Specific details are in the service agreement you will receive upon enrolling. However, some of the general things that aren’t protected in our Total Line Protection are: low pressure and clogs in non-leaking lines; detached structures; clearing blockages; and pre-existing conditions such as roots prior to enrollment or within the first 180 days after enrollment. Some of the things that aren’t protected by our Core Protection are: heat exchanger on the furnace; and replacement of refrigerant, evaporator coil, condenser coil, and compressor in an air conditioning unit.

Call the UtilityShield service center to request service at 800-581-8604. A qualified contractor will contact you — usually within 12 hours — to schedule repairs provided under your protection plan.

You must first get yourself and others out of the house and stay a safe distance away. Do not operate electrical equipment or your phone inside your home. Call your gas utility from an outside phone and report a gas emergency. Once your gas utility has made your home safe to reenter, call us to request service at 800-581-8604
