Overview
A water heater plan from HomeServe helps you navigate the repair process. Simply call the 24/7 hotline to schedule a repair. We'll send a qualified contractor to perform the repair and we'll foot the covered repair bill up to the benefit amount.
Water heater breakdowns can be stressful. A plan from HomeServe helps take the worry out of unexpected water heater issues with repairs guaranteed for one year, providing additional peace of mind. And if your system is unrepairable, the balance of your annual benefit amount can be applied towards a like-for-like replacement.
