Great service at a great price. I recommend this company to anyone buying a home in America. More than likely, someone used duct tape to fix something.

Betsy Smith Canyon, TX

We have called at least 6 times about our toilet stopping up. They come out and clear it and say it's fixed, but it obviously isn't fixed. It only works for a few days then it stops back up. Two of the plumbers they sent have said we need a new high volume toilet, but they don't get us one. I feel like we have been misled. You are not replacing the toilet that clearly is not fixed.

Company they hired for pool issues is not knowledgeable, provides different reasons for problem which results in claim denial and removal from coverage and has very poor reviews as a company. Appears as though this company was hired for the sole purpose to prevent FAHW to cover a claim.

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!!

3 years ago

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.

Hello Calvin,

We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of your 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 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.

I was very happy that FAHW replaced my refrig but when the new refrig wasn't cooling, I had to spend over an hour waiting for a rep. Then, she said it was a Mfg issue and I needed to call them directly. She said she'd send me the phone number via email. I never received the email from her. Do I need to call again and wait another hour??

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.

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.
