What Is Electrician Insurance?

Electrical work, even when it’s done by experienced hands, comes with inherent risks and dangers. An error can result in property damage, injury and/or death, and this doesn’t even take into account the property losses that a business can face. Electrician insurance policies help protect electrical contractors and electricians working in Massachusetts from many of the potential perils they face.

What Massachusetts Businesses Is an Electrician Policy Right For?

Most businesses in Massachusetts that work with electrical currents should have some electrician policy in place. This includes (but may not be limited to):

Electrical contractors
Electricians
Electrical service companies

Moreover, these businesses usually need coverage regardless of their legal structure. Incorporating might provide some legal protection, but the protection afforded by incorporation is generally different from what’s offered by an electrician policy’s insurance coverages.

TESTIMONIALS

Customers Love Us

When I called the staff at Paul T. Murphy Insurance, they explained how auto reform would allow me to increase coverage and save money at the same time. I moved my home and umbrella insurance to my current auto carrier and saved over $350. In July 2008 when my auto insurance renews with Safety Insurance, I will save another $300 just for having my auto and home insurance with the same company. The staff at Paul T Murphy Insurance Agency really understands the new Massachusetts reform and how to pass savings and additional coverage to their clients.

After many years of doing business with the Paul T. Murphy Insurance Agency, I am thrilled to learn of this relationship with Northrup to service the Lynnfield area. I have trusted both my personal and business policies with Paul and have never received less than the best of service. I like the face that they service as professionals but treat you like a friend. Recently during a complicated Workers Comp claim, Paul showed up to walk me through what I thought would be a mess of paperwork and confusion – the personalized service I receive spoke volumes. I have never gotten service like that from anyone else. I also like the fact that they are always ready to save me money without ever compromising my coverage.

One of the best business and personal decisions I ever made was to collaborate with Paul Murphy Insurance Company for our families insurance needs. Starting with our business policies, then eventually all of our personal policies, we have slowly transitioned all to be managed by PMI. Many companies loosely tout that they treat you as one of the family; PMI proves it in their actions. We are glad we are part of their family.

What Coverages Do Electrician Policies Afford?

The exact coverages included in electrician policies can vary, but there are some common coverages that many policies make available as standard or optional protections. Policies often offer:

General Liability Coverage, which may protect against lawsuits related to common accidents
Errors and Omissions Coverage, which may protect against suits related to work errors
Commercial Umbrella Coverage, which may provide additional liability protection
Commercial Property Coverage, which may protect owned buildings and equipment
Inland Marine Coverage, which may protect equipment while it’s being transported
Commercial Auto Coverage, which may protect owned vehicles

Electricians can get help finding the coverages that make sense for their situation by talking with an insurance agent who specializes in these policies. A specialized agent will be familiar with the many coverage options that are available, and they’ll know what sorts of businesses can benefit from each.

Is Workers Compensation Included in Electrician Policies?

While some businesses in the field need workers compensation coverage for workers they employ, this coverage isn’t included in many electrician policies. Instead, it’s normally purchased separately through a stand-alone policy. Most insurance agents who assist with electrician policies can also help with workers compensation policies.

What Types of Claims Do Electrician Policies Cover?

Depending on an electrician policy’s terms, conditions and exclusions, it might cover a range of potential incidents. Some examples of what a policy might cover include:

A thief steals electrical tools from a job site
An employee is in an accident while driving between job sites
A bystander is shocked as a result of an employee mistake
A fire starts as a result of an employee mistake

How Are Electrician Policies’ Premiums Determined?

Insurance companies look at many factors when setting rates for electrician policies. A business’ location, service area, scope of electrical work and the equipment used can all influence premiums, as can many other factors.

An independent insurance agent can help businesses find out what a policy would cost them. Independent agents aren’t linked with any one insurer, so they can compare quotes from several different companies and show business owners the best available options.
