Complaint Review: OneGuard Home Warranties - Phoenix Arizona

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about the experience you had with OneGuard. We do apologize for any misunderstanding that may have occurred. Our number one priority is to provide an excellent customer experience and exceed all of our customers expectations.

Although your home warranty started just 5 days before this initial air conditioning claim was filed, we went ahead and sent out for service to diagnosis the problem you were experiencing. The technician informed us that there was a leak in the evaporative coil. The coil was badly rusted and not repairable.  It would have taken much longer than 5 days for the coil to be in this condition, as rust just doesnt occur overnight. You also disclosed to us that you had your own contractor out to your home a month prior to the effective date of your home warranty, to add twelve pounds of refrigerant and replace a contactor on your AC unit. This information you provided to us along with the picture we received from the contractor showing the severe amount of rust on the coil, indicates this was a known problem prior to the effective date of your OneGuard Home Warranty policy.

We never stated we would be replacing the AC unit if additional work was completed at your expense. This information has been validated after management reviewed 27 recorded phone conversations between you and our representatives.

Of course, sometimes we do make mistakes and when recognized we act quickly to rectify the problem to restore your confidence. We did in fact do that when you were misinformed about the cleaning of your coil. OneGuard did reimburse you $200 for your out of pocket cost to clean your coil. That being said, we have informed you that the rusted coil will need to be replaced, repair receipts sent in to us, in order for there to be future coverage for this item by your home warranty.

The intention of the home warranty is to cover mechanical breakdowns that occur due to normal wear-and-tear, after the effective date. The optional coverage you selected for Unknown Pre-Existing Conditions, is to provide coverage so long as the mechanical failure was a result of normal wear-and-tear and the breakdown would not have been detectable by a simple visual inspection and /or by operating the system or appliance. An inspection is not required.

We review all facts and circumstances regarding any claim that comes into our office. Before a claim is ever denied, we have three levels that review the details in order to validate the denial. OneGuard reviews all facts and circumstances regarding any denial and will always act with prudence and according to our contractual obligations.

Sincerely,

OneGuard
