Gem and Home Advocate maintenance membership includes one inspection for each covered system per year. So if you have coverage for your plumbing and heating systems, for example, you’ll receive two inspections per year- one for each system. We do our best to accommodate your calendar when scheduling inspections, and will try to perform multiple inspections during the same visit when possible to save you time.

Yes! All Home Advocate members receive an additional 10% discount on any GEM services not covered by your membership.

GEM and Home Advocate membership is a 12-month term agreement, however you may reach out to our Customer Care Center at (833) 222-2953 or by emailing our membership management team via the email address provided to you in your welcome letter to discuss cancellation at any time. Additional information regarding plan renewal and cancellation can be found in your plan Terms & Conditions.

When you become a Gem and Home Advocate member, your initial agreement is for a 12-month term. Your agreement will automatically renew at the end of each year for an additional 12 months unless you cancel it. You may cancel your membership at any time. Please see your Terms and Conditions for additional detail regarding membership renewal and cancellation.

When you sign up as a Gem and Home Advocate member, you’ll provide a payment method, such as a credit card, debit card, or ACH. We store all payment information securely using the latest security standards and encryptions. For monthly members, we will charge your monthly membership fee to your payment method on file on the monthly anniversary of your membership date. So if you sign up on January 5th, you’ll be billed on February 5th, March 5th, etc. For annual members, we will charge you for the full year when you sign up and again when you renew.

Maintenance for oil-based heating systems incurs an additional charge of $12.50 per system per month. If your systems aren’t oil-based, no need to add it to your membership.

Only work completed by Gem or a Gem and Home Advocate service provider is covered under your Gem and Home Advocate membership. You must contact Gem to have work performed under your membership. Any work not authorized by Gem or performed by another contractor will not be eligible for reimbursement under your membership.

Nope! You can become a member today by signing up online or calling us at (833) 222-2953, or you can join during any service visit when one of our technicians is in your home – no home inspection required. If you join online or over the phone, our technician will take a quick inventory of your home systems during your first maintenance inspection – this helps us make sure that we have the right parts and tools on our truck whenever we visit your home, so we can solve your home service needs faster.

Yes! If you decide to sign up for Home Advocate during a inspection, you can use your annual inspection credit on that very same day.

Home Advocate memberships are designed for single-family homes. With single-system and whole home coverage options, you can select the perfect coverage option for you. If you manage a condo building or other commercial facility, we can customize a membership for your unique needs. Contact our commercial membership.

How often you use your membership will depend on the coverage you’ve signed up for, but most members use their benefits multiple times per year. Maintenance memberships include one preventative maintenance service per year per covered system, and we’ll reach out to you to remind you when it’s time to schedule your annual preventative maintenance. We strongly recommend taking advantage of your preventative maintenance visits, which can help prolong the life of your systems and reduce lifetime maintenance costs.

Priority booking a great advantage of the Home Advocate membership program. If there is a major snowstorm or a big heat wave, typically lots of customers need service at the same time. With our priority booking, we’ll prioritize your appointment over non-members.

If you need to change the date of your maintenance inspection, please call us directly at (833) 222-2953 or email us at homeadvocate@gemplumbing.com with the details of your reschedule.
