Who We Write in This Trade

Solo service electricians, residential new-construction operations, commercial electrical contractors, industrial/specialty (data center, generator, EV charging, solar/PV) operations.

Carrier Appetite

Standard panel: Travelers, The Hartford, Nationwide, AmTrust, Merchants Mutual, Next. Solar/PV cross-trades with roofing and has its own carrier considerations. Industrial work (generator, switchgear) sometimes routes to specialty markets given higher-severity exposure.

The Coverage Stack You’ll Want

  • GL — $1M/$2M standard. Fire causation is the biggest exposure; products-completed limits matter long after the job ends (a fire 4 years post-install is your claim).
  • Workers Comp — supervisor payroll splits help. Solar work has its own class code — get it on the policy if you do PV.
  • Commercial Auto — trucks, vans, trailers, employee drivers.
  • Tools & Equipment — wire pulls, meters, test equipment, generators. Installation floater for customer-supplied panels/equipment.
  • Commercial Umbrella — recommended; sits over GL, Auto, and EL.

NJ-Specific Considerations

  • NJ Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC) required for the qualifying license holder. We confirm at intake.
  • Solar/PV work — cross-trades with roofing. Some GL carriers exclude or sublimit PV; we get the right form.
  • EV charger install — emerging exposure, generally fits standard market.
  • Generator install — installation floater for the unit while in transit and pre-install.
  • Data center / commercial mission-critical work — higher-severity exposure; carrier appetite narrower.
FAQ

Common questions.

Solo service electrician — what does a typical program cost?
Rough order: $2,000–$3,800/year for GL ($1M/$2M), Auto (one van, $1M CSL), Tools ($15K), Umbrella ($1M). WC adds $2,000–$3,500 if electing in. We quote your numbers.
Do you write solar/PV electricians?
Yes — but it routes differently than standard residential service electrical. PV exposure is excluded or sublimited on some carriers. We get the right form.
Fire causation 4 years after the job — am I covered?
Yes, if your products-completed operations is included with an adequate limit AND you maintained continuous coverage. Lapses are the killer — products-completed claims trigger on the policy in force at the time of the claim, not the install. Don’t lapse.
Commercial EV charger installs — different conversation?
Generally fits standard market. We confirm the cert and any manufacturer requirements at quote.
Data center work — can you place it?
Depends on revenue and project profile. Larger data-center exposures sometimes route to specialty markets. Tell us on the intake.
