First American Home Warranty Reviews

TXAgs July 10, 2011
Scam
I purchased a house in December of 2010 and the mortgage company arranged First American Home Warranty to provide warranty on the house for a year. In 6 months I have filed 3 claims which they refused to pay even though the contract states that they cover products I have made a claim about. One of the claims I received payment for, but only after I paid for the A/C repair myself after it had been out for 2 days in 105+ degree weather. It took me over a month of calling them before they agreed to pay it. My current claim is for a broken pool pump which is covered under the warranty. It has been 3 weeks now and they will not give the pool repair company the go-ahead to order the replacement parts. First American Home Warranty does not provide any service at all. It is apparent in my phone conversations with them that their claims department is trained to say no to everything in hopes that the owner will give up and pay for the repair themselves.

Deceptive warranties Scam
First American Home Buyers Protection Corporation is a deceptive operation, after paying my monthly payment I needed repair on my furnace, they sent their company out that tried to fault a fifteen year old furnace that had been working as installation issues, then they requested me call additional company at my expense, who advised that it was normal wear & tear, this company suggested that the entire unit be replace, but now since I didn't file an additional now they can't pay for the warranty, which I am still paying my Premium too. by the way this occured during this last round of bad weather, and the issue is still not completed.

Horrible Service and Bad Contractors
This company is horrible. Do not do any kind of business with them. When our air conditioning went out, we ended up having to wait 9 days in horrible Texas heat to get our air conditioning fixed. The people they hired for parts and labor were also bad (Accurate Airconditioning). They failed to pick up a part when they were supposed to, and if I hadn't called to confirm the appointment we had been waiting a few days for, I wouldn't have even known that they had decided not to come because of this. First American would not let us switch the air conditioning company that was doing the service after many complaints on our end of various things. Then, months later, we were told that we hadn't paid the bill, so we had to go through all the effort of proving that we had done that. A HUGE WASTE of time and money.

THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS THEY TAKE FOREVER TO REPLACE ITEMS AND THEY REPLACE WITH THE CHEAPEST PRODUCTS
This company is the worst Home Warranty Company in the world. The Customer service is horrible, and no one seems to know anything about a claim. My water heater went out last month and it took them a WEEK to replace it. They do not replace it right away, i called and no one knew what was going on with it. They had no idea where it was coming from and they did not even know how to track it. I have had my Fridge worked on for over 4 months and when i signed up they said if you keep having the same problem with a product more than 3 time and can not be fixed we will replace it. It took me to finally say, enough is enough i want it replaced, they had agreed to it since finally the SEARS repairman said it had to be replaced, Sears come on Monday 11-08-10, and no one from First American called me to keep me up to date with what is going on so i have had to call them to find out and they have no idea, i just now got off the phone with them again 11-12-10 and have been on the phone with them for 1 hr and they said someone forgot to order it, and that they would order it today, so it will take an additional week to get it. The funny thing is that the same thing happened with the water heater someone had forgotten to order it and me and my 2 kids got sick because we had to boil water in order to take a bath. SO STAY AWAY AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THIS COMPANY THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER AT ALL. I BET THEY FORGET ABOUT CLAIMS ALL THE TIME LIKE THEY DO ME, BUT THEY SURE ARE NOT FORGETFUL TO GET THEIR MONEY EACH MONTH. THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED THE WAY THEY CONDUCT BUSINESS. I WILL BE FILING A CLAIM WITH BBB, AND AM ALSO CALLING A LAWYER AS WE SPEAK .

Failure to Act Responsibly
I have been without heat from my furnace for over two weeks now and still waiting for First American Home Warranty to fix the problem. I have an older furnace (32 year old home with original furnace) which is one of the main reasons I purchased this service. In the past year, they have replaced the circuit board three times and now saying it has an electrical problem and currently waiting for an electrician to evaluate. Recently, they have also had to replace the motor, the starter and the thermocoupler is just hanging on - yet they refuse to replace this 32 year old furnace. Last summer I was without AC for six weeks while they messed around getting parts - and that was in 100+ July temps. I am tired of waking up to a cold house in the morning...I told them I was going to stay at a hotel and send them the bill. They offered to give me a discount on a space heater! A lot of good that is going to do for my three story house. These guys give you the run-around and don't respond = their warranty is a joke!

Unacceptable Service
I called First American Home Warranty when I realized that my A/C unit wasn't working properly. 8/3/10. Keep in mind my area is in the middle of a heat wave, with heat index readings up to 115. They sent someone out, 3 TIMES, who had no idea what he was doing. Over the course of 9 days, I was without air conditioning, save for the window unit I had to go out and buy so I could at least sleep comfortably. On day 9, I called First American AGAIN, and told them I didn't want that particular tech at my house again, get someone else out. They did, on day 11. The next tech diagnosed the problem, but I have been waiting 4 days for that company to verify that my unit was still under manufacturers warranty. I finally called myself, and in less than 5 minutes, I was able to find out the it is, in fact still under warranty, so all the techs need to do is go get my parts. I called First American and passed on this information and asked them if they wanted to call the techs or do they want me to do that. They called and told them what I found out, so I am still sitting here, waiting for yet another service call to get my A/C fixed. It has been 15 days since I have had A/C. I cannot count the times I have called First American. I f I had to guess, I'd say I have dialed their number at least 50 times. I know the spiel by heart. They now know me as well. Needless to say, I am on day 15 with no A/C, I have had to do the leg work and phone calling FOR First American, and as I am typing this, I am on hold again, having spoken to the A/C company they have hired, this morning, and getting more information from them. This is a joke, a nightmare, it is way past unnacceptable, and I am tired of the hollow apologies. There is much more to this but I will run out of room.

Not fixing AC
June 8th our AC unit stopped working completely. Tempature that day was over 100 degrees outside. In fact the entire month of June with the exception of 3 days... the tempature has been over 100 degrees outside. Here we are on June 30th and I still do not have a working AC unit. 22 days we have been waiting, praying, hoping, complaining, inquiring, etc. Nothing is being done. I still do not have even an estimated date that my repair will be done. NOTHING. I have 4 small children... one who is special needs. I was told that all First American would grant us is a small window unit up to $150. Doesn't exactly cut it for a 2600 square foot home.

The contractor they are making us use is Action Air. They are crooked and shady. They kept telling us that the warranty hadn't ordered the parts when in fact they were supposed to order the parts and he FORGOT. He kept telling us that the warranty company is famous for making people wait on parts. When he finally did order our parts, he didn't get all the parts he needed and gave us an estimated waiting date of 7/1 but said that it could take as long as Christmas as these parts aren't made anymore for the 5 year old unit we have. Home warranty said that as long as there was an estimated date... even if it was for 2012 then they would not offer to replace the unit. After our realtor got involved and threatened to not sell another house with the home warranty, they agreed to replace the unit. Generous? Nah! They ordered a unit for us however after ordering it and waiting for it to come in... it was determined that the ordered unit is no longer made. How do you order something that isn't available? I know when I go online to make a purchase, it tells me its not available. I am sure this was another excuse. As of now... waiting on another new unit that was ordered. If it was ordered.

I also expressed to the home warranty that their contractor was rude, crooked, a liar, and that he was bad mouthing them. I asked to file a complaint but they insist we must use him. I plan to complain on him as well to the Texas Licensing and BBB.

I will never again buy a home warranty. I can't believe that no one cares enough in this heat or that this is acceptable.

Non responsive
I have had a First American Home Warranty for 5 years, and for the last 3 have had numerous claims on an airconditioner. The contractors they sent out Accurate Air Conditioning could not seem to fix the problem correct.y and had to return numerous times - of course during the hot Texas summer. When I complained to First American that I didn't want Accurate out again, they told me that because I had gone online to schedule work they couldn't change companies. When I insisted, they cancelled the work order, then gave me to a company who couldn't come out for a week! Even though I told First American I wanted to file a complaint against Accurate, they never processed it and this year when the ac went out AGAIN, they insisted on sending out Accurate. After being left on hold for 25 minutes I got to a supervisor who basically said too bad, refused to let me speak to his manager and insisted there was no one else who would speak to me. I finally got a manager's name and number, left a message but it was never returned. At the conclusion of the call with the supervisor he told me that their vendors were judged carefully against consumer complaints, but that they didn't write my complaint down, so technically, there was no complaint. Everyone I spoke to was rude, and clearly couldn't have cared less whether I was happy or not. First American is a disaster as a home warranty company.

DIDN'T HONOR CONTRACT
First American Home Warranty is a complete SCAM! Last month I canceled my policy after they refused a repair that was CLEARLY covered, in black and white, according to the contract. They basically let my mother freeze until I could get a contractor out there to fix her heat - AT MY EXPENSE. I won't go into details to save myself the aggravation of reliving it, but I am now with another home warranty company and am much happier. Not only is their service number available 24 hours, but their monthly fees are lower for better coverage!

Point is, First American is a SCAM. You pay your fees every month, but when you actually need something repaired, they leave you high and dry.
