Home Systems Protection for Your Farm Dwelling
Imagine how disruptive it would be for your heating system to fail in the dead of winter or your water heater to stop working, leaving you cold and without hot water for showers. Home system breakdowns can happen in any household, even with regular maintenance.
Home systems protection can be a lifesaver in such situations, covering the cost of repairing or replacing essential home systems due to mechanical or electrical breakdown. This coverage provides financial security and peace of mind, knowing that unexpected breakdowns won’t derail your budget or disrupt your daily life.
What is Home Systems Protection?
Home systems protection is an affordable coverage that provides protection for home systems that may not be covered by your standard farm insurance policy. If a home system suddenly fails due to an electrical or mechanical breakdown, this coverage can help pay for the repairs or necessary replacement. Covered dwelling systems generally include units owned by you that generate, transmit, or utilize energy.
Home systems covered by this endorsement typically include:
- Air conditioning and heating systems
- Appliances
- Computers, tablets, and smartphones
- Control panels
- Electrical garage door openers/gates
- Electrical panels and backup generators
- Elevators and chair lifts
- Fire and security systems
- Health monitoring systems
- Home exercise equipment
- Home theater and audio systems
- Pool and hot tub equipment/filtration systems
- Shop equipment not being used for business
- Water heaters
- Water treatment and filtration equipment
- Well pumps
Benefits of Home Systems Protection
Home systems protection offers comprehensive coverage and financial security for your farm dwelling. This endorsement can help alleviate the financial strain of unexpected breakdowns, ensuring peace of mind. It may also include coverage for food spoilage, pollutant clean-up, and additional living expenses that incur as a direct result of a home system breakdown. Coverage may still apply even if the system isn’t located on the insured property at the time of the breakdown.
What’s not covered by Home Systems Protection?
Home systems protection provides coverage specifically for electrical and mechanical breakdowns. It does not cover damage caused by old age or general wear and tear. Your standard farm insurance coverage typically includes other causes of loss, such as lightning, wind, fire, theft, and vandalism.
