Frequently asked questions about HVAC contractor insurance
How much is HVAC contractor insurance in Ontario?
HVAC contractor insurance premiums can start from as low as $650 a year for a small HVAC business with no physical office or company vehicles. The actual cost of your policy will depend on a number of factors, including:
- Where your business is based
- The annual revenues of the company
- How many employees you have
- How many years of experience you and your employees have
- Whether you have past claims
Do I need special coverage if I use my personal truck to transport materials to worksites?
Commercial auto insurance covers both business and personal use of a vehicle, but your personal auto insurance policy doesn’t cover business use unless you let your broker know when you buy the policy. There are lots of options for commercial auto coverage, including non-owned auto, which covers all your employees if they drive their own trucks for the business, and fleet coverage, which can save you money if your company has at least five vehicles.
Does my HVAC company need cyber insurance?
As an HVAC contracting business, you may think that cyber insurance is not for you. But this isn’t the case. If you store customer payment information or other personal data electronically, whether on a laptop or in the cloud, a hack or data breach could cost your company dearly, and this kind of loss isn’t covered by standard commercial general liability.
Cyber insurance also covers liability arising from your website or social media presence, includes PR support for any reputational damage and more. Today, cyber coverage is important for every business, and can be quite affordable. Ask your Mitch broker to include cyber coverage in your insurance quote. You’ll be glad you did.
