After it was complete, he showed me the TV turned off and back on with the picture restored, then had me turn it off and back on as well, to show that the picture was still there.

"0 stars! Homeserve is a scam. We had our main sewer line back sewage up into our basement due to a tree root intrusion. The techs they sent out from Down Home Plumbing to repair the blockage ran an auger through the line and then told us they didn't hit any major resistance and the issue was resolved. They did not camera the line to source the blockage or to make sure they had cleared the blockage because Homeserve does not authorize them to do so. Not to mention the techs arrived 3.5 hours past their estimated appointment window and one of them spent the entire time on his cell phone while his (possibly barely 18 year old) partner did the work. Water began backing up in our main again immediately as the auger had done nothing but temporarily push the roots aside. So we called Homeserve again and told them this time that cameraing had to be approved so the issue could be fully resolved. The first company they requested to come out was unavailable so they sent the job back to Down Home Plumbing. Down Home Plumbing confirmed the appointment with Homeserve and I received a text and email confirmation they would be on site the next day. But when I called the next day to confirm the arrival window they could not find the appointment/repair information without calling Homeserve. And once they did find it, the tech and his manager called more than once attempting to reschedule it for 1-2 days later because they were busy and didn't feel sewage backing up into my basement was an emergency. After several heated conversations and multiple calls from myself to Homeserve, a tech did show up. He called Homeserve again before doing anything to make sure the cameraing was authorized and then proceeded to camera the line. He found a massive tree root intrusion and informed us the line would need to be dug up and at least a portion of it replaced. He let us know he would contact Homeserve with this info and they would be in touch ASAP. Two days later we had heard nothing, so I called Homeserve to be told Down Home Plumbing had never sent them the information. They assured me they would follow up with Down Home Plumbing and send the repair request for approval. Another 24 hours later, I got a call from Homeserve saying we needed to remove the tree that had caused the root intrusion. I informed them it would be down that day. They then asked if we would like to add a cleanout to the main line at the street at an out of pocket cost of $830. I told them no. They said that was fine and Down Home Plumbing would be in touch to schedule the repair. After I didn't hear from Down Home Plumbing for another 48 hours, I called them and was informed that they had told Homeserve the installation of the cleanout was mandatory by code and they could not schedule the work. Homeserve got it wrong! Had I not called Down Home Plumbing, no one would have called me. Mind you my sewer line has backed up for 2+ weeks at this point already! When I called Homeserve they refused to take any responsibility for their miscommunication and doubled down that the cleanout installation would have to be done out of my pocket because it isn't covered under their policy. I informed them that their policy states they exclude "Any replacement, correction, upgrade, or move of Your existing System in order to meet any code, law, regulation, ordinance, or utility directive, if not directly related to the necessary Covered Repair." But when you're replacing my main sewer line, putting a cleanout on it IS "directly related to the necessary covered repair." After half an hour of asking for a manager, a manager named Alisha tried to tell me the repair wouldn't work without the cleanout and then hung up on me. If that were even remotely true, that would also make it "directly related to the necessary covered repair." These people can't even read their own policy. Meanwhile, the work still isn't getting done! Avoid Homeserve like the plague. They are slow, stupid, and overpriced for the nothing they provide. And they use the worst (read cheapest) possible installers who could care less about customer service or quality workmanship."

Home Warranties questions, answered by experts
Yes, most include manufacturer warranties. Confirm terms before purchase.
It depends on the specifics of your warranty. The motor is likely not covered if you’re working with a limited warranty. The same goes for other components like the compressor and evaporator coil. Some extended warranties will cover the blower and fan motor, so read the fine print before signing up. Additionally, the manufacturer may offer a warranty for the parts, including the motor, though there’s likely to be a strict time limit for this coverage.
As with any other important aspect of a major home project, it’s important to know what to expect with a warranty and to get the details down in writing. This can help prevent confusion down the line.
Thankfully, many home warranties will cover R-22 replacement costs, and sometimes they even cover upgrading your HVAC. Since not all plans are the same, check if a home warranty is worth it before adding it to your annual costs. Most cost between $300 and $600 per year, which can be handy if you end up with an R-22 leak.
Reputable home warranty companies don’t have hidden costs, but it is important to understand the structure of your agreement and home warranties in general before signing up for one. The most significant and predictable cost you’ll incur is the monthly price. In addition to that, you’ll have to pay the service fee—an average of $85—every time you need to call in a professional for a repair or replacement. The service fee is usually much less than the repair or replacement would otherwise cost, but it’s worth considering in your total.
