Pros and cons
Pros
- Premium of £2.36 keeps entry cost modest for home emergency comparison.
- Cover of Up to £3,000 with excess of £0 leaves free excess on valid call outs.
- Claims through phone and online and support through email, chat and phone keep phone contact open.
Cons
- Age rules of Boilers up to 15 years, appliances under 10 limit eligibility where kit is older.
- Operates as broker so cover is arranged rather than carried directly.
Who it suits
- Renters and owners seeking low entry call out help for sudden faults.
- Households that also want gadget cover beside home emergency.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers wanting Hiscox pricing at premium of $29.16 rather than this entry point.
- Shoppers wanting Allianz Malaysia breadth across auto, motorcycle and home rather than a narrow home emergency focus.
Safety and regulation
Home Emergency Assist Limited acts as broker, arranging home emergency and related protection rather than carrying risk itself. Oversight comes from the Financial Conduct Authority, with licence 584710 providing a public register entry that shoppers can check before purchase or renewal.

Frequently asked questions
What does entry cover cost?+
Premium of £2.36 is the listed entry point for home emergency shoppers. Monthly payments are noted as yes, and billing follows monthly, which helps spread cost across the year rather than in a single payment.
How much can be claimed per emergency?+
Cover of Up to £3,000 applies to home emergency events, with excess of £0 on valid claims. That structure means eligible call out, parts and labour fall within the stated limit, subject to policy terms and exclusions.
How are claims reported?+
Claims run through phone and online, which gives phone access for urgent faults plus an online route for less urgent contact. Keep policy details ready when reporting, then follow the instructions issued for engineer attendance and settlement.
How can customers get support?+
Support runs through email, chat and phone, so email, chat and phone are available for general queries. Use phone for urgent help, and email or chat for documents, renewals and cover questions that do not need immediate action.
Who regulates Home Emergency Assist?+
Home Emergency Assist Limited operates as broker and is linked to licence 584710 under the Financial Conduct Authority. That means distribution and advice fall under conduct rules, while risk is carried by the relevant underwriter.
What is covered and who is eligible?+
Cover spans home emergency and gadget, so home emergency sits beside gadget protection in the same stable. Age rules of Boilers up to 15 years, appliances under 10 apply to heating and domestic equipment, so check eligibility where boilers or appliances have been in service for some time.
