In HomeServe’s 2026 State of the Home Survey, 22% of homeowners said they needed an HVAC repair or replacement in the past 12 months.
And the pressure can show up in the service experience: in a separate HomeServe poll, 18% of HVAC contractors reported moderate or extended customer wait times during peak heating season while 11% reported waits of more than three days or having to turn customers away.
These figures don’t measure missed calls. They do show why it matters to be ready when demand rises. A call that goes unanswered or a caller who doesn’t know what happens next, can add uncertainty to an already stressful situation.
