Winter Losses

The guide reviews the top four causes of loss, including water, high voltage surge, smoke and fire, and wear and tear. Know which components would most likely be affected by each of the perils and why the damages may occur.

Adjusters, learn about common boiler problems (including puffbacks) that may lead to claims and why it’s critical to assess equipment before settling.

Our 90-minute webinar explains all of these facets of HVAC heating systems in a straightforward, concise manner specifically designed to provide insurance adjusters with the information you need to know.

Understand common heating system components, real-life winter damage scenarios, and how adjusters can spot, assess & manage heating claims.

If you don’t know how gas furnaces work already, you don’t need to spend hours poring over a textbook to get the information you need as an insurance adjuster. This video explains it in a little over 90 seconds. 

Before settling a claim for the damaged furnace or boiler, find out if one of these 7 causes of furnace and boiler puffbacks triggered the incident.

Learn what a puffback is, why they occur in furnaces and boilers, what damage may look like, and how experts identify them and their root causes.

More than half of the HVAC system claims that adjusters assigned to HVACi had freezing conditions as the reported cause of loss and 14% listed water.

Some piping materials withstand freezing conditions better than others, though multiple kinds of tubing may be found in the same home, depending on the age and water usage of the structure.

Some materials tolerate the cold better than others, and your policyholders may be at risk for catastrophic losses if their pipes can’t withstand freezing temperatures.
