We want to help you understand the difference between homeowners insurance and home protection plans.

Leaking or clogged water and drain lines, along with faulty shutoff valves, can create significant challenges. Finding a licensed plumber for repairs can often be expensive, time-consuming, and stressful. With the Preferred Plumbing Protection Plan, you can simply call our customer service team to initiate the repair process effortlessly.

NIPSCO Service Partnersâ"¢* provides homeowners with peace of mind through our comprehensive home protection plans. Our coverage includes repairs often excluded from standard homeowners insurance, all backed by a network of skilled service providers. We offer various options to help manage unexpected expenses and facilitate repairs and maintenance.
The Preferred Plumbing Protection Plan is an affordable way to protect your home's essential plumbing system. It covers the removal of clogs from your interior drainage system, as well as repairs to leaks or breaks in exposed interior water supply and drain lines and any leaking or broken shut-off valves for fixtures or appliances. For a complete list of covered repairs, please refer to our Customer Agreement.
Standard homeowners insurance often excludes plumbing repairs, leaving you to handle necessary fixes on your own. By enrolling in the Preferred Plumbing Protection Plan, you gain coverage that standard homeowners insurance typically does not provide.

We take care of everything, from finding a contractor to managing the repair process, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

If you decide you no longer want to maintain your protection with us, you can call 855-800-5195 any time, day or night, and select the option to cancel your protection. When you are connected to one of our agents, tell them that you wish to cancel your protection.

Through your online account: There a few simple steps to follow if cancelling your protection online:
If you cancel your protection within the first 30 days after your new program enrollment was processed, you will be entitled to a full refund of all program fees you have paid. This refund will be issued within 30 days of cancellation.
For all other customers:
If you are paying monthly for your protection, your program cancellation will take effect at the end of your monthly billing cycle and you will not receive money back. Protection under your contract will continue through the end of your monthly billing cycle, regardless of when you cancel within the cycle.
If you are paying annually for your protection, your program cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing month within your annual term, and you will receive a refund for the remainder of your annual term. Your refund will be credited to the same payment method you used to make your annual payment.
If you pay your NIPSCO Service Partners charges through your utility company's monthly bill and wish to cancel your protection, let us know of your cancellation request by phone or in your online account with us (see specifics above). Once we process your cancellation request, we will notify your utility company that we are no longer requesting payment from them for your cancelled protection. Depending on how NIPSCO Service Partners and your utility company's billing cycles align and whether your utility company bills for services after they are provided, a charge may still appear on your next one to two utility bills. Rest assured that once we have processed your cancellation request, we will not ask your utility for any additional payments for your protection, and you will only be charged for months you received protection.
Note: If you close your utility account, or if you do not pay your utility bill in full each month, your coverage with us may be canceled as a result.
After your protection cancellation request is processed, the cancellation will take effect at the end of your current monthly NIPSCO Service Partners billing cycle. Until that date, your protection will remain active and you will be eligible to make a claim if needed.
Yes. If you change your mind and want to re-enroll in protection, just let us know. Depending on your selected program(s), you may need to wait 30 days for your new protection to become effective, and pre-existing conditions are not covered.
If you do not have an automatic payment method on file, or if your account is not set to automatically renew, you may receive a notice requesting you to renew your coverage for another year. Please respond to your notice to renew your coverage. Not responding will result in your coverage being canceled.
If you received a piece of mail, email, or postcard indicating you had a failed payment, it is because we were unable to successfully process your payment using the method we have on file. To avoid a lapse in your coverage, please contact us and set up another payment method.
