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

Hello Ms. Colino, First American apologizes for the inconvenience you experienced with your plumbing claim. At times the Company may not be able to locate a contractor to service your claim, and may request you contact an independent licensed contractor. Our records indicate that is what took place, and a reimbursement has been processed to you. First American considers your claim closed.

Hello Vanda,

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 that on August 24, 2022, contractor Belair Cooling & Heating (Belair Cooling) has recommended to replace the condenser fan motor as it is humming and overloading the compressor. First American authorized to replace the condenser fan motor. You may accept to proceed with the repair or may accept cash payment in lieu of the repair for $464.000. The amount includes the condenser fan motor, labor to install and any applicable sales tax. The cash payment is based on First American’s negotiated rates with its suppliers and are non-negotiable, which may be less than retail as indicated in your warranty contract, Limits of Liability Number Fourteen, which states:

“Contract holder and Company may agree on payment of cash in lieu of repair or replacement. Payment is made based on Company’s negotiated rates with its suppliers, which may be less than retail.”

First American is awaiting your decision on how to proceed and considers this claim pending.

Thank you,

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.

Hello Peter,

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 that on July 19, 2022, you placed a claim for your air conditioning not cooling. First American dispatched independent contractor Mechanical & More LLC (Mechanical & More) to diagnose the failure. On July 20, 2022, First American authorized you up to $200 to hire a licensed independent contractor to diagnose the failure. Consumer was informed to provide with own contractor diagnosis and bid to repair or replace directly to First American for review Once the information is received the information will be reviewed for covered items and authorized accordingly. The consumer may refer to warranty contract under Customer Service Number Three which states:

“Sometimes Company may not be able to locate a contractor to service your claim and may request that you contact an independent licensed contractor. Covered repairs or replacements will be authorized if the work can be completed at an agreed upon rate. If your contractor does not bill Company directly you will be reimbursed the authorized amount upon receipt of a paid invoice”

On July 25, 2022, you requested to cancel the claim as the unit is working fine. As such, First American cancelled your claim.

First American considers this claim closed.

Because I feel that the whole house fan should have been covered. We have replaced items at our own expense rather than make several claims, but I do not feel this claim should have been denied.

Reply from First American Home Warranty

Hi Claudette,

First American would like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of this 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 show you placed a claim for your whole house fan not working properly. First American dispatched Compound Electric to diagnose the issue and they reported that the fan was covered in insulation which caused restrictions on the fan blades and smothered the fan motor, causing it to overheat. This claim was denied due to the failure not being caused by normal wear and tear. Please refer to the Limits of Liability section of your home warranty contract.
