I had a 15 year old AC unit blow out recently, not only did First Premier have someone come out same day, since it was unrepairable they expedited a new unit within 2 days. Couldn't be happier keep up the good work!
I'm from Virginia and this company is revoked for doing business here since February 2023 yet they still sell policies here. I took them to General District Court and won a judgement. That's all I needed to have my American Express account dispute resolved in my favor. Now I'm going to the NY State General Attorney about this company. Hopefully they will shut them down. All of their employees lie about anything and everything. All of their employees are high school dropouts and couldn't get a decent job if they wanted one. Stay clear of this company. All of the 5 star ratings are fake reviews written by their own employees and by companies who are paid to write positive reviews.
The customer service the most rude and unprofessional. I have been waiting 3 days to put someone to come out and service my dishwasher the company that first premiere supposed to have had to come out has been lying ever since Monday. 01-29-2024. They need to listen in on Customer service calls. They would not let speak to a manager or Supervisor. But first Premier Home Warranty doesn't have a Problem with getting my monthly payment.
I have been horribly taken advantage of by Vince Walker. They didn't pay the vendor, so now this contact has cost me well over $1000, while they didn't bother finishing the repairs OR paying the technician. One victim shared her story how she contacted her credit card company for a FULL refund AND filed a complaint with her state attorney general office. Because of this very determined victim she helped get them shut down. Alabama told Vince Walker best move along to another state. Please don't buy this warranty. Scam, sham, lie lie lie.
Tip for consumers:
Please reconsider when buying a home warranty. Seems all the complaints are about unpaid claims.
This company did not finish two claims then found out a year later they didn't pay the vendor either. We're looking into pressing criminal charges. They pay to post fake reviews, and Site Jabber why are you allowing them to keep removing reviews I leave on this site? I thought Site Jabber was honest?
Beware before you spend any time and money with this company. They were not able to send a simple diagnosis report to me for over a week and still pending. I have been calling their customer care everyday and just receive the same answer ("we will send it by tomorrow"). I wonder if they cannot be emaling a report which is probably the simplest of the things, how can they be trusted to do anything else. This company is junk and sucks big time. PLEASE DONT USE ANY SERVICES from this company
We recently called them to confirm our contract covers water heater replacements to which they confirmed yes it does. Based on this information, we proceeded with requesting to schedule a technician to replace the water heater. We also explained that we had an elderly mother who is inconvenienced with non-functional water heater in NYC cold weather. Several days after the technician provided photos to First Premier and submitted the claim to replace, we were informed by the technician that the claim was denied (no reason provided). We emailed First Premier requesting an update on the claim and never received a response. When we called to inquire, the representative was rude and kept us on a never ending hold.
I purchased a First Premier extended warranty and it has been a complete disaster. My air conditioner broke down shortly after buying it, but First Premier denied my claim and provided a minimal compensation that didn't even cover the repair costs. They even deducted it from the hefty amount I paid upfront. Stay away from First Premier! They are a fraudulent company.
Tip for consumers:
Stay away from First Premier Home Warranty
My a/c went out and when I submitted claim, there was no email or phone call to let me know of result. We do not do that was the answer. You have to contact us. After being required to furnish proof that a/c had been in working order, I was told proof that it worked 1 or 2 years ago is not proof enough. You must submit proof that a/c unit was regularly inspected for previous 3 years. They offered to buy me off when I could not furnish proof for three years. Warranty was not honored. I have emailed to cancel, no reply. Do not waste your money. Get a company that has good BBB rating.
How many negative reviews have they paid to have removed? How many positive reviews have they paid for so far? They are thieves liars and cheats. They will CHEAT YOU TOO if you ever need them for anything. They owe me money and didn't finish the only two claims I filed. I canceled just to never be forced to endure their manipulation. They probably will close soon and reopen under a different name when too many disgruntled former customers pile up. They only want your money then they'll toss you out like trash if you ever actually have a claim.
What I thought was a good company, I was Sad to learn when you have a problem, they do not have the connections, to get the people to come to your home to fix your appliances. And worst of it, was they would not replace what they could not find someone to fix. Read the fine print because it is written where they do not have to do anything, after you paid them hundreds of dollars. And then they offer you $50 for a stove repair, which we refused, they actually fight with you on the phone, or avoided to answer the phone. We sent them a certified letter, which they never received. They are located in Brooklyn NY, and love to get your money, and try to make offers of different amounts of money, pushy salespeople. My advice, stay away from them, no matter what the cost it, and you think your saving money, you will never get the serviced promised. Warning to all consumers, even when the contract ran out, they keep calling us and sending emails to buy it again. Noone knows what the others are doing.
I wish someone would have told me before I gave them our hard-earned money.! BEAWARE before you buy!
Don't trust these scammers and don't buy warranty from this company Scam company sending unlicensed technicians that don't understand and speak English Absolutely horrible coverage - They give pennies when you spend thousands on policy purchase Absolutely horrendous customer service and Supervisor is too rude Instead of resolving the issues, they put our account on hold.
SPOKE WITH TEN CONTRACTORS AND NONE OF THEM WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH FIRST PREMIERE HOME WARRANTY, OR ANY OTHER HOME WARRANTY COMPANY. I signed up in June 2023, PAID $62 a month. When in July I called for an HVAC.technician, the contractor they referred me to refused to have anything to do with First Premiere HW. I called nine other contractors and same story. So, there are NO contractors who will use these scammers, who don't pay them. If you can't get a contractor then you can't get any value for your monthly payment. I CANCELLED my policy on July 25, disputed the charges to my VISA card, and First Premiere HW charged me past my cancellation for August and September! CRIMINALS and THEIVES. I have disputed those two months of illegal charges and am awaiting the outcome. DO NOT USE HOME WARRANTY COMPANIES UNLESS YOU HAVE SPOKEN FIRST WITH YOUR LOCAL CONTRACTORS! GOOD LUCK.

First Premier Home Warranty Thieves! Trust Pilot has discovered this company plants fake reviews and you want to take a chance?
Pay close attention to their negative reviews as it's a possibility that Vince Walker pays for positive online content AND pays to remove honest negative reviews. First Premier Home Warranty Thieves as I know first hand when they never paid the vendors OR finished the two claims that I filed. Complete and total rip off. This past November I was contacted by the appliance store telling me FPHW bailed out, so it's me that needs to pay the bill.
Thankfully my credit card company reversed charges. I finally was able to get my appliances repaired, but to warn you this was nearly a two year ordeal. These guys will waste tons of time.
Help get First Premier Home Warranty banned from your state. File a complaint with your attorney general's office, and then make sure you file a dispute with the credit card you used. I did and got ALL my money back.
Vince Walker owner of First Premier Home Warranty should be in prison. If they burned you too then you must report them to your attorney general's office. We who have had money stolen must speak up. First Premier Home Warranty liars thieves cheats. First Premier Home Warranty Brooklyn, NY they use an address that's suspicious. Look it up on Google.
Tip for consumers:
Please understand if you are a victim your only recourse is to either sue in small claims or dispute with the charges requesting reversal. Then file a complaint with your attorney general!

They never finished a claim. They never paid the companies. They thought they stole my money but I won this VICTORY!!! Original premium they charged me was refunded because they truly are thieves.
The first premier home warranty,This is a fraud company, they don't refund your money, they don't take care of the claims. Please don't get cheated. Don't trust them.
It's a far stretch giving one star to this horrible, rude, nasty, scammy, so called company. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN, AWAY TO SOMEONE ELSE. Nobody else could be this bad. THE RUDEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER ENOUNTERED. They are not upfront about their exclusions. Which are many. I have never been talked to so rudely by a representative of a company. They were condescending, liars, nasty, hateful people. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY. I hope my honest review can save someone from the horrors of having to deal with these scam artists. Well, no, they are not artists, they are just nasty liars.
And NOW, they won't stop calling me to renew my policy! I've told 4-5 people NO, I will never deal with your company again, and they just keep calling. One of them had the audacity to say I didn't have to get rude with them. After I stopped laughing, at this coming from the rudest people ever, I told them what they could do to themselves.
Tip for consumers:
do not do business with this horrible company
Bought 5 home warranties from First Premier HW - one a 3 yr contract. After 2 excruciating episodes of attempting to make a legitimate claims on suddenly broken items (after the 30 day wait period) which items were clearly covered per the policy we were provided by FPHW before we paid for the policy, we decided to CANCEL all our policies. The cheating continued, with FPHW interpreting their cancellation policy to their advantage, and not explaining why they were keeping so much of our money, which should have been pro rata refunded to us upon cancellation. FPHW stated they paid a $60 service fee to a contractor they sent out on one of our claims. This was a BLATANT LIE. We paid the $60 to the contractor and even obtained an email from the contractor stating FPHW never even contacted the contractor or paid the fee! The cancellation form they sent me, which FPHW demands I sign before they will cancel my policy and refund my money says, "by signing this form, I release FPHW for any and all liability in connection with this policy and agree to have any current or pending complaints or actions withdrawn and/or considered resolved. I also agree that this amount is final, and that if the full or any portion of the por-rated amount/administrative/service cost fee be contested, the entire said account will go to Collections and may significantly impact the credit score." WHAT? IS FPHW THREATENING TO RUIN MY CREDIT SCORE -? WHEN THEY ARE THE THEIVES, THUGS, LIARS AND CHEATS? DESPICABLE STAY FAR AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE.
Attached are copies pages from the BAIT policy which was only 6 pages long and the SWITCH policy 19 pages.
Great company they fixed my ac unit if it stopped cooling this past weekend.
All i needed to pay was my service deductible to the technician.
I had a microwave claim with first premier the customer service was top class they did a great job.
Awesome experience with Jake, he was very clear and patient and answered all my questions.
Roy at First Premier Home Warranty. The sales guy.
I have attempted to secure service from Premier Home Warranty. It was for two water valves which are frozen and will not turn off. They are for where my new washer will go. I asked to have them replaced. I was on hold a total of 1 hour and 37 minutes as I tried to secure assistance in setting up a plumber to come to my condo which I am remodeling so i can live in it.
I SPOKE WITH TWO PEOPLE WHO DID NOT ASSIST ME.
The first person was a female who did not send an email as she said she would.
The second was a man who sent an email, but it was for an appliance repair. I don't have my appliances in the condo yet!
So, it is very obvious to me that First Premier Home Warranty WAS "NOT" A GOOD CHOICE FOR A HOME WARRANTY PROGRAM.
Therefore, I WANT TO KNOW THE PROCESS IN HOW TO CANCEL THIS USELESS WARRANTY PROGRAM!
I will not wait online for 15, 20, 25 plus minutes to even reach a person for services. Then once you reach someone, they are clueless in satisfying my needs!
CANCEL THIS PROGRAM IMMEDIATELY AND REFUND MY MONEY IMMEDIATELY!
No stress, no worries, First Premier takes care of your home so you can relax.
Quick and professional service technicians – First Premier partners with the best in the business.
DO NOT GET THIS WARRANTY COMPANY!
They are Scamming us to get money but not provide service. Amazing sales guys but will not cover your claim. I paid for 6 years and after a year when I finally had a claim they made up things to not approve my claim and Todd Pearson - Operations Manager was extremely rude and accusatory although i provided all the supporting documentation. You will do more work with 0 outcome. They just want your money.
I paid for a specialist to come diagnose my HVAC system and they gave their recommendation to First Premier Home Warranty, I had to call and reach out over 6 times to get a status and next steps then they asked for 3 years of maintenance report which i provided and then they asked for proof of payments which point i was fed up as i spend more hours trying to provide reasonable documentations then i should! Next, ask for my birth certificate?
When I asked to have my money refunded and whom I can talk to about this deeply unsatisfactory service they wouldn't provide that info and got extremely rude.
I would have rather flushed that money down the toilet then pay to company that just wants to scam you when you need them the most.
I am a first time customer and I am very impressed with their service. Will definitely recommend.
The reliability of First Premier sets them apart in the home warranty industry.
Fast, efficient and reliable….my dryer went out on me and they took care of me.
