It has now been two months since we were rocked by the 7.1 earthquake and we are
getting back to our regular day to day routines.As some of you would have experienced our work load has been extremely quiet due to the indecision as to what is going to happen to homes and home owners waiting on assessors. So we are now able to let you know what is going on with some of this.
EQC claims.
Some of you may have a damaged heat pump as a result of the earthquake or power failures due to the earthquake. EQC seem to have been good at paymentfor this work. Payment was made within a fortnight for our latest case. If any of you have a problem with your heat pump, no matter what the brand, we are able to help. With respect to the answers you get from EQC sometimes it pays to ring back and speak to another person. The number of staff employed by EQC has expanded to 700 from 22 so it is probable that some will be more helpful and knowledgable of their systems than others. The same could be said for insurance companies.
Replace Chimneys Damaged in the Canterbury Earthquake program.
You can apply to join this program if you are are a Master or Certified Builder or if you are a Registered Building Practitioner. We have a number of builders who have done this, so once they have been given the go-ahead we will be able to provide heat pumps for you as part of this program. Let us know if you are a builder who has registered so that we can send some work your way too. The home owner must have registered a claim with EQC before any work can commence.
We are still waiting for the confirmation of all the details. Nevertheless, we have been advised by EECA, who will be managing this program, that we should quote on the work directly to the home owner. If you would like to join our list of people who wish to be kept up to date with the details of this program then please ring us or send us an e-mail.
