WATER DAMAGE

Water Damage
Meet Eddy!

D

id you know that water
damage is the number
one home insurance claim
in Canada? If only there
was a way to avoid water
damage to your home. But wait. There is!
Meet Eddy, the revolutionary smarthome technology that monitors your
home’s water usage around the clock
and protects your most valuable
asset from costly water damage.
Eddy’s whole home leak protection
solution is comprised of three great
products which work together to
ensure that no leak goes unnoticed:
the Eddy IQ Meter, Eddy H2O Sensors,
and the My Eddy Home App, each
of which play a role in protecting
your home from water damage.
The Eddy IQ Meter is the brains of the
operation. It monitors your home 24/7,
learns your usage patterns, identifies
variations in your water usage, and alerts
you with instant notifications when a
leak is detected. Once a notification is
received, you can remotely shut off your
water conveniently with your mobile

phone or from your desktop computer.
If you miss an alert, our Control Centre
will automatically shut off your water,
ensuring that the damage is under control
until you can arrive on the scene. One
of Eddy’s trusty representatives will put
you in touch with a preferred plumber
or service professional to help you
restore your home to its original state.
The Eddy H2O Sensors take the guess
work out of locating those pesky
leaks. Place these discreet sensors by
the main culprits of water damage:
water heaters, washing machines, dish
washers, sinks, and toilets. The H2O
Sensors silently monitor for leaks 24/7,
and when they are activated by water,
they communicate to the IQ Meter
and Home App where the leak is so you
aren’t left searching high and low.
When you download the My Eddy
Home App from Apple Store or
Google Play, you will be able to see
the following: real time water usage,
costs, and trends; comparisons of water
consumption; insight into peak water
usage days and hours; notifications of

leaks; and remote shut-off and shut-on
capabilities. And in an effort to help
homeowners conserve water, the Home
App encourages participation in weekly
and monthly water saving challenges.
Eddy’s leak protection technology
offers a whole home solution with
the goal of protecting your home and
increasing awareness. For a limited
time and exclusive to Knight Archer
customers, receive a free installation
of Eddy’s whole home leak protection
solution (valued at $450) and save
10% on your annual policy. +
