Buyer beware.
Called Consumers Energy Appliance Service Plan for a repair on our furnace. A technician was sent out to diagnose the problem. The technician diagnosed the problem and indicated parts were necessary. He would order them and they would be there in 1-3 business days. Three business days came and went, no call. On the fourth business day, the following week Monday, I called his cell to get a timeline. No answer and the voicemail was full so I could not leave a message. I called the next day, Tuesday, to get an update and, again, no answer, voicemail still full. I then sent a text to the technician requesting a status update. He later responded that "Sorry was gunna call Just picked up part yesterday. Let me check my route an see what's available for a time. What's your schedule like." I responded with several open times and days. His response, "Ok. Probably be later afternoon evening or tomorrow sometime." My response was, "Today is possible, busy tonight. Tomorrow is also good." In the meantime, I ended up calling the office to schedule and was put on the calendar for the following day, Wednesday between 9 am and 1 pm. Wednesday was the 9th day without heat for my family of 6 with 4 daughters under 11 years old.
At 11:40 on Wednesday, I received a call that the technician was running late from the office. After explaining this was unacceptable, and indicating I would have someone else come and fix the issue subsequently sending the bill to HVAC Pros, I asked for the owner who was, not surprisingly, unavailable. I left my name and number for a callback which was received about 25 minutes later. The owner was standoff-ish on the phone, accused me of lying, and not concerned with the fact that we had been without heat for so long. He went on to say "you're not our only job, we have other jobs." He also stated (since I was obviously lying) he would check his technician's phone to make sure I wasn't making up the fact that the technician had not initiated any contact to update me about our repair. The owner then went on to try and hang up on me because he did not like my opinion of the lack of communication and inability to get repairs done in a timely manner.
Do not use this company if your time is valuable and you need something accomplished in the time promised. If going without a service for 9+ days is good for you, this company has you covered. read more
