Protection Services for utility lines - Pittsburgh

[Megan Hirlehey]

Hi BP community,

Has anyone in the Pittsburgh area, specifically serviced by People's Gas, Duq Light or PAWC purchased one of those utility line protection plans and actually had to file a claim? Was it worth it? Would you recommend buying those services for rental and/or personal residences (or neither)? I only know one person who used one, it was years ago, when the gas company was under a different name, and he had a horrible experience and said he'd never do it again, but that's only one very outdated reference. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Megan

Only one experience with Peoples and it was a good experience. Line broke in the dead of winter last year.  They came out in the middle of the knight, dug up my yard and fixed the problem in a matter of hours. Never had a problem with any or my rentals yet !!!

To your success
