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.

I told them our pool had a leak
I told them our pool had a leak. They charged me $95 for a service call knowing that our contract did not cover leaks which we were unaware of. Very dishonest!!

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.

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.
