You rely on complex and expensive systems to power and run your home, like central air condition systems, security systems, sound systems and more. This optional endorsement can be added to your Homeowners policy to include coverage for losses caused by mechanical and electrical system breakdowns. It also includes benefits like coverage to replace damaged equipment with a new unit that is more environmentally friendly or safer.
Notable home systems protection coverage features
Accidental Breakdown Coverage
Coverage limits of $100,000 (with a $500 deductible) and $500,000 (with a $1,000 deductible) are available to repair or replace your critical home systems if there is a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Improved-Efficiency Home Systems Replacements
We’ll pay up to 150% of the cost to replace damaged equipment with a new unit that is better for the environment, more energy efficient or safer following a covered loss.
Coverage for Additional Living Expenses
If your home becomes unlivable due to a covered loss, we’ll pay for you to stay in temporary housing that meets your standard of living.
Worldwide Home Systems Protection Coverage
Our coverage extends beyond the equipment installed on your property, offering protection for items like portable generators, laptops and other electrical equipment that travels with you.
Coverage When Damage Isn’t Visible
Proof of physical damage is commonly required in order for an equipment breakdown loss to be covered, but with increased use of smart home technology, homes are becoming more digital and the cause of failure is not always visible. Our coverage responds for microelectronic circuitry failures, even if damage cannot be seen.
The importance of generator maintenance
Having your generator serviced each year is an important step in making sure it's ready to use when you need it. One PURE member’s whole-home generator had to be replaced after its gasket blew out. A replacement engine for this exact model couldn’t be found, so we covered the cost of a new generator and its installation.
Losing heating during the winter
One PURE member and their family had to vacate their home for several days when their boiler overheated and cracked, leaving them without heat in the home. We paid nearly $10,000 to cover the cost of a high-efficiency replacement boiler and temporary housing for the members.
