The Spectrum of Electrician Insurance

Your business structure, size, and clientele will help determine your commercial insurance policy. In general, we insure two main categories of electrical professionals:

Independent Contractors

These are often experts who handle more personalized jobs and engage frequently with homeowners. These jobs may be on the smaller scale, making your insurance policy more straightforward, but you usually have a larger portfolio of individual customers, which makes it critical you’re insured correctly.

Commercial Contractors

Usually composed of employees or subcontractors, this business model typically serves mid to large commercial customers. For example, a new-build developer might contract your business to handle all electrical installations. The bigger the job, the more money you can lose, and the greater need for extensive coverage.

Current Risks

You’re not just working with the public; you’re often entering and handling
important parts of peoples' homes and businesses. The nature of your job is
physically dangerous, as you directly engage with electrical power. Even when
the job is done, you're still responsible for the work and services you provided.

You climb into a homeowner’s attic to reach and install a new electrical outlet. While in the attic, your foot falls through the ceiling! Not only did this damage your leg and the house, but the drywall flew into your client’s eye. A BOP could help provide financial backing to repair the property, pay your medical costs, replace lost tools, and cover potential 3rd party legal fees.
