Building Future-Proof Homes Doesn't Have to be Risky Business

Posted by Premier Guarantee on 8th August 2022 -

As new standards for energy efficiency come into force and electric vehicle charging points become mandatory, the amount of mechanical and electrical installations in new homes is increasing.

Updates to building regulations covering fuel and power conservation, ventilation, overheating and EV chargers make new demands of builders and developers to create homes that take significant steps towards 2025’s Future Homes Standard and its ban on fossil fuel heating.

Premier Guarantee supports homebuilders who construct new homes and buildings that minimise carbon footprints and reduce energy needs, in turn making them more affordable for residents and users to run.

Innovation can be risky. That is why our structural warranty policies include additional cover as standard for a vast range of mechanical and electrical services.

Premier Guarantee customers can cover defect risks relating to mechanical and electrical services through our Machinery Inherent Defects Insurance (MIDI).

How does it work?
