HOW WE BUILD YOUR PROGRAM
What We Review Before Recommending Coverage
An HVAC insurance program should reflect the size and complexity of the business, not simply the trade name. We review the operational details that influence coverage, carrier eligibility, contract compliance, and long-term insurance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Contractor Insurance
1. What insurance does an HVAC contractor typically need?
HVAC contractors commonly need general liability, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, equipment and inland marine, commercial property, and umbrella or excess liability coverage. The appropriate program depends on your payroll, vehicles, employees, equipment, project types, subcontracting practices, and contractual requirements.
2. How much does HVAC contractor insurance cost?
Insurance costs vary based on annual payroll and revenue, employee classifications, claims history, experience modification, vehicles and drivers, equipment values, project size, and the type of HVAC work performed. We review your actual operations and current insurance program before recommending coverage or estimating costs.
3. Does general liability cover faulty HVAC installation?
General liability may cover resulting third-party bodily injury or property damage caused by covered HVAC operations, including certain completed-work claims. It generally does not serve as a warranty for replacing or correcting defective workmanship itself. Coverage depends on the circumstances and the specific terms, conditions, and exclusions of the policy.
4. Are HVAC tools and equipment covered by commercial auto insurance?
Commercial auto insurance generally does not provide complete protection for tools, diagnostic equipment, recovery machines, or materials carried in service vehicles. Equipment and inland marine coverage can help protect these items while they are stored, transported, or used at temporary job sites.
5. Do you insure refrigeration, chiller, boiler, and duct-cleaning contractors?
Yes, we can review specialized HVAC operations including commercial refrigeration, chillers, boilers, duct cleaning, ventilation systems, and industrial equipment. Carrier eligibility and coverage will depend on factors such as refrigerant handling, hot work, pressure-vessel work, rooftop exposures, project size, equipment values, and contractual requirements.
6. Do you insure HVAC contractors operating in multiple states?
We focus on established HVAC contractors in California and Texas, with coverage available in select additional states. Multi-state operations should be disclosed so workers’ compensation, commercial auto, licensing, certificates, and policy territory can be coordinated correctly. Coverage availability remains subject to carrier underwriting.
