What is the +5 Homeowners Electrical Protection
Plan?
The +5 Homeowners Electrical Protection Plan is a FREE special quality
protection program for residential wiring systems. It gives the original
home buyer 5 extra years of freedom from electrical wiring maintenance
costs. The protection extends above and beyond the builder's one-year
electrical wiring warranty and the additional year of protection provided
under the Home Owners Warranty (HOW) program offered by some builders.
Who
offers +5?
The +5 Homeowners electrical Protection Plan is available only through
contractors employing the qualified professional electricians of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local Union No. 702 and southern
Illinois area union electrical contractors affiliated with the IBEW.
Who
guarantees the +5 Program?
This program is backed by IBEW Local Union 702 and the Illinois Chapter
of NECA. The fiscal integrity and quality commitment of the participating
organizations provide secure protection to Southern Illinois area buyers
of electrical construction services.
What
is my potential liability?
The +5 Homeowners Electrical Protection Plan expressly decreases any liability
associated with participating home builders. The quality protection provided
by IBew Local Union No. 702 and affiliated contractors takes the home
builder out of the loop of responsibility after expiration of the original
electrical wiring warranty and provides a means for addressing any problems,
with no charge to you or your customers.
