Due to never being notified that Enercare was no longer going to be billed through ********* I have fallen behind in payments, I have asked a small compensation for this but that got denied. I have been trying for a couple months to try to get to get to some sort of payment arrangement to get current. Their customer service department is the worst, they either never answer emails or they tell me to call them and I have asked numerous times to resolve this through email and I never get any response from them but they will call me endlessly. I am on the phone all day with my job and the last thing I want to do is be on the phone to resolve something that could be done over email.
I just want to resolve this through email only and for this hassle I would like some compensation as a credit to my account.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I have been trying to come up with a payment arrangement about my past due balance via email but I just get ignored. I am trying to make this right but you are not meeting me halfway here.

I have sold my house and have a rental water heater, and Enercare refuses to cancel the policy. Effective date of sale is July 23rd 2025.
They want the agreement of purchase and sale (they have no legal right to this), a signed assumption of contract, buyers phone numbers and email address etc...
I do not have these thing, nor is the buyer willing to provide me these items.
The buyer does note in the agreement that the water heater is rented, and will contact them to set-up the new account. But after three people from Enercare on the phone they just hung up on me after they refused to cancel the service.Business Response

We thank the customer for bringing this to our
attention. We confirm that in order to transfer the rental to
the new owner we would need the new owner’s information. To date, we have not
received the required information to complete the rental transfer nor has the
new owner contacted Enercare to assume the rental agreement. If the customer receives extra charges after their move-out
date, those charges will be reversed once the move is completed.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:Enercare asked for information that they are not entitled too, first they asked for the complete agreement of purchase and sale of the house, and they not need for this nor are legally entitled to it. Then they asked for purchasers email address and personal contact information (this i do not have), then asked for the purchasers agreement on their form to transfer rental (this is am not in control of). So they are asking for items and information that i do not have.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
As outlined in the terms and conditions of the rental water heater agreement, when a property is sold and the new homeowner wishes to assume the rental agreement, we require either a copy of the purchase and sale agreement or a signed assumption agreement from the new owner.
We can confirm that we have now received the necessary documentation and will proceed to ensure that the new homeowner is appropriately billed for the rental water heater moving forward.Customer Answer

While I have been dealing with trying to resolve the issues with Enercare over the past 10-12 months, the issue actually started 10 years ago when I first had my water heater installed in January of 2015.
The installers were not to take the water heater from my home that I owned. However, when I returned home from work I noticed that they had stolen my hot water heater. I contacted Customer Service immediately, and they admitted that the installers had made a mistake and taken my hot water heater when they weren't supposed to. They apologized and contacted the installers who told them that they had already scrapped it within 45 minutes of leaving my house, and I could not have it back. After multiple phone calls and transfers to different departments, I was told that the most they would offer me in compensation was 3 months of free rent on the new water heater. I said that was unacceptable, and that by their own buy out schedule, my water heater was worth about $700. I rejected the offer. They said thats the best they will do and that was that. While I was furious, there was nothing I could do as it was tied to my gas bill. So i continued to make all my payments until Enercare separated from ******** gas in the summer of 2024. At that point I contacted Enercare immediately to resolve this case once and for all.
After paying Enercare minimum $3000 over the years, and them telling me I owed $600 to buy out the water heater, I proposed that we go our separate ways and call it a wash for them ******** my water heater. Almost every agent I spoke with agreed that was more than fair. I was told countless times that my account would be on hold while we seek a resolution and that someone would contact me that would be able to make a decision. This back and forth has gone on for the past 10 months with no one ever calling me, and me having to reexplain my case to countless agents, with each one promising me that my acct would be on hold.

May 25, 2025: My Enercare rental AC unit was not cooling. I contacted Enercare to have someone come fix it and scheduled an appointment for May 28, 2025 (confirm #**********). No one showed for that appointment and I called Enercare for an explanation. I was not given an explanation but scheduled a second appointment for May 29, 2025 (confirm #**********). the May 29 appointment had two separate technicians show up. I was told that Enercare contracts out AC repairs to ******. The second technician was from ****** and examined my AC unit. He was not familiar with my Enercare rental AC and was not able to diagnose or fix the issue. He told me Enercare would contact me regarding solution. They never contacted me. I contacted Enercare and scheduled a 3rd appointment for June 3 (confirm #**********). No one showed to that appointment. I requested an explanation from Enercare. I was told they escalated the issue. I scheduled an appointment for June 5, 2025 (confirm #**********). No one showed to that appointment. I called Enercare asking for an explanation. I was told the issue had been escalated. I requested to speak to a manager. I was told a manager would call me same day to book another AC repair appointment and make sure an ****** tech would show. No one contacted me. I called back and booked a June 9, 2025 appointment (confirm #**********). No one showed to this appointment. I called Enercare and lodged a formal complaint as I have been receiving horrible customer service and Enercare is not abiding by their/our rental agreement to provide timely and expert repairs. I was told I would receive 80$ compensation and another assurance that someone would come to my upcoming scheduled appointment on June 12 (confirm #**********).
It has been two weeks with a broken AC unit that I pay Enercare monthly to maintain and repair. They are not fulfilling their contractual responsibilities. I would like Enercare to repair my AC unit and compensate me for wasting my time.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. A supervisor from ****** did come out to my condo shortly after registering my complaint. He was not able to diagnose my AC cooling issue and was going to reach out to Enercare for direction. I’m not sure how long this issue will remain. Further compensation might be required if my air conditioning is not repaired in a timely manner. I am willing to resolve my complaint in good faith.

My father had passed away on January 5 2024. I am th epower of Attorney for the estate. My sistyer and I had sold the house in June 2024 and the closing date was in October 2024. All the utility companies had been notified regarding the sale and things were closed. The only problem I am having is with Enercare. They were notified twice by myself and once by my member of parliament. To this day I am receiving a bill which shows a credit of 53.21. as stated I have sent them information that I am power of attorney and death certificate. Why are they unable to send me a cheque payable to the estate so I do not receive the bills on a regular basis. I don't have the mail anymore being transferred to my place. That stopped on June 6 of this year. I had my fathers mail coming to my place for 18 months. The bill is as follows
**** ******** (father)
**** ****** ****** ******** *** *** *** Acct number of bill **********

I switched from enercare to reliance for my water heater rental tank. New tank was installed by reliance and old tank removed on February 23, 2025. I called enercare to pay off remaining balance of contract. I was told by a customer representative that the balance was paid and that my account would now be closed.
I was then called multiple times stating that I still owed them money, like my account was still open. I called and spoke with Maria from their customer resolution management team on April 08, 2025 - case number 40179311. Credit applied to close account, meaning no more money owing.
I then received another phone call on June 09, 2025 saying that I still owe them around $32 for April to may bill. In response told customer service agent that I would be reporting them to BBB as I am thinking this might be a **** or ***** attempt to get more money out of me.Business Response

Enercare service agent informed me earlier in February 2025 that we need to change the mixing value and said if he changes it now it would cost us 300$ but its free when you replace the new tank and moving into a new contract with enercare. Then I called and spoke with customer care and booked an appointment to change the new tank and signed up for a new contract with enercare. During my call I asked the agent to make sure the technician change the mixing value and confirmed with the agent that's free during new contract. Agent informed me that's free and mentioned to me that she put this information in the notes.
On May 31, agent from enacare came to change the hotwater tank and and again I mentioned to him about what i confirm with customer care- mixing valve issue
Then the technician informed me that he doesn't have that information and called his supervisor while I was calling enacare customer service. His supervisor informed him, if the customer doesn't want to continue with us its fine and asked the technician to go to the next call. The technician already had removed the old tank but didn't install the new one and customer service informed me its not free but they need to escalate the ticket to the manager who can respond back in 5 business days. I was forced to change the hotwater with enacare because the old tank was removed and there was no one available to make decisions, I asked the agent to listen to the call on March 14 but she said calls didn't get recorded.
Manager did not respond to my request until now, June 9,2025.
I am looking for solutions for my issue and better customer service from enacare.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the service I have received regarding a promised mixing valve replacement.
In early February, an Enercare agent who visited my home informed me that the mixing valve needed to be changed, and that the replacement would be free of charge if I renewed my contract and received a new hot water tank. I confirmed this information with a customer care agent at the time.
However, when I followed up on May 31, I was told by another agent that the earlier conversation was not recorded — despite your company’s standard disclaimer that "all calls are recorded for quality and training purposes." This inconsistency is troubling.
To make matters worse:
I was told the ticket had been escalated on May 31, yet I heard nothing back until I filed a formal complaint with the BBB.
The company is now offering me a $150 credit, which I never asked for and do not accept in place of the originally promised service.
I am not requesting compensation — I am simply asking Enercare to honor what was promised by your own employees:
? Replace the mixing valve, free of charge, as clearly communicated by your staff.
This experience has been extremely frustrating and has caused me to lose confidence in Enercare’s customer service and follow-through. I expect a resolution that reflects the company's integrity and commitment to its customers.
Sincerely,
****** ***********Business Response

We have reviewed the customer's account with the Field manager and he has confirmed that the technician did not
offer free mixing valves, if he did, he would have noted that on the customer's file or
written that offer on the water heater contract. We also confirm that we have
no documentation or call recording confirming that the mixing valve would be
free. The customer has been previously advised that the mixing valves are not provided free of charge
unless a plumbing plan is submitted that specifically requires them. As
such, the charges for the mixing valve are not covered under the rental
agreement and are considered valid.Customer Answer

I previously sent the response why I am rejecting the business offer. Enacare can listen to the call I made to book the appointment on May 30 2025. I need to listen to the call on or bbb can listen to the original call i made to enacare to book my appointment to change the tank on May 30. Other than that I don't believe how the business telling me they dont have any notes in the system. As a customer I can't verify what the business agent inputting that on file. Agent who i spoke to book this service with she confirmed that she will put it in the notes that they will change the mixing value also she never mentioned to me that i need to
Here is a revised and more structured version of your message to make it clearer and more professional:
Subject: Request for Call Review and Dispute of Service I previously submitted my response explaining why I am rejecting the business offer. I would like to request that Enacare review the phone call I made onMay 14, 2025, when I booked the appointment. I, or the Better Business Bureau (BBB), should be allowed to listen to that original call to verify the details.
I am disputing the business's claim that there are no notes in the system. As a customer, I have no way to verify what the agent enters into the file, which puts me at a disadvantage.
The agent I spoke with when booking the service clearly confirmed that she would include a note stating that both the tank and the mixing valve would be replaced. At no point during that conversation did the agent inform me that I would need to request the mixing valve separately or that it wouldn’t be included.
I believe the business should be held accountable for the commitments made during that call. I ask that the call recording be reviewed as part of resolving this dispute fairly.
Sincerely,
****** ***********Business Response

Enercare's
position remains the same. The mixing valve is a plumbing device which is completely
separate from the water heater and this device is not covered under the rental plan or the heating
protection plan. Because it’s a plumbing device, it is covered under the
Plumbing and Drains protection plan however, the customer does not have this plan.Initial Complaint

I called them on May 20 (Ref#********) to request buying out my home water heater. The representative, instead of proceeding the buyout, offered me free rental for 5-month, and I can decide whether or not to cancel after that. When I asked her twice whether I won't be paying starting from the bill that's supposed to be paid on June 7, she confirmed that the bill on June 7 would be free, as well as July 7, August 7, September 7 and October 7.
However, I got charged full rental amount on June 7, so I called Enercare again on June 7 (** **** *** **** *** ********). I was informed by automatic message that wait time would be 5-10min, but waited 30min before I someone picked up the phone. The representative then told me it would need 2 months for the credit to be applied. I told him that's not what I was promised, and he said that's what it is.
I then requested him to just proceed my buyout, and he put me on hold for minutes, then asked me to get credit card ready. I did, then he put me on hold again and again, taking half an hour, and told me their billing department is not open, and he's facing a system issue, so I cannot do anything until next week and I have to contact billing department myself.
I feel that they have been constantly lying to me, and delaying my buyout so that they can charge more rental payment, as the buyout amount won't reduce even after I paid more monthly payments.Business Response
