TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. NEVER AGAIN! ~ Replace Faulty Solenoid
I contacted AtlasCare to replace a faulty solenoid in my humidifer. Even tho I advised co. that Enercare (after inspecting) said it was a solenoid issue, a diagnostic test was req'd at $170. This was marginally acceptable as the $170 would be applied toward the final repair cost when solenoid was replaced.
Well, that never happened.
Instead, after a failed attempt to remove the part, I was told that due to the mfr’s atypical design, the solenoid was “impossible” to remove. AtlasCare then recommended that I consider purchasing a brand-new unit from them for over $880+.
Frankly, this was unreasonable. I declined and hired another HomeStars pro, who—without issue—successfully replaced the solenoid. No design issue. No attempt to upsell. Problem solved.
This experience makes it clear to me that AtlasCare prioritizes short-term $$ over long-term cust. relationships. That’s disappointing, a shame and, frankly, a bad business model.
