Econet Controls and Ohio Mutual Insurance Group Announce Strategic Partnership to Enhance Home Protection
Clearwater, Florida, – Econet Controls, a leading provider of innovative water leak detection and prevention solutions, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Bucyrus, Ohio-based Ohio Mutual Insurance Company, which currently operates in 8 states in the Midwest and New England. This collaboration aims to revolutionize water damage costs for Ohio Mutual members through the integration of Econet's cutting-edge leak detection and water shut-off device – the Bulldog.
Econet Controls specializes in developing advanced technology solutions that safeguard homes and properties from water damage. Its flagship product, a leak detection and water shut-off device called the Bulldog, offers unparalleled convenience and peace of mind to homeowners. Unlike traditional systems, the Bulldog requires no plumber, Wi-Fi, or smart home infrastructure for installation. With just a simple screwdriver, homeowners can easily install the device and protect their property from costly and stressful water damage.
“At Ohio Mutual, we are always looking for ways to improve our members’ experience,” said Mendi Riddle, Vice President of Sales for Ohio Mutual Insurance Group. “We’ve assembled a portfolio of innovative products and services we call ‘MemberPlus’ that is designed to offer our members peace of mind ahead of time by helping them mitigate common risks. Water damage to your home is a costly and disruptive experience, so any effort to avoid or mitigate damage is of tremendous value and importance to our members.”
Riddle added: “We invested a significant effort to locate the best water mitigation device for our members. The Bulldog from Econet Controls is easy to install, is high quality, and it really works. We negotiated deep discounts on behalf of our members to offer them the best value possible, and are excited to offer this great new tool to as many members as possible.”
"This partnership with Ohio Mutual marks a pivotal moment for Econet Controls as we continue our mission to revolutionize water leak detection and damage prevention," said Brandon Allen, President of Econet Controls. "It’s a win-win relationship: Ohio Mutual’s members get access to a market-leading leak detection and damage prevention solution at a great price, and Ohio Mutual has the opportunity to see water damage claims reduced, which benefits both the company and its members. Water damage is not typically a small claim, and even if you have insurance, having a leak is a major nightmare for any homeowner and can end up costing a lot in terms of lost memories or irreplaceable items and direct reconstruction costs, not to mention the inconvenience of having to move out of your home or live in a construction zone for weeks or even months."
The partnership between Econet Controls and Ohio Mutual underscores a shared commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and proactive risk management.
