Review of the 247 Home Rescue, Home Emergency Plan:

This company is a complete rip off!

This company is a complete rip off! I took out boiler insurance with them and during my annual boiler service they told me if my boiler broke down they would not be able to get parts for it so I should buy a new boiler. They scaremonger you into believing your boiler will break down during winter and they won't be able to fix it. I started the process of getting a new boiler and paid them a deposit. I then did some research and realised they were charging a lot more than other company's for a new boiler and the new boiler insurance was a 10 year direct debit which they did not tell me about. They also did not tell me that I was entitled to a £250 discount as I had a policy with them. I cancelled the new boiler but the company did not give me back my £700 deposit. I phoned them several times and they said the refund had been processed and it was my bank that was keeping the funds from me. It was all lies, no refund was processed so I opened a dispute with my bank and got my money back. All the people that work for this company are in on the scam and are just trying to sell products. Don't waste your money go with another company! Reviewed on: 30th September 2024

Cheap means cheap do not expect alot

My bad and time consuming experience: I asked for annual service at the end of the summer. The engineer came and found a fault in the pump and left without doing anything. The heating system was not used over the summer time and was not working after I tried it following the service, but they refused to repair/replace the pump, saying it is a remedial work. I complained, but despite appreciating my frustration, they said they do not repair pumps and the cant help me. The heater was not working when tried so it is not an advisory job but tgey still wouldn't repair and they believe it is my job to do independently Fir unknown reason, they offered me 25 pounds :) :) :) which I, of course, refused and cancelled the policy on the same day. Fortunately, my home insurance covers the heating, and they have already sorted this issue out despite telling them that the service engineer found the pump not working. They simply said you heater is not working and you are covered. Customer service is another long story with one of them telling me 'do not complain as there is no benefit of complaining' When I asked him to talk to someone other than him, he said: 'I am the manager and the only one here and unfortunately I can help you'. The complaint team said they will deal with that problem. They, simply, collect little money to attract customers,however, you'll not know the facts until you need them.

Very poor service - take care

We had a very frustrating and negative experience with the company. They charged us a £95 call out charge having said we are covered by our service agreement, and then asked for over £250 for additional costs. Wenhave refused to pay, and it would have cost us just £150-180 to get it fixed by a local plumber. Now the issue remains unresolved, we paid £95 for nothing. Very bad service, we shall cancel our contract and not use them again. Reviewed on: 1st November 2022
