Electricians insurance

We can connect you with competitive insurance for electricians that helps protect your business.

What insurance should I consider as an electrician?

Accidents can shock even the most experienced electricians. If you damage a circuit and cause a fire, you could be liable for property damage and legal fees.

That’s why we strongly recommend public and product liability covers for electricians. (And some states legally require you to have public liability insurance before you can start working.)

Stay switched on and help protect your business with insurance arranged by Marsh.

When you compare different policies, price will understandably play a large role. However, it shouldn’t be the only factor you consider.

Why? Insurance providers often calculate a policy’s premium based on the risks they take on. By having more exclusions, they can reduce their risk – and offer a cheaper premium.

But as a consequence, you could be left with a policy that doesn’t deliver when your business needs it most.

To provide quality services, you need to prepare your tools and your job site before you start work. Similarly, you should also prepare your business for risks with the appropriate policy.

Be sure to review your product disclosure statement to check the cover meets your requirements.

Any questions? Our Trades team is here and happy to help.

It depends on how frequently your business changes.

Major changes – such as business growth, greater work complexity or expanded services – should always prompt an insurance review.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend you review your policy every year to ensure your business is covered for its current risk exposures.

  • Certificate of currency
