About First American Home Buyers Protection
First American Home Warranty is ranked seventh in the list of the Best Home Warranty Companies in 2023. First American was founded in 1984 and now serves over 625,000 customers in 35 states. Its services are backed by more than 125 years of experience and support as part of the First American Financial Corporation family. First American Home Warranty now offers an appliance-only home warranty as well as a combination plan with an optional First Class Upgrade for extra coverage. The company relies on a network of prescreened technicians, and you can file a claim 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
First American Home Warranty offers two types of home warranties: the Basic plan (appliances only) and the Premier plan (systems and appliances). These plans begin at $36.67 per month or $440.00 per year, with an $85 service fee included.
First American Home Warranty provides fewer additional benefits to its members than some of the other companies as in ratings. Its plans are straightforward in terms of what is and isn't included, with one major exception: central air conditioning. This system is not covered by First American's Premier plan, which is typically included as part of a plan's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) coverage. If you want this covered as part of your plan, you must add it separately at an additional cost.
Finally, First American Home Warranty is only available in 35 states, rather than nationwide. You won't be able to get a plan through First American if you live in Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, or Wisconsin.
Based on its coverage options and price point, First American Home Warranty is a good choice for customers looking for a fairly standard home warranty plan. However, if you live in a hot state, you will have to pay an additional fee to cover your air conditioning system, which may limit its applicability and affordability for some customers.
Customers can choose between two plans from First American Home Warranty: one that covers most appliances (called the Basic plan) and one that covers a combination of home systems and appliances (Premier plan). The Basic plan costs $36.67 per month, while the Premier plan costs $52.92. Ceiling/attic/exhaust fans, Clothes dryer, Clothes washer, Dishwasher, Garbage disposal, Microwave (built-in), Range/oven/cooktop, Refrigerator (kitchen only), and Trash compactor are all included in the Basic plan.
These appliances are covered up to $3,500, which is higher than the coverage provided by the other company's ratings. Customers may not have to resort to lower-cost items or incur additional costs for an appliance that they really want if this limit is met. The Premier plan includes everything in the Basic plan as well as the following features: a central vacuum system, ductwork, electrical, a garage door opener, heating, plumbing, plumbing stoppages, and a water heater.
Both plans charge a service fee of $85 per contractor visit, which must be paid at the time of claim submission. This fee is in the middle of the Best Home Warranty Companies of 2023 ranking, with service fees ranging from $60 to $150. After submitting a claim and paying the fee, First American will usually dispatch an independent contractor within 48 hours. Work is backed by a 30-day guarantee for each service. While this is the standard rate, some companies provide up to 180 days. If the product fails after 30 days, customers must schedule another service call and pay an additional service call fee.
Additional coverage for specific systems, such as central air conditioning, a sump pump, and a pool, can be added for an additional monthly cost ranging from $2 to $17 per system. First American Home Warranty also offers a First Class Upgrade (FCU) option to increase the effectiveness of a plan. FCU includes additional features of certain covered items (for example, the racks, baskets, rollers, and knobs of a dishwasher) in addition to its main components. FCU also covers code violations (up to $250), improper installations, and specific machinery that requires repairs or replacement.
While home warranty companies provide financial peace of mind and a way to protect your budget from unexpected expenses, they occasionally impose coverage limits on items. For example, most businesses establish coverage capsÂdollar amounts on specific systems and appliances that prevent the company from paying for repairs or replacements that exceed that amount. First American sets coverage limits based on the item or plan under consideration. Its Starter and Essential plans have lower coverage caps per item than the Premium Plan. Most home warranty companies charge a service call fee. When a service provider arrives at a policyholder's home to address an issue, they must pay this fee. First American charges a variety of service call fees ranging from $75 to $125.
