Overview
You depend on hot water for showering, washing and laundry. Problems with your natural gas water heater can be a major inconvenience. Finding a qualified professional can be time consuming and costly. Get protection help from the high cost of repairs with a home service repair plan from HomeServe. If your water heater can't be repaired, the balance of your annual benefit can be applied to a like-for-like replacement.
The Water Heater Repair and Replacement Program provides, up to the benefit amount, for the covered cost to repair or replace a tank-based electric, natural gas or propane water heater that is damaged due to normal wear and tear. If your water heater is deemed beyond repair, you can apply the balance of your repair plan's benefit amount to a like-for-like replacement.
Important coverage information
Eligibility: An owner of a residential single structure, or a unit within a structure may be eligible for coverage. This includes single family homes (inclusive of manufactured housing), townhomes, condominiums and mobile homes. Recreational vehicles and properties used for commercial purposes are not eligible. Your property is not eligible if you are aware of any pre-existing conditions, defects or deficiencies with your water heater prior to enrollment, or if your water heater is instant-on, low boy gas, larger than 66 gallon, tabletop, tankless, solar, or designed or used for the recirculation of potable water as part of a heating system, (e.g. Apollo and MoreFlow). If you do not buy a plan for every water heater you own, the largest water heater serving the main/first floor of your home will be covered unless you call to designate a different water heater within 30 days of enrollment. If your entire water heater is shared with any third party or covered by a homeowners', condominium or like association, then you are not eligible. Only the following standard water heaters are eligible: electric: 30-66 gallon; 30-40 gallon 110V or 220V single element; 40-66 gallon tall or low boy dual element; 40-66 gallon tall gal; 40-66 gallon mobile home type. gas: 40-66 gallon including power vent/direct vent; 40-66 gallon mobile home type.
