Lowe's Expands Into Subscription-Based Home Maintenance Services
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Lowe's introduced HomeCare plus, a $99 annual plan offering two in-home maintenance visits per year.
LOW's program includes services like HVAC filter swaps, vent cleaning and detector battery replacement.
HomeCare plus ties into MyLowe's Rewards with perks like 5% savings, free delivery and exclusive deals.
Lowe's Companies, Inc. (LOW - Free Report) has introduced HomeCare+, an associate-powered annual subscription designed to simplify routine home maintenance while expanding its presence in service-led retail. The launch marks a strategic move toward recurring engagement, positioning the company beyond traditional, transaction-driven home improvement.
Priced at $99 per year, HomeCare+ includes two in-home visits annually, with customers able to select up to seven essential services per visit. These services cover routine upkeep tasks such as electric dryer vent cleaning, HVAC air filter replacement, refrigerator water filter replacement, electric water heater flushing, garage door lubrication, and smoke and carbon monoxide detector battery replacement, along with light bulb changes. The program is already accessible to more than 75% of U.S. households, supporting scale and adoption.
The model is built around Lowe’s trained store associates, reinforcing a service experience rooted in trust and familiarity. At the same time, the company is positioning this human-led approach as complementary to the growing role of AI in homes, emphasizing that physical expertise and personal interaction remain critical even as automation increases.
HomeCare+ is tightly integrated into the MyLowe’s Rewards ecosystem, extending its value beyond purchases. Subscribers receive 5% savings on select maintenance-related products and are automatically upgraded to the program’s highest tier, unlocking benefits such as faster and free delivery, member-exclusive deals, enhanced rewards earning and access to special offers. Gift cards for the service are also expected later in the year.
If scaled effectively, HomeCare+ could drive stronger customer retention, increase engagement frequency and establish a more predictable revenue stream, positioning Lowe’s as a long-term, service-oriented partner in homeownership.
