Up to $17,000 in combined repair coverage.
Preferred Energy Essentials Protection combines our Preferred Interior Electric Line, Complete Gas Line and Surge Protection Plans into a convenient, money-saving bundle for homeowners, with NO service fees!
Because standard homeowners insurance policies may not cover the repair of a home’s natural gas lines and electric lines for repairs needed due to ordinary wear and tear, or repair/replacement of surge-damaged electronics and appliances, you could be faced with paying for repairs or replacements on your own. That’s why our Preferred Energy Essentials Plan is a great choice. With this Preferred Energy plan, you are entitled to an annual in-home inspection of your home’s exposed interior gas lines, shutoff valves and gas appliance connectors, including the connections at your heating system. Any leaking connectors found will be replaced as part of your home gas line protection coverage. (This inspection is upon your request and subject to schedule availability.)

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 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: Does this plan cover connectors to my outdoor gas grill or outdoor kitchen gas accessories?
A: Yes, it does. The plan will cover outdoor natural gas piping and the connectors to your outdoor grill, outdoor kitchen accessories and more.
Q: Can I get an inspection of the natural gas lines at my home?
A: Yes. The Complete Gas Line Protection Plan entitles you to a yearly natural gas line inspection in your home (upon your request and subject to schedule availability). As part of your coverage, leaking connectors will be replaced. Let us know when you’re ready to schedule your appointment.
Q: What does Surge Protection cover?
A: It provides reimbursement coverage for repair or replacement of your electronics and electric appliances that are inside your home and valued at $100 or more if they are damaged by an electrical surge.
Q: Is there a waiting period to file a claim?
A: The gas line portion of your coverage is effective immediately upon enrollment. The effective date and protection under the Preferred Interior Electric Line Protection and Surge Protection portions will be 30 days after your enrollment date. When your coverage is effective, you can just call us whenever you have a covered problem.

A: Lighting fixtures themselves are not covered with this plan. However, the wiring leading to them and standard switches or dimmers that control them are covered.
