My old HotSpring Tub wasn't heating up and lights keep flashing even after rebooting. I called multiple places and they are all booked up. Tyler came out right away after I called. He replaced the pump and offer a lot of advice on how to maintain the tub, super knowledgeable. We will definitely use them again.

Report
First American Home Warranty contracted with Tahoe Pool Service after my 13-year old pool pump developed major problems (we jut bought the house). After examining the problems, the tech submitted a replacement request, which the warranty company granted. The guys from Tahoe Pool Service kept me informed every step of the way, including giving me an ETA the day they arrived to do the installation. The install seemed to go smoothly, and they demonstrated my new 2-stage pump before they left. They cleaned up all their materials, and left. No complaints.

Report
I was connected to their electrical team through American Home Shield. The objective was to replace an electrical panel. They showed up quickly and evaluated the problem. However, after two weeks, i never heard back. I assumed it was just taking time to order the parts and set up an appointment to fixed the electrical panel. I eventually called them and was told they cant perform the work and dont have availability in their schedule. My frustration is 1) lack of communication and 2) not being able to complete the job, knowing what I was asking before they even came. Very disappointing. Im back
