Complex jobs and complex risks

You provide one of the most essential services to virtually all construction projects. You love the integral role you play in all jobs — big and small, residential and commercial. However, working with wires, appliances, and complex equipment is very difficult and leaves plenty of room for errors or accidents to occur. 

Running an electrical services business comes with inherent risks to personal safety and to client property. To protect yourself, your business, and your clients, it’s important to have a comprehensive electrical contractors’ insurance policy that provides the right level of protection. 

  • Operate a business with a physical location.

  • Have assets, like inventory or equipment, that can be stolen or damaged.

  • Risk customer injury or property damage due to your operations.

Accidents that could threaten your electrical contractor business

Without proper electrical contractors’ insurance, claims can take a considerable toll on the financial viability of your business. Here are just a few examples of accidents that could threaten your business:

  • Customer property damage: if you get hired to wire an office remodel and inadvertently damage the lobby with your equipment, the business owner could file a claim against you. Without electrical contractors’ insurance, you would pay for the damage out of pocket.

  • Driving to a customer’s site: if you run a red light and cause an accident while rushing to get to the next job site, auto-related claims will affect your business.

  • Workplace injuries: an employee could experience a workplace injury, for example, a fall from a ladder, and file a claim for workers’ compensation.

  • Save money. Your property and liability risks are bound in a single package with premiums that are typically less expensive than purchasing and renewing each coverage individually.

  • For example, just like when you order a meal at a fastfood restaurant, when you buy the meal deal, it's cheaper than if you buy your sandwich, drink, and fries individually.

  • Simplifies the insurance process and makes it easier for you to manage multiple coverages in one business owner’s policy.

  • It’s invaluable to have the peace of mind that you are properly protected through a range of coverages included in one business owner’s policy so you can focus on growing your business.
