Tools & Equipment Insurance for C10 Electrical Contractors
Your tools are your livelihood. Without them, there's no work and no income. Protect your investment in electrical equipment against theft, damage, and loss anywhere they go.
Why C10 Electricians Need Tools & Equipment Coverage
As a C10 electrical contractor, your tools and test equipment represent a significant investment — often $10,000 to $30,000 or more for a fully equipped electrician. Without coverage, a single theft or accident could sideline your business for weeks while you scramble to replace critical equipment.
Standard commercial property insurance only covers items at a fixed business location. Your tools travel with you — to job sites, in your van, stored in different locations. Tools & equipment insurance (also called inland marine coverage) follows your tools wherever they go.
Job site theft is the most common claim. California has some of the highest rates of contractor tool theft in the country. It takes seconds for thieves to break a van window and walk off with thousands in equipment. Coverage pays to replace it quickly so your business doesn't miss a beat.
What's Typically Covered
Real-World Coverage Scenarios
Job Site Theft
Your van is broken into overnight and $4,000 worth of meters, testers, and tools are taken. Tools & equipment coverage pays to replace them so you can get back to work.
Equipment Damage
Your thermal imaging camera falls from a ladder on a commercial job and is destroyed. The claim is covered, with replacement or repair at no major out-of-pocket cost.
Transit Loss
While moving equipment between job sites, a collision damages your specialized wire-pulling equipment. Transit coverage pays for the replacement.
