    I have been without a/c for over a month now while living in Texas! This warranty company only gives you promises of making things right and never actually does anything. The contracted repair company EMS is dragging their feet getting my repairs done and nothing is being done to expedite this process by First American despite multiple calls informing them of the extreme delays in repairs. I even paid the repair company the “non covered” costs 3 weeks ago. I’m not even on the schedule yet to get the repairs done. Never get a warranty through this company!

    ES Heat and Air very good service. On time and very pleasant. Good clean up. Would use them if needed. I have three units so they will definitely be the course for any further issues on the other units and will have no problem recommending them to friends and neighbors.

    Okay with the repair. Seems there was confusion about coverage. Two of your reps insisted the microwave wasn't covered. Finally got a higher department that figured out I had the upgrade on my policy even though I pointed that out to the other 2 reps. It is fixed for now. Thanks.

    I am glad that I have my home covered by First American Home Warranty. They have repaired my dryer and my fridge and my water heater and they have replaced my washer and more. I only ever pay my service call fee and my monthly fee for the coverage of course. I have the peace of mind to know that I won't have a huge repair bill to fix something.

    First American has been wonderful. I just paid $85 for a person to come out and check my AC, and the tech as fine. One time they sent out somebody who barely spoke English to work on my microwave. So, I called them up and told them to please make sure that someone speaks English. 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. Other than that, the girlfriend that I referred to them called me when she signed up because she knew that I would receive a free Amazon $25 card. But neither of us got it or at least we didn't think we did.

    First American always have somebody come out as soon as possible, at least within a few days, and I've never had any issues with them. They've always been considerate and very understanding of the issue that I've had. They had the lowest price when I was looking for insurance. It's a very good company. I had to have them send out a guy to come out and fix my refrigerator. The first company they sent was out here four times and I filed a claim against them. First American then sent another gentleman out and he found the problem right away.

    There was a leak in our ceiling which I reported to FA. Their contractor cut a hole in our ceiling without reinforcing it, which FA was supposed to repair. We made several attempts for the repairs. We were told that someone would be sent to fix the damage. They never send anyone. We got the repairs fixed and sent proof of payments. We have been calling for months now to get reimbursement for the damages. The person assigned to the case has refused to respond to both calls and emails. We have gotten no assistance and FA is refusing to provide any further assistance or information. We have been dealing with this issue since 10/2023. Look somewhere else.

    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.

    First American replied very quickly. But the problem was they sent a technician out, then they had to send a senior technician out. If they gotta send the head man one out, why not send him in the beginning? It was the air conditioning and here in Florida, it's extremely warm. Then a part had to be ordered. Before they would order the part, they had to contact me and let me know it was not covered under the warranty and they would need almost $500 to do that. Also, one time they came out to check my unit and things didn't go so well.

    Our Fridge stopped working On April 20th/21st. Placed a service request same day. A guy from sears was sent on April 25th. He came, checked and ordered parts (compressor and motherboards) and after the parts came, sears guy came back on May 9th and tried to fix the issue. It didn't work and First American decided to get a 2nd opinion. Another company guy comes after a week (he was supposed to come earlier and he won't answer any calls and missed several appointments and finally showed up after calling several times) and says a filter needs to be changed and then after that no show.

    First American keeps calling and tells us the same story that they are trying to get in touch with the 2nd company whose name I have never heard. First american home warranty customer service rep calls every Monday and Friday and plays the same song and dance (we are trying and can't get in touch with serviceman and it has ben escalated) and nothing happens. It's May 28th and we don't have a working fridge! Asked for a supervisor and can't seem to get one. No definite answer about how long this will take. Neither do we know what our next steps are or where to go from here. We pay for the premier coverage as our appliances are Jenn air and after 6 wks we still have no answers. We even asked for a cash out offer so we can buy another one and they say it will take few weeks for that offer. It's frustrating not knowing when or how long this will take.

    First American’s records indicate you placed a claim on April 30, 2024, for the air conditioning system not cooling. First American dispatched independent contractor, Fast Response Heating and Cooling (Fast Response), who reported to find the system to be low on Freon; the technician added 1.5lb of R-22 Freon to the system at the time of service.
    On May 12, 2024, you requested further assistance as you were continuing to experience a failure with the air conditioning system. First American dispatched Fast Response to return for further diagnosis. On May 14, 2024, First American processed reimbursement to you in the amount of $150.00 towards your purchase of a temporary relief item such as a portable air conditioner. We ask that you please allow 7 to 10 business days for processing and delivery of this payment.
    On May 16, 2024, Fast Response reported to find the condenser to be leaking and recommended leak stop be added to repair the failure. On this same day, you reported to First American that you would be proceeding with the replacement of the entire system by an outside contractor. Please be advised, First American does not reimburse for services performed without prior approval, as per your home warranty, Important Section.

    On May 21, 2024, you confirmed to First American that you had your air conditioning system successfully replaced by your outside contractor and requested that we contact them directly to further discuss the cause of failure requiring its replacement. On this same day, First American attempted to reach your outside contractor to discuss the replacement of the system but was unsuccessful. Once this information has been received from your outside contractor, it will be reviewed for coverage. As such, we consider this claim pending.

    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.

    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.

    The rep was very informative and helpful. When I called in a claim, I got a response from the person on that day as opposed to the company I had before. The great thing with First American was it was the same company both times and they were eight months apart. It's nice having the same people come and they were very prompt. They were very good on the plumbing claim. I could see the guys working hard. I don't know how many feet he went down, but he ended up pulling out a plastic bag from God knows where. He didn't give up until he was sure the water was flowing correctly.

    I've been with FAHW for three years now and it's been good. My experience submitting a claim has been outstanding. They get a technician out here and they have done a good job. They figure out what the issue is or if it needs to be replaced, and have stepped up and taken care of it. I had an oven that had to be replaced. They immediately got somebody out here to tell me what was going on. It needed to be totally replaced. So they ordered it and got it in. For my washer claim, it needed a repair.

    Terrible company. We have trying to get our refrigerator fixed since 12/25/23. As of today 5/10/24 it is still not fixed. 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. Wish I could give them zero stars.

    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. I would tell a friend or a family member, "If you want outstanding service in a timely manner, you need to call First American Home Warranty."

When the repairman came out about the dishwasher, he said it was not draining because my garbage disposal was leaking.

    I called First American and told them my heater wasn't working. They told me they were gonna send someone out. The contractor contacted me and said, "Hey, I'm with First American. I wanna add you to our schedule." They came out, looked at my heater, found the issue, then they told me they were gonna send the service report to First American so they can order a part. First American approved it, and the contractor ordered the part, then they came back out and changed the part. The repair people from the company that came out were really knowledgeable, clean and helpful, and my heater is still working good. Overall, it was a good experience.

    I've had a home warranty for a long time, just different companies. Every time I submit a claim with the home warranty people, I usually have to argue with them a bit on my claim for them to approve it. With First American, it was no questions. It was really smooth and that was best part because it was still winter time out here. So the heater was more important than arguing with me, and they cared more about getting it replaced and my heater back up and running.

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.

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.

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.

    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 Home Warranty came with the house when we bought it. I kept it for that year and then I started thinking about getting home warranty again. Since I already had an existing account and it was a good experience, we went with them. Our washing machine quit very recently. It quit draining and we had to call First American to come and check it out. They connected us with the appliance repair company and they came out. The washer was so old, they could not find parts, though, so First American replaced it. They sent two washers out. I don't know how that happened. A guy called saying they were on their way to deliver the washer and it had already been delivered.

    I was really impressed with the customer service. They were very timely in making things happen and stayed in communication with me. It was a very easy and fast process. Also, I don't have to go through many layers of automated services to actually get to a person and talk to them and that's what I appreciate, just to be able to make that phone call or do the claim online. But when I did need to call them, I was able to reach a person, which is rare.

    FAHW is a scam. I purchased a warranty with my condo in October. At the start of Feb, I contacted FAHW because the AC was out. They knew the unit was on the roof of a 3-story building but didn't tell the contractor they sent. The contractor wasn't able to look at the unit and I didn't know until a week later when I followed up. They then sent them out again, and this time, the contractor serviced the unit. After, the unit failed again. They sent a different contractor, who looked at the unit and said they couldn't service that type of unit (FAHW didn't tell them what kind of unit it was).

    They then sent out a third contractor who said that my entire unit was shot and must be fully replaced. I then received a quote from both the third provider as as well as provider of my choosing for a second opinion, and they both came back with quotes ranging around the $11k mark. FAHW said my options were to cash out and repair it myself, or they would repair it. I said cash out, considering it was well into two months and FAHW had not been able to follow through quickly and competently. They then offered me $640 to reimburse me for an $11k job. When I asked them how they arrived at that number, they told me that that was what they pay.

    I told them if they can find a decent contractor to do an $11k job for less than a grand, then by all means. They told me that they would put the bid out and that we would need to wait for someone to accept it. Note, there is no time limit on this - I could wait forever for someone to work that for that little. A week later I called back to get a status update and my ticket had been closed. No one had ever bothered to start looking for a contractor for this job. I asked to reopen it and simply do a cash-out since it was really apparent they had no intention of performing the services that I paid a warranty to them for. It's now been several days and still not response of update. We are moving into three months. FAHW is a scam, they will not pay for repairs or replacements, they will only offer a disparagingly low rate to contractors and tell their customers that they have to wait until someone accepts and degradingly low bid.

    Hello Amelia. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of your claim. According to our records you placed a claim on February 7, 2024, for your air conditioning unit not working properly and TS Quick Temp Cooling diagnosed the failure reporting an unrepairable leak in the air handling unit as well as a condenser failure, recommending that both units be replaced. The contractor also noted that the existing pancake style air handling unit is obsolete with access related issues therefore modifications would be required to accommodate moving the air handling unit to a new location within the home.

    You informed us that you wish to use your own contractor to complete repairs therefore a cash payment in lieu of the condenser and air handler replacement was processed in the amount of $4,094.64, based on First American’s costs which may be less than retail. You can refer to your home warranty contract under Limits of Liability number seven and fifteen, for further information.

One time, my dryer broke and it couldn’t be repaired and they replaced it.

    My most recent claim was with my refrigerator. The first time, the water was leaking. For some reason, something wasn't working, right, so they fixed it. The second time it kept building up ice. My ice maker had broken and they repaired it. And they found out that not only was the ice maker bad, but the insulation around the door was also causing a problem. So we fixed that.

    I've only used First American twice and both times, it's just a quick phone call. Within a day, you hear from a vendor to come out and service. So, it's fairly quick and easy. I wasn’t impressed with the first contractor for the microwave. The work was fine when it was done but he couldn't do certain things and told us we needed to dismantle a vent from our microwave that he could not touch or do because of the way it was connected. And when he came back to fix it, it didn't even need to be undone. So it’s just something we didn’t have to fix. But the people we just had recently for our furnace was awesome. You'd hear the thermostat click but the furnace would never come on. So they came out, identified the issue and did a workaround that got us through another week or so until we got the parts. Then, they replaced the parts.

    I like that we don't have a big out of pocket expense when something happens because of the protection plan. You have ease of service and peace of mind that you aren't gonna have to come up with a big expense when you have something break down.

    We've been with First American for about six months now, and so far, we've used it a lot already, which has saved us a lot of money. I like how easy it is to get ahold of them and how responsive they are to send people out and try to help us out with anything we might need or any issues. To submit a claim, I usually go online to their website, then I click the dropdown, type away and click on the links or the little dropdown boxes of what I need. Usually, I get an email that says that someone has been assigned, then typically, someone reaches out within 48 hours.

    So far, the repair people that I've seen that we've had to use have been good. There have been times where we haven't been home and they've been professional and nice. We've let them in through our garage remotely and let them do the work. They complete it, leave everything how it should be and clean up really well. So, we've had no issues at all. The ones we've interacted with have been really professional and nice as well.

    When our furnace was having issues, First American ended up replacing it. We were both at work, so we let the repair people in to the garage and they did their work within about three hours. Now, everything appears to be functioning as it should. It's been a lot quieter with the furnace, and overall, the house seems to be in good shape. Getting First American is definitely worth it if someone has a home, especially if they just moved in recently and they're unsure with the home. I would highly ask people reach out to First American and see if they can give them a good rate and contract that fits their plans and needs for the house.

    My experience with First American has been good. They're responsive, and they manage my expectations well so that if I'm expecting somebody, they're good about showing up on or about that time. I like the technicians too. They're very straightforward. The only one I have an issue with is when someone doesn't take their boots off when they come in my house. I have white carpet.

    I've had good experiences with First American Home Warranty. I had to do three claims over the years. The are very difficult to get hold of. It seemed something would always break on a Friday and I could never get hold of them until Monday. Also, I always have to give them more information. And they find me. That's because I would try to get ahold of them on a weekend, and that's back east, so they couldn't find me. And when I called back on Monday, I would get people in the local area and they could find me. But the technicians are very good. They don't mind me watching. I'm curious. I like to see how things are done, so I always watch.

    I've been working with First American for years and I have all my rentals with them. There had been a couple of claims that I've had little runarounds with and I've had to call them several times, but the past couple of claims that I've turned in have ran pretty smoothly and they call and follow up with me, which I like. Almost everything that I've submitted has been covered. That's why I continue to do business with them. However, sometimes I feel like the quality of contractors that they have is not up there where it should be. There had been a couple of plumbers that I've used that I wasn't happy with. If I find a good one, I request them and they'll send out the same plumber, which works well. Post Plumbing is one of them. They're good to work with. Whenever I call in, I request that company. Most of the time, I get them. Sometimes I don't and that's okay. But, First American tries their best to place me with the one that I want.

    Simple repairs are fairly straightforward. Anything that's a little more complicated, it's very difficult to find experienced repair people. They have no resources to effectively repair the problem. I have to look for it. It's straightforward as far as what you need to do and how you need to coordinate to get it done. So far, the smaller and simpler repairs are general and they worked out fine.

    On some of the claims I've submitted to First American, they were too long to resolve a problem. Some other claims I've submitted have been rectified immediately. So, it's been kind of hot and cold. Opening a claim is not a problem at all. It's just sometimes getting things resolved can be challenging. The claims reps are a hit or miss. For the most part, it has been very positive with the exception of some claims where they were not resolving my problem and I had to reach out to a supervisor to help me resolve a problem.

    We recently did a claim and the technician that was sent out was extremely awful. He did not properly diagnose an issue. He just assumed a particular appliance that was needed repairing was the problem. He didn't even look at the internal workings. Then nothing got resolved for almost two months. We had to go with another company, not First American, to come out and fix the problem. So, it's been hit or miss, too. For the most part, First American has been really good about resolving issues in our home. There was a point in time we dropped them because of poor service. Then we gave them another chance and for the most part, we're gonna stick with them.

    The claim was for my furnace that was out during a cold storm. He also said they were gonna reimburse me to get a couple of heaters to keep warm with, but that didn't happen either. He said I would get $50 for my heaters. The next guy that came out was very good. He fixed the problem. He had to wait another day to get the parts, but he did get it and he came right back and got it taken care of. The second guy was from Sears Repair, and he did a fine job.

    I currently have 2 open claims with First American Home Warranty. Our built-in microwave and dual oven broke early January. Upon making the claim, I let the representative know these appliances were very expensive and we needed a qualified repair person. An appointment was made with ARS Inc. ARS came out on 1/10. It was determined we needed a control board for the oven and a megatron and diode for the microwave. We never heard back from the contractor and had to get FAHW involved.

    ARS finally responded and came out on 1/29 to replace the parts. The repair company damaged the oven and microwave beyond repair. I have numerous videos of the repairman admitting he damaged our appliances. I called FAHW and sent them the videos. They assigned Sears to come out. Sears appt was made for 2/7 (1 month without being able to cook). They no showed. I again begged FA for help and a new contractor given the length without an oven and microwave. Sears came out on 2/8.

    They stated the microwave needed multiple parts, two are back ordered with no date of availability. I called FA to beg for help and a replacement microwave. I was told no. 2/12 Sears came out for oven. The oven was damaged beyond repair, couldn't be calibrated, part that was needed isn't available and hasn't been (part ARS said they replaced). I called FA and begged for a replacement oven. I was told that wouldn't happen and there isn't a timeline for them to offer replacement, even if parts aren't available.

    At this point, FAHW has not honored their contract in good faith. My next step is to contact the Idaho Insurance Commissioner, the Idaho Attorney generals office and the local news stations. Upon researching FAHW, I can see attorney generals have sued them. I've spent countless hours for over a month begging them to help me and my family. Supervisors don't call back and keep being reassigned. Lastly, FAHW has been made aware of my severe celiac disease and the need to cook my meals at home. Doesn't matter.

I've called First American but they can't do anything because they have this company that they have contracted with to fix it.

    Hello Lori,
    We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Our records indicate you placed a claim on January 5, 2024, for the refrigerator not cooling and the oven range not working properly. We dispatched Asset Appliance, who found the refrigerator compressor, evaporator and filter dryer had failed; Asset Appliance replaced all listed parts to repair the failure. Regarding the oven range, Asset Appliance found the door gasket had failed; the technician replaced the door gasket at the time of service to repair the failure.

    On February 13, 2024, you requested assistance as you were continuing to experience a failure with the refrigerator. We dispatched Sears Appliance, who found the unit to have multiple major parts failing and would require replacement of the unit. On February 21, 2024, we provided you with a replacement unit option for your review as well as a cash payment option in lieu of the replacement. On this same day, you confirmed acceptance of the cash payment option in the amount of $1,771.21. Please be advised that this cash payment option is based on First American’s negotiated rates with its suppliers as per your home warranty contract, Limits of Liability, Number Fifteen. This cash payment has been authorized and will be processed to you via overnight mail. Since the cash payment option has been accepted by you, we consider this claim closed.

    I call the phone number when I file claims and First American immediately takes care of it. I get an email of who's gonna be coming in -- the name of the company and their phone number and that they're going to call me. But one time, days had passed and nobody called me so I went ahead and called the company. They checked their email and made an appointment for me. I'm thinking it would be better and I would get faster service or at least I would know what's going on if First American spoke to somebody with the company that they recommend.

    The contractors have been good. But the first one who was the water heater guy wanted to do the repair a certain way, which would have left a big hole in my drywall. They said they would do a little patch-up job but my boyfriend said no. My boyfriend pulled out the siding from the house to make it as easy for them as possible. It was done and it was a clean job. The second guy came out for the air conditioner and he did a great job. He found that there was ductwork that was damaged and that was why we weren't getting any flow into our master bedroom or bathroom. Once he fixed that, we're good. First American is an excellent company. They're very good at getting the help that I needed, things that I needed to get done, and they cover a lot more than some other home warranty. Also, I don't have to worry about it being a big amount if something breaks. It's a nice feeling.

    First American was great. But going into COVID and now, they're awful and they're not nice. They have call centers that are in other countries and these people don't care and they don't even understand. They don't live the way Americans do. I've specifically told the salesman that I didn't want to deal with foreign call centers because you can't get in touch and they don't call you back. I also have better Indonesian language skills than they have English skills. One of them even yelled at me and hung up on me when I asked to speak with someone who was English-speaking.

    When the air conditioning failed, it was also over the 4th of July weekend, so I knew nobody was going to come. So I called First American after that and I told them the situation. I have a baby here who is highly sensitive to dehydration. I also have an autistic child here not understanding why it's so hot. They sent people out and they told them what they wanted done. The techs said that they would only replace the parts but I told them that when another AC guy came out, he said we couldn't even have this R22 anymore and that we had to replace it with one that comes to a federal and state code.

    I was told that First American was not paying for an upgrade and they were going to send us the parts. When I refused that, they said they'd have somebody come out and they would change our gas from R22, then they'd give us the 415A. Then I talked to the air conditioning guys and they said we couldn't do that. They said it was dangerous and it wouldn't work in our system. In the end, First American just refused to fix the AC unless I agreed to their terms. But I said no. I read my policy to them and it said, in this case, the company has to replace the whole system.

    When we had freezing temperatures, the AC also wouldn't work because the outside thing blew the blower out. I called First American about it and they said that was not what my tech said. But I told them that I didn't have a tech, the ones who came out were their techs. And by the policy, they require me to call them. If I go outside, then they'd deny my claim. They went through three different companies and all of them told me the same thing. They said they were going to replace the parts, then they were going to put in this new Freon. I told them that they couldn't do that and they said that was what First American was paying them to do. But I told them not to because it was not safe. If you replace the Freon, then you have to go into the heating system and you have to change the coil that's there or it could start a fire. So you have to do the whole thing.

    Then they found out the blower was dead and the guy asked why don't we just get a whole new system. So I went back to First American and they told me no. At first they told me to call the contractors in their list. But I tried some contractors and the bids were 23,000, 19,000,and I don't have that money. When we couldn't reach an agreement, they asked us to call a guy, so I called a friend. I told him what they were trying to sell me and he said, we could replace our five-ton air conditioning unit and we could do it with this new Freon, then we have to have to replace the whole heating system because it wouldn't work. He ordered everything I needed and he said he could do it for me 7,500. I told him to do it because we were freezing.

    First American then said that they were going to send me some checks to pay for the parts. I finally told them that I replaced the unit and gave them the bill. But they said the amount of the checks were all they were going to give to me, so I put the checks in the bank. Then, they canceled one of them. After that, I was emotionally and physically sick. I'd tell my friends and neighbors to stay away from First American. They're liars and crooks. We suffered for 90 days because I had to get money from somewhere to replace my HVAC system. In the end, I filed a complaint with the division of insurance in Utah because First American flat out would not honor the policy. Then I ended up paying more than they did to have the repairs which the policy clearly says that they had to do. It was such a nightmare. It went on for three months and we had no air conditioning during a heat wave.

    I thought it was a good idea to read the contract before buying to cover everything. However, when I filed a claim, they came up with a thousand excuses and took forever to resolve the issue. I am sorry it never got resolved. I give up. My problem started on December 2nd, 2023, and today is February 11th, 2024. I wasted so much time trying to fix it. I made a mistake choosing them.

    Here are some reasons why you shouldn't choose them:

    1. They are super nice when you have to make premium payments, but good luck when you need their service.

    2. When I opened a claim, I clearly explained what was wrong and why. They said it was covered and requested a service charge. After paying the service fee, they said it wasn't covered. I was frustrated and asked why, but they couldn't give me a proper answer.

    3. No one takes responsibility for their mistakes.

    4. When you ask to talk to a supervisor, it's because they told you it's covered, but it turns out it's not. The supervisor can't give you a clear answer either. All they say is that it's in the contract.

    5. They ask you to do your own inspection and submit a report. Then, they send someone else for another inspection with a different report. It's confusing, and you never know when the third inspection will take place.

    6. The Claims Evaluations Department or Claims Analyst won't respond to you. You have to start all over again.

    7. They will never give you the correct information, and they always send a technician for whatever they want. I open a claim for A, but they will send a tach for inspection for b. Then you have to call customer service on the phone and tell them what the problem is, then put the plumber on the phone with the customer service to ok the inspection.

    If you love your time and life and want to enjoy your life, run, don't even think twice. Please do not reply with "We appreciate the consumer's feedback and would like to look further into this." If you do, then prove it and do as you say.

    First American apologizes for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Our records indicate you placed a claim on December 2, 2023, for the water heater leaking water and a stoppage in the drain line for the dishwasher (313355164). We dispatched independent contractor, One Touch Plumbing, who found that the water heater unit had a non-repairable internal leak and would require replacement. As a result of this recommended replacement, there were non-covered costs in the amount of $515.00, for modifications, which are not covered by the home warranty contract, Limits of Liability, Number Seven; the non-covered costs were accepted by you and the water heater was successfully replaced. Further, One Touch Plumbing reported to find the dishwasher drain line had a stoppage present; the technician cleared this stoppage and reported the failure to be corrected.
    On December 10, 2023, you requested further assistance advising that following the replacement of the water heater, the water pressure throughout the home was lower. One Touch Plumbing reported the water pressure was low due to the current pipes in your home; the technician stated this home will need to be re-piped as you currently have galvanized piping that is very old. One Touch Plumbing advised that you would need to place a new claim for the water pressure as this was unrelated to the replacement of the water heater or the dishwasher drain line, both of which were successfully completed.
    On December 13, 2023, you placed a new claim for the pressure regulator not working properly (313378110). We dispatched independent contractor, Capitol Plumbing And Rooter Incorporated (Capitol Plumbing), who reported to find the downstairs bathroom sinks to have low water pressure. The technician diagnosed and found the low water pressure was due to restriction in the water line; the angle stop was also rusted out due to age. On December 14, 2023, we contacted you directly to advise that per the home warranty contract, flow restrictions in freshwater lines were not covered, as per your home warranty contract, Plumbing Section.

    On December 27, 2023, and after review of the claim, we advised that we would be dispatching a second opinion contractor to confirm the diagnosis received by Capitol Plumbing. We dispatched contractor, One Touch Plumbing, who confirmed to find low water pressure to the hallway bathroom right side sink as a result of a flow restriction in the galvanized fresh water lines that would need to be re-piped. This information received from One Touch Plumbing confirms the previous diagnosis received from Capitol Plumbing and as mentioned, this failure is not covered by the home warranty contract, Plumbing Section. Due to receiving two coinciding reports stating that the failure is caused by a flow restriction in the freshwater line, the denial of the claim will stand. One Touch Plumbing has provided the cost of $575.00 to complete this recommended repair outside of your home warranty contract on a retail basis. You may contact One Touch Plumbing directly to coordinate the scheduling of a service appointment should they wish to proceed on a retail basis. We consider this claim closed.

    Was finally able to get a resolution with First American. While the process was frustrating at times, I appreciate them working with me for a resolution I was happy with.

    Original Review: Feb. 7, 2024

    I am in the process of trying to get my refrigerator replaced through the warranty and it has been horrible. First, you all didn't want to replace the warranty and had to go back and forth with the company that came out to fix my fridge that stated it had to be replaced. Then I was told that my case was closed and I'd have to create a new service request. After you all finally agrees to replace, you want to replace with subpar equipment and brand that have horrible reviews so that I have to pay you more money to have someone come out to look at a new fridge in a few month, because you didn't want to replace with a quality fridge. I pay for this service monthly so I would appreciate a better experience.

    Hello NaKeisha,

    First American apologizes for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of your claim and thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We are always looking for ways to better our service and your feedback is an invaluable part of the process. Our records indicate that the company authorized to replace your refrigerator. Therefore, the company provided you with the option to either accept the replacement (RF18A5101SR) or cash payment in lieu of the replacement for $1,325.54. The amount includes the refrigerator cost, delivery, installation, haul away of the old unit and any applicable sales tax. The cash payment is based on First American’s negotiated rates with its suppliers and are non-negotiable, which may be less than retail as indicated in your warranty contract, Limits of Liability Number Ten and Fifteen, which states:

    “You and Company may agree on payment of cash in lieu of re pair or replacement. Payment is made based on Company’s negotiated rates with its suppliers, which may be less than retail. If you accept cash payment, you are required to repair the Item or provide a new replacement and send proof of repair or replacement to Company. The Item will not be covered under this or future Contracts until such proof is provided.”

    “Company will determine, at its sole discretion, whether a covered system or appliance will be repaired or replaced. When replacing any appliance, Company will not pay for any failures that do not contribute to the appliance’s primary function including, without limitation, TVs or radios built into the kitchen refrigerator. Company will replace with equipment of similar features, efficiency and capacity but is not responsible for matching brand, dimensions or color. Company may install a smaller capacity unit, including but not limited to water heaters and furnaces, if the projected output of the re placement unit is similar to, or greater than, the replaced existing unit. Company reserves the right to replace with a rebuilt component or part or repair systems and appliances with non - original manufacturer’s parts. When coverage has been confirmed and a replacement is needed, Company is not responsible for matching any features of an existing item that do not contribute to the primary function of that item.”

    On February 8, 2024, you accepted the cash payment option. Please allow 7-10 business days to receive the check.

    We had a washing machine repair, a dishwasher repair and a garage repair as well, and everything's been good. First American usually does a good job of sending the request out and responding that way. However, I have to wait for a company that they pick, and the biggest problem I've had is sometimes getting the companies soon enough. It's just trying to get the companies to schedule you in, especially for plumbing when it's an emergency.

    With my last claim, First American's plumber got sick, so they had to cancel, then they had to cancel again. We had a water leak and I couldn't just pick my own plumber. I reached out to First American and said, "Can I pick my own plumber and then be reimbursed?" A week out, they authorized that and I paid the plumber upfront and First American reimbursed me. It worked out really well, but the authorization could come through quicker. Twice I've had plumbers that have had a similar thing that we couldn't get them in soon enough and had to wait for the authorization.

    After him doing some checking with me on hold, he said that he saw nothing in the file about my call with Kelly and her stating that she would email the info. He was going to send a message to the accounting dept, Doreen, to send me the email. I am also frustrated by the fact that no one with fam is willing to challenge the contractor on out of pocket costs that are simply not needed, I was told by the contractor "That's just the way it is with all water heater replacements."

    I live in Navarre, Florida, and in this area, sometimes it's difficult to get contractors that are willing to contract with First American. For example, I had an HVAC issue, and they had difficulty finding a contractor to come out and do the repair. However, that has more to do with my location and companies that are willing to sign up with some of these home warranty companies than it had to do with First American itself. If I could do anything though, I would suggest to First American that they look to larger, more established companies to do certain things. That way their chances of getting a service done in a reasonable amount of time perhaps increases. Besides that, my experience with First American has been positive, and I've been overall satisfied with the things they cover for the price.

    The last time I submitted a claim was for a home ceiling fan that was not operating. The representative I talked to at 10 o'clock that morning was very professional, understood the issue, and was able to answer my questions and set me up with a contractor relatively easily. The representative at First American told me to expect to hear from a contractor within 24 hours, and at about 1 o'clock that afternoon, the same day, the contractor called. I gave him some idea of what the issue was, and he gave me a date and time that he would be there. He also told me he would call 30 minutes out the appointed date and time, which he did.

    The contractor arrived on time and he was very professional. He assessed the job and got back to me after he got approval from First American to replace the fans. He gave me a date for the install, then he sent two of his representatives out to do the installation. They were also very professional, and they were very prompt and courteous too. Everything went well. I had two fans replaced and First American covered that.

    First American has been responsive. It's been a good experience. They've been logical in terms of when they decide to cover or not cover the things or repair. The technicians are a hit and miss. In the past 11 years, we had a couple of bad experiences with technicians. There was one plumber that once came and he said I damaged what needed to be repaired because he didn't want to do the job. It was a difficult job. The plumber said, "The home warranty company is not gonna pay for this. You broke it and you damaged it." I said, "Well, if they don't cover, how much can you provide me a quote?" He said, "No. I would never do this type of job."

    Luckily, I have the cameras inside of the house. So, I called the owner of the plumbing business, and I explained to her the situation. You can even listen to his attitude. I have it recorded in the cameras. At the end of the day, they said, "You know what? Let me call the First American and we're going to cover all the repairs because this is unacceptable."

    Sometimes, the contractors take advantage of the home warranty companies and the clients. Another situation is with a pool company that came last year and they were supposed to replace one part of the equipment with a new part. They replaced it with a used part. They just painted it over to make it look like new. So, I reported that to First American. They said, "Well, it's okay. They can replace it with used parts if we approve it." Then I said, "Well, what did you approve?" "Well, we approved a new one." We went through the process of documenting that that contractor did the wrong thing.

    Then, you will never have good luck with air conditioner technicians. What the air conditioner business owners say is, "Work through the warranty, but tell them that they need to bring it up to code even if it is not necessary." That is where they charge you 3,000 additional dollars for work that was not needed. Unfortunately, that's the way that air conditioner companies work just trying to make money. Other than that, a technician came this morning. It's a pool equipment that was leaking. He opened it and replaced something inside a multi-port to avoid the leak. It seems to be working okay now. We have to give it 24 hours for the seal to settle and make sure that there's no additional leaks.

    First American is lined with companies that provide good service. However, I've also had a couple of experiences where I wasn't happy with who they referred out to me. Two months ago, my central heating went out, and I was not happy with First American's service. They referred a company, Anthem, and they sent someone out, but it was a bad experience. To me, the repair guy came off as he was there to try to sell me stuff rather than repair the issue. I'm 70, and I felt like he was taking advantage of an older person. He wanted to know if I wanted an estimate, and at first, I said no, that I had a home warranty.

    At one point, it was almost as if the repair guy insinuated that the money I was spending on the home warranty, I should be putting toward a new central heating and air conditioning service. Because I felt that he was threatening me, I told him, "Go ahead and send me the estimate." At one point, he suggested that, "If you don't make these repairs, I'm gonna let First American know and they'll void out your contract." He made the repair in five minutes, but then he took photos of everything that he thought was wrong with the system and he left and said he would email me everything. I didn't get any emails, but at 7:30 the next morning, I got a call from Anthem letting me know that the part had come in. I didn't even answer the phone. I just let it go on my voicemail.

    Anthem called back about 30 minutes later to schedule an appointment for that afternoon, and I said, "Well, is this in relation to the home warranty?" They said yes, and I said, "Am I paying for anything?" They said no and that whoever came out had to get an approval from a manager to get the part. I asked the woman who was on the phone to make the appointment, then I asked, "Who are you sending out?" She said, "It'll be a repair person." It was not a technician or whoever they sent the day before, which I was glad because I was going to tell her not to send him back out. I've never had that before where I felt as an older person, I was being taken advantage of, and I was really concerned about that.

    The second guy who came out the next day was there for a couple of hours and he made the repair. He was very good. I was happy with him. Overall, I've been very happy with First American, and I recommend them. In fact, I referred my sister who purchased a home and she got First American.

    Having First American Home Warranty is worth it. The hardest part is the time it gets to get things repaired. Submitting a claim over the phone is easy. The hard part is for the contractors to get here. That's always, "We'll be here between 7:00 in the morning and 6:00 PM," which I'm at work. Maybe they could narrow it down. I could plan better. Luckily, my work lets me take lunch whenever. So, I would wait until they ring my doorbell. "Okay, I'm at work. I'll be there in 15 minutes." "Okay, we could wait that long." They're good, nice guys.

    My dishwasher wasn't coming on. We've been washing dishes for three weeks already by hand. The tech fixed it but ordered some parts. We had to wait a week for the parts to come in. And they came back and fixed it. But it broke again. I called First American again, and they said, "Okay, we'll send somebody else over." He came over here last week. So, I'm waiting for the parts to come in.

    We're satisfied with First American. It makes things a lot simpler because things go wrong and we can deal with them without having too much hassle. They have their own contractors that they send out.

    When I signed up with First American, they explained everything to me, and that we had to pay the first down payment that was a certain amount. Filing a claim is so easy. All I do is call and tell them. They send whoever that my claim is for and then their contractor calls me to set up a date that they'll come out and look at it. They come out and do the repairs and they'll call back and check if everything is working okay. First American's customer service is wonderful. They get right on it.

    I love First American. I stand behind everything that they do. They’re family. When I do my claims, I go online. It's fairly simple. It's seldom I ever do mine over the phone. Once you file the claim, First American gives you the name of the service company. They also give you the phone number in case you need to contact them. With me being budget-conscious even for the businesses themselves, I always recommend First American. That's where I'm gonna be until I don't like to wait anymore.

    The young man from the plumbing company that I recently used was phenomenal. He was helpful and informative. So, that was really good. I'm always skeptical about who comes out if we have an AC issue. There was an instance once before when I had a contractor for the AC unit. I didn't care for his demeanor and the way that he handled things. He kept walking in my house with dirty shoes, on which I don't approve of. You don't wear shoes in our home. I asked him if he had contractors do this and he didn't. He also lied, which spoke to his lack of experience. The problem was that it wasn't heating. So, he pushed it into emergency heat, which caused my light bill to triple.

    I called my light company and they gave me the date that it went up. I was able to correlate that with the date of him coming out. My thermostat is digital, so it also tells me its history. I looked at it and that day, he had in fact turned it on to emergency heat. I told First American that I didn't want that contractor at my house ever again. But they assigned him again and I called them and said, “I told you all once I don't want that company at my house. That young man does not know what he is doing. And I don't want him touching anything at my home.”

    There was also one instance where I needed a second opinion on something being done because I was told it was one thing and then I called another company and found out that they were trying to replace the entire unit at that time. But the person I got the second opinion from told me that it was only gonna require a few minutes of welding and that the tech that was sent out was apparently lazy. So, I called First and said, “Look, we don't have to spend all this money to do this. Let's just get somebody out here that knows what they're doing because I got a second opinion. This is the deal.” Then everything went fine.

    Good service but had a long wait to get it. We had no heat in freezing weather, but couldn't get a service employee for almost a week. The service technician who finally did come was excellent - knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. This seems to be the main drawback with this service. In the times I've used it, the work has been excellent and the technicians more than capable. It just takes too long to get an appointment scheduled.

    First American covers my appliance and it's cheaper than buying new appliance. But sometimes they don't have people that works in my area. Other than that, I've never had a problem with them. The last time somebody come out was for my fridge. A Sears guy came and he knew his stuff and was in and out.

    I like First American. However, some of the companies they get need to upgrade better. But they usually send somebody right away. I had a bad problem with my plumbing. The rep said, “We're gonna get somebody out as soon as possible. This is urgent to us.” I had called late at 3:00 in the morning and they came out the next morning. I'm satisfied. I just wish their price was a little lower.

    I really appreciate First American. They've come through different problems I've had with different things around the house. I had a problem with the air conditioning. They also had to replace my furnace. The first one, they paid for everything. The second one, I had to pay a little bit more. The best benefit of having First American is I can depend on and rely on things getting done.

    I have been working with FAHW for several years now. I have Warranties through them for 10 different properties. I have tried numerous other warranty companies over the years, but have determined that FAHW is the best in the business. I regularly recommend the company to other landlords and realtors. However, to be fair, communications with and between the company/vendors can be very challenging at times. Overall, FAHW offers the best value and service I have experienced. As long as they keep that up, they'll keep me as a client.

    I signed a one-year contract with First American Home Warranty and paid $995. When I moved, I used a locksmith service and was satisfied. However, when my furnace stopped working and I submitted a service request, the contractor scheduled a date two months later. I contacted customer service to request a refund of a $100 service fee. I explained that the contractor had given me a date for two months later, but nothing had changed. I found a service that came to my house the same day and changed a part I paid $475. And now they called me for contract renewal. I told them I did not want to work with them anymore and that I did not recommend First American Home Warranty to anyone.
