Important coverage information
Eligibility: This description of coverage, exclusions and conditions is not the actual contract; the actual contract will be sent to you within approximately 10 business days after we receive your Form. To be eligible, you must own (not rent) the residential single structure and you must be a SoCalGas® natural gas customer. If your exterior wiring is underground, you must own the land your structure is on. If your exterior wiring is overhead, you are not required to own the land your structure is on. You are not eligible if your home is a recreational vehicle or otherwise intended to be moved; your property is used for commercial purposes; you know of any current problems with your exterior electrical system before enrollment; or your exterior electrical system is shared with a 3rd party or covered by a homeowners' association or the like.
Benefit Details: Coverage for repairs from HomeServe (as the plan administrator for AMT Home Protection) or any other provider is optional and you can decide if coverage is right for you. Coverage provides, up to the applicable benefit limit, to repair or replace the broken, failed or hazardous permanent overhead or underground wiring, and the weatherhead, insulator, riser, meter base, and service entrance conductor located between your utility's responsibility and the exterior wall of your home, for which you have sole responsibility, that is damaged due to normal wear and tear, not accident or negligence. Frayed wiring that is still functional is also covered
Not covered: Damage or failure due to disconnection or interruption to the main electrical supply, transformers, repair of wiring connected to or any part of the following: doorbells, smoke detectors, garage door systems, and thermostats and similar type systems, generators, non-utility supplied power and/or lines, appliances, meter pedestals, pool heaters, fixtures or fittings, lines to detached garages, secondary buildings, or any structure other than your home and damage from accidents, negligence or otherwise caused by you, others, wildlife or unusual circumstances. The meter that measures the amount of electricity used is not covered by this plan, but it may be covered by your local utility. Costs on covered repairs may exceed the benefit limit, in which case you pay the difference between the cost and the benefit limit. Additional exclusions apply. Disputes resolved by arbitration, without class action or jury trial, unless otherwise stated in your full Terms and Conditions.
Making a Service Call: Your coverage starts the day your form is processed, and you can make a service call immediately.
Cancellation: Cancel any time by calling HomeServe. You may cancel within 30 days of your start date for a full refund less any claims paid (where applicable); cancellations after the first 30 days will result in a pro-rata refund less any claims paid (where applicable).
