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.I am not accepting this reaponseWhen I spoke with Leonard the Dave Live Green came out, I explained to him what the issue was and asked if it would be coveredHe said that it would beThat my contract covers the main line to the septicHe further stated that he couldn't get a straight answer out of live green and so he needed more info from meI told him Live Green was only in the house for minutes didn't even look at the pipe just said it wasn't covered and walked back outI told Leonard I wasn't paying the service fee as he didn't do anythingHe said he understoodNow I am being billed also for the second opinion which is ok, but I am not paying for bothAll I have been asking is for HSA to do the right thingI was told it was covered and if they pull the call as I have requested they would hear thatI am asking that they fix my issue or at least pay half which the total is between and HSA is a shady company with horrible customer serviceIf they don't want a bad reputation they need to fix this [To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, we would like to know your view on the matter.] Regards, [redacted] ***

The $was an accounting error that was promptly removed from the home owner's account upon noticeThe service fee for the plumbing claim shows it is processing to send a check to the home owner for the amount of the deductible, unfortunately this does take about two weeks to process and for the check to be sent outThere was not a breach of contract as we simply do not cover to correct improperly sized plumbing, this is listed as an item the home owner is liable for within the warranty

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 [To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, we would like to know your view on the matter.] Regards, [redacted] The response from HSA is incorrect for several reasons I've broken down their reply to respond point by point:The first failure reported 3/11/was for the unit not heatingThis was for the draft inducer motor and was approved in full This is incorrect Our first HSA service call was actually on 1/30/for a leaking pipe The pipe was repaired with improper materials and is still leaking todayThe carbon monoxide was not tested and the source of the water in the furnace was ignored.The second claim on 3/30/was for the unit not turning on was water leaking from the flue pipe and was approved in fullThis is incorrect Our second call was actually on 3/11/when the furnace stopped turning on A fan motor was replaced, but the underlying issue of strain on the fan due to water damage was ignoredThe carbon monoxide was not tested.The third call was on 3/30/when the furnace stopped turning on The HSA repairmen claimed a switch was broken and they replaced it with a non-Bryant part Our own tech subsequently informed us that the original switch wasn't broken (the HSA repairmen left the original switch in our basement, so our tech was able to examine it) He also said that the switch stopped working because it was full of water, so installing a new dry switch was a "bandaid" repair The HSA repairmen didn't test our carbon monoxide or warn us about the water damage and visible rust on the exterior and interior of the furnace at this visit either.The next failure reported on 6/2/was the unit leaking waterThe homeowner's vendor reported heat exchanger is crackedThe cause of the crack was not due to wear and tearThe failure was caused from water in the evaporator pan backing up and overflowing and leaking onto the heat exchanger as well as the blower motor The first tech we called ourselves suggested that the cause of the water damage "may" be from AC condensation dripping onto the furnace, but this was NOT a definitive conclusion or diagnosis A second Bryant-authorized technician came to our home on 6/5/and inspected the furnace and AC drip pan He said the AC drip pan was not cracked or defective in any way and was adequately catching water He said the failure of the heat exchanger should not be considered secondary damage.These failures are due to secondary water damage and are not covered under the HSA contractOur AC is also covered by the HSA warranty If there is an issue with our AC damaging the furnace, then replace both units and refund us for the prior repairs that were improperly done.Since the purchase of our home less than one year ago, the only men that have gone near our AC or furnace prior to the detection of the high carbon monoxide levels by a third party are the HSA-authorized repairmen, so it's difficult to believe that a properly inspected and fully functional AC could just suddenly begin leaking and cause rust that ended up damaging our furnace, especially given that the drip pan is in good condition

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me Regards, [redacted] ***

I apologize for our hold times, we do our best to accommodate our customers during our peak seasons to reduce themFor appliances not every part needed for a repair is locally and readily available, sometimes they need to be sourced and shipped, or come from the manufacturer directly as their are innumerous brands and models of appliancesWe do our best to get these as quickly as possibleThe customer always has the option of doing a cash in lieu for the value of the repairs towards using their own vendor or replacement of a system instead of an offered repair
