About HomeSafe

HomeSafe is a home warranty provider that offers three plans for homeowners: a systems plan, an appliances plan and a combination plan. HomeSafe has a relatively short 20-day waiting period for coverage, and you can choose your own licensed contractors for repairs. To sign up for a plan, you have to call the company directly.

Pros
  • Customizable plans
  • No annual price increases with continued coverage
  • Short waiting period
  • Ability to choose service tech
Cons
  • No cost details on website
  • Not available in California
  • Phone call required for sign-up

What is HomeSafe?

HomeSafe is a home warranty company with customizable coverage, flexible payment options and 24/7 customer service. Depending on your policy, HomeSafe can cover expenses when a system or appliance breaks down due to normal wear and tear. The company offers home warranty plans in all states except California.

How does HomeSafe work?

To get a home warranty from HomeSafe, you have to work directly with one of the company’s specialists. They’ll help tailor a plan to your needs, providing instant pricing and coverage options.

Once you sign up for a HomeSafe warranty, you have to wait 20 days before making your first service request. To book service for an appliance or system issue, you’ll file a claim online or call the company directly. Once the claim is submitted and accepted, HomeSafe assigns a vetted repair professional — or it can work with you to verify your preferred technician, as long as they’re licensed.

For each repair, a service fee of $65 is required. If a repair or replacement fails within 60 days, you don’t have to pay an additional fee for a technician to return.

On the other hand, if you purchase a plan and decide you don’t need or can’t afford the coverage, you can cancel within 30 days and get your money back.

HomeSafe coverage

HomeSafe offers a systems plan, an appliances plan and a combination plan (for both appliances and systems) called Best Home. You can also customize a plan to cover only the systems and appliances you want.

Add-on coverage is available for a wine chiller, in-ground pool or spa, well pump, water softener, septic system, and guest unit or guesthouse.

HomeSafe costs

Home warranty costs depend on the location and the level of coverage. Unlike some competitors, HomeSafe doesn’t advertise starting costs for its plans, but it does specify a $65 service call fee, which is on the lower end of the industry range. It also locks in your initial price — as long as you keep your plan active, your costs won’t increase with each contract year.

When we inquired about coverage for a home in Austin, Texas, we received the following quotes:

HomeSafe offers flexible month-to-month plans for those who don’t want to be locked into a contract.

    When I looked into the plan options HomeSafe offered, I found them quite flexible. They allow for an easy installation process, which was important for me since I have some devices that need to be placed up high, and I prefer not to climb a ladder. As someone who's retired but previously worked with security professionals to layout floor plans, this kind of stuff is familiar to me. What particularly appealed to me about HomeSafe was that their devices and features resonated with the solutions I'd seen and worked with before.

    Unfortunately, I haven't made a claim yet as the devices are still sitting in the box waiting to be installed. The installation was initially scheduled, but it got rescheduled and what really irked me was when I was informed the new dates would incur a $20 additional charge due to being 'special days'. This seemed like an unnecessary burden imposed by the install group, which felt like an unfair practice that may be affecting other customers too.

    Considering my current experience, I'd rate HomeSafe a 4 out of 5. While their equipment and options seem great, the hiccup with scheduling and charges left room for improvement.

      Going with HomeSafe for my home warranty felt like a wise choice. I’ve already had to use their service once, so I can speak to it. My most recent claim involved an issue with my clothes washer. HomeSafe managed the situation, but the real problem was with how long it took for the repair guy to come back and fix the appliance. A required part arrived quickly at my door, but the actual service visit took two weeks. In that time, I had to find alternative ways to wash our clothes, which was pretty inconvenient.

      When the technician finally replaced the part, he discovered additional issues that required deeper investigation. Though I was frustrated by the delay, the repair was thorough, and the washer is working well now. Despite the hiccup, I’m satisfied with HomeSafe as the problem stemmed from the service provider, not the warranty company. HomeSafe was proactive in contacting the repair service to expedite the process when delays happened.

      I’d definitely recommend HomeSafe to friends or family looking for a reliable warranty provider. They’re committed to getting things moving and keep their users informed. Moreover, submitting the claim over the phone was straightforward. I only needed to ensure payment of the service call fee before the work was completed. Overall, while the wait was tough, the ease of submitting a claim and the end result left me appreciating my choice of HomeSafe.

      Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review.

      We’re truly glad to hear that your clothes washer is now working well and that, despite the delays, you felt confident in your decision to choose HomeSafe. We understand how inconvenient it must have been to go without a washer for that period, and we appreciate your patience through the process.

      You're absolutely right—our service providers are independently owned and operate on their own schedules, which can sometimes lead to delays outside of our direct control. That said, we're very glad we could step in to help move things along and ensure your repair was completed thoroughly and professionally.

      It means a lot to us that you found the claims process straightforward and that you’d recommend HomeSafe to others. We're here to support you whenever you need us and remain committed to delivering reliable service and peace of mind.

      Thank you again for being a valued member of the HomeSafe family!

      Over the years, I've had numerous interactions with HomeSafe as they were often called out to my home for repairs. One memorable incident involved my 15-year-old dryer. HomeSafe initially came out to fix it, replacing a part, but it turned out they used the wrong one. With further investigation, and after having already invested $500, I concluded that sinking more money into it made no sense. Thankfully, HomeSafe recognized the situation and compensated me for a new dryer, which I appreciated.

      Whenever I reach out to them, I typically do so via phone, and I must say their customer support is generally commendable. However, the response time for claims tends to stretch out, often taking up to a week, which isn't ideal.

      When considering the cost, it's a bit complex. I previously paid another provider $35 a month, while HomeSafe's cost seems a bit steep now at $75. Though aware of inflation, I believe there might be room for a reconsideration on their pricing as the additional repair fees, like $75 just to start, are a tad burdensome. Despite these concerns, I'd still rate their service quality quite highly.

      I encountered some issues such as a malfunctioning washing machine, a problematic dishwasher door, and a faulty water dispenser on my refrigerator. The dishwasher had seen previous repairs through an old insurance policy, but I didn’t realize HomeSafe could have addressed it until the washing machine stopped working. Upon contacting HomeSafe, they advised me to get local repair assistance as there was no available technician in my area.

      A local technician examined all the appliances. The verdict was that the washing machine was beyond repair and needed replacing, the dishwasher parts were unavailable, hence a new dishwasher was necessary. Impressively, HomeSafe managed to replace both appliances. Initially attempting to purchase replacements at Lowe’s, external issues like tariffs delayed the process. Ultimately, we found availability for the same models at Best Buy and completed the purchases successfully.

      One element wasn’t resolved to my satisfaction—the air conditioner's erratic behavior persisted despite attempted repairs. Nevertheless, HomeSafe was proactive with reimbursements and replacements. I intend to follow up for further resolution on the air conditioner.

      The overall consumer experience with HomeSafe was excellent, they even referred me to their partner, which facilitated the financial aspects seamlessly. Despite some personal health interruptions, the support from HomeSafe was commendable and offered assurance amid the delays. I wholeheartedly recommend HomeSafe for home warranty services given the ease and efficacy with which they manage consumer needs.

      I filed an online claim for a dehumidifier through the HomeSafe portal, but unfortunately, I received no response. I filled out the form believing it to be covered, but after a month without reply, I suspected otherwise. While HomeSafe did effectively process and pay for a previous sump pump claim, which we filed over the phone, the online process left me unsure of my claim's status.

      In terms of necessity, as long as they process claims reliably, they are invaluable. For claims inquiries, the customary response time and method of communication remain unclear, suggesting the possibility that no contact is made if claims aren't covered.

      Despite preparing to follow up over the phone due to an available support number, I hadn't done so yet. The necessity to purchase a replacement dehumidifier influenced this deferment.

      Reflecting on my experience before this current situation, I would rate HomeSafe a 5 due to their previous efficient handling and reimbursement of claims, albeit with a personal expense for equipment upgrades. Their customer service warranted a 4, having required some waiting. HomeSafe's pricing seemed reasonable, earning a 4. However, the web portal rating fell to 3 for the lack of response to the claim.

      HomeSafe reached out to me and made a great offer of all the things that could be under a warranty plan. I took it upon myself to understand that it was the same as car insurance to where if something like my furnace or refrigerator goes out, I can call HomeSafe to handle the situation for a fee. They'll send out a technician to determine if the unit can be fixed or if it's fully messed up, they'll either replace the unit with the same item or buy something equivalent to it.

      The signup process was straightforward and smooth, although I haven't had any incidents yet to test the service's effectiveness when fixing or replacing items. Despite this, having such coverage gives me peace of mind knowing that if something does break, I'm covered. I'd recommend HomeSafe to friends or family, especially if they can set an affordable deductible that suits their budget. It's comforting to know there's a safety net for unexpected appliance issues at home.
