Andrea Eugene, OR

First American Home Warranty offers great protection for your home. The service they provide is well worth the price you pay. They have been a lifesaver to us, when we moved into our home and realized that the heating and ac was broken. They offered us excellent service and quick turnaround times. Also having First American Home Warranty saved us a lot in out of pocket costs. I would highly recommend their service to anyone, especially if you're moving into an existing home!

Lynn B Richards Tucson, AZ

My experience was both delightful and frustrating. Eventually, we got a new washing machine that is wonderful! However, the journey to get it took nearly a month. Initially when I made the call for a service request, I told them that I am not at home, Tuesday thru Thursday, but my guest at the home, Sue, would be there. Additionally, I have a padlocked gate at my house, and the service people can't get to the door without first calling to let me know they are there. So since I would be away, I gave them Sue's phone number to call. However, on the day they arrived, they called me, not Sue. I repeated my initial instructions, and they said they had no way of having both numbers on the work order. This simply is nonsense! You must have many customers who are landlords who pay the bills and make decisions, while also having tenants who are occupying the home. This requires two different names and phone numbers. Please change your system to include and identify landlord/tenant names and phone numbers! As for the service... The initial service person was personable and clearly trying to help. He worked hard for quite some time on the machine. Then he said he needed to order parts. He was new as a technician, and no one with more experience was sent with him. When the parts finally arrived, he came back to install the new parts, and it did not solve the problem. So we waited again. Meanwhile no communication. By the third time, the manager and the new technician were both on the job. The manager appeared not to care about my situation, nor did he appear to care if it were ever fixed. When I complained about the time it was taking, and told him perhaps he should just get a new machine, HE LAUGHED!!! But a few days later I got a call from the warranty people saying they were going to replace it. I To summarize, the service people were either confused or unwilling to replace the machine, and returned 3 times trying to fix the old one. Each time there was a nearly ten day wait to get parts. This waiting time was very difficult for me I had no way to wash my clothes for a month, and I didn't get any phone calls saying what to expect. Perhaps you could have given me a loaner to use while the parts were ordered. Better communication would have helped greatly. Thinking of how it might be if you were the customer would automatically improve the communication. No one wants to be left in the dark when a repair is needed in their home. I haven't any idea why it took so long, and that was extremely frustrating. But the new machine is excellent, and I'm happy with the final result.

We have a Home Warranty on a rental property we own. The tenants reported that there was water leaking from the ceiling. We began to worry that there might be an ice dam causing water to be pushed into the house. But the plumber that was called to check things out, found that a washing machine hose was the cause of the water leak. It’s comforting to know that the Home Warranty offers specialists in so many fields and they are quite prompt in getting the right people on the job!

We had a problem with a clothes washer not draining, contacted AHW through their website to setup an appointment. It took a few days before the local appliance contractor could come out, when they did they determined it was a failed pump, had to arrange with AHW to approve the part then order. It was a week later before the contractor could return to install the part. The contractor did a decent job with the repair but AHW has inherit delays in approval and ordering that dealing directly with a local contractor could be avoided. The only glitch was a request to pay the service fee after it had already been paid to the contractor upon arrival. I would recommend not to prepay online when placing a call for service. The current system does allow a notification of a tech in route and a follow up on completion of the service. We faired much better than others with only minor delays to approve and order parts.

I was about to change home warranty companies as I was very dissatisfied with 1st American. Long waits on the phone and no supervisors to talk to. Then they instituted a much better on line system where you can place an order and have a vendor to call within minutes. When the vendor has not called me back, or has too long of a lead time, I tell them on line and they immediately send me another contact. The system has been much improved and I have 4 policies with them. Do everything on line with 1st American and you should have minimal problems. They've also upgraded their vendors through on line feedback from their customers. Much,much more responsive now. Much better than American Home Shield. I have no experience with the other home warranty companies.

Thank you First American Home Warranty!! We bought all new appliances (refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, washer and dryer) in May 2016 when we purchased our home. After a major issue with our home in February 2018 that we paid out of pocket for because we did not have a home warranty I did research on home warranty companies and was very Leary from the bad reviews. After much review of the company and drilling our salesman about the bad reviews I read online we decided to give First American a chance. It was the best decision we made, there is a 30 day waiting period after you sign up. The company asks you about the status of your appliances currently and since they were all brand new they were all working fine. Three weeks after our home warranty became active after the 30 day waiting period our refrigerator suddenly stopped working. We put in a claim with the warranty company and Sears came out to survey the issue within a week. Sears said the refrigerator had a leak of coolant in the motor department and would need major repair. First American approved the repair, after the parts were ordered and arrived Sears came back and installed the parts. Unfortunately that did not fix the issue, we still had a refrigerator that was 70 degrees. We called First American again and they sent Sears back out and it was determined the refrigerator needed to be replaced. First American purchased a new refrigerator for us under our home warranty! The only complaint I have is the communication between First American and us could of been a lot better. We had to call First American MANY times to keep the ball rolling forward or find out the status of repairs or replacement. If First American reads this review, please improve your communication with customers it will eliminate some of the frustration for customers.

I was a paying customer with First American for years. They always took care of my claim timely and I was never denied a claim including the full replacement of my AC unit, Thermostat, and Heat Pump when it went out and I was 9 months pregnant. I was really happy with the claim approval ratio and the ability to have them send me a check for the replacement value of the device or unit should the builder grade replacement they offer not be something I wanted. The reps don’t speak the best English and really know nothing about home items, but I was able to usually get my issues typed up enough that the companies taking the issue could understand what I needed. The only reason I switched from them is because they were higher priced for the bells and whistles I wanted than other companies. I would certainly recommend.

This company lies of what they offer. So let me explain the real process. Out HVAC went out on 8/9/2023 made claim same day at 5pm. No one called so we contacted the company and was told next appt is 8/14/2023 between 8-2pm. Now we have heat index 110's, county heat advisory, we have our grandchild who is one, and my husband is disabled. I called First American requesting a possible sooner appointment or another company. No, was the answer at the end. They can have someone come in 24 hours if it is an emergency and they did not consider this being an emergency. Now today is 8/14, company came and stated they must submit everything over to the company to see what will be covered and not. My question was "what do you mean what they will cover or not." He could not answer to that and said that it usually takes 2 days to hear back from First American after they submit the report. Once first American decides then the contractor will put me back on the list for repair. How is this ok and why do I pay them so much to be treated like this. I called and they confirmed it will take 48 hours for them to get back to the contractor. Then they will decide and order the parts. Then after the parts get delivered (oh and it will not be overnighted) they will call the contractor to get you scheduled for another appointment. So, in all if you have no heat or air get ready to either be burning alive or freezing for YES 2 WEEKS.

Hello Vanda,

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. At this time, our records indicate that on August 24, 2022, contractor Belair Cooling & Heating (Belair Cooling) has recommended to replace the condenser fan motor as it is humming and overloading the compressor. First American authorized to replace the condenser fan motor. You may accept to proceed with the repair or may accept cash payment in lieu of the repair for $464.000. The amount includes the condenser fan motor, labor to install 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 Fourteen, which states:

“Contract holder and Company may agree on payment of cash in lieu of repair or replacement. Payment is made based on Company’s negotiated rates with its suppliers, which may be less than retail.”


First American is awaiting your decision on how to proceed and considers this claim pending.

Thank you,

The cooling in both first and second floor was not working. I would have to wait at least three weeks before someone would come out. It's ridiculous I've never had that kind of service before especially with a new service that I started just a couple months ago.

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. At this time, our records indicate that on July 19, 2022, you placed a claim for your air conditioning not cooling. First American dispatched independent contractor Mechanical & More LLC (Mechanical & More) to diagnose the failure. On July 20, 2022, First American authorized you up to $200 to hire a licensed independent contractor to diagnose the failure. Consumer was informed to provide with own contractor diagnosis and bid to repair or replace directly to First American for review Once the information is received the information will be reviewed for covered items and authorized accordingly. The consumer may refer to warranty contract under Customer Service Number Three which states:

“Sometimes Company may not be able to locate a contractor to service your claim and may request that you contact an independent licensed contractor. Covered repairs or replacements will be authorized if the work can be completed at an agreed upon rate. If your contractor does not bill Company directly you will be reimbursed the authorized amount upon receipt of a paid invoice”

On July 25, 2022, you requested to cancel the claim as the unit is working fine. As such, First American cancelled your claim.

First American considers this claim closed.

I have been with First American since I moved in my condo in 1999 and never had a problem. It's the vendors they use that need to be rated.

There seems to be no follow-through between FAHW, and the contractor. Our service has not been completed and has been rescheduled multiple times. We are now scheduled for August 3.

Quick response. Replace was a problem. It took forever to get the replacement after several calls. When replacement came the staff was prompt and thorough.

Because I feel that the whole house fan should have been covered. We have replaced items at our own expense rather than make several claims, but I do not feel this claim should have been denied.

Hi Claudette,


First American would like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of this 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 show you placed a claim for your whole house fan not working properly. First American dispatched Compound Electric to diagnose the issue and they reported that the fan was covered in insulation which caused restrictions on the fan blades and smothered the fan motor, causing it to overheat. This claim was denied due to the failure not being caused by normal wear and tear. Please refer to the Limits of Liability section of your home warranty contract.
