What happens when a costly piece of equipment breaks down? Who pays to repair or replace the piece of equipment? Most of us don’t budget for these types of expenses and many of us believe our homeowners insurance would pay for this. But the truth is… most homeowner’s policies do not cover the breakdown of equipment.
Some insurance companies are now offering Equipment Breakdown Coverage. This coverage will protect you against unexpected repair or replacement costs due to a mechanical, electrical, or pressurized system breakdown.
Equipment Breakdown Coverage can be added to your homeowner’s policy on average as low as $25 a year! It’s an affordable alternative to costly product and home warranty plans.
