HSA would need a diagnosis from a licensed technician on what was actually failing with the a/c unitto determine if this is a coverable claim For the electrical issue, no claim has ever been filed for this For the dishwasher claim, HSA honors a potential recall on labor for days and parts for days The first claim was filed in April, which is past both labor and parts recalls The contract is a non-cancellable contract per the terms and conditions of the contract

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 belowThe home warranty company is semi responsible for matching dimensions. I could see my being responsible for the modifications for the new oven if the area was able to be modified. The length and width are able to be modified and I was ok with that, but the depth could not be modified and the oven they wanted to send was 2" too deep and it would have stuck out into the kitchen making the narrow walking space between the oven and counter difficult to pass through. I do NOT consider this matter closed and will leave my complaint until the home warranty company sees fit to pay the difference as I asked. Regards, [redacted] ***

RevDex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 11692250, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. I did received notice from the HSA company, they gave me a model # of a GE refrigerator to view and check out specifics on size and features. I called them back and told them I did view the model they gave me and it is acceptable as long as it is the fingerprint resistant stainless steel model, not the shiny stainless steel model as I viewed. All my current appliances are the dull or fingerprint resistant type. The representative I talked to said she would update the case and let them know. This was on Wednesday 9/21. I have not received any more calls on the matter. As my original complaint was more about this company not honoring their contract agreements, I fear this is going to be another dead end and HSA will not be held accountable. They sell their warranties to home owners and receive their payments but they do not honor their contact when the homeowners try to collect on the warranty. Regards, Mary W***

This claim was approved and the homeowner is taking the cash out option HSA needs a paid receipt to reimburse homeowner the approved amount

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 really do not understand how HSA is still in business with the way the customer service operatesI understand they were told by the company who gave the estimate the cause of the roof leaking was wind damage to the shinglesMy whole if they read the letter and fax I sent them in April they would have seen where I was asking for a second opinionI do not believe the entire cause of the roof leaking is from weatherHad myself and another person (who also is/ was in the roofing business) not gone up on the roof and looked I may have believed themThey gave them a quote for the entire roof, not just to repair the part was leakingI am not and have never said the entire roof needed replaced based off what the estimate wasThe statement I was given simply gave the price of the estimate and said "wind damage"That's itNo break down of supplies or anythingSince HSA does not cover weather damage they thought "great, we don't have to do anything further"I also included in my letter to them that the main area leaking is on the side of the house which is not affected by the high windsIf they would have read anything in the letter or in my complaint I was simply asking for a second opinion on the cause for the area which is leakingThat's itI do not expect them to replace an entire roof if only a small portion is damaged unless it falls under the contractI am also saying you were told the entire roof needed replaced because the company knew it was a warranty job and figured you would just payI have attached photos I took which clearly shows roofing nails on top of the shingels in some type of attemot to repair itI also have loose shingles which appeared to have been nailed above the "tar"lineAgain I am not an expert but I would assume the weather cannot put nails into a roof.I have attached a couple photos which shows the nails in the shinglesJust to make myself clear to HSA again, all I am asking for is a second opinion from a different companyAnd it would be nice for HSA to have people who can actually answer the phone so I don't have to wait an hourMaybe we could have resolved this months ago Regards, [redacted]

HSA apologizes for the customers claim experience HSA contract does not cover for an mold and or secondary damages The customer would need to file a claim against their homeowners insurance policy for remedyThank you

HSA took the contract off of auto renew on 6/29/at am This contract will not renew

The first claim for the microwave was filed on 4/8/and the cupler and smart board were replaced and the deductible was paid by the homeowner The next claim was for the microwave was filed on 5/4/as a potential recall and the deductible was not paid and replaced the smart board On 11/2/15, a claim for the microwave was filed Potential recall claims have to be filed with days for labor or days for parts and the 11/claim is outside those parameters The deductible for the 11/2/claim would be due

HSA has reimbursed the $service call fee from [redacted] and the $service fee from [redacted] to the homeowner as agreed uponHSA has also agreed to assist as a service gesture for the amount of $ HSA will need a paid receipt from the heat exchanger being replaced under manufacturer warranty or the furnace being replaced

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 Since HSA basically destroyed my paperwork I would like my complaint to remain on Revdex.com as unresolvedA company should not be able to say "we got rid of your paperwork" and that be deemed acceptablePeople should be warned about the way HSA conducts their businessIn addition, now the fan on my outside unit is malfunctioning, which was installed at the same time as my malfunctioned A-CoilIt seems that faulty equipment was purchasedSo I, again, called the company who installed the system (Affordable Home Care Services) and they said HSA approved and ordered the parts, Affordable Home Care Services just picked them up & installed themSo at this point because no one can provide me information or paperwork, I don't know if HSA purchased faulty parts that shouldn't have been used, if they were damaged in the process of installation, or what happenedThe fact that now two major components to the system are malfunctioning seems questionable Regards, [redacted] ***

After review of the claim and if the customer wishes to have the repairs completed they would need to give authorization and agree to pay the service provider for the items not covered per the contract The customer may at any time speak to the service provider for clarification Thank you

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 understand they need to speak with the service provider; however the problem is getting a hold of HSA as well as the service providerWhy do I have to be go between for HSA? HSA should have contacted a service provider in my area they use and can get a hold ofThe whole issue I have, whether or not my claim falls under a condition to be fixed, is the communication with HSAThere is no communication or I have to wait an hour to speak with someone and unfortunately I have to work along with other things to do and I don't have time to sit on hold for an extended period of timeI am not saying it is 100% the fault of HSA and some of it may lie with the service provider and HSA not being able to communicateBut why does the client have to be left in the dark about what is going onThe email response is also a joke because they don't respond within the time frame they listThe other issue is why my account was deletedAny other company I have used has contacted the appropriate business to service whatever needs fixedThis company has the client act as an employee of HSA and try to set up a service providerI did receive a message from HSA after I sent a fax and letter to the company and they claim due to what the service provider said it wasn't covered; however I am in the process of verifying what all was discussedI find it hard to believed the diagnosis occurred how it was presentedIf they want to send someone out from their company or whoever their company chooses to look at the issue and they come up with the diagnosis given by HSA then it is what it isI will try to contact HSA, when I have time, and try to resolve thisAgain the whole issue with HSA is the extreme lack of communication Regards, [redacted]
