California Home Warranty

California Home Warranties and You

The main reason why millions of people opt for the services of home warranty companies in California is the added level of security they can offer. Home systems and appliances can fail at any time, and dealing with a broken air conditioning unit in the middle of a scorching summer is not something you want.

What’s more, expenses for repairing or replacing systems and appliances can range from a few hundred to many thousands of dollars, which can put a strain on your wallet and cause countless inconveniences.

On the other hand, when you work with one of the top rated California home warranty companies, First American Home Warranty, you can take advantage of our large network of contractors and get your problem solved quickly. You also have peace of mind knowing that your budget is protected when a covered item breaks. In most cases all you may pay is a low, set service fee for the visit.

Our plans cover most of the main appliances and home systems that you might have and we don’t require a home inspection or have a limit for the age of your equipment. You can be sure that we can offer a plan that’s right for your situation.
