They've always done what they say they are going to do. I have a little problem with the monthly fee, I think seventy five dollars is a little high but that is my only problem.

What they cover wasn't clear on the website. My refrigerator isn't getting down to a cold temp so I called and a technician contacted me the next day and came out even with the twenty four house turn around to fix it.

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'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.

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.

Maybe they should get contractors nearby so it is not so far out. I had one contractor that over fifty miles away, so it is not convenient and it took over a month to get the problem solved.

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.

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!

I am thinking about canceling First American because you don't cover toilet problems. Ci had to replace the wax rings and the flange because it was rusted because of age and it cost me $300.00. I thought the warranty was to help replace things that wear out.

Our in-wall plumbing leak was resolved, but then drywall needs to be replaced. FAHW could not source a local contractor, and therefore told me to find my own for reimbursement. I can't find a local contractor, probably for the same reason that FAHW couldn't find a contractor, and now I am getting emails from FAHW saying that if I don't find a contractor soon then FAHW is going to close my claim. Unnecessary pressure on me to try to do something that FAHW couldn't do itself.
