Had it 3 or four 4 and I have no issues with them. The only thing I would changing is being forced to pay the fees online versus paying the people who fix the problem for you.

Had them for many years and I've had good service. For the most part, they set up appointments up, I don't know if they have much control over the vendors. I wish they would listen with I suggest someone good or closed. Customer service is very knowledgeable and easy to get a hold of.

I've had First American Home Warranty from the beginning and I've always gotten responses when I've called. I've used them quite a bit lately and right now I am in the process of using it for some plumbing and I've had to call several times because they're having trouble getting back. It's not perfect, but it works.

The first year I owned my home, they were very good about helping me out and so I renewed it for a the second year. Every time I call, everyone seems very polite and helpful however I don't necessarily feel like my issue gets solved or they have the best people taking care of the issue. I was having plumbing issues and they sent a total of three plumbers out to the house. The first two I found out had no idea what they were talking about and so one of my bathrooms has been in shambles since then until I had a third plumber who knew what he was talking about and we found out that they were all easy fixes so I'm wondering why it took seven months without hot water. I don't feel like they send the most professional contractors out to the house.

I choose them because of their pricing and the services they offer. They have always been very prompt once I put in a request. They took of everything when my air conditioning broke.

So far they've been responsive to my needs. Other companies have not been as responsive. I recently had a problem with my water heater and they weren't able to find a plumber in my area so they helped me select my own plumber. I would be happier if they had more vendors in my area.

My experience with First American is satisfactory, I feel like it saves us month and it is comparable to an appraisal from a general contractor or specialist. The work done on our home has been good but it is hard to find background information about them and where they are coming from. I have had an issue with the customer service, the last two claim took almost a week for someone to get scheduled.

There were some issues with our air conditioner and it took a while to get things going and I didn't feel like the support was there. Once we do get the jobs going, things have been taken care of. I think they need to be a little more careful with the contactors they use, some are really good but some have been really bad.

They've done a pretty good job. I have had a couple of instances where I've used it for the pool and spa. We called First American to come and check it out and they sent a contractor over. The first time I wasn't very happy because the contractor didn't return the call within three days and it was an emergency as far as I was concerned. The hot water heater went out on one but the other two times have been good.

I use it mostly for my air conditioning repair but for some appliances like the water heater and dishwasher. The service is good but sometimes the contractors have no background. I wish they would streamline their relationship with their contractors and make them as reliable as First American Home because some of them aren't reliable.

DEBORAH Conway, AR

I would not have any other home warranty but, First American!!!! They expedite service as quickly as possible. I have lived in my home since 2003 I've been a single mom until 2009 when I remarried after 12 years. Now I am a widow since 2019 My husband and I owned a handyman remodeling company. If something needed to be repaired and he could fix it he would. However, in 2020 my Dishwasher, Hot water heater, Garbage disposal, washing machine, and central heat went out. My central heat was fixed but, everything else was replaced. Needless to say, I am still grieving the loss of my husband and in 2020 I was overwhelmed and found myself just crying out Lord what else can happen? I called First American and they said not to worry they would take care of everything. I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bath brick home in a quiet subdivision. Trust me when I say if you own a home I highly recommend First American home warranty. Yes, you pay for it monthly, and if you don't need anything fixed that's great, however, I would rather pay a monthly 62.50 than have to pay 1000. for a hot water heater plus labor for a plumber etc... Just remember if you have more than 1 refrigerator let them know so, it will be covered as well. Everything I have is covered under my warranty. Right down to ceiling fans and garage door opener.

Laura Raymond Carson, CA

I have to admit that when it came time for us to renew our Home Warranty with First American, I wondered if it would be worth it. We had a small plumbing issue, a toilet that wouldn't stop running, and I couldn't figure out why. First American offers several ways to get in touch to request assistance, so I chose to contact them online. First American responded promptly and reassuringly, double checking first to make sure that it wasn't an emergency (it wasn't) before routing it to an appropriate vendor. The vendor was a little slow to get back to us, but once they did, they were a model of efficiency. My only complaint was that the scheduler/receptionist for the plumber was very abrupt, almost unfriendly, but she was efficient. The plumber who came out was very prompt as well as friendly, and willing to take the time to explain what exactly was wrong and what he was doing to fix it (the fill pump assembly was stuck open and needed replacing). He took the time to ask if there was anything else that needed fixing (not at that moment) since there was time left on the service call. It was a very positive experience, and well worth the money.

I was quite nervous after reading all the negative reviews, but my experience was terrific!! I called FAHW on Thursday, and they set up an appointment for Monday 7am-12pm with a Sears technician. I got a call at 705am on Monday that my technician was on his way. Chris from Sears arrived at 715am. He immediately diagnosed the problem, and had the part on his truck. He was able to fix my washer in about 10 minutes! I was amazed that it was fixed so quickly and easily. I realize that I may just be one of the lucky ones, but I’m hoping FAHW is trying to improve their customer service because of all these bad reviews. Good job Chris and FAHW!

We've had a First American Home Warranty for about 15 years. The quality of the contractors they send has declined rapidly. 3 out of the last 3 contractors tried to upsell. For example, the contractor sent for garage door opener repair, said that the door had to be "balanced" first and quoted an outrageous additional charge. I contacted 2 reputable garage door contractors, who said the door adjustment was fine. I ended up paying out of pocket for one of them to replace the opener with a NEW one for less than the FAHW contractor upcharge. This week, the plumbing contractor they provided replaced a NOT leaking cutoff valve and did not repair the leak in the copper pipe!

V Sewell, Thank you for sharing your review with us. 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 24, 2025, you placed a claim for a leaking pipe. We dispatched an independent contractor AZ Remodeling and Plumbing Inc who reported and repaired a leaking valve. On July 30, 2025, you advised that you were still experiencing an issue with the leaking pipe. As such, we recalled AZ Remodeling and Plumbing Inc who reported a leaking copper elbow joint. On August 4, 2025, we contacted you and were informed that you had the elbow joint repaired with an outside contractor. As such, we refunded the $95.00 service call fee back to the original method of payment.

Dishwasher stopped working 3 months ago. Still not fixed OR replaced. AT Appliances came out 1st time and replaced a pump. It worked for 1 cycle. Lights started flashing. A week later AT Appliances came back out and said there was a leak so they sealed it. Didn't even make it through one wash cycle. A week or so later they send AT Appliances back and they said we didn't wait long enough for the sealant to dry. AT Appliances resealed the leak and told us to wait a couple of days before using the dishwasher. We waited 3 days and yes you guessed it - lights started flashing again and didn't make it through the wash cycle. Called FAHW and re-opened the case. Heard nothing from either FAHW or AT Appliances until I finally told the person at FAHW that I wanted to speak with their manager. They wouldn't! They said they would call AT Appliances while I was on hold. They said it was under manager review at AT Appliances and someone would get back to me with a decision. I finally asked them to get a supervisor. At first he said the same thing until I pressed him to call AT Appliance while I was on hold. He then says that AT Appliance can't fix it and FAHW needs to find a Samsung certified repair person. A couple of weeks pass and the Samsung repair guy comes out and says it needs a part that is no longer made!! So now we are waiting FAHW to try and find the part. Seems like they are trying to do everything they can not to solve this. Spoke with a lady this morning and she said the cash out would only be for the price of the part and not another dishwasher! They said that it will take a few more days to try and exhaust their search for the part. Only AND only if they can't find the part will they even consider replacing the dishwasher. Don't believe the nonsense ads that say they will fix or replace - hasn't been our experience so far! On top of that another person from FAHW calls to ask if I want to pay over $1,100 to renew for another year!! I started laughing! Got to be joking right? For that price I could have bought a new dishwasher had it installed and been working 3 months ago and have money left over. Can you imagine if this was a hot water heater and we had been without hot water for 3 months!! Awful service, little to no communication, no sense of urgency and major run around! If there was a way to give a "-" (minus) star rating I would! Buyer beware!!
