Home Systems Protection Coverage

Home Systems Protection, an enhancement to Safety's Homeowners Policy, offers homeowners assistance in the event of a system breakdown. Homeowners depend on the comfort, convenience and security that their home systems and equipment provide. Unfortunately, many homeowners assume they are protected by warranties or service con- tracts when heating, air conditioning, hot water or electrical systems fail. However, when protection is not provided, a breakdown can come as a costly surprise - several thousand dollars or more.
