First Premier Home Warranty Review

First Premier Home Warranty offers two types of home warranty coverage. The Premier Plan provides coverage for a range of systems and appliances. The Premier Platinum Plan gives you the coverage provided by the Premier Plan, with extra coverage for air conditioning systems and washers/dryers.

First Premier Home Warranty offers two types of home warranty, with an extensive list of optional extras should you want additional coverage. Most home warranty providers offer a plan for systems, appliances, and a combination plan. Yet, First Premier only offers two levels of combination plans.

Optional Extras

First Premier has a long list of optional extras to add to a policy if you want extra coverage. This ensures that you only pay for coverage of items related to you. The following list details the optional items available and their annual cost:

  • Pool/Spa – $150
  • Additional Spa – $150
  • Limited Roof Leak – $50
  • Central Vacuum – $25
  • Sump Pump – $25
  • Well Pump – $75
  • Septic System – $100
  • Septic Plumbing – $60
  • Second Refrigerator – $35
  • Stand Alone Freezer – $35
  • Water Softener – $35
  • Refrigerator Ice Maker – $35
  • Free Standing Ice Maker – $50
  • Additional A/C System – $75
  • Additional Heating System -$75
  • Additional Water Heater – $75
  • Additional Garage Door Opener – $50
  • Additional Over Range – $60
  • Sprinkler System – $50

Pricing and Coverage

Pricing is not available on the First Premier website until after going through the quote process. However, what is more concerning is that there is no list of exclusions available until after the sign-up process. We strongly recommend that if you have queries about the coverage levels, you contact First Premier customer service before entering into a contract. Contracts are 12 months long, and no home inspection is required to buy a First Premier home warranty.

Customer Support

First Premier’s excellent customer service reputation was reinforced when we reached out to the team. You can contact the home warranty provider via online form, email, or phone call. First Premier is known for its responsiveness to online forms, so we got in touch this way. We were contacted within 20 minutes with a helpful reply and arranged a call back for later in the day. The service received was as good as expected. Full contact details of how to get in touch with First Premier as shown below.

Privacy & Security

There are no adverse online reports about First Premier and how the home warranty provider treats customer data. This is usually the best indicator that a company has the correct procedures in place to handle customer safety. However, when reviewing First Premier’s website, we noticed that the Privacy Policy online was not available. Therefore, if you have any questions about how First Premier handles your personal data, it is best to contact the company directly.

In Conclusion

First Premier Home Warranty offers affordable home warranties and excellent customer service. Sure, its pricing is not clear online, but after our inquiry, we established that they are one of the best-priced home warranty products in the market. For these reasons, we believe that a First Premier home warranty is worth looking into. However, there is no example contract, list of payout caps, or list of exclusions. So, if you have any questions about these items, ensure that you contact First Premier customer service first.
