Prosumer Insurance

While sat through the CEF panto at Chelmsford yesterday, alot of talk a turning homeowners into generators with battery backup,  one thought came forth, and in the light of the recent potters bar bus fire, how will this affect my buildings and contents cover, currently a whopping £400 pa, could we be adding another zero to that in the panic to net zero in eight years time.

  • The CEF tech talk yesterday advised to fit battery storage in the garage,

    So it can be hit by a car?

    Wherever the storage battery is placed, there are considerations of:

    • fire/explosion risk (and if the area is in a location part of or attached to dwelling, and not regularly visited, the installation of interlinked fire detection and alarm recommended by BS 5839-6)
    • Temperature
    • Mechanical impact/damage
    • Suitability for weight and mounting of products
    • Accessibility for maintenance, repair and decommissioning (weight of components).
    • etc.
