Am I covered for fusion or electrical motor burnout?

If you have Home Building, Home Contents or Home Building and Contents, you can choose to cover the burnout of your electric motors (as part of your Building and/or Contents) that are up to 15 years old, so long as they are not used in your business or covered by a warranty.

If you have Home Buildings Plus or Home Contents Plus insurance, electrical motor burnout is automatically included.

Important note for customers in NSW, Queensland, Tasmania and the ACT:

If your policy was

  • First purchased before 21 April 2024 and not yet renewed
  • Last renewed before 1 July 2024

your cover will be different. Call us on 132 132.

To learn more about what you're covered for, read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) on our policy booklets page.

If you run a business from home, let us know so we can help you choose your cover.

Depending on what you use for your home business, some contents may not be covered under our Building and Contents policies. For example, sometimes a Home Contents or a combined Home Building and Contents Insurance policy may be a suitable option for insuring home office equipment that you use to run your business from home. However, this won’t cover stock used by your business.

Keep in mind, under a Home Contents or combined Home Building and Contents policy, legal liability for your business will not be covered, unless the business involves renting your home for domestic use.
