Hello, I’m _________ from Hartford Steam Boiler – you may know us as HSB.

With 150 years of industry leadership, Hartford Steam Boiler sets the standard in equipment breakdown insurance. 

And at HSB, helping customers drives all that we do.

Now, HSB has partnered with your company to bring Home Systems Protection to your insureds.  

Since this is an additional coverage provided to your policyholders, it’s important that you …

  • Understand the coverage
  • Can identify potential equipment breakdown claims
  • Know the process for reporting claims into HSB, and
  • Understand what to expect during the claims process, and are familiar with the communications that will reach your policyholder.

In this presentation, I’ll first provide an overview of our Home Systems Protection coverage.

I’ll then review the basic elements of the policy, and discuss the claim process.  

Lastly, I’ll walk you through a few scenarios that illustrate some of the most common claims.
