Florida Electrician & Electrical Contractor Insurance

Electrical contractors face risks other trades don't — wiring mistakes can start fires that surface months later, a wrong neutral can total a customer's electronics, and the people in the building on a service call are always your liability. We place the trade package with markets that actually write Florida electrical contractors: liability with completed-operations, business auto for the service vans, tools and equipment coverage, and workers compensation for the crews.

Licensed electrical contractors in Florida — operating under EC, ER, or specialty registrations and pulling permits through the state DBPR or municipal building departments — face a risk profile that pivots on whether the work is residential service, residential new construction, commercial wiring, or industrial. Florida First Insurance of Broward writes general liability, business auto, inland marine, and workers compensation for trade contractors with the carriers that take the 5190/5191 NCCI class codes.

The typical placement runs GL with completed-operations on a per-project and aggregate basis, business auto for vans and bucket trucks, inland marine for tools and equipment with a per-occurrence sublimit for theft from unattended vehicles, and workers compensation that splits between inside-wireman and electrical service classes. Additional-insured forms and primary-and-noncontributory wording get demanded constantly by GCs and we manage those endorsements.

Electrical contractors bind through Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach along the southeast; Collier and Lee in the southwest; Sarasota and Manatee on the Suncoast; Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco around Tampa Bay; Polk, Orange, and Seminole through central Florida; Brevard and Volusia along the Atlantic; Marion, Alachua, and Duval through the I-75/I-95 corridors north; and Leon and Escambia in the Panhandle.
