What Is HVAC Business Insurance?

HVAC Contractor Insurance is a carefully designed insurance bundle for professional technicians working with the repair, maintenance, or installation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) hardware. The foundation of this business insurance is in commercial general liability insurance, but it can also be expanded to include additional coverage.  

Here’s what you can bundle in a customized HVAC contractor insurance.

Commercial General Liability Insurance

HVAC contractors should ensure the safety of third-party individuals and prevent third-party property damage while working or after the project. This can be challenging given that HVAC systems are usually embedded into a home or building, meaning projects need to be completed with clients and other third-party individuals present as safety risks. Furthermore, accidents and unit malfunctions can lead to gradual or sudden property damage or pollution.

Incorporating commercial general liability coverage in your personalized HVAC contractor insurance bundle protects you from: 

• Third-party injuries and property damage caused during the HVAC  repair, maintenance, or installation or due to issues in the unit itself
• Third-party injuries that occur within your business premises(i.e. accidents that can happen to clients when they come to your office)
• Advertising or reputational injuries (libel, slander, or copyright infringement).

Pollution Liability Insurance

Services involving HVAC systems are open to pollution liability risks. For example, contamination in the unit can result in respiratory complaints, including mould growth or the spread of legionella bacteria. These things are covered in your pollution liability insurance.

Commercial Auto Insurance

HVAC contractors with a fleet of service vehicles should have commercial auto insurance. This coverage protects your business from medical, repair, replacement, and legal costs in the following scenarios: 

• Bodily injuries caused by your commercial vehicles
• Property damage caused by your commercial vehicles
• Theft or vandalism inflicted on your commercial vehicles

Workers’ Compensation/Personal Coverage

It’s no surprise that HVAC specialists are faced with numerous risks in their daily operations. Injuries and health problems can occur from lifting heavy items, working inside a property’s ductwork, electrocution from wirings, and working in fall hazard areas. 

Worker’s compensation offers the following benefits:

• The ongoing treatment costs due to a work-related injury
• Lost wages during recovery, if injured or became ill while on duty
• Disability and death benefits
• Funeral expenses

Who Can Benefit From HVAC Contractor Insurance?

HVAC contractors, both big and small, can greatly benefit from having HVAC contractor insurance. Whether you specialize in residential or commercial heating and cooling systems, you and your highly trained technicians can be protected from any safety risks your industry comes with. It’s also part of an excellent risk management strategy to insure physical assets to shield your business from financial losses in case of natural disasters and accidents.
