Insurance covers to consider
When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:
Public liability insurance
When you’re working with water, electricity and gas, a small mistake could turn into a costly claim, therefore cover could prove to be crucial. Public liability insurance offers financial protection against accidental damage to property or accidental injury to third parties. This means that if a customer fell over your toolbox and claimed compensation for an injury, the costs can be taken care of. Similarly, if you accidentally cause water to escape from a pipe that causes damage to someone’s house, repairs will typically be covered up to the amount of cover you select.

Employers' liability cover
If you have staff or someone to help on a temporary basis, you’ll need to take out employers’ liability insurance. Not only will this fulfil your legal obligation to protect your employees, but it will also cover any compensation awards and medical costs if they had an accident at work and pursued a claim against you. Both of these covers can be combined into one easy-to-buy ventilation and heating engineer insurance policy that’s tailored to your needs.

Personal accident cover
While being self-employed comes with many advantages, it’s important to consider the financial risks of working for yourself. For instance, if you had an accident that left you unable to trade, your income could take a hit. Personal accident cover can offer a weekly income to tide you over until you’re back on your feet again.

Property & equipment insurance
As a heating engineer, you’ll require a number of tools and specialist products to do your job effectively. If you have an office or storage or lock-up for your equipment you should also consider cover for your buildings, contents and equipment.

Business interruption insurance
Consider business interruption cover to protect your income should you suffer damage at your premises meaning you are unable to trade. With varying levels of cover available, you can select the cover that’s most relevant to you meaning you only pay for the cover you need. Just give us a call for advice on the covers you may need.

Insurance for contract works
If you’re taking on more complex work, then contract works cover could be more appropriate, which can cover the plant being installed as well as machinery and much more. If you’re unsure of what you need to protect your equipment give us a call. Our expert advisors are on hand to help you find the right cover for your business.

Van insurance
A commercial vehicle or van could be a crucial part of your business; whether it’s for deliveries, tools, or even just getting to and from your customers on a daily basis, we understand the need for a quality cover that gives you peace of mind. Take a look at the business van insurance page to find out more about van insurance for heating engineers.

Professional indemnity insurance
Heating engineers are often required to provide advice on equipment safety as well as design and specify heating installations for projects. If you provide a professional service, or advice to customers, professional indemnity insurance should be considered as an essential cover for your business.
It can cover compensation for losses you are legally liable for if you make a mistake or give negligent advice which results in a loss to the customer or in the event the work you carried out is deemed to be defective, inadequate or fails to perform. Call us today to discuss adding professional indemnity cover to your heating engineer insurance package.

Tool cover for engineers
Your tools are pivotal to your ability to work. If your tools were lost or stolen you could find yourself unable to trade. For instance, let’s say your tools were stolen from your vehicle; an all too common incident when it comes to contractors’ tools and equipment, then tool cover will typically cover the cost of replacing them meaning you can continue to run your business and serve your customers as planned.
