City of Hamilton passes $3 million mark in homeowner savings through Service Line Warranties of Canada partnership

HAMILTON, ON - Since the City of Hamilton began its partnership with Service Line Warranties of Canada (SLWC), $3 million in home repairs have been completed for Hamilton homeowners with SLWC service plans. These are repairs that homeowners otherwise would have had to pay for out-of-pocket without a coverage plan.

The no-deductible, affordable plans offer homeowners reliable access to local, trusted, certified repair contractors who can quickly complete repairs, freeing homeowners from the financial burden and inconvenience that comes with home emergencies. Hamilton homeowners have access to repair plans that cover exterior water and sewer service lines, as well as interior plumbing and drainage systems. Plans start at just $6.00 a month.

Quick Facts

• Since 2014, SLWC-approved local contractors have completed almost 7,000 repair jobs for Hamilton homeowners, which includes 1,400 jobs in the last twelve months alone.
• Over 6,300 Hamilton homeowners have purchased an optional service repair plan with many of them signing up for multiple coverage options.
• Post repair surveys show that Hamilton homeowners with an SLWC plan are very satisfied with their coverage and the repair process.

“Participating in the SLWC program has proven to be a successful option for Hamilton homeowners because it gives them a way to prepare for and handle these types of repairs without being left with a repair bill they can’t afford.”

- Mike Zegarac, General Manager of Finance and Corporate Services
