Electrics Cover meets the needs of homeowners requiring assistance in the event of a problem with the permanent electrics at their property.
This policy is sold, arranged and administered by HomeServe and underwritten by Aviva Insurance Limited.
Prices include all fees and Insurance Premium Tax (IPT).
Are you covered elsewhere?
Homeowners should check if their existing home insurance or other policies provide cover, expert assistance and repairs in the event of the domestic emergencies and incidents covered by this policy so you are not paying for cover you do not need.
Are you eligible to apply?
This policy is for homeowners only. Retail, commercial and other premises used for business are not eligible, and council and housing association tenants will not need this service. The property must be your permanent private residence and owned and solely occupied by you and your family with no business use. Mobile homes, bedsits, sub-divided homes and let and sub-let properties are not covered.
What is my excess and how do I pay?
You will have to pay the first £30 of any claim. We can only accept payment using the following cards: MasterCard, Visa, Visa Debit or Maestro. A separate excess payment is required for each claim you make. Please see the policy Terms & Conditions for further details.
How long after purchasing do I need to wait before I can make a claim?
There's an initial 28 day exclusion period in which you'll not be able to make a claim. Please see the product documents for more details.
What happens after the first year?
Your cover is set up so that it will automatically renew every year. This is to make the process of renewing easier and ensure your home has continuous cover. We’ll send you a reminder about 4 weeks before your cover is due to renew. This will confirm the price of your cover for the next year and prompt you to check that it still meets your needs.
The price of your cover will increase at renewal. Customers about to renew their cover for a second year can expect to pay £7.93 a month (£95.16 for the year), provided they have made no claims.
If you’d rather your cover didn’t automatically renew, you can cancel this feature when you apply. Alternatively, you can login or contact us to switch off automatic renewal at any time afterwards.
If you decide you don’t want your cover to automatically renew, you’ll need to contact us each year to renew it yourself and organise payment.
What happens if you change your mind?
There is a Cancellation Period which begins from the start of your policy and is shown on your Policy Schedule (“the Cancellation Period”)
If you cancel in the Cancellation Period and have not made a claim you will receive a full refund. If you have made a claim, you will receive a refund less an amount for the number of days which you have been on cover.
If you cancel after the Cancellation Period and have not made a claim you will receive a refund less an amount for the number of days you have been on cover. If you have made a claim you will be required to pay any remaining payments due for the term of the policy.
Please see the Terms and Conditions for full cancellation information.
