Buying or building a home is one of the biggest investments a family will make. Homeowners insure their homes to protect from unanticipated home emergencies as well as for peace of mind. However, many homeowners often don't know where their insurance plan ends and their liabilities begin, and are surprised to find out they are typically responsible for repairs to the pipes and wires in and around their home.
HomeServe USA (HomeServe) offers affordable Emergency Home Repair Service Plans to cover plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems not typically covered by homeowners insurance or the local utility company. HomeServe provides local, licensed, and insured contractors to get the job done in a professional timely manner. HomeServe offers these services directly to homeowners and in many areas across the country, HomeServe partners with leading water, gas and electrical utility companies, and water heating appliance manufacturers, to offer a range of valuable services to their customers.
Here is a closer look at the low-cost service plans (starting at under $5 a month) offered by HomeServe:
