What Types of Insurance Do Domestic Electrical Installers Need?

At Electrician Saver, we offer a range of insurance options tailored to the needs of domestic electrical installers. Our insurance packages typically include:

Public Liability Insurance for Electricians

Public liability insurance is essential for all electricians, including domestic electrical installers. This type of insurance covers you if a member of the public is injured or their property is damaged as a result of your work. For example, you accidentally damage a client’s expensive flooring while installing new wiring. Public liability insurance would cover the cost of repairs or replacement.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional indemnity insurance is crucial for electrical contractors who provide advice or designs as part of their services. This insurance protects you if a client claims your professional services caused them financial loss. For instance, you made a mistake in your electrical design that led to additional costs for the client. Professional indemnity insurance would cover the associated expenses.

Employers’ Liability Insurance

UK law states you must have employers’ liability insurance if you employ any staff, even if only on a part-time or casual basis. This insurance protects your business if an employee becomes ill or injured due to their work. For electrical contractors, this could include injuries from electrical shocks or falls from height.

Tools and Equipment Insurance

Your tools and equipment are essential to your work. Tools and equipment insurance covers the cost of replacing or repairing your equipment if it’s lost, stolen, or damaged. This can include everything from hand tools to expensive testing equipment.

Personal Accident Insurance

Personal accident insurance provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to an accident. This can be particularly important for self-employed electricians who wouldn’t receive sick pay.

Income Protection Insurance

Income protection insurance offers long-term financial support if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. This type of insurance ensures you can continue to meet your financial obligations even if you’re out of work for an extended period.

FAQs

Domestic Electrician Insurance FAQs

Public liability insurance isn’t legally required. But it’s highly recommended for all electricians, including domestic electrical installers. Many clients and contractors will require you to have this insurance before they’ll work with you.

The level of public liability cover you need can depend on the size and nature of your work. Most domestic electricians opt for at least £1 million in cover, but higher levels (up to £10 million) are available for larger projects or higher-risk work.

Standard public liability insurance typically doesn’t cover subcontractors. If you regularly work with subcontractors, you should ensure they have their own insurance or consider a policy that includes cover for subcontractors.
