I genuinely don't know where to begin. I am so dissatisfied by the service I am at a loss for words. If we were not locked in for another 10 months or so, I can guarantee I would have already cancelled my 'protection plan.' I am still trying to figure out what I pay monthly for! By the time we purchased a portable air conditioner & had our dog in daycare as the home was not livable, we could've had the air conditioner fixed by another company & in less time.
To their credit, after calling about the issue with our air conditioner we did get same day service as our plan guarantees. Unfortunately, this did not mean our air conditioner was fixed. It took EIGHT days for the proper parts to come in. It got to the point where we genuinely could not stay in our home because it had reached over 85 in the house as it was pushing 40 with the humidity outside. The technician disconnected all power to the unit so we couldn't even turn the fan on to push around the dead air. He also told me on site the parts would take no longer than 48 hours. When in actuality, they took 192--8 days as previously mentioned.
Nothing was ever company wide--timelines, policy's & general information was different every single time I called. If my husband called he would get a different answer than I received just minutes earlier. It was honestly hectic, frustrating & confusing each time we called.
I had also called other companies to find out how long it would take them to get the needed parts for a point of reference--each company told me they could have them within a day. This confused me as the estimated timeline from Enercare was 1 week. I phoned Enercare back & asked why their timeline was so much longer. I suggested if perhaps I was able to get the part through another company, they would be able to perform the service & reimburse me for the part. I eventually ended up speaking with management who told me I could certainly do this & then we could "request" reimbursement. Of course I did not proceed with the hope that I 'might' be reimbursed for the product that is covered under my protection plan. This supervisor also told me I could escalate my claim to the head office by following a few steps & would hear from them within 24 hours. I did said steps & never heard back from anyone. What delightful service!
Finally 8 days later the part arrives! We were told to call immediately when the part arrived so they could schedule an emergency service as it was their "top priority". My husband called before 5pm (as we were told if we did it could be scheduled for that evening) & after waiting on hold for 30+ minutes, the representative said she could book us a service for Saturday-- 4 days from said conversation. She claimed it had to be put in by the same technician who diagnosed the problem. At this point, my husband was fed up & asked to speak with management. Management apologized & said this is not the case (again, constant misinformation) & they would try for sooner. Then again after another 25+ minute hold, we had an appointment booked for the following morning. How booking a simple service takes 1 hour & requires management is absolutely beyond me.
In addition to the headache of trying to get our air conditioner fixed in a somewhat timely manner, I had a representative trying to sell me on Enercare's pipes & furnace plan. Given the circumstances, a pushy salesman was the last thing I needed to deal with.
So to summarize, neither my husband or myself would ever recommend Enercare's protection plan/ customer service etc to anyone. It was an absolute nightmare & I am beyond appalled at the disappointing service we received. If you are looking for fast, professional & effective service, please look elsewhere.
