Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

A homeowner alleges that recent panel work caused a small electrical fire. The general liability policy is generally intended to respond to allegations of this nature in the event of a covered claim.
During a service call, an electrician's drill damages a piece of customer equipment. General liability is intended to address allegations of this type.

Frequently asked questions

Does electrician insurance cover damage to wiring I didn't install?

Coverage typically responds to damage you caused during your work. Pre-existing wiring conditions and damage from prior installers may be excluded depending on policy form.

What about solar installation?

Solar work is sometimes classified separately. Disclose it on the application — some carriers exclude solar entirely; others require a specific class code.
