Providing Value to Policyholders
“We’re excited to be partnering with Roost to provide our qualifying Idaho policyholders with their innovative smart water leak and freeze detectors,” comments Doug Wertman, VP, Underwriting and Product Development, Grange Insurance Association. “Providing real value to our policyholders is a top priority, so working with Roost is a great fit for us.”
The Roost Smart Water Leak and Freeze Detectors are designed to sense water leaks as well as humidity and freezing temperature situations. Each detector can be easily located in places around the home most prone to water leaks such as under kitchen sinks, hot water heaters, toilets and various appliances. It then delivers smartphone alerts via the GIA – Home Alert app to help minimize water damage and loss.
“We are very pleased to be working with Grange Insurance Association to deliver smart sensors to their policyholders,” comments Roel Peeters, Roost CEO and Co-Founder. “We are looking forward to seeing the Roost solution help mitigate Grange Insurance Association’s water leak claim costs and improve customer retention.”
