmed there is a non-repairable leak in your evaporator coil. Additionally, they indicated due to the limited space available in your attic to complete the replacement of the evaporator coil, you would need to create access, at the cost of $5,000.00, which is not covered by your home warranty contract. You may refer to Limits of Liability Number Eight. On May 22, 2024, as you disputed the access issues reported by both SHIP and L and M, Valley HVAC and Refrigeration (Valley HVAC) was assigned, and we increased the amount being offered for fans or portable air conditioner to $200.00. On May 27, 2024, Valley HVAC reported your air conditioner was completely dry of refrigerant due to a non-repairable leak in your evaporator coil. Valley HVAC also reported that due to the limited space available in your attic, they would need to install a platform for safety while accessing your evaporator coil. Therefore, we approved replacement of your evaporator coil including $2,855.00 in non-covered costs for the access (building the platform), code requirements, modifications, and haul away of the old evaporator coil which are expressly identified in your home warranty contract as not covered under Limits of Liability Number Eight. On May 28, 2024, reimbursement for the purchase of a portable air conditioner was submitted for processing in the amount of $200.00, and on May 31, 2024, the check was mailed to you.

    At this time, due to three independent service providers advising the space available in your attic is creating an access issue to the evaporator coil, the options available are to accept the non-covered costs for Valley HVAC to complete the job or to proceed with a cash payment in lieu of replacement, which may be less than retail. You may refer to Limits of Liability Number Sixteen in your home warranty contract.

    I compared the cost and coverages on a couple of other ones and thought First American Home Warranty would look like a good deal. I told them about the repair online, and they sent somebody out. They did a great job. And the tech was very professional. We were without our fridge for a week, but that was because they had to order parts. They came in like they said, did it when they said, and it's working fine. I'm very happy.

    It's so convenient to be able to call First American and say what we need done, then they have somebody call me and they come fix it. I have submitted claims with them by calling and using the computer. Both are super easy to do, but using the computer is so simple because I just tell them what the problem is then I have somebody give me a call to schedule the appointment to come take a look at it. I pay the $85 and whether the job requires more than that, it doesn't ever affect me because it's taken care of.

    The techs that they send out are always fantastic. Usually, we get the same technician because it seems to be the same appliance every time. But they're always very professional, kind, and trustworthy. Their work is excellent, too. I never had to call back and have them come look at the same problem again. First American is connected with really great companies who hire really competent people and that makes it really easy for me when I'm trying to have something fixed.

A great experience is not even realizing someone's in my house and everything gets done. First American replaced it for free and I just had to pay a couple of grand for putting the other stuff up to code that's connected to it. My last two technicians were fantastic.

    When my ice maker went out, I did the process to file a claim and went through the charge. The repairman called within 24 hours and set up an appointment. He had to replace it and was already given a budget allowance by First American, so he didn't have to call and get permission which was nice. I've had another warranty company that was slower in that process. The repairman was able to order the replacement and they had it back within a week. He had to make sure that he couldn't get it to work before he replaced it so he wasn't wasting their money, which is professional. I've only had First American for a few months, but the process was significantly smoother and quicker than with my previous home warranty.

They contract with cheap companies to save money and these people have no idea what they are doing. They also sent out multiple technicians who would not even touch it because they are not LG certified so we are left waiting and our time has been wasted. The first contractor they sent messed up our refrigerator so bad that it is not fixable but they still keep sending people out who just change parts over and over again but it is still not fixed. Our refrigerator should have been replaced by now but they just keep sending out more technicians to try and fix it and we are stuck in the middle with no fridge. We have called many times and spoken to many people with no real help from anyone. This has been the worst experience of ever having dealt with any company in my entire life.

    I have been with this company for many, many years. Initially, they did a very good job...BUT in the last few years, they have really declined in the service and communication aspects of their program. I have contacted them for service, paid the fee, been contacted by the contractor, set up an appointment, and waited all day (TWICE) to have the service call canceled with NO warning or notice of cancellation. I called and asked to speak to a supervisor, told them of the issue with no communication on cancellation, asked for a callback, and never received one.

    I called again today because I had an icemaker replaced 3 months ago and it went out again. "Sorry," they said, I would have to open another service call and pay another fee to have someone come out to fix it. During this call, I inquired about my previous call-back request for no notice of previous cancellations. They said their records indicated a call was made early in the morning but the last time I called they said they notified me by email. Inconsistent and wrong. I had an issue with my heat and air system last October. The call was made on October 7th. On October 19th (almost two weeks) I was informed it was covered and the parts ordered. I'm losing confidence in their service and quality but the communication is non-existent. Choose carefully as this company might not be a good fit for your needs.

    They're very responsive in their customer service. Their claims process is easy too. I submit it online and they follow up. For my recent claim, my HVAC system had gone out and I didn't have heat and it was really cold for almost a month. I had to go out and purchase portable heaters and they reimbursed me. I just hope that they have more contractors who are familiar with the area. For example, where I live, it's considered the high desert. When my HVAC went down, it had to be programmed a certain way. The tech they sent out that programmed it was in the coastal area. I'm closer to the mountains. So, those are two different regions. And because they programmed it differently, it caused my HVAC to go out quicker. But, the next tech that was sent out, happened to be a tech who was from my region. So, he was familiar with the program and he realized, "Oh, they programmed this according to the region they came out of."

    Our experience with First American has been awesome. The customer service rep asks all the right questions, gets the information in and follows up to see if we've heard from someone. All the contractors have performed outstanding service as well. They explained any and everything in detail as to what their findings were, and when they got here, they did the repairs in a timely manner. The most recent one had to do with a pipe in the wall in the laundry room that went to the water heater. There was water spraying out of it, and when the technician came and assessed it, he knew exactly what was wrong. Ironically, about six weeks before, we had the same issue but it was a different pipe.

    The technician showed my husband what part he needed to replace, then he went to his truck, got what he needed, came back and replaced it. Now, everything's operating fine. There are no more leaks. I like the overall experience with the timeliness and the execution of assessing the problem and immediately taking care of it.

They assign it to a contractor, then the contractor contacts me usually the next day, sometimes it's two days, and makes an appointment and comes out to the house. They fix whatever needs fixing, and it's a done deal. Most of the contractors are good, very polite and accommodating. Some of them come from far away, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I live in Cloverdale, which is outside of the main area.

    First American has contractors in Cloverdale, Healdsburg and Santa Rosa. With some of the ones that I got, one had to drive three hours to come to the house, and another one, I wasn't happy with. The guy did the job, but I wouldn't have chosen him. Had I gotten him out of the phone book and he came to the house, I wouldn't have let him in. Besides that, the concept of having a warranty on a house or all the appliances and paying an $85 fee and having whatever fixed is well worth it. I would recommend anybody have it.

    Good day, My claim was denied so I called FAHW to request reason, photos and proof as to why my claim was denied. The rep. told me she would contact the plumber and get back to me. That never happened. I only have limited number of days to contest the denial. Please have someone contact me as soon as possible to investigate to resolve. Thank you. Lisa~ I am requesting proof that the plumbing issue was caused by roots of a tree. There are no trees near the home and the shower has worked for years with no issues.

    We were expecting to be reimbursed for the approx $700 of food that spoiled for all the time waiting for repair. Our last provider AHS cover food loss, not sure why yours has not offered this at such a premium price for insurance. Meat as you know is not cheap and we lost it all and fish like salmon and others. Not including what was in the refrigerator side.

    I'm happy to report First American Home Warranty came through again...this time with a water heater that wasn't making hot water. I went online late in the evening and created a work order, paid my service fee, was assigned a plumbing contractor, and waited less than 12 hours later to contacted by NW Sundance Services Incorporated. They tried to come out that day but were unable to free up a technician. They were, however, able to get a technician to my house the following day. The technician was able to quickly diagnose a problem with the thermocouple. He replaced it and we were in business. The pilot light would now stay lit allowing the water heater to function and make hot water. The technician was proficient, personable, and professional. Another positive experience with First American Home Warranty.

    Our home warranty coverage has been amazing! From A/C to a stopped up toilet they have covered it all! Highly recommend this warranty company over any other. We have had other companies in the past and they cover very little for your money. First American is top tier & we recommend them to all our friends and family.

    Great company - have been with them for 5 years and my only complaint is not being able to physically speak to someone. Everything has to be done through the website. If they could somehow add a chat feature to the website it might be helpful. So far the contractors they send out have been okay. Just usually not from my area.

    I called First American Home Warranty to make a claim. The plumbing company sent two guys to check the problem. They took the toilet out of the place. They found that one part under the toilet was broken since the water was dripping around the toilet. I asked them what was the problem and one of them explained to me. He showed me the new part it was installed. Then, they changed the broken part and cleaned everything well. They did a great job! Thank you.

    This company is a scam. You're not only wasting your money buying their policy, but you are also paying for their sub-contractors to do their dirty work. When they send somebody, they are not there to help you, they are there specifically to find a way to deny your claim, so it is at no cost for First American Home Warranty and their vendor gets free money just for showing up. I submitted a claim for a garage door that does not open when it gets barely cold, I live in the Bay Area so it is not that it snows in my city, the motor would not even react when you press the button, this is clearly an electronic or electrical issue with the motor. Well, their vendor came, took a picture of the old rollers, said something about sending somebody later to fix the problem and left.

    Next day I got the 'resolution' saying that the garage door doesn't work because the rollers are old and that one popped out, but clearly works during the day as soon as it get warmer, so their vendor is either unqualified or it was never their intention to fix anything, you just paid them to find a justification to deny your claim. When I challenged their assessment, they said they will not look at the motor until I replace the rollers and balance the door, and that if I want a second opinion I can pay for it and I won't be reimbursed even if an independent contractor disagrees with their assessment. Save your money, don't feed these scammers, the cost of their policy and individual payments of their visits will easily cover 3 common repairs in your house, repairs they would never do for you, that's why they are profitable.

    Hi Luis, according to our records, your home warranty contract became effective on January 17, 2024. On February 19, 2024, you placed a claim for three garage door openers indicating two would not open at all and the third was working intermittently. An independent service provider, Aces Garage Door Repair & Installation (Aces Garage) was dispatched and reported the door on the right was getting stuck due to bad rollers and cracked gear casings, and the door itself was warped and had dry rot. Aces Garage advised the garage door, and its opener system would not have passed a visual inspection, and the failure was pre-existing to the start of your coverage with us. For the middle door, Aces Garage advised the garage door opener itself was functional; however, the door was warped and out of balance, and the rollers were popping out. Regarding the left garage door opener, Aces Garage reported the garage door opener itself was functional but one of the cables was missing and another had snapped off. Under the provisions of your home warranty contract, under Important and the Garage Door Openers sections, respectively, items must be in safe working order at the start of coverage, and rollers, adjustments, and the garage door itself, which includes the cables, are specifically identified as not covered. Therefore, we denied coverage for the repair of all three garage door openers.

    My brother decided to use this company after problems with the last company. This company is just as bad. Our refrigerator has been having problems for over 2 weeks now. The repairman that they sent out does not know what he is doing. He has been out here twice and says that he has fixed the problem. Why is he scheduled to come out a third time. We have had to throw out almost $200 in food. As expensive as food is now. We are so upset and we can't wait until our contract is over.

    Austin HVAC came out and checked things, changed the furnace filter, and increased the fan power. Unfortunately, he was not able to access the ducts in the house, although he gave it a good try. I appreciated all he did to improve things, but I think the ducts might need to be inspected.

    Sometimes First American picks random people to come to your home. I've had a couple of times where I didn't feel that they were very experienced in a particular issue. Also, parts have been a problem due to the past four years with COVID. Before COVID time, if I had any problems, I would call First American and then they would correct it if I wasn't happy with the company. I live in a very small area, so they usually have to contract someone to come down and sometimes that gets a little bit difficult. B

    The happiest I ever was with the contractors was about two years ago during COVID. The hot water heater went out and I was very worried who they were gonna get since so many people were closed down. They hired a company that was two hours away. The tech that came out had everything. He was on top of it. It cost a lot out of my pocket that time. But that was because of the new rules in California with the hot water heater. It wasn't their fault. But they were very good at getting everything in and done that day. They brought everything they needed by me just taking pictures, and we did a FaceTime. That really impressed me. I love that because they knew exactly what they were coming to and that was because of COVID. But they should keep doing that. Overall. I would recommend First American but they're not perfect yet.

    First American has been good. Sometimes, it takes a bit for the service people, and the company can't help that the different times of the year and different things are going on. They try to help us as much as they can. Our last claim was for a furnace. They had to replace it, and we had to pay 1,400. We had a problem one time where they kept saying we didn't pay and I know we did. It took a while, but finally, we got it resolved. I don't have any complaints except for the price. I don't like that the prices keep going up and our copay, but I know everything else is going up as well.
