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.

Great service

The contractor recognized that a sump pump could cause issues and reached out on Sunday and set an appointment for the next day.

The automated system is SO simple to use, my 9 year old grandson could use it. The contractor that y’all sent out was absolutely amazing top-tier amazing customer service. His repair skills were on par with what we hoped for. He even taught us a little bit about how to maintain our system between needing True maintenance on the system. Great guy and an all-around great process. You have very happy customers that are not going anywhere.

Miscommunication between First American and the service provider delayed replacement of our heat pump 2 months (8 weeks). Our persistent complaints to First American and numerous phone calls to the service provider finally resulted in the heat pump replacement 8 weeks after the claim was filed. We expected there might be a couple of weeks delay but 2 months to replace the heat pump during the winter months is not acceptable.

Disappointed long time customer

I have been a customer of First American Home Warranty for over 10 years and have carried coverage on multiple homes. This is year I had the worse experience ever with First American Home Warranty with poor quality contractor referrals, giving incorrect diagnosis, requiring me to find someone to get the job done, only have First American then refuse to pay out on the repair. I will not be renewing with First American next year. Quality and respect for customers has gone way downhill.
