Exterior Electrical Plan
Paying for home repairs is never a fun way to spend your money. And having to deal with exterior electrical line repairs can be very expensive repairs homeowners deal with.

When you have a plan in place, there’s no need to worry about calling an electrician to fix covered repairs. That’s because our expert, licensed technicians will do the work and HomeServe will pay for the costs up to the benefitted amount.

What is an Exterior Electrical Plan?

What Can Exterior Electrical Problems Cause?
Issues with your exterior electrical lines can be troublesome for homeowners especially considering most of these components are located underground or in insulators.

That’s why it’s important to look out for the warning signs that something may be wrong. Here are some of the problems exterior electrical issues can cause:

- Exposed electrical wires
- Flickering lights

Many homeowners operate under the assumption that their basic homeowners’ insurance policy will help them in the event they need help with electrical line repairs. Unfortunately, most basic homeowners insurance plans do not cover electrical lines damaged from normal wear and tear. So, it makes sense to get exterior electrical coverage, so you don’t have to worry about paying hundreds of dollars for a professional electrician for any covered repairs. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing that the exterior electrical system problems will be addressed by our experts.
