RevDex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. Since I myself have to pay for the test that HSA has approved and HSA refuses to tell me how much of a new system I will be financially liable for (assuming either a 3,4 or 5 ton unit), I cannot spend any more money.I've already paid their 1st repairman $400 for a unit that is not working. They want another $75 for the second inspection that they promised would be free and an additional $250 for a test on a unit that I may most likely have to pay for myself (since they refuse to give any information on that regard).Their own technician at Carolina Air Heating and Cooling admitted to me that HSA does not approve major repairs for 10 year old units, where less than one year of time on the warranty has passed........and we have a one year warranty.My complaint has not been resolved in any way.Regards, [redacted]

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below While I do not agree with and am still very unhappy with hsa, I will end my complaint at this time Because they would not cancel the contract, I kept the service call I had scheduled for the broken dishwasher These folks are paying just below $to fix a dishwasher that didn't cost that much brand new and I was going to buy a new one for $ Not very smart! I hope this complaint helps to lower their Revdex.com score [redacted] ***

Your account will be corrected to reflect this and you should no longer receive billingPlease allow billing cycles or days to stop seeing the billingThank you

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below The business does not acknowledge my previous response and is therefore not responding in a concrete matterIf HSA is not accepting my valid claim for a higher reimbursement, I want this to go to mediation Regards, [redacted]

HSA has received the customers invoice but has been unable to speak to the technician from the service company At this time HSA is unable to make any approvability on the claim with out speaking to the technician The service company may also have the technician call the vendor hotline at ###-###-#### to finalize the claim Thank you

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint HSA has not addressed the specific language of the contract that states the claim "may not be reimbursed if prior notice is not given", rather than "will not." The use of the word "may" implies that some claims are still, indeed, reimbursedIt lists no specific criteria as to why some claims "may" or may not be reimbursed if prior notice is not givenTherefore, the response provided by HSA that failure to provide prior notice is insufficient as the sole reason to automatically deny my claimIt is extremely misleading to use the words "may not be reimbursed" to the consumer, who might safely assume that due to very extenuating and emergency situations (including those that are medical) is unable to provide prior notice, that an effort would be made by HSA to investigate the claim and offer a chance at reimbursementGiven the language HSA uses in this contract, specifically the statement "MAY not be reimbursed", it seems reasonable that I would like my claim to be considered for some sort of reimbursement given the situation I was physically unable to give prior noticeAny consumer that considers entering a contract with HSA, should be cautious that the company may not follow the guidelines written within its own contractWe have been extremely disappointed that the company failed to make any attempt to assist us in a very emergency situation in a remote area, but rather offers hope to consumers with very misleading language in its contractBuyer beware!

Per the contract, HSA is not responsible for moving obstructions including, but not limited to, buiappliances, systems, cabinets, tile and floor coverings or pulling and resetting a sink, shower or bathtub to access a failure The removal of the sink, if needed, would be the homeowner's responsibility

Answers to the homeowner's questions: 1) The contract states that HSA will replace with SEER or HSPF equipment, 2) The delay came from HSA trying obtain leak search results from the vendor to determine coverage and once coverage was determined, HSA needed a break down of the pricing for the full system replacement per the terms and conditions of the contract, 3) With the current specifications of SEER efficiency, there is no guarantee the evaporator coil will ever exactly match without any modifications to the existing furnace, & 5) The condensing unit was not failing and HSA does not approve to replace a component part that is not failing Vendors are always welcome to make recommendations for full system replacement, but the vendor also stated that the evaporator coil would function properly with the current condensing unit that is present, and 6) The price that HSA approved was for the service call, leak search and parts and labor for the evaporator coil, which was the only approvable component part failing
