Ensure the Guarantee on Your Solar Home Improvement is Insurance Protected.
Although a solar water heating system is one of the safest forms
of financial investment, there is one pitfall that is often overlooked - A
WORTHLESS GUARANTEE.
most contractors issue a guarantee upon the work they have
carried out, the benefits of which are realised should you have reason to claim
for faulty workmanship or materials.
However....
Thousand of contractors, large and small, cease to trade each
year, be it for reasons of finance, ill health or even a lottery win!
Guarantee periods can stretch to as long as 10 years and much
can happen to any business in that time, regardless of current stature. This
particularly true in today's volatile business environment.
If your chosen solar heating system installation contractor were
to cease trading you could be left with faulty goods, a guarantee of absolutely
no value and a potential bill of THOUSANDS of pounds to rectify your
problems.
HomePro Insurance Backed Guarantees
protecting your home solar investment.
Eliminate the risk
The solution to this nagging fear is found with the HomePro Insurance
Backed Guarantee which matches the terms of the contractor's original guarantee*
should they no longer be in a position to honour a claim you may have to make.
Case Study: Mr Cola recently
discovered the contractor that had installed his hardwood conservatory had
ceased trading when he attempted to ask them to rectify a problem with the
framework. Luckily the contractor had provided a HomePro Insurance Backed
Guarantee and Mr Cola received £8000 for a replacement conservatory.
