Work on demand Arvostelua 

This company is a scam
They took my $100 deposit to schedule a plumber (they say they train and vet all their technicians) with the balance of $60 due after the service.
I was told that the plumber would be here between 12 and 2.
Around 11:00 a very nice guy shows up and asks to see the job.
I show it to him and he says “no problem, I’ll just go get a part and come back “ He asks me if I already have the cash for the repair and I say “ what cash “?
He says “ The $60 cash in the Craigslist ad”
As he is talking another guy shows up and says he’s here to fix my pipe
I ask him where he’s from and he says “the Craigslist ad”
He shows me the ad and it’s got my address and an offer of $60 cash to whoever comes over and fixes my leak .
I advise him that I’m sorry but I never put the ad on Craigslist.
I call Rentatech and ask where my plumber is and this very rude clown tells me he’s already been onsite for an hour.
I tell him that no one is here and he tells me there’s nothing he can do and hangs up
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AND DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY!!

I tried to schedule services with this company, the customer service rep was useless and told me to go die. I have all message interactions as well

If you are a handyman looking for work they will scam you out of your last. They say you have to pass a test that they have given you the information for then they ask questions that are not on the test. This is not a skills or competence test. This test is on 10 video segments on their website. The way around is to buy two courses which after saying all they need is certificates of completion for after presenting the certificates i was asked for two essays one seven pages and the other 20 to 30 pages.

SCAM
Don't waste your money

This company is a scam all they want is the initial $47 sign up fee. Ever since I’ve been ignored and hung up on.

Scam, buyer beware. Dont use these guys. I paid for a tech, they did not do the job and took the money. The exaggerate the hours required, prefer you pay via Zelle in advance so you cant get it back. In my case they assigned a Tech that did not do any work, tech closed the ticket as complete and company paid him out. Tech must have been laughing all the way to the bank. I called customer service and they just hung up on me 3 times saying they cant do anything about it and took no accountability.

total scam dont fall for ,you have to pay at least 50 for a uniform that you cant possess until you pass there test which is actually bullshit they set the time then when u miss it they tell you its east coast time .then i had tom reschedule and i got hung up on 2 times and finlly when i was able to keep them on the line the rude person did not belive i had a appointment so i hasd to hang up find the email where i was giving the appointment and send it in .so 30 after my appointed time i was able to call back and with a person with a attitude problem gave me the test which i didn't end up finishing because my 1 3 questions were ridiculous. basically i was told i had to memorize every phone number and email address to do with rentatech even though the only way
to commutate with them is from my phone to began with so sll that info is in my phone (your advised yoiu can not look at notes during thr test but the way thry have it set up it is impossible unless you have a photographic memory. And on top of that the 24 hours most people go to work is a total lie!!! the 1st appointment they gave me was 4 day off.i could go on and on but im sure you get the picture these people play string a long till you find another job . also u have to buy your own insurance to be able to work so the least money you HAVE to s[pend is 70.00 up front be fore you can do anything ! why has done ANYTHING to shut them down????????

This is a cash grab scam on independent contractors. Initially, it's free to start. You just need your own tools and transportation. Your application / background check gets approved way too quickly to be legit. Then, before you can proceed to "training", you have to buy a crap t-shirt and badge that they call a uniform. After the training videos, you can schedule an over the phone test or pay for the open-book certification. Scheduling the over the phone test turns into you need contractor's insurance to take the test, which they offer at $39 for 3 months with reoccurring fees.

If you ask to cancel the uniform before it even ships you will get "we cannot cancel it but if you prefer we cannot ship it at your request till your ready or ship it to an alterantive location", "we do not offer refunds. we can hold your order till your ready or ship it to someone else". One rep even suggested that I sell my ID badge and 'uniform' to someone else! Like it's a curse that I could get rid of by passing it on to someone else!

And don't try to dispute a charge that you tried to cancel or you'll get, "we will then use your social and file a debts against your credit report lowering your credit score... We will then tack on a $200 dispute fee and send this to collections
We will also file a police report against the information you provided (in your application)"

The general consensus of their customer service reps on not refunding is "...since it would come out of the employees salary who issued the refund
and the dispute would come out of the salary of the last employee you talked to
this place sucks."

It's a scam to sell T-shirts to people desperate looking for jobs. I paid 50 bucks for the shirt which is required. Then they have you schedule a test to take from watching these bootleg videos. And it's not like you pick a time that's convenient they just give you a time that you're supposed to call them. The time they gave me was 4:30 in the afternoon right when I'm picking my kids up. So you can pay 20 bucks to take a test written instead of over the phone and then you pay the 20 bucks to take the test and it's 50 questions in 3 minutes. And the questions have obvious wrong answers like how do you upkeep and maintain your appliances correct answer for them was yes. Yes is not the right answer to that question I have screenshots of this complete nonsense. These people are taking advantage of folks who need jobs and they should be arrested.

EarthCare (aka Rent a Tech) in Orlando is a scam, do not do business with them!

I contacted them to install a new water heater and was instructed to send a cash payment of $150 to schedule the job. They gave me an 11 to 1 timeslot on 12/26. I waited until 5 PM and no one showed up or called. I called them and they rescheduled the job for 12/30 from 9 to 11. I waited until 4 PM and again a no-show. They offed to reschedule yet a third time but I declined as I had to drive 2-1/2 hours each way to the location.

They said they would give me a credit but not refund my payment. Given that they twice failed to do the job I declined.

It was at this point that the representative explained that they are not a plumber, rather they are middle men who subcontract all their services.

I sent them an email with all the facts asking for my money back. I asked for a response within 2 business days and a check within 10 days.

I have neither heard from them nor gotten my money back. Earthcare/Rentatech are a scam, unreliable and insensitive to customers’ situations.

What a waste of $150

Stay away from this company if you’re looking to work as a handyman they’re just trying to get your money in different ways. Selling a classes or subscription. Don’t waste your time

Its a joke. You have to buy thier badges, shirts and insurance b4 your hired then they expect you to watch 10 videos and memorize them and take a 10 question test with multuple answers to the ?s. One question is a 10 answer question b4 you can start work. This goes on for months.

Do not work for this company make you pay up front for their shirts and badge before being hired $56 and tell you that you wont have to pay for leads but if you want first shot at jobs is 19.99 a month requested refund in email no response when called was hung up on twice last guy told me to file complaint with new president since he didnt like their company go figure but also to go their facebook testimonies all are reading a script and i wouldnt hire some of these to change a lightbulb

Steer clear of these people! I signed up to be a tech and before Evan getting in trading or to see how to get work, they make you pay up front before Evan letting get link to train. Once they have your money they make you go through hoops to get to see how to get work. Then when I want refund they just hang up on me when I tell them I need my money back that they are scammers.

Total scam, they want you to buy a uniform and their badges and all the training equipment supposedly, after you pay them several thousand dollars, they'll give you a job, but they have no jobs.they just take your money

Absolutely a Scam
If you're considering joining their team, don't.
I tried to join their team to pick up handyman work, and all they want to do is push products, from the BS uniform and badge, to the AI generated "handyman courses" that are completely useless.

You would be making a mistake if you passed on them just because of some haters.

This company is startup and though a little rough on the edges they are changing the contracting landscape and are probably ruffling many peoples feathers.

I have only had good experiences with them 10/10 would recommend and the majority of good reviews show that

The only service provider i trust in my home around my family

So many randos are out there on Craigslist posing as handyman ... at least these guys are vetted least there drug free... it's worth the extra price

Scam scam scam!! Probably lost 40 dollars on uniform and badge by because all they want now is more and more money wen they say they can get you working in 24hrs is a scam. They keep requiring you to do this or watch that and pay this well I'm a week into it and I feel far from ever seeing any work. There 5 star reviews are fake don't believe them it is a few individuals behind the scenes robbing people and it's against the jaw and I hope they get what's coming to them

Beware of Earthcare and Rentatech – Scam Alert!

I had a terrible experience with this company. Initially, I tried to pay with a credit card, but they claimed all three of my cards were declined. They then pressured me to send a deposit of $140 via Zelle, saying it was the only way to proceed. I was desperate to get the job done, so I sent the money.

Three hours later, no service was provided. I later realized they don’t even appear to be an actual plumbing company—they seem to operate as an agency or middleman. This whole setup feels like a scam. They go by the names Earthcare and Rentatech, so be cautious if you come across either of these.

I strongly advise against using their services. Save your time and money and look for a legitimate company instead!

A+ experience the tech did a great job replacing our water heater and just like earth people said he was licensed and insured .. very nice
