What is a service request (claim)?

A service request, often called a claim, is a member's formal request for a repair under a home repair plan or home warranty. It records which system or appliance failed and the symptoms, is reviewed for eligibility under the plan terms, and, once accepted, leads to a scheduled visit from a repair pro.

Why it matters to you

MyHappyHome™ members submit service requests through the member portal after the 30-day waiting period. Each one is reviewed under the plan, a qualified independent local pro is matched to the job, and covered costs are paid direct to the installer.

Practical guidance

Describe the symptom plainly when you submit: what stopped working, when it started, any error codes, and anything you already tried. Having the model and serial number from the equipment label on hand speeds up diagnosis.
