HomeServe EMEA

What HomeServe EMEA does

HomeServe Limited (formerly HomeServe plc) is a European home assistance and energy efficiency provider founded in 1993 and headquartered in Walsall, United Kingdom. The company operates across eight countries — the UK, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Greece, and Japan — serving approximately 3.5 million residential membership customers through 24/7 operations, a workforce of 7,203 employees, and a network of more than 10,000 vetted tradespeople. Its offering is structured around three business segments: Membership (annual subscriptions covering emergency plumbing, electrical, and heating repairs), HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning installations, supported by 80 completed HVAC acquisitions and 26,600 annual installations), and Home Experts (on-demand and scheduled home repair services delivered via the tradesperson network). Group revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership fees, supplemented by hardware sales for HVAC systems and transactional fees for Home Experts jobs.

The company maintains a multi-brand architecture including HomeServe (regional subsidiaries in each country), BOXT (HVAC and heat pump installations targeting low-carbon home transitions), Zuno (technology-enabled home energy efficiency services), and HomeServe Finance (consumer financing for home repair and improvement). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via country-specific websites and customer service centers, with services delivered through a combination of employed staff and contracted tradespeople. Following its January 2023 acquisition by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P at £12 per share, HomeServe was taken private and re-registered as HomeServe Limited, with stated strategic intent to become the European leader in home energy efficiency while continuing to scale its membership and HVAC businesses across the EMEA region.
