Doesn’t cover most things, don’t know if it’s worth it. It doesn’t cover hardly anything, the people they send are great, but it doesn’t cover the issue. Why can’t it cover more things, it only covers a stopped up toilet. So why pay the money? You need to cover more things.

Poor drainage of water could not be fixed by snaking, due to hole in pipe. New pipe was installed, but another leak developed. A second pipe was added. Still sluggish drainage of water from tub. Workers tried to fix the problem.

I called HomeServe for my outside light. They came out and looked at it and told me that I needed a bulb and they couldn't go do that for me. I had to call another company to come out and do that. Overall, it's good to be able to call somebody that I'd had already paid for to keep service.

If you are looking for a boiler installation do not go through HomeServe! They contract out to companies who they do not check up on and do not ensure that they do a good job. I have had a boiler installed at a property and the boiler has been left on a temporary circuit, engineer saying he is not qualified to fit a wireless thermostat, the condensing pipe having also been fitted wrongly and a radiator left not working correctly and them saying it was a previous issue to the installation. Almost a month on I am still battling with Homeserve, we have lodged a complaint, to which we have had no response. They have had their money and now they are reluctant to finish the job!!!!

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.

Having HomeServe has saved us more than we've spent on the bi-monthly premiums. They have never failed to respond immediately when we call and have only sent really good contractors to unclog a sink, toilet or laundry line. Some neighbors and friends who use HomeServe would have had much greater expenses when sewer lines collapsed had it not been for their coverage. Can't say enough positive things about having this coverage!

With HomeServe, I don't have to search for somebody if something goes wrong. They do it for me. Recently, I had clogged bathroom drains and the tech was out right away. He cleared the drains for me, just like I needed, and he was very pleasant. He went through all the COVID protocols and cleaned up after himself. At another time, I had a hole in my front lawn and called the techs out. They dug out the sod that was there and found an empty dry hole. There wasn't anything leaking or anything they could do, so they put it all back together for me.

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. But if they're going to take care of any problems I have the way they took care of the last problem, I would highly recommend them.

I was getting a leak in the garage area near my AC, so I thought it was my AC, and I called out that company for their insurance. They came out and said no, it was a possible plumbing issue. So, then I called HomeServe. They came out and resolved the issue. I was happy with the process. With HomeServe, I like that I'm allotted a certain amount for the type of plan I have that there's no deductible. With the company I had before, every time that something happened was $75 deductible just to come up.

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.

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.

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.

Dubois Electric came in for an interior electrical issue, and they put in a temporary fix for it. The breaker box is kind of outdated. It's kind of reaching its age limit and needs to be updated. They were supposed to get back with us about getting that done, especially if it was going to be through the warranty as well. It should be covered under the warranty because it's the interior electrical box.
This was the first time we had to do a claim with HomeServe. The electric box just decided to start going out inside. Then we remembered we had the HomeServe interior coverage. So, we called them up and talked to them. The only hard part was finding an electrician. They couldn't find the one they normally used. So, they ended up going with Dubois. In the future, HomeServe could probably have a tracking number or a way to keep track of the people coming out to do the repairs and track order status. They could make a way for us to see how a claim is progressing like at what stage it is in, if they found the electrician and when they're coming out.

It's a money game and scam. I paid for years for the hot water tank service. When I needed a new one they sent their people out. $1800 to replace and they would only pay up to $1000. I was responsible for the rest. Thankfully I had checked hot water tank prices. $569 for a new one and my son in law installed. They should have done it for nothing. I paid all those years and then they jack the prices and you have to pay some more. Scam big time!

When you ask for help from HomeServe, clearly communicate the problem, have someone promise to come out, then have someone else come instead and refuse to work under HomeServe contractual terms, call HomeServe back and be told that the service requested is not covered under your contract, then call the same contractor to do the repair without HomeServe oversight, are told that you have wasted their time, but have them offer to come out anyway and instead have the same other electrician service offer to come out instead, you realize there is too much miscommunication and meddling in their services for them to be consider reliable.
Despite the fact that we have five contracts with them, they have balked at doing electrical repair work in the past, and though we have had good response with only one of these policies, we will consider canceling some of the other policies as they seem to be worthless and are costing us money every single month to help someone else.

I just submit a claim to HomeServe when I need a service. The process has been pretty easy. I've been told how long it'll be before the contractors call me back. The ones I've had, except for one, have been good. He seemed a little ticked off and I didn't appreciate it. Overall, HomeServe saves you money on a million things but there are certain things like the plumber doesn't fix leaks. At least, I was kind of told it wasn't one time. So, I have a leak and I didn't ask him to fix it because I knew they wouldn't according to what they told me. It'd be nice if they could do anything that you have in plumbing.

When my commode started backing up, I panicked and I called somebody. They came right out but they charged me 500 and something dollars and they couldn't complete the work. The next morning, my wife reminded me that we got that home warranty for plumbing. I called HomeServe and they had somebody come out. They were not able to complete the job that day and ended up having to come back. But I was pretty much pleased and satisfied with the K & S plumbers.
I was calling this morning and somebody called me back. I'm having a problem with plumbing again in my kitchen. There's water that's going down into my garage. Something in my kitchen behind my sink is draining water down so something has got to be busted. We have an older house that was built in the late '70s. It's well-kept but some of the plumbing still have the old cast iron instead of the PVC which is put in the newer homes. Some of the plumbing probably need to be changed out.
Having HomeServe is excellent because you never know when you're going to have problems. Even a new home can have plumbing problems. It's a good idea to have that extra security if you have a plumbing problem. Initially, I had gotten the coverage for my plumbing that goes from my house out to the main line because I was told that if I ever had a problem and they determined that it was not from the main line, I would be responsible for it. I extended the coverage and got coverage on my plumbing as well as my sewage. That worked out pretty well. HomeServe has been very professional and prompt.

The technicians came out quickly and resolved the problem. It was a good fix for me. We’re pleased with the experience with Homeserve. Because we have a newborn in the house, we would love to have communication over what they plan to do so we can better organize things for them. It’s better for us to prepare but it's a very novel case so I'm okay with things that already happened. HomeServe is a service that’s needed. We’ve lived in this house more than two years and something happened. So, we strongly recommend it.
If Homeserve has an app like the auto insurance that we have right now, it would be much easier for people to use. When I went to the website, I had to research for the things that were available there and I saw the phone number. So I clicked on it to call. It was the quickest for me. I just go on Google and search for the HomeServe website. For most other insurance, we use manual checking to see what’s happening with our bill or paying the bill. But with HomeServe, I signed up automatically and I never used it until more than two years later.

I have had plans with Dominion Products and Services since they began. When they changed over to HomeServe the service is horrific. I have had plans on several properties only to find that my checks have been cashed but my plans have been suspended or cancelled for non payment. Since January of 2021 I have paid almost 1,000.00 on several properties and plans and the customer service I spoke to today told me there is no record of my payments. The bank has confirmed that the checks have been cashed. The customer service person said there is no way for them to know who cashed the checks even though I included the payment stub with the payment.
Now I have to go through h__l to try and find out what happened to the money and the plans are no longer in effect. I have had plans for years and never use them, I keep the insurance for peace of mind, now I have no insurance and no money. A company this large should really have their record keeping more together than this. It is hard to believe that I get a bill (statement) but customer service has no record of the address even being included in any plan. I can't even imagine how long this has been going on. I have paid these plans for years. :(

In terms of arranging for pluming company to come out in regard pluming problem they were very good and so was the company they sent out. Very happy with that. In terms to resolving my issue with being over charged when making my quarterly payments and reimbursing me for the over charge due to issue with their on line payment very poor service. I tried to make my quarterly payment early March and the system gave me a message the the payment did not go thru so I tried again and got the same message. I called and was told allow for system to process, two weeks later the pending charges were gone then last week of March I had double payments on my bank account.
I called on March 31 and the agent I spoke to worked out a credit for me of $118.24 which I should see in a week or two. I called back in April and was told the credit would be put thru again to a supervisor for the second time and I should see it in a few weeks again no credit, I called on April 23 and was told that the credit was put thru for the $118.24 and for the unauthorized charge for $6.75 and I was told I should see this credit in 10 days. So I will wait and see. In terms of rating the service for the repairs FIVE STARS, in terms of handling the over charge ONE STAR, in terms of any supervisors or managers contacting me in regard to the over charge ONE STAR.

I had no hot water, & felt certain it was time to replace mine. Before doing so, I knew I needed to have it looked at first. After making the call to Home Serve, I received a call soon after to set up an appointment time. The appointment was the next day, a Sunday. The technician arrived at 9:00 am, was courteous, skilled & explained what was needed & how he would take care of it. My old water heater was then back to working fine! I was so thrilled & impressed w/ his professionalism! Am I ever thankful I decided to have it checked out before replacing it! Thank you, thank you!

Very dissatisfied with this service, would not get the help that was needed to fix a major sewer problem and as a result, we had to go with an independent plumber that cost us out of pocket money. We called several times and Home Serve would not send out a competent plumbing company to address our dire situation. We pay for a monthly plan to have a supposed peace of mind; however, this is definitely not the case.

I had a sewer line blockage that kept clogging back up. HomeServe placed a work order with one of their plumbing contractors. That contractor cleared the clog but 3 days later we were backed up. HomeServe placed another work order with another contractor who eventually did a pipe smoothing. I was also given a case manager to ensure the work was done.

The water line between the water meter and my home started to leak and so my water bills were escalating tremendously. After talking to the city, we determined that there was this leak, and they told me I had to get a plumber. I called a man who had been my plumber. He told me he wasn't equipped to handle this kind of job and he would try to find someone. But after a week, he never found anybody. Then I knew that I had this coverage, so I reached out and HomeServe provided me with the first plumbing company, but they were unable to respond quickly enough. They said they couldn't schedule me and if I could find someone else.
I went back and HomeServe said that they would find someone else, and they got Around the Clock Plumbing. This company was very responsive. They sent very fine young men out to do the work who appeared to be very qualified. Unfortunately, when they went to work on the line where the city was, they cut the wrong end of it. For two days, water just guzzled down into the street and the city had to come and literally repair their end of the line. Around the Clock Plumbing came by and did everything they could possibly do to make it right. Also, the city had to do what they needed to do. Unfortunately, it was a couple of extra days, and it was a lot more water wasted as a result of it. But everybody was very polite and they went about fixing it. Now, I'm waiting for the city to pour in the concrete because they left the meter a little too high, and they needed to adjust it. Overall, HomeServe was the perfect match for us and that's what I've told my friends.

I can call them 24-7 and they get a tech out here. Our furnace wasn't working and the friendly techs did some maintenance work on it. They did a fantastic job. The furnace is running well now. I've had HomeServe on my MDU bill for several, several years. And so it has come in handy at different times. We really appreciate it.

Our water heater went out. I called HomeServe thinking it would work out. It ended up saving me $1,000 on the bill. The replacement water heater was the end result of that, so it ended up working out for the best for us. The technician came out near the end of the day and serviced me that night because of HomeServe. if it was me calling as the customer to them, they would have waited another day to come out. The guy was a godsend. He said, in good conscience, he could not leave me and my wife without hot water over the night, so he ended up staying till close to midnight that night, getting everything fixed. It was a positive experience overall.
