air conditioning engineer insurance intro image

Installing any kind of domestic or commercial air conditioning system will carry a certain element of risk, as you’re working with building structures and electrics. Make a mistake and the consequences could be very costly.

Any damage caused to the customer’s property or, even worse, any injury caused to the customer, could result in you facing a substantial claim for damages and legal bills if you are not adequately insured.

What is air conditioning installers insurance?

Air conditioning installers insurance is a range of different types of cover – led by public liability insurance – that provides protection for your business from compensation claims due to accidents or property damage.

 

Why do air conditioning installers need insurance?

When you’re installing air conditioning units, especially commercial systems, you’re working with power and cutting tools, working at height,  in cramped spaces, or working on building structures. So, it’s important to be prepared, and air conditioning installers insurance can help reduce the potential financial impact on your business in the event of a compensation claim if there is an accident or damage caused to the property, other than planned works required to fit the air conditioning system.

Examples of why air conditioning installers and air conditioning engineers need insurance include:

  • You’re working with sharp edged materials, power tools, and large pipework and ducting materials. All of these can potentially cause accidents, injuries, or be hazardous to your health. Personal accident insurance will cover you for a loss of earnings if you suffer an accidental injury or illness as a result of your work and need to make a claim.
  • You’re carrying your kit into your customer’s premises and you accidentally damage property in the process which requires repair. Public liability insurance will cover you for the cost of the claim to put the damage right again.

The cost of an annual premium varies depending on your type of cover and the level of cover you need. Our trades public liability insurance for air conditioning installers starts from £226.14* for £1million of annual cover, which we think represents real value for money.

As well as public liability insurance, we offer a range of insurance covers for your individual circumstances, including:

  • Personal accident insurance – covers you for accidents sustained in the course of your work and can pay a lump sum or regular payments to cover loss of earnings.
  • Employers’ liability insurance (EL) – is a legal requirement if you employ staff, with a minimum of £5 million of cover to protect your employees.
  • Tools insurance – available with our public liability insurance policy, provides cover from £1,000 to £5,000 for the replacement of your lost, damaged or stolen tools.
  • Good in transit insurance – provides cover for your goods against theft, loss or damage while they are being transported in your own vehicle, or on your behalf by a third-party carrier. The policy can cover theft of items whilst in transit; damage caused by an accident during transit; loss of items during transit; and damage caused to items during transit.
  • Plant insurance (PI) – we offer cover for both hired-in and owned plant equipment. Plant insurance can cover the costs incurred for ongoing lease hire for hired-in plant while the hired plant is being replaced, recovered or repaired, and can cover the cost of repairing or replacing owned plant following theft, loss or damage (accidental or malicious) to your equipment.
  • Contract works insurance – cover for costs incurred in having to re-do work that is part of a contract, including the cost of the tools, materials and the labour, should the existing work be destroyed by fire, flood, or theft.
  • Professional indemnity insurance (PI) – covers professionals who give advice, provide designs or other professional services to customers and covers allegations of negligent work.

The excess is the amount you pay towards a claim you make on your insurance policy. For example, if you make a claim for £1,000 for stolen tools and your excess is £200, then your payout will be £800.
