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

We have developed the Master Electricians insurance package in conjunction with insurers to cover a variety of risks and exposures that electricians often face.

This includes policies such as: 

Public liability and statutory liability are important policies for every business in New Zealand – including electricians. 

Public liability can cover claims from third parties for property damage or physical injury that’s caused by your business activities. 

Statutory liability helps to cover fines or penalties when you unintentionally breach certain statutes. This cover includes associated defence costs. 

As an electrician, you may provide professional advice to your clients. As such, professional indemnity insurance is highly recommended. 

Professional indemnity  covers you and your business against claims for third-party financial loss due to your negligent advice or a breach of professional duty. 

This policy can also cover costs related to defending or managing these claims against your business. 

These insurance policies may not cover certain situations, such as:

  • Excess (the uninsured amount that you need to pay in the event of a claim) 

  • Wear and tear

  • Mechanical failure

  • High risk locations (including timber mills, mines and airports).
