When your electricity fails
it can be more than an inconvenience. No light,
no fridge and often no way to cook dinner.
Your gas central heating
may not work either and you’ll certainly have no TV to watch.
If your neighbours still have
power, the chances are that the problem is
in your home.
Did you realise that if you
are a homeowner, you are responsible for
the electrical wiring from the electricity company’s
supply meter, ensuring its safety throughout
your home and dealing with any repairs?
Affordable Cover
You can benefit from Electrical
Emergency and Breakdown Cover for only £49.99
a year. If you suffer a problem with your fuse
box, the fixed wiring or maybe a broken plug
socket or light switch, you’ll get breakdown
assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
from approved, local electricians and the bill
will be settled for you within the generous claim
limits.
Help is not always easy to
find
If the worst did happen
you would need help fast. But would you be able
to find an electrician you could trust? Would
they come out at night or at the weekend? How
long would they take to arrive? You may have
seen the television
programme ‘Rogue Traders ’, which
highlighted the potential cost of picking unreliable
tradesmen at random from the local
telephone directory. How much would they charge
and how would you know that they had done a competent
repair?
“Very
Efficient”
“My light switch wasn’t working so I called Homeserve and they
were able to provide a very swift and efficient service. I'm happy I took out
the wiring policy.”
Repairs can be expensive
It may surprise
you to know that the typical price (including
call-out, parts, labour costs and VAT) that an
approved electrician would charge a non-customer
for replacing burnt out wiring to a light point,
or wiring damaged by a nail
during DIY, could be £176.
Replacing a
fuse box could cost as much as £300 and
even the simple replacement of a
damaged socket could cost £71. An unknown
electrician could take advantage of the situation
and charge even more.
The costs quoted
are the standard prices charged by Homeserve
electricians to non Homeserve customers
Your
home insurance may not cover you
Your
home insurance is unlikely to cover the
cost of electrical repairs, only damage
(such as fire) that results from a breakdown.

Some
may offer a ‘helpline’ but
you will still have to pay the bill. In
the unlikely event that your home
insurance does provide the same cover,
you will receive a full refund.
