We have been without heat since after Christmas. Contractor sent out left Furnace apart and never called nor communicated. Opted for Cash out option after Contractor came back with extravagant non-covered charges and going on week 3 with no response. Small kids with no heat for going on 3-months. Do not recommend.

Terrible to deal with, most of their contractors don't show, show and you never hear from them again or have no clue what they are doing. Do not recommend even if the warranty is given to you with a home purchase as you will pay the service fee and spend hours of your time chasing answers down.

During a dangerous heat wave, they have delayed responding by three days, and are now claiming that it will take another five days to repair our A/C. The service technician explained that the problem is the warranty company (FAHW), not the parts or service. Do not use them, they will put you and your family at risk.

Hello David,

Our records indicate Faith and Hope HVAC Services reported the condenser fan motor and capacitor needed replacement as they had failed. We authorized the repair. Please be advised, the condenser fan motor is expected to arrive between June 29, 2021 - July 1, 2021. Faith and Hope HVAC Services will contact you to schedule an appointment to install the part as soon as it has arrived.

Thank you.

Hello Robert,
First American apologizes for any inconvenience you may have experienced during the handling of your claim and thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. 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 the new dishwasher was delivered on November 24, 2020 and is in process of being installed by GE Sales. In regards to your oven, our records indicate that At Bay Appliance is waiting to receive the parts needed to complete the needed repairs. Once the parts are received, At Bay Appliance will contact you directly to schedule a mutually convenient appointment to complete repairs.

Please be advised, First American considers your claim pending.

Read The small print before you renew your warranty with First American Home Warranty. I was told that appliances were covered under my plan, as it turns out your MAJOR appliances are NOT covered, such as your refrigerator, washer, dryer, but your microwave is.

They're a fraud. They just hook you up with a technician. Which we can easily find on google or any local please. They charge you $800+ and then when you need them, the technician would come to the property and give you a $1000+ estimate and state that the warranty will NOT cover it... WTF is the warranty for then. its a fraud people!!!

Would not recommend this company. I had them for 2 different homes. They make every excuse to not cover a repair. First was a furnace, they said it was old so they'll only cover half the cost. Second was plumbing. Said was not normal wear and tear. To me it's a waste of money to have this warranty company .

Consumer beware! We went 10 days taking cold showers and then ended up paying $550 out of pocket plus the $75 service fee. Don’t be fooled thinking you’re lessening your risk of a big unexpected expense. Wasted our money for six years. Stick with your local contractors. These insurance companies are a scam.

This company should be avoided - as they don't care about their Customers. The vendors they use are not experienced in their work.

I used to have this. I cancelled it because I had a leak under my sink and they never sent anyone. Then they charged me some fees for canceling. They didn't even care that my kitchen floor was ruined. This is a scam. They just want your money. You are better off having a savings account just for home repairs.
