My issue stems and has been ongoing for 3 weeks now, but stems from 2 years ago. I have been promised a quote on an upgrade install from 2 years ago. When I call to find out why I’m told someone will get back to you. Initially my CA unit was working. Well, now it’s not. I called 3 weeks ago to find out what happened to receiving my quote and was put on hold and transferred for 40 minutes until I ended up at the Repair /Maintenance Dept. And told 24-48 hrs I will get a call. I didn’t. I called last week and a rude gentlemen said 24-48 hrs I will get a call back. I didn’t. TODAY, I called and asked to be transferred to a supervisor and was told I will send an email to the Install Department and you will get a call back in 24-48 hrs, but you can call a contractor and have them give you a quote. In the meantime, I have no air and it’s unbearable. Whatever happened to accountability and responsibility for non compliance to customers? There’s no leadership to rectify this? How does a company send out advertisements to upgrade equipment but in 3 years refuse to give the quote. I KNOW I can call a contractor but why should I when I have a Home Serve account. While, no, there’s no money spent, it’s common courtesy, and world class customer service that’s not being displayed while a customer is being subjected to incredible heat bearing conditions. At best more than an apology is needed, immediate action is required post haste!Business Response

I contacted and received an email from Homeserve a year prior and was informed that my plan would be canceled. home service charged me 43.99 a month for over a year without my authorization or knowledge and they never canceled it I know they record these calls and keeps tracks of emails. I spoke with a rep and was told that they won’t refund me my money for a service that I did not have.Business Response

I called Homeserve approximately five times for a water leak. Homeserve sent out four different plumbing companies who all stated that they were not equipped to handle my repair. I informed Homeserve of the issue and they just wanted to send the same companies out again. I had to hire a plumber and paid over $3,200 for something Homeserve stated was covered in my contract.Business Response

I have six plans with this company. Since February of this year they have been billing me sporadically. Some months they charge me for some of the plans, and then some months they don’t charge anything for the plans. For the last week I have been constantly on the phone trying to get a representative to fix this problem or at the very least to explain what is going on.
In the past five days, they have taken money out of my checking account EVERY DAY.
I have been calling, asking to speak to a supervisor, asking for an explanation, but to date, no one is assisting me. They just keep subtracting money out of my checking account!
your assistance would be greatly appreciated.Business Response

I was offered an opportunity to purchase a protection policy for my Exterior Water Service Line from HomeServe associated with my electric utility company, ******** ***** **. I called to obtain more information about the plan, and had several specific questions to ask the representative, because I have been offered plans before that ultimately would not work for my situation. I asked if there was a limit on the coverage based on the length of the water line, or the age of the home/water line. I was assured that there was no limit based on either of these. The other very important question was whether I could use my own plumber to do repairs, and I was assured that I could. I clarified all of these questions multiple times, and I was assured that yes, all of that was true. I understood that to use my own plumber I would have to get prior authorization from HomeServe which may involve sending my plumber's information and an estimate of work, and I may have to pay up front and be reimbursed, but that all of that was possible, so I purchased the policy. On two other occasions in the past 10 months since I purchased the policy, I spoke to different representatives. On both of those calls I was reassured that I could in fact use my own plumber, and there was no limit on coverage based on length or age of the water line. Now I have a leak in my exterior water line, and I called to find out how to get my plumber authorized to do the work, as I was told I could do, and I have been told that I cannot use my own plumber unless they have no plumbers on their list in my area, and there are many plumbers on their list, so I will not be able to use my own contractor. I was actively deceived and lied to in order to get me to pay for this policy. I just want to have HomeServe approve my plumber, and they can set a cap on the price if they want. They refuse, and also refuse to allow any contact via email so that I am unable to have a written record of our conversations.Business Response

I had AC coverage thru HomeServe when I made a service request. They sent out a technician contracted through their company. I received a phone call on 6/30/2025 and 7/1/2025 from Dasha H***** who works in the President Office for HomeServe due to me making a complaint with HomeServe in regards to the work that the technician did of incorrectly wiring my capacitor switch. I sent her the receipt from another technician confirming the damage. Ms. H***** agreed with the tech they sent out to avoid paying for the damage he done. My tech that I hired on my own confirmed that the AC unit had a ground/failed compressor which was also confirmed by the tech HomeServe sent out but he was the one causing the ground/failed compressor by hooking up wires incorrectly. The only thing Ms. H***** decided to do is refund my service fee call, but not take responsibility of the error that their tech had done. Then in the same sentence she tells me that I cancelled my coverage so I am no longer covered. This is correct. I cancelled my coverage on 6/27/2025 that was suggested by the HVAC company. But like I told her, I was covered on 6/26/2025 when the work was performed by the tech that HomeServe sent out. After the company told me that they could not repair my unit and it's best to go ahead and cancel the coverage since they won't be covering anything that I was paying monthly fees for nothing. I feel I was taken advantage of due to me being an elderly person.Business Response

On Friday August 29, 2025 I called Home Serve and told them my air conditioning was out. We are in the middle of a heat wave. The temp in my house said 98 and temps outside were 110. They sent several companies saying they couldn't come until the end of July. I said no way. I have kids in my home. Over the course of several days only one person came out. He could not fix the unit and kept giving me different dates of when it could be done. They even told me they would reimburse me if I went and got some fans. As of today my unit is still not fixed. The temps are still at dangerous levels and this company really did not do their job. It is inhumane to leave animals in this much heat. Why was it okay for Home serve to do this to me and my kids. i want nothing more to do with this company. I want my unit fixed and paid for by Home serv. I would like to not be charged for anything further and any contract between me and this company dropped. This is not a good company. They take advantage of the people they serve.Business Response
