LABC Warranty insurance with MIDI cover gives you the convenience of structural, mechanical and electrical inherent defect cover in one policy.
Here are a few examples where MIDI would provide cover for inherent defects of mechanical and electrical systems:
A serious electrical fault caused a lift failure. The exact fault could not be identified which resulted in the replacement of the control panel and wiring.
An air conditioning unit consisting of one large external unit and twenty indoor units suddenly failed. An electrical fault was identified within the solenoid box and PCB controller. Repairs were made to get the air conditioning back operational.
Smoke emitting from a boiler room, was identified as failure of components within a sectional boiler. Two defects were identified (electrical failure of the PCB and failure of four tie bars). Both failures required repair.
