Casual extortion and deception is their business model
Don't even think about calling these guys. They engage in deceptive and extortionate "sales practice". Their current Director of Customer Success is open about the fact on his LinkedIn that one of his biggest accomplishments is that he, "..increased the company net contribution by launching a Direct to Consumer membership sales program." I would hardly call that an accomplishment when the revenue for that membership program was obtained by deception, and extortion.
We were quoted $89 for a call-out to look at the dishwasher. My husband then went out to get some food. In the minutes he was out, the Puls rep pressed a button on the dishwasher and said he had done a hard resert. He then told me I had to pay $250. If he had told us upfront that, "Oh it's not $89, it's actually $250" I would have told him, "no thank you."
He then said we should just pay for a subscription to Puls (where you can have them visit you for various repairs for a year). My husband had already told him no. I told him no again. He said well we still had to pay the $250 anyway. This was an obvious dodgy sales practice to try to turn a $89 service into an annual membership fee - a real bait and switch. He was a 6'0+ guy who would not leave my house, I am a 5'0 woman and when I pressed him on why we had to pay, he kept repeating the same talk track, "You're just better off paying the $250. It's just better for you. You get all this for a year." He did not even seem to listen to me.
It appears from other reviews that this is Puls' business model - to push people to sign up for their $250+ annual service, which we did not ask for and repeatedly said no to. It astounds me that companies like this are still in business - should have been hauled in to a court for deceptive business practices and extortion.
Avoid.
