HomeServe is dedicated to the continuous improvement of all aspects in our service delivery.

Contractor Network
To service over 900,000 claims each year, HomeServe manages and deploys a network of over 2,300 independent contractor firms employing over 12,000 technicians in North America. We also have 16 locally branded subsidiary contracting firms with over 1,000 employees in service areas with a large concentration of policies.
- We hire the best: Rigorous vetting of contractors results in identifying the highest-quality contractors in our network
- Quick claims process: Contractors are enabled with mobile cost authorization to expedite claims processing and obtain parts quickly.
- Monthly performance reviews of network contractors are conducted, and job deployment priority is given to the highest-scoring contractors.
- Real-time performance monitoring enables HomeServe to quickly address service delivery issues with the customer and contractor.
White-Glove Service
HomeServe maintains contact with the customer from the beginning to the completion of a claim, as opposed to “handing off” the customer to a contractor. This ensures that the customer feels fully supported throughout the experience.
- Immediate scheduling: Critical jobs, such as those with a loss of service, are flagged in the system for immediate scheduling and same-day service.
- Customer convenience: Non-critical jobs are scheduled based on customer availability
- Service guarantee: Our repairs feature an industry-best one-year warranty for parts and workmanship.
