We called Mister Sparky for a home warranty issue. They came out to trouble shoot the circuit panel because there were no "in network" contractors in my area for the warranty company, Even though the warranty company approved them to come out, they refused to pay for a diagnostic. While I was on the phone dealing with the WC, the two technicians began trouble shooting on their own. They did this knowing there was a good chance they wouldn't get paid. Why? Because they felt the situation was too dangerous to leave it. They worked on the panel because Jonathan, the main tech, felt he "Had a moral obligation to make it safe." Those were his words. I assume they will take it up with the WC, but they did not charge me, nor did they leave me in a dangerous situation. I am so thoroughly impressed with this company. The price may be a little high, but you totally get what you pay for. They are clean, uniformed, neat, courteous, polite, knowledgeable, respectable, and follow moral and ethics that are rarely seen anymore. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with them.

We are elderly with large inside dogs that we could not take to a motel room. The prospect of spending the night without A/C on such a hot day was pretty gruesome. We were surprised he made it so quickly, but Mr. Willis told us he liked to keep his customers happy. He made us very happy. Our previous A/C man retired and we chose Willis Climate Control out of the phone book, because his add specifically stated he worked on our brand of unit. What luck to find him. He has serviced the unit three times over the past several years, including helping us with a warranty claim on the coil, and then subsequently finding that the circuit boards on the heating unit were fried due to a lightening strike. He has our highest recommendation.

They did not do a good job. They drank alcohol at my house while they were working. I supposed to have a 10 year warranty. I tried to contact them recently to fix the problem and they just tell me I had the wrong phone number.

First of all it took over a week to get someone to drive over from Tyler (to Longview). The person who came out grumbled about having to do the work since it was out of warranty. However, that was NOT the issue. It was a recall problem. He stated he would have to go back to the shop and order...

"Landmark Uses Disreputable Contractors ? AZA Repair & Brenovations HVAC Are the Worst
Landmark sent AZA Repair for my refrigerator, and they left it worse than before?still not working, scorch marks from a blowtorch, copper lines sticking out, tools and oil left behind, and no receipt. Then Landmark sent Brenovations HVAC for an AC motor replacement, and that turned into exposed wires, bolts hitting fan blades, missing parts, and complete disregard for safety near my kids? play area. Both companies were unprofessional, negligent, and refused accountability. Landmark?s use of these contractors makes me seriously question the value of having a home warranty at all."

FAQs for home warranty projects in Ore City, TX
Many benefits come with buying a home warranty when selling your home, but there are drawbacks to consider, too.
Pros
Peace of mind of home repair coverage
Incentive for buyers
Transferability to new owners
Prevent post-sale issues
Cons
Expensive cost
Exclusions of certain features or appliances
Coverage limits
Often difficult to understand
Potential wait for claim service
On average, a home warranty costs about $1,100, ranging from $80 to $8,300, depending on your home size and its features, type of home warranty plan, and the coverage included. Your home’s location also factors into the cost of a home warranty, with areas with a higher cost of living experiencing increased warranty costs.
Additional cost to consider include:
Deductibles: $75–$125 per call
Add-ons: $2–$35 per month
Premiums: $200–$1,200 per year
Several factors make a home warranty worth it or not, especially the age of your home and the condition and age of the appliances in it. If you buy an older home with most or all original appliances, a warranty may be worth the investment as these home features are more likely to need repairs or replacements. However, if you’re buying a new-construction home, a warranty may already be included, and you may not need to use it for several years. In this case, purchasing add-ons may not be worth the cost until a few years later.
Offering a home warranty when selling can make your property more appealing to potential buyers. The warranty gives them peace of mind that many systems or appliances will be covered if they need to be repaired or replaced in the near future. Additionally, the home warranty may cover problems that arise during the home sale, such as a leaky roof or water in the basement.
The main types of home warranties cover the basic essentials, but additional plan types focus on specific areas such as:
Appliance plan: This plan covers typical household appliances like refrigerators, stoves, washer and dryer, built-in microwaves, and dishwashers. It costs $360 and $540 per year.
System plan: Costing between $360 and $540 per year, this plan covers central home systems like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and water heaters.
Combination plan: This plan type covers both systems and appliances, costing between $545 and $1,500.
