The Office of the President at Home Buyers Resale Warranty Corporation ("HBRWC") is in receipt of the inquiry submitted under case number XXXXXXXX by *** ***Thank you for the opportunity to review and respond
We do apologize for
any frustration or inconvenience that Mr*** may have experienced during the service request handling processOur records indicate on the evening of July 7, a service request was initiated as the air conditioning not cooling the homeThe service request was dispatched to Adjustable Plumbing Heating & Cooling Services ("Adjustable") who scheduled an appointment the next business day and provided a diagnosis on July 9, indicating that the compressor needed to be replacedHBRWC was unable to authorize Adjustable to perform the compressor replacement as we were not provided the contractor's cost for the repairOn July 13, HBRWC received the total cost breakdown from Adjustable and authorized the service request, as well as ordered the compressor the same dayIn an attempt to allow Mr*** to obtain sooner service outside of our network, HBRWC offered a buyout of $for the compressor repair and the offer was declined
HBRWC communicated with Mr*** on July 14, that the compressor would arrive within business hoursOn July 15, 2015, HBRWC advised Mr*** that the compressor would be available no later than July 17thOn July 17, HBRWC advised Mr*** to contact Adjustable regarding an appointment for the compressor repair if he had not heard from the contractor already as the compressor was available for installation
On July 23, HBRWC set up a recall dispatch request to Adjustable as Mr*** explained that the air conditioner was still not cooling after the compressor was replaced the previous dayOn August 8, HBRWC received a diagnosis from Adjustable indicating that the compressor would not turn on as there was a manufacturer defect with the part; therefore, Adjustable was authorized to exchange the faulty compressor and attempt another repairThe repair was completed on August 18,
We apologize for the delay in response regarding the requests for a return call from a supervisor Mr*** had stated he had requested and we further apologize for not having record of these requestsAdditionally, our records show that Mr*** had called in to HBRWC on several instances to check the status of the repairOur company strives to provide fast, reliable service and anything less than acceptable will be evaluated internally
At this time, the air conditioning system is functioning and there is no indication that a full system replacement is necessary after the compressor repair had been madeAlthough we are unable to honor Mr*** request for a full system replacement, we will be able to offer a reimbursement of the $service fee that was paid to Adjustable as a gesture of goodwill and not by admission of liabilityMr*** will receive his $reimbursement within 7-business days
We thank Mr*** for bringing his to our attention so we may evaluate the matter further, and we look forward to serving his future warranty needs

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 11, 2015/09/18) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
First off, I would like to say thank you for at least trying to make things right and reaching out to me
However, in keeping pace with the service I have come to expect from 2-10, it took days to receive this response, on the last day, before further escalation (Filled case 8/18/15)
I don't know how offering a payout of $is considered trying to help, as other companies I called outside of 2-(while they were sitting on their hands for almost months) quoted $1100-for the workOffering to pay for half of a repair isn't helping
As I mentioned to "Adjustable", all I expect is for my A/C unit to function to the same level it had functioned for the first years I was in the house, before it broke downThis is not the caseEven after the 2nd compressor was installed, the house is not cooling as it should and used toThe techs never could get that air coming out of my vents to temperature while on-site, but left me with the message that "It should start getting cooler..."Well, it did notMy unit was running on average hours out of the day (I have a Nest thermostat, so I can check history reports) and never getting to the desired temperature setI would keep my unit a degreesWhen I would get home from work, my house would be ~78-degrees inside depending on external temperaturesIt would get to temperature around AM, then the temp would just continue to rise throughout the day, as the unit was running
I am sorry but $is not going to make my unit function as it should, so I will not be accepting this as the resolutionIf would like to return $service fee paid to "Adjustable", as well as the year coverage fee I paid to 2-($638.00) for "service", I would accept that as a resolution, as it might cover what I would have to pay an accredited service provider to get my A/C functioning properly
Please let me know how you would like to proceed

Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 16, 2015/10/12) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I DO NOT accept thisMy A/C unit has been shutdown for close to 3-weeks nowI would hope that my system is able to cool my house to a higher temperature then it is outsideThat is like asking me to see if my furnace is able to heat my house in AugustI don't know how to verify this when it is out of season??? The problem IS and HAS BEEN that the A/C no longer gets my house to temperature as it did the previous years I have lived there since it was repairedI set my internal degreesWhen I would arrive home from work my house would be somewhere between 76-degreesThe only time I would hit temperature is when I would be asleep overnight
I don't see this as offering any further solutionBasically I am reading it as "You can hire your own company, once they get there and diagnose the problem, we MIGHT cover SOME cost"
Here are a few reviews from the company you sent to my house from Yelp where they have a star rating:
"Worst service ever! Wish I could put NO STARI would never use this company ever again
I was referred to them by my warranty company to fix my a/c unit for my condo and it took them several months and several no shows to finally fix the a/c
I had to call to schedule my own appointment and was told the day of my appointment that it was never scheduled and this happened two times! I was hung up on two times by the front desk lady name Donna who always acts like she doesn't know anything, but is the one that sets up my appointments that was never put into the book
I was able to speak to the owner *** who at first I thought was genuine and cared and was going to really help me, but he never followed through to the end as he promised to make sure I received a better experience than the firstNo one took ownership of what I was having to go through with their company so I called my warranty company to try and switch, but they recommended me to stay with Adjustable svcs since my parts were ordered alreadyThe last appointment I got from adjustable svcs was because a manager from the warranty company had to conference call them with me to make sure I got another appointment in and confirmedTrust meThis is just the short version of the BS I had to go through with his company!
I am so glad this nightmare is finally over with! I'm not sure if it's even fixed correctly since this is a rental property, but I'm going to assume it is."
"Terrible from startLazy and rudeDont expect to have anyone from the company call you to update you on repairsFlat out refuses to give you any idea when they will be to your house (good luck working that into your schedule)Combative on the phone."
"Poor customer serviceI was trying to get my house in NC serviced while we are home for vacationWaited business days for a phone call for them to schedule a serviceLeft two messages and spoke to a lady who said that she couldn't schedule me and that a tech would call me later to scheduleHe never calledHad to go with another company to have my heat fixed (it's degrees outside)"
All of what these reviews mention, I have gone thorughI had to work both sides (2-and service contractor) to get any type of action takenEven with me project managing (which I SHOULD NOT have to do), It took weeksI probably called 2-no less than times to check status of ticket, parts status, etcI did not receive any type of update or proactive measures from either 2-or the service contractor they hired unless I called in and pulled teeth to get info
At this point I would like to bring in the moderator, as we are making no progress
I believe after hearing my side of the story and how I was without A/C during the hottest months of the year for 6-Weeks for a simple compressor replacement, there should be little question as to who was in the wrongWhen you pay for a service, service should be providedThe company that was hired probably spent a total of hours at my house, over the course of 4- separate appointments, so it isn't like this was daunting work be conductedA compressor replacement should not take 6-weeksThe $offered is almost insulting at this pointEspecially because I had to go out and purchase a $window unit during the ordeal so that I could at least sleep at night in a room that was less then degrees
Final Business Response /* (4000, 18, 2015/10/21) */
The Office of the President at Home Buyers Resale Warranty ("HBRWC") is in receipt of the rebuttal submitted by Mr***Thank you for the opportunity to review further
We apologize if Mr*** is disappointed with the options providedWe regret that the terms and conditions of our Agreement are quite clear in stating that if HBRWC offers cash this amount it will be based on what HBRWC typically pays for parts and labor and that this amount is usually less than retailIn addition to this, it is important to note that not every aspect of a repair may not be eligible including but not limited to code upgrades, disposal of old equipment, and modifications necessary due to different dimensionsSince HBRWC does state we do not cover anything, Mr*** may incur out of pocket expenses whether he uses a HBRWC preferred service vendor or his ownMr*** is not required to take the cash in lieu of repairs, but this is an option available
The alternative that Ms*** has available is to allow HBRWC to send one of our preferred service vendors to the homeWe do acknowledge Ms***'s concerns with the independent service contractor Adjustable Plumbing Heating & Cooling ServicesIf Mr*** does elect this option, HBRWC will send a different contractor to the property as a second opinionIn particular, HBRWC would offer the option of a new company Accent Comfort ServicesAccent Comfort Services has an A+ rating with the Revdex.com and positive reviews on Yelp for their HVAC service
We regret that we will not be offering to reimburse the $Mr*** incurred while purchasing a window unitThis is not eligible pursuant to section B-of his Limited Home Agreement which states, "We are not liable for incidental, indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages or for bodily/personal injury or property damage."
Mr*** may contact our company by calling XXX-XXX-XXXX to discuss how he would like to proceedWe await his decision on how he would like to proceed

Mrs***’s Agreement went into effect August 22, Our records indicate on August 27, 2017, she reporting her downstairs condensing unit is freezing up outsideThe independent contractor, Air Tropics was dispatched, added lbsof refrigerant and leak sealThen on October 5, 2017, we were notified once again the unit was not coolingAir Tropics went back to the home to evaluate the air conditioner furtherThe technician found the system was void of refrigerantHe did a leak test and found multiple leaks in the indoor evaporator coilMultiple leaks do not occur in the short time the service agreement has been activeMultiple holes takes a long time to developThey holes were large enough for the leak seal not to workThe unit was not in good working condition at the start of the AgreementMrs*** was notified that the multiple holes in the evaporator coil predated the Agreement and the system was not eligible for coverage pursuant to the Terms & Conditions of the Agreement, “We provide service for covered systems and/or appliances: 3.” are in place and in good and safe working order at the beginning of the Service Agreement
Finally, as continuing evidence that the system was not in good working condition at the beginning of the Agreement, the receipt/invoice that Mrs*** was referring to was reviewedThe report states “a/c unit blower capacitor is low, evaporator coil dirtyCondenser capacitor is getting lowFreon level is low, add lbsR-FreonUnit worked ok and seems to be cooling ok.” All the contractor did to get the customer to have cool air was to add lbsof refrigerantWhen a system is lbslow on refrigerant, there is surely a leakAdding the refrigerant without identifying the reason the system leaked so much, is not a fix but a gas and go
We do apologize if Mrs*** was misinformed by a local agent that there was no pre-existing clause in the AgreementWe regret that we cannot be of further assistance in this regard2-HBW has honored their obligations as specified in the terms and conditions of the Service Agreement
