      HomeServ offers a water protection plan through ******** with our local water department. Ive been paying a monthly fee for several years. I recently submitted a claim in which they denied (Claim ********). I had a water leak in excess of $2,000. I had a much smaller claim 10 months prior (its an older house). They denied my claim due to it being within the 12 month window. Ive copied and pasted below from their own listing that it states that it protects one claim per calendar year. I realize this is probably a larger amount than normal claims, Im just hoping they do what is right.

      ******** is a program that offers water loss coverage and leak protection. The program is offered by different companies, such as *** and HomeServe. The coverage protects customers from excess water charges resulting from eligible plumbing leaks up to $1,000. The protection pays up to $2,500 for an increased water bill from a repaired plumbing leak and will allow one claim per calendar year. Residential customers are automatically protected by the Water Loss Program.

      Locality inundated with HomeServe invitations for home service insurance policies.
      Subscribed to Plumbing/Drainage and Exterior Sewer/Septic Lines policies for over 2 years.
      Developed a home fresh water leak on 9/19/2024 requiring shutting the main water supply to control, leaving no running water to home. Contacted HomeServe but it turned out they have no network nor contracted plumbers in my area to address service calls, much less emergencies. All licensed/insured plumbers employed by plumbing/construction companies overbook with their own work orders & will not take referrals from HomeServe. I was asked to find my own licensed plumber PROVIDED he is insured to apply for reimbursement (no such entity exist that I can find to take the job). Thought the whole idea of the insurance was for peace of mind & to avoid this very predicament. After more that a week of this dilemma (and no running water), and with no relief nor resolution in sight, I decided to cancel both policies, knowing that if HomeServe was unable to address my home plumbing woes, it would be unrealistic to expect them to address any exterior pipe issues which will require more manpower & equipment. I can only assume they made no preparations and established no network/contractors to deliver on their promised services for any claim(s) and as such is a breach of contract. I requested full refunds of the premiums I paid monthly for both policies for over two years as I never received any promised repair service. Even spoke to a lady representative from the Office of the President (OTP) regarding my grievances but the only redress/recompense she would offer was partial pro-rated refund of $122.47, less than 20% of the total premiums collected from me over the years when the fault was entirely theirs for failing to deliver promised service of a legitimate claim. Any insurance company is only as good as the trust and reputation they project to the public they serve and to make amends if they fall short.

      I am filing this complaint regarding my experience with HomeServe and their failure to honor a water heater service plan I purchased. In July 2024, I modified my plan based on information provided by a HomeServe representative, who assured me it would cover repair or replacement costs for my water heater. This understanding was critical, as I chose the plan specifically to avoid out-of-pocket expenses should my water heater require replacement.
      On October 30, 2024, my water heater failed, leaving my family and me without hot water. HomeServe promptly sent a technician to assess the unit. After his inspection, he concluded that the water heater required replacement. Unfortunately, I received no follow-up and I was left without any response or guidance from HomeServe.
      On November 4th,I finally received a call from a HomeServe representative named Charlene. She informed me that the water heater plan had been sold to me in error and that HomeServe would not cover the replacement costs, despite my understanding at the time of purchase. Charlene explained that she was relaying a message from management and that nothing further could be done. As a family with young children and an elderly family member, this situation created considerable discomfort and inconvenience. Given that I purchased this plan to avoid such issues, this experience has been both frustrating and disappointing. I am requesting that HomeServe honor the service plan as it was sold to me or, at the very least, provide compensation for the costs I incurred due to their error. Additionally, I would appreciate any corrective actions HomeServe could implement to ensure that no other customer experiences similar issues due to miscommunication or errors in plan offerings.
      While I understand that errors can occur, I believe it is unfair that my family was left without a critical household necessity due to a mistake on HomeServe’s part. I hope the BBB can assist in resolving this matter fairly and professionally.

      I've a home warranty plan with HomeServe. On 08/05/2024, I raised a service request for non functioning microwave and cooking range. The team promptly inspected and offered me a buy out, since both the appliances were beyond repair. The replacement amount was approved and I was told I should be getting the checks soon. I was offered ***** store card as a faster method of alternate payment but I didn't want to restrict to just one store so I opted for checks.

      After that, I called them multiple times and I was told that the processing will take 30 days and checks will be mailed only after that. I again called multiple times and was told that the checks might take another 30 days to reach me. So, I waited for another 30 days. Today is 11/4 and it's almost 3 months I've not received my checks.

      During my last call, I had mentioned to the customer service rep that I am running out of patience and will need the replacement checks via overnight delivery but not response. I also indicated that If i do not receive the replacement checks I'll raise a complaint at BBB but looks like the company is not even bothered with that. I've at least called 8-9 times until now but still no luck in getting the checks.

      Work done in September 2024. Replace seeer drain line from house to street curb. Two large excavation required due to broken drain line. Work done by ****** ******* per approval of HomeServe. I paid the contractor. HomeServe will not reimburse me. They are demanding a city inspection report. All work was done on my property. The city had their own independent problem for our curb to the center of the street. They did nothing on my property. They declined to submit an inspection report because they didn’t do any work on my property. They simply connected my new line to their repaired their repaired line. They consider their work order irrelevant to our work and will not produce it. I have informed HomeServe and they insist on my submitting a non existent inspection report in order to reimburse me.

      I put in a service request for my two electronic devices that had broken screens. In order to do that I had to give make, model, and serial number. I was approved for a buyout after entering this information via homeserve.com. A few days go by and I did not hear anything from home serve so I reached out and was told someone will be reaching out soon. The next day I received a call and was unable to answer the homeserve rep left a message stating homeserve needs the make and model of my devices which didn't make sense being as tho you can't even file the claim without it. So just to be thorough I rechecked my devices to see if their was any additional information I missed and their was none. I then returned the call and get to the department that handles this and after going back and fourth with the homeserve rep. She saw that my claim was approved but was just laying dormant. She explained that she didn't understand why that was and that they supposed to reach out 24 hours after my initial claim was approved. She then said she needed to speak with her supervisor and that someone will reach out with in 24 hours. The next day I receive a call saying my buyout was approved, I was then informed of the amount I will be receiving. I approved and was emailed a direct deposit form that I filled out and returned. I received confirmation that my direct deposit form was received. The next day I received a reimbursement form through email. I disregarded that because I was approved for a buyout. The next day I get a voicemail stating that they need the make and model of my devices again. I returned the call and homeserve stated that they still need this information and that it's there in the notes, after going back and fourth and getting nowhere I requested to speak with a supervisor. I was told one was not available and that one will call with in 24 hours then the representative rudely hung the phone up on me. Problem still not resolved. Still have not heard nothing back.

      I have purchased an internal plumbing and drainage system contract with Home Serve USA for the house located at *** ******** ******* ****** ****** ** *****. I have reported a leak to Home Serve on October 3, 2024 in my side entrance apartment. Home Serve assigned the work order to ******** * *** which came out numerous time to fixed the problem. The technitian said that cause of problem is the grouting, then he said that the drain was loose and water is leaking there. The last time the technitian open the ceiling and left it ope without fixing it. The water is still leaking into the apartment for a month and damaging the property. I have requested a different plumber but I was denied that by Home Serve. This conduct is totally unacceptable.

      We are in receipt of
      the complaint filed by ****** ******** and regret to learn of his
      dissatisfaction. HomeServe USA places our customers at the heart of everything
      we do and considers customer satisfaction of utmost importance. We take
      customer complaints seriously and are happy to report that we have resolved
      this issue.

      In response to this
      complaint, a member of HomeServe’s Office of the President (“OTP”) conducted a
      detailed investigation of the issue. *** ******** first called about this leak on
      October 7th, 2024, with our network provider attending the following day, October
      8th, 2024. The network provider determined that the water leak was a result of missing
      floor tile grout outside of the shower in the upstairs unit. *** ******** later
      called back to report he had addressed the grout issue, but a leak was still
      present.

      On October 23rd,
      2024, our network provider attended
      the home for a second time opening the ceiling in the downstairs unit and
      testing the drain and supply lines in the area, however they were unable to
      recreate the leak while on site. On October 29th, 2024, the network
      provider attended the home for a third time to make a final assessment. The
      network provider checked the drain and supply lines again and was unable to
      recreate the leak. However, when pouring water directly onto the floor tile, adjacent
      to the shower in the upstairs unit, they could see water leaking into the
      downstairs unit. This confirmed the water leak was a result of the missing grout
      and unrelated to the drain or supply lines.

      Based on this
      investigation the OTP member emailed *** ******** on October 30, 2024, and
      offered clarification of coverage explaining that because this leak is
      unrelated to the system pipes that carry fresh or drinkable water and
      wastewater in his unit it is not covered under this service agreement.

      We understand this
      may not be the outcome *** ******** desired, however, we maintain that the
      answer is fair, reasonable and consistent with the expectations of the service
      agreement. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and giving
      us the opportunity to respond. We welcome *** ******** to reach out to us with
      any further concerns.

      I have bought an annual water heater repair contract from HomeServe, my drain value was leaking and getting sulfur smell in water, so will need the drain value and anode rod replaced, however two service agents came and deemed my water heater "too old for repair"  Luckily I only paid $83.88 for the annual contract however, if I had this contract for 5 or 10 years and needed any repairs, the company could basically say the water heater is "too old to repair" no matter what the problem is with my water heater the company would have gained years profits from a useless water repair contract. I expect the company to provide a full refund for this useless water heater repair contract where I could have easily brought the parts myself from home depot and replace it myself.  It appears the goal of the service agents are to come over and tell the customer the water heaters are too old for repair and upsell you by selling you a $3000 water heater replacement.  I will report this to the service company on google review as they basically did not do or repair anything.   In fact the first service agent came out just to take down the serial number to remove my insulation for the water heater and did not replace the insulation for my water heater which is considered damage to my property. Attached pictures of damage to my water heater so they can "get my serial number and deem my water heater too old to repair"   Ridiculous why anyone would work with this frivolous scam of a "service / repair" company

      I have bought an annual water heater repair contract from HomeServe, my drain value was leaking and getting sulfur smell in water, so will need the drain value and anode rod replaced, however two service agents came and deemed my water heater "too old for repair"  Luckily I only paid $83.88 for the annual contract however, if I had this contract for 5 or 10 years and needed any repairs, the company could basically say the water heater is "too old to repair" no matter what the problem is with my water heater the company would have gained years profits from a useless water repair contract. I expect the company to provide a full refund for this useless water heater repair contract where I could have easily brought the parts myself from home depot and replace it myself.  It appears the goal of the service agents are to come over and tell the customer the water heaters are too old for repair and upsell you by selling you a $3000 water heater replacement.  I will report this to the service company on google review as they basically did not do or repair anything.   In fact the first service agent came out just to take down the serial number to remove my insulation for the water heater and did not replace the insulation for my water heater which is considered damage to my property. Attached pictures of damage to my water heater so they can "get my serial number and deem my water heater too old to repair"   Ridiculous why anyone would work with this frivolous scam of a "service / repair" company

      We are in receipt of the complaint filed by **** **** and regret to learn of his dissatisfaction. HomeServe USA places our customers at the heart of everything we do and considers customer satisfaction of utmost importance. We take customer complaints seriously and are happy to report that the issue is resolved.

      In response to this complaint, a member of HomeServe’s Office of the President conducted a detailed investigation of the issue and as a result, called *** **** on October 24th, 2024 and clarified that, per the Terms and Conditions, a pro-rata refund will not be provided as the claim amounts that have been processed were greater than the total premiums received for the plan. *** **** accepted this outcome.

      Both of the HomeServe contracted service providers determined that any repairs made to the unit would likely fail due to the age of the unit. The recommendation was to replace his unit and replacement is not covered under *** ****’s service agreement.

      Additionally, as for *** ****’s concerns regarding possible property damage, reasonable access must be made for diagnostic and repair purposes, and the removal of the insulation was necessary to complete the assessment. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and giving us the opportunity to respond. We welcome *** **** to reach out to us with any further concerns.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:


      In summary, a HomeServe REPAIR contract with any “old” water heater is utterly USELESS.  I rest my case.

       Sincerely,



      ****

      someone mistakenly signed me up for an account charging me 5.49 a month from 4/20/23-1/22/24 when I noticed it on my utility company bill I called to cancel. Through MANY hours of phone calls to your company over the past 10 months we found out that there is a customer with the same last name with a similar address as mine that her account was signed up and billed to me then when it was cancelled a check was sent to her instead of me. When this was discovered I was told they voided that check and cut me a new check. I have been told MULTIPLE times that I would be cut a check for $54.90 it has never happened!!! I have spoken with 5 or 6 customer service reps from your company spending over 10 hrs on the phone retelling the story EVERYTIME hoping I can get them to understand and I just want my money back since I never signed up for your product!

      I received a letter in the mail from the company which I'm assuming has a check in it. However it is for someone with the wrong first name so this complaint is definitely not resolved. I contacted the company just this morning and I'm awaiting a response.

      Once I receive a check in the mail with my name on it then I will be satisfied.
