Important coverage information
Benefit Details: Coverage provides, up to the benefit amount, for the covered cost to repair or replace the following components of an overhead or underground exterior electrical line, for which you have sole responsibility, from your utility's responsibility to the external wall of your home, that are damaged due to normal wear and tear, not accident or negligence: weatherhead, insulator, riser, meter base, and service entrance conductor.
Not covered: Repairs to damage arising from the disconnection or interruption to the main electrical supply; transformers; repair of low voltage wiring; generators; non-utility supplied power and/or lines; and damage from accidents, negligence or otherwise caused by you, others or unusual circumstances. The meter that measures the amount of electricity used is not covered by this plan but is covered by your provider. Additional exclusions apply.
Making a Service Call: Your plan starts the day your form is processed, and there is an initial 30-day waiting period before you can make a service call, giving you 11 months of coverage during the first year. Upon renewal/reactivation (if applicable), you will not be subject to a waiting period.
Cancellation: You may cancel within 30 days of your start date for a full refund; cancellations after the first 30 days will result in a pro-rata refund less any claims paid (where applicable). Most basic homeowners insurance policies do not cover repair or replacement of these lines. If you find you have similar coverage, you can contact HomeServe to cancel and you will receive a refund of your service agreement fee, less any claims paid (where applicable).
Renewal: Your coverage is based on an annual contract. Regardless of the payment frequency you select, your service agreement will be automatically renewed annually on the same payment terms you selected, at the then-current renewal price. HomeServe is an independent company, separate from your utilities company providing emergency home repair services and protection solutions to homeowners across the U.S.
