Tag: Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors

Three questions to ask about your coverage

1. What could go wrong? For electrical contractors, it’s often property damage from wiring work, a client tripping over cords, and completed-work claims. Customers and GCs commonly ask for proof of GL before you start a job.

2. Do I need GL or a BOP? General liability handles third-party bodily injury, property damage and (for most classes) personal and advertising injury, with per-occurrence limits of $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M. A BOP adds property and business income protection. A BOP can protect office property and add contractor tool coverage.

3. Will my business qualify? Contractors: eligibility runs to $5M in revenue and 15 employees, and the appetite excludes general contractors, paper contractors, firms whose subcontractor costs top half of revenue, equipment rental to others and exterior work above three stories. Solar panel installation or repair is excluded for electricians. Coterie generally accepts businesses with up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, limited losses in the past five years and no prior cancellations. Startups and home-based businesses can qualify too.
