I have Boiler Service
I have Boiler Service, Plumbing and Drainage cover with this company. Last year my boiler was serviced and after they service water was leaking from the boiler. They insisted that I make a claim, even though the boiler was perfectly fine before the service. After several hours on the phone, they decided to send an engineer out. The man who serviced the boiler hadn’t tightened a bolt properly. The same happened when it was serviced in August! Because I hadn’t noticed it within the 7 days, they again insisted that I need to make a claim! I’m absolutely disgusted with this company and will cancel my policy with them. To rub salt in the wound, received an email with my details and asking if I would recommend them to friends!

Good Afternoon Mrs Kearns,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re sorry to hear that you remain unhappy with the outcome.
We have fully reviewed your concerns regarding the boiler service completed in August. Our servicing arrangements provide a 7-day recall period for issues believed to be connected to a completed service. As the leak was reported outside of this period, we were unable to arrange a return visit as a service recall.
We also found insufficient evidence to establish that the recent service caused the leak, particularly given that a similar issue had occurred previously. For this reason, the issue would need to be reported as a new breakdown claim and assessed in accordance with the terms of your policy.
We appreciate this was not the outcome you were hoping for, but we are satisfied that the complaint was investigated appropriately based on the information available.
Kind Regards,
Home Emergency Assist

We have had Home Emergency Assist cover…
We have had Home Emergency Assist cover for a number of years and we used it once for a plumbing issue - they did come out in a reasonable time on that occasion and repaired the issue, so was quite satisfied with the service at the time.
I called them again last night as our back door lock broke and the house was not secure. The policy suggested it would cover a locksmith. I phoned around 10.30pm, chased again at 11.30pm and was told I had been put through to the overflow team and was down as an emergency. I left my phone on all night expecting a call at anytime and woke up at 6am with no calls. I phoned again at 6am, the lady was apologetic but couldn't give me an update. Considering it's supposed to be emergency cover and they confirmed it was put through as an emergency as the house is not secure, it has not been dealt with as an emergency. We decided to cancel the claim and contact a locksmith ourself to secure the house this morning. I'm considering cancelling our policy and looking elsewhere as I've not found this recent experience very reliable and not sure of the benefit of paying for the policy if we can't rely on them to provide an emergency service. I was expecting it to be dealt with within a couple of hours and not left all night.

Good Morning Miss Packham,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry that on this occasion the service you received fell below the standard you were entitled to expect from us, particularly given that your property could not be secured.
We have since completed a full investigation into what happened and identified a failure in the way your out-of-hours emergency was progressed, which unfortunately resulted in you being left without the assistance and updates you reasonably expected overnight.
We appreciate that you ultimately had to make your own arrangements to secure your home, and we completely understand the frustration and concern this situation caused. We have been in direct contact with you, provided our final response to your complaint, and reimbursement for the cost of the private repair has now been made. We have also taken steps to address the issues identified through our investigation.
We are sorry that your recent experience did not reflect the service you had previously received from us, and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.
Kind regards,

I’ve been really happy with HEA so far. Although I haven’t had to make a claim yet, the service has been really good and I’ve found them very helpful and straightforward to deal with.

Not timely with their service
Not timely with their service. Had to wait more than 1 month to rectify a plumbing issue. Had to call them on the proposed day to remind the Engineer.
Then they cancelled my policy unilaterally afterwards with no explanation.
I had been paying premiums even before they rebranded.
Not the best experience.

Antwort von HEA
Dear Ade,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about the delays you experienced in getting your plumbing issue resolved, particularly that you had to contact us on the expected attendance date. We appreciate how frustrating this must have been.
I’d also like to clarify the position regarding your policy. While we aim to offer renewal terms wherever possible, unfortunately we cannot guarantee that renewal will be offered in every case. There are a number of reasons why we may be unable to provide renewal terms, and a decision not to offer renewal does not necessarily relate to the length of time a customer has been with us or the premiums they have previously paid.
We do, however, recognise that receiving this decision without a clear understanding of the reasons can be disappointing, particularly given your history with us.
Thank you again for your feedback. We take comments regarding both our service delivery and communication seriously, and your experience will help us identify where improvements can be made.
Kind regards,
Home Emergency Assist

Good Morning,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re sorry to hear that you remain unhappy with the outcome of your claim and appreciate that the settlement offered was disappointing.
We would, however, like to clarify that your appliance was not excluded from cover because of its age. Following engineering assessment, it was found to be beyond economical repair. Under the terms of your policy, where an appliance over five years old is beyond economical repair, the contribution towards a replacement is calculated according to its age. As your appliance was purchased in 2017, the applicable contribution resulted in the £80 settlement offered.
We appreciate that this is significantly less than the cost of purchasing a replacement appliance. However, the age-related contribution levels, together with the applicable policy charges and excesses, are set out within the policy terms provided when cover is purchased.
We take concerns about the clarity of our policies seriously and are sorry that the level of cover available in these circumstances did not meet your expectations. Your concerns have been fully investigated through our formal complaints process, and a final response has been issued explaining our findings and the options available to you should you remain dissatisfied.
Kind regards,
Home Emergency Assist

Pretty disappointing experience so…
Pretty disappointing experience so far...
Considering this company is called Home Emergency Assist, there appears a real lack of urgency to fix the issue reported.
I've been without use of my only shower for three days so far.
Having had to make two calls to report the issue on Tuesday, I was called by Plumbcare, who said they couldn't visit until Thursday to assess the issue. HEA did step in here and managed to get an apt for me the next day (props for this!).
Plumcare visited on Weds, but needed to order a part, which then had to be authorised by HEA beforehand. Having called for an update following the visit, I was assured the part had been authorised and I would receive a call shortly to arrange another visit.
Several hours later, with still no phone call, I called HEA again, only to be told they were only then authorising the for the part to be ordered!
A phone call shortly after from Plumcare had to arrange another visit for Friday! After saying this wasn't good enough, the lady said she would put an apt in for Thursday, but they may have to rearrange if they are too busy. So now I am left in limbo and perhaps waiting another two days for the issue to be fixed.
I understand there are procedures to follow, but its clear considering the product you sell, that HEA is wildly ill prepared to deal with emergencies by not having basic equipment available or enough contractors to fulfil demand.
Its such a shame as I renewed my HEA product earlier this year after a completely different experience which would have earned them 5-stars, but not this time.
**UPDATE** 27th Aug
So an engineer arrived early this morning to complete the work, no call beforehand but i'll take the win.
The engineer was great, assessed the problem and left briefly to purchase the waste plug needed to fix the issue and the whole process took under an hour.
Overall, the experience was harder than necessary, with glimpses of good service.
People pay for these protections so when issues occur, someone is there to fix them quickly, helping to alleviate the stress and disruption. Unfortunately, going through this process left me on edge and unsure when or if it would be fixed.
Thankfully, the issue is now solved, but it was a slog getting there.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear that your recent experience did not match the high standard of service you previously received from us.
We understand how frustrating it must have been to be without the use of your only shower and to experience delays, conflicting updates, and uncertainty throughout the repair process. While we're pleased that the issue was ultimately resolved and that both our team and the attending engineer were able to assist, we appreciate that the journey to resolution was not as smooth or timely as it should have been.
We have previously reached out requesting additional information so that we could investigate your concerns thoroughly, but unfortunately we have not received a response. We remain committed to reviewing the matter and understanding what went wrong.
If you would like us to look into this further, please contact us at complaints@homeemergencyassist.com with your policy details and reference to this review. Our team will be happy to investigate and provide a detailed response.
Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us identify areas where we need to improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in our service.

National Plumbing insurance has it’s faults
We are in the middle of a complaints procedure caused, in my opinion, by the plumbing company employed by HEA being too far away from the client. We had a leak from the toilet pan connector that fits into a cast iron soil pipe (1930s house) and I showed the plumber that the outside of the soil pipe had flaking paint (from a short overflow). He worked for Plumbcare in Wakefield and we are in Nottingham (70 miles each way) so he said he would need to get his tech team to check out the soil pipe. This is where it went wrong … I sent emails to Plumbcare pointing out the danger of “falling between two stools” (no pun intended) and three days later & no contact from tech team, after various phone calls from us to Plumbcare I finally lost my patience and decided to do the job myself. (At the age of 79yrs) After buying several pan connectors the wrong size (you need 90mm for metal pipes) I am pleased to say that I finally fixed the leak myself. The moral ? Look for local plumbers !

Dear Mr Breeze,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re sorry to hear about the frustration you experienced following the plumber’s attendance.
We have now completed our investigation into the concerns you raised with us. While we found that the contractor’s decision not to proceed with the repair during the initial attendance was reasonable based on the condition of the external pipework identified at the time, we do accept that the communication afterwards fell below the standard we expect.
You should have received a clear and timely update regarding the next steps, rather than having to repeatedly chase for information. We have therefore upheld this part of your complaint and have offered £50 compensation in recognition of the inconvenience caused.
We appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention and will use the feedback to help improve the communication customers receive following contractor visits.
Kind regards,
Home Emergency Assist
