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.

I received a very fast response to my claim. My central air died during one of the hottest summers on record and a new unit was installed in no time at all.

Wanted to get my microwave looked at and was convinced that there was no reason until it completely broke down although it’s making bad noises since we pretty much moved in last year.

I live in a more rural area. It is not easy to get repair vendors out to my area to do the necessary repair. First American Home Warranty has improved greatly in this area and the quality of the vendors to choose from.

Some of the contractors did a good job however some of them did not and I had to call back to get work done correctly. One company had to come out 3 times to do a repair on my dryer.not only did they scratch up my floor, after they left the next day the same problem came back..

Stephen Boviall Kennesaw, GA

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.

When I first bought the house I had two minor fixes. My next renewal the premium was raised. I haven't had an issue since. I have not had premium decrease in 3 years. I really don't think that is fair with a used home purchase to have this held against me.

Hi Melanie. We are not holding anything against you. We are only here to help. The prices for contract coverage change throughout the years as we go through transitions. However, we certainly do our best to keep costs as low as possible.

I have paid insurance premiums to American Home Warranty, totaling well over $4,000 but have never had to file a claim. Until something happens, I will have no basis to rate them on. They’re good at collecting payments, if I file a claim, we’ll see how good they are then.

They need to be more open about the coverage. We had a plumbing issues and they sent a plumber asap, great! But they don't tell you that if it's outside the foundation it's not covered!

Well they seem like a good company when you have a problem. It is easy to fill out a form either over the phone or in the website, however there is generally no follow through and they still haven't fixed my heater since probably January at this point. Oh by the way I love in the north east. I hope they fix it by next winter at this rate. They used to be better last year they fixed a few issues really quick. Not sure what changed but hopefully they can get there stuff together.

Coverage is good and bad sometimes. We had a 17 year old heat and air unit that First American would not cover as they said that it quite because of abuse not age or normal wear and tear. I think 17 years is old for a unit!
