Overall Rating: 3.9 / 5 (Very good)

First Premier Home Warranty is a relative newcomer to the home warranty industry, but enjoys an overall favorable reputation on consumer review sites. The company offers coverage in 27 states. Customers have a choice of two plans and may also elect coverage upgrades for unique home features.

First Premier Home Warranty does not provide specific pricing information on its website, but they make it fairly easy to request a quote online. Monthly premiums and per-service-call prices may vary by location and by the deductible a customer selects.

First Premier Home Warranty policies are highly customizable. Customers can select coverage very specific to their needs. Some homeowners might really appreciate this level of flexibility, while others might prefer to purchase an all-in-one plan to keep things simple.

Coverage Options - 4 / 5

First Premier Home Warranty offers a choice of two plans. Its lower price plan, the Premier Plan, does not cover some of the items might expect it to and which are included in competitive plans, including refrigerator, washer, and dryer coverage. You must step up to the Premier Platinum plan and/or to specialty coverage options to get coverage for these items. The company's specialty options include coverage for pools, spas, sump pumps, and duplicate appliances.

Specialty Items and Additional Coverage

First Premier Home Warranty offers quite a few options for covering unique home items. We found their coverage for second appliances in the home—like that extra fridge in the basement—a particularly practical option.

Contract & Price

Contract Details

Annual Premium
Starting at $399

Contract & Price - 3.5 / 5

You can purchase a First Premier Home Warranty by the month or annually. The company's two stand-alone plan prices are a little higher than average. However, customers may find that if they add specialized coverage for such items you might be expected to be included in a non-custom plan—such as a refrigerator ice maker, washer, or dryer—the cost of your policy can really creep up.

Cancellation Policy

First Premier Home Warranty allows customers to cancel their policies for a full refund within 30 days of purchase, provided no claims are made during that period.

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... Read More

Buyer beware. They promise you the world and take forever to show up. Offered $150 to replace my washer. They give depreciated value of appliances if they can't fix it. I have a 5 year old top of the line Maytag washer and get $150 towards buying a new one. Not reputable.

Absolutely loved dealing with Billy in customer service. He made sure that my claim was handled professionally and that the technician was on time all I had to pay was the small service fee and my dishwasher was back up and running

I was so impressed within the ten minutes the part had an approval. The tech contacted FPHW and while we were talking, the parts were approved. I was so impressed! Thirty minutes from the tech pulling up, condensing fan replaced and ac working. I am totally impressed with First Premier! I am a customer forever!

The customer service response time is PHENOMINAL !! It is refreshing to speak to someone in the USA and be able to understand them. It is also wonderful to have someone LISTEN to you and respect your concerns. After being a customer of Old Republic for nearly 20 years - we are MOST HAPPY to now do business with and trust our home warranty with the Best of the Best !!! The customer service & pricing cannot be beat !

Just being honest. I have had many home warranties throughout my life as a home owner. First premier Home Warranty is definitely one of the best. Fast turnarounds and excellent customer service. If you’re on the fence and need coverage at a reasonable price. Don’t sacrifice service for price. This is a perfect marriage of the two. I’ve done the research for you. Good luck!
