      At first, I found the company unresponsive but once I called Dominion Energy and got them to intervene, our problem was addressed and a solution was found that was agreeable to all. We now have a working microwave. I just wish they had better customer service from the start.

      So, Our neighbor came home and saw water coming up in our front yard. I called Homeserve right away knowing Id been paying each month to Homeserve thru Dominion Energy. The woman who answered the phone was so nice and put my mind at ease with our situation! She sent out Plummers to our home and told me not to worry about anything! She really put my mind to ease. I can't thank Homeserve enough for being there for us. I have told my neighbors about this wonderful plan. They had no idea that their Homeowners Insurance did not cover this water leak, homeowners are responsible for this expense! A Big Thank You Homeserve!

      Recently I had plumbing issues believing it was covered with my Home Serve plan, my only concern was to be charged ($100) to connect me with an expert who later billed me almost ($400) before my job was done. The purpose of monthly payments is completely defeated. What's the point making monthly dues only to be told I'm not covered.

      I was surprised that the contractor for a recent claim, Mayes & Sons Plumbing, came out so fast. Usually, it’s a 24-hour or more turnaround but this time, it was only 12 hours. Also, I had a backed up drain and they were able to address it.

      I recently had a plumbing issue and Hers & His Plumbing was sent. Their plumber got the problem solved within a few minutes. He couldn't tell me what the problem was, because, all of a sudden, it started working for him. After that, he snaked the toilet. He got the job done. I would recommend them for anybody. I have always had a home warranty on my home and I haven't been happy with the other two. Now, I find it quite refreshing to actually have a company that people are willing to work for. The two contractors that I talked with appreciated working for HomeServe.

      I had one they sent out that was actually a scam. My shower wasn't draining and he tried to convince me that he had to break up all the cement flooring and put new pipes in and charge me above what the home warranty would charge. He had my card processed into his little laptop as if he was paying the home warranty and never paid them. He left his ladder and said he was coming back to do the work but he never did. But I appreciate the fact that I don't have to pay a copay. I pay a monthly fee. In the six years, I've only had to use the home warranty four times, so I pay a lot every month and don't use it. To have to pay a service fee and then take the chance of getting ripped off by one of their contractors makes it rough.

      The three toilets in the house stopped flushing and it reached back up into the two shower stalls. I called HomeServe and they sent out a very nice plumber. He had a hard time finding the big pipe that goes out of the house. He was out in the dark still working because he was hoping he could get a toilet that we could use. But he came back the next day and finished the job because the sprinkling system in our community, which I had no control over, came on and the poor guy got soaking wet.

      A small tree fell on the power line coming into my house. AEP initially removed the tree to keep the wire out of danger. I called Home Serve because there was some damage to the weather head on my house. The Home Serve attendant on the phone was strange to talk to. She was silent for long periods of time making me wonder if she was still on the line. I would get a question from her, answer her, and had no acknowledgement that she had actually heard me. However, after 17 minutes on the phone with her, my appointment with the technician was completed.

      Ben, the technician, arrived on time on November 18th and inspected the damage. He said he did not have the proper weather head with him on the truck because he was not aware that that was going to be the problem. (It sounded like a miscommunication of sorts because I had told the operator on the phone what the problem was). He also asked me to remove the remaining branches from the wire before he returned.

      He said he would reschedule the repair for the following week. It turns out, they contacted me that night to schedule between 3pm and 5pm the following day. I said okay, and scrambled that morning to remove the branches from the wire that Ben had requested. Ben called and asked to arrive earlier than scheduled (around 2pm), and I said I was ready.

      He arrived, turned off the electricity to my house for about 40 minutes while he made his repairs, fixed the weather head and the guiline on the roof, and was done. He did high quality, professional work and was courteous and pleasant. He did say that I had to put new "Black Jack" on the guiline and on the weather head flange going into the roof. I would have thought that that was part of the repair. However, still I am satisfied with the work he did.

      When we call HomeServe, they come on time. But it was kind of an issue dealing with the people assigned when I had a claim. We called at 2 o'clock and they said to call back at 3:00. We called at 3:00 and then 5:30 and then it was too late to do anything because it was the weekend. I was kind of annoyed with that because my mother is elderly and we needed help with the toilet. No one came until the next morning, which caused a problem for us because my mother was by herself and she needed the main bathroom. Then, the gentleman came out and everything worked. But unfortunately, the same thing is happening again. He was calling HomeServe on our behalf to see if somebody else could come out that can snake it better.

      I have tried to get an honest answer and anyone to follow through with their service. I had called in a claim for an electrical issue that is well within the coverage of my plan and they sent 2 guys out who came in, didn’t look at anything and simply told me Home Serve only covers outlets and switches. I called back to make HomeServe aware of what happened and they told me that wasn’t true and they would send someone out for a second option. No one ever called or came. I’ve done this THREE times now. This is an absolute SCAM. I wish I would have known this before I signed up.

I did not mind paying them to come but they said they will come in eight days. I don't think that was appropriate. I had to get somebody else to come and do that. Other than that, I call HomeServe when I have a problem and they come. They call me to let me know that they're on their way and in the timeframe that they want to be here.

But then all of a sudden, that was out and I'm left with nothing but replacing the service, hoping that it could get fixed, but they say it can’t be fixed. And they’re telling me they won’t be able to fix the heat exchange, even though they can, but HomeServe doesn't pay for that.

I called Homeserve for an emergency plumber but there were none available. On Tuesday Homeserve called with a plumber to Call. MANN Plumbing could not send anyone until Friday to just look and not replace. Homeserve supr. told me to replace it. My local plumber was here in 2 hrs and replaced it.

      I submitted the bill for $1,180.00 Homeserve said submit the invoice. Then they said replacement not covered. "The only thing you can repair on an elec. water heater are the 2 heating elements," and I have done that in the past. Our water heater could not be repaired. Homeserve said they could only reimburse us $5800.00. That was unacceptable and they finally agreed to send us $693.00. Half of what it cost us. Homeserve did not live up to the contract!

      I'm a single mother, and I know that I can afford to pay HomeServe, but when a major catastrophe happens at my house, I don't have thousands of dollars to repair something on the spot. This is why I have complete peace of mind with HomeServe, that if something happens, my kids aren't going to be cold, we're gonna have heat and we're gonna have water. I've never had an issue. I call, the same day, they’re here. I've never gotten anything where they couldn't come for a day. I've had an issue where my heater wasn't working and they were here right away to get it started.

      But I was not really happy with my recent claim experience. I was seconds away from canceling everything with Homeserve because of what they did to me. I have a sewer system and I had an issue over the weekend. They told me that I was covered. They sent a plumber to my house and he said, “You don't have an issue inside, you have an issue outside. You’re not covered.” I said that was impossible. I would never not take additional coverage for the outside of my house. I have it for everything else. He said, “They're telling me that you're not covered.”

      I called HomeServe back. I said it was impossible. The rep said, “No, you opted out of it.” I said, “No, I would never opt out of anything. Just like the phone calls are recorded, every time you guys call me, you tell me the phone call is recorded. Well then pull up the recording of when I took out the policy because I'm telling you that I'm covered.” She said, “No ma'am. We can't do that. You're not covered.” So I had to pay the plumber $350. But then he returned to my house 20 minutes later to tell me that he got a phone call from HomeServe that we actually were covered. They had to refund us the money. Everything is working fine now.

      This review/complaint relates to a boiler installation that was carried out by HomeServe. Part of the process that HomeServe quite rightly goes through is to conduct a video survey with their heating surveyor. Having carried this out with the heating surveyor it was established that the boiler that we had was relatively small and the new boiler that was being recommended was much larger and would potentially extend beyond the area of the cupboard that currently contained a boiler. We were encouraged to upgrade to a more expensive boiler that was about 100 mm smaller in height than the one that was being proposed and therefore would fit within the confines of the cupboard and would not extend beyond the top or the bottom of the cupboard.

      The survey also explored the possibility of the flue being raised to accommodate the taller boiler. The surveyor established it was very unlikely that there would be a lintel in the way of the new flue and therefore his only fear is that a box area in the corner of the room which would have to be removed may contain a waste pipe. When I removed the boxed area I confirmed there was no waste pipe and we had already established the lintel did not extend into the area where the flue would be situated.

      When the engineer arrived at the property we had a discussion regarding the heating surveyor's findings and that there would be nothing in the way of a new flue position and therefore it could be installed higher and therefore within the confines of the cupboard. The engineer said something along the lines of, "Oh I don't mean to be rude but these surveyors are not in the real world and they don't really know what they are talking about." This may have not been exactly word for word but this is what he was implying. So basically he stated there was a lintel in the way of where the new flue would be located. He did not carry out any tests or anything to confirm this he just looked into the cavity and stated, no we can't put it there as there is a lintel and therefore I had to except what the heating engineer was saying. It turns out this was a lie, he deliberately lied to us so that he did not have to drill a new hole for the flue.

      The engineer installed the boiler and stated that he would have to remove some of the tiled area below the boiler in order to accommodate it. On completion of the installation I was quite surprised and shocked at the mess the engineer had made, the boiler sits about six inches below the bottom of the cupboard and he has made a mess of the tiled areas. He said I needed to sign the forms which I did because at that stage I did not know that he had mislead us into believing this was our only option. I have now had two independent engineers look at the installation and I have list of issues that have been pointed out to me about the work that has been carried out.

      Everything has been good with HomeServe, with the exception of my last call. It was horrible. I had an emergency in the house. It took three days for them to attend the emergency. I have outside water coming through my electrical box in the house. They made arrangements and they sent an electrician. When he came, he said, “Oh no. That job is not for me. That's a plumber’s job.” I had to call back and say, “You guys sent an electrician, but the electrician said that has nothing to do with him. It’s a plumber.” It took two days for the plumber to come to the house. When the plumber came, he was there for 10 minutes and glued something that he thought was the problem and left. Now, I’m gonna have to hire a plumber myself to come to fix that for me because I have the same problem. It wasn't even fixed.

      I have HomeServe for over a year now. But this was the first time that I really needed them for something major. I did it for a switch at one point and they were really good. They sent it and fixed it. It was awesome. But now that I really need it for something major, they really let me down. But every time I needed them, they were there. I’m just hoping that when I call them, they can take care of the situation for me.

      HomeServe offered $4.99 a month. I had plumbing with them then I took electrical. HomeServe only covers inside and outside plumbing and inside and outside electrical and sewer. But the warranty has saved me a lot of money over the years when I needed some service. I have told my friends about the warranty and I have been an advocate. I'm fine with their electrical service. They've sent reputable people out. I recently had an electrical claim and that was really good. A man called me and told me what day he would be coming in. He called me half an hour before he got here and he took care of the problem. He was in and out in 15 minutes.

      But I have never been very excited about the plumbing people that HomeServe has sent out here. They didn't seem to really know what they were doing. I only get four times a year to call a plumber. The same company came out once before and it was an issue with the kitchen sink backing up. The guy that was here was the biggest show-off. He had a trainee with him and he was using all kinds of technical jargon, which I understood. He then said, "I can't get the sink to do this right now. So, there's nothing I can do." I was really ticked because I couldn't use the garbage disposal. I finally got underneath and took everything out from underneath the kitchen sink. I got a big wrench, a towel, and a bucket. I undid the pipe and cleaned it out. I didn't need the plumber to come and do that anymore. I know how to do that if the sink backs up.

      I had another plumbing claim that I was unhappy with. I have a leak in the bathtub and the man that came out turned on the bathtub water waiting for the water to show outside the tub. That takes about 10 minutes and I told him this. He sat there texting somebody for several minutes then he told me he didn't have a scope to look down the tub to see if there was a leak. Those scopes are expensive and they are not given one. When I call for a plumber, I expect them to have equipment available to check the problem. After spending several minutes waiting, he said there was no leak. But as soon as he left, I could see water starting to appear on the grout from the tile.

      Almost a year ago, my water heater went out and HomeServe sent Presidio Plumbing and it was a top-notch guy that replaced my water heater. But that guy aside, I don't want to see Presidio show up in my driveway again. The thing with HomeServe, however, is when you call for a plumber, you don't know what company is available that's going to pick up the service call.

      I'm very disappointed with HomeServe's service as far as plumbing goes and I have told my friends about that. Unless it's something such as a clogged sink, I'm not going to call for a plumber. And if I need a plumber next time, I will call someone locally myself. HomeServe has three companies that work with them and they are at the bottom of the ladder as far as ratings in the city. The guys like Cummings and Silverado that are the high echelon plumbing companies don't deal with places like HomeServe.

      We had a leak that we noticed in the garage coming down from the first floor area and we really didn't know where it was coming from. So, we called HomeServe and they got ahold of a plumber. He came the next day and he located the leak pretty rapidly. He opened up the garage ceiling area, where the leak was coming from, found where the leak was coming from, and repaired it. He had to go into our bathroom, into our whirlpool tub, and our Jacuzzi tub. And it was in the actual turn and shutoff valve that was leaking. So he replaced that, we cleaned up the mess, and away he went. Everything's working fine now and we have no more leak.

      For this claim, HomeServe was on the ball. They texted me all the time what was going on and the plumber texted me where he was, what he could do, and when he could come. I would call it constant communication between HomeServe and the plumber. They did what they had to do and that was what I was paying for. Fortunately, I didn't have any other problems anywhere else.

      The toilet in the master bathroom was leaking. The plumber came and told me that I would need to replace a ring or replace the whole toilet then I'd have to get it and I could schedule to come back and pay him a few 100 bucks to put it in. He was great. However, I pay for the insurance. I thought they were gonna come out and be able to take care of things. It's no different than if I would have gotten anybody to do it. I buy the toilet myself and they don't pay for it. I have to pay them a fee that I paid less to an outside plumber to go put the toilet in. I was not pleased with HomeServe with the experience, because it didn't save me any money or time, which I thought it would. They don't cover everything. Customers don't get discounted for general plumbing services.

      Cassidy Plumbing came on Sept 13 to fix shower faucet. They said will bring parts and fix Sept 15 between 1 pm - 5 pm instead they came at 11:09 am saying no one home. Never answered my call between 1-5. Sept 16 another company came said I’m not covered (Kramer & Sons Plumbing). I’m very upset about this. Had to pay for everything out of pocket.

      I call Home Serve and within hours a plumber will be at my home fixing the problem. No mater what the problem is they get it fixed. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with Home Serve. As I said earlier, I call them and within hours someone will be at my home fixing the problem. Even when it's our A/C that needs work.

      Fantastic home warranty company that actually does what they say they will and covers what you pay for without ANY hassle. I have had several different claims that were all covered and I never even saw a bill. The company invoices HomeServe directly, and HomeServe lays them directly. This is not a reimbursement situation, and a Service! Service!

      I called for support since the electric company did not respond to my outage reports. Maria answered and was professional and to the point and was able to get a service technician out that day within hours of the call. The techs that responded (Anthony and Kyle) were extremely nice and polite. They checked everything out to determine where the issue was. Although, the problem was with the electric company's system and my contract with HomeServe didn't cover what was needed, they took the time to give me additional information/recommendations related to my electrical system that was very helpful. I feel that was above and beyond the required work.

      I am pretty much satisfied so far except when I called for service under the hot water heater contract the person did not give the information to be put on the ticket correctly. I was pleased with the tech. because he stayed with the job until he could get things approved. It did take the person on the line from HomeServe a long time to understand the problem and give him the approval.

      IN July I took out a service contract on my gas boiler. In September I had a breakdown and Homeserve sent out a tech who said it was covered. Then he came back and said his manager said it was not covered. They gave me one excuse after another and made many false statements that contradicted what their own contract stated. Three people were supposed to call me back but never did. Finally their customer service manager told me I would not be covered and would not honor the contract at all. They refunded my money and then hung up on me. Through my own research I found out that this is the norm rather than the exception. Please, for your own sake and sanity, do not do business with this company. You will come to regret it.

      Requesting the service was easy. The actual logistics of the process were a little more consuming, but then it was still good overall. In fact, in some ways, after working through the process, the representatives went above the call of duty. At the beginning, it seemed like it was a little less than what I expected. But ultimately, I ended up being very pleased with what happened. The first contractor I had was a straight-up bozo. I'm a class A contractor and when the guy came on the job, he was someone that I wouldn't want to have working on my job in the past. But the second one that was sent was awesome and had the job taken care of in no time. Overall, HomeServe went above and beyond to try to satisfy us.

      I haven’t really used HomeServe's service until recently, but it's pretty quick and easy. I had issues with my sink. It clogged up. I called them at 12 AM. So, they had someone here instead of me waiting for the next working day to try to resolve the issue. The person that came just snaked the sink and then went on his way. I had another problem but I couldn't show it to him. He said unless he sees it, he can't do anything about it. So, he wasn’t able to resolve that problem, but it hasn’t come up recently. So, I haven't really focused too much on it.

      On Sept 1, 2021, I reported a clog in the mainline which was affecting the bathroom area. To make sure I was reporting this accurately, I consulted with a local plumber who verified the issue. After one week, I called back Home Serve, only to find out that the claim was canceled, by "higher ups" as the Interior Plumbing contract does not cover clogged/broken fixtures. I spoke with a customer service rep., Cassandra, who kept repeating fixtures are not covered, even though I kept repeating there was a clogged mainline which is covered. She told me to call back later, speak with another rep. to file a new claim, but she guaranteed it too would be canceled. I kept asking to speak with the "higher up" who initially canceled the claim, but she refused to put me through to this person.

      I also have an Exterior Plumbing contract, so whether the clog is inside or outside the home, the mainline is COVERED! However, someone keeps making the decision that the problem is fixtures, without sending a plumber to assess the entire situation. No matter how many times I asked to speak with the "higher up", I was told "No." Another issue is that there is, suddenly, no plumber contracted with Home Serve, in my area. When I signed up, I was guaranteed that the company DID have a plumber contracted with them; and there would be no issues with getting service. Apparently I was sold a FALSE bill of goods.

      Once I tried HomeServe, I liked how everything was and I've always had a good experience with them. This last time, another guy came out after the work was done. HomeServe deals with a lot of different companies, so they maybe dispensed two different companies out here because after the one company had come and did the work, a couple of days later, somebody said they were coming out. I didn't know if they had to check on what was going on, so I said okay and accepted the appointment.

      When the guy came out, he was thinking he was going to do the work. When he looked, he saw that there was a new water heater already in there. But he was doing an assessment and he said that there were a couple of things that the guy who put the water heater in didn't put on there. He said to be in code, those things needed to be done. He reported it back to HomeServe, then I called HomeServe to see if that was going to be done and they said yes. The guy is supposed to come out here today and do whatever needs to be done. It had something to do with some kind of sediment valve and some kind of pan that catches the water just in case, then something on top.

      I had a stopped-up kitchen sink and All Dry of Baltimore came out, but they did nothing. They said it wasn’t a problem. I needed a garbage disposal and they didn't do garbage disposals. So, I told them that I didn't have a need for them if they didn't do it. I sent them away. I was too stressed out to do anything more. I paid the money, which was way over $200 and went on about it.

      I called another plumber and he came out, which I had to pay, and it wasn't the garbage disposal itself. It was a leaking pipe that was causing the problem. All Dry of Baltimore was just looking at the garbage disposal and trying to get me to buy one on my own and that wasn't the problem. Our person had to come here for two hours and repair it. But I've never had a problem with the service from HomeServe. They've always taken care of my problem and I’m glad I have them. It was the company that came out. If I have a problem again and they say that particular company is coming, I would tell them no.

      I called to report a non working attic fan. The tech dispensed out was fine, he identified the problem. I asked if they replaced the fans? He said he would need to consult with his supervisor and I would be given a call back. I did receive a call back and the supervisor couldn't give me a quote on replacement. This was on a Friday. I was told he needed to give it some thought and would reply by Monday. Needless to say I chose a different electrical company because to this day no one ever called back.
