Overall Rating: 4.4 / 5 (Excellent)

ServicePlus is unusual for having two pre-packaged plans that each cover a mix of systems and appliances. Optional coverage outside the standard plans is available for a wide range of home features. The company's Platinum plan stands out for covering two heating and air condition systems, which can be helpful for homeowners of duplexes or homes where there are more than one type of heating system, e.g. baseboards in the kitchen and forced hot air elsewhere. At a flat rate service fee of $75 per service call, the company falls in line with other warranty companies when it comes to deductibles. Customers can file claims 24/7 by telephone or online through the company's portal. ServicePlus publishes a sample contract online and a thorough explanation of what is covered under its two plans. We recommend that potential customers thoroughly read their contract to understand coverage limits, policies on pre-existing problems with covered items, and other important issues.

ServicePlus offers two types of plans: Gold and Platinum. Both of these have a series of optional add-ons, such as pools, spas, central vacuum, limited roof leaks, and septic systems, to name a few. Their pre-packaged plans can therefore be expanded to suit every homeowner's needs. No home inspection is required to purchase a policy. Appliance and system coverage is guaranteed regardless of age, make, or model. However, maintenance records are required for service and the company has a pre-existing condition policy which is unusual in the industry and may limit coverage.

Even though appliance and system repairs are often unexpected, ServicePlus' flat rate $75 service fee makes budgeting for home repairs a little bit easier. Some home warranty companies work use a scale to price service calls. We appreciate the predictability the company's service fee structure provides. ServicePlus makes filing claims easy. You can call the company 24/7 or file your claim online using the company's claims portal.

Freddy M. 10/16/2024 "Horrible is an understatement for the service of this company. First, they took 10 days to resolve the case of my fridge—no fridge for almost two weeks. Then they closed the case, stating they would only pay $200. There was no clear communication through text, phone, or emails. I found out through the technician, who almost never answers the phone. Their maximum payout is $1,500 with a lifetime cap of $3,000, and they find every excuse not to pay. My claim to replace the fridge was $975.92."

this is a horrible company, take your money every month. You follow their specific instructions to file a claim and it takes forever and than you are denied. There maximum is 1,500 with a lifetime of 3,000 dollars and they find every excuse not to pay. I needed electical work done no techs available in my area so they leave it up to me to find a tech. $660.00 later, claim denied. Need a new a/c unit, after 4 months no air, claim denied. Yet they are prompt to take your money every month. I am leaving bad reviews anywhere I can to advise people there are much better companies out there. This one sucks. First claim in two years of flushing my money

Terrible Company - Run Away - Review their contract fine print - they have a maximum amount for each type of repair they will pay out - Example - Sprinkler System - Most they will pay is $200 - Pumps- Water Heater- Roof $500. That’s after paying the repair deductible- Terrible customer service - never reach a manager - just a call center that deflects - Also - the Mediation Dept people actually are employees of the company. Very Bias

This company scams old people into buying a policy then when a claim is made they refuse for a reason that is so far fetched. My new AC did not pass inspection so I call Service Plus. They sent an AC company out. The diagnosis was a broken part. The part was under warranty but the labor was not. Service plus would not cover labor because the part is on "their list" of denied part repair. I asked for the labor to be covered ($337.50) and of course they said NO. They are a shady company. I was talked into a 3 year deal. I am 77 and a widow so I fell for their BS. I HAVE TOLD ALL MY FRIENDS, RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS what a terrible company they are. My rating for this company is...

I have 5 warranties with these folks and have a claim to put in. I called them and they say it will be 24-48 hr for them to have someone come out. I think I made a big mistake getting these jokers. How long does it take to dial up an ac contractor, 30 seconds. Not what I would say is good service. I can't wait to see what the service will be like. My first encounter with these people is not a good one. More to follow.

This company is ridiculous, no ratings unless they are negative. I bought this coverage through the year 2028, Platinum policy and have sold the home I bought the coverage on. This policy cannot be transferred to my new home. So, I want to cancel my warranty and get the refund. Well If you cancel the premium skyrockets to $91 a month and Ive had the policy for 24 months therefore I do not have a rebate, What a bunch of Bull***t Never do business with this company.

Given all the comments below, how can this site possibly rate ServicePlus at 4.4 stars? The business is a scam. Our water heater pilot light failed to stay lit, taking it completely out of service. We called to submit the claim and entered a multi-month hell of unprofessional "technicians", allegedly incorrectly-ordered parts causing delays, and constant follow-up required by us to get any activity happening. Then last Saturday, a water sensor in the pan indicated the water heater was leaking. We attempted to contact the company, but could not, given that it was the weekend. On Monday, ServicePlus told us to find our own plumber to address the issue, since their questionable... Read More

THIS PLACE IS THE WORST I TALKED TO ABOUT 5 PEOPLE ABOUT MY PROBLEM, ALL PROMISED TO HELP ME, BUT THEY NEVER DID. I TRIED GET HOLD OF THE PERSON THAT SIGNED ME UP, HE WON'T ANSWER HIS PHONE OR EMAIL, I LEARNED MY LESSON ALWAYS READ UP ON A COMPANY BEFORE YOU JOIN. THEY SAID 24 TO 48 HOURS, WHAT A LAUGH. THEN THEY TELL YOU CERTAIN THINGS ARE NOT COVERED. IF I COULD GIVE THEM MINUS-5 STARS I WOULD. I WISH THERE WAS A WAY ALL US PEOPLE THAT GOT RIPPED OFF, CAN GET TOGETHER AND BRING THEM TO COURT FOR REFUNDS, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GET ANY WITH IT. THE CONTRACTER SAID HE NEVER GETS PAID FROM THIS COMPANY. THE ONLY REASON I GAVE THEM 1 STAR, IS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T THEM LESS. I'D RATHER GIVE THEM... Read More

Buyer beware! This company is a ripoff and will now honor your claim. I was denied for my heating claim I had a HVAC repairmen come and look at the system he stated " The system is not working due to normal wear and tear". This repair company Service Plus denied claim due to maintainance..The repairman also stated that they tried to get him to say that something on my part was wrong for the claim to be denied. PLEASE DO NOT use this company they will take your money every month but when you need them they are no where to be found!

If you want nothing but issues sign up with Service Plus. If you do decide to sign up with this company do extensive research. If I could rate it a zero I would.

Zero star, it's the worst company for Home Warranty. I had tried many but with Service Plus you will not get anything fixed. they will just find ways not to repair or replace your appliance and reps blame the consumer after charging the service fee and not sending anyone. my AC/HVAC outer unit broke and they simply told me that is not covered without sending anyone to physically look at just based on the earlier visit. and for Microwave after waiting for 5 weeks they told me that they cannot repair it and offered $100 which I still have to receive it waiting for almost 2 months now. Zero customer service and most unprofessional company. do not fall into the trap.. even it cost little move... Read More

Horrible choice on my part. Even when they did follow process.. their choice of contractors were sub par.. several of them I had to call only to find out that they no longer work with this warranty company because they don't pay the contractors. Emergency reimbursement process is not Home Warranty Friendly...

I’m highly dissatisfied with Service Plus Warranty. In JANUARY I called regarding my washer not working, they sent someone out who stated he needed a part. Weeks went by nothing. I called they stated the part isn’t made anymore and they could send me a check for $200. A washer cost far more than $200. JUNE 16th (6 months later they sent the $200 check out via mail). Today it is JULY 21st (7 months after first inquiry) I have not received a check. I can wait 90 days for the check to cancel and they resend one or pay $35 for them to write a new check. I pay them monthly and paid my $75 service fee and they can’t do their job as a home warranty company and ensure I have a working washer for... Read More

If I could give it - stars I would. The service covered on the customer portal clearly states plumbing. After notifying them that I had a plumbing issue in my bathroom they located a plumber after about a week. The courteous plumber saw my problem and then said he was to collect $75.00. I gladly paid him assuming he was going to fix the problem. He came back 15 minutes later and said the company denied the service. He apologized profusely but said his hands were tied and that he was going to reevaluate whether to continue with Service Plus as he felt that it was almost theft. I was unable to get a clear reason why my claim was denied. I'm washing my hands with this company, and June 1st... Read More

Whatever you do, DO NOT use this company. They refused my claim for a water heater because the burner is longer working. They sent the own technician for diagnostic were reported to them burner is no longer make the manufacture. THERE WAS NO HOT WATER!! It was obviously broken. They told me they will give $200. When I notified the service department that I wanted to cancel this non-service, I was belittled and told that I had a contract, and used the analogy that I could not break it because it was like "buying a car and deciding a month later you didn't like the color". If you have been wronged by this company, file a report with the Federal Trade Commission. If enough of us do it, we can... Read More

They certainly take your money, but don't pay out!!! Over a year has passed with claim 727165 and I still haven't been paid. I have called so many times, I'm sick of talking with them. Absolutely no response to emails. Never send them your money.

After reading a few of the negative comments on this page I will just agree with everything I read. This is a nightmare company to try to get anything done and any home service company that cannot get techs to answer their service requests should be a warning. Of course one does not know that so before choosing this company or any home service co, call various service providers such as plumbers and electricians and find out if they will work for them before spending your money.
