The Appliance Repair Plan by HomeSmart from Xcel EnergySM covers the cost to repair your basic appliances - furnace, water heater, range and clothes dryer. No trip, labor or parts charges, so you won't pay for any covered repair on your plan. We encourage you to compare the HomeSmart Appliance Repair Plan to other appliance repair programs, what you'll find is better coverage, better pricing and better service from specially trained technicians.

The average repair cost for just one appliance exceeds the annual investment to cover four appliances with HomeSmart. For only $13.95 a month, you can protect yourself from the inevitable cost of appliance repairs - that’s only 47¢ a day.
For only $13.95 a month, we’ll keep your water heater, range, dryer and furnace or boiler running smoothly and efficiently.
Add coverage for additional appliances for only $4.00 per month per appliance:
For only $7.95 per month, we'll ensure your furnace/boiler or central air conditioner runs efficiently and keeps up with our Minnesota/North Dakota weather. Cover both and pay only $13.95 per month.
This plan has been designed to partially offset the costs associated with replacing equipment. If HomeSmart determines, during a service call, that an appliance is no longer repairable or parts are no longer available, we will submit a claim to help recover some of the expenses incurred to replace that appliance. HomeSmart provides a flat rate payout based on the type of appliance. The Replacement Helper Plan only costs $9.95 per month to cover all the appliances already covered for repairs under your Appliance Repair Plan.
