First American Home Warranty

I've had mixed experiences with First American but recently, it has been a lot of improvement. Normally, they respond fast and positively. If there's something that they don't cover, they're clear. So, especially in the past year and a half, it has been a better experience.

I had some plumbing work, and the original contractor that they sent was awful. He was not professional. His behavior, the way he talked and his follow up were awful.

I called First American back and I mentioned that to them, and I asked them to change the contractor for the follow up. The contractor that they chose was great. One good thing about First American was that when they received the feedback for me to change the contractor.

Overall, my experience with First American has been good. I have been happy. It gives peace of mind. As far as claims, just in a phone call, I can submit a claim. That's easy.

First American has been pretty responsive whenever I have a problem with those items that they covered. I normally get a reply within 24 hours. My garage door spring got broken, and while it took them three days to dispatch somebody, they replaced it.

The oven gas pipe inside the burners had broken. It took about two weeks because of the holidays, but First American replaced it.

We also had a problem with the dishwasher before. That took a long time, and nobody told us what was going on. Then one day, they just turned up to repair it. So, we didn't know they were coming. Thankfully, somebody was home. Other than that, they're generally pretty good.

I go to the First American website when submitting claims, and there are dropdowns and I open them. It takes a couple of minutes. The contractors are pretty knowledgeable.

The turnaround time can always get shorter. If we could be in a matter of hours if the AC is out or there's an issue with plumbing, that would be perfect. Right now, it runs into a couple of days or more.

Submitting a claim to First American is super easy. That's the best part about them. I usually do it online and it takes within an hour if they assign a person to come and take care of the problem. They usually assign the same person to me.

There are just some things that they don't cover that I end up paying for, but I like having good relationships with them because it's the same company that comes over.

So, sometimes that plumber will say, "This is not covered, but we'll give you a discount as you're a good customer." Then, I call in for other stuff if I have something that is not covered.

We've used First American more than a couple of times. So, it's going well. I call my claim in, and then we get in contact with the service provider. It's been great. They fix everything that we've had trouble with.

The most recent claim was the dryer. The service guy replaced some plug that burnt out. I also had a garbage disposal claim and that was fine. Another one was the air. They said with that air, we may have to get some more work done on it, but it seems to be working fine ever since they came in.

Our First American experiences have varied a little bit but on the most recent occasion, we had an issue with our Jacuzzi heater and we made a call. They outsourced it to a pool company.

The correspondence was pretty weak. They were already coming out to do the work and check things out and we didn't know what was happening. Everything was done perfectly and quickly, but the communication was less than good.

I had an appliance guy out for my dishwasher. He got it all fixed up really quick. The claims process with First American went really smooth.

I usually go online and submit my claim to First American. It's very simple. It's pretty easy how they have it set up and usually within 24 hours, we will receive a call or a text where we've been given to and what company will be reaching out to us. I have nothing but positive comments to say about the contractors. They're awesome.

From my own personal experiences from having First American for the last two years, any kind of questions or situations that occur, it's usually a pretty rapid response.

The workers usually go out of their way to make sure that they can either fix the problem and if they need a part, they're trying to go out and find the part as quickly as possible.

They constantly keep me informed of every step they're taking. If the steps requires further processing, then I'm always aware of every step that's being made.

We had been under Fidelity for quite some time and switching over to First American Home Warranty, the team that helped us made it really easy. So, that was nice. Since then, we've submitted two claims. With the first one, I was pretty disappointed. It got denied.

Both of our claims have been related to our pool pump. The pool pump got extremely noisy to the point where we couldn't have it on and be outside in our backyard and talk. It was that loud. But we were told that that didn't require any kind of repair.

Several months passed and we called again. It got even louder. They sent somebody out and it was still working. But after the guy looked at it, it broke later that day and stopped working completely.

We weren't here when the guy came out the second time. It started working reasonably quietly. But despite my attempts, I haven't heard from anyone what exactly was done.

So, the problem seems to be resolved but nobody's told me anything about that. I kinda got the feeling that the contractor felt like they fixed it and didn't need to tell me anything more.

What I like about First American is that when I signed up, the team that signed me up was really helpful. I feel like in them signing me up, I got an actual contact with a person that I can email.

Both times, I've emailed the person who helped me sign up. She helps me in getting my service request processed and getting somebody out. Having a personal contact at First American has been helpful and kind of puts my mind at ease that somebody at First American cares about my account and is gonna help me get things resolved.
