Coverage Details and Limitations

Pricing, covered appliances/systems, plan details, and other limitations may vary from contract to contract. When receiving a quote or signing up for coverage with First Premier, ensure you ask for all of this information before signing your contract.

As with many competitors, First Premier charges an annual premium for warranty coverage.

In addition to this premium, customers will have to pay a service fee directly to a contractor each time a contractor is called in for a service request. A service fee can cost anywhere from $75–$150.


Contractors & Customer Service

First Premier customers are never responsible for finding or contacting a service professional when an appliance or system breaks down. After a customer makes a service request, First Premier selects a nearby technician from its professional contact list and sends them your way.

Customers can contact First Premier representatives via telephone, email, or online portal. The simplest way to make a service request is through the online portal available on the First Premier website.


Making a Service Request

If you are already a First Premier customer, follow these steps when an appliance or system breaks down:

  1. Ensure the system or appliance failure does not place residents in danger. If it does, consider calling 911.
  2. Double-check that the malfunctioning system or appliance is covered by your warranty.
  3. Contact a First Premier Home Warranty representative via email, phone, or through the online portal. If you feel the loss of the system or appliance presents a non-life-threatening emergency (e.g. loss of heat in the winter), be sure to note the emergency in your service request.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Home warranty plans typically cover a home’s appliances and systems. Some home warranty plans offer add-on coverage for pools, spas, electronics, and more.
Home warranty plans average $40/mo., plus the price of a service charge per service request. A service charge is typically paid out directly to the technician and costs an average of $125.
For many homeowners, a home warranty plan is absolutely worth the money. As a homeowner, the cost of repairs and replacements to the systems and appliances in your home can quickly stack up. The financial burden of the low monthly premium for a home warranty is much easier to shoulder than a sudden $2,000+ replacement charge.
