HomeServe USA to Offer Home Protection Plans to UniSource Energy Services Customers

Tucson, AZ- Customers of Unisource Energy Services(UES) will soon have access to a broad new array of enhanced home repair plans through HomeServe USA(HomeServe), a leading provider of home repair service programs.

Starting this month, UES customers will begin receiving information from HomeServe describing the initial offerings. The affordable protection plans available will include coverage of homeowners’ interior gas and electric lines.  Customers holding these plans through HomeServe will have access to an Emergency Repair Hotline that is accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to bring local, licensed and insured contractors right to their home for repairs.

The plans offered by HomeServe protect homeowners from the cost of repairs that are not covered by basic home insurance or a local utility.  For example, homeowners are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the interior gas lines in their home.  Now, with coverage provided by HomeServe, UES customers have an affordable option with guaranteed repairs.

“We’re pleased to announce the availability of these optional protection plans for our customers,” said Steve Lynn, chief customer officer of UES and its parent company, UniSource Energy Corporation (NYSE: UNS). “While our crews are quick to respond to utility system outages, we cannot repair the problems that occur in our customers’ homes.  That’s where HomeServe USA comes in.”

“When homeowners face an emergency, the last things they want to worry about are finding a reputable repairperson in a hurry and high repair costs,” said Jonathan King, chief executive officer of HomeServe USA. “HomeServe plans will provide customers of UES with the reassuranceof knowing that if they experience problems with any of their covered equipment, they will not be financially liable or responsible for finding someone to make repairs.”
