STAY FAR AWAY! Absolutely the worst! We bought the premium plan. We never filed one claim in two years. Our water heater went after 18 years, they made us wait 2 weeks for their service worker to come out. 2 weeks of no hot water. After that, they denied to fix, pay or replaced. No reason given! Also, you would stay on the phone over an hour to get through. SAVE your money and aggravation and go with another company.

Hello Joey DeSana,
First American 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 14, 2023, you placed a claim for your water heater not heating water. We dispatched independent contractor AZ Remodeling and Plumbing Inc reported the water heater was leaking and unrepairable. Additionally, AZ Remodeling and Plumbing Inc advised that the water heater did not have double wall venting and excessive heat caused the leak, which is not covered. As such, your claim was denied. You may refer to your warranty contract section, Limits of Liability, Number Three.
On July 19, 2023, you provided First American with an outside contractor’s diagnosis for review to dispute the denial. After further review, First American attempted to dispatch another contractor to diagnose the failure but was unsuccessful.
On August 7, 2023, First American authorized you to locate and hire a licensed and bonded contractor as First American was unable to locate a contractor to complete the necessary repairs in a timely manner for you. You may refer to the home warranty contract, under Customer Service, Number Three. On this same day through August 14, 2023, we attempted to contact your outside contractor to review their diagnostic but were unsuccessful.
On September 5, 2023, First American contacted you and were advised that the work had been completed with your outside contractor. First American requests you provide a copy of your contractor’s diagnosis and invoice for review of coverage. First American considers this claim pending.

HVAC issue, am still waiting to have resolved. Initially had a local HVAC service tech evaluate and said it would be fixed in a few days since it was the weekend. I've been waiting over a week now since they had to have their service person verify. It's been hot here in Florida and they don't seem to care, either their service personnel or them as a company. It's terrible how they treat their customers, make you suffer, suspect they want you to fix it yourself out of frustration. Terrible company.

Hello John, we apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of your claim. Our records indicate you placed a claim on June 9, 2023, for your air conditioning system not working properly. We dispatched independent contractor, Bring The Cool, who reported to find a leak in the evaporative coil; the technician recommended replacing the evaporative coil to repair the failure. On June 22, 2023, Bring The Cool advised us that additional information would be reported to us regarding the recommended repairs to your system to be reviewed for coverage. On this same day, we contacted you directly to advise of this update. Further, we authorized $150.00 towards temporary relief for the purchase of either a portable air conditioner or evaporative cooler in the interim while your claim is being resolved. We will be continuing to monitor the status of your claim until repairs are successfully completed. As such, we consider this claim pending.

My recent experience was one of the worst I've had with any company. It took over 10-days to get a simple fix on my refrigerator costing me hundred's in ruined food. The customer service team continually fabricated dates and facts and never returned a phone call. If I had not reached out on a daily basis, I would still be awaiting repairs. You should be ashamed of yourselves...

If you are looking for a warranty company stay away from First American. Every time I have a problem the contractor comes to my home and reports the problems with the failed item need parts that are not covered or they say it’s now code and you have to pay extra to have the item fixed. I have had to call my own contractor and pay to fix the real problem. I also pay extra for complete coverage by paying for the first class upgrade. Do not do business with this company.

A spring broke on my garage bar and First American is refusing to cover the cost. With the spring breaking it locked up and does not allow the garage door to open. First American said they were denying my claim because the door will not open, Of course it will not open because the spring that is covered in my plan no longer works. This company is a scam.

Brian, Thank you for your review. According to our records, you placed a claim on November 21, 2022, for your garage door opener not functioning properly. We dispatched an independent contractor, #1 Garage Door, who reported the door is off track and out of balance, the cables and drums are damaged, and the rollers and bearings are locked up. As a result, the motor is not opening the door. Due to non-covered items under your contract, your claim was denied. Please refer to the Garage Door Opener section of your contract, which lists doors and adjustments as not covered.

Hello John. First American apologizes for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of your claim. According to our records, you placed a claim on November 4, 2022, for your water heater not working properly. First American dispatched Jefferson Plumbing, LLC, who reported the wiring and elements burnt and recommended replacement. A replacement was ordered with an estimated installation date for November 23, 2022.

On November 18, 2022, you informed First American you had already replaced the water heater and requested a cash payment in lieu of water heater replacement. Therefore, First American processed a cash payment in lieu of water heater replacement in the amount of $859.62 on November 23, 2022. Please allow 7-10day for the processing and mailing of your check and please refer to your home warranty contract under limits of liability number fourteen.

First American considers this claim closed.

First American Home will do anything they can to make sure they don't help you. The only contractor available currently has 1-star reviews on BBB, Yelp and other trusted sites. When we brought in a third-party contractor to review the AC unit they recommended a replacement for the safety of the home. First American said they will not replace until it is inoperable even though there are major issues. Will definitely be looking into other companies once my contract is up in one month.

I filed a claim to repair my built-in microwave on 7/27/2022. The problem has not been taken care of as of this date (9/8/2022). The first assigned technician's assessment was the unit couldn't be repaired &needed to be replaced. FAHW finally assigned a 2nd technician who was suppose to inspect and give a 2nd opinion today(9/8/22). The appointment was postponed again to 9/14/22. Very difficult (holding time is more t 30 min or longer) to get to talk with a real person at FAHW. Phone recording said to call me back by the next business day but never did.

Hello Grace,

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 contractor Nana Technologies recommended replacing the safety thermostat switch and fuse to your microwave. First American authorized the repair. Nana Technologies reported to First American they attempted to schedule an appointment to complete the repair without success. On August 26, 2022, First American dispatched independent contractor Peninsula Appliance Repair LLC (Peninsula Appliance), who scheduled an appointment with you for September 23, 2022. Peninsula Appliance will submit their diagnosis and recommendation to First American for review. First American will contact you directly with an update regarding your claim.

First American considers this claim pending.

Sarah Spring Branch, TX

This is the most incompetent warranty company. Every time I’ve had an issue it takes at least a week for a contractor to come, and there have been multiple times that they’ve scheduled the wrong contractors. It’s not uncommon for me to wait almost a month to get my AC repaired in the Texas heat. This has already happened to me 4 times. You’ll have to call to get ANY movement on a request. Usually I have to call them at least 6 times a week to get anything done, and each call takes at least an hour since their representatives are always busy. Save yourself a waste of time and money.

After a year and multiple service calls, my AC still hasn’t been fixed. Tired of dealing with them - it’s not worth it. Save your money instead and don’t purchase this warranty. At the end of the day, it’s better to spend money on a competent contractor than paying First American $600/year + $85/service call and getting nothing fixed - they basically steal your money.

This is the worst company I have ever had to deal with. When you call them after an hr of being on hold they are extremely rude. My wife called in the winter to get our ac fixed before summer hit, they sent a "tech" out in the winter just for the guy to say its to cold to diagnose your ac call back during the summer. The tech then lied and put in the paperwork that he cleaned my coils. I tried to dispute this but this trashy company is intent on charging me 75 bucks for this. They are scum.
