Following an Electrical Surge, You must call HomeServe to arrange for service in order for repairs to be covered.

You will be enrolled in the Plan on the day your form is processed, and there will be a 30-day waiting period from your enrollment date before you can make a service call. This provides you with 11 months of protection during the first year only. This prevents service calls on pre-existing conditions and helps keep the Plan affordable. You must call HomeServe within 30 days of an electrical surge event to start a claim. See full Terms and Conditions for complete details on eligibility requirements and limitations
