Services we offer
We service Refrigerators, Freezers, Stoves, Microwaves, Range Hoods, Dishwashers, Garbage Disposals, Trash compactors, Washers, and Dryers. We service all makes and models. .
The repair person came out, told us we needed a part for our refrigerator, took our check, and then dropped off the face of the earth. Every time we called them they said they would call back and never did, they also told our home warranty company that they had completed the job when in fact they had not. I think this company is a scam. I think that people should know what a terrible company this is. It was bad enough that I joined Angie's List just to post this review. TERRIBLE. Thank goodness we went through our home warranty company so that we didn't lose the money, but we have now waited 2 months for a minor refrigerator repair and have to start all over again because of this company's unprofessionalism and dishonesty.

I did not know at the first call that he dislodged that mechanism so that it will work with the door open or closed! The following week, the washer would not spin while it drained, so the clothes remained dripping wet at the end of the final cycle. The repairman came again, pulled the washer away from the wall, detached the hose, said he needed a part and left. He returned and fixed the problem, and he left, telling me the machine worked, & I could finally do my laundry that had piled up after a week of waiting for his return. I started my first load, and although it was "working", something sounded wrong : the water was POURING onto the floor from the hose that he had detached but never reconnected! I turned off the washer, but the water that remained in the tub continued to gush out. I called the serviceman, and being that he was only five minutes away from my house, he came back immediately. I told him the problem, and he said, "I guess I forgot to reconnect the hose"! I called AHS, told them the issue, and they said that the companies they use have insurance, so I should not worry about the damage to my carpet, floors and basement. My insurance, AMICA, covered the cost of over $2000 minus the deductible of $500 that we paid. To date, Home Zone has not responded to any of the attempts made to collect on the damages they incurred with their carelessness! Stay away from this company at all costs!! If your home insurance, AHS or other, uses them, tell them NO. They should check out the F rating on BBB as well as Angie's List!
Description of Work: Washing machine was not finishing the cycle, so water remained in the tub without draining or spinning. They came, made an adjustment to the safety feature that ensures that the door is closed. A week later it stoppd spinning. He came back to fix the coupling.

See the above for details. The only thing I can say is that they are not truthful with the customer, neither are they competent in their attempt to repair.
Description of Work: I have a home owners warranty insurance policy with GMAC and put in a claim. Home Zone was the service provider sent. They did not fix the problem on the first visit. On the call back they did not show up as scheduled. Then when called by GMAC they said that my wife was mistaken about the scheduled visit. We had a written record of the phone conversation so we knew they were incorrect. We then had a congerence call with GMAC and Home Zone where they made another scheduled follow up with both of us on the phone. They didn't show for that one either and when called stated that we (both GMAC and me) had heard them incorrectly. During the meantime I checked on Angies List and saw their consisten rating of "F". I there fore asked GMAc to send me another service provider and they did. This firm should never be used.

Numerous missed appointments with no calls or explanations over a four month period. When they finally show up the technician (Scott) was unable to diagnose the problem. Looked me in the eye and flat out told me the machine had issues but he couldn't figure it out and he would tell the warranty company that the machine should be replaced. Let's face it...the dishwasher goes through the cycle and leaves the dishes as dirty as before it started - soap dispenser doesn't open, water doesn't get warm, steam doesn't dry. A little water swishes around. I'm not a technician but a dishwasher that doesn't clean dishes is an issue in anyone's book and unacceptable. Anyhow next day he puts in a report that he "couldn't find anything wrong" with the machine. Big difference between there is nothing wrong with the machine and he couldn't figure out how to fix it, wouldn't you say? The warranty company closed the case thank you very much for sticking up for me Scott and lying to me. After a long discussion and my insistance that my appliance was still not functioning the warranty company agreed to send another company - Universal 1 Repair that was able to diagnose and fix the dishwasher in one visit. Thank you Nick! Home Zone Appliance is never coming in this zone again!!!
Description of Work: This has to be one of the worst experiences with a repair company I have ever had.

Absolutely terrible. The process took over a month. Several no show appointments through the holidays. Extremely hard to get a hold of for a status update. Incredibly poor customer service. Failed to produce an invoice of the services. Do not use them and address the concern with your warranty company.
Description of Work: I was forced to use this company via a home warranty company. They were to install a Jenn Air oven/cooktop.

TERRIBLE! COULD NOT BE WORSE.
Description of Work: Home Zone is apparently just a referral service. It serves various people who claim to be qualified "repairmen". They pay Home Zone a fee for sending them jobs. I needed my washer door latch replaced--a small plastic part on the outside--two screws hold it. Would run only if I wedged door shut tightly. They sent a fellow named "Adam" maybe last name is Scout, maybe Scotch, he would not tell and Home Zone did not want to. He said he'd order part--took $60 (When I finally got the right part, it was $10 plus tax). Long time went by. Many calls to Home Zone--only cell number to call "Adam"--usually not answered. Many promises to come back with the part. Finally returned. After he finished machine would not work at all. Many more calls--he never returned. (Whenever I called Home Zone, the woman always said she was concerned and would call "Adam" to get him to call me. But she was apparently unable to do so. He didn't call.) When I got a factory-authorized service man here he said that "Adam" put on the WRONG part. And that broke the door lock, into which the latch fits. The door lock is unavailable, discontinued. So he told me to buy a new washer. NEVER let "Adam" work on anything you care about--that's my opinion. And Home Zone I would not trust to select a qualified serviceman, unless I had some proof of his qualifications. That's my opinion. I may have to sue one or both.

Homeowner has a home warranty and the warranty company denied the claim. Customer did not want to pay out of pocket to complete repair.

Very bad experience. Do not use them!!!!
Description of Work: Bad service. Tech was creepy (glad I had 2 dogs in the house). Could not make the repair until he ordered the part. Turned out he never ordered the necessary part (was told it would tkae 5 business days to get it). I did not know that until the following week when I called the company to ask when the part would be in. They said he would not return (could have let me know) because it was a "health hazard" due to mice in the house. Exterminator had been called after his visit and he put mouse traps in the house but told us there was no current mouse problem. I would be very carefull using this company if you have a home warrenty program. I get the feeling that they are working together to deny claims!
