It was recommended when I bought my home 20 years ago and I hve kept the policy since then My only complaint was years ago, their contrctors were quick and speedy...now it may be weeks before they get to it and often they cancel without notice.....really annoying after you have taken the day off and waited for them to show...then to be cancelded and you have to start over with another provider..... It definitely can not be counted on in the casae of an emergency

I called today to find out status on recommendation of getting the asbestos removed and our ductwork replaced from our service tech and could not get to speak to a live customer service representative. Very frustrating to say the least.

I have been trying to get my account set up online and it keeps telling me my email is already on file. I have called numerous times to get it fixed and each time the call gets expedited and no one ever calls me back. I will not be renewing. This has been going on for over 2 years when I first signed up

Rebecca Abbit

My A/C went out on a Thursday in July. The first appointment offered by the vendor was on the following Tuesday, but then said they could come out on Sunday if I paid an extra $125 above the warranty's service fee. According to my neighbors I could have had another company come out the same day in an emergency, so it didn't seem like having a home warranty really helped that much. I was still out $225 for the service which ended up being a simple fix.

Our garage door started going up and down on its own and company came out that day and fixed it. One of our heating units went out on a Saturday and no appts available until following Friday when we were out of town for a planned trip. We returned on next Monday and they called with an appt and came out to relight pilot light and remove some residue fromthermalcouple. Tuesday the heating unit went out again. It was assigned to a different company. I called them and was told by the person answering he would call me back. He never did so I called him back. He said could send someone next day as his person had broke his thumb. No one showed for the appt so I did a resubmission. And it was assigned to yet another company who scheduled me a a workin appt today which is pending.

I started with an insurance company to alleviate the stress of finding someone to do work if needed. Always there is a wait sometimes long wait for company to come. They respond immediately but one company even told me for a fee they would come sooner. When they come they usually don't have the part and have to come back. I have had one tell me he would have to tear out a brick wall to stop my leak. Y'all didn't cover brick repair. I have had some one repair an air conditioner that blew hot air afterwards because they forgot to close the side. Another time they put in a drain upside down and later it caused the machine not to work. I had a leaking ice maker fixed and after warranty up it broke but that may just be coincidence even tho same problem. I am really wondering if I would had same hassle with out paying a yearly fee.

Reply from First American Home Warranty

Martha, Thank you for taking a moment to share your review with us. Sometimes contractors may have to place an order for a part and then return to complete the service. Regarding modifications such as brick repair, this may fall under non-covered costs, per your contract. Our team would be happy to go over any questions or concerns that you may have with your claims. We hope the next time you may need us, you will give us another chance to meet your needs.

This is my first experience with a home warranty company and while I trust that American Home Warranty is one of the better companies, I have been somewhat disappointed with the communication from the company on repair claims. The first dispatch of repair technicians was prompt, but getting a tech back to complete the work took several calls and turns out that despite having essentially full coverage, a good chunk of the work required turned out to not be covered, but it took me calling and following up on numerous occasions to learn about this. I am now still waiting for them to schedule a tech to complete the work, and I anticipate having to have to follow up again as opposed to them reaching out to me with updates, which was just not how I anticipated this process would go. All in all, I think it's worth having the coverage for the investment, but I do wish that the process was more user-friendly, communicative, and transparent.

I was having a furnace replaced and the contractor they used wouldn't accept a credit card. I spoke with the First American and nothing happened. I was offered a buyout for about a 3rd of the cost which wasn't worth the buyout. Then after replacement I noticed the duct work was now blocking my safety switch and the water heater pipes which prevented the plumber from being able to complete his job. I called the HVAC contractor back and he advised the plumber to “remove the screws from the duct work and position them where he needed them.” WTH that wasn't the plumbers job and the ducts are installed messy. When I called to report the contractor not accepting credit cards one of the representatives disconnected my call and never called back.

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.

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.

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.

My home is 2,000+ sq ft. One in master and one in Living room. Not doing any cooling at all. 80-90* in the house in the afternoon till lat in the evening. I've begged to get the Unit installed.

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.

First experience was great. Second experience was not completed. The plumber who came gave false information to First American. The plumber wanted to charge me $399 more to complete it. I called First American and explained what happened and that what the plumber said was not what happened. I got a letter from First American saying the warranty did not cover the service needed. So, my plumbing issue has still not been resolved.

I have been a client of First American Home Warranty for several years up until now I would have rated them 5 star. I was getting a washing machine serviced and I waited 4 weeks then found out the current Contractor could not complete the job. They sent me a new Contractor's information for them to repair my washer. I feel like FAHW should check to make sure their clients are being serviced within a reasonable time. I had an extremely hard time finding someone to help. So my rating is based on my last experience.

I think it is very unfair that when a client moves to a new home their contract with FAHW is cancelled and funds are not credited to the new contract at the new home. I was told you charge for the cancellation and all service calls are deducted from the remaining funds in the contract. I won't recommend your company as you are not really saving anyone anything!

Even though we're in the middle of a Pandemic, it took longer than it normally would; started process in August and resolution not reached until end of October with a "Cash Out" amount lower than what I feel should have been given. I hope under normal circumstances it wouldn't take that long, this was my first experience using my warranty. My washer is not an appliance someone should have to wait that long to get it taken care of.

It was a hassle trying to get my washer and dryer taken care of. The vendors they use are NOT competent. Then when a replacement was needed and we picked a less expensive model, they wouldn't honor that and gave us way less than the washer was worth. We didn't want the same one, clearly it wasn't a good machine. The people were nice, but my dryer still sings!

I had an experience with them recently where their provider wouldn't even try to tackle the problem. It was the second job that company had messed up with us. So I got someone else and had to pay out of my own pocket. When I wrote negative comments on the follow up service they called me and refunded me the money I had spent. We had another situation when they brought out an electrician and that guy was amazing. He stayed with it until he fixed it all. So I'd say it's a really mixed bag of who they send and how well they do.

We had a water problem. The technician gave us incorrect information for the repair. We had to go outside at First American to have the repair done. When the repair was done a problem still was not solved and the repair that was recommended was unnecessary. It was a $700 mistake on First Americam's part of which they said they would reimburse us. They did not. We have been customers for almost 20 years. Sorely disappointed

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.

They are very good at responding to my request, however, when a unit must be replaced, their replacement is usually inferior to the unit being replaced and so they get away with paying out a fraction of the actual equivalent replacement cost.

Although First American is trying hard, and the manufacturer is causing the delay, I feel First American should be more aggressive in resolving this replacement microwave service call in a short period of time.

Some of the contractors did a good job however some of them did not and I had to call back to get work done correctly. One company had to come out 3 times to do a repair on my dryer.not only did they scratch up my floor, after they left the next day the same problem came back..

When I first bought the house I had two minor fixes. My next renewal the premium was raised. I haven't had an issue since. I have not had premium decrease in 3 years. I really don't think that is fair with a used home purchase to have this held against me.

Taking to long to get a simple job done. They made a mistake on the diagnosis and it has been down hill from there. It has taken me 2 weeks to get this straight and I have talked to 5 people from there and still nothing is done.

I have paid insurance premiums to American Home Warranty, totaling well over $4,000 but have never had to file a claim. Until something happens, I will have no basis to rate them on. They’re good at collecting payments, if I file a claim, we’ll see how good they are then.

I been very happy with the service you have provided, however the last time service was needed for my rental property there was a confusion with the warranty and the service was not able to complete the work. This was a mistake on your end. So I wasn’t very happy.
