General Liability

General liability insurance covers a wide range of appliance technician accidents and basic risks. You’ll have financial protection if someone other than an employee gets hurt or you are held responsible for damaging property that doesn’t belong to you. It’s often required by project owners and individual clients. General liability includes contractors’ E&O, or professional liability coverage, which can help cover costs in a business disagreement.

Frequently asked questions about appliance technician insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about affordable appliance technician insurance. If you don’t find the answers you need here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help via online chat or phone.

How does business insurance protect appliance technicians?

Our appliance repair technician coverage packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You’ll be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

While installing a new refrigerator, you crack a few tiles on the client’s kitchen floor. The general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for a replacement.

Accidents that hurt someone

A client trips over your tool box and hurts their ankle. Your general liability coverage would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

A dryer vent is incorrectly attached after a repair, which causes moisture damage in a client’s home. E&O insurance helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Workplace injuries

You injure your back while moving a heavy appliance and need time off to heal. Workers’ compensation insurance can help cover medical bills and lost wages — not to mention it’s usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

You leave a dent on a nearby vehicle when parking your work truck in a tight space. Commercial auto insurance will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Theft or damage to your tools

Your storage shed floods, damaging many of your tools. You can choose to add tools and equipment insurance to your general liability coverage to help pay for replacement costs.

Damage to your own property

Thieves smash the front windows of your office and take some of your equipment. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.
