Appliance Protection Plans from HomeServe USA Now Available for Homeowners

Company’s New Protection Plans Cover Repairs or Replacements for Home
Appliances and Eliminate Service Call Fees

NORWALK, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HomeServe
USA (HomeServe), a leading provider of home emergency repair
solutions, today announced the launch of a suite of appliance protection
plans for homeowners. Expanding beyond its coverage of plumbing, HVAC
systems and electrical lines, the Company now offers plans assisting
homeowners with the unexpected cost and inconvenience created by
breakdowns and issues with kitchen and laundry appliances. Thus far,
over 1,500 customers have already signed up for appliance protection
plans through HomeServe.

“When a refrigerator or a washing machine breaks down – whether it’s due
to aging or otherwise – it can be very disruptive for homeowners’ daily
lives. On top of that, repairing or replacing such appliances is a
sizable expense,” said Tom Rusin, CEO, HomeServe USA. “Our mission has
always been to deliver peace of mind to homeowners, making expanding
into appliance protection plans a natural fit for what we do. We look
forward to freeing homeowners from the hassle of dealing with
malfunctioning appliances, as well as the service fees or costs that
usually come with fixing or replacing them.”

Bringing Homeowners Peace of Mind

As they experience the normal wear and tear that occurs from continuous
use over time, home appliances can often suffer mechanical or electrical
failures. Homeowners in these situations usually find that their
appliances aren’t covered, especially considering a significant
proportion of consumers don’t purchase warranties at the time of sale.
This forces them to navigate the repair or replacement process
themselves as appliances age. Additionally, while newer appliances
available today provide enhanced efficiency, the technology that allows
them to save energy or water also makes them more prone to failure –
making it all the more valuable for homeowners to enjoy ongoing
protection that comes with no service fees and no brand restrictions.

Through HomeServe’s appliance protection plans, homeowners are fully
covered for repairs or replacements to appliances. Having such a line of
defense can be valuable, given the Winter
2017 edition of HomeServe’s Biannual State of the Home Survey
recently found that nearly 1 in 5 Americans have $0 set aside for
unexpected, emergency expenses. Furthermore, the Company’s service plans
enable peace of mind not only by protecting homeowners’ wallets but also
by minimizing the inconvenience, time commitment and stress associated
with identifying the right provider to fix the problem. HomeServe also
provides a 60 day guarantee on all covered appliance repairs.

Accessible, Reliable, 24/7

HomeServe plan holders have access to a Repair Hotline that is
accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, as well as local and
reliable technicians to provide high-quality home repair services in a
timely manner.

HomeServe’s Kitchen Appliance Repair Plus plan, which includes coverage
for Kitchen Refrigerator, Built-In Microwave, Range/Oven/Cooktop,
Dishwasher, is available for $15.29 per month. The Laundry Appliance
Repair Plus, which includes Clothes Washer and Dryer, is available for

appliance protection plans in a bundled option through Home Appliance
