      We pay $50/month to Simply Smart for a furnace/ac/plumbing protection plan. Our furnace was red-tagged by ******** Gas as carbon monoxide emissions were too high. We called Simply Smart to have them come out and investigate why this was happening. It took several calls to get an appointment scheduled. We finally get an appointment (one month later, I might add) and the technician didn't show up. Again, after several calls, we finally got a technician scheduled. He shows up, takes the cover off the furnace and says it's most likely the heat exchanger and recommends we get a new furnace. We asked him how he knows that it's the heat exchanger as he didn't take the furnace apart to investigate. He said he has no way of knowing for sure unless he takes the furnace apart and that would take hours. That's what we pay $50/month for so we expected him to investigate further. Unfortunately that didn't happen and we were told to order a new furnace or order a new heat exchanger and they would charge us $1,000.00 to put a new heat exchanger in. The technician also added that this may not be the problem or may not solve the issue.
      Basically, we feel we've been paying $50/month for four years for a service that we are not getting and we could have done ourselves. We have called Simply Smart to ask to get out of the contract on three different occasions and each time, the response is we need to pay out the balance remaining on the contract. (On three different occasions, they've told us different amounts remaining on the contract). We refuse to pay out the balance of the contract. We aren't asking for a refund, which we should be as we are not getting the service we paid for. We are simply asking to get out of the contract immediately with no further cost to us.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: I had asked to speak to the billing department manager a few weeks ago and was told they would be in touch.  They never did get in touch with me.  This seems to be a standard response.



      Sincerely,



      **** *********
