As a property manager I’ve had my homes covered with American. For several years repairs where completed timely….not so much anymore. I waited 6 weeks for a microwave to be repaired. Now I’m waiting 7 weeks for a n Air Conditioning unit, I would like to switch to another warranty company BUT WHO ???

We filed a claim for our AC failing to work. It took 2 days before I even received confirmation that they were working on the claim. I pay extra for the AC coverage. That should be a 24 hour coverage.

During a dangerous heat wave, they have delayed responding by three days, and are now claiming that it will take another five days to repair our A/C. The service technician explained that the problem is the warranty company (FAHW), not the parts or service. Do not use them, they will put you and your family at risk.

It is the worst company when it comes to home warranty.I have been waiting for two weeks now trying to get my AC done and all I get is the run around. They like to take your money for a service charge but don’t like to get the job done.

Very disappointed 😞 After renewing policy I made claim on hot water tank. A simple hot water tank replacement ended up costing me a lot of money. I ended up paying $425 out of pocket.

Terrible service and poor communication. Still waiting after 2 months to have our dishwasher replace and oven fixed, and we still don't have firm dates. Many, many calls to customer service have not resolved the problem. We will never use this company again

Read The small print before you renew your warranty with First American Home Warranty. I was told that appliances were covered under my plan, as it turns out your MAJOR appliances are NOT covered, such as your refrigerator, washer, dryer, but your microwave is.

They're a fraud. They just hook you up with a technician. Which we can easily find on google or any local please. They charge you $800+ and then when you need them, the technician would come to the property and give you a $1000+ estimate and state that the warranty will NOT cover it... WTF is the warranty for then. its a fraud people!!!

Terrible company! We have been without AC for three weeks now. We make 6 calls a day and we get told they are waiting on a report. Additionally, when you do speak to someone they are not American and cannot be understood. They say they will call you back but they never do. Do not waste your money on this company.

Would not recommend this company. I had them for 2 different homes. They make every excuse to not cover a repair. First was a furnace, they said it was old so they'll only cover half the cost. Second was plumbing. Said was not normal wear and tear. To me it's a waste of money to have this warranty company .

TE-Gabriel C allowed a company that took over a month and a half to fix a dish washer that is still not fixed!!! He was rude and would not even send the $74 part necessary to fix the dishwasher. I would have given First American 5 stars until I saw and heard with my own ears how little they care about customers been with them for years.

Consumer beware! We went 10 days taking cold showers and then ended up paying $550 out of pocket plus the $75 service fee. Don’t be fooled thinking you’re lessening your risk of a big unexpected expense. Wasted our money for six years. Stick with your local contractors. These insurance companies are a scam.

This company should be avoided - as they don't care about their Customers. The vendors they use are not experienced in their work. They send HVAC / Heating and Cooling company to fix my dishwasher - so the job does not get done right- and I have to pay $75 plus the hefty premium. STAY AWAY FROM them.

I used to have this. I cancelled it because I had a leak under my sink and they never sent anyone. Then they charged me some fees for canceling. They didn't even care that my kitchen floor was ruined. This is a scam. They just want your money. You are better off having a savings account just for home repairs.

I put in a request for my air conditioning to be repaired. It is 100 degrees today and they are telling me I can get it repaired until tomorrow. They are terrible. I will call a service tec and cancel my service. Their option is to give me 150.00 towards a 500.00 portable air conditioner. Who can wait 48 hours in 100 degree weather.

Working with this company has been the worst experience I’ve ever had. All the previous complaints are exactly what I have gone through as well; non-communication, sending inexperienced technicians, poor customer service and delaying of jobs.

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Best they could offer when air-con went out for over a week in the AZ Summer was $50 for a fan. The company are aware of heart issues that the tenant has but refused to budge on their fan offer. When asked for a cheap hotel they flatly refused. Don’t do it, this company is a rip-off.
