    • partial or full home “blackout”

  • Overview

    Many homeowners do not know that basic homeowners insurance only covers things like property damage to your home, but not repairs due to normal usage to your interior electrical system. You are currently not covered with the Electrical Line Plan in the event of a breakdown. A plan will help with covered interior electrical system repair costs.

    Help safeguard your finances against the costs of emergency repairs with a home service repair plan from HomeServe. Eligible homeowners can select Exterior Line Plan, which provides an unlimited annual benefit with unlimited service calls up to $1,500 each for covered repairs. This optional coverage can help ensure that your electric lines can be fixed by a licensed and insured professional in a timely manner.
