They came once and helped us. I was happy and they have reasonable prices. They help with everything from the drier to the dishwasher. They are really helpful. I like the people who are working with them because they fixed it and sent another one without taking any money.

I needed to use it for a dishwasher for my air conditioning and for my furnace. First American was very good and contacted someone immediately. Some of the people that First Ameriance contracts with are less than disrable and their ability to take care of your case and they aren't able to come to your home. The furnace wasn't working and it was in January. I had to wait a week. I spent a day working going back and forth between the company and First American to get someone to come out.

Ronald Beal Austin, TX

my central air conditioner had a freon leak and needed several pounds of R-12, which is no longer made. The A/C company charged up the system, but did not find the leak. Technician said that probably the inside coil, but the warranty would not pay for a permanent fix and it would be so expensive that i should replace the entire system. this is not a warranty.

3 years ago

Reply from First American Home Warranty

Hello Ronald. 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 August 20, 2022, for your air conditioning not working properly. First American dispatched EMS HVAC LLC, who reported adjusting the pressures on your air conditioning system, completing repairs the same day. The contractor’s work is warrantied for 30-days. You can refer to your home warranty contract under Customer Service number two, which states:

“Contract holder pays the $85 service call fee for each separate trade call. Trade call means each visit by an approved Contractor, unless multiple visits are required to remedy the same problem. Persons dispatched for trade calls are independent contractors, not agents or employees of the Company. Company warrants Contractor’s work for 30 days. If the Item fails outside this time period, an additional service call fee will be charged. Failure to pay the service call fee may delay processing of future claims.”

If you are experiencing a failure a new claim would need to be placed, you can call us or place it online.

First American considers this claim closed.

I appreciate having a one-stop shop for all things that can go wrong; and having a set amount to pay.I do think that the annual fee is steep - especially since it cannot be split over the year (this year being very bad with my insurance dropping me).And I live in a place where it is difficult to find repair folks, so I have had to actually spend my own time finding people - and then would have to go through somehoops to get their services covered. I think If I'm doing the work, I should at least have the service charge refunded.

So disappointed in a company I had for 10 years, and only use it maybe 3 times, it went from 35 to 60, in that time period, and 75 to 89 on a service call, loyalty doesn't count here, the first contractor, talk to me like I had a tail, disrespectful, and should have seen the contract they wanted me to sign, you need to check your people, you hire for your customers, oh it's what best for your company.

Hello Terry,
We apologize 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. Our records indicate you placed a claim on August 5, 2022, for your air conditioner not cooling. We dispatched contractor, Diversified Mechanical Service, who reported the failure was caused by interval valves, compressor puncture and defective related conductors. Diversified Mechanical Service recommended replacing the compressor with non-covered costs to complete repairs in the amount of $355.00, which included the cost of refrigerant circuit clean out, induce high pressure nitrogen, and complete vacuum. You accepted the non-covered costs, and we ordered the replacement compressor on August 29, 2022.
On September 7, 2022, we confirmed that an appointment to complete the replacement of your compressor has been scheduled for September 14, 2022. We consider this claim pending. Thank you.

Generally good but often problems with assigned contractors and with the two major issues I've had, I had to replace items at my own expense, while First American did pay a portion, it was not a large portion. Seems there is always a loophole that prevents them from replacing anything (AC/HVAC or Water Heater) when it goes down.

I feel that the coverages are too vague and too many exclusions result in my 3 star rating. I had an issue as soon as I moved in where I saw water leaking from the pipe but because it was located right outside of my backyard, I was told it was not a covered issue. Since I had no other claim experience, I am not sure if there will be numerous exclusions that would deem my warranty useless.
