"Technician looked at control pressed the liter button and the burner lite. He then wiped his hand over one of the side vents and said that could have been the problem...did not vacuum off the vents. Nothing wrong with control valve. Charged me $150 for lilting the heater. When I questioned the charge, he said that was a discounted charge. Never gave me an estimate for what the work cost...because nothing was wrong with heater. Talked with their manager and got the story about how much it cost to run the business. They offered to take $25 off bill. Their service assessment is $49...would have considered that to have been fair because that's all he really did. Have done business in the with A-Better Plumbing for home and rental property and charges were fair. Understand they have new owners. Senior taken advantage of..."

"Texas Premier Plumbing, Thank you so much for the amazing work you did today in Sugar Land! After the landlord sent out three different plumbers — and none of them truly fixed the issue — your team came in and got it done right. No more backed-up sewer in the bathrooms and tubs — such a relief. Even more impressive, by knowing your craft so well, you saved a beautiful, old oak tree that was almost removed because others wrongly blamed its roots. Your professionalism, knowledge, and care made all the difference. I’m beyond grateful. ❤️ Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Ronnie is excellent. He did need to come to my house more than once to get a handle on a hard-to-locate leak, but this is what he did on one of those visits: I had had very low water pressure for 18 months, following the freeze last year in February, and I had just never gotten around to taking care of it. Another company (large chain) had installed a new water heater 2-3 months before the leak discovery; at that time I mentioned the low water pressure problem at least 20 times but no one paid any real attention. When I called them back for an estimate on the leak repair, they convinced me that, with the low pressure and the leak, my house just needed to be re-piped and quoted me $8,000 - not including the sheetrock repairs that would be necessary. Thank heavens I decided to get a second opinion. Ronnie took a walk around the house and checked the gateway shutoff valve that I had used to turn the water off and then back on after the freeze. I had simply neglected to open it all the way - hands probably not strong enough. He then came back to locate and repair a very messy, hard-to-reach hot water leak for under $1400. The way I see it, his competence, his real interest in solving problems the simplest way, and his honesty saved me about $8,500."

"We had one of Custom Comfort Air’s technicians come out on 09/02/22 to give us a quote for repairs, our A/C unit was working extra hard and taking longer to cool than typical summers in the past. We also wanted to sign up for their maintenance program. The technician went up into the attic and gave us a $4500 quote for a coil replacement, to fix a leak and a Freon refill. He did not fix anything that day, but he did bust an insulated pipe from the A/C unit. I understand accidents happen. That evening, water was pouring through our ceiling in a steady stream and there was a pretty big puddle on our floor when we noticed it at almost midnight. We shut the A/C unit off, my husband found the pipe the water was coming from and patched it up. We called Custom Comfort Air Saturday and left a message. They called us back that day. Richard said he would send out a guy to fix it Tuesday morning (Monday was Labor Day) if the leak had been stopped. The same technician showed up to fix what he did and, since our A/C unit was still under warranty, it was going to cost us $2100 to fix what was needed instead of the original $4500 quote. This did not include the cost to fix the water damage he had caused. At this point, we had a piece of sheet rock about 1 foot long dangling from our ceiling. The technician didn’t fix the ceiling, dry out the insulation… because he’s an A/C guy. Richard was going to send a sheet rock guy to fix it. The man showed up, took pictures and said he would be in contact. He was supposed to come fix it sometime mid September, but never showed up. Well, it is now 10/10/22; well over a month since this has happened and our ceiling still has not been fixed and the water damage from the ceiling is spreading. At this point, my husband has taken 3 different days off from work so someone is home when the technician came to fix the pipe he busted and for the sheet rock people Richard “hired” to work on our ceiling. They never showed up. We found someone who does great sheet rock work and several recommendations and he gave us a quote. Well, Richard said he doesn’t want to use him (it’s our home his employee made a mess of). Richard said he would send someone else. On 10/07/22 (Over 1 month of dealing with this) a man called and said he was told to call us because we needed sheet rock work. When we asked who gave him our contact information, he had no idea, he just said someone told him to call us. I asked if he was from Custom Comfort and he said no. We told him no thank you. The complete lack of communication and professionalism with Custom Comfort Air, Nicole, Richard and the company is so frustrating and infuriating. The neglect for customers homes is ridiculous. The wet spot on the sheet rock has spread about 5-6 feet through the kitchen. WE ended up hiring the company we found originally; and he has taken care to dry out our insulation, replace the damaged insulation, spray against mold and mildew, fix the sheet rock and paint the ceiling. And we paid him out of our own pocket since we did not want to have mold spreading in our attic. I say all this because in the entire month that I have been watching the spread of the moisture, Richard and Nicole have given us the runaround and have avoided fixing their mistakes. And also, we found another company to fix our original problem with our A/C. They picked up the new coil, fixed the original leak and filled up with Freon for less than half of what Custom Comfort Air was going to charge us. Not only is Custom Comfort Air a company that is irresponsible with their mistakes and give people the runaround, but they are also gouging customers for their “services”. I absolutely would NOT trust Custom Comfort Air with any of their services. Date of original damage to ceiling: 09/02/22 Still getting the runaround: 10/10/22 - they will not pay for the damages they caused, which we fixed and paid for out of our own pocket. Richard will not pay because it’s not “His guy”. None of “his guys” have shown up to do any of the work."

We’re a home warranty company, a company that believes in providing the best service possible to fix what’s broken. Fast. And while home ownership has never been easy, OneGuard is rooted in the belief that life is more important than a leaky faucet. Life is about spending time with family and friends. It's about enjoying time in the backyard. It's about precious time. Time that you can’t afford to waste. Contact us today for your Arizona, Nevada or Texas home warranty service! A home warranty is limited to providing repair or replacement coverage on items when they break down as a result of normal wear and tear. So, proper use and care of systems and appliances is required for coverage. Non-mechanical parts or components that do not contribute to the primary function of appliances are not covered. Check contract for details. Or call one of our Customer Care representatives. We'd love to chat with you.

"I’ve been a OneGuard customer for over 10 years, but my recent experience was deeply frustrating. After waiting 10+ days for Sunbelt Electric (their only approved contractor), their tech, Frank, diagnosed a bad fan motor—yet OneGuard refused to replace it and still billed me the service fee. Customer service was unhelpful, offshore, and confusing, so I ended up paying out of pocket to fix the motor. I felt misled and stalled at every turn, and I can no longer recommend OneGuard."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.

Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.

Water softener life spans range from 10 to 25 years, with most lasting around 15 years on average. After the 10-year mark, you may see your softener’s performance diminish as it progresses in age. Proper water softener maintenance can impact how long your water softener lasts. Likewise, a home with very hard water or a high demand will put more demand on your softener, which in turn shortens its life span.

A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes.
