This is the absolute worst! I called for a claim to repair my dishwasher. They sent out one of their preferred company techs. He messed around a few minutes and said he couldn’t do anything because the part was no longer available and left. I found the same exact part - serial number and all on Amazon. When I called back Home Smart said they couldn’t do anything so I told them to cancel. The next month I was billed again. I called back they said they had no record of my request to cancel but assured me they would cancel righ... read more

An unchecked monopoly operating with impunity, notorious for unabashed price gouging. If there were other options for energy in the area these guys would get left in the dust. Greedy overcharging company that needs to be broken up.

Do not use this service. It's a total rip off, offered by Xcel Energy. I paid $20 extra for a year to have my furnace cleaned or so I thought. It was not explained to me that this is ONLY for inspection of your furnace. I was told this service was for EITHER your furnace or central air conditioner. I don't have central air.. when I called Home Smart they told me service for furnaces was only $9 a month and that the $20 a month was for furnace and air conditioning. I told her that was NOT explained to me and they owed me a pa... read more

I've been paying for this "service" for 9 months now. I had a water heater issue 1/1/2023. I called and was disconnected MULTIPLE times by their automated system. The two calls I put in, one at 9:20am, and once at 3:40pm, they said I had NOTHING covered!!! I have my enrollment proof with the four items I chose for coverage. Apparently my account is screwed up and someone will "call me back" but when? My water heater is leaking... not a good thing!

Scam. Absolute scam. I couldn't even get anything fixed. The hold times are horrible, half the people that I do talk to are as confused as I am. I've finally had it and canceled my services after a 1 year contract. Called and paid off the rest of the year (Nov 2022) and specifically told them to not renew, and will be cancelling. They said ok, and I thought that was it. 2 weeks later, I got a letter stating that they renewed our contract. What?? I called again, and again was on hold for the longest time, and they said "Oh we... read more

KB called today 11-8-2022, after I requested a date for my winter furnace maintenance and was told it would be in March 2023, What am I paying for??? This is November 2022 not March 2023. Don't purchase this from Xcel/KB. I have CANCELLED.

Over a month to look at my AC unit. Said I was out of their repair area in ***************. Still haven't gotten the money they said they would pay over 3 months later. Even with AC failing would have been cheaper simply to not have the service and get the new AC unit. Strongly do not recommend.
