Life\u2019s busy enough without house-related drama. Whether you live in your own home or rent out your property to tenants, minor property emergencies won\u2019t ruin your life \u2013 but they can really impact your week. Emergency home assistance can help solve these problems quickly and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture it: you\u2019ve just settled into your new house. You\u2019ve unpacked all the boxes<\/a>, you\u2019ve mapped out your morning run and you\u2019ve earmarked your new favourite coffee place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the first rainy day you encounter in your new place, the unthinkable happens: the roof starts leaking right over your teak dining table. Your brain goes right into solution mode. How do you fix the problem? Do you even know any reliable emergency trade services in your new area? And who would take a call at 7am on a rainy Sunday morning anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Origin provide emergency home assistance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it, getting reliable emergency trade services can be tricky under ideal circumstances. And emergencies have a habit of tripping you up at the most inconvenient times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you were an Origin Home Support<\/a> customer, the fix would be easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d just pick up the phone and call Allianz Global Assistance on 1800 758 350 \u2013 the team is available 24\/7 \u2013 and they’d help you get in touch, and arrange the repairs, with your local emergency trade services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Origin Home Support’s emergency home assistance work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Origin Home Support is an energy plan that includes a 12-month Allianz Global Assistance Emergency Home Assistance membership. It includes two callouts per year1<\/sup> for these ten common household emergencies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
