    I first signed up for HomeServe services many years ago, and will continue to do so for more years to come. I have never been disappointed with their response time for service. And, everyone that I've ever dealt with from the company were always courteous and professional. I highly recommend HomeServe!

    Immediately responded to call. Person was professional and reassuring that he would be able to address the problem and kept us abreast of the issue and what would be required to resolve the leak. After he finished he explained what he did and should be done if there were any concerns, including the warranty. Left with a smile and wished us the best. There has not been any issues or concerns. Oh, and he cleaned up his “mess” from the repair! Couldn’t ask for more‼️

    My AC was not working when I woke up on Saturday (July 15). I called HomeServe and an electrician was sent on Sunday (July 16). He was able to get the Pushmatic inserted again. (I had tried before I called but did not have enough strength.). The AC still would not work so I called HomeServe again on Sunday to have a technician sent. Bob from Hillard Plumbing & Heating responded and came out on Monday (July 17) - once in the morning (worked on scorched parts in furnace area on second floor in bathroom) and again in the afternoon with parts he needed but did not have in the morning.

    The AC still would not work so he came back with a ladder on Tuesday (July 18) to access AC unit located on roof. He was unable to get onto the roof because he only had a 20 foot ladder. Bob told me maybe he would be able to come back late Wednesday (July 19) if his helper was available and he had a 24 foot ladder. There was a bit of back and forth with Bob over the use of “maybe” and “if” to reschedule. He told me he thought I was unreasonable and should contact HomeServe to have them send a different technician, which I did when he left.

    The next thing that happened was I received a message from HomeServe that Bob would call me at 2pm on Wednesday to let me know what time he would arrive with his helper and a ladder. He finally called at 3:30pm to let me know he would not be coming. I called HomeServe once again and they were able to schedule Bruce from ONKOR LLC to come on Thursday (July 20). Bruce arrived at 10pm with the proper equipment and a helper and had my AC working before noon today.

    Returned from out of town to a backed up sewer and waste in the basement, every time we flushed or ran water it went onto the basement floor. The problem was discovered on Monday 7/3/23, I called and you all didn’t find it necessary to send a plumber out until 7/6/23 despite my family not being able to use the plumbing in the house and the smell. I called and made a fuss and the best you all could do was send someone on 7/5/2023. Plumbing companies have 24 hour service including holidays. Obviously Homeserve didn’t want to pay the extra expense to send someone at night or the holiday despite the nature of the problem which I considered an emergency.

    HomeServe has been treating me well. Every time I need some service done with them, the service always gets completed excellently. The AC unit needed to be charged up and after it got charged, the fan was constantly running. The techs made sure everything got done correctly. They took about three tries to get everything right. But I can understand, because he was dealing with the AC fans, and those are complicated. HomeServe is the best. I wouldn't trade them for anybody. I always recommend HomeServe to everybody. They ask me about who I have and I tell them I got HomeServe. My daughter was telling me to look at other places. She got another company and every time they come out, she has to pay. I said she better get HomeServe, because I never have to pay with them and I love it. I told her to sign up with them and she told me to give her the number.

    So a bad experience made better with good customer service. Contacted HomeServe with a plumbing issue. A plumbing company was scheduled to come look/fix. The Plumbing company was terrible. Not professional. Not helpful. Was glad that they only spent 15 minutes. They left without telling me they were going. I hired my own plumber, paid for out of pocket. After leaving a bad review, HomeServe reached out to ask what went wrong. Short story is they took my invoice from the second plumbers and reimbursed all of it. Got the check Fed Ex the same week I submitted the invoice. I was ready to find a new home warranty company. Good customer service has changed my mind. Well done HomeServe.

    My original plumber tried to flush the hot water heater. He said he could not do it because as he turned the valve screw, water spurted out of the valve. I called HomeServe. Their plumber returned my call immediately and was on site 1 1/2 hours later. His action was to quickly open the valve screw all the way quickly. Voila, the water came out the spigot as it should. He applied a small pump to speed up the process of draining the tank. I asked him to replace the faulty valve which he did with a quick trip to Home Depot for a new valve and within an hour I had a new valve and the tank was refilling. All around a great experience with HomeServe.

    Our meter is 100 yards from my house, and it goes all the way down to the end of the neighborhood. The PVC pipe kept breaking on our neighbor's and twice on ours. We didn't have HomeServe at that time. We had to get with the Water Works Board and negotiate something for the water bills. Recently, HomeServe took care of that for us and our neighbors. Their contractor came and replaced some of the pipes outside that had busted. The rooter had initially unstopped it then they came back and put the camera down. They verified where the stoppage was. I was a little bit confused because when I called, someone called and was talking about something else. But we got that taken care of.

    I'm having a problem with the plumbing businesses that HomeServe sent out because they're not doing a good job. When they came out, they told me that they cleared out a pipe that I had a clog in. But what they did is jerry-rigged the pipe. It came right out of the ground and they made a hole in my other pipe on the bottom. Now, I'm having all kinds of issues. I'm getting dirt up through my commodes and everything and all the waste is going into the dirt. All they do is come and unclog it, but they're leaving me with a bigger issue. They hammered things and then they told me who put all the stuff in. It was there a company that did it.

    I was told that if an inspector comes out, I'm going to get dinged on all that because it's not out in the street, and that they already had a flush-out in the street three months ago in my area and it wasn't even out in the street. It's over here on my part. I'm supposed to be covered for interior and exterior pipes. So, I'm having a problem with that right now with HomeServe.

    There were some things I talked to HomeServe's rep that by that time it was approaching 6 o'clock on a Friday. And I had a couple of things on my bucket list. I said, "Can y'all do this?" He said, "Yes. And it'd be under your contract.” I said, "Let us get settled from the other things we're going through. The in and out of towns and schedules, and we'll get back with y'all." But I would like to have him do the work. HomeServe's rates are very modest. But even if they were more, I would keep my service where it is. Because inside electrical things always go out. And that's not something I'm trained to do.

    I had two inside electrical switches not work every time you flip them up. And the gentleman replaced those and was excellent. For the dishwasher, HomeServe gave me the runaround. But the gentleman was excellent. He was as cordial as he could be. If we have anything else, I would request him. I was very satisfied. This happened on a Thursday. And he was able to get out later that afternoon. I got a text. HomeServe said he would text me. They thought he could get out late that afternoon or first thing in the morning. But he texted me 45 minutes prior to getting to the house, which a lot of them don't do. And he was on time. He was one of those guys that did it by the book.

Unfortunately, this does not sit well with me, as It is documentation of work/services completed for my home! Because I am a paying client of HomeServe for my home warranty needs I should have access to such documents for record keeping for any claims reported and/or services provided. Despite whether or not the services were completed by an outsourced business, HomeServe has the responsibility of sharing any documentation regarding my account, services rendered, and information of any kind for my property from the onset of my account.

    I do not believe that this is professional business practice, and leaves me questioning "why" this seems logical to you? I asked this question to Alex, he stated that there was simply no way to send or share the documentation of work completed by the party referred out to complete the job! I truly find this hard to believe in this age of technology where fax, email, etc. are used to communicate business-to-consumer regularly. There simply just isn't an excuse! You can generate a text, email, and phone call to send/communicate reminders and appointment verifications, but you choose not to share detailed record of services provided...not okay!

    When we first contracted with HomeServe they were a valuable asset to our portfolio, very responsive, professional results and affordable. I've been with them long enough to have noticed the change, and not for the better. I shared my needs and concerns, no response. I was offered better plans that would support my needs, when I called to cancel a few contracts, with 10+ years. As for the service pros, after HomeServe business methods changed I noticed the service techs wanted to replace things that were fixable.

    The last straw came when a service tech came to look at my water heater, they refuse to fix it, suggest a new one, around $1500 or more, and to drain this one they had to take it outside. HomeServe didn't cover any of that. The "take it outside" is what got me. I don't have professional training, but I have more than common sense. I called a plumber, the same day, not through HomeServe, I had my tank drained, a few parts replaced a few hours later my tank was and still is running great. All done in place.

So now I cancelled my water heater warranty and I suggest if you have 2 water heaters you cancel yours too. Don't trust Homeserve. I know I don't. Please read the fine print or just don't use Homeserve. They got me. I don't want them to get you.

    I called HomeServe on Thursday because of water standing in my yard. On Friday just after noon, a plumber and his assistant arrived. In little more than an hour, they had identified and repaired the problem. Both were friendly and very professional.

My sewer line backed up last Friday and the company they called came Friday. They came back on Saturday and again on Sunday and took care of the issue. It was caused by feminine products that were being flushed down by my tenants upstairs. Today, I got a voicemail message and they said they were at my house and they stuck a camera in the pothole where the manhole is. They said the sewer main lateral was broken and that someone had to be on the ground by Tuesday. If not, they're gonna send somebody and bill me for it.

    I called HomeServe back and they contacted Ace Mechanical. They're gonna call me back and I'm gonna have Veolia, the water company, out as well so everyone's on the same page and we could find out what my out-of-pocket expense is. Other than that, I have no complaints. Ace Mechanical worked hard. HomeServe did what they said they were gonna do. I got them on automatic renewal.

The reps will ask me some questions like the location. Then, they’ll tell me that they'll put the claim in and someone will get back to me. They usually get back to me the same day and almost every time that I've had to use them, I've had somebody out the same day. The contractors are fine and know what they're doing.

    HomeServe is inexpensive for the quality of coverage that I get and they're quick to respond to any issues. I haven't had any issues with them saying they don't cover a claim or they need to do this or that. I also have their hot water heater program and I've had to have the water heater replaced, and they didn't give me any issues or any pushback on it. So, it makes it easy.

I almost kicked myself because I almost called the regular plumber and I forgot that I have HomeServe. But they always come through.

    I have a long standing insurance policy with Service Line Warranty of America, covering both sewer and water issues. When trying to call to actually *use* this policy, I’m instead told it’s being serviced by “HomeServe”, something I’ve never heard from. Much worse, despite TWO plumbers confirming an issue with my line, including one referred to me by the insurance provider, I’m told that I cannot actually use this policy as - hey, stupid me- I had it cleared to remove the raw sewage seeping up into my home because nobody from the insurance company would answer the phone or help me.

    Now that the line is somewhat cleared but in need of actual repair, I have to wait until it backs up again, call a company that apparently doesn’t exist, and only then can I *maybe* receive service and have the policy honored. This is beyond absurd. I have insurance for a very specific use case, have had it for almost 10 years, and now when I attempt to use that insurance I’m sent into a Schrodinger’s Plumbing situation of a pipe that is both dangerously close to failing and yet not failing enough to warrant fixing under the policy.

    This story starts on 6 Jun at 9:18 am with the initial report that my freezer was no longer freezing. I still hadn't heard anything from anyone and called back at 3:26 pm - went from "Charlie" to Angela to Roslyn to unknown male to disconnected. Re-Called to "Charlie" to Teresa who said the request for warranty service was still in the pipeline, but she called it up and got the request referred to a service provider. Very impressed when Teresa called me back saying the first service provider rejected the request and it was being sent to another provider with 24-48 call back. Service provider called & service was set for the next day.

    7 Jun - problem assessed - yep it's broke. It will take 2-3 days to get an answer on whether or not repair authorized. 8 Jun - Called 9:40 am - service provider verified report sent to Home Serve. Called 10:13 am Home Serve Jessica started the report was not yet on the system. She verified it was in the CRITICAL category but could take 24-48 hours before it was available in the system. 9 Jun - 8:12 am called Home Serve - Charlie" to Colby transfer to Appliance Repair Team (ART) - Robert not the right person to Cassandra not the right person who sent an email because she couldn't get through to the ART and they would call within two hours. 10:23 am Jessica called to let me know the determination that the fridge was no longer economical to repair and she was submitting a buy out proposal. She would let me know something by Tues at the latest.

    The 9th is a Friday, Tues is the 13th. I am right now looking at seven full days without a working refrigerator that it supposedly a CRITICAL incident with Home Serve. 12 - 16 Jun NO contact from Home Serve. 16 Jun, 9:22 am, I called and was ultimately connected to Cornishia who couldn't help me because of privacy info contained in the buy out proposal. Jessica was unavailable / not in yet. Cornishia said she sent Jessica an email and Jessica would be in touch on Jessica's next business day. 17 Jun - received an email from Home Serve requesting "details & documentation necessary to review your reimbursement request" along with photo documentation. The claim wanted to know who repaired, how repaired, & why I repaired without authorization. NO repair was performed as it wasn't authorized. What I have done is purchase a new refrigerator of the same type as what broke. I submitted the purchase document, and claimed the cost of the new fridge and associated installation & removal costs.

    This is supposedly a CRITICAL incident for Home Serve. I am now 11 days without a fridge. Thank goodness for friends who can keep my meds cold in their fridge. Due to supply chain issues, the earliest date available for delivery & install is Thurs, 22 Jun. What do I feel Home Serve should have done -

    1. Not transfer me multiple times - if the call screener can't get a caller to the right person the first time maybe the directory is too complicated. This wasn't a one-time occurrence as documented above.
    2. Reasonable updates - Teresa was able to call me back within one hour with an update. The 2nd service provider called me back within 30 min to schedule the next day service. All other updates occurred because I called and persevered through your system.
    3. You, Home Serve, should be proactive in calling with CRITICAL updates - not make me call and pester you to feel like something is going to be done.

    4. Honor your promised call window.

    If this was my first stumble with Home Serve I probably wouldn't be this upset. This is the 2nd CRITICAL event where I feel like the CRITICAL terminology is used to make the caller feel like Home Serve is pushing for a fast resolution. Where in fact, Home Serve just pushes things along in an established slow, grinding system - there is no critical mass moving things quickly forward. I wish Dominion Energy hadn't sold out to Home Serve. With Dominion Energy I had a repair determination the same day as the assessment, in fact during the assessment, so the parts could be ordered. Repaired within two days.

It works out for me. I have every plan that they have just in case. I pay $175 a month for all the plans that I have and even the home equipment plan is no longer valid, I was grandfathered into it. I'm grateful for that. Recently, something was wrong with my washing machine and they came and fixed it. I really liked the tech. When he came the first time, he assessed the situation and told me that one of my pipes was clogged and he placed the order. The only thing I didn't like was I was told that they would follow up with me but I had to call HomeServe to find out whether or not the pipe was ordered. The pipe came in and they gave me the number to call Bing back so that they could schedule to have somebody.

    My Ring doorbell wasn't connecting. It wasn't getting power from the box downstairs. Came to find out that my box blew. We had to replace the box. Rainbow Electric came out. This was not the first time that Rainbow's come to my house to do repairs. The guy was very specific and attentive to the situation. What I always liked about any of the vendors was that if I asked questions, they didn't mind answering. I shadow them all the time because this is my house and I like to know what's going on. Everybody always says to me, "You're doing the right thing." I like that they say that. They also don't mind me following them. Plus, they're entering into my home, so I wanna make sure that what they're saying they're gonna do is actually what they're doing.

    I like the vendors that they send. Whoever vendor they send, everybody always explains to me what they're doing. They take their time and they explain to me. They tell me what I need to do with my boiler. Only one time, I had one vendor that I didn't particularly care for.

The contractor usually asked what was the problem to find out, and they would schedule the appointment that they could come out on. I've had HomeServe for my heating system which didn't work right. This other company came out because the company I had before were plumbers. He said, "I know what part's wrong with this, but I don't know if you're covered." And he came up and said, "You are covered," That part was very expensive. I have the zoned heating and I know if one of the zone valves go, that's not covered. But I could call HomeServe and they would get somebody there for me.

    I had a guy here a week ago because I had the wax ring in the toilet and my toilet was leaking. I thought the wax ring was covered on the toilet because that was replaced five years ago when I had the contract and it was covered. I said to her, "I don't know if you dropped covering that or not." But they didn't. Putting in new guts in my toilet was not covered, but HomeServe was good for putting on wax rings because you got to take the whole toilet off.

    The week before that, I had the pipe that is outside the house for the spigot that you would put a hose on. I called HomeServe for that and it wasn't covered, but I had a plumber here. I said, "Do it." I asked for the same company when I called back the second time because I liked it very much and I also asked if I could have the same person back. They were available. And it was the second time that company got the plumber here the same day that I called. That company was very good. If HomeServe wouldn't cover it, I would use them as my plumber. You got a plumbing contract, they don't cover spigots. So, I have to have another plumber. I could get help and use the help because it's not easy. Most plumbers do not want to do repair work. They want new work. I have another plumber, but I don't know when he could fit me in. He is so busy because he does repair work. Also, plumbers' rates are terrible.

    The plumber sent by HomeServe was excellent. He knew about old homes and was very aware that snaking my 100 year-old pipes could cause a break and a disaster into my kitchen below. I was impressed with the new plumbing company that they used as opposed to the former company that has serviced my home many times. It was no upsell or pressure to buy their products. Also no telling me that it wasn’t covered and presenting me with a huge estimate while using up one of my service calls. Josh do you just want to do.

    My hot water heater went out on a Wednesday evening and I immediately contacted HomeServe. I was told someone would be calling me more than likely within the hour. Thursday morning 0930am no one had called. I called HomeServe again. I was told they were working on contacting someone in my area who could help me. I called them back with a list of local plumbers and phone numbers. Mind you I am a disabled veteran and my wife is disable too. Thursday night comes no one calls, so I have to take my wife and granddaughter to a hotel so we could shower because my granddaughter has school the next day. We have guardianship of our granddaughter who is 15. The motel was $101.00. F

    riday morning comes and still no call. I call Home Serve at 1000am. They tell me they are working to, get someone and they will call as soon as they do. A lady named Kathy calls me and tells me she has someone on the way to replace my hot water heater, but because they are coming from Danville, Va. I have to give him $400.00. She also told me she would refund my motel if I had a receipt, which I did and she would try and get the plumber to reduce the cost so she could refund me a lot of my out of pocket money. She tells me to call here if I have any questions or concerns that she is the only Kathy with home serve. I give in even though I told her I could get a hot water heater myself at Lowes for $400.00. She replied no way that this guy pay a lot more for one at Home Depot for me.

    We hang up and the plumber arrives. He is very excited because I had already drained the old hot water heater and emptied the water lines. He did not have a hot water heater and we looked online at Lowes. He showed me one for $465.00 and said this is what he was getting. My old hot water heater was a 52 gallon, but he said I would be better off getting a 40 gallon for power reasons than a 52 gallon and I would save on my power bill. He also told me Home Serve could not get anyone here because they cap their hot water heater replacement at $850.00. So he and another guy goes and get the replacement. It takes them 15 minutes to install it. He ask for $400.00 and gets informed me “yeah you’re getting screwed, but Home Serve is allowing it”. He gets in his truck and leaves. As he is leaving his secretary calls and tell me to make sure I have all the air out of my lines before using the water.

    I felt totally screwed. Home Serve never told me when selling the insurance to me that they could not get anyone in my area to service my home, instead they told me that they do all the worrying so I don’t have to. You figure it up, the hot water heater cost $465.00, he worked 15 minutes and was gone. He made $785.00 for 15 minutes of actual labor. I have left numerous messages for Kathy and no one has returned my calls. I have canceled all my Home Serve insurance because I cannot handle another screwing like that being on a fixed income. Do not use these people or you will end up like me with a smaller hot water heater and a additional $400.00 out of my pocket.

    When I submit a claim with HomeServe, they respond either the same day or the next day. It depends what time I call. Sometimes I'll call in the morning and the techs come in the afternoon. And sometimes, if I call in the afternoon, they'll come the next day. The last two times, I submitted a claim over their app and I didn't have a problem. But I'm a people person and I like to interact with somebody. And with the app, they can't really tell the type of emergency, like when I had a situation where I had a baby, so I really needed them to try and get the plumber out ASAP because I had a baby in the house and I had a backup.

    Recently, I had an electrical issue. The plug wasn't working and when I went to the breaker, I would click it and it was coming, but it was tripping. So, I called them and the tech they sent out was great. He did the test and he took the GFI apart. It looked like the wire in the back of the GFI wasn't screwed properly. He had to do something and reconnect a wire. It looked like it got loose. Then he went back into the panel box and fixed something else. Other than that, HomeServe has gone up in pricing, but so did everything else. So far, I have no problem with them. But I would feel more comfortable with a package deal versus individual projects because I have them for six homes, and I use them for electrical and sewer backup.

    One of the pipes in my bathroom had a leak and it developed a pinhole in the bath doors. I heard hissing sound of water and water was all on the floor. So I called Homeserve and they scheduled appointment and sent somebody out. The rep was real nice and friendly. She had good customer service. She was very helpful. What I like most about Homeserve was I found one of the contracts and when I called the number on there for repairs, it was an easy process. They answered the phone and got somebody out right away. At first, the rep was telling me they were gonna have to set up an appointment and it'd be on the following week. But I told her, "This is emergency. I have water everywhere." Then she said, "Well, let me try to get somebody out there that day." So Homeserve was real helpful and quick on getting the issue resolved.

    I wasn't here for the repairs but one of my kids was. They shared their findings with my son and he sent me pictures of what the problem was. So far, so good. I just gotta fix the hole that they left in my wall. This was my first time using Homeserve and I didn't know what to expect. Even though I pay monthly for the service, I thought they were gonna charge me something for coming out, and that they were gonna charge me for the repair.

Generally, the times that I've had to use Home Serve, it's been the same company. So, I'm familiar with them. HomeServe is timely with the work that I've had done. The cost is relatively low and I get a renewal every year. They're easy to file a claim with and I have never had to pay for any service. Just in the last month, I had plumbing out here, my air conditioner had to be recalibrated and I had electric too.

    It's been a very positive experience with HomeServe. But, I applied for coverage thinking that one plan covered both my Lowboy water heaters. Early on, I was made aware that I had to have an individual plan for each heater. But that was quickly resolved and I got the individual coverage. Recently, there was not enough hot water. The techs replaced the part of a heater that they thought needed to be replaced but it went bad again. We're waiting to hear what their decision is on whether they'll replace the heater or the techs would still come to replace the part.

    The contractors get in touch with me within 48 hours. Only once did the request go to the wrong department and I didn't hear back from a contractor and had to called back. HomeServe apologized and said, "Oh, well, this should have gone to an appliance contractor, instead it went to a plumbing contractor. That's why you haven't heard back." Otherwise, working with the contractors has been great. The people who have come have been very good. With HomeServe, you're scheduled as soon as possible. They don't put you off weeks and weeks down the line. At this point in our lives, I appreciate having someone that knows the contractors in the area and can reach out to them for me.

    In January 2023 I had a water leak, and opened a claim with HomeServe. Their contractor came and repaired the water line on Feb. 4th. However, this contractor did not do concrete work so a different contractor would need to do that. The contractor who fixed the water leak told me they would be back in a month to level out the yard and sow grass back. They never showed up and did not return any of my calls. The concrete was repaired with no issue.

    On April 1st I got an email from my water company telling me I had another leak. HomeServe sent another contractor out who told me the original contract used the incorrect fittings to repair the water line. For context, the line was leaking .5 GPM. The second contract was from about 3 hours way from where I live. I say all this because I am now working with the "President's Office" of HomeServe because the first contractor dug under my sidewalk and did not put the dirt back correctly, and my yard has still not been restored. This has cause my yard to erode and the sidewalk to sink.

    HomeServe's rep told me it would be another one to two weeks before the company could come out and fix my yard. On asking if they could assign the work order to another company who could get to it faster, I was told that I had the basic restoration plan and it would cost me another $1000 dollars for them to be able to assign it to a different contractor. They will not commit to calling you back within a given time frame (I asked for a call back within 24 hours), and to speak with someone about the rep I was talking to in the President's Office I would have to wait 24 to 48 hours.

They fixed the turn-off valve. The tech had all the equipment he needed to do it. The guy was here four to five minutes. All the contractors that have been here were good.

    HomeServe has taken care of everything we've needed. We had the shut-off valve redone and they covered it. We love HomeServe because it helps us especially when we need something else done back in the bathroom. We had something wrong with it. Their contractor had to refix it and HomeServe covered it. We will keep them for as long as we can.

    There are 3 plumbing policies you must buy if you want all your plumbing covered. I had an exterior plumbing leak at the toilet, under the house. That was considered septic and they had no responsibility. The contracted company came out and gave a bid for $16,005.00; another local company bid it at $4,550, yet another well reputed local company came in at less than $2,000. Read the fine print..and call around for estimates. I will be cancelling ASAP.

    I have a service contract with this company that covers external sewer lines. I had a back up so I called a local plumber in the heat of the moment. A local plumber came out and snaked the sewer pipe and got roots out. He then took a camera into the pipe and showed me several locations where roots had broken through thd pipe which will cause continued blockage as well as leakage. Homeserve told me since I didn't call them first they won't cover anything for unclogging the pipe or perform any repairs to the pipe until it cloggs again. I can understand possibly not covering all costs since I had a plumber that was out of network come in in my haste. But completely refusing to cover any repairs is a complete fraud in my view. Additionally refusing to perform needed repairs on a sewer pipe that is clearly seeping sewage into the ground due to cracks from root invasion is borderline criminal in my book.

    The plumbers were respectful and skilled. They fixed the faucet in minutes. I am definitely a happy customer and will call HomeServe again. I’ve had bad experiences with other companies so this was especially nice. My house was built in 1973 so I never know when something's going to break down.

    Your employees did an excellent job in finding what the problem was. They were very professional and efficient. You are lucky to have such employees working for you. They located the block pipe and removed and replaced the block pipe area. It was a pleasure working with them and a relief knowing what the problem was and that it is professionally and quickly.

    We just got HomeServe and it has been great for us so far. They were great for finding a troublesome internal wiring issue, and also for troubleshooting one of our HVACs too. Both companies that responded were knowledgeable and found the problems relatively quickly. It is rather cheap insurance for possible issues with home repair. Many thanks to HomeServe!!

    I waited for over a week for HomeServe to take care of the problem. They contacted Rudy plumbing who was supposed to submit a bid and take care of the project. HomeServe nor Rudy never got back to me one time during the week long that it was taking. I had to have car seat plumbing come and take care of the problem and pay them personally and now I have to submit that bill to HomeServe and wait for them to reimburse me. Not a good experience at all.

    I had a problem with a blockage in my sewage line and I had it corrected by one of the contractors. The contractor was excellent. The guy cleaned out the line, and everything is fine now. Overall, Homeserve has been good, and I like the attention that they gave to my problem. They didn't push me off. They tried to help me in every way they could and I appreciated that.

    HomeServe is a good service to have because it saves you a lot of money in the long run. When I call them, they respond quickly. They usually asks the nature of my call, and they ask for information about where I am, and tell me they would give me an ID number, and someone would call me within 24 hours. They usually call before then. The people that they send out all but two times were good. We had a couple of contractors come out that have been lazy when they find out what the job is. They act like they couldn't do it. They don't wanna be bothered with the job, and they give me a spiel. But we call HomeServe back and tell them that that person didn't help us, and they would send someone else out. Usually, that second round is good. I've already sent several people to HomeServe's way and they've been pleased with the service.

    I'd rather have my HomeServe warranty and don't need it than need it and don't have it. I enjoy the service. Recently, the furnace wasn't lighting up and when I submitted a claim, the tech responded within an hour or less. He checked it out and the problem had something to do with the thermostat. He was polite and we had good conversation. He did the repair that day and I have no complaints.

    I have been a long time customer of Gregg Mechanical in Staten which is taken over by Homerserve about 5 years ago I was told. I had expansion tank and relief valve changed by Homeserve and cost me more than twice I paid to Gregg Mechanical back 9 years ago for the exactly same job. The parts cost a very small fraction of what I have paid. I am not sure if I can post the exact cost breakdowns here, but I have the receipts from both companies. It is such a horrible feeling being ripped off by HomeServe. I will never call them again without getting estimate from other companies. Unfortunately, I could not call other companies to get an estimate because relief valve was leaking water and had to be done immediately.

    Homeserve really helped us, and I was very impressed with the technicians that were sent out. They were very good and pleasant. The shower was filling up on the floor. It was clogged, and the technicians pulled up a few years’ worth of hair. Everything seems to be going fine since they came out. Homeserve sends someone out when we need them, so it's good to know that we have the service.
