Not sure about the inspection, but they did light the furnace. One night I heard a large gun blast. It sounded like it came from the neighbors. Shortly it got cool in my house, I then had to re-light my furnace. A few days later the same situation occurred. I called up Service Guard to recheck my system. The next day around 3 P.M. they came out and just re-light the heater. 3:45 I got a text informing me it was complete. I came home from work to take a break. I heard a ticking noise coming from the heater system, then a large flame ball, shot gun blast and it knocked the front of the heater system off. I was very shaken by this and called Service Guard and after the lady calmed me down, the person who lite the furnace stopped by. I asked how does this happen? He said due to the rust and small cracks in the pipes this could occur. I replied you guys did an inspection, should this alerted you? That is why I questioned an inspection had occurred. The guy condemned my furnace. The plus, the manager came out the next day and looked at the system. A day later they replaced my heater system, with a unknown heat system. It took two days to complete the installation. The guy who replaced my system was professional, and informed me what I needed to do, to bring my home to code. He cleaned up the area nicely. He was a subcontractor, for the program. Three months later, the city home inspector came out and approved the work. I did call back to ask how to operate the system, but received no response. I have the Gold Program which replaces heating and cooling system at no cost. I get the suspicion the company does not like to replace items even when a severe issue is present.

I'm reviewing on behalf of my elderly mother who waited over a week for someone to come and repair her washing machine. They didn't show up, as she waited from 12-5pm in her home. When she called at 4:30 wondering where they were, the person who took the call said the order was cancelled because she wasn't home. The man rudely told her "lady you didn't request that we ring the doorbell." What a sorry excuse for someone that doesn't show up. Then they were going to wait another week before they would come to service the machine. My mother cancelled Service guard and called a local repairman who came the next business day.

Description of Work: Service provider is paid through a program that I have with the gas company. They worked on my dishwasher which was over 10 years old. Replaced a sprayer arm and a pump. It did take three trips because they had to order parts. Parts did arrive within 1 or2 days. However each time a part came we had to reschedule another call, which in itself added another week to each fix. This was more the | fault of the gas company than service guard.

Description of Work: We needed two of our refrigerators repaired. They had both up and running in a short period of time. One needed a part ordered and the part arrived the next day. We called to have them return and they were available the following day. The only improvement I'd like is that they provide a shorter window of time when they will arrive. For instance, they said they would be there between Noon and 5. I asked for 1-5 and they said they couldn't do that. I did ask for a phone call 20-30 minutes before they were to arrive and they said they could do that, however I never got the phone call.

Description of Work: My oven broke down on Nov. 23, a Sun., and a service tech was there on Mon. The part to repair the oven came Wed., morning, and because it was the day before Thanksgiving they came right out the same day and repaired the oven. |I have been with Service Guard for 17yrs., have always found them to be polite, professional, and well schooled in all appliance care. I highly recommend them for their integrity and service.

Different people have come from Service Guard to fix my washer, which is out of balance, and my dryer. When the serviceman worked on my dryer, he put the wires back improperly, so the dryer didn't run properly and I had to have another serviceman come out and fix that, then it it worked fine. None of the servicemen have been able to fix my washing machine. I have a service contract which is paid monthly with my gas bill, so I don't have a cost for when they make a service call.

Description of Work: I have a contract with service one that I pay monthly with my gas bill. I have called on them twice to fix something, the last time was my clothes dryer. I can not remember the exact date they came, but it was in early 2013, I think. They fixed it right away. They are wonderful and I have no complaints at all. I do not have to pay any deductible with my contract. I would definitely recommend them.

I just got the bill last Wednesday. They picked it on Monday and brought it on Wednesday and I was able to use it in the meantime. I didn’t have to spend on anything other than the service card, which is a monthly fee and that takes care of the washer, dryer, refrigerator and different appliances. They kept coming back and doing what needed to be done.
Description of Work: I used Black Hills Energy – Lincoln as my washing machine was off balanced. The first guy came and installed the shocks as they broke and he replaced it. They came out and replaced the spring and it still kept doing it and then one guy told me it is the bearing and they don’t fix that. It kept doing it and they sent somebody else out and other guy came out and said it is because of the bearings so we should take the washer. He went ahead and took the washer and worked on it and got it back last Wednesday and I think it is fixed this time.

I have a service agreement with them. They came shortly after I called within that day. They were clean and didn't cause any problems. For a household where someone isn't handy around the house an agreement with someone like Service Guard is handy to have.
Description of Work: We used Service Gaurd through Black Hills Energy and they were last out to determine why my AC wasn't cooling as much as it should be and fixed it. It needed to be charged up, they cleaned it and put freon in it.
