What is Equipment Breakdown Coverage?

Equipment Breakdown coverage is available through your Homeowners Insurance Policy. Whether you are a renter or a high-value homeowner, we have your equipment breakdown exposures covered.
“If it uses electric power, it is most likely subject to equipment breakdown.” Often this equipment requires sophisticated diagnostic tools and skilled technicians to oversee a potential repair. Equipment Breakdown coverage protects you against unexpected repair or replacement costs due to an electrical, mechanical or pressure systems breakdown. Best of all, this additional coverage follows the terms and conditions of your insurance policy. Off-premises coverage is now included. Coverage was previously limited to “Residence Premise” and now we’ve extended coverage for property that is away from the described premises.

It covers what most homeowners insurance excludes.

Most homeowners policies don’t cover the cost of repairing or replacing essential equipment in your home when it breaks down. Extended warranties? They’re often expensive, hard to manage and usually cover just one piece of equipment. But Homeowners Equipment Breakdown Insurance offers a simple, comprehensive and affordable solution that covers what most homeowners policies exclude.

All your personal property and important systems are protected, even if you are away from your home.
