It would be nice to call and actually get a person. Things don't always fit in their cookie cutter options so you waste a lot of time going in circles before you finally get ahold of someone. The first 2 times my claims went well and they went through efficiently. This morning I tried to create a service for my AC and they were going to dispatch a company that has very poor ratings. I wanted to cancel so I could get a more refundable vendor and they did help with that. I think they need to vet their vendors. I think they need to do a little bit of research about who they're going to be sending out to their customers homes and if those people have a good reputation.

I have used it a number of times. They got the problems fixed and I haven't had any problems afterwards. They use independent companies that they hire to do different things and most of the time they get it done right away. I'll probably continue to be with them for awhile because I live alone and I can't fix everything myself. I have recommended it to a number of my friends and coworkers already.

It's a great value. I choose to use it on some plumbing issues two weeks ago and they were outstanding, they were very quick and I am a very happy client. I don't like the going to the one eight hundred number because that is a robot and you can't get anybody to talk to. I am constantly emailing my representative or inside people so I can get the service I want. It is difficult to put in a claim on the phone because they're not from America and are hard to understand.

I've had good experiences the two times that I have used the First American Home Warranty. Just recently I had the soap sanitizer go out and they came over bringing a new sanitizer and installed it and got it back up and running with very little effort. The person that came over to fix the pool was the same one that came over last year and both times he did a good job fixing the whole filter.

We've had First American Home Warranty for almost fourteen years when we bought our home. We really enjoyed their service and continue with it. They've always been there. They are good people to help you and they get the job done. About two or three weeks ago our kitchen sink backed up and I called them and they were out the next morning and within fifteen minutes it was unlocked. The company they used was very nice and we haven't had a problem since.

They are right on it. They called me to take care of it. I'm surprised it was extremely fast. I called them and told them that something went out and they had someone out here the next day. First American Warranty kept me informed on what people were coming and if I could make it and it was okay. They were just very informative. I didn't have to do anything but a phone call to let him know. Just keep doing what you're doing. Excellent customer service and it's well worth the fees for the policy.

They actually answer the phone in a timely manner. The fan that was not working so they ordered the part. And it took a little longer because the staffing was sick and they had to reorder the part because it was faulty. It took a little longer than we had anticipated. But I was impressed that they kept calling back and checking in with me because other warranty companies do not do that.

Everyone has been very good about getting a repair person here in a timely manner. I've been happy with the people that they send to do the repairs.

They follow up and make sure that everything is taken care of and I like that. We have used it several times and we've been pleased with the service we have gotten. They always come through on getting everything repaired and they follow up afterwards. I wish they had more people that work for them in our areas. We are in Kentucky and sometimes they've sent people from way up in Ohio. If they had more local people to do the work that would be better.

The last time I called and got assistance. They've been extremely helpful. Last week my A/C unit when out and they were extremely helpful. They explained when they would sent people out and they set up an appointment. The guy came out and explained everything to me step by step detailed and everything. He even showed me if we needed to correct the problem again. Customer service allows us to pay the payment online which is really great and it is very affordable and their sales is very knowledgeable of what is going on and very helpful.

We had a couple of stove top repairs. They came and fixed it a couple of times and then decided it was time for a new one so they replaced it. We have had a refrigerator that had to be repaired and they did it. When we have a problem, we call First American and it is handled. They take care of it and follow up with us. If we aren't happy, all we have to do is call you and you handle it.

The technician that handled the problem called us and he kept right on top of it, even though it took longer than we had wished but it wasn't their fault. The person they sent out had difficulty with the space. It wasn't quite big enough for the dishwasher but she was right there the whole time. The lady followed up every day and kept us abreast of what was going on.

The home already had First American Home Warranty and we just continued it because it has definitely helped us with things that have broken. Home Warranty is in contact with us when we have a problem to see if the problem has been resolved and if we're satisfied with how it was resolved. We've used it several times for some kitchen appliances and just recently our garage door opener broke. And they came out to fix it. They're just very prompt and courteous. And it seems to me like they want to know if we were satisfied with what was done.

I think they do a pretty good job but it's a little bit hard to manage. Often times there's not someone in our area to use for contracting but I think they try to make it work. We had a refrigerator door that would not automatically shut so we called them and it was one of those times that they didn't have someone on contract for that type of refrigerator but they allowed us to use another contractor. And then there was some discussion about what was going to be covered and what not. The confusing part was I couldn't remember which way it went but they kept talking about what wasn't covered and they didn't seem to match very well. My only other comment was that the booklet that was sent to me seems to be a different version from what the customer service person was talking about in terms of things that are covered and not. There's a very lengthy list of things that aren't covered.

They're pretty good. They don't always follow up but you get call backs for appointments and send me an email saying the appointment was made so that's good. One time my air conditioner stopped working and I called and they sent somebody out. He worked on it and I had to call back a few days later because it started leaking. And that was because the technician didn't get the pan set right so I called another company just to verify. The customer service does a pretty good job. They call and give me what I want or what I need and I usually get a confirmation call no later than the next day so that's a good thing for me.

Every time we call, I'm able to get in contact with somebody to help us resolve whatever issue we may have. We had our washer go out on us and they immediately got us connected with a tech to come out and look at it and we were able to fully replace it at no charge to use other than the initial fee to have the tech come out. We haven't had to pay really anything out of pocket and we've had three different expensive repairs done for just thirty five dollars each.

We had a garbage disposal that wasn't working. They came out and the young man that came out didn't know what the garbage disposal was supposed to do and he said that there was nothing wrong with it. So we let it go and a few months later it got bad and I called again and they sent another person out. He said that the garbage disposal wasn't working and he replaced it. He was in and out in thirty minutes and he did an excellent job.

I have already recommended it to people. I think their customer service is excellent, every now and again there is a bad connections but often enough it is good. We used it a month ago and they sent a nice gentleman here to check out the washer and it was going to cost more repair than to replace so First American sent use a check and we got a new one. It takes away the hassle of finding a contractor, they do all the legwork.

It was in the closing paperwork for my house and I have kept it up past the year in case there is something wrong. If something is wrong, I can go online and order it and they fix the problem. They did everything they needed to do and kept me informed by calling. When I used the warranty on the garbage disposal, they sent a plumber and he fixed it. They come promptly, by the next day, and it works out. The plumbing service they sent when the garbage disposal wasn't working was friendly and showed my son how to fix it if it happened again, which was really good.

I haven't had any issues when filing requests and stuff. I had to file a claim for my garbage disposal but then I ended up fixing the problem myself. Something else then was wrong with it and the company came and they were in and out in like 15 minutes and there were no issues. I've had a home warranty company before and I did not like them. I would call and make a claim and they would say it was covered and then they would send me a bill and say that it wasn't covered. So I didn't want to get another warranty but so far so good.

They have been absolutely amazing. They were able to quickly respond to calls and the contractors that they use are absolutely fabulous. My washer went out and they went ahead and replaced it. Then my dryer died and they replaced it. And my water heater went out and they placed it. They immediately came out and they've done a lot for us. They respond quickly and their contractors respond quickly. I would recommend First American Home Warranty to almost anybody who buys a house. They're in great hands.

I wanted the double locks changed on the house and they were out there the next day. The person that did it was very cordial and explained what he was doing and the options that I had when there was an extra cost. It was a good experience all around. It was easy to schedule an appointment and I didn't have to wait and extended period of time. Sometimes it can be kind of confusing getting on the correct website and a lot of times you end up on the site for a home warranty search engine instead of the one where you want to get the service.

When the first contract for a repair person did not work out, they imemdiately found another store. I had a refrigerator icemake issue where the water was going all over the inside of the freezer causing stalactites and stalagmites and First American found a vendor to come out and fix the problem but the vendor could not come out for two weeks and when I said that wasn't accetable, First American found another source immediately. They responsed immediately to the concern that I had.

They were prompt and answered my questions, they send somebody right away which was very helpful. I had to use my warranty a few times actually. We just purchased a home and realized that the dishwasher door wasn't latching properly and the ice maker on our fridge wasn't making ice. The plumber had broken one of the valves into it. They are reasonable, friendly, and hardworking. All the things that I would want in the company to service my home. Keep up the great work.

We've had a couple of claims and they've been very responsible and quick. There was a couple of issues when we first bought the house. A couple of weeks in, the furnace and heating air conditioning went out and we called them and they sent somebody out to replace the unit so it it took about a week or so. Unfortunately, the contractor that they hired to do it everything talked about buying a new thermostat for three hundred and some dollars and come to find out it was only about thirty dollards and it was the wrong one for the unit. And it wasn't working and we ended up paying like two thousand dollars. We had some other people come out and they were the ones that actually found the issue and told me some of the issues and they got it fixed working great. When I called First American, the first contractor they sent out to us was not reputable and they just basically said too bad, we can't do anything about it.

Whenever I had a claim, they came pretty fast and they work fast. Another company took forever to get somebody here and they didn't know what they were doing. First American has people that come and fix things and they know what they're doing. I think for my it's most important. I had a plumbing issue and I called First American to put the claim in and they came and fixed it. They always come and professionally fix things and you don't have to think about it.

I found them to be very understanding and very willing to communicate and discuss whatever needs I had and helped me through my situation. I was experiencing difficulties with appliances and they responded by sending the proper people out to diagnose and help resolve the problem or have the product replaced if it was beyond repair. I believe they set some very high standards for other home warranty companies. We've never been disapointed and we feel like they are fair and their pricing is good.

Hi I had a company come out to check our a/c unit and said they found a few things going on with it . Then I called up our home warranty on it then they told me they would have to send out one of the companies under the warranty to check it out also and I didn't have a problem with that and the company on there hand said everything looked to be ok just maybe the freon may be a little low but now makes me wonder about other repair companies about their honesty and who to believe . So now I'm wondering is there really something going on with my a/c unit or not just don't want to be left without it if it fails this summer. 🤔

I'm leaving four stars because your warranty company needs to have your back. Instead I have to be calling the companies that they randomly select to perform the work on my home, Checking that the approvals are in and the work gets scheduled in a timely manner. I shouldn't be the one doubling back on these companies to get things done on my home. Not ok.

Our garage door started going up and down on its own and company came out that day and fixed it. One of our heating units went out on a Saturday and no appts available until following Friday when we were out of town for a planned trip. We returned on next Monday and they called with an appt and came out to relight pilot light and remove some residue fromthermalcouple. Tuesday the heating unit went out again. It was assigned to a different company. I called them and was told by the person answering he would call me back. He never did so I called him back. He said could send someone next day as his person had broke his thumb. No one showed for the appt so I did a resubmission. And it was assigned to yet another company who scheduled me a a workin appt today which is pending.
