About First American Home Warranty
Written by the company
First American home warranty plans provide a safeguard for your budget when your home’s systems and appliances break down. When a covered item unexpectedly stops working, we’re here to help with getting it working again. As a leader in the home warranty industry since 1984, you can count on the protection, experience and stability of First American Home Warranty.
Appliances and home systems will eventually fail. It’s unavoidable. A home warranty offers you a renewable service contract you can use to protect systems in your home such as heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical, as well as major appliances like your dishwasher, oven, clothes washer/dryer, refrigerator, and more.
With our home warranty protection, when a covered item breaks, we’ll send a pre-screened service contractor to your home to diagnose the issue. Many of our customers request service multiple times each year and save hundreds to thousands of dollars on repair and replacement costs. These types of mechanical failures are typically not covered by your homeowners insurance, so a home warranty can help bridge that gap in protection by shielding your budget from these sudden expenses.
Benefits of a First American home warranty:
• A simple solution when something breaks
• Protection from huge, unexpected repair or replacement bills
• 24/7 service requests
• Unlimited service calls
We offer a variety of affordable warranty plans and options so you can customize your coverage to fit your home and budget.

My 15 year old washer was denied repair/replacement because they are so stupid and concluded it was abused. How can anybody think that a washer that worked for 15 years is considered abused? That stupid must have thought that it should last 50 years and not just 15. Cancelled my insurance and move to another company.

The electrician found that a upgrade fan mount was needed and stopped work. I had another electrician install the mount and the new fan that was left here to get the job completed. There was no reinvestment for paying a different electrician to install the fan. I had to eat it. Atleast I don't have to wait another week.

Hello Robert,
First American sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of your claim and appreciates you bringing this matter to our attention. We are continually striving to improve our service, and your feedback is a valuable part of that effort.
According to our records, Compound Electric recommended replacing the dining room ceiling fan. However, installation requires a ceiling fan-rated electrical box.
Upon receiving your confirmation that your contractor installed the company-provided ceiling fan, we issued a cash payment of $120 in lieu of Compound Electric’s installation services.
Please allow 7–10 business days for the check to arrive.
Thank you,
Great communication and help throughout…
