What insurance should I consider as an electrician?

Accidents can shock even the most experienced electricians. If you damage a circuit and cause a fire, you could be liable for property damage and legal fees. 

That’s why we strongly recommend public and statutory liability covers for electricians.

Stay switched on and help protect your business with insurance arranged by Marsh.

Frequently asked questions

You might consider several insurance solutions – including: 

Your insurance needs may differ depending on the type of activities you and your employees carry out. 

Our Trades team can work with you to understand your risk exposure – and design a solution just for you.

When you compare different policies, price will understandably play a large role. However, it shouldn’t be the only factor you consider.

Why? Insurance providers often calculate a policy’s premium based on the risks they take on. By having more exclusions, they can reduce their risk – and offer a cheaper premium.

But as a consequence, you could be left with a policy that doesn’t deliver when your business needs it most.

To provide quality services, you need to prepare your tools and your job site before you start work. Similarly, you should also prepare your business for risks with the appropriate policy.

Be sure to review your product disclosure statement to check the cover meets your requirements. 

Any questions? Our Trades team is here and happy to help.

It depends on how frequently your business changes. 

Major changes – such as business growth, greater work complexity or expanded services – should always prompt an insurance review.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend you review your policy every year to ensure your business is covered for its current risk exposures.

If you're an existing customer, please reach out to our team. They can provide you with your:

  • Certificate of currency

  • Policy wording

  • Tax invoice.

A certificate of currency is proof that you hold a current insurance policy.   

Please contact us once you have accepted your policy and we will arrange for a certificate of currency to be sent to you from your insurer.
