::Product Description::
Whether your home is older or newer, problems with your natural gas lines inside/outside of your home, or your interior electric lines are likely not issues covered by your standard homeowners’ insurance policy. To get things back to normal, you could be left paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars out of your own pocket for repairs. That’s what makes enrolling in our Complete Gas & Preferred Interior Electric Line Protection Bundle such an easy choice. See details below.

FAQs
::Tab 2 Content::
Q: What should I do if I smell natural gas?
A: Leave immediately if you smell gas in your home. Do not operate anything that could cause a spark — including lights, cell phones, flashlights and appliances. Get to a safe location outside your home and then call 911 and your local gas utility. Wait for a crew to check on the source of the odor and make the area safe before returning.
Q: What does this bundle package cover?
A: With this package, you’ll have repair coverage for the natural gas lines that you own, both inside and outside your home, and for the water service line that brings water from the utility main to your home. (Lines that are in or under a home’s foundation or slab are not included.) The coverage includes general wiring, standard wall outlets (including GFCI), standard wall switches, standard dimmers, circuit breakers, breaker panels, doorbells, and even thermostat wiring and intercom wiring. For more details, please see the .
Q: How does the gas line inspection work?
A: The Complete Gas Line Protection portion of this bundle includes an annual in-home safety inspection of exposed interior gas lines, shutoff valves and connectors.

A professional will come to your home to perform the inspection.
Q: Will electric line problems in my garage be covered?
A: Yes, if you have an attached garage the electric lines are covered. Electric lines in detached garages are not covered.
