Fire and faulty work follow the wire. Insure for it.
Electrical work carries consequences long after the job is done: a fire traced to an installation, a code issue, a shock injury. Add the tools, the service vans, and the commercial contracts that demand certificates, and the right program matters more than the price.

Why electricians need completed operations
The biggest electrical claims often arrive after the work is finished, a fire or failure tied back to an installation. Completed operations coverage is what responds, and it has to stay in force and at adequate limits to cover work done in prior years. Commercial clients frequently require completed-operations additional insured status, so the policy form and endorsements have to deliver it.
The coverage stack
General liability is the base, written to include products and completed operations. Workers compensation covers your electricians, helpers, and apprentices, and class codes and payroll allocation should be reviewed so the audit does not surprise you. Commercial auto covers the service vans, and tools and equipment covers the meters, testers, and gear that move between jobs. Design or spec work points toward professional liability, which general liability does not cover.
Contracts and certificates
Commercial and GC jobs almost always require a certificate of insurance, additional insured status, and often a waiver of subrogation. A certificate alone proves little; the endorsement behind it is what transfers the risk. We read the requirement, add the endorsements, and make sure the certificate reflects coverage you actually carry, so a job is not held up over paperwork.
How we handle it
We confirm your general liability includes the completed-operations coverage electrical work demands, at limits that match your contracts. We review class codes and payroll so the workers comp audit is clean. We add the additional insured and waiver endorsements your jobs require. And we flag where design or spec work needs professional liability the general liability will not cover.
