I had low water pressure throughout my home and utilized the plumber HomeServe sent out to do the repair. After the work, I had no water pressure inside my home. Using this company has been a traumatic experience for me.

I had a sewer/waterline contract with Service Line Warantees and several years ago it appears that HomeServe bought them out. My low rating comes from the fact that while their business says they have a 24 hour hotline (which would make you believe they would take care of your problem fast) they don't schedule contractors for several days. I got scheduled 4 days later and that contractor had to come back claiming he didn't have the right tools (plus he told me to call the city as they need to clean the sewer). He came back and claimed he completed his part of the job but I needed to call the city to finish it. They came out again and told me it was on my property and they couldn't take care of it.
This contractor had me sign "completed successfully" forms before he even *began* his work. So I needed another service call and again got one scheduled 4 days later (remember I had a clogged sewer that presented limitations as to how I could live my life). When the contractor left he told me to go lightly on the water or it would back up into my house. Sure enough, 2 days later it did back up and this was on a Saturday. I called the 24 hour hotline and the rep said I had an appt scheduled in 4 days. I had to scream at him to say it was an emergency. He actually heard me and got a plumber out that day... but this guy couldn't finish the job either.
Again I was warned not to put any solids down my system and he told me he'd be back on Monday. He never showed up. I called the hotline again and found out that they couldn't get anyone out to me until Tuesday. It was a very very uncomfortable few days. On Tuesday a different contractor showed up and fixed the problem in 10 minutes flat! Why I had to suffer with this problem for close to a whole week I don't know. I'm going to shop for another company to service my sewer line/waterlines.

On 12/21/24 my gas furnace stopped working. As an 82 yr old recent widow, I called Homeserve, as I have been a customer for many years but never used their services, was greeted by a pleasant male voice, who thanked me for being a long time customer, and I told him my problem; and he said I would receive an email shortly from the service company with an appointment.
A few minutes later at about 6PM I received an appointment for the next day between !!AM & 11PM. I called the service company and told them I needed someone here tonight as the temperature outside was going down to 10 degrees, and this is a gas furnace and I don't know what is wrong and I also don't want theater pipes to freeze. He told me that when he was called he told them he had no one to send out tonight as it was their Christmas party. I called Homeserve back and told them this and a person who identified herself as Angel, who was very rude and told me my account was suspended as I did not renew my contract, even though it renews automatically and I paid 3 months in advance Sept 24 via my MasterCard and I have the statement in front of me.
She transferred me to customer service which closed at 4PM and it is now almost 7PM. I had no choice so I went online to search for someone near that has emergency service and I found someone in Scranton, a short distance from my home who sent someone out at 10PM and in one hour I had heat, at the cost of $240.00, which I paid. It is now March 2nd and I have been trying to get reimbursed my $240 but despite calling the reimbursement and sending the copy of the bill and the claim number given to me, and following all the instructions I was given, I still do not have any payment. I have called several times but get the runaround. I am totaled disgusted with Homeserve, and I am paid up until the end of March and I will cancel this company, nothing but a scam.

HomeServe/Dominion Energy are connected and fraudulently added this service on my new electrical account without confirming with me, based off an old account which I didn’t realize they were still billing me since 2016. They are refusing to give me a refund, so I’m going to write letters to the PSC and ORS. I never asked to continue services.

We hired Greg Frey Construction (Ludington, MI) to replace and extend the second-floor deck on our house in Oceana County, MI. This included replacement of the current rubber roof over the entire project with the addition of a metal roof (~50%), and new Trek deck (~50%). During the proposal process Greg stressed that as a general contractor for over 25 years, this would be an easy project and he has installed numerous decks (rubber, metal and wood/composite).
Unfortunately, the entire experience was extremely disappointing due to numerous errors, rework and very hostile communications from Greg and his 23-year-old son who conducted most of the work. Unfortunately, his son was unsupervised by Greg during the entire project, which led to most of the problems and rework. On numerous occasions, Greg informed us that he had just purchased several lots and was quickly building numerous million-dollar homes that took his time off our $90K project.
I’m posting this review due to their poor performance as contractors and willingness to take care of the remaining numerous issues. Plus, due to their lack of or hostile communication style the entire project has been extremely frustrating. The project has deteriorated to a level that is no longer acceptable nor tolerable. For over a year. We have sent multiple emails, texts (documented) and phone messages regarding these issues with minimal to mainly no responses. We have tried on numerous occasions to try and work through these issues but it’s impossible when there are no responses or willingness to repair their work.
We have given Greg multiple opportunities to repair the issues but now are forced to use another company to fix the issues due to the lack of willingness to honor his stated warranties. This will cost us an additional $25K for needed repairs. We are forced to take Greg to court for the damages incurred. We had a process agent try to serve Greg the affidavit for court but he had his young son answer the door to tell the agent his dad was in the shower. The Server waited for over 25 minutes and another individual in the house came to the door to let the agent know that Greg was not coming to the door.
Ongoing issues at hand concerning the workmanship of this project: Leaking of deck/roof through the tongue & groove ceiling into our sunroom: The rubber roof under the deck and roof was not properly installed and will need to be replaced. Rear Gate between metal roof and deck: required numerous repairs as the inside is falling apart, paint continually peels and is not level. Holes on post: There are several posts where the contractor did not measure correctly and left holes on the post. They tried to repair it with putty, but the repair has changed color and can be clearly seen.

6 weeks have gone by since I made my first claim on a clog in my sewer line. Since then, HomeServe has sent out 12 plumbers on 5 different occasions. Each time a new plumber group showed up I would have to tell them what the previous plumber had done. I found out through the local electric company as they were marking my yard that there would have to be digging involved. That was 2 weeks ago. Since then, we had a major rainstorm that flooded my basement with 6 inches of water and damaging my water heater. Had the clog been fixed in a timely manner, my sub pump would have prevented this.
Plumber #12 showed up 3 days ago with no equipment and by himself. Again, I had to explain what the previous plumbers had done. He took 3 minutes to look around the yard and came to the conclusion that a tree on the opposite end of the yard and house from the sewer line was the culprit and that I would have to pay for the tree and stump to be removed before any progress would be made. The 11 previous plumbers who actually worked on the line made no mention of the tree.
I contacted customer service who made it clear that this is my problem and not theirs until this tree is removed. The tree that has no contact at all with the sewer line. I also feel compelled to point out that HomeServe used United Plumbing the first 4 visits until I requested another company due to not only lack of progress but even more damage (according to plumbers #10 & 11). I bring this up because HomeServe owns United Plumbing which makes me feel they have dragged this out on purpose to cap out my claim while doing minimal work. Given the lack of concern or interest in fixing their mistakes, I am compelled to seek legal action in the matter. My advice is read your local reviews before considering HomeServe.

The extended delay in approval is inappropriate when the plumbing system is not working properly. My wife is disabled confined to the house oxygen. We are both on ** and have stomach issues. To not have a toilet to use for several days is a major issue and a health hazard. I paid the $65 deductible and nothing was did to repair the problem. I called your company about this and was informed that it was an expected delay. If this is how your warranty works it is a joke. Homeserve with Louisville Water approves repair immediately, but will not replace the toilet if needed.

This company has been the worst! I feel horrible that I have referred some of our clients here, so I will say this loud and clear….BUYER BEWARE AND DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY!!! Homeserve allowed another person, who was not the owner of the property or paying the bill to Homeserve or even listed on the account, to cancel my plan! They never reached out to me to inform me that someone was even trying to cancel my plan! Then when the tenants moved out, they destroyed my property and the appliances. I called into my account at homeserve, which was a hassle all on its own, only to find out that they couldn’t find my account then told me it was cancelled!
Homeserve lost my accounts during, what they called it, the “migration” and when I asked why certain items were not on the list of my covered items, from when I set this up with excel energy, i.e. my dishwasher, their response was “we are not sure, you’ll need to speak with excel about that!” This all started back in October of 2024 and I was told they were having issues with the leadership team and that for my troubles I would receive a years worth of coverage for free, sounds fine right? WRONG! They proceeded to tell me that my dishwasher would not be covered and then proceeded to charge me for November, December and January! I was told I would receive a call back from leadership in, around, 5 business days, that was the beginning of November, I never got a call back and had to call them back in JANUARY!!!
Had to go through the same exact issue, told the same exact thing that leadership would call me back in a certain time frame and guess what….NOTHING! I had to call back again!!! I started taking copious notes and even recording conversations since they will not send me the “notes” they make nor the phone calls they “record” so I also asked a few times if the rep would be okay with me recording the calls since I could not get anyone to call me back. I finally got a call back from someone by the name of Lauren ** who was able to find my accounts and found out that homeserve was actually billing my property for two separate accounts! She stated that I did have coverage for the dishwasher and all seemed like it was getting taken care of, sounds great, right? WRONG!
After I submitted my refund request to their claims department, who by the way are impossible also, they tell me that because my dishwasher was not on my plan that they will make a one time exception for less than $200 and I paid and had it all installed for around $550!!!! All in all this is still an on going issue and we are now mid February 2025 and they have offered nothing for my inconvenience of this all and I have spoken with, Angelina, Rebecca, Keyla, Labresha, Moises or Moisha, Eric, Tony, Anne Marie, Lauren, Amanda, Rhonda and Bobbi, and that’s not everyone!!! Can you believe it!? I will say, Lauren was the closest person to helping me until she couldn’t anymore for whatever reason when she told the appliance team or refund team that I did in fact have coverage, then they now are trying to dispute it because they don’t have a call log recorded that I ever called in to ask to get my dishwasher repaired/replaced!
What does a call recorded have anything to do with the fact that y'all lost my accounts, screwed them up in the great “migration” then told me I didn’t have coverage, then told me that I actually did have coverage, now because your company can’t find a call log, that I can’t get a full refund of the approximate $550 back!!!
Like I said, this has been the WORST company I have ever had to work through and will absolutely not be referring anymore of our clients to go through them!!! It’s currently February 10 2025 and I left a message at a corporate number that a rep gave me last week and I’ve still not heard from them!!! Absolutely unprofessional and egregious! If I can use this review to start a lawsuit I will, it wouldn’t be their first class action from what I can see!!

I won't recommend this company.

DO NOT BELIEVE HOMESERVE'S SUBVERSIVE PRICING: They don't tell you upfront that your cost will likely double after the first year. Especially don't subscribe through your energy supplier.

I had Homeserve for over 10 years. I never needed an emergency repair until this past weekend, the heating unit would not turn on. The house was 40 degrees. I have an elderly parent in the home and an asthmatic child. When I called early Sunday morning I was told that they had no appointments for the day and to call back at 11a to see if any cancellations. When I explained the urgency it fell on deaf rude ears. She then tells me if I call anyone else to come fix the unit I will not be reimbursed! Fully knowing the urgency this company did nothing. When I called back at 11am I received the same person on the line who told me no available appointments again at this time and someone will come the next day.
The house was now 30 degrees and this company did not care. She mentioned AGAIN I will not be reimbursed if I call another company to come fix the unit. Homeserve expected us to freeze to death??? I ultimately had to call a local company who came to the home immediately. I immediately cancelled my contract with Homeserve. The most uncaring unprofessional I’ve ever dealt with. They knew how to deduct my money every month from my checking account for 10 years but they can’t find one person to come see why the heat isn’t working. Completely disgusted by them. Highly DO NOT recommend.

I purchased Homeserve a year ago and of course when you need them, they will give you the runaround, I purchased the coverages for the boiler - water heater - plumbing - sewer - electric, etc... Unfortunately the boiler pipe burst and they refused to honor the repairs and started to ignore me. I called them at least 100 times and I had to stay without heat for 6 days waiting for them to send someone to repair the pipe and they never showed up.

Where to begin. I own a duplex and my uncle, who is an 87 year-old veteran has been without heat for 3 days. I have been in touch with this company for a day and a half and have had to call them 5 times to try and get someone out to look at and fix the furnace. I got transferred a total of 12 times and promised to get a call back on 5 of them. Never got a call back. One representative said that she contacted a local furnace guy and the earliest he could come out was 1 week and 2 days. I informed them that he would be dead by then. It ended up that I was able to get a local guy to come out that day and determine that it was a blower that was broken. Cost: $1000. Hard to come by. I ended up getting my own furnace guy who will be replacing the furnace this weekend. My uncle will be living with me in the meantime.
This level of service is unacceptable. A senior veteran could be dead if I didn't take him in. The cost for the new furnace will be over $3000 but I just cannot wait until a week from tomorrow just to get an estimate. The people who take the service calls just are not recording the calls as each representative has to have the entire problem explained once again even though it should be a part of the notes attached to the issue. Be very careful of this company as they are very scatter brained.

Today was the first time I remembered to call HomeServe since I have been making payments for two years. There was a burning smell whenever the heat came on, so I turned off the heat completely. I plan to drop this plan after this experience. I was told that unless the heat wouldn't turn on at all or wasn't providing heat, they could not cover this. How strange - just because there is a burning smell when it is on doesn't count. So I would have to risk a fire to in order to get help, or maybe not even then.

I WILL NEVER SIGN UP HOMESERVE INSURANCE AGAIN!!! My water heater shut off two times in the past two weeks due to high temperature, although the setting was not at a very high temperature. The temperature control unit is not working correctly. I called HomeServe, and the technician came over on the same date around noon. He explained the water heater and indicated that it was installed in 1999 and has been over 25 years old. He determined that the water heater parts were no longer available. He gave me an estimated $1,950 to replace the water heater with the same 50-gallon size, excluding the repair/replacement of the drywall if they have to remove the drywall to replace the water heater.
I talked to the HomeServe customer service and was routed four times to different departments. The last customer service person told me she got her manager’s instructions to interpret the contract clause below: "If parts are unavailable or obsolete or We deem Your System beyond repair, We will provide a pro-rata refund, less any claims paid by Us." I told her the contract agreement did not mention that the pro-rata refund was restricted only to that contract year. I have had insurance coverage for six years and paid hundreds of dollars. She agreed with me, but the best she could do was to refund me $10.99 for the January 2025 payment I made, although, according to her, I paid $488 during my subscription. If this is not a scam company, I don't know what it is.

If I could give this rating a NEGATIVE star, I would.

This was after not getting responses to my emails, calling and being placed on hold repeatedly, then tossed over to "Corey" who put me on hold again a couple of times, and was rude.

This company is a total scam. I had a claim and they looked for every reason in the book to refuse to cover it.

A regional manager called from an unidentified number. I didn’t answer because it up as spam. The first two times they called they left no message. The third time they called they finally left a message saying this is the third and final call and your case is closed. Their bogus contract is full of loopholes and they know how to work it.

The Home Serve insurance is break even at best given premiums, deductibles, limits of liability, and assorted other fine print. Further, if you try to cancel a policy, you will get a two-month run around before you're made whole. Home Serve will only pay off if you have an incident within a few years of policy inception. Strongly not recommended, unless you have a problem you know you're going to need to address.

Original Review: We’ve had coverage with HomeServe for a number of years now, but their customer service is so useless that I plan to cancel our contract. Three months ago our credit card was billed 3 times within a week for an amount almost double our monthly rate. It took several lengthy phone calls to get this resolved and credited. I was promised that we wouldn’t be billed again for five months as compensation for all the hassle. Guess what? Two weeks ago two different charges for two different amounts showed up on our credit card. Over an hour on the phone with their “retention” department, who can’t do anything but send a request to the “billing” department. Has anything been corrected? NO! I will not waste any more time calling this incompetent company. We are done with Home Serve!

We lost our heat at about 2 AM Sunday morning dec 15, 2025. After trying to go back to sleep putting sweaters on, my wife and I both woke up at 6 AM very cold. I called HomeServe as I have a Furnace heating plan and explained to the representative that I needed a repair technician as my heat went out and that it was an emergency as my wife and I were in our seventies. She stated the earliest date a technician would be able to come was Tuesday at 1PM. I explained to her that this was an emergency as it was very cold and we were in our seventies and Tuesday was not very good. I demanded to speak to her supervisor and she advised me her supervisor was not available.
I booked the date so I would not lose it. My wife called a few hours later and was told they had a cancellation and the technician would be able to come on Monday between 12 PM and 4 PM. She booked the appointment and cancelled the Tuesday appointment. Still feeling very cold and not appreciating I could not get a technician until Monday at 12 PM. I called again. I explained we were given an appointment for Monday at 12 PM , but we were very cold and in our seventies and needed emergency service. She told me there were no earlier appointments and there was nothing she can do. I again demanded to speak to a supervisor and was advised the supervisor was not available.
We waited until Monday for the technician to come. When the technician came I explained what we went thru to get an appointment and he apologized for the big inconvenience caused by HomeServe. He was very courteous and realized we were very cold and he repaired the system as soon as possible. As for the technician I would give him 5 stars for his courteousness, understanding, knowledge and speediness of repairs. As for HomeServe and the representatives I would not give them any stars as it was a horrendous nightmare to get a service technician in a more timely matter as we were senior citizens in need of heat. I have been a customer of HomeServe heating plans for over 10 years and I have never ever experienced service like this before.

In October 2024 I called HomeServe to setup a repair to unclog a main sewer line that was causing plumbing issues in the downstairs apartment. I stressed the urgency of the problem as clogs in the main line can cause sewage backups into the apartment which can be a health hazard. Home Serve attempted to setup multiple plumbers to come out but none of them could come out the same day, so they told me to hire a plumber on my own who could come out the same day, and that they would reimburse me. I received the reimbursement form to fill out online, uploaded the plumbing receipt, and have been waiting on reimbursement. This was early October 2024, it is now late December 2024 and I have not received reimbursement.
I have called at least 3-4 times, and each time I receive a different story from the representatives. The latest as of 12/20/2024 when I called today was "It appears we received all your documentation on the workorder ending ** but then we cancelled the reimbursement request, and opened a duplicate order and it's been missing documentation.". I asked them to explain why they cancelled a complete reimbursement request that was not missing documentation, they didn't know. I asked them why they made a duplicate to begin with, they didn't know. I told them it seems a bit nefarious to have created a duplicate work order that was missing documents, and then cancelling the work order that HAD all the documents for reimbursement, as if there was an attempt by HomeServe to simply never pay me. Again, I have called multiple times over the last 2 months, including 12/12 and now 12/20.
On 12/12 I was told Reimbursement team would call me to square it away immediately. That never happened. On 12/20 I was told I can't speak to the reimbursement team, but they will call if they need anything. Explain the logic here -- they were missing documents on the duplicate claim THEY made, but never called? Representatives appear to not know what they're doing, and seemingly lie. Work Order is ** and they continue to refuse to reimburse.

This company is an absolute scam. I used their online service to purchase an interior and exterior water and drainage policy. It's been close to 3 months since I purchased them. Literally for 4 hours over 2 days, I have talked to 12 different people. One department tells me that I have a policy and they even provide me with the policy numbers, which I never received in the mail. Another department tells me that I don't have a policy and their system will not allow them to complete my inquiry for a service call. I have been told 2 different times that a manager would call me back within 24 hours. Absolutely no one has called me back. This company does not give a damn about their customers. Now I will need to call a third time. This time I'm going to demand my money back. Stay away from Homeserve Insurance!

I had some pipe repair done in June, 2024. But prior to that I called HomeServe and was told that they could not find a Technician to take care of the issue. To make a long story short I was told to find a technician and I would be reimbursed up to 2500.00. I called a Technician with their approval. I sent them a copy of the bill in September 4, 2024 and no one responded to me indicating whether I would get my payments or not. Very unprofessional. If you are denying a claim the proper thing to do is either reach out to the customer or send them a letter. Neither of that happened. I reached out in November and was told some bogus lies. So I resubmitted the bill and have not heard from them since. I thought this was a company of honor and integrity but they have neither.

I received an alarmist notice/invoice about insuring the water line from my house to the main line in the street. The street is a one lane privately owned gravel road with absolutely no water lines.

They told me if I would have let the entire ceiling fall in they would have repaired it. First red flag! They decided to not take payments for months and then decided one month to take money from my account 5 different times in one month all to tell me I'm not covered.

Useless!! Just called for an issue. Explaining to the Homeserve rep on the phone what my issue was. He told the plumber it was a sewage leak, which was incorrect. The plumber came out and said it wasn't covered and I would be charged $300. I called Homeserve again and explained to another rep what the issue was. She wrote up another work order and told me the repair would be covered and she would contact the plumber to tell them to just invoice them. Two hours later a Homeserve rep called me and told me the repair wasn't covered.
I talk to a manager and he could care less that his reps lied to me and wasted my time and day. No one at this company know their own policies and what's covered and what's not. Don't do business with this company! When you have an issue it's NOT covered! If you do business with them make sure you Google the reviews of the plumbers they send out to you. Most of them have horrible reviews. If they do contact Homeserve and request another Plumber with better reviews.

I had the worst experience with HomeServe. I purchased the premium packet with them for my home and had them for at least 2 years.. I started having little problems with my hvac system that still required me to come out my pocket during the service (for Freon). Other than that they didn't do anything major to my system. It was just going out. Anywho, homeserve was suppose to give me a prorated price towards my policy for a new system, and even though I was quoted one price I would be getting back in 3 months of me still paying them and not need service somehow.. I wasn't owed a refund any longer.
They said the few times they came to the homes basically amounted to exactly how much they owed me for my refund. Mind you they never did anything significant to my unit besides just add freon which again paid for.. They suck and the service is even worse. They push you on every department just to get you out their hair because they don't know the answer. Then they never save anything you originally called for in the past.

Updated on 11/07/2024: I posted a negative review about this awful company last week - complaining that the plumber they hired to make repairs to my neighbor’s water line resulted in damage to my landscaping. They got in touch with me and told me they would get back to me with a response. Their plumber also severed my cable line which caused a major inconvenience. They finally got back to me today and Homeserve refuses to take any responsibility for the landscaping damage and that I'd have to deal with their plumber who is not in the landscaping business. I’d give them a negative rating if I could. I also since cancelled my Homeserve policy as I'd never do business with them.
Original Review: My neighbor used a HomeServe plumber this week to repair her exterior water line. The plumber asked my permission to dig up my shrubs in order to access her water line. I asked if they'd replace the shrubs the next day. The plumber said yes. Well, they have not returned and they don't answer their phone. I cannot replant the shrubs since there a very large pile of rocks where my shrubs had been located. My driveway is also a mess. It's been two days and several calls to HomeServe with no response. My neighbor has also called complaining about a 4 foot empty trench (very dangerous) they left in her driveway. No response.
The plumber also cut thru my cable line. They told me that Comcast's utility flag wasn't properly marked. When Comcast visited yesterday, they told me they were NEVER called and the plumber used bogus flags! I now have to deal with Comcast to get a new cable run under my driveway which is a major production. In my opinion, HomeServe uses disreputable plumbers and they don't take any responsibility for screw-ups. They also don't follow-up or return phone calls. I also have a service contract with them but after this experience, I'll be cancelling it this week.

I’ve been paying for HomeSmart (now HomeServe) warranty coverage for my home appliances since moving into my house in 2019. The house was built in 2014, so I’ve been paying $8 per month per appliance for coverage through Xcel. Since the recent rebranding or acquisition by HomeServe, I’ve had one claim—or rather, an attempted claim.
For the first time, my Bosch refrigerator malfunctioned early in the morning, spewing ice all over my wood floors, which are now damaged and in need of replacement. I called HomeServe, and they sent someone out the next day. However, the technician admitted that he wasn’t familiar with Bosch appliances. He used pliers or a similar tool to take the freezer apart and, unbeknownst to me, broke some plastic pieces in the process. After inspecting the fridge, he told me the ice maker needed to be replaced, which would cost $500, and with labor, the total would be $1,200—requiring approval since it exceeded the allowed limit.
HomeServe then informed me that some parts included in the Bosch ice maker bundle weren’t covered, and because Bosch doesn’t sell individual components, they won’t pay for the full repair. They suggested that I replace the entire refrigerator instead, which seems extreme. This leads me to question what I’ve been paying for these past five years, as they seem unwilling to fully service my appliances. I believe I should be refunded for the total amount I’ve paid for this inadequate service. Additionally, they closed my claim without resolving the issue. At the very least, the technician should fix the damage he caused, especially since he admitted to not having experience with Bosch. Do not use them.

We recently had a new furnace installed by UGI/HomeServe. I've been with HomeServe for many years, and although pleased with my experiences, thought it was still a good idea to "shop around" when looking to replace our furnace. After researching their product and talking with sales representative Jon **, it became apparent that HomeServe was the answer. No matter how good a product may be and the Heil rating is top notch, the PEOPLE who represent the company is what makes or breaks a positive experience for the client.

NO phone call, NO message letting me know they would not be coming. As a potential customer, my time NOT as important as Homeserve.

Updated on 08/09/2024: UPDATE: My final straw was hearing from the construction company where I work that they have previously had to fix thousands of dollars worth of structural damage caused by the shoddy work of Down Home Plumbing. Homeserve was unwilling to pay for those damages and the poor customer had to sue for satisfaction. State Farm took 48 hours to approve a claim under my homeowner's insurance. They allowed me to hire a well-reviewed and trustworthy local plumbing company to replace my main sewer line. I implore everyone to check with their homeowner's insurance company for this type of coverage. When I requested Homeserve to least refund my premium for their failure as a company, I never heard back from management. Steer clear!
Original Review: 0 stars! Homeserve is a scam. We had our main sewer line back sewage up into our basement due to a tree root intrusion. The techs they sent out from Down Home Plumbing to repair the blockage ran an auger through the line and then told us they didn't hit any major resistance and the issue was resolved. They did not camera the line to source the blockage or to make sure they had cleared the blockage because Homeserve does not authorize them to do so. Not to mention the techs arrived 3.5 hours past their estimated appointment window and one of them spent the entire time on his cell phone while his (possible barely 18 year old) partner did the work.
Water began backing up in our main again immediately as the auger had done nothing but temporarily push the roots aside. So we called Homeserve again and told them this time that cameraing had to be approved so the issue could be fully resolved. The first company they requested to come out was unavailable so they sent the job back to Down Home Plumbing. Down Home Plumbing confirmed the appointment with Homeserve and I received a text and email confirmation they would be on site the next day. But when I called the next day to confirm the arrival window they could not find the appointment/repair information without calling Homeserve. And once they did find it, the tech and his manager called more than once attempting to reschedule it for 1-2 days later because they were busy and didn't feel sewage backing up into my basement was an emergency.
After several heated conversations and multiple calls from myself to Homeserve, a tech did show up. He called Homeserve again before doing anything to make sure the cameraing was authorized and then proceeded to camera the line. He found a massive tree root intrusion and informed us the line would need to be dug up and at least a portion of it replaced. He let us know he would contact Homeserve with this info and they would be in touch ASAP. Two days later we had heard nothing, so I called Homeserve to be told Down Home Plumbing had never sent them the information. They assured me they would follow up with Down Home Plumbing and send the repair request for approval.
Another 24 hours later, I got a call from Homeserve saying we needed to remove the tree that had caused the root intrusion. I informed them it would be down that day. They then asked if we would like to add a cleanout to the main line at the street at an out of pocket cost of $830. I told them no. They said that was fine and Down Home Plumbing would be in touch to schedule the repair. After I didn't hear from Down Home Plumbing for another 48 hours, I called them and was informed that they had told Homeserve the installation of the cleanout was mandatory by code and they could not schedule the work. Homeserve got it wrong! Had I not called Down Home Plumbing, no one would have called me. Mind you my sewer line has backed up for 2+ weeks at this point already!
When I called Homeserve they refused to take any responsibility for their miscommunication and doubled down that the cleanout installation would have to be done out of my pocket because it isn't covered under their policy. I informed them that their policy states they exclude "Any replacement, correction, upgrade, or move of Your existing System in order to meet any code, law, regulation, ordinance, or utility directive, if not directly related to the necessary Covered Repair." But when you're replacing my main sewer line, putting a cleanout on it IS "directly related to the necessary covered repair."
After half an hour of asking for a manager, a manager named Alisha tried to tell me the repair wouldn't work without the cleanout and then hung up on me. If that were even remotely true, that would also make it "directly related to the necessary covered repair." These people can't even read their own policy. Meanwhile, the work still isn't getting done! Avoid Homeserve like the plague. They are slow, stupid, and overpriced for the nothing they provide. And they use the worst (read cheapest) possible installers who could care less about customer service or quality workmanship.

I'm canceling all the plans I have with them for their service is HORRIFIC!!

I fully explained to them, repeatedly, that the issue was the faucet itself and needed to be replaced. Also stated that because of the high flow rate from the faucet I had to keep all the water to the house turned off at the street. Homeserve sent me notification that a local plumbing company would be out the next day between 9-1. That company never contacted me, and when I attempted to contact them received voice-mail. I left a detailed message, including multiple ways to respond, to no avail!
Homeserve called them, to find out the status at 3PM, when I called to find out what was going on. They said that the plumbing company had gotten caught up with another large job and would be to my house the next day, Sunday, between 0800 and 1. I AGAIN explained that it was the faucet that needed replacing before I could turn the water back on. I was told that was not an issue. The plumbing company finally showed at 2PM, with a bad attitude. When they commented that I looked angry, I started that I am frustrated that they neither arrived when promised, and put me off for an extra day. He asked, in a rude tone, "Do you know of anyone else who would come out on a weekend?" I started that there are plenty of plumbers in the area that would do so and he clarified "that work for Home Serve??" I just showed him where the faucet is located. His assistant took my shut off tool and went to turn the water on.
The main person was quickly able to determine that I was correct, and the faucet needed replacing, BUT Homeserve does NOT cover that. They turned off the water, returned my tool and left. (There was no way I was going to hire them to do the replacement!) I came back inside to the phone ringing with Homeserve calling me. The affirmed that despite my having been paying for the top level of both internal & external "protection" they did NOT cover the replacement of the faucet. When I asked why they didn't just tell me that in the first place, they stated that they had to verify that it was the faucet, and not the pipe leading to it, which they do cover.

NPS said they did not have anyone close enough to me to check it out. Another week went by and more calls to them and NPS called again with same answer. Homeserve then said they could do nothing but if I wanted to get my own repair person to fix it, and it was a lightning strike then they would pay.

Called and had same day service, come and router out my line. This was done every 3/4 months. Service was same day every time. Everyone I spoke with from Home Serve was polite, kind and helpful, as were the servicemen they sent. Then a week ago, I had back up again. I called and explained to the customer service, they called me back that I would have service 4 days later. I replied and send I cannot wait 4 days, I cannot use any facilities in my home. This second person said they understood and would see what they could do.
I waited and hear nothing, so I called a 3rd time. This lady was fabulous. She got busy making calls and had someone scheduled for that afternoon. She had to call around to other areas them what I had before, but she had people scheduled to come within hours. They were on another job, but called me and gave me an estimated time of when they would arrive. They were running late and called and kept me informed. They arrived and went to work. They had a camera and screen and showed that it was not my sewer line it was within my home sewer.
Long story, but they were excellent and after several hours everything was fixed. I could not be happier. "The Trenchless guys" were professional and got the job done. I am hopeful that they will be used on any future jobs at my home. A+ The Trenchless Guys, C for the first service rep I spoke with, F for the 2nd and A+ for the 3rd!

By far one of the worst companies to deal with, instead of finding a way to cover the repair the do the complete opposite. Read the fine lines of the contract, especially HVAC SYSTEM. They send contractors to make sure that you pay for the repairs out of pocket, but collecting high monthly payments without paying for repairs, BE AWARE.

I had some interior electrical issues. Electrical outlets were not working on one side of my kitchen. Homeserve sent out a technician and he tested the outlets and said I was not getting any powered to any of them and would probably need to open up a wall and do some rewiring. I would be hearing back from them in a couple days. It has been 3 1/2 weeks and they still have not gotten back to me after I have made a number of phone calls to Homeserve and also Morrison Electric both promising me they would call me back by the end of the day. Morrison Electric said their head electrician needed to call me and schedule an appointment, but never got a call back. Up to this issue I have been happy with them, but I have now told a friend not to use them after I had recommended Homeserve.

December 2023 I had a gurgling noise coming from a drain. My husband called HomeServe (we have a plan through the company for this service). HomeServe sent out the company they use..Geisel Sewer and Plumbing. Long story short the company basically said HomeServe serve is a rip off, they will only cover 10 feet of new sewer installed. The man did not have one nice thing to say about HomeServe. Obviously we needed our entire sewer line replaced as it was cracked in so many places and it was close to backing up into the house. HomeServe never called to tell us they did not cover this, no follow up. Nothing.
I had to come out of pocket to have my sewer line repaired. My husband called HomeServe to cancel and the lady asked why. He explained, she then told him don't cancel we cover up to $5000 in repairs and she was curious why the company they sent out told us they didn't. She then told my husband that we were entitled to a reimbursement. We sent them everything they asked for. Here we are almost March and we are still paying for exterior sewer line coverage. And every time we speak to someone they tell us they will call us back. They never do.

He came back in and showed me a part that went to my furnace and showed me a new part side by side. He said he was going to try this and hoped that it would fix the furnace. Five to ten minutes later Mathew came up from the basement and said that the part did not work and I needed a new furnace that would cost $4750 because I had a "crack" in my heat exchanger. He showed me the "crack" in the heat exchanger and a new furnace exactly like mine that he had recently put in. I said ok and they sent me the contract.
My son said he knew someone because I was unsure of this company because something didn't feel right. Mr. ** came to my home a few days later. Mr. ** from The Basement Pros LLC came out and walked me through what he was doing and what he was looking at. First, Mr. ** asked why didn't Mathew red tag the furnace if it had a cracked heat exchanger.

And third, there were all type of wires and things disconnected that should have been connected that more than likely Mathew had taken apart.
Mr. ** came in and FIXED my furnace for $625.58 (2 parts and labor) and it would have be cheaper if Mathew had put the new part in because that was one of the parts that I needed. (Again HE DID NOT!)

I thought that HomeServe sending a plumber on the weekend day that my sewer backed up was great--until he arrived 8 hours later and had no equipment (had to borrow it). I was then permanently attached to this plumber per HomeServe and it took him 4 days to arrive with the 2nd occurrence. When it was determined that my entire sewer line needed to be replaced, he said there was not room in my yard for trenchless repair (in truth, he did not have the equipment); I repeatedly asked HomeServe for a 2nd opinion (I even offered to pay for it!) but was told that if I wanted to use my benefit, I would have to use the original contractor they had sent.
He dug trenches through the entire yard, extensively destroyed patio concrete and grass, and had raw sewage exposed in my yard for weeks--but 2 months later I still had no functioning sewer. My job was the first he had done for HomeServe (so they knew nothing about him, but liked the low bid he submitted, I think); he had to postpone starting for 1 week as he had lost his insurance and had to obtain more. After my calling HomeServe almost every day for 2 months, they finally brought in a capable company who completed a trenchless repair in a few days (this was the company I had originally wanted to provide a second opinion; to the credit of HomeServe, they covered the increased cost of this company as a goodwill gesture).
After completion, the city inspector said that original contractor would no longer be allowed to pull permits in my city due to his egregious errors and encouraged me to pursue a lawsuit to recoup some of my repair costs. Now I am left with destroyed concrete and landscaping and drainage problems throughout my yard that I am responsible to repair.
Also, be aware that HomeServe covers only $7000 toward a sewer repair and requires you to use the contractor they send (who may be totally inadequate for the job); a sewer repair easily costs 3-4 times that amount and you will pay the rest. They also cover only $1000 toward restoration of landscaping and concrete; my concrete repair alone has cost over $7000 (this would not be necessary had HomeServe allowed me to use the contractor I requested who was equipped to do a trenchless repair).
As an alternative to a home warranty, I suggest setting aside a significant emergency fund (which you will need even with the home warranty as it covers very little) and get several bids on a repair if needed; you might be without a functional sewer for several days--but a few days in a hotel will allow you to choose a capable contractor and you will ultimately save both money and time (and extreme frustration and worry). Even if you have to take out a loan. Trust me, I've been there.

The company has never indicated to me repairs that were not covered by the policy. My Heating unit would not start, I called and a repair man was there within 1 hour, he fixed the unit (a simple fix). A few hours later I received a call that the repair was not covered. A broken tube which would not allow the heater to start. The tube was repaired and reconnected!! Why would a fix that did not cost HomeServe anything in parts not be covered? So I have to ask if the part was 2 or 3 hundred dollars would they have covered it? This makes no sense.

I have never had a warranty program impress me as HomeServe did in our recent gas line leak. The customer service was helpful, but we ran into issues finding the right contractor to do the job. The first company they sent out said they couldn't fix it, and the Homeserve customer service reps tried unsuccessfully to locate one of their providers who would be able to fix it in a reasonable amount of time. Once we were at a standstill and my faith in HomeServe was tested, I found my own contractor -- figuring the warranty program was a joke. Once job was completed, I submitted my documents and photos of the job to HomeServe and to my surprise, they reimbursed me and stood by their warranty of the gas line. I have never been more impressed with a warranty company. Would highly recommend to anyone at this point.

I can't even begin to register both my irritation/disappointment with Homeserve - please read on: Back in June of 2022, we signed up for their appliance repair program, and the person I spoke with (and I made sure to clarify it twice), indicated to me that if the appliance cannot be repaired (i.e. if a unit is too old to repair due to the value of the unit vs. repair costs), it would be replaced with another unit of equal or lesser value. Being senior citizens, this made us feel good because it definitely sounded a worthwhile investment and we signed up.
Recently, we had to call in a service request for our Samsung Dryer because of a motor grinding noise and it not heating anymore. I paid the $25 service fee, but when I spoke with the customer service rep handling the call, I clarified again (based on what I was told previously) that if it could not be repaired, how would they replace it? She stated that there was no replacement and that this policy does not cover replacement costs. I was devastated - fit to be tied (based on what I was promised in the very beginning).
I've since requested both a refund of the $25 service fee (which I canceled) and also the amount I paid for the entire time since I first signed up for that program. Now whether they'll do that remains to be seen. This is the 2nd time I was short changed by Home Serve. Several years ago we had an Air Conditioning issue (and we had an AC repair policy with Home Serve). When the service tech arrived, he diagnosed that the coils in the attic needed replacement (estimated cost of around $2500). Home Service disapproved the request and we ended up having to purchase an entirely new AC/Heating system instead of getting it repaired. We were fit to be tied, and we immediately canceled that particular Home Service policy.
So please be aware that with regard to both appliance repair and AC repair policies, stay away from Home Serve, especially if you have older units (even if in great condition). Even when talking to customer service, I was passed off back and forth between agents before I finally talked to somebody who seemed to care and/or knew who could handle this issue.

Had my sewer line back up last Sunday to where it was coming up in my basement sinks and bathtub. Didn't have a choice but to call a local plumber outside of normal business hours to come clean out my lines before the problem persisted and so my family could use the water for daily needs. Called Homeserve the day after, they set up an appt for me for today to have one of their preferred plumbers come out to check the pipes. I already told the person on contacted me to set up the appt.
I had a bellied pipe. Emailed it over to them as well as the plumber who showed up to my house. Got a call shortly after the appt from an agent at Homeserve letting me know my fix is not covered because the water is running freely through the pipes now after having a short term fix done 3 days previous so I didn't have a bigger disaster waiting for the next plumber appt. So now I have to wait for my sewer line to back up again, call homeserve to set up another appt, wait to send another plumber out there so they can see the mess themselves? Complete garbage! Proof was already sent to the plumber that I have a bellied pipe.
The fact that this company wants homeowners to sit on a sewer problem for days without running any water in the house just so their preferred technician can report the problem is absurd. I am sure once it happens again, they will find another excuse not to fix the problem and will be right back to square one. Sewer line belly or sags require immediate attention. Well you had the proof but could care less about fixing it. Easier to find ways not to cover the fix than actually fixing the problem that is covered until the plan I pay for on a monthly basis.

Some years ago I purchased a sewer line insurance policy. Recently, my sewer line was clogged and backed up into the house. I hired a plumber to attempt to open the line with a snake and after a great deal of effort, he was successful. I contacted homeserve about the incident as I had a policy to cover this specific type of claim. Homeserve sent out a contractor who sent a camera down the line and videoed the roots that remained after the initial snaking that contributed to the clogging. Their contractor provided them a quote to remedy the issues with the line (a clay tile line) caused by the roots. They asked him for a second video which he provided. Apparently, they did not like his videos or quote to repair so they hired a second contractor to video the line.
Based on the second video they completely denied my claim saying that as long as liquids can pass through the line they considered it open and functioning even thought roots invading the line were clearly visible in all videos. I attempted to reason with them an obvious point that liquids are not the only substance to travel from the house to the sewer and that any solids would quickly clog the drain. They were insistent in their denial of the claim. I'm going to pay $15,000 to have this line repaired. The fact that they have collected my premiums for years to insure precisely against this type of loss then denied the claim is a deceptive and predatory business practice and, to me, the height of dishonest corporate greed.

Came and fix about 2-3 weeks ago. Broke down again. Won't come and fix again. Took 4-5 days to settle for a price, only their price. I didn't have a word to say about price, tried to but they would not listen. Going to cost me double what they gave me between new microwave and installation. I have 6-8 plans with Home Serve and truly disappointed in their claims department. I recommend Home Serve to everyone I know who needs a plan, never again and will tell all to cancel, not what you advertise. Try thinking of cancelling all and going to a company that truly cares and does the right thing.

HomeServe might be good to a homeowner but from a business standpoint, they are not a great company to assist. If you are a plumbing, HVAC business or anything like it, I would not recommend doing business. They don't respond to emails or calls and then they refuse to pay anything due for services throwing every excuse in the book your way. They claim there is a 90 day policy when it comes to payments and then refuse to answer anyone reaching out for payment. They are dishonest with customers as far as sending a tech out for appointments. They tell their customers that companies have accepted service appointments before we even respond to anything as far as availability goes. Which causes customers to call in, confused as to why no one called them or showed up.

Your staff is very courteous but your problem with contractors is NOT my concern. You should alleviate it at your level not mine and you should advise your customers of any contractor change ASAP and not let the customer check on contractor and not be involved in your or their obligations.

Homeserve's service has been good, and it gives me peace of mind that if something breaks, they come and fix it. They do the right thing when they come, and the repair people are cooperative and keep me abreast. Every year, they come to inspect the heat in the winter. Last week, the sewer was backed up and the guy unclogged it. He was friendly and good.

I was pleased with Around the Clock. They did a decent job. But the other company I had before them, I complained and filed a complaint, but it fell on deaf ears with HomeServe and Prime Plumbing. When I called for this recent plumbing, I specifically said to them, "I do not want Prime. Can you tell me if y'all are sending Prime out?" The rep said, "We can't tell you who we're sending, but I can tell you it's not Prime Plumbing." I should know who's coming to my house. I'm paying for the service.

When we have a claim, we call up the insurance and tell them that we have a problem and what area it is. They look up our insurance to be sure we have it and then they tell us that they will call someone to get in contact with us as soon as possible. We had a problem in the front yard a couple of weeks ago with our water service line leaking and within an hour, a plumber called and said they were on their way. It's usually pretty prompt, especially if it's something serious. The contractor comes and looks at the issue, and then they call up the HomeServe and tell them what they found and how much it is and what they would need to do. All of that is going on with them rather than us. Then they come and tell us that we've been approved to get this done.
Sometimes, if it’s gonna be more, then they obviously have to talk to us about that it’s not gonna be fully covered. So there's a little of that going back and forth, mostly with the person that came to do the job and with the insurance. And then they do it. Then they give us an invoice saying what happened, what they did and it's done. It's pretty simple. In the beginning, I was a little nervous about how HomeServe does the claim because I was used to doing all that myself. But they have it worked out pretty well with the companies that they use. Everyone's been very good. The claims have gone through smoothly and we feel very comfortable with it now.

It's been a good experience with HomeServe. I just call the toll-free number and tell them what the problem is and they either tell me it's covered or not. If it's covered, they arrange for a plumber to come out and make the repair. They give me the name of the contractor that'll be contacting me. The techs have been very good. We've had some very difficult issues that they had to resolve and they took care of them. The most recent repair was a stoppage in my kitchen sink. They worked until it was freed or unclogged.

My HomeServe experience has been terrible. They put the paperwork on my claim down for a refrigerator, and it's supposed to be for my washer. The tech came out yesterday and come to find out the paperwork that he had in his hand said for refrigerator. So, he had to go back and order the part possibly tomorrow. Furthermore, my dishwasher has been out and they told us it wasn't covered. They told me this twice. My wife called today and got it confirmed that it is covered. So all this time, we've been without our dishwasher, but being charged for that part of the appliance coverage, but they weren't covering it.
They should honor their program. Here we are handwashing dishes, and it's very inconvenient going to a public place to wash your clothes. I don't like it. Also, the place that they set us up with for the repair, A&G, was closed the weekend and they didn't even tell us. So, I kept dialing, and come to find out that they don't even open on the weekend. Right now, as a grade A through F, I'd give them an F.

We have a sewer line coverage agreement with HomeServe paid through our electric bill. On Sunday morning we woke up to sewage overflowing in our home. We immediately called HomeServe. Someone came out on Monday afternoon and couldn't find the clog. On Wednesday afternoon another company came out, put a camera down the external sewage line and found a broken pipe 4 feet in front of our home. They reported the problem to HomeServe and HomeServe told us in 24 hours we'd have approval to begin work. Once we received HomeServe's approval, we'd have to additionally get a permit from VDot.
Time is of the essence. 24 hours passed and HomeServe had still not approved the work. Another 24 hours passed and HomeServe still had not approved the work. ---- Meantime there are 5 of us in the home. The kids are all home for summer and my husband and I both work at home. We cannot flush any toliets, let alone take showers, do dishes or laundry. That is A LOT of POOP not to be able to flush and our house smells like a sewer. So far, 6 DAYS without plumbing and it is a MAJOR INCONVENIENCE to say the least.
Just called HomeServe (again) and was told (FINALLY) that the work had been approved, but it's after 5 pm on Friday so the contractor is closed, and the earliest they can contact us is Monday. It will have been NINE DAYS WITHOUT PLUMBING on Monday and we haven't been able to contact VDOT yet because they were already closed when we called to find out that the work had been approved. We asked about a hotel, but HomeServe said our plan did not cover hotel expenses.
Meanwhile we've had to eat out and find other places to shower and extra expenses for laundry outside the home. ---- In conclusion, called Sunday morning early, now is our SIXTH DAY WITHOUT PLUMBING and the earliest this job could possibly be done is (fingers crossed) Tuesday -- our TENTH DAY WITHOUT PLUMBING. Very disappointed with service from HomeServe.

The plumber arrived to address the problem and states the leak appears to be coming from the faucet and needs to be replaced. He observed this w/ cell phone light. He left. I turned off water to lines and hot water dripping out of valve. A call placed back to HomeServe and asked for him to come back as he never shut the water off. Customer service took complaint info and had to call us back. She said upper management agreed with plumber's findings and they were not sending a second opinion plumber or anyone back to the home.
Meanwhile my almost 80 yr old mother is having to deal with this problem. I want everyone to know how disappointed we are with HomeServe and this contractor (Hers and His) for obviously not telling HomeServe that he never bothered to shut off the water…I will never recommend the plumbing service or HomeServe and I will continue to spread this information to anyone that has dealings with both companies.

The person answering the phone was great. The KJett plumber was great; however, there needs to be a quicker response for weekend issues instead of having to wait until Monday for someone to be dispatched.

The repair people came to check my air conditioning unit because that's where I thought the water was coming from. It turned out that it was coming from the sink line in the house. I got the insurance with HomeServe with the plumbing, so they sent the plumbers. From my deduction, we figured out what it was and they fixed it. They told me that I had to pay 1,800 to change the line where it was bad, but it wound up that the whole thing wasn't bad, so they only charged me 1,000. However, I used up all of what I'm allotted for the year. I had the regular plumber come first to try to snake the sink, then they came with the camera to do the job. All in all, they came when they said they were coming and it was good. It could have been a little better if I didn't have to pay the 1,000, but out of pocket, I saved money, so it was worth it.

Our most recent repair was for my air conditioner which was low on Freon. The company sent out had to be the most informative company I've ever encountered, so I learned a whole lot in what I need to do going forward.
HomeServe still has that human touch, the understanding. At one point, I had to call because I had my elderly mother-in-law staying with us and the air conditioner went out again.
