Our fireplace issue has still yet to be resolved. The “service company” who came out on the call didn’t fix the shut on/off issue. When I called the company to reschedule a followup, they told me they only cover their work for 30 days and normally don’t mess with fireplaces. Called First American for assistance, spoke to Shelley C, who willing agreed to look into the issue but I’ve never heard back. Sent her the pictures, receipts, etc. as requested but no response. And this was back in February. My overall rating is low because I’m paying for services that aren’t being completed.

My experience with the contractors from First American Home Warranty is mixed. My last request with STREET PLUMBING AND ROOTER. Their call is super hard to connect through. There were times the worker they sent trying to reach to me and I missed the call, but immediately call back to their number (every communication is through one number) but couldn't get through. Eventually the worker couldn't enter my home and we missed the appointment. Ever since then I was trying to call their service number to setup another appointment, and haven't got connected successfully.

Had ice cube maker service, paid the technician $85.00 - then First American Home Warranty billed me for this amount. I had to prove that it had been paid, felt like I was on trial. Your technician works for you, I can hire anybody to issue a Home Warranty. I have only used you guys TWICE - and my second time was a real doozy. I think I should be compensated with a free something or another. An apology just doesn't cut it!!

Reply from First American Home Warranty

Hello Marsha. Our records indicate you placed a claim on May 21, 2022, for your refrigerator leaking water from the ice maker. Per the home warranty contract under Customer Service Number Two, anytime a claim is placed the $85 service call fee becomes due. You informed First American that you paid the service fee to the contractor. As of July 5, 2022, the contractor confirmed he collected payment and your claim reflects as satisfied. First American apologizes for any inconveniences you experienced and considers this claim closed. Thank you.

We are always looking for ways to better our service and your feedback is an invaluable part of the process. Our records indicate contractor, Harris Water Heaters INC. (Harris Water Heaters) reported the failure to the water heater was caused by corrosion and was leaking at the flex. Harris Water Heaters replaced the hot side water flex and nipple connections, and the unit was operating normally at this time. Harris Water Heaters returned to further diagnose as you were experiencing the same failure, and found the hot side nipple connection was leaking and repaired by replacing the gate valve and water flex lines. We have confirmed that your unit is operating normally and therefore consider this claim as closed.

In my opinion, if a service person tells the home warranty people that the electrical problem is the fixture is bad, then that should be covered by the warranty, because it's part of the electrical system. The light bulb is not, that I understand, but the other I don't.

Our in-wall plumbing leak was resolved, but then drywall needs to be replaced. FAHW could not source a local contractor, and therefore told me to find my own for reimbursement. I can't find a local contractor, probably for the same reason that FAHW couldn't find a contractor, and now I am getting emails from FAHW saying that if I don't find a contractor soon then FAHW is going to close my claim. Unnecessary pressure on me to try to do something that FAHW couldn't do itself.
