First American Home Warranty Reviews

Reasonable.. but you guys don’t listen to the customer. I tried to explain to the agent on the about my AC.. long story. You guys need to get it together and their language was not understood or understandable. 0 ⭐️

Everything takes so long to get processed. If you do not call repeatedly and stay on top of them, it takes forever.

down and started leaking water. Upon realizing this we dialed first america to file a claim. They assigned us a specialist technician and sent him to check our water heater. The technician arrives and only checks from the garage, he never enters the house. The next day the technician gave an estimate of approximately 500 dollars for modifications to the installation of the new water heater. Upon receiving this information we called First America and I told them to appoint another technician because the other one, since he arrived, saw the opportunity to do business with supposed modifications for the installation of the new water heater, which were correct and not modification was necessary. They told me that they could not assign another technician as that was the assigned technician. I told him that I was not comfortable with the technician that we felt that he saw the Opportunity to get some extra money, since we only wanted to repair the boiler which he didn't even check, there was no reason to make modifications. Then I ask them to change the technician and they tell me no, that that was my assigned contractor and that there was no way to change it and they tell me that there are two ways: or two options: One option is: we hire our own contractor with a license and invoice and registration and send them the invoice and they will send us a part of the invoice that we pay. And when everything is done they occupied that invoice To cover the new equipment in the future under the same policy. The other option was for them to They sent a check with what First America pays for that repair. And I told them that allows me to consult it With my husband and let him make the decision. During this process the days passed until reaching two weeks without water Heater. I called them back and I explain again and I tell them again that I am still struggling and they still did not solve me the problem with the water heater and insisted that I had to pay the technician the money for the Modifications or grab a cashier's check for what they paid for that repair. Because of the failure with the water heater, we had no shower on the top tier, no washing machine, no dishwasher. After all this stress generated I spoke to them again and they told me to hire my own technician. And what Send the invoice and let me They will pay part of the bill, not the 100 Percent but Probable more than Half. That's what I did, that same day they told me that, I spoke to the Company that originally installed the boiler and they immediately came, inspected and changed the water heater without any modifications to the house. Charging me 550 for the unit change, which had an active warranty with the factory. And from which I later found out that the First America technician had already done the process to make the unit change and I found out through a First America agent. As I followed the Instruction, I sent the invoice and in exchange I received a check for a fabulous 40 dollars. They call me and tell me that they closed my case, that since I did not agree to pay the technician for the modifications that he wanted to make because he did not need them, they took the Cashier check option to finalize and conclude my case. So obviously I was upset when I received the check for 40 dollars and I complained to them about what one of their employees said that they would pay me more than half the amount. It cost and this turned out, and they told me that everything had been done under contract that I should have read the smaller letters in the contract and that if the equipment has a warranty from the manufacturer, First America does not cover it. Although the seller of My house opted to get a premium warranty with first American being the most complete package they have. Then I answer the Woman who answered my call and I then told her that the First America warranty does not work for me, because in my new house I installed all new appliances and that I wanted to cancel the warranty and get my money back. What were they paid to grab? a new warranty for home. And she tells me that they cannot return 100 percent that I have to pay a penalty for canceling and I told her three weeks ago we bought the house, not even a month has passed and I already have problems with you And that the penalty that I They charged for filing a claim and not for canceling the contract and I told them that I was canceling because they did not comply with the service. After 4 years of being clients in various houses. And she said that she was sorry that there was a claim and that she was going to charge me the penalty and collect the money for monthly payments for canceling. That is to say, after more than three years of being their clients in different houses and on this occasion where it is their turn Solve a problem which they did not do, it turns out that everything gets complicated and that under those conditions I could cancel and then I told him that he came The boiler company Li——-and they came and me They installed it without any problem, they did the Change of equipment On the other hand, without modifications, without changes or adaptations, because the facilities They did not occupy any modification, which was where the problem began and she answers me, and She said that neither she nor I were technicians, that's what specialists were for, and that she fully trusted her technicians. I told him that I trust the technicians of the Company li—- and I asked her if for her I was a liar and that she didn't know if I was lying or not, but that they based it on her techniques and then I told her I said that there was the problem in that they did not give the client their place. And then I asked if that was what the 40 Dollars covered and she She tells me that it is the payment to the technician based on a tabulator that they have. I said that was where she had the problem. Because the technician came with the First America clients and they wanted to get the Payment from them at the expense of her clients. Because 40 dollars, to where I live, they don't even pay the gas to the technician for the Service. So they without me make a decision They sent a cashier's check for 40 dollars, which was the amount they paid for the technician. It should be noted that at the outset we made the payment of 85 dollars for the initial claim and we sent them the invoice for what we paid and they sent us a check for 40 dollars. It's seriously First America.

I notified the plumber with Jerry's Plumbing on Saturday morning. No calls back Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. I called on Monday morning and told them I had water on my closet floor. He did nothing about it. There was water on the corners of the cabinet under my sink in two cabinets. There wasn't water under the sink in the bathroom. He did nothing about it. I had to hire another plumber from JES Plumbing. He took a 4x4 foot piece of drywall off behind the sinks in the bathroom. When the faucet was turned on, water shot out into the closet and soaked my carpet. That plumber repaired the drain pipe to stop the water. I dried the carpet all day and night with fans in the closet. I used chlorox water to kill the mildew. That cost me $450.00. Then I had to call another person to put the drywall back. He cut it to 4x8 foot to get rid of all the mildew and wet drywall. He inserted new drywall in the closet and I dried out the carpet with fans. The carpet has stains on it from the Christmas boxes I had stored there. The boxes were soaked with water. Everything is dry now, but now I have to get someone to finish the drywall with texture and paint. Your company charged me $85.00 for the first plumber who did nothing. The second plumber charged me $450.00 and the person that put in new drywall on the wall backing the bathroom sink was $300.00. Now I have to get someone to texture the wall and paint it. I don't know how much that will be. $85.00 plus $450.00 plus $300.00 and I don't know how much it will be to finish it with texture and paint. Since the first plumber did not call me back on Saturday, my daughter and I missed a Christmas program we were supposed to be at. I would NEVER recommend Jerry's Plumbing to ANYONE!!! I am now out $835.00 plus I still have to hire someone to finish it. Are you going to reimburse me for all of this? Your Home Warranty means nothing!!!!!

We had them check out two appliances. They do everything they can to put a band aid on it so they don't have to replace it. In the end we bypassed them and made the purchase on our own. Our AC unit was going out. We had it looked at professionally ourselves and was told it needed replaced. The warranty had someone look at it and they said it needed replaced. The warranty had another person, a one man company, and said it needed cleaned. That's what they went with. Rather than pay $350 for a cleaning, another service fee for them to come look at it, and then another $500 for the warranty, we just purchased a new furnace ourselves. It wasn't worth the hassle to keep putting a band aid on it.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!I CALLED TO FILE A CLAIM GOT INTO A HEATED DISCUSSION TOLD THEM I WAS GOING TO TALK TO MY ATTORNEY. I GET A EMAIL SAYING I HAD CANCED MY COVERS WHICH I DIDN'T. I CALLED THEM THEY LIED TO ME SAYING I LEFT A VOICE MAIL REQUESTING TO CANCELING MY COVERAGE. I HAVE SINCE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH ARKANSAS STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL

My first call on a monday and i didnt get a reply. Friday I called and found out that you didnt have any plumber in my area. I called again and requested your plumber near me. I called and the closest was 1.5 hours away. I had to process my own repair. it was more complicated, than helpful. I canceled my warrenties with you. your management operators were nice and helpful. It is not their fault you sell warranties without have vendors. I think that is why i canceled last time. I should have noted it. shamfull

I reported air conditioner malfuctions on July 11, 2022, I have had 4 service people out. I am still waiting on repair or replacement. First American is refusing to take the recommendations of service techincians to replace a 22 yr old A/C unit. One of the technicians toke the power switch out and stole it.

The two times that I need it was for immediate help with my first floor air-conditioning and the second time for the second-floor air-conditioning both were issues because they could not find me a service that with address it immediately. 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.

First American sets you up on an annualized payment schedule on your credit card then makes it very difficult to cancel. This results in months of credit card Billings . I had to cancel my credit card to stop their payments. I emailed all the documents they requested which they said they never received and continued billing me. I would rank them as scammers and give them the lowest possible rating.

Slow to fix any claims. I have waited over 30 days for repairs on multiple claims. They will replace only one small component at a time no matter how many failures a single piece of equipment has. If your A/C or heater goes out expect your home to be in the 90s or 40s depending on the season. Calls are not answered. Messages are not returned. Find another home warranty company! Do not sign up for this service!

My first occasion to use my new home warranty has been a huge disappointment.. my microwave stopped working in 11/15 andI immediately reported it and was told the claim would be filed... which it was and in 36 hours Sears sent an email that Sears service department would be ti my home on DECEMBER 29....6 WEEKS AWAY!!! to repair a microwave!! I called FAHW again yesterday to question the time stated and was told Sears would call within 4 hours... 2 days later, I'm still waiting!!!

If I could give zero stars I would. We called to put a request in for for our new homes refrigerator and an agent actually answered the phone SINGING and was very very very obviously under the influence of alcohol/drugs. So extremely disrespectful!!!! And then when we did get "help" they said they wouldn't be able to come to our house until the end of the next week. So we had to go out and buy a brand new refrigerator because we have 3 kids and all of our food was completely ruined. Hands down absolute WORST customer service my husband and I have ever received.

They lied about when emergency service would take placeplace. No return phone calls when indicated they would with status information. Representative refused to let me speak with a supervisor. Don''t think they really have them as all calls were answered in El Salvador or Guatemala. Request to have ac issue turned in as emergency due to severe health issues. Request was turned in as normal. Service took more than 5 days with emergency status. This is unacceptable. After more than 15 years with a company, one does not ex

First America Home Warranty does not have the network to serve the smaller cities. I requested service from a plumber, electrician and locksmith. First America told me they had no one in their network that could provide service. I was told to find my own provider and they would reimburse me less the service fee. I did find my own people for less than the cost of the service fee. If First America can't provide service for the small things, what are the odds they will help with the major things.

Scheduled and appointment 3x the repairman did not show. AHW would not find another company. Forced me to continue setting up appointments with them. No callbacks from that company or AHM which they promised they would do within 48hrs. 96hrs in still no callback.

My dishwasher is not fixed you sent a service man out here who said he cannot get parts. I called customer service and ask for help and was told that you would find someone who can get parts and fix my dishwasher, I have heard nothing. Am I going to get service.

I needed a plumber and reached out to First American. They sent my request to a plumber whose initial extimated time was between 8 and 12. That changed every half hour so I wasted an entire waiting for a company that never showed up.ted time would be between 8 and 12. That time changed every half hour after 12 and at 6 PM

Terrible. It is so difficult to get a real person on the phone even when I ask for an agent over and over again. Its been 5 weeks and my AC is still not fixed. The contractor is ignoring me and wont take my calls, and YOU WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

I have been with heat in my house about a mounth and can not a new unit installed your co. dose not want to keep there promise will not answer the phone or answer voice mail,I am up for renewel in Jan. and it Questionable if I will renew!

Your monthly rate is high--have not received your promotional gift card, after almost 5 months. FAHW has no compassion for its loyal, faithful customers, in my opinion, all FAHW concerns is to make money, and not fair customer treatment relationship.

failed me on 1st claim- sent out a tech that didn't know his job-ended up costing me almost $ 300.00- then turner down my claim on cracked toilet tank-said they only cover normal wear and tear-I thought flushing a toilet was normal wear and tear!!!!!~normal

Terrible service. A recent example is when a 35 year old ceiling fan's light switch broke from inside its housing. The technician stated to me that it wasn't covered as it was classified as not normal wear and tear; additionally, he laughed and said they didn't tell you about their exchange policy?

I am been very satisfied in the past. This time I'm really disappointed. I had an emergency I was assigned a company that's 2 hours out of my area and wasn't open on Saturday. I had to get someone on my own & pay myself. Your customer service person was very disrespectful

My faucet was loose and its bolt was stuck due to rust and they said it’s not covered and I paid for the faucet and labor to replace it. Cost me $400. It should have been covered. Not happy at all. I do not recommend this company.

Simple I called them for a water heater issue and the verdict is it needed routine maintenance. I bought the house 4 years ago, the water heater is 30 years old. Routine maintenance is a grossly ignorant claim on the part of First American. I pay my premiums and the company is negligent. I will not be continuing my policy.

YOU DROPPED THE BALL, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 2 WEEKS FOR A DRYER REPLACEMENT AND NOW IT SEEMS THE ORDER WAS CANCELED BECAUSE DEALER WILL NOT DELIVER TO MESQUITE, NV. NO ONE BOTHERED TO CORRECT THIS OR CALL ME TO TELL ME THE SITUATION....

We are three weeks without air conditioning and we are being told it will be at least 2 more weeks without in the hottest part of the year. They keep trying to fix things instead of replace unit. At this point it has gotten ridiculous and their customer service is terrible.

Had service and when I contacted you said it was covered and you charged me $75 dollars when technician came out said I wasn’t cover. And was charged $165 by company for service call very disappointed with your company

I am three months into the repair of my air conditioner. Called several times and asked for interim motor to be installed. No answer. Just put in another request and cancelled because they are too slow.

I requested that my HVAC contractor fix my AC unit, my request was declined. Took him 10 minutes to fix the minor problem. It's 100 degrees I Memphis and I needed it fixed quickly. My vendor was here same day.

I had an unresponsive Plumber and the agents didn't care. It took a really long time to get it reassigned and when u call the customer service number its difficult to even get to speak with an agent.

Dishwasher still not fixed. Had to contact warranty agency to get information instead of being notified. Still haven't received any updates on parts, or solutions due to lack of parts.

Service requests take too long (one week is too long). Once the service repairman determined it needs replacing, we are still waiting 4 days later with no info or decision from the warranty company.

it has been over a month since the tech came out and I do not have a microwave, tech said the parts to repair were not available that day yet they have drug it out for over a month

They hire cheap labor, who don''t call to schedule appointments, and they do crappy jobs with crappy products. And First American don''t follow up during and leading up to completion of services.
