Overall, I had a great experience with the service call. A representative from ABC Home Services/Home-SAFE Warranty called me about 45 minutes prior to the plumber coming out. The plumber, Mike, came and assessed the problems. Then, he cleaned the flame sensor for the water heater burner before going to get the parts for the kitchen faucet. He was courteous and worked diligently throughout the repairs.

The process was uncomplicated from the start; a simple phone call to their offices, and they handled the remainder of the contact with the requisite service providers (in this case the HVAC company required to service the AC unit). The staff I interacted with (Tim and Chelsea) as well as the owner Steve were accommodating and understanding, and did everything they could to ensure our satisfaction with the service. The service technicians they contracted arrived as per the schedule, and were polite and informative. This was a critical point for me, as I have had bad experiences in the past when third parties are contracted to carry out work, and do not live up to the standards set by the contracting entity. In this case, I could not be happier with the performance of the Quality Air technician (Jeff). This speaks well of both companies, as it was obvious that they are concerned with quality of the service throughout the process, and worked together to achieve it.
Description of Work: We obtained home warranty service through ABC Gas Repair Inc. at the time of purchase on our new condo. After more than a month in the condo, and during the hottest period of this summer, and with my wife 6 months pregnant, the air conditioning unit failed. I called ABC and they quickly got in touch with one of their HVAC service providers (Quality Air), and to my surprise had them out to inspect the unit the next morning. It was determined that the unit was low on coolant, and they scheduled to come back for a more rigorous leak test. All of this was handled by ABC, and I was kept informed as to the happenings in the interim. Quality Air determined that the interior unit coil was the root cause of the problem, and ABC contracted with them to order the parts and complete the repairs. I am extremely pleased with the service and coverage provided by ABC, and how they managed the process with little input needed on my part. NOTES: 1. The cost of service amount of 495.00 as listed above is the cost of the warranty for a one year period. We bore no additional cost for the services described above, to ABC or Quality Air. 2. I will post a more detailed description of the HVAC repair related to the work performed by Quality Air, this post relates only to the ABC Home Warranty, which is covering the cost of the repairs, in addition to managing the process with the contractors.

The person that answered the phone was friendly and efficient - getting and giving sufficiently detailed information for us to make a reasonable judgement as to whether it would be a covered problem. The service provider called within the hour and scheduled the service immediately. I was pleasantly surprised at the entire process having read many articles on the inefficiency of some home warranty companies and the likelihood that issues would not be covered. It was a great first experience with a home warranty company.
Description of Work: They took information and and made the necessary calls to have a service person contact me. The person also informed me that there would be a charge IF it turned out to be just adjustments or a non-covered issue. She gave me enough information that I was pretty sure i had done all of the preliminaries and that there WAS a covered issue.

The seller provided ABC gas warranty when we purchased our new home. Last week our water tank leaked overnight, so after being awoken by wet cat paws, I was happy to learn that ABC has an answering service at 5 am! ABC was quick to call me back that morning. After initially giving me a window of 8:30-3 for a contractor to come, they called back and said he was on his way. They replaced my water heater that morning. Overall, I was very impressed with the speediness and responsiveness, especially right before a holiday weekend. Because it doesn't really fit into one of the categories, I have to mark my concern under professionalism. The contractor was not good with communicating how long the repair would take (even after I expressed that I had stayed home from work that morning and needed to go in). They did not clean up their mess. There are several places on my basement floor with drips of the silvery-compound they use to attach the pipes to the water heater. The wet furry gunk from under my old tank was just pushed to the side in a puddle, which makes me concerned that there's still gunk under the new tank (which now reaches to the floor). However, overall I was very happy with the promptness and ease to replace our water tank under the home warranty.

Fantastic. After our home buyer had the house inspected, there were some small items that required repairs. (Electrical, small plumbing, etc) The company was great to work with, seemed to have good contractors, made our lives easier as well as the sale of the house. I never knew a waranty company could actually do that. I only wish more realtors would utilize this company- same price, much better service. (I know this, as we have had terrible experience with a national chain warranty on the house we bought) If your realtor puts in their and quot;defaultand quot; warranty company, ask them to switch it to ABC.

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments. We appreciate your giving us high ratings for responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism. We apologize that you were not happy with your price. It is our company's policy to give you a free, no obligation bid before we do any work and based on your comments, it looks as if we did just that. I'm afraid that I don't understand many of your comments. If I understand correctly, you had a bid from another company that was 45% less than our company's price but you went with our company anyway? As for our price, it is based on our estimate to locate AND repair all leaks based on the fact that Columbia Gas had done a test to determine that you had leakage in your piping. We do not duplicate Columbia's test and guarantee our work for six months. Again, thank you for your comments and we are sorry that you did not feel that you got the best value available.

Previous homeowner purchased GasSafe warranty when the home was listed. We didn't give much thought to it at the time of closing. Recently we noticed a very minor gas leak in the basement. Called up ABC Gas for service. They had me first have Columbia Gas come out and check for leaks. Then made the appointment with ABC Gas. Repairman came out to check on the problem area and confirm Columbia's work to find they were wrong and he showed me why. Then found the true problem to be small gas leak at the main gas terminal. He fixed it no problem and charged us $0 for the work. After talking with him for a few minutes I learned what else this warranty covers....furnace, air conditioner (minus actual compressor), water heater, gas lamp, fireplace, appliances to name a few. All that for $85 to renew the policy for another year with no service call fee = sign me up for renewal.

It's notable that ABC was extraordinarily responsive to my original service request --- and it's equally notable that of the two other A-listed firms on Angie's List that I contacted, neither responded.
Description of Work: Columbua Gas identified the likelihood of a gas leak inside our residence, and after searching through Angie's List for prospective firms, I sent an e-mail to ABC after work hours that same evening. Promptly at 7 a.m. the following morning, a representative of ABC called and scheduled service for 8:30 a.m. The problems were corrected within 2 hours, and I was charged about 15% less than the initial estimate.

The customer service has been terrible. I had an odd situation where the previous homeowner removed the original appliances and replaced them. After calling ABC Home Warranty, I learned the appliances that I bought with the house (the replacements) were not covered. My frustration grew when Lauren (the ABC staff member) because I was just learning that my appliances were not covered. LONG STORY SHORT, there was no sympathy on their behalf but they have since decided that since I purchased house with replaced appliances that they are covered. BUT I AM STILL CONFUSED! I called today to have someone come out and look at a leak that has developed with the refrigerator. And I was asked if I unplugged it? No it's working and it leaking. But I still may have to pay 85$ dollars for someone to look at it and tell me if it is covered. The warranty cost is 545$. Thank God I did not pay for that- the previous home owner did. I would not recommend them because the staff has not been helpful or very friendly.

Response from ABC Home Services
First, I would like to apologize to the customer for the breakdown in customer service. We pride ourselves in providing a quality product at a good value and feel that great customer service is important to achieving that goal. As the customer states, hers is truly an "odd situation". From what she's described I can understand her frustration and would like to try to answer her concerns. That said, I have researched the issue and what was confusing is the time line involved here. The Home Warranty put in place doesn't begin when the buyer purchases the property. Instead, coverage is valid from the time the policy is ordered (to cover the seller) until a point 12 months from the closing. We cover the appliances that were in place at the time the policy was ordered (not the closing date). If appliances are switched after that then, understandably, we can take no responsibility for their reliability--otherwise we would open ourselves to unlimited repairs on potentially wrecked appliances. We were contacted by the customer's agent and she confirmed that the appliances were indeed the ones at the property prior to the effective date of the policy. The agent said she was in contact with the customer and would convey the information. Coverage for the appliances would be valid in this case. As proof, we have taken the repair request for her refrigerator. As for the potential service fee, we retain the right to charge for a visit to the property if there is not a legitimate repair necessary or if the repair is not covered by our Terms & Conditions. We try to screen for any issue that may seem obvious to some but could be overlooked that may not be covered. For example, in this case if the water is not coming from the refrigerator or if the appliance was unplugged (not uncommon), then we ask the customer to pay a reasonable fee for the erroneous call. In fact, we are the only company in this region that does not charge a service fee of $60-100 for any visit to the property--regardless of whether the repair is covered or not. All others charge a fee for all calls. It is worth noting that all of this information was presented to the customer in the Terms & Conditions that she should have received at closing. The exclusions the customer is taking issue with are common within the industry. We processed the repair request for the customer and are therefore disappointed to hear that she feels that she is currently not getting the coverage promised. The time line issue was previously resolved and it is our sincere hope that we may resolve the issue with the customer's refrigerator in a timely manner without expense to her.

The worker was prompt and gave a reasonable estimate, so we agreed to the job. He replaced the 10 ft section and left a 2 ft segment in place. When we told him we wanted it all removed he said that it would cost an extra $100 to remove the 2 ft section. I felt that he was taking advantage of us, but agreed to the extra charge to get the work completed. I will not be using this company in the future.

In my opinion, ABC should reconsider their flat rate pricing structure; which really takes advantage of people that need a simple repair made.
Description of Work: When I called ABC Gas Repair and asked them how much it would cost to locate and repair the gas leak in our home, they said they didn't charge by the hour, but rather by the job, and therefore couldn't give me an over-the-phone estimate. When their technician arrived, he told me that his company charges a flat rate of $332 for every gas repair, whether it takes 1 hour or 4 hours to complete. I was disappointed that I wasn't told this upfront when I called. Their price is entirely too high given most reputable companies charge about $80 an hour; and even a complicated, whole house job like ours took just 2 1/2 hours to complete. We ended up going with Columbus Gas Line. They checked every line in the house and made three repairs and charged us $202.

We were sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with our company. As is evidenced by our long list of Super Service Awards, we pride ourselves in offering the best service experience at the fairest price. While it is true that we do not offer pricing over the phone (instead providing a free, no-obligation bid in person), we do not have a one-size-fits-all pricing structure. As you can see from the large number of reports that were posted here, our pricing is anything but uniform due to the large number of variables involved in making gas line repairs--accessibility of the piping, presence of a basement, piping configurations, etc. For that reason, we would like to investigate where our breakdown in communication with you occurred but can only do that if we are able to access your job information based on the service address and date of service. If you are willing, we would appreciate your submitting at least the physical address of the job site to us so we can investigate further the cause of your dissatisfaction. It is our goal to resolve any problems we may have with our customers and, if that is not possible, then to at least strive to correct the cause on our end.

Along with the new gas dryer, a hardware store sold me a BrassCraft "Gas Installation Kit" - 'Everything You Need To Install Your Gas Appliance.' It didn't work. ABC Gas Repair came out the following day and connected a flexible hose to the existing gas line. When the hardware store delivered the dryer the day after that, they refused to connect the hose to the dryer. Since I was not sure how to make a safe connection I contacted ABC Gas Repair. They arrived at 8:30 a.m. on the next working day and completed the connection. They made no charge for this second call.

I called late Saturday. They had just returned to the shop, but they promised that they would send someone first thing Monday, which they did.

ABC personnel were extremely professional and knowledgeable. ABC personnel rerouted the gas line and tied it into the existing service line. ABC personnel checked my riser system and the meters, cleaning all of the existing lines, cleaning and repainting the pipes and fittings, and re-attaching the system to my house and foundation with brand new supports without being asked. This was all above and beyond what was in the written estimate though we still paid the original estimate costs. When Columbia Gas showed up to inspect the work and turn my service back on, the field inspector was impressed with the work stating that he knew that it would be good because ABC always does good work. Overall it was a very good experience, the work was done right the first time and the estimate was accurate.
