WHY WHAT WE OFFER IS IMPORTANT
Homeowners are often unaware of their responsibilities for certain repairs on their home. Many believe these are items covered by their basic homeowner insurance policy or the local utility company. For example, many homeowners assume their local utility covers the water pipe that runs from the street to their home. Typically, this is not the case. If this pipe breaks the homeowner is responsible for the repairs, which could range from $1,500 to $3,000 or more.
With HomeServe, homeowners get help in a hurry and protection against the hassle and expense of these and other household emergencies.

ELECTRICAL SERVICES
EXTERIOR ELECTRICAL WIRING- Homeowners are responsible for much of the exterior electrical components outside their home where the power company wires make the connection, including the weatherhead, attachment hardware, meter box, and service entrance cabling. This plan protects against costly repairs due to damage to this equipment.
INTERIOR ELECTRICAL WIRING- Provides homeowners with a convenient solution to fix electrical malfunctions in outlets, switches, breakers, fuses or the electrical panel itself caused by old or faulty wiring.
INTERIOR TELEPHONE & LOW VOLTAGE WIRING LINE- The low voltage wiring system brings life to a home’s thermostat, doorbell, alarm system and more, and can be a hassle when repairs are required.
