I began receiving phone calls from (), on Tuesday, October 16, 2018, at 10:10AM. I didn not recognize the number and did not answer, and a message was left. Received another phone call on Thursday, from the same number at 5:37PM, left a 4 minute message of nothing more than people talking, laughing, and conversations on the telphone.

On Friday, October 19, 2018, at 9:08AM, I return the calls. LET ME BE CLEAR, I STILL HAD NO IDEA WHO THESE CALLS WERE COMING FROM. I spoke with Sarah, in customer service. She asked me for my name, address, and telephone number. Once it was all entered, she asked, "are you sure you called the right number?". I told her that they have been calling me on a consistent basis and leaving messages with nothing more than background noise of people talking in the background. I asked, "why are you calling my phone like this?". She had no idea and simply said, "they must be sells calls".

I already have a Home Warranty Company, that I have been with for 10 years, and have no idea where this company got my information. I insturcted them to stop calling my phone. Clearly stating, "Do Not Call Me Again".

This place is a joke. Paid $1500 for a multi-year policy. Refused to cover my AC. First technician said the unit is getting to the end of its life and he would advise Total Home. They send another technician who supposedly found our unit was not maintained properly so the claim was denied. I called to plead my case. They said the technician's word is final. Wait...Two technicians, both from Total Home, two different stories. Of course. Makes perfect sense.

Second issue was a few outlets in our kitchen not working. Technician came out and found two bad GFCI outlets. He replaced one with a standard outlet because there is supposedly a bad ground wire and he couldn't fix that. Replaced the second GFCI and we were up and running. That was a few months ago. Now, the GFCI they installed has failed. I call in a claim. They set us up with a technician who never shows up. I reschedule and he doesn't show up again. My wife calls Total Home and they say they will set up another technician. This morning I get a call. They are denying the claim. They say I have a compromised wire in the ground. Huh? I have to prove the wire was fixed before they will replace a $10 GFCI. How was the wire compromised you ask? When we replaced our fence pickets, we removed some sod to get them to line up. They say we damaged the wire during that process and their proof is the "disturbed ground" one technician saw months back! Huh? I think I would know if we disturbed a wire. I used to do major digs as a plumber and I always call Dig Alert when I go more than a few inches.

Bets part. Are you ready? Of my $1500 for a multi year policy, I'm getting less than $250 back! Why you ask? Well, $50 per year cancellation fee, plus I get to reimburse them for the work they did cover this year. Awesome! Way to go guys!

In the end, you're better off saving your money and fixing things yourself. Total Home Protection is literally the WORST and most DECEITFUL company I've ever worked with in my life.

Just say no to Total Home Protection!

The consumer placed a claim for a Air Conditioner not cooling on 7/18/2018. The diagnosis concluded that the cause of the failure was the indoor and outdoor unit were extremely dirty, the filters were impacted and the drain line is clogged. Per our policy this failure is clearly excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below;

I informed him that to me Total Home is responsible bc they are the one that send me the wrong people to come out to do the work. when I called *** he told me why should they be responsible so I called Kevin back he twisted everything said that he did not tell me to go after the Company Insurance that I was responsible bc I didnt do the maintenance or up keep of it and that what caused it and that they were not going to pay for the repairs. Kevin said he would pay $200 I paid $150 to the AC repair guy to repair my AC.

But the adjuster at Total Home Protection is denying my claim, stating that the failure is due to lack of maintenance.

The consumer placed a claim for a Heating system stating the system was leaking gas and was turned off by the city on 10/14/2018.

This company is a scam. They will not show you the fine print until after you sign up. They “guarantee” all kinds of repairs, but the fine print says otherwise. I have been without a refrigerator for a month. They said they will give me $375 for a new fridge, but I have yet to see that check. They keep giving me the run around and forcing me to go without a refrigerator and pay more fees to them. This is fraud.

The consumer took this policy out on 8/1/2018 and it became effective on 8/31/2018 with a monthly cost of $39.50.

Can you please mark the complaint as “resolved”. They want it stated that they paid me for the claim. I’d appreciate it very much.

called for AC service call, my ac was not cooling. Total home protection took two weeks to have someone come after I had to call and check three time. The guy that came out said that a valve needed to be replaced over $700 for part and labor, and of course Total Home protection said it was not covered. I was upset because this is something that should be covered as it is part of the unit. They said I have a voice mail to prove it, that they would give me a refund of the cost that I paid for the year contract, to just call them back. I decided to call a technician for a second opinion and he said it was a leak of the Freon and he fixed the leak and added Freon. Units works great and it was $350. I called Total Home protection and the manager said to send him the invoice/receipt and he would see about getting me reimbursed. I sent it in and never got a call back. I have called and spoke with Angel, Laquita, Joe, Marvin, Kevin,and many more managers and no one will help me. They said that the leak and Freon was also denied because its not something that is covered, I said fine since nothing is covered then I want the refund that I was promised by Angel (voice mail to prove it) and they disconnect my call.

We purchased a home warranty from total home protection in February of 2018 In June we had our routine air conditioning service performed with no problems noted. In July of 2018 one of our units stopped working due to rotor failure. Of course this led to overheating of the unit and as usually happens with AC failure wire failure. Although told when we purchased that air conditioning failures would be covered, because the failed system caused a secondary short to ground (due to overheating of the wires) the company refused to cover the replacement of the unit, After repeatedly sending information including copies of past maintenance on the system (we have over ten years of maintenance records)pictures and phone calls from our air conditioning company, the company still refused to cover the losses. At one point, since we were in a heat advisory they actually recommended I buy window units!

I called for service on an A/C at ***, Mesa, AZ. They responded on Oct. 8th. They denied the claim, saying that they don't cover A/C units that fail due to " short to ground". I reviewed there policy and didn't find a "short to ground" disclaimer. I called on Oct. 10 to discuss the issue and was directed to a supervisor "Joe" and further to "resolution Manager", Kevin. Both gave me the same answer, but admitted that the policy didn't mention "short to Ground", but still denied the claim. I think that when comparing their advertising and how they hide behind find print is appalling.

I purchased a Warranty from Total Protection in April. I have file 2 claims and been denied both for service because the written P O states issues to be repaired different from the actual service needed. I feel it is beeing fraudulantly written so they don't have to pay for legitimate repairs.
1st item was a water heater in one unit that the pilot would not remain lit. The report said the tank was leaking, that had nothing to do with the pilot. So they wouldn't pay for repairs. My report does not state that and my tenant said it was not leaking. I had my own plumber go out and repair the pilot light and he said the tank was NOT LEAKING.

2nd item is current, the SHOWER VALVE STEM BROKE. I have pictures of the area where the stem should be but isn't. Their report states the handle was broken so they won't fix that. I can't put a handle on NO STEM. I told the rep from the warranty company that it was a valve not a handle and he said the plumber stated it was a handle,.Again I have the report from the plumber and it is not a handle.
The company is re writing reports stating items are not under warranty in order not to pay for service.

I have asked them to tell me how to cancel the warranty as it is useless. They won't tell me and they keep saying they will have someone call me. its been a week and no one will return my calls. I feel they are lying and just making money on policies they don't honor and I want my money back for the cost of the policy.

Total Home Protection properly addressed this review and cited applicable sections of the policy, which are grounds for denial of coverage. All home service contracts have inclusions as well as exclusions. In this case the water heaterfailure was as a result of a non-covered condition.

The vendor called in a verbal diagnosis who advised the valve stem was broken. The valve stem is part of the fixture which holds the handle which is not covered under the warranty.

F. Plumbing System and Stoppage

Note: Mainline stoppages are only covered if there is an accessible ground level clean out.

COVERED: Leaks and breaks of water, drain, gas, waste or vent lines, except if caused by freezing or roots; toilet tanks, bowls and mechanisms within the toilet tank (replaced with builder’s grade as necessary); toilet wax ring seals; valves for shower, tub, and diverter angle stops, rinses and gate valves; permanently installed interior sump pumps; built-in bathtub whirlpool motor and pump assemblies; stoppages and/or clogs in drain and sewer lines up to 100 feet from access point.

Rough finish is defined to include hanging of drywall, patching of drywall, stucco, and lath. Repair to rough finish does not include supplies or labor for paint, sanding, wall texture, wallpaper and/or tile work.

NOT COVERED: All plumbing in or under the ground, foundation or slab; all piping and plumbing outside of the perimeter of the foundation; any piping or plumbing in a detached structure; stoppage of concrete encased lines; any fees for locating, accessing or installing cleanouts; removal of water closets/toilets in order to clear stoppages, any fees for photo/video equipment, hydro-jetting equipment; jet or steam clearing; chemicals; stoppages caused by root invasion; stoppages caused by foreign objects, such as but not limited to, sanitary wipes, toys, bottle caps, etc.; bath tubs; toilet lids and seats; sinks; cracked porcelain; basket and strainers; pop-up assemblies; tub waste overflow; glass; bidets; electronic toilets/bidets; caulking or grout; color or purity of the water in the system; concrete encased plumbing; conditions of insufficient or excessive water pressure; conditions of water flow restriction due to scale, rust, sediment, and other deposits; exterior hose bibs; faucets and fixtures; water softeners; freeze damage; holding and pressure tanks; jet pumps; laundry tubs; lawn sprinkler systems; saunas and/or steam systems; polybutylene or quest piping; galvanized drain lines; drum traps; flange; repair and finish of any floors where it is necessary to break through to effect repairs; septic tanks and systems in or outside of the home; sewage ejector pumps; sewer and water laterals; shower enclosures and base pans.

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed as Answered]

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: 1. The water heater was not working, as per technician and my tenant conversation it needed the burner unit to keep lit. Warranty company changed the order to say the tank was leaking and that is not covered by warranty, TANK WAS NOT AND IS NOT LEAKING. I had burner unit and Thermocoupler replaced which was under warranty at a cost of $300

The contract states in 2nd line under covered: VALVES FOR SHOWER,. In the response letter it clearly says the stem VALVE was broken. The Stem and VALVE are one and the same, you CANNOT REPLACE JUST THE STEM. it is attached to the VALVE. The warranty company wants to make you believe they are separate items. They are not. The VALVE should have been replaced. I paid $350 for that repair.

I DID NOT ACCEPT $200 goodwill because that is such an insult after spending over $1400 for warraties that were not honored and repairs not done.

In both cases they have changed P Os to reflect not covered items instead of what was actually wrong with the heater and shower. I feel I have been defrauded, lied to and scammed.

Regards

This company failed to replace my A/C unit. They stated that is was too old and not maintained. I have records that the A/C unit was maintained yearly.

Now I am experiencing the second problem with Total Home Protection (THP) not honoring their my policy. My freezer/ref. started getting warmer and then it would be okay (and repeating this cycle) with the exception that the ice maker is failing and the compressor is making a noise. I am unable to use the freezer for the past two weeks. They stated that if I get a second opinion stating that there is a problem and that the coils were not compacted with dust and dirt. I got the second opinion and I sent the findings to them and have not heard anything... THP lied at the beginning stating that the coil was compacted and that is what caused the ref. to fail. There repair person never even look at the ref.

Thank you contacting us with the above referenced complaint. We at Total Home Protection treat each complaint with the utmost respect and use this feedback to better serve our valued customers. Understandably there are two sides to every story and always look for a fair resolution between all parties.

The consumer placed a claim for a Air Conditioner tripping the breaker on 8/16/2018. The diagnosis concluded that the cause of the failure was the compressor shorted to ground. Per our policy this failure is clearly excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below;

I. BASIS FOR COVERAGE

A. Air Conditioning System

Note: Coverage available on Air Conditioning units up to a 5-ton capacity, and for residential use only.

COVERED: Mechanical parts and components of two (2) ducted electric central air conditioning systems. All components and parts for units below 13 SEER and/or R-22 equipment, and when we are unable to facilitate repair and/or replacement of failed covered equipment at the current SEER rating or with R-22 equipment, repair and/or replacement will be performed with 13 SEER/R410A equipment and/or 7.7 HSPF or higher compliant, except:

NOT COVERED: Filters; condenser casings; registers and grills; water towers; humidifiers; chillers; electronic air cleaners; window units; non-ducted wall units; mini-split wall units; gas air conditioning systems; water evaporative coolers; swamp coolers; condensate pumps; thermal expansion valves; all exterior condensing, cooling and pump pads; disconnect boxes; roof mounts, jacks, stands or supports; cost for crane rentals; electronic, computerized, and manual systems management and zone controllers; commercial grade equipment; refrigerant conversion; leak detections; water leaks; drain line stoppages or drain pans; maintenance; rusted and/or corroded coils; component short to ground; noise without a related mechanical failure; improperly sized units; air conditioning with mismatched condensing unit and evaporative coil per manufacturer specifications; improper use of metering devices (i.e. thermal expansion valves). We are not responsible for the costs associated with matching dimensions, brand or color made. We will not pay for any modifications or upgrades necessitated by the repair of existing equipment or the installation of new equipment. We will pay up to $10 per pound per occurrence for refrigerant. You are responsible for payment of any costs in excess of $10 per pound.

The consumer had a Refrigerator claim on 9/4/2017, we were advised that the compressor was failing. The coil was clean but the vendor was unsure if there was freon in the unit. The part was no longer available for repair so we offered the consumer $450.00 as per the policy.

U. We have the sole right to determine whether a covered system or appliance will be repaired or replaced. We are responsible for installing replacement equipment of similar features, capacity, and efficiency, but not for matching dimensions, brand or color. We are not responsible for upgrades, components, parts, or equipment required due to the incompatibility of the existing equipment with the replacement system or appliance or component or part thereof or with new type of chemical or material utilized to run the replacement equipment including, but not limited to, differences in technology, refrigerant requirements, or efficiency as mandated by federal, state, or local governments. If parts are no longer available, we will offer a cash payment in the amount of the average cost between parts and labor of the covered repair. We reserve the right to locate parts at any time. We are not liable for replacement of entire systems or appliances due to obsolete, discontinued or unavailability of one or more integral parts. However, we will provide reimbursement for the costs of those parts determined by reasonable allowance for the fair value of like parts. We reserve the right to rebuild a part or component, or replace with a rebuilt part or component.

The consumer then placed a claim on 9/25/2018 for a Refrigerator the customer purchased from the buyout on 9/4/2017 stating the freezer was not freezing, and there was an issue with the icemaker. The diagnosis we received from the vendor was the condenser coil was partially clogged and the compressor failed. Our Authorizations team determined this was a lack of maintenance failure which is not covered under the policy. When a coil gets partially clogged or completely clogged, it causes the unit to over heat and the compressor to fail. The consumer did not have optional ice maker coverage for the failure with the ice maker.

The consumer requested to cancel with a full refund. The policy was purchased on 7/17/2017 and he requested to cancel 10/11/2018. As per the policy

XII. CANCELLATION

C. Mutual agreement of us and you. If this Agreement is canceled after thirty (30) days, you shall be entitled to a pro rata refund at the standard contract fee rate for the unexpired term, less a $50 administrative fee and any service costs incurred by us. If we have provided services and the amount of the service costs incurred by us is greater than the contract fees paid, then no refund will be due to you. All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing.Payments are $35.33 per month for 16 months totaling 565.28. We incurred costs of $570.00 and there is a $50.00 administrative fee, which was waived. In an effort to provide good customer service we offered the consumer $70.00 which he accepted.

All claims have been properly serviced in accordance with the Service Agreement - all contracts have inclusions as well as exclusions. We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our customers, contractors, employees, and our company.

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: This outfit are just a bunch of phonies. They advertise that when you have a problem they will either repair or replace the appliance within your household. Instead of replacing our ref. they finally gave me $450 were they started out at $200. I asked them where will I find a new ref. for $450. They had no comment. So I purchased a used ref. with the $450 they gave to me. Then 13-months past and the used ref. stops working. They sent a repair person to look at the ref. It was discovered the compressor and ice maker needs replacing. Then they called me told me they were not going to repair it because I failed to clean the condenser coils. The repairman did not even access the condenser coils when he was here. They told me to get a second opinion in which I did. Then they called back telling me that I was not supposed to buy as used ref. with the money they paid ($450) me last year. They told me I was to buy a new ref. and since I did not buy a new ref. they are turning my claim down. Then they offered $50 for the second opinion and $20 for I not sure what that was for.

They asked me to sign a affidavit stating I would not turn to social media. I voided that part and returned it to them. Anyone wanting to join me in a class action suit I would like for you to join us...

This company states that they will play for plumbing issues in the house, including plumbing systems. We tried to file a complaint about part of the plumbing system going out and they wouldn't pay for it or even send someone out to correctly diagnose what was going on. When we said the toilet was moving and leaking, they sent a roto rooter company who cannot fix plumbing system issues. They refused to send anyone else when those people said that it was not something they worked on. I also ended up having to get someone on my own to fix my water heater last time and it took over a month to get reimbursed. Now I'm having a water heater issue again and yet again they assign me to a roto rooter company.

We purchased a policy with Total Home Protection (THP) when we purchased our home this past spring. We paid for a year’s protection up front, which included two extra months of protection. We were led to believe that we would have total home protection over this time, including our well pump which was added at an additional price. We were charged $401.80 for this policy.
Our first experience with a claim began on Saturday, August 3 when our downstairs AC went out. I called their number and was on an automated hold for over 90 minutes. I called using another phone while the first one remained on hold and was told the lines were down due to a bad storm. I was told I would be sent an email with contractor info, but “it may take a while”. I mentioned we live in Florida, and it’s August, and needed it fixed ASAP. The representative said he would send an email with a reimbursement form. We waited 48 hours and had not received an email, so on Monday at 9:00 AM we scheduled the repair to be done. A couple hours later we received an email from THP, but by then the repair had been made. Later that week I emailed the reimbursement request. After multiple attempts I finally reached THP only to be told the claim was denied because the repairs we had done were not covered by our warranty. This repair cost us $241.56.
Our second experience was just prior to Labor Day weekend when an electrical part of our hot water tank shorted out and threw a breaker. We called Wednesday morning (prior to Labor Day weekend) specifically saying we needed an electrician. We explained what happened. She said it would be covered and we would receive the email with an electrician’s contact information. All this time we have no hot water. On Friday we received an email from THP with contact info- for a plumber. Knowing we would be without hot water almost a week if we had to wait for the email with the correct contractor (an electrician), we called an electrician and had it fixed on Friday afternoon, so that we would only be without water for 2 days rather than 6 days. Again we tried to submit a claim, only to be told it wasn’t covered because it had not been pre-authorized. This repair cost us $137.48.
Our third attempt at a claim came in September when we lost all water. We called THP immediately. By the afternoon we had not heard back from them, so we had a repairman come out to the house and we called THP again when the repairman arrived. We spent an hour on the phone with THP talking with us and also with the repairman. They denied the claim, saying what had to be done to get the well pump working was not covered under the policy. In trying to get correct information to the THP representatives as we pursued this, the next day the repairman again spoke to THP. Still the claim was denied. This repair cost us $433.20.
When I attempted to appeal the third claim denial, THP offered me $100 providing I sign a “release”. The release stated I could not file any negative reviews and any complaints already filed must be marked as resolved. I declined this. These claims are all appropriate, legitimate claims that should have been covered under the policy we were led by this company and its representatives to believe we had purchased. If THP refuses to honor these claims, then we feel we are entitled in the very least to a 100% refund of our premium ($401.80) as this policy is not what was represented to us. We were never told before paying for this policy that we couldn’t use our own repairmen, or that we would have to go DAYS before we could get repairs done, or that there would be MULTIPLE exclusions, or that this policy wasn’t even close to being total home protection. On October 9, a representative from THP contacted me offering the $401.80, but only if I sign a release form. In my opinion this is not an offer I can even consider. I did tell them although I would not sign away my right to share my experience with this company, I would also post any resolution they would offer. At this point they refuse to refund my premium if I file a complaint. I am still asking only for the return of my premium. Thank you for your help. In my opinion consumers need to be protected from this company.

10/11/2018COMPLAINT ID: *** To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you contacting us with the above referenced complaint. We at Total Home Protection treat each complaint with the utmost respect and use this feedback to better serve our valued customers. Understandably there are two sides to every story and always look for a fair resolution between all parties.

On 8/4/2018 an Air Conditioner claim was submitted stating the unit was not turning on. We assigned a vendor on 8/6/2018 in accordance with the policy (see below III. B). On 8/10/2018 the consumer called in stating they had a vendor come out, so we advised the consumer to submit the diagnosis for review. The consumer submitted a paid receipt that showed the unit had a clogged drain line, which was clogged with sludge build up filling the secondary drain pan. This was a failure due to a maintenance issue which is not covered under the policy. Work was also performed without Authorization.

V. COVERAGE

A. Air Conditioning System

Note: Coverage available on Air Conditioning units up to a 5-ton capacity, and for residential use only.

COVERED: Mechanical parts and components of two (2) ducted electric central air conditioning systems. All components and parts for units below 13 SEER and/or R-22 equipment, and when we are unable to facilitate repair and/or replacement of failed covered equipment at the current SEER rating or with R-22 equipment, repair and/or replacement will be performed with 13 SEER/R410A equipment and/or 7.7 HSPF or higher compliant, except:

NOT COVERED: Filters; condenser casings; registers and grills; water towers; humidifiers; chillers; electronic air cleaners; window units; non-ducted wall units; mini-split wall units; gas air conditioning systems; water evaporative coolers; swamp coolers; condensate pumps; thermal expansion valves; all exterior condensing, cooling and pump pads; disconnect boxes; roof mounts, jacks, stands or supports; cost for crane rentals; electronic, computerized, and manual systems management and zone controllers; commercial grade equipment; refrigerant conversion; leak detections; water leaks; drain line stoppages or drain pans; maintenance; rusted and/or corroded coils; component short to ground; noise without a related mechanical failure; improperly sized units; air conditioning with mismatched condensing unit and evaporative coil per manufacturer specifications; improper use of metering devices (i.e. thermal expansion valves). We are not responsible for the costs associated with matching dimensions, brand or color made. We will not pay for any modifications or upgrades necessitated by the repair of existing equipment or the installation of new equipment. We will pay up to $10 per pound per occurrence for refrigerant. You are responsible for payment of any costs in excess of $10 per pound.

The consumer placed a claim for a well pump not working on 9/26/2018. We were advised during the call that the customer was getting their own vendor. A reimbursement form was sent to the customer with the procedure of how to go through reimbursement. The diagnosis we received was the system was clogged such as the pressure valve, schrader valve and the air volume control. We were also advised the main control board was burnt out. The initial issue was the system was clogged causing the board to fail. The repair was also done prior to getting authorization as the Reimbursement form (see attachment) states as per the policy this failure is clearly excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below;

VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

D. This Agreement covers only repairs and/or replacements due to mechanical failure attributable to ordinary wear and tear. Accordingly, the Agreement does not cover failures which may result from other causes, such as without limitation abuse; misuse and/or neglect; lack of maintenance; rust and/or corrosion; noise without a related mechanical failure; chemical or sedimentary build up; lightning strikes; missing parts; animal, pet and/or pest damage; power failure; power surge; fire; casualty; acts of God; structural and/or property damage; flood; smoke; earthquake; freeze damage; accidents; war; acts of terrorism; nuclear explosion, reaction, radiation or radioactive contamination; insurrection; riots; vandalism; or intentional destruction of property. This Agreement does not cover mechanical failures resulting directly or indirectly from or caused by mold, mildew, mycotoxins, fungus, bacteria, virus, condensation, and/or wet or dry rot regardless of the source, origin, or location and any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any sequence to the mechanical failure.

On 9/4/2018 a claim was placed for the water heater stating while taking a shower they heard a thud causing the junction box to fail. We assigned a vendor for water heater claim but we then had to open an electric claim instead on 9/5/2018. We assigned a vendor on 9/5/2018.

On 9/10/2018 the consumer called advising a Reimbursement form was needed as they had gotten their own vendor out to the home to do the repairs. The consumer was advised at that time, repairs done without prior approval are not covered as per section III.C

As we are not an emergency service, repairs can not be made without first contacting us and submitting a claim and contacting us prior to repair as per the policy

III. REQUESTING SERVICE – CALL

A. We must be notified as soon as the malfunction is discovered and prior to expiration of the Agreement. You can request service by calling . We will accept service requests 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will not provide service until all past due Trade Service Call Fees and Plan Fees are made current.

The authorized Service Contractor will contact you to schedule a mutually convenient appointment during normal business hours. We will determine what repairs constitute an emergency and will make reasonable efforts to expedite emergency service. We will accept your request to expedite scheduling of non-emergency service only when a Service Contractor is available.

C. We have the sole and absolute right to select the Service Contractor to perform the service. We will not reimburse for services performed without its prior approval.

D. We reserve the right to obtain a second opinion at our expense.

In the event that the outcome of the second opinion is different than the first opinion, then we may, in our discretion, decide whether to accept Coverage under this Agreement. If you request a second opinion, you will be responsible for the payment of an additional Trade Service Call Fee only if the outcome of the second opinion is the same as the initial opinion.

E. In the event we authorize or request you to contact an independent service contractor to perform a covered service, we will provide reimbursement for an authorized amount of the cost you incur for the repair or replacement services. Acceptable proof of the repair and your actual itemized costs must be provided to and approved by us before any reimbursement will be paid. We are not responsible for expenses you incur without our express consent. We will not reimburse you for any costs associated with unauthorized repairs or work performed by unauthorized contractors.

Total Home Protection breached our contract by refusing to repair my kitchen sink drain. I requested service for a stopped and leaking drain pipe and their contractor from *** arrived on 9-20-18. The contractor left without doing any work and said they needed approval from Total Home Protection to do the repair. Days later, I was told by Total Home Protection that the claim would not be honored because the leak was caused by the pipe rusting according to the contractor. I responded that the pipe is PVC plastic and plastic doesn't rust. After a week, they again refused the claim saying the leak was caused by pipe corrosion. I again told them the pipe is PVC and that PVC doesn't corrode. After another week they refused the claim saying that the leak was caused by “outside sources”. They couldn't give me the name of the outside source, they couldn't give me any evidence of an outside source and they couldn't give me an example of an outside source.

According to Section F of the Service Agreement (what’s covered and not covered), it clearly states, “Covered: Leaks and breaks of water, drain, gas, waste or vent lines”. For three weeks, Total Home Protection fished for reasons not to cover the claim and eventually they simply said they were not covering it. I requested Total Home Protection to provide me an explanation in writing as to why my claim was refused. They sent me a copy of the service agreement and failed to provide an explanation.

The consumer placed a claim for a plumbing stoppage on 9/14/2018.

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

Total Home Protection is now stating the reason is due to corrosion. However, PVC pipe does not corrode like I stated earlier. Simple research will confirm that. Total Home Protection is obviously making excuses to refuse the repair. Their contractor, ***, confirms that the pipes are PVC. I had hired another plumber who located the leak and they determined the leak was from the seam of the elbow. Due to pressure from the standing water from the stoppage. Total Home Protection is a dishonest company.

I called for service on my furnace; it stopped working. They told me I'd get an email within two days with contact info for the service. I got an email two days later instructing me to call the home office. I called the same day, but I just got a voicemail. I left a message about how cold it is getting in Colorado and I'm without heat. I left another message the fourth day and sent an email. No reply. I called the afternoon of the fourth day and told the person I wanted to cancel my contract. He transferred me where I waited for 72 minutes, yes, I clocked it - then they just hung up. I heard the receiver drop into the phone cradle. I paid $408.80 for the year on 8/31/18 and needed service just two days after the required 30-day waiting period (10/2/18). I want my money back and for all to know about these people!

I call for a water heather leak, Technician came I paid $45.00 (service call) and he make a call and after a little while he told me that this Company does not cover Replace of Water Heather, just replace components or elements. My question is how the promise to replace components or parts? usually when you call to replace a water heather is because the tank is broke. They told me that this is part of their policy, When they introduce this service they did it, but they never told me that water leaks is not covered. I'm a Senior and now I have to pay $1600.00 to replace something they told me was under this Home Protection Plan. I hope Some body from your Bureau do something, specially when you are retired and you depend from one check every month. And I hope you let me know what results you get from this cheap Company. Thank you in advance for your consideration and answer to my complaint,sincerely

I am rejecting this response because: When I call the first time they told me that the insurance that they offer replace water heather, and they never told me that they replace components or replace parts ONLY. They want my business that's why they didn't explain clear. What company will replace components in water heather? usually when you call to replace a water heather is because the water tank is broke. their answer does not resolve my problem.

Approximately 1 week ago I entered my information into this company's website in order to obtain a quote. Although the company did not seem that bad, there were some issues in the contract that basically made me opt for another company. Since that week has passed, the company basically has harassed me with over 100 freaking phone calls, text messages, and emails. I have called the company numerous times and asked the company to stop calling and got a mixed bag of results to include laughter on the part of the agents to being passed around their phone pool from one agent to another to another. I called back another time and spoke to their customer service representative who basically stated that she felt it would be inappropriate to ask me for my information. Repeatedly I have asked this company to stop calling me - repeatedly they have called me non-stop. I am not upset at the company - I am simply upset at their marketing practices. I did not want, nor would I ever want, such a response from a company. All I asked for was a quote. Instead - I have been harassed endlessly.

I am recently divorced and have purchased a townhome. I was solicited by this company multiple times for a home warranty. Newly single, I thought it in my best interest to purchase a home warranty. This company offered 13 months for $395 and guaranteed that any issue would be resolved for a $33 fee per visit/issue. I have since had 4 issues. First, my water heater was not working upon settlement of the property. They sent someone out that was not even affiliated with their company. I ended up paying $950 for a new water heater. Next, the dryer wasn't working. They sent someone out that said it was fine but I needed the duct cleaned. I paid $45 for the visit and an additional $60 for the duct cleaning. Why? Third, my kids shower does not have hot water. Fourth, I have a hole in the side of my attic. I was told $45 if the same person picked up both jobs (again..it was only supposed to be $33). The man submitted the claims after I was told I had to pay $45 for each issue ($90 total). It has been weeks so I called the company. They can't even find the claims and say that nothing is covered. I am disgusted and very disappointed. And, going broke and nothing has been fixed. I would like my original $395 to be refunded along with the $45 and $90 that I paid their contractors. Total $530 ASAP so that I can pay an actual licensed contractor to come out to fix the issues. Please advise.

The consumers plan is a yearly plan for $374.25 with 2 months free and a $45.00 service charge fee. The policy was purchased on 6/29/2018 and became effective on 7/29/2018. We do not offer a $33.00 rate, our standard service charge fee rate is $60.00 with the promotional rate of $45.00.

The consumer placed a claim for a water heater not getting hot on 8/27/2018. The diagnosis concluded that the cause of the failure was there was an internal leak in the tank. Per our policy this failure is clearly excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below;

G. Water Heater

COVERED: All components and parts for gas and/or electric hot water heaters, including circulating pumps, except:

NOT COVERED: Auxiliary and secondary holding/storage tanks; main, holding or storage tanks; expansion tanks; base pans; drain pans and drain lines; line restrictions; pressure reducing valve; sediment build-up; mineral and/or calcium build-up; rust and corrosion; combustion shutdown; color or purity of water; flues; vent pipes/lines; insulation and insulation blankets; heat recovery units; tankless hot water heaters; low boy and/or squat water heaters; solar water heaters including all solar components and parts; any noise without a related mechanical failure; racks; straps; timers; energy management systems; commercial grade equipment and units exceeding 75 gallons. We will pay no more than $500 per contract term for access, diagnosis, repair and/or replacement. All claims have been properly serviced in accordance with the Service Agreement - all contracts have inclusions as well as exclusions.

We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our customers, contractors, employees, and our company.

A claim was placed for the clothes dryer on 8/29/2018 stating the unit was not heating. The diagnosis was that the vents were clogged and needed to be cleared. This is a maintenance issue and not covered under the policy as per below.

E. Clothes Dryer

COVERED: All components and parts, except:

NOT COVERED: Venting; lint screens; knobs and dials; doors, door seals, and hinges; glass; leveling and balancing; noise without a related mechanical failure; damage to clothing; conditions of air flow restriction due to a lack of maintenance and/or clogged lint screens.

There were two claims placed on 9/6/2018 one for the water heater, stating there was no hot water in the 2nd bathroom and the other a plumbing claim stating there was a leak in the home. We assigned the same vendor to each of the plumbing claims who diagnosed the failures. There was no failure with the water heater at that time and on the 2nd claim the leak was coming from the roof, which the consumer did not have optional limited roof leak coverage.

When there are two claims with the same type of vendor in this case plumbing, as a courtesy we waive the 2nd service charge fee. Being the consumer was charged for both claims, in an effort to provide good customer service, we will refund the consumer $45.00.

Just wanted to let you know that this complaint has been settled, we refunded the consumer in full $374.25 on 12/6/2018.

I've had several problems with Total Home Protection. When a customer puts in a complaint, it takes them forever to find a provider to repair your issue. I recently filed a complaint on September 18th, 2018 and they have yet to assign a contractor. When they finally found a contractor, they sent the e-mail to me. Then, when I called the company, she said the company didn't approve the repair amount. As of today, they still haven't assigned us a repair person even after I called again. The next issue is on the website, it states they repair leaking AC. When I placed the claim, no one ever called about this claim. Therefore, when I called about both claims the rep. stated they no longer repair leaks. My contract started about a year ago with them repairing HVAC leakage. I don't understand how a company decides not to repair an item in the middle of a contract. No one from the company has contacted me, but they constantly call my phone wanting me to renew my contract. They call my phone everyday soliciting sales.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

Regards

I currently have coverage under a home warranty with Total Home Protection. My upstairs AC system was not functioning properly and under inspection during a service call their technician diagnosed non-repairable leaks that required the replacement of the evaporator coil and outdoor units. Knowing that rust and corrosion are common reasons for denying a claim, I asked the technician to verify if he saw any rust or corrosion and he confirmed there was none (he explained some of the metal is copper and looks red/brown, but there was not rust). When he completed his report the claim was denied for rust and corrosion.

After speaking with customer service at Total Home Protection (Kevin K - Retention Manager) they refused to honor the warranty and simply offered to help me get a discount on parts. I decided to get a second opinion. The next technician confirmed the leaks and need to replace, while again verifying there was not rust/corrosion just typically colored copper pipes. I notified Kevin K that I would be moving forward with repairs and submitting a complaint with the Revdex.com, and if necessary a law suit, for reimbursement of the costs that should be covered under my warranty. I have not yet filed the lawsuit as I am attempting to resolve this way first.

In summary, they are refusing to honor the terms of the warranty covering my HVAC system claiming rust and corrosion even though the technician they sent and a second independent technician have both confirmed there is not rust or corrosion, so that most certainly was not the cause of the leaks.

Thank you contacting us with the above referenced complaint. We at Total Home Protection treat each complaint with the utmost respect and use this feedback to better serve our valued customers. Understandably there are two sides to every story and always look for a fair resolution between all parties.

The consumer placed a claim for a Air Condition not cooling on 8/19/2018. The diagnosis concluded that the cause of the failure was the king valve cap is still attached to the unit, but the cap is rusted/corroded and has been cracked off for some time. This has allowed some freon to slowly leak out which has caused the unit to freeze up causing weak points in the evaporator coils and causing them to leak. Per our policy this failure is excluded from coverage. Please see the referenced section of the policy below;

VII. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

A. The following are not included during the contract term; (i) malfunction or improper operation due to rust or corrosion of all systems and appliances, (ii) collapsed ductwork, (iii) known or unknown pre-existing conditions, deficiencies and/or defects.All claims have been properly serviced in accordance with the Service Agreement - all contracts have inclusions as well as exclusions. We are committed to providing a positive customer experience and doing the right thing for all our customers, contractors, employees, and our company.

D. This Agreement covers only repairs and/or replacements due to mechanical failure attributable to ordinary wear and tear. Accordingly, the Agreement does not cover failures which may result from other causes, such as without limitation abuse; misuse and/or neglect; lack of maintenance; rust and/or corrosion; noise without a related mechanical failure; chemical or sedimentary build up; lightning strikes; missing parts; animal, pet and/or pest damage; power failure; power surge; fire; casualty; acts of God; structural and/or property damage; flood; smoke; earthquake; freeze damage; accidents; war; acts of terrorism; nuclear explosion, reaction, radiation or radioactive contamination; insurrection; riots; vandalism; or intentional destruction of property. This Agreement does not cover mechanical failures resulting directly or indirectly from or caused by mold, mildew, mycotoxins, fungus, bacteria, virus, condensation, and/or wet or dry rot regardless of the source, origin, or location and any other cause or event contributing concurrently or in any sequence to the mechanical failure.

In an effort to provide good customer service, we can offer $250.00 good will to the customer.

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed as Answered]

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:

I have spoken with the HVAC technician once again. His professional opinion is that the amount of rust shown on the king valve is normal and not the cause of a leak. He explained this is surface level rust which would easily be scrubbed away, and this was not the cause of a leak. Furthermore, even if this was the cause of the leak in the outdoor unit, there is no indication this led to the leak in the attic unit evaporator coils. Evaporator coil leaks are common from typical wear and tear, and there were no signs of previous freezing in the evaporator (such as marks from stretching) as stated in the reasons for denying the claim.

As a sign of good faith, I am willing to settle the claim if Total Home Protection will reimburse for the cost of the evaporator coil replacement (which showed no signs or rust/corrosion), which was $2800.00, and I will cover the cost of the outdoor unit. If we cannot reach a settlement, I will have to pursue reimbursement for the cost of the whole system.

Regards
