Q: How does Homewatch Medicine Hat work?
A: It's easy! Here's the process:
You call us and we schedule a meeting.
We meet you at the property to be checked and discuss the service package that best suits your needs.
We tour the property and sign a contract together.
You can go enjoy your time away, knowing we will check your home as agreed upon and send you updated reports so you don't worry about your property.
Q: I have a security system and/or cameras installed. Why do I still need Homewatch Medicine Hat?
A: Every home insurance policy has a vacancy clause, which states that in order for a damage claim to be valid, the property must be regularly checked while unoccupied. While a security system is great, it does Not fulfill this requirement. Without regular physical checks, insurance companies may Deny a damage claim, leaving you on the hook to pay Tens or Hundreds of thousands of $$ in damage.
Q: Can I have my neighbour or friends check my home instead?
A: While it's great to have a friend check your home, it's important to consider whether they're actually checking it as frequently as agreed upon, and keeping a professional log of each visit with a time stamp to prove they were there. Most friends or neighbours do not do this.
Q: My adult children check my home while I'm away. Is that sufficient?
A: It's great to have the support of your adult children, but it's important to consider whether they are willing and able to add this task to their already busy lives. It is also very unlikely they keep a professional log of their visits.
Q: Will Homewatch Medicine Hat help prevent a potential break-in?
A: Yes! Criminals often look for signs a home is unoccupied and unprotected, such as flyers left out, no footprints or tire tracks in the snow, and no changes in lighting. Homewatch Medicine Hat can help prevent these types of clues and make your home a less-appealing target for a break-in.
Q: Homewatch Medicine Hat seems expensive. Do I really need this service?
A: While you technically don't "need" Homewatch Medicine Hat, it provides an extra layer of protection for your home. Consider the cost of a denied insurance claim, which could potentially be tens of thousands of dollars, versus a few hundred dollars for Homewatch Medicine Hat. Additionally, a disaster can cause significant stress, so it's important to consider the value of peace of mind.
