What is Electrician Insurance?

Electricians are exposed to both common risks that many businesses face and dangers that are specific to working with electricity. Electrician insurance won’t prevent property from being damaged or someone from being injured, but it can help shield electricians in Vermont from some of the financial consequences that can follow covered incidents.

Electrician insurance policies are commercial insurance policies that have been uniquely crafted to meet the needs of electricians. Most policies are written as package policies that have several coverages within them, and electricians can usually adjust these coverages for their particular situation.

What Businesses in Vermont Need Electrical Contractor Insurance?

Most Vermont businesses that perform residential or commercial electrical work should have electrical contractor insurance in place. This often includes:

Electricians who work by themselves
Electricians who own a business and have employees
Electrical contractor companies
Electrical service companies

Anyone who’s unsure whether this form of insurance is right for them can get more information by speaking with an insurance agent who specializes in electrical contractor insurance. A specialized agent will have detailed knowledge of what protections a policy may provide, and they can make an informed recommendation regarding whether this or some other insurance is more appropriate.

What Coverages Does Electrical Contractor Insurance Offer?

As mentioned, most electrical contractor insurance policies come with multiple coverages so that they can protect against several risks. A few of the more commonly offered coverages include:

General Liability Coverage, which might insure against common accidents
Errors and Omissions Coverage, which might insure against work-related errors
Commercial Umbrella Coverage, which might provide extra liability coverage
Commercial Property Coverage, which might protect owned equipment and buildings
Inland Marine Coverage, which might protect equipment during transport
Commercial Auto Coverage, which might protect owned vehicles
Business Interruption Coverage, which might protect against certain losses of revenue

Do Electrical Contractors Insurance Policies Come with Workers Compensation?

Electrical contractors who hire employees generally are legally required by Vermont to carry workers compensation, and those who work solo as self-employed business owners might still want the coverage in case their health plan doesn’t cover a work-related injury.

While the coverage is frequently required or recommended, workers compensation isn’t always purchased within an electrical contractors policy. Instead, it’s sometimes gotten as a separate, stand-alone policy.

An insurance agent who’s familiar with electrical contractor policies can likely also help with workers compensation, and they’ll be able to determine the most logical way to purchase this coverage if it’s needed.

Mike Bancroft is simply an amazing agent. When my business got burglarized, I was so upset and didn't know what to do. I contacted Mike and he was very prompt in calling me back and he put my mind at ease. He made me feel so much better and handled all of the paperwork immediately. His customer service is top notch and I highly recommend him to be your insurance agent!

Our business was with the same trusted agent for over 20 years. Mike Bancroft offered to evaluate our policies and see if he could save us some money on both Workmen's Comp and general liability. He did, and in the process even moved us to better coverage. Mike also offers a superb quality of service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Mike Bancroft has been great to work with. He has assisted with my Business Auto, Tool Coverage, Homeowners and all other types of insurance needs. I wouldn't be surprised if they change their name to Paige, Campbell & Bancroft soon!

Extremely prompt, personable, and professional service! Despite only needing a workers' comp policy for one employee, Paige & Campbell was very receptive and ensured to shop my policy around to ensure I received a great price that was almost half of what another broker quoted me.

What Sorts of Incidents Are Covered by Electrician Policies?

Precisely what any one electrician policy covers is typically determined by that policy’s terms and conditions. Depending on a policy’s documentation, it might provide coverage for incidents like the following:

Specialized tools are stolen from a company facility or work site
An employee causes an auto accident while driving between work sites
A passerby is shocked when an employee makes a mistake while working
An employee’s mistake leads to a structural fire after work is completed

How Much Do Electrician Policies Cost?

Electrician policies’ premiums frequently vary because insurance companies consider many factors when setting rates. Generally speaking, however, these policies tend to be affordable. They’re almost certainly much more affordable than what a major claim might cost if no insurance is in place.
