The Home Inspection Network™ launches new Inspection ProtectionPLUS warranty

Interior home warranty on every inspection, covering almost 20 major systems and appliances in the home.

TORONTO, April 16, 2013 /CNW/ - The Home Inspection Network™ announced today that it is now including an Inspection ProtectionPLUS premium warranty on every standard home inspection purchased through its network, including seller's, buyer's and existing home owner inspections.

This new warranty provides complimentary 60-day coverage, including approximately 20 major systems and appliances.  We believe no other home inspection company provides this level of quality assurance and protection for consumers, real estate agents and home inspectors.

"This is exactly the type of assurance people are looking for as part of their home inspection," said Phil West, President of Centract and The Home Inspection Network.  "It was developed in response to market feedback and we are excited to provide this superior level of protection, especially when people are making the potentially biggest financial decision in their lives."

The Inspection ProtectionPLUS warranty, designed exclusively for The Home Inspection Network, is a 60-day interior home warranty providing up to $15,000 combined coverage for repairs and / or replacement costs.  The Inspection ProtectionPLUS warranty is included with all home inspections from The Home Inspection Network and the 60-day coverage can be extended by the consumer for an additional premium.  It also protects the buyer from breakdowns that are not part of a typical home inspection; which therefore would not be identified in the process.

"We are committed to providing valuable products and services and working with high quality partners such as Aviva Elite, Ogilvy & Ogilvy Insurance and RESRx to deliver them," said Mr. West. "We are proud to bring this great warranty and added level of security to the Canadian home buyer."
