OneGuard s Refusal to Authorize Timely Repairs on Covered Item
I would NOT recommend OneGuard Home Warranties due to their preoccupation with written procedures that conflict with good business common sense practices I have a dryer that is in need of a heating element and a drum that was marginally warped but does not interfere with the proper operation of the dryer Both items were backordered with no ETA The heating element which is CRUCIAL for a dryer s serviceability was received by the service vendor but they are waiting for the drum which does NOT interfere with the proper operation of the dryer OneGuard s POLICY is that ALL parts must be received before service technicians can be dispatched out to effect repair I ve repeatedly made calls to OneGuard s Customer Service Representatives CSRs requesting them to send a technician out to replace the heating element to restore the dryer to operational condition and to install the drum backordered indefinitely whenever it should arrive LATER From a customer service s perspective it would make sense to install the heating element so that the dryer is restored to operational condition FIRST as this is the PRIMARY reason for the service call CSRs are NOT empowered to make ANY decisions that may deviate from written policy and do not have the ability to provide access to management or a supervisor to resolve customer concerns OneGuard is NOT customer-focused and seems to be enslaved by the written policies they ve established and not in the customer s favor For those existing customers and those considering OneGuard for home warranty services you should be wary of any issues that could arise if assistance is needed from anyone higher than a CSR - they can t or won t help you My initial service call for the dryer was made on 3 7 2023 It is now 4 4 2023 To be fair it s important to note that OneGuard in general has been responsive to most service and repair needs and their performance has been good However the point I m trying to communicate to others is that there is no one out there to help you should you have an issue that extends beyond what a CSR is able to do You re on your own UPDATE OneGuard remains inflexible and refused to authorize a technician to install the heating element that is on-hand at the service vendor This means I will have to wait until a NON-CRITICAL PART the dryer drum is received The drum is on backorder indefinitely OneGuard s service standard is unsatisfactory and they seem steadfast and inflexible by NOT effecting repair when they have the means to do so To make my point see below OneGuard s response to my Google review Response from the owner an hour agoThank you for bringing this information to our attention and allowing OneGuard the opportunity to review your situation firsthand Customer satisfaction is our utmost priority and we sincerely apologize for the frustration We have confirmed OneGuard has explained the warranty process with you and we are always available if we may offer additional assistance Thank you again for your consideration - OneGuard Home WarrantiesIf you were the one with a broken dryer and knew your home warranty service had the part to fix it would you be satisfied with their response

oneguard is a SCAM NOT LEGIT AT ALL
On 6-17 I called oneguard to file a claim for a leak in my lawn irrigation system First thing they do is charge the service fee I was very specific on that call The calls are recorded Please retrieve it I said that I was not interested in finding my own contractor If they don t can t handle it then I DO NOT AUTHORIZE THE CHARGE I was assured they had a contractor and they would come out On 6-21 I called to check as I had yet to hear from anyone I was again assured that I just needed to wait for the contractor On 6-23 AS I WAS BOARDING A PLANE OVERSEAS I received an email that read in part as per our conversation you are approved to find your own contractor NO SUCH CONVERSATION EVER TOOK PLACE I was able to call again on 6-24 I asked for a manager I was told one would call me in 24 hours It is very telling when a company has no process to escalate a call A manager will call you Yeah Sure they will On 6-29 I called YET AGAIN and YET AGAIN I asked for a manager And YET AGAIN the answer is a manager will call you When I am still waiting for the call I was promised LAST WEEK No one at this company cares No one at this company will tell you the truth NO ONE AT ONEGUARD WILL HELP YOU

OneGuard is a SCAM
First of all the plan is far more than 59 00 per month I called for help with an irrigation system issue They charged the 69 00 fee and rather than dispatching the company they have always sent before sent me an email to tell me that I am on my own They agreed to refund the fee they charged before telling me that they could not help me with this I found my own contractor and 200 00 out of pocket later no more leak Then I needed HVAC help Furnace will not come on I had a great deal of difficulty getting the representative to understand furnace HVAC is NOT the hot water heater Paid the 69 00 fee again The following week I finally got a call from the vendor The following week All this time with no heat What if I had an elderly person in the house Tech will be here between noon and four It is now four fifteen No tech No call I called OneGuard to find out what is going on and was put on hold for exactly 21 minutes before finally the survey came on You can imagine how that survey went I called again only to have this representative transfer me to my own number I left myself a message Just try to reach a supervisor Will never happen It should tell you all you need to know about a company when they make it impossible to reach a manager This is the service FAILURE you will get from OneGuard After being with them for years and paying them thousands of dollars Trusted leader BS

Be very careful with this company
Be very careful with this company They are fraudulent We paid 2000 for a brand new air compressor After a few months we had issues with our air again The tech that came out today said that One Guard ordered us a REFURBISHED air compressor The tech said that these only last a few weeks They are using old equipment when you are paying for new And now they want us to pay 1500 again so they can send us another used air compressor It lasted 3 months why would we pay to be scammed again

Whoa
The technician that One Guard sent out to fix my a c issue diagnosed it as a blower motor Honor Air never gave me a price for new blower motor so I called another a c company It was the capacitor Next experience Called to have windows cleaned Service fee charged No company on their approved list so find your own I did Got their price approved for reimbursement Submitted the bill and I received a partial payment Now trying to get a manager or the retention team in sales to call me promised a call within 24 hours nope still waiting

Locked into one contractor of their choosing
We utilized the OneGuard Home Warranty for a condo that we purchased The main area where they were involved was in resolving problems with the HVAC system They would only use one contractor that was not performing well I asked them if we could use a different contractor and they said they only have one in the area they are allowed to use When it came time to replace the air conditioning unit the home warranty covered all but 600 and the cost of the crane used to lift the AC unit The contractor did not install the switches that alert us that there is an overflow of condensate under the unit or in the overflow line so the engineered wood floor that was 3 years hold had to be replaced for 6 000 I do not recommend OneGuard because they are using one bottom of the barrel contractor at least for AC issues which can be a focus area in Texas

Poor customer service management and poorer contractors
This company uses an asian or Indian call center who agents invariably have poor phone connections This is 2023 so you d figure when my cell phone comes up they d have all my information but not the case so you spend 10 min in buraucracy They keep using the same lousy contractor AZ Trademasters-HVAC who NEVER can get to you in less than a week and NEVER can get it fixed the first time It s 115 degrees outside and we have no AC I would find someone else
