AFC Home Warranty Review

A home service contract whose distinguishing feature is that you pick your own technician. Independent AFC Home Warranty review: 3.8/5 for home warranty.

By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked September 9, 2026.

Our verdict

Per-item and per-year caps, not the monthly price, decide whether AFC's service contract pays off, and it suits homeowners who already have a technician they trust. Letting you choose that technician sidesteps network dispatch, the source of most complaints in this category. It isn't regulated as insurance in most states, so read the sample contract's exclusions and caps before the price.

Skip it if you don't have a technician you'd pick yourself, or your systems have pre-existing problems.

About AFC Home Warranty

A home service contract whose distinguishing feature is that you pick your own technician. AFC Home Warranty is offered by America's First Choice Home Club. We could not find a published customer rating for it on Trustpilot or the Better Business Bureau, so none is shown.

Best for: Homeowners who already have a technician they trust and want the cost smoothed.

Editorial grade: B (composite score 76/100).

Highlights

You choose your own licensed technician, rather than being assigned one from a network
States the longest workmanship guarantee in the category
In-house 24-hour service department
BBB accredited, per the company's own site

What we like

Choosing your own technician is the single most useful difference in this category, because network dispatch is what most home warranty complaints are actually about
An in-house service department rather than an outsourced call centre
A longer workmanship guarantee means a failed repair is their problem for longer

Where it falls short

This is a service contract, not insurance. It is not regulated as insurance in most states and there is no guaranty fund behind it
Payouts are capped per item and per year, and the caps, not the monthly price, decide whether it was worth buying
Pre-existing conditions and anything the contract calls improper maintenance are excluded, which is where most denied claims land

Fees, minimums, and rates

Monthly fee: Annual plan cost plus a per-visit service call fee. Minimum to open: Not applicable. Rates and fees last checked on September 9, 2026.
