All equipment covered by a Home Protection Plus® appliance repair protection plan must meet Code requirements, be reasonably clean and safely accessible, and in good operating condition at the time that the coverage begins.

I received a letter saying I have an unpaid balance on my Home Protection Plus® account. I pay my DTE Energy bill every month. How can this be?
Payments made to DTE Energy go toward your utility portion first (electricity and gas), then toward any other DTE Energy products and services on your account. If you haven’t paid your bill in full each month, there is a chance your Home Protection Plus® plan has gone unpaid. Please call 800.556.0011 to confirm and determine how much is owed. You can maintain your current coverage by paying the balance in full with a credit card by calling 800.556.0011.

Your regulated utility rates and the conditions of your utility service are not affected by enrollment in Home Protection Plus® or by your decision to use the services of another appliance repair provider.
+
How do I cancel my Home Protection Plus® appliance repair protection plan?
You may cancel your Home Protection Plus® contract without penalty up to 10 days after enrollment by calling 800.556.0011 or by e-mail.
