PROPANE INDUSTRY LEADER, FERRELLGAS, SELECTS CROSS COUNTRY HOME SERVICES

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. - October 5, 2007 – Cross Country Home Services (CCHS), the country’s leading provider of home warranties, home service plans and homeowner emergency assistance, was selected by Ferrellgas, the nation’s leading propane company, to offer its clients an inside gas and electric line protection plan. Now available to Ferrellgas customers, Inside Electric LineProtect and Inside Gas LineProtect cover the repair or replacement of electrical wiring and propane gas supply lines inside the home.

"We are pleased Ferrellgas selected CCHS to provide a gas and electric line program to their customers," said Jeff Barnes, Director, Utility Group, CCHS. "Our goal is to continually find new ways to deliver increased customer loyalty and provide real value for our clients."

Until the need arises, customers are often unaware that the repair or replacement of electrical system components and propane gas supply lines can be costly. CCHS’ Inside Electric LineProtect and Inside Gas LineProtect protection plans provide a simple, seamless process for managing the inconvenience of service line repairs - even paying for the repair cost.

"Many of our customers are unprepared for these types of home maintenance needs. By partnering with Cross Country we can provide these services at a reduced cost and can rest assured that our customers will receive impeccable service in the process," said Tony Dale, Vice President of Business Development, Ferrellgas.

Inside Electric LineProtect and Inside Gas Line Protect services will be available to Ferrellgas’ customers in the fall of 2007.
