File a home warranty service request online anytime, from any device, in minutes.

Your First American Home Warranty account is your 24/7 home command center. Whether you’re filing a service request, checking coverage, tracking service progress, or tapping into exclusive member benefits, your Homeowner Center makes it easy to manage your home warranty anywhere, anytime.

Here are three ways to get the most out of your First American home warranty account online.

1. Submit a Home Warranty Service Request Online Anytime

When a covered home system or appliance breaks, you want it fixed fast. Your Homeowner Center lets you submit a home warranty service request online in just a few clicks. It’s the simplest way to file a home warranty claim online, day or night. Simply sign in to your account (or create one) from your phone, laptop, or desktop and click Request New Service.

Once your service request is submitted, you follow your home warranty claim status online from the Homeowner Center dashboard. You can also opt in to receive text notifications about your request.

2. Check Your Coverage Details Before You File

Unsure what your plan covers? A quick home warranty coverage check is easy from your Homeowner Center — no paperwork needed. It gives you instant visibility into your coverage details, covered systems and appliances, and contract terms.

After you sign in, click Coverage in the menu bar. Under Coverage Details, you’ll see what’s included in your home warranty plan, along with any additional coverage options and upgrades you’ve purchased. You can click each item to view specifics and limitations and download or print your contract for easy reference.  

Understanding your home warranty coverage is important because knowing what’s covered (and what’s not) before submitting a home warranty service request saves time and sets the right expectations.  

3. Manage Your Account and Access Member Benefits

Your Homeowner Center is more than a claims portal; it’s where you manage your entire home warranty relationship with First American. From one dashboard, you can:

  • Pay your service fees online
  • Track home warranty claim status
  • Review your Current Coverage and renew your home warranty coverage
  • Download your free Home Maintenance Guide (My Account → Resources)
  • Update your contact and billing information
