First Premier Home Warranty (FPHW) offers home service repair contracts, commonly known as home warranties, to consumers across the country. While the company was incorporated in 2020, its founder is an industry veteran, with more than 30 years' experience in the industry. 

First Premier's products help homeowners prepare for the cost of unexpected repairs due to wear and tear, which aren't covered by homeowners insurance. The home warranty industry's payment policy structure includes two types of payments:

  • You pay the warranty company for the policy. In this case, the warranty policy premium is about $350+, with the option for a low monthly payment as well.
  • You pay a certain amount upfront, at your appointment with the contractor or service technician — $45+ with FPHW.

First Premier home warranties can be acquired two different ways:

  1. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) — An individual interested in a home warranty purchases a policy online or over the phone, directly from the warranty company.
  2. From a real estate professional — A home warranty incentive can give peace of mind to both buyers and sellers. Sellers should know that house deals including a warranty sell 16% faster, for more money — over $2,000 on average. For buyers, a home warranty helps to boost trust. If something goes wrong with one of your appliances in the first year, you get a leg up on taking care of home repairs, as long as they are covered in your policy.

In this review, we will be mostly addressing First Premier Home Warranty's DTC offerings.

FPHW warranty agreements cover various property types, including the following:

  • Dwellings with less or more than 5,000 square feet
  • Existing and newly built homes
  • Single-family homes
  • Condominiums
  • Townhomes
  • Mobile homes

Dwellings larger than 5,000 square feet can also be covered by First Premier, including single- and multi-family dwellings (up to a four-plexes) through the standard options. However, people looking to cover multi-family properties should note that shared systems in multi-family residences are not eligible for plan coverage. If you are looking to cover a shared water heater, for example, be careful to ask questions and thoroughly read the terms of service to know what you can expect and whether this provider offers any upgrades to fill this coverage gap.

First Premier Home Warranty Coverage

Covered appliances and home systems must be in proper working condition on the policy's effective date and located inside the home's main foundation, or in the garage (attached or detached). However, exceptions allow coverage for items not fully contained within the building's footprint:

  • Air conditioning
  • Exterior pool and spa
  • Septic system
  • Well pump

First Premier Home Warranty Plans

This home warranty provider provides two basic plans to choose from — Premier and Premier Platinum. 

Each warranty plan is available to purchase through monthly or annual payments. Both include a mix of appliances and systems, rather than separating appliance plans and systems plans, as most home warranty companies do. 

Whether you choose the Premier or the Premier Platinum warranty option, you have some flexibility to customize your coverage. For example, optional coverage items include less commonly needed items like a pool or a standalone freezer.

Contracts last for one year and can be purchased in one lump sum or split into monthly payments.

Here's how the two plans stack up against each other:

How do you report a First Premier Home Warranty claim?

Submit claims over the phone to the 24/7 FPHW service hotline. While you can email customer service or fill out an online contact form, the provider requests all claims to be reported over the phone.

What is FPHW's normal in-policy timeframe?

While you can request service at any time, the standard timeframe for this provider is as follows:

  • After you make a request, FPHW will contact a service provider the same day, during business hours.
  • If you submit a request on the weekend or a holiday, it can take up to the first business day after the holiday to get in touch with the service company.

After being notified, service contractors will contact you to schedule an appointment during normal business hours.

With First Premier Home Warranty, who does the repairs?

Service calls are performed by FPHW's network of independent service contractors. The repair technician screening process is described by this provider as rigorous. 

Can you choose your own contractor or preferred repair service to do the work?

Depending on the home warranty provider you go with, you may or may not be allowed to request or even just independently select your own repair service. So, how does First Premier handle contractor selection?

According to its Terms and Conditions, this company has the "sole and absolute right" to choose the contractor who performs your service call. If you choose a service pro on your own, prior approval from FPHW must be authorized.

Under certain circumstances, the warranty provider may request or approve you to contact an independent service provider. If this happens, customers will be reimbursed for an authorized amount.

You will only be reimbursed if you get prior approval from FPHW before contacting on your own and getting claims approved. Before reimbursement, the warranty company needs acceptable proof of repair and an itemized cost receipt.

What is FPHW's emergency policy timeframe?

There is no in-contract timeframe when it comes to emergency repair assistance. First Premier states, "We will determine what repairs constitute an emergency and will make reasonable efforts to expedite emergency service."

Pros

  • $45 Service Call Fee
  • Service and Labor Guarantee
  • No Transfer Fee
  • Lump Sum Payment Discount
  • No Inspection Needed

$45 Service Call Fee

First Premier Home Warranty has one of the lowest trade service fees in the industry, starting at $45.

Service and Labor Guarantee

If service work performed under this contract should fail, then the company will make the necessary repairs without an additional Trade Service Call Fee for a period of 90 days on parts and 30 days on labor.

No Transfer Fee

Customers can transfer their contract at any time with no fee.

Lump Sum Payment Discount

If you choose an annual plan and decide to pay up-front rather than in monthly installments, you save $50.

No Inspection Needed

First Premier Home Warranty doesn't require a property inspection before you can buy or start a home warranty. Instead, the company uses a 30-day wait policy before your policy becomes effective.

It's pretty standard for a warranty provider to require either a 30-day waiting period or a home inspection to help exclude claims due to pre-existing conditions.

Cons

  • Cash in Lieu of Repair or Replacement
  • Waiting Period
  • Cancellation Fee
  • Coverage Not Available in All States

Cash in Lieu of Repair or Replacement

First Premier Home Warranty shoppers should know that, at the company's discretion, you may be offered cash back instead of a repair or replacement. The settlement amount offered is equal to what it would cost FPHW to repair or replace the broken mechanical system component or appliance, which may be "less than retail" — meaning, the company will give you money, but it won't cover the total that you will end up spending if you to pay to fix the issue on your own.

A cash reimbursement in lieu of repair or replacement is a good factor to be aware of, both when you are comparison shopping, as well as when you are a potential, or new customer. It's certainly not a unique home warranty policy. You will come across this, or similar policies with providers such as Platinum Home Warranty, Choice Home Warranty, and American Home Shield.

If you have covered systems or appliances that are deemed irreparable, or totaled (not cost-effective to repair), your contract only covers a replacement that costs less than the depreciated value of the system or appliance that's not working. That amount does not include labor to install it either. "FPHW is not responsible for installation," in this circumstance.

Waiting Period

When consumers buy a home warranty plan directly from First Premier Home Warranty, the service agreement doesn't go into effect immediately. Whether you purchase it online or over the phone, there is a 30-day waiting period from your order date, before your 12 months of coverage officially start.

While not universal, it's pretty common to have a waiting period when you sign up for a home warranty. This type of policy is meant to protect the company from paying claims on pre-existing conditions, which are almost always excluded from coverage. Your home systems and appliances are required to be in normal working condition when you sign your initial contract.

However, FPHW offers to waive the 30-day wait, at its own discretion, on a case-by-case basis, if you can provide proof of prior home warranty coverage without a lapse.

Cancellation Fee

There is a 30-day cancellation period, starting at your order date. Service doesn't start for 30 days unless you have provided proof of uninterrupted service. If you do decide to cancel in the 30-day grace period, you will get a full refund, less any service costs that FPHW has already paid on your behalf to service providers.

After 30 days, you can cancel if a mutual agreement is made with the warranty company. All cancellation requests have to be submitted to FPHW in writing. However, after 30 days from your order date, a full refund is off the table. You will get a pro-rata refund less a $75 admin fee and any service costs already incurred by the provider.

Coverage Not Available in All States

The FPHW website has a disclaimer stating that coverage isn't available in all states; however, it doesn't state any exception. You have to go through the quote process to see if First Premier can help you, or whether you will be referred to a third party.

The Bottom Line

First Premier Home Warranty offers home appliance and system coverage, with easy plans to choose from, each covering a different mix of appliances and systems. Coverage for single-family home starts at about $350 annually, with an additional 20+ covered items as optional. FPHW has a $45 service call fee, which normally costs between $50 and $150 with other providers. 

Customers benefit from a 24/7 service line to call-in claim requests, as well as parts and labor guarantees, though appliance and system replacements and repairs depend on some exclusions and calculations.

Let me just tell all consumers out there why they should not get a warranty which First Premier: 1. Horrible customer service. They never answer the phone and have an unreliable answering service. Most warranty companies are available 24/7..not these clowns. They do not even return phone calls-and when they do, they keep you on hold forever. 2. Complete scam artists-I purchased a home in November after coming home from deployment and serving my country; some salesperson from First Premier Home warranty called me soliciting home warranties. I agreed and signed a contract and paid for the warranty for three years over the course of 4-6 months. My freezer/refrigerator started giving me issues: the freezer was too cold-everything was being frozen over and becoming a block of ice in the freezer. The refrigerator was not getting cold enough. The icemaker stop making ice. I contacted First Premier to initiate a claim and they never called me back until almost a month later. Initially they were trying to walk me through repairing the issue over the phone and then when I told them that would not fly. That is when they decided to get someone out to look at it. People this was March 2021 fast forward to when the technician came out to look at the freezer- May 2021. These scam artists found the cheapest labor to come look at my freezer. He came out check it out and made a diagnosis. I kept calling the technician to find out when the repairs would be completed. He stated that he was waiting on the warranty company to respond to him about payment for the repairs. When I spoke with the warranty company after speaking with the technician-they said they were waiting on the diagnosis from the technician. I called the technician on three way with the warranty company and they were arguing with one another. Todd P. who is the “Head of Operations” for First Premier was arguing with the technician over the cost of the repairs. I told them both that this was unprofessional and I am just trying to get my freezer fixed. The technician texted me and said that Todd P. was a liar which I already suspected and once the technician was off the phone Todd P. bragged about how he was going to lowball the technician and asked me not to tell the technician. Overall, this was the worst experience I have ever had with a warranty company. This company is full of crap. They a bunch of unprofessional scam artists. Todd P. cares more about a negative review online than whether or not he has happy customers. I had to barter with this lame head of operations to get my freezer fixed because even with all the money I paid for the warranty. He initially told me the part that was needed to fix my freezer was not covered by my warranty. I told him if they fixed my freezer, I would take the review down. Which I absolutely had no intention of doing because the review was the truth about this lame company. When I mentioned that I wanted to cancel the warranty and go elsewhere-he stated that you would not be able to get your freezer fixed because it is considered a pre-existing condition. I will say it again. This company cares more about making money than keeping and making existing customers happy. Last thing I need to mention about this company and its practices. If you decide to cancel. They will offer a prorated amount as a refund. This is how they calculate your refund. They subtract however many months you had the warranty which is fine but also they subtract the amount they paid for any repairs that was supposed to be covered by your warranty. So here goes I paid $1133.36 for a warranty for 3 years. I cancelled after 8 months. Here is what the math should look like: 3 years equals 36 months…$1133.36 divided by 36 months is approximately $31.49. $31.49 times 8 months is $251.92. $1133.36 minus $251.92 equals $881.44. This should be my refund amount. These scam artists decided that they are entitled to retain $926.24 and only refund me $207.12 talking about they kept $300 for a “repair” to my freezer. They never repaired my freezer. They sent out again the cheapest tech they could find and he did not fix the issue. I actually paid a reputable company (Appliance Doctors) over $400 to fix the issue and NOW and only now, my freezer works great. 3. Fast-forward to 9/15/2021 almost two months after I initially cancelled my warranty. I received the authorization for the prorated balance amount of $207.12 back in July and was told to sign it and return it and I would be issued a refund. I purposely didn’t sign it and return it back in July because I was waiting on a response from the PA Attorney General as well as the BBB because I filed a claim with them once I received the proposed prorated refund document but since I haven’t heard anything for approx. two months, I decided to go ahead and sign the form and send it back to at least try and get part of the money that is owed to me from this company. I was told by Todd P. the refund was still “pending” because I did not take down the first review that I submitted on the company’s website back in like March/April of 2021. I explained that we already discussed this and that I was not taking down a review that was true. Secondly I asked how am I supposed to take down an already posted review and his response was “figure it out”. I told him well I am not taking it down and he said and I quote “well you not getting a refund.” This whole situation is asinine. 4. This company is totally unprofessional and total scam artist. Consumers for your own wellbeing-if you are ever approached via email or by phone from First Premier Home Warranty to purchase a warranty decline and do some research and find a reputable company. DO NOT EVER PURCHASE A WARRANTY THROUGH FIRST PREMIER HOME WARRANTY…YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

In December the technician came out to fix the ice maker in our refrigerator. The technician (decades of experience) said there was no part. About 3 months later another tech came with a part and it did not fit. A couple weeks ago a tech came out with a part, it fit and water immediately started leaking and ice maker is still broke. I final had to shut off the water. It has been 6 months now. You need to replace our refrigerator.

I would do zero stars if it was possible. I scheduled a service call for my dishwasher. I received a couple phone calls that day from first premier to get more information. Then nothing. I called them after a few days and they said they do all their scheduling via email. I never received any email from them but they gave me the name and number of a local tech. I called him ands I let the tech pick the day and time best for him. He pulled a no show, after an hour I called but he didn’t answer his phone or reply to my text when I asked when he would get there. I had to reach out to first premier who told me he would be getting back to me to set up a time later that day. I gave him an hour and then called. No answer so I text him asking what the plan was. He replied “so sorry have to reschedule”. I immediately replied asking when that would be. No response. Now I just called the 24 hour number for first premier and they aren’t there I got an answering service. Now I missed a day of work, and don’t have a new time scheduled and there is no one to talk to at their 24-7 365 day phone number. They are completely disrespecting me and my time. This level of service is completely unacceptable! I found a link in their email with my policy in it where they offered a free month to leave a positive review of their company. No way they have dropped the ball and aren’t even trying to make any kind of mends for it.

I signed up a home warranty with this company (First Premium Home Warranty).My Kitchen disposal broke down and reported; the contract says you wait for 48 hours then get a claim number, after which they'll assign a technician to come and fix the appliance. I did exactly that, was given a claim number and a technician called and confirmed the time they were to show up at my place to check the disposal. The technician never showed up as agreed and when I called them, they told me that First Premium Home Warranty had called them and advised them not to come. I then reached out to First Premium Home Warranty and initially they said that this contractor had quoted a higher price compared to what they were paying for the same service, so I asked them to send me one of their contractors that was within their price range and this is when they changed the claim to be a cash in lieu of repairs. They sent me a form to fill and send back, which I did. They then said, it should take 7-14 days to process and I waited. I started asking the status and they kept on saying it is under process. This was more than a month after reporting the problem. One of their agents then called and told me how they had issues a check, that got lost, and they have cancelled it in the bank; so I asked him, where did it get lost? he said post office, I asked do you have a tracking number, this agent said the tracking number was with another department. So I asked the agent to just cancel my contract and refund my dues since they had failed to fulfill their side of the contract. He said he will cancel and let me know as I could not accommodate more excuses and stories. They then went DEAD. No response to emails. I have resigned myself to the fact that I was duped. This company (First Premium Home Warranty) took my money and gave a contract they had no intention of fulfilling. Avoid this Company (First Premium Home Warranty) at all Cost.

BUYER BEWARE! I purchased a home in February of 2021. As part of the transaction, we took out a Home Warranty policy with First Premier Home Warranty to have warranty on major appliances like the oven, stove, air conditioning system, heating system, etc. Per their own website, policy documents, and claim, they will fix or replace above stated items. We began having troubles with our air conditioning system in May of 2021 so we had an HVAC company come out to assess the problem. Since I'm one of those people who likes a second opinion, I had a 2nd company come out and assess the problem. Both companies came to the same exact conclusion. The system was in a vacuum and will not hold coolant and the system would need to be replaced. I forwarded the diagnosis to First Premier Home Warranty and initiated a claim. About a week passed with zero correspondence from First Premier Home Warranty beyond the initial correspondence where I initiated the claim so I sent a follow up email to determine the status. The response was "your claim has been denied". I then called First Premier Home Warranty to no avail. They told me their "claims specialist" would get back to me in a few days. Almost a week later the phone rang and a very rude and pushy man asked to speak to me. Turns out his name is Todd. Todd used an aggressive approach in attempt to belittle me for not being an expert in cooling and heating. Because somehow I should be an expert in cooling and heating in order to file a claim to have my AC replaced? Interesting, but moving along. Todd tells me I need to pay for the system to be refilled and to have a dye added to the system so they could determine where the leak is. Again, reiterating that they will not pay to have this done but it needed to be done to determine if they'll cover a replacement. I'll remind you, I had TWO companies come out and diagnose the problem. BOTH companies determined the system was shot and would need to be replaced. So First Premier Home Warranty wants me to pay out of my own pocket to have the system refilled? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why would I pay out of pocket to refill a system that has been determined to be no good? And if I refused to pay unnecessary money to fill the bad system that they would immediately deny the claim. It's become VERY clear that First Premier Warranty does absolutely everything in their power to deny a claim and not take care of their customers.

Jimmy,
Our customer service team is available 24 hour 7 days a week.
The information was sent out to you in 1 day after claim was received.
The reason for slight delay was that we were waiting on the diagnosis from the technician.
So as the company we did everything on our end to be on top of things.
Once again, we offer you our sincerest apologies, and are looking forward to settling this complaint.

If I could give a 0 score, I would. I have had many home warranty companies over the years and this is absolutely the worst. They take your money very well but they take up to 2 days to even give you a repair person. Then, in my experience, they deny the claims time and time again. It says that your refund - if you want to cancel is prorated by months left of service minus a $75 administrative fee. Yet, when I tried to cancel after 2 months of service, they said they would pay me 1/12 of what I paid in.

This company is a scam. It is a fraudulent biz. So far they have refused to do any repair for my claims. The contract clearly specifies that ductwork is covered but they blatantly told the technician that no ductwork is covered. When I told them I would let others know how unethical their biz practice is, they threatened with words like "we know where you live". This is such a hellish experience.

In my opinion this company is a complete scam! My most recent issue was a leaky shower. Everything was fine they assured me that it was a covered item, that is until they received the plumber’s estimate then all of the sudden it was not a covered item! Total scam. The supervisor tried to tell that he work take care of me with a further waived fee. Unbelievable

This is the 2nd time that I have attempted to use this service and I'm extremely disappointed. I was told on Thursday by Todd P (who is quite rude, and has really bad customer service) that if I got my pipes that were clogged up from rice, Premier would replace the garbage disposal if it still didn't work.  I did this and now today he is stating that it's still not covered.  However, this is NOT what my warranty states.  Here is what it says:     It was clogged with RICE.  RICE IS A FOOD!

Most expensive, unethical racket in the Home Warranty business. Bought a 6 year, $2,500 warranty. Filed 2 claims, both were deemed irreparable. Fought for 25% and, 10% for payouts! Canceled after 10 months. Fought for a $600 refund!!! Expected around $2,150 for 10 months.

The technician stated that the compressor went bad twice before this claim which would be considered a pre-existing issue before your plan has started , Unfortunately we aren't allowed to cover any pre-existing issue.
Once again, we offer you our sincerest apologies, if any issues go out in future please don't hesitate to reach out.

At FPHW, our goal is to provide customers with a piece of mind that a home warranty will save them time and money but most importantly, our customers will not pay for any repairs or replacements that are listed as covered in our service agreement.
Please don't hesitate to call in at any point in time of need.
