We called our home warranty company, and they said they would cover up to $600 (minus our deductible), which they said was the national average for that part. Afterwards, the tech said their national average was ridiculously low and that he was surprised they hadn't asked about the overall condition of the furnace and the cost to replace, because we really just needed a new furnace. He had us call them back and offered to talk to them about replacing the furnace, which they weren't willing to do. He said that if we signed up for the Service Plus service plan for $99, the service call would be waived (usually $79), and the discount would take the overall price down to under $800. We agreed to pay for the service plan that night so he could order the part, and that we would discuss a new furnace because our furnace was 14 years old and "at the end of it's life." I called a local, one-man HVAC contractor for a second quote on a new furnace and mentioned the problem. He said that the part for our furnace was expensive at $200-300 plus labor, but that it didn't sound like the furnace needed to be replaced. He came out the same day and realized that the flue was blocked in fifteen minutes. He had it cleared in less than 20 minutes, and the furnace worked perfectly. He said that it seemed to be in decent shape for it's age and would probably last at least a few more years, if not many more. Called back Service Plus to cancel the part order and the service plan and to ask for a refund, since the furance was totally fine, they were completely wrong about the diagnosis, and had been pressuring us into a new furance needlessly. Their manager was friendly and sent a second technician to inspect the furance and confirm that it was working and "would make it through the winter." Second technician was also prompt and friendly, and scoured the furnace for flaws. He described in detail a few issues that would eventually cause the furance to fail, and said that there was no way to tell how long it would last, but that nothing was immediately wrong with it. Called back Service Plus manager, who agreed to refund the extra $20 for the service plan, but said he would have to discuss a full refund with the owners, because they did come out for the service call. It's now been over two weeks (not including a holiday), and I have not heard from Service Plus or received the refund. Even assuming the part had been bad, their price was about double what we would have paid with the other contractor. As far as Service Plus being completely and totally wrong, it's hard to tell whether this was an honest mistake, or an attempt at using scare tactics to pressure us into getting a new furnace. Assuming our $20 ever shows up, calling Service Plus was a total waste of an evening and $79.
EDIT: On top of everything else, owner response to this review makes no sense. None of the Service Plus HVAC techs said the motor was overheating, and it was never recommended that the motor be replaced."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/in/indianapolis/service-plus-heating-cooling-plumbing-reviews-140447.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Maria Gardener","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Debbie H."},"reviewBody":"She’s is excellent.

We also wanted concrete edging around our flowerbeds and to border our patio. There apparently was a misunderstanding on where to start and end the edging but they quickly fixed it for us even though it meant more work for them on a very hot day. We initially just wanted to install a couple of the downspouts that are buried in the ground (the rid pops up when it rains), but after seeing how handy they are, we ended up getting more. It has been a few months since they did the work and we have been very happy with our new patio and concrete edging, and all of the buried downspouts are working great. Their mobile showroom is really nice as we were able to actually see and touch their products. Great communication, great work ethic, no complaint here. We will definitely hire them again.

Brittany went above and beyond our expectations. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and skilled. Totally satisfied with her work. Our house looks so good and I can't wait to get the decorating done. I'd use Brittany again most definitely.
They were real nice. They are always helpful. It was a holiday and all of my family was here when the furnace went out and they came out. I felt so bad because I felt like he probably should of been with his family. They were good.

"They staged the home sale & took $500 sunglasses from the great room by mistake. We immediately notified them w/in an hour that they grabbed the prescription sunglasses that were needed for driving due to my eye disease. We did everything: called a ton of times, texted & offered to meet ANYONE from this company ANYWHERE to get the medically necessary glasses. They simply replied w/ "sorry; we can't find them," ....and they won't return any calls or pay for new glasses that they "sole" from the home. We understand that it is unfortunate that they lost them, however, this personal property was taken from the home. It's their responsibility to make this right. The ONLY reason we are writing this review is because the firm has ignored our attempts to contact them -- blocking our calls, ignoring our voicemails & acting very unprofessional under a simply mistake they made that needs to be made right. This has caused us great harm and expense, as we've had to hire a professional driver in order to drive in the sun."
