I like not having to find a repairman and having someone stand behind me if they do bad work-I like the ease of doing requests on line

I thought everything was fine, except, I am having a different issue caused by the repair. I have left messages for the sales rep and the warranty company with no response.

They have done everything possible to avoid fixing a broken water heater. Over one week, and we still have no hot water. They only make more, and more, excuses, and lies. Avoid at all costs! Read their yelp reviews for more horror stories.

Don’t use this company, they won’t fix any thing they should cover. They ‘ll send some one without license and unprofessional to your house and take look it with out fix any thing and tell you that they can’t fix it and ask you to signed the papers and send you the bill

This warranty company is nothing but a third wheel for a potential solution to your problem. Do youself a favor, look up and call you own specific repair person uourself. Leave this so called legal, third wheel, scam artist of a company alone.

They did nothing but delay,delay the replacement of our oven! The service provider came out but couldn't wire it in. I had to call another person to put in the neccessary box and just had him go ahead and install the oven! Now let's see if AHW reimburses me the $200 It cost me!

Could not send a plumber who could fix a toilet. All calls appear to be outsourced and communication is very difficult. Getting someone to resolve a problem is impossible as in my case. I had to use my own plumber and still have not been reimbursed as we agreed. I advise to stay away from this company.

Worst customer service ever. No corporate phone number. You get to speak with someone in the US when signing up and after that never again. Their El Salvador call center SUCKS. their repair vendors hate them. They consistently put their customers last in line to service. Don't just run away from these losers RUN AWAY FAST

Does not do what they advertise. Was unable to provide service on emergency situation. Stated that they refunded one months fee, but there has been no refund. Not an honorable company from my experience. In fact I am looking in to filing suit .

First American Home Warranty has been a nightmare for us. I will NOT recommend them to anyone. The contractors does not respond to request right away. You have to keep calling them. One they assign a contractor, we are at the mercy of the contractor. Save yourself the extra headache and GO FOR ANOTHER WARRANTY COMPANY

Contractor doesn't contact me twice and I wait for them to find another contractor only to be told they won't switch contractors to one that will actually call me back. HORRIBLE customer service. I was actually told not all employee know the correct information when they tell me what is covered. I would never use them again.

Waiting two weeks to get a hot water tank replaced while water is leaking in my basement is unacceptable. Ive had to make several phone calls and they dont care. On top of it i have to pay over $500.00 because codes have changed and it has to be modified.

-5 Stars... Stay away from this company! They will pay 5% of the total cost of whatever breaks in your home. The out of pocket you will pay is astonishingly high.. Run away and don't look back. You're better off not having insurance, than getting into a contract with these thieves!

I have had TERRIBLE customer service with First American Home Warranty company. I have NEVER had a smooth experience with ANY of the FIVE TIMES we have had to call with major problems in our new house. I have NEVER had a contractor call me to schedule an appointment. I have had to beg and plead to get them to do what they are supposed to do.

Mubashar, Thank you for your feedback. We do apologize that this took longer than anticipated. We have a process when evaluating and determining an outcome for our customers, and do our best to keep this process moving forward until resolved. We show that the $850 is related to non-covered costs. We see that at this time you have accepted a cash out for this claim.

I received this home warranty when we purchased our home. Had to pay a service fee for them to confirm the same thing a separate contractor stated when our heat exchange cracked. First they denied it, and then offered to replace it with a lesser model. Would not recommend this company. We switched to another provider that allows us to use any company we choose to complete the work or diagnose the issue.
