When breakdowns happen, life comes to a halt and inconvenience sets in.

Many people do not know that basic homeowners insurance may not cover property damage due to normal wear and tear. It can cost up to $732** to repair a blower motor and wheel and up to $536** to repair a circuit board which are both components of your HVAC system. And it can cost up to $1,400** to replace a 40-gallon water heater.

**Per HomeServe, these costs are the national average repair costs within its network as of January 2023.

For just $24.99/month1, the Essential Systems Plan from HomeServe*, an independent company separate from CenterPoint Energy, can help protect your wallet from the costs associated with repairs to the important systems you may depend on.​
