Help When You Need It
I woke up to no power! The switch in the meter box had tripped so I unplugged all appliances. It still tripped the switch. A call to RACV Home assist & they were here within an hour. Quick, knowledgeable, friendly, good advice--problem solved before the fridge defrosted!

Fixed the problem
This was our first experience with RACV Emergency Home Assist and it worked very well - the plumber came within the hour and fixed the problem in half an hour - wonderful.

Excellent service and response times
I called RACV EHA to request the assistance of a plumber to repair a leaking roof following recent heavy rain. The plumber arrived within 30 minutes of my call and the leaking roof was repaired within another 30 minutes.

Excellent service in the middle of a rainy night
We were very happy with both the operator who took the call and the plumber who attended to fix a leak which water coming through a smoke detector. We discovered this at 1am, and by 1.40 am a temporary fix was made and we were able to return to our beds. We were reassured and treated with respect. Thank you, I don’t know what we would have done without this service.

First emergency call response was impressive
On a cold, wet afternoon John came within 1.5hours of my call to RACV Emergency Home Assist. A roof leak had short circuited the lighting/electrical system. John temporarily patched the area, but the bad news is that roof sheets will need to be replaced. John's manner and able assistance were most appreciated. Faye

Terrible service and faulty repairs
EHA at Racv were great but sent Terrible, inexperienced plumber. Rude. Did not fix problem. Work fell apart. Quoted one price then charged more on completion. Roof still leaking and tarp on roof blew off. Waste of time and money.

Electrical fault - meter board trip
Showed me how to reset the trip switch and then take steps to find where the fault was coming from. It turned out that last night's heavy rain had come through a roof leak and got into a powerboard. Problem solved. Powerboard gone, and replaced in a way that the water cannot get in again. Learned a lot.

Prompt emergency service
Prompt, within the hour, thorough assessment and professional. Fault was traced down to connection to main waste line. Recommended specialist equipment to clear the blockage. Definitely a good service, and good value.

Where do I download a claim form?
As far as I know, there are no claim forms. One simply 'phones the RACV and tells them what the problem is - and they send out a tradie within one hour. No forms - so straightforward! Les
