Recent experience with claim (Joshua K) was excellent. Handled our claim quickly and with a positive outcome. Dropped a star due to inability to add additional coverage for spa.

Hooks New Braunfels, TX

Did not repair my refrigerator, I bought the refrigerator from the previous owner, when I had a problem the repair company could not get to me fast enough so I bought a new refrigerator and moved the broken one out of the kitchen, I have never heard back from first American. The broken refrigerator was the one that I bought with the house not a secondary refrigerator first American should repair it but they did not.

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.

When I called for a plumbing issue in 2 sinks, they sent someone out. Plumber said they don't cover this problem. I need to replace the faucets in 2 sinks...and some additional work. Since they don't want to (or won't) fix this I have to call an outside plumber.

I am thinking about canceling First American because you don't cover toilet problems. Ci had to replace the wax rings and the flange because it was rusted because of age and it cost me $300.00. I thought the warranty was to help replace things that wear out.

Ana, Thank you for your review. While our plans may not cover everything you need, we do offer additional coverage which allows you to tailor a plan more to your needs. On renewal, our team can review your coverage to ensure you have what meets your needs.

The time it takes to get the necessary service. Their refusal to take the word of their contractors as to the work required to correct a problem. The inability of some of their contractors to accomplish installation of a product requiring the homeowner to hire another contractor to finish the installation at the homeowners expense.

Slow to respond, takes a long time to answer calls, when you get disconnected they do not call you back. The service company and home warranty are not on the same page. At this moment 3 stars are being generous. But they are very fast and good at taking the monthly payment from the bank!

Patrick Perl San Luis Obispo, CA

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.

Hello Patrick,

First American apologizes for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of your claims 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. At this time, our records indicate you have been pre-authorized up to $275.00 to hire your own independent contractor to patch up the drywall access created by the plumber. Once you have located your own contractor, please provide with their estimate/invoice for review.

Please be advised, First American considers your claim pending.
Thank you

The company they have a contract with for ac and heating, Air Force 1 is horrible! The techs display 0 knowledge, sympathy, or empathy. I had to go to an outside company for repairs. They removed a damaged part, ordered a new part then took 4 unsuccessful visits and I still had to get an outside company to repair my system. Air Force one had the gall to try to sell a product I did not need prior to the repair! Other contractors under them 5 stars then they leave first america. I wonder why..

They are very good at responding to my request, however, when a unit must be replaced, their replacement is usually inferior to the unit being replaced and so they get away with paying out a fraction of the actual equivalent replacement cost.

Hello Robert. Thank you for your review. We determine the replacement based on similar features, efficiency and capacity to your current unit and cash payments are based upon our negotiated rates with our suppliers which may be less than retail. You may refer to your contract under Limits of Liability for additional information.

I have had 2 service requests made years apart and both times they claimed to not have gotten the request even though the deductible was paid initially. It had to be resubmitted which added days onto the request. Both times the service appointments were made for a random day and time so I had to take time off of work. If they would have consulted about the appointment time I would have scheduled it for my day off which is during the week.

My current repair call is already five months without receiving the new microwave from GE and to have them install it. Although First American is trying hard, and the manufacturer is causing the delay, I feel First American should be more aggressive in resolving this replacement microwave service call in a short period of time.

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.
