“As homeowners do their part to ‘flatten the curve,’ we’ve found that many of our customers are limiting who they let in their homes given COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. Yet with sheltering in place also putting increased demand on home systems, there’s been an associated uptick in some home repair issues that require service,” said HomeServe USA Chief Executive Officer John Kitzie. “Given these two factors are today’s new normal, HomeServe is adapting its core business to meet homeowner needs. Telefix, a remote repair option, offers a peace of mind solution to common home repair needs during this unprecedented time.”
A homeowner who has a problem related to their home’s electrical, plumbing or HVAC systems can call 1-833-TELEFIX or visit www.telefix.com for click-to-call capability. Help is available Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST. HomeServe’s trained repair management specialists, who are also now working from home, will schedule a session with a qualified technician who will help homeowners diagnose the problem and walk through a possible repair over the phone or via video when available. If a remote repair is not possible, homeowners will have the option to schedule an in-person repair. Homeowners can rest assured that if an in-home repair is needed, HomeServe’s technicians are trained in social distancing protocols and have the appropriate personal protection equipment.
