This week Ed Power of the Irish Independent covered some of our Home Emergency Response research in his Smart Consumer Column titled “Step away from the drill.”  It’s amazing how many Home Emergencies are self inflicted as a result of over zealous DIY attempts.  It’s also quite funny how many of us try to cover up our DIY blunders from our other halves or house mates!

To read Ed’s rather entertaining feature and more than likely give yourself a  bit of giggle click here!

AA Home Emergency Response is a new emergency call-out service for homes, you can now depend on the AA to come to your assistance 24/7, 365 days a year.  We’ll send someone to your home immediately with NO CALL OUT FEE to sort out:

  • Boilers
  • Roof damage
  • Emergency Plumbing
  • Security i.e. glazing and locks
  • Internal electrics
  • Internal gas supply
  • Pest infestation
