I have had dealings with First American Warranty several times in the last ten years..I'm am highly disappointed in their customer service and claim settlement...their service reps are confused and sometimes difficult to understand..three sets of broken administrative promises were made to me for claim settlement and each time they where bungled! When I asked to speak to a supervisor to outline my customer experience, she brushed me off in a disinterred manner, then talked over me and hung up on my call..very rude and unprofessional!

Terrible customer service. Does not get back to you with regards to questions. Gives you the run around on repairs and was unable to get contractors out to fix my water heater or air conditioner. My furnance went out and they sent someone to repair or replace. It's a replacement but now they want 882 for modifications. Cool... But what modifications and why? No answer. I got my answers though through American Shield... The same day I asked. First American is still avoiding and its been 2 weeks.

Have been waiting 6 weeks for a microwave repair under Home Warranty. Multiple excuses that part can not be located. Filed repair request 6 weeks ago for an inoperable microwave. The repairman came said he had to order part returned with part Sept 28 microwave would not work said he needed a different part. Still waiting for that different part. Calls to the contractor and First American have gone unanswered. Calls to customer service are never returned or endless wait and hang up. Worst Home owners warranty I have ever had,

Make sure you read the fine print on the agreement. If they had a zero or less would reflect my actual rating of the company. Most new homes have tile and grout in the bathrooms and kitchen, but more specifically the bathroom is where you will have a leak... A major leak. If you are in the majority like I am and have a newly remodeled or upgraded new home then you more than likely have tile in the bathroom...THEY WILL NOT COVER ANY LEAKS IN THE BATHROOM... if they have to work around tile.

I had an issue with my refrigerator I called a technician came out. The technician told First American my kitchen floor wasn't level which is why the it was not working and based on the technician say they refused to do the repair. I questioned what the floor level had to do with it they would not answer. I cancelled the contract immediately. I had been with them 3 years prior to that. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

I thought AHS was bad, but First America is 100% worse. I had 2 calls in one years, plumbing the first, the repairman never shows up, and he entered as a completed, took me 2 months to get the 2nd repairman to come in. The refrigerator stopped working after 10 years, they sent a repair person that tells me is a missing part, OK, who took the part? the repairman???

I have been waiting for our AC units to be fixed properly since May the 15th. We are in NC and it’s been 85-90 here. They have sent the same company out twice and both times they leave without the issue being resolved so here we sit in a hot house for 5+ weeks! My electric bill went from $120 to $350 since the AC is running nonstop. What a joke!!!!!

This company is in serious need for knowledgeable people. Every time you contact them each person acts as if they can't locate your file, on a few occasions they've contact a vendor who does exist anymore. I would not recommend this company to anyone who owns a home. We have been dealing with a HVAC problem since January and it is now June, and they still are giving us the run around with the same vendor.

They are very unprofessional they do not protect single women. They dispatched contract workers to the homes of single women after work hours. They discriminate on basis of mannerisms discriminating against the disabled. They make fun of the costumers laugh and act childish and play discipline games. They had me go without air conditioning for approximately three weeks due to their own wrong choices. Contracting companies with only one star and acting like everything is the other companies fault. When had I paid out of pocket I would have had air in only a few days.

First American has horrible customer service and they discriminate against the disabled. They are cold hearted and sinful. They compromise my health and well-being for a few laughs and jokes they are childish and uncompromising, I was without air conditioning for close to a month which was covered under my warranty. They sent a dispatch to my home after hours. When I leave this site I am going to report them to the BBB.

Sally Scott North Myrtle Beach, SC

We placed a claim for our A/C unit on a Thursday. The contractor that was assigned could not even put us on his schedule until Wednesday of the next week. As this was the middle of the summer, we had to call someone else and they came the next day. I placed a call this week on Wednesday. They assigned a contractor that is over 2 hours away. When I tried to call them, the number was disconnected. I contacted First American about it and was told that the company knew the coverage area and would be in contact with me. They could care less. I will be changing warranty companies asap.

If I could give this company less than one star I would. We’ve been without electricity now for a week and they haven’t been able to even get anyone out here. They’ve “contracted” two different companies with people that never bothered to show up. My husband took off work multiple times as well as myself to get an electrician here and we still haven’t seen anyone. We will definitely not be renewing our home warranty with these people. They are the absolute worst.

This warranty company is under new management and this new management is in the habit of avoiding to fix the repairs. When they see that the claim involves a expensive repairs, their representatives show the aptitude "If you are not happy, you can leave". Really bad experience. Its better to not have a warranty that to have warranty of such crooks.

Lately, the service providers they have been sending out have provided subpar service. Small issues sometimes require the service company to return multiple times due to their initial repair being completed incorrectly. While the coverage is good, their vendors are not. They are also very slow to schedule repairs. They really need to look at the repair companies they choose to work with. If there were better options I would absolutely sign somewhere else

This was the Home Warranty Company when I bought my home. Trying to call in for a service request was a nightmare. They used an Indian Call Center and the folks were all but impossible to understand. They only covered one thing, a broken ceiling fan.

The company has it's good qualities and its bad ones. They are not fast to send people out and have an "approved list" of parts and places to get parts. This means your system is down if the part takes a while to ship. Even if you can go get it at the store right now, they won't allow it. Customer service is better than others though.

I had this company when I first bought my house. Never had a claim. 2 years onto the program protection my pool pump went. No problem I thought. I paid all my premiums on time. I have the extra pool protection I should be covered right? Well I was covered BUT they had to send there service guy who was backed up for a week. I asked was there anyone else they could send. The answer was no. Dead of summer and no pump. How green do you think my pool turned? The service guy came out almost a week later. Authorized the pump but told me he couldn't get a pump for 6 weeks! By the time I got my pump I had to drain the pool, replace the filter and eventually replaster the pool because of the damage done by the algae. This company cost me thousands because they only used one pool service company out of 50 or so. Was it covered? Yes. Was it worth it ? No.
