How does HomeServe work?

HomeServe is a home warranty company that's been in operation since 2003. It offers various service plans to cover household systems and appliances. According to its website, HomeServe provides home warranties for nearly 5 million customers.

If you need to schedule a covered repair, you can call or request service from HomeServe online. The company will connect you with a local, licensed technician who can detect your issue and complete a repair.

The HomeServe app allows you to manage your account from your mobile device — you can make payments, add or cancel coverage and schedule service using the app.

HomeServe coverage and plans

HomeServe offers three service plans to cover repairs of your main household systems: plumbing, heating and cooling, and electrical. None of HomeServe’s plans have a service call fee. If you want to maximize your protection, combo plans are also available.

With each plan, you can choose the components you want to cover:

  • Plumbing: Sewer or septic lines, exterior water service lines, clogged toilets, leaking supply line to your hot water heater, repair or replacement of a burst interior water pipe and pipe replacement or repair

  • Heating and cooling: Heating and cooling systems, water heater, regulator valves, circuit boards and pilot burners 

  • Electrical: Electrical wiring and rewiring, outlets, switches and other qualifying repairs to wiring

HomeServe’s combo plans:

  • Home Appliance Repair Plus: Covers six major appliances

  • Complete Plumbing Plan: Covers seven home plumbing components

  • Premium Home Protection: Covers twelve home systems

Coverage options vary by location, so not all plans may be available in your area.

HomeServe coverage exclusions

Your coverage varies depending on what plans you select. It’s always wise to read the fine print on any warranty to give you a better idea of what’s included. Here are a few exclusions you may see in your contract:

  • 30-day waiting period: You can’t make a service call within the first 30 days of purchasing coverage.
  • Negligence: If negligence by you or someone else caused damage, those repairs aren’t covered.
  • Unusual circumstances: Damages caused by war, pandemics, natural disasters and other unusual circumstances aren’t covered.
  • Correction of repairs: If you tried to fix something yourself first, the cost of correcting mistakes isn’t included.
  • Unlisted systems: Parts of your home that aren’t listed in the “What Is a Covered Repair” section of the contract aren’t covered by your warranty.

HomeServe cost

HomeServe plans start at $4.99 per month and have a $0 service call fee. The monthly cost includes the repair or replacement of covered systems as well as a one-year guarantee on all covered repairs. Total warranty costs vary by plan and location — provide your ZIP code to get the most accurate price.

We requested a quote for a home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and got the following pricing information:

*Price quotes for Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the time of publishing. Prices and coverage may vary by location.

HomeServe discounts

Some plans include a 20% discount for your first year of service. You can also sign up for the company’s email newsletter and receive occasional special offers.

How to file a claim with HomeServe

You can file a claim with HomeServe online, over the phone or through the HomeServe app.

  1. Have your HomeServe ID ready.

  2. Describe the problem you’re having and share your availability so the company can send out a service provider.

  3. Plan holders can call the emergency repair line to request help. Once you file a claim for an urgent repair, a service provider should contact you within four hours.

  4. If it’s a less urgent repair, you may not hear back until noon the next business day.

You can track the status of your claim using the company’s online tracking system.

Coverage limits

The coverage limits for HomeServe’s plans vary depending on which plan you have. Check out example contracts on the company website for more information on all of HomeServe’s plans.

For example, the Exterior water service line coverage has a $7,000 annual maximum benefit in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In Spokane, Washington, the maximum for the same type of plan is $12,000.

FAQ

Where is HomeServe available?

HomeServe warranties are available across the U.S. To see if you can get coverage in your location, enter your ZIP code on the company’s website.

Can I pick my own service technician with HomeServe?

No, you cannot pick your own service technician with HomeServe. HomeServe works only with its network of licensed technicians, which means the service person who comes to your home is qualified — but you can’t pick who it is.

How do I cancel HomeServe?

You can cancel HomeServe by calling customer service, sending an email or contacting the company through your online account. If you cancel within 30 days of your start date, you can receive a full refund minus any claims paid. After that, you may cancel and receive a prorated refund.

How long is a HomeServe contract?

A HomeServe contract provides 11 months of coverage during your first year. There’s an initial 30-day waiting period before you can make a service call that starts immediately after your order is processed. Then, you’ll have coverage for the remaining 11 months.

Is HomeServe a legitimate company?

Yes, HomeServe is a legitimate home warranty company. It has been in business for over 20 years and has saved customers over $2 billion in covered home repair costs.

Does HomeServe charge a service fee?

No, HomeServe does not charge a service call fee, which sets it apart from many home warranty competitors that charge $75 to $125 per visit.

Still have questions?

Is HomeServe worth it?

HomeServe is worth it for homeowners looking for low-cost, customizable coverage for specific home systems who value having no service call fee. Its plans allow you to pick and choose your coverage to create a one-of-a-kind warranty that works for your home. The company also has a one-year guarantee on all covered repairs. 

HomeServe may not be the best option for homeowners who need comprehensive appliance coverage and fast service response times.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that each plan’s costs, terms and availability vary greatly by location. Negative reviews frequently mention issues with technicians, delays and unexpected charges. Be sure to read reviews for your specific region before signing up for a plan.

Take time to read the details of the plan you’re interested in and analyze the cost to decide if it’s right for you. Before signing up, check HomeServe's availability and plan pricing for your ZIP code. You may need multiple plans to get the exact coverage you want.

    Excellent experience starting when Brandon came out and gave us a quote to replace our HVAC. No pressure at all. When the team came out Preston, Anthony and Nicolas were professional, answered any questions I had as the project was underway, They placed tarps all over. Careful to remove the old furnace and install the new one. When completed Preston explained everything in detail. I needed some help setting up the thermostat and Brandon had Jose come by and he helped me with the set up extremely friendly. The permits were done by them. There was no additional charges. What I was told would happened went without a hitch. All three visits, quote, work and follow up the guys were all on time!

      Hi my friends. I rarely endorse anything. (Previous endorsements in my 20 plus years on Facebook involved, Babyfeet mask, and CleanEEZ wood floor restorer.) This one is for Homeserve USA. I heard about it thru Energy United, and I thought, sounds interesting. It’s very affordable, so I enrolled in several of their offerings. My house is older, so I was sure that any claim I might make, would have some sort of “hidden clause,” or “caveat,” that would deny coverage for certain events.

      Well, I recently, I had an outdoor water leak, and Bare Tech Plumbing came out multiple times to find it and fix it. No charge, other than the $40.70 annual exterior water service line protection. (Actual bill around $2,500.00.) Then I had an internal plumbing leak. (I had Interior Plumbing and drainage system protection.) Again, Bare Tech plumbing came out and fixed it. Again, no charge and they are very fast to respond. Needless to say, I also enrolled in Homeserve’s Exterior and interior electrical coverage and their Water heater repair and replacement. Both are very affordable and well worth the price. I am very pleased customer HomeServe USA! Thank you!

      I cannot praise them enough. The one reason I say this is on the coverage I have for the water lines, the toilet, as that is all I have used. I have several contracts with them. I also have choice which really making me shudder. I appreciate that they have the best plumbing company ever here in tucson. I pray this company stays with them. It's called zona plumbing. They are the best that I have had in the many years with them, but most of the others were good too. But this one is better, compared with choice gets the worst contractors to sign up, and they are not reliable. If Homeserve had more offerings like home appliances, etc., I would have them for that too.

      I experience the main sewage line crack/leak and called HomeServe (8/5). For a service that is an emergency home repair plan, their service and communication has been deplorable. To date as I am typing this 8:19pm on 8/8. The repair has not been done. I am unable to use the one bathroom in my home. I should have just had an emergency service plumber come fix this but my concern is that I will not be reimbursed for the expense although I have THREE plans with HomeServe!!! This is unacceptable and horrible.

      Fraudulent. I had a covered air conditioner problem. Their contracted company employees, a woman with a huge chew of tobacco spitting in my yard, and an older man who smelled of booze and repeatedly grunted. Immediately both bellowed obsolete and she said not covered. Thankfully left, l called HomeServe requesting a decent professional to check my ac unit and was told the people who came were the only company in my service area. After hours and numerous phone calls to horribly bad customer service and incompetent management I gave up and purchases a new ac unit with a 10 year warranty. 2 other people I know gave had bad dealings with Homeserve. Don't waste your time or money with HomeServe. Avoid or cancel their service. It is impossible to have this bad if results with any other company.

      HomeServe USA: We have had NOTHING but problems since HomeServe replaced 2 of our air conditioners not even a month ago. What should have been a straightforward installation has turned into a month of frustration, inconvenience, and poor customer service. One day I came home to find my kitchen flooded because the pump they installed failed. They replaced it, but 14 minutes later it still does not work properly. Since then have had 5 or 6 different technicians come to our home, and the issue still hasn't been resolved.

      The most recent technician told us he had never even seen that type of pump before. He looked at it, walked out to his truck to fill out paperwork and never returned. He just left! We've made countless phone calls trying to get someone to help us, but getting a response has been nearly impossible. We rarely receive return calls, and our air conditioning is still not working. No customer should have to deal with repeated equipment failures, water damage, multiple service visits, and a complete lack of communication after paying for a brand new system. We expected reliable service and professional support, but instead we have been left chasing answers while living without a functioning air conditioner.

      I also suffer from autoimmune issues and this has affected my daily day by day through the high temperatures. I cannot recommend HomeServe based on our experience. The installation, follow-up service, and customer support have all been extremely disappointing. We have an eyesore of some sort of contraption in my kitchen right now just so we have no leaks or floods from Happy. We also had to pay $600 to have the wall fixed, which they claimed they needed to open up but did nothing when they did. We found Home Serve the PSEG; they have a contract with them and even show up in one of their trucks. We thought by choosing them, it was a reputable company. DO NOT USE THEM!

      DON'T GET SCAMMED BY THIS UDON'T GET SCAMMED BY THIS UNETHICAL COMPANY!! Homeserve is refusing to repair or replace our cooling system and will also not issue a refund after I was told I would get a roughly $1,500 refund. I filed an AC claim with Homeserve on 7/21/26. We were told on 7/22/26 that the problem with the AC unit is the compressor, but that the whole unit should really be replaced. We were given quotes for the compressor repair as well as whole unit replacement. Homeserve called me after the repairman let them know the problem and told me that while we do have up to $2,500 in repair coverage per plan year through Homeserve, they do not cover compressor repairs.

      I then hired another HVAC company to come the same day for a 2nd opinion and was again told that the whole unit needs to be replaced. The 2nd HVAC company recommended checking on replacement coverage, so I called Homeserve and asked about coverage for replacement. I was told they will not cover anything for a replacement, but if the unit can't be repaired and needs to be replaced, then I would be eligible for a refund of roughly $1500.00. The department that processes refunds was closed for the evening, so I called back the next morning. The representative then cancelled my plan before I okayed it because she said they can't see the refund total until the policy is cancelled.

      Then after it was cancelled, I was told by the rep that I would have to wait 60 days for the refund, then when I talked to a supervisor, she said that I won't get any refund because the plan year reset in March. I have paid for this coverage for over 12 years. I have spoken to Homeserve several times about this issue, and every time I call, I get variable and conflicting answers to my questions. Even when I called this afternoon to cancel the rest of my coverage plans, I was getting contradictory information on which plan covers which issue. I have paid for these home service plans for over 12 years, and now that I need to use it, Homeserve will not cover repair, replacement, or refund.

      This company has very deceptive practices. The information I have received has been extremely misleading, and I am a rather educated person with much higher than normal knowledge about things like home service industries as well as insurance and other coverage plans due to my work experience and insurance license. I truly fear for Homeserve plan holders who dont know these things or how to properly advocate for themselves.

      I had 5 contracts with them, a customer for 6+ yrs only using yearly maintenance on A/C. The condensation lines need to be blown. This year it got hot very early April (on Staten Island NY). I went to put it on, heard like a banging and quickly shut it. Called for repair and Tech (Glen) came and said it needed some Freon fine, asked if he could do the condensation lines, sure no problem. Three months later my downstairs bathroom wall directly under unit has water streaming down. I call again and another Tech comes out (Chester I believe was his name), takes look and tells me that line was not only not attached to drain pan it was broke!!!! He tells me, "No problem. I'll replace line." A few minutes later he leaves. OK fine. 2 days later more water is streaming down and coming from under light fixture!!!!

      Call yet again a week ago last Monday July 20, 2026. Another Tech comes and informs me the drain pan that is connected to the condensation is cracked. WTF. Either the second Tech didn't bother see what he was connecting port to or the cracked pan connecting line to it. Either way they are responsible for the water damage to my wall and floor. After 8 phone calls, 2 to local office which was the worst example of customer service, I have gotten nothing but a run around and answered phone messages. Next call is my lawyer.

      In March of this year, I called to cancel all of my services. During that call, I was informed that the recurring charges would be canceled, though it could take 1 to 2 billing cycles for them to stop appearing on my CenterPoint bill. Unfortunately, the charges continued well beyond the two-month timeframe. On July 16, 2026, I called again to find out why I was still being billed. I was told that the remaining charges were for different services that were not canceled during my March call because the representative only saw one account and canceled that one.

      I explained that I clearly stated I no longer wanted any of the services. In my understanding, requesting to cancel my services means canceling everything associated with my account—not requiring me to identify and cancel each individual item separately. I also questioned how these additional charges suddenly appeared if I had never been billed for the accounts they now claim were not canceled. If those accounts were not previously generating charges, why did they begin appearing only after my original cancellation request? I believe these billing practices are unfair and misleading. I should not have to wait another one to two billing cycles for charges to stop for services that I already requested to cancel months ago.

They charge you over a 1000 bucks for a phony maintenance plan where they send an inexperienced tech to walk around hold a thermometer near your unit tell you all is well when the units are barely pushing air and really need a deep bib cleaning; then recommend condenser and mold spray for you to use on your own which causes black flakes to shoot out of your unit for a year or more. Then just proceed to use hose on the outside condenser. They caused more trouble than helped.

      I have had Homeserve for I think three years now. I have never had a positive experience with this company. Their network of providers for lack of a better term just suck. The first time I called them I had a broken water pipe in my front yard. I ended up calling a local plumber and paying for it myself. They could not get anybody to show up in a reasonable time frame. Now my water heater is down, and it will be about four days in total to get it fixed. My plan covers the first $1500 and I have been told my part will be $750. That's $2250 total. It would cost $2500 to just replace it.

      HomeServe Does not allow me to just pay another $250 and get it done. Instead, I will be without hot water for about 4 days. I have purchased a new plan with a different company that will be active in 15 days. Twice I had cooling system tune ups. It took more than a week to get someone to show up at a time we would be home. In short, they suck at what they do. We are done with homeServe and save yourself the frustration. Don't start with them is my advice.

      My refrigerator broke down, paid deductible $100 for repair, Tech said that refrigerator is can not be repaired, called HS with was a transfer from IGS, they told me that I would have to purchase a refrigerator myself and they they would refund for the purchase after I submit the receipt. I buy another refrigerator for $1268, email the receipt, lady calls me 7 days later and tell me I would be receiving $248, when I questioned it I got disconnected. I called back and was told the person I spoke with was no longer in the office. I asked that person if that was the right amount, and they took 15 min and came back and said no, I think they looked at your receipt wrong, you should be getting back what you paid for the new refrigerator. She said that she sent the email to Bobbie who will call me the next day.

      I waited. No call, I called them and got a guy. Told him the situation. He told me the same thing that the lady said 2 days before. He sent me to c/s. Told that person the situation, they said that there was a mistake and that this Bobbie was out of the office, that she would call me the next day. Bobbie tells me if the cost of the repair was lesser than the cost of the refrigerator then that is what you get, wait the refrigerator could not be repaired, she didn’t want to hear me so I asked for a supervisor. I was on hold for 50 mins.

      I was told that I was being transferred to Supervisor Nicole, that like Bobbie was no help. And stated the same thing that Bobbie said. They kept saying to refer to my contact, I never received a contact, I was transferred to them by IGS, who stated that my appliances was covered 100%. It’s best to go with a true home warranty company, because the money I pay them per month I could have purchased my own refrigerator without any headaches.

      Unfortunately it took me years to write this review not expecting that what transpired before will have some ramifications to what I have experienced trying to continue my warranty coverage with this home warranty company. I few years back, I had to discontinue with my service because of financial hardships but before that happened I called in for a service on a plumbing leak whenever I use my washing machine. Service technician arrived and looked at the source where the leak is coming from. He concluded (not doing any physical work to solve the problem) that they will have to come back and bring some proper equipment (camera) to see where the leak is coming from. That was the end of that scenario/claim.

      Today(June 5th 2026) I called in to pursue and continue( reinstate) my warranty coverage in spite of the fact that our budget is still tight and because both me and my wife are now seniors (72+ years) an extra hand to cover and take care of these household problems will come in handy specially if we have a home warranty repair service to depend on. Lo and behold my application to continue my coverage was denied because of the reason that we had an unsolved claim before, when I asked for the details of that claim, I was told that they don’t even have a record of that claim and nothing was done to solved that problem on their part.

      I was judged and told of not being qualified to purchased a warranty service for being truthful in bringing up something that happened before, something that they should have followed up to solved my concern and also considering that they don’t even have a record of that claim! I was told and informed that since our conversation is being recorded, this will now serve as officially their information and record as of today. So, you be the judge if you want to do business with a company that is in- compassionate, inconsiderate only interested in making a profit from you and also so disorganized and undependable in filling their paperworks/records.

      Never accepted their service, told them, "No thanks." When it was offered by Comcast, still signed me up on autopay to boot. When I finally relized they were charging my bank every month, I didn't even at the time know what Homeserve was I thought it was like serving legal papers over email kinda thing. Fast forward a couple months of no payments because my bank blocked the charge on ther end. 3 calls a day minimum asking why I hadn't paid, short answer I didn't want it, need it or sign up for it that's why. 4 months later they still trying. Called customer service, picked within 3 minutes of my phone call, and said, "We don't handle canceling here, we will transfer to that team." I sat on hold for 3 hours and finally hung up.

      Later on a few days later and not a weekend this time I tried again, thinking hey, maybe that part is just not good on weekends, nope, 2 and a half hours on hold. Gave up, paid the amount and called customer service again to remove autopay because account is now current. The rep tells me it won't be able to pull money now and it will auto cancel because of that so we shall see. Interesting because I failed to pay them for at least 2 months and it didn't self cancel hmmmm we shall see I guess. Side note outbound call team has rudest reps. They will make personal digs at your life to try and make you feel like shit and just pay.

      I live in Auburntown Tennessee and the HomeServe main office is in Chattanooga and I was told I was given wrong information after talking to 4 customer service representatives. On the fifth call I was told that this is the right information as that Representative went back and forth with upper Management who I would say did not care about the facts, history or anything else about customer service. I highly recommend you contact another home protection service other than HomeServe.

      This will be our last year, we had HomeServe in NY for 8-10 years with no issues, this is our second year with them in Tennessee and it has been nothing but Trouble. Hopefully my over 2hr call today!!!! Has straightened out the situation, time will tell!! Lol 😂. Just beware. I have warned y’all. It would have been a 0 rating but not available. The Representatives represent the company right or wrong and they should make good on what they tell Customers like me. Have a Blessed day!!

      I still have a small leak!! HomeServe sent a plumber out to find the leak and he could not find it. He is said call Aqua and have them check the meter, which I did and they said It was not the meter and the meter is still turning slowly, please send another plumber out that can fix this problem before it gets worse, the plumber that came out was B K Plumbing LLC. I was very unhappy with him. Thank you.

      I pay HomeServe for the Interior Drainage and Plumbing coverage. I had a leak from my bathroom leaking into my garage. It was a small leak. I also have a slow drain toilet and dishwasher. They sent a plumber from K&S Plumbing name Harley to my home. So he gets there and I'm showing him the issues. So he had me to turn my water on and it's running and he said because my pipe is not wet, I don't have a leak in my garage. I said, "Sir it was leaking on yesterday. I'm not sure why but something is wrong. I don't want to come home and my garage is flooded." Then he takes pictures of the pipes. So I said, "What about the slow drain from my toilet and dishwasher." This man told and I quote, "There is nothing I can do". I'm like aren't you the plumber????

      He goes to the truck and get the pumper thing, he blowed it twice in the toilet. It didn't work. I said, "Sir you are not doing anything that we haven't already done on our own." He told me to get another toilet. Then had the nerves to say I will receive a notification to rate him and ask him to give him a 5 star. I told him straight up, "Sir you don't want me to rate you." Telling me that I will have a chance to win $250 for rating him and that he will get more contract jobs from HomeServe. I told him I will be cancelling homeserve as soon as you leave. So he leaves and goes to his vehicle.

      I stood in my living room watching him to see how long it was going to take to pull off. He sat there for about 15 minutes before pulling off. So I called HomeServe and cancelled my services and told them to take me off the mailing list. I said, "You all paying this contractor and he didn't do anything." Google had more information and steps about a slow drain toilet than what Harley did. So I'm going to pay out of pocket for a direct real plumber to come and resolve my issue on Monday. Waste my time today!!! Giving Harley a 1 star and Home Serve. I encourage you all to get your loved ones to learn a trade. HVAC, Plumbers, Electrician, and Construction and do with Integrity to our companies like this out of business. Customer Service and quality of work in this day and time are no longer.

      Years ago, I was convinced by our local (Harrisburg, NC) gas company to sign up for "water heater insurance" through Home Serve. After many years (and lots of money paid in monthly premiums) our H20 heater failed. We contacted Home Serve to notify them and I have to say, they have the worst customer service I've ever encountered. No one picks up calls, messages are ignored, requests for returning calls are ignored and when someone finally calls, they're curt and offer no help. It took a full week for them to send out a tech (plumber) for evaluation, and we were told that it did in fact, need replacing; then nothing. No follow up nor contact. Not to mention that they tried to gouge us with a highly inflated price to replace (well over the benefit amount). Obviously trying to scam us by requiring an additional $850.00 over the benefit. Stay away from Home Serve.

      I called them recently for an issue clogging of entire house sinks and commodes. It happened 6 months ago as well. That time they fixed it and they said my coverage is fine and I don’t have to pay anything but this time the guy they sent he said for the same issue my insurance will not cover it. Not only that I know how much snaking costs but this guy is trying to charge me a lot. I am not sure that I want to continue with the same insurance or not.

      Called for repair of my dishwasher in February 2026. A technician was dispatched from contractor company Appliance Care. Technician assessed the problem and said he was going to order parts. Called Home Serve in March to follow up on the status of my Claim, transferred to parts who stated parts were delayed. Called back in April 2026 to find out the status of my claim and was given the run around. Called back in May 2026 and told I will receive a payout deposit to my account by completing a form with my account information for deposit which I did.

      Emailed Home Serve customer service agent who then told me after receiving my signed account information form that it will take another 3 weeks (15 business days) before the Home Serve finance department will make the deposit to my account! Meanwhile I pay my premium every month! This is a poorly ran company, especially for appliance repair services. I do not recommend this appliance warranty.

      We’ve had HomeServe for several years. Their ‘timeliness’ is poor. The people you speak to on their toll-free line are very polite and want to be helpful. But if the appointments for their (evidently one appliance repair person for the entirety of Long Island) is ‘booked up’, you may wait a week to two for HomeServe to get you on the schedule - in which the repairman does not show in the time frame you have been given 90%+ of the time. If this is the type of service you are okay with, then Homeserve is for you. The guy who shows is nice, polite, and competent. One is grateful to him for simply showing up. BUT, if your time is not valuable, and you don’t need a kitchen appliance repaired promptly, then HomeServe IS for you.

      On a current service request, it took 3 separate, exasperating phone calls over 7 days for HomeServe to reach out to the repairman to offer me time slots for the repair. Again, returned phone calls (promised to me during the first two phone calls) were not returned, prompting me to call the third time 7 days later. I finally got on the schedule, and then things proceeded as expected. But in this instance, a part had to be ordered, and though the repairman told me we would hear from him the next day, of course, 4 days later, I had to call Homeserve and ask Homeserve to ask the repairman to let me know what was going on. I pay way too much for their appliance contract to receive this type of service.

      I had a water line break in my front yard in January 21. The first plumber contacted said they could not come out until February 4. I called back and they sent a different plumber the next day. Because of the cold weather that plumber said they could not get it fixed right away due to other jobs they had going on. It was not until February 2 that they came back to fix it. It only took them one hour to do the repair. The lawn was supposed to be reseeded by them but as of May no one has contacted me to do it. My water and sanitation bills were outrageous and even though the waterworks made a nice adjustment but I still had to pay more than my normal cost.
