My refrigerator was leaking water and three repair men came out and none of the three could fix it. When my sister called the office and explained the problem the next thing was a new refrigerator. I have been happy every since. Its a good company and I do appreciate them.

They take care of business and get you a company to fix your problem but it is so slow sometimes.. takes week or better.. I had a problem with my oven two years ago and it had to be replaced.. took two months or month and a half to get it resolved.. brought wrong oven first time then had to wait for next one etc on and on but finally got the right one and it is great..

I started with an insurance company to alleviate the stress of finding someone to do work if needed. Always there is a wait sometimes long wait for company to come. They respond immediately but one company even told me for a fee they would come sooner. When they come they usually don't have the part and have to come back. I have had one tell me he would have to tear out a brick wall to stop my leak. Y'all didn't cover brick repair. I have had some one repair an air conditioner that blew hot air afterwards because they forgot to close the side. Another time they put in a drain upside down and later it caused the machine not to work. I had a leaking ice maker fixed and after warranty up it broke but that may just be coincidence even tho same problem. I am really wondering if I would had same hassle with out paying a yearly fee.

Reply from First American Home Warranty

Martha, Thank you for taking a moment to share your review with us. Sometimes contractors may have to place an order for a part and then return to complete the service. Regarding modifications such as brick repair, this may fall under non-covered costs, per your contract. Our team would be happy to go over any questions or concerns that you may have with your claims. We hope the next time you may need us, you will give us another chance to meet your needs.

There's always room for improvement. I was pleased with Accord Appliance service but waited a long time on hold trying to schedule an appointment as well as a follow-up appointment.

When I did start to open my first file, they were going to find me plumber within an allotted amount of time. When that time came, I got an email saying I needed to find my own contractor. I had plumbing backing up, and it was an emergency. I am giving 4 stars because they refunded my deposit because I ended up canceling the order because it was cheaper than I had feared. They were very helpful for that resolution.

Hasn't let us down until this time. The contractors have always been really good. But this time its been 1 month since our initial call. Contractor took 2 weeks to get out here, then two more weeks to get the part. We then needed to move the time for our appointment day because I got a COVID vaccine appointment and now they have moved it another week.

This is my first experience with a home warranty company and while I trust that American Home Warranty is one of the better companies, I have been somewhat disappointed with the communication from the company on repair claims. The first dispatch of repair technicians was prompt, but getting a tech back to complete the work took several calls and turns out that despite having essentially full coverage, a good chunk of the work required turned out to not be covered, but it took me calling and following up on numerous occasions to learn about this. I am now still waiting for them to schedule a tech to complete the work, and I anticipate having to have to follow up again as opposed to them reaching out to me with updates, which was just not how I anticipated this process would go. All in all, I think it's worth having the coverage for the investment, but I do wish that the process was more user-friendly, communicative, and transparent.

Hello Jenna,
First American apologizes 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. At this time, our records indicate that One Stop Plumbing & Rooter has completed the repairs to the drain line in the garage. We have dispatched contractor Drywall Masters to repair the drywall accessed by the plumbing company.
Drywall Masters will contact you directly to schedule a mutually convenient appointment to complete repairs.

Please be advised, First American considers your claim pending.

From the time the work order was placed the vendor worked in a timely, professional manner. The work was completed in a timely manner even though the water heater had to be replaced at a reasonable cost. The vendor was communicating with me as needed. The copay and monthly premium are competitive and well within Industry standards.

I was having a furnace replaced and the contractor they used wouldn't accept a credit card. I spoke with the First American and nothing happened. I was offered a buyout for about a 3rd of the cost which wasn't worth the buyout. Then after replacement I noticed the duct work was now blocking my safety switch and the water heater pipes which prevented the plumber from being able to complete his job. I called the HVAC contractor back and he advised the plumber to “remove the screws from the duct work and position them where he needed them.” WTH that wasn't the plumbers job and the ducts are installed messy. When I called to report the contractor not accepting credit cards one of the representatives disconnected my call and never called back.

Because they are good, but they need to work on their communication with each other and with their clients. I say this because, a team member forgot to schedule our appointment, until I called to follow up with them on it. Also, we were given a 12:00-5:00 window, and next thing I know, the technician was ringing my doorbell at 10:30 in the morning.
