Plan Coverage

  • The Plan provides coverage from the demarcation point, about 12 inches outside of home, to wiring that is inside of dwelling
     
  • Customer must retain the plan for 6 months from date of the tech visit to prevent tech visit fees
     
  • Closely follow troubleshooting steps to avoid rolling a truck for issues unrelated to our service or for customer equipment:
     
    • i.e. phones, TV's, faxes, relay devices, non-Company supplied equipment/boxes, DVD players, splitters, AB switches, RF modulators, customer modems/routers, etc.
       
    • If tech determines an issue with customer equipment, we typically do not charge the customer
       
      • However, we do not correct issues with customer equipment
         
  • Charges are automatically applied based upon how the technician closes the work order

Trouble Call - No Charge

  • Customers are not charged for a service call in these instances:
     
    • When subscribing to the Service Protection Plan and someone over the age of 18 is home for the appointment
       
    • When installed less than 30 days ago
       
    • When a TC is closed out as AQ - Tech Waived Fee
       
    • When becoming a FORMER customers within 6 months of a tech visit

Trouble Call - Charge

  • To avoid a service charge
     
    • Let customers know someone over the age of 18 must be home when the tech arrives
       
      • To identity customer was not home, close out code KO or KB (customer not home) is used
         
    • Let them know they may cancel their appointment before the scheduled timeframe if they no longer need a technician
       
    • Keep their plan subscription active within 6 months of a service visit
