FAQs
Common Questions from Electrical Contractors Businesses
Does equipment breakdown cover a cable puller or conduit bender?
Yes. Powered equipment like cable pullers, hydraulic knockout punches, and conduit benders can be covered for sudden and accidental failure.
Is this coverage worth it for smaller electrical tools?
For high-value powered equipment (generally $2,000+), equipment breakdown is worth considering. Smaller hand tools are typically better covered under an inland marine policy.
Isn't equipment breakdown covered by commercial property?
Standard commercial property policies cover damage from external causes — fire, storm, theft. They typically exclude mechanical or electrical breakdown from internal failure. Equipment breakdown coverage specifically addresses that internal failure scenario.
Does this cover normal wear and tear?
No — equipment breakdown covers sudden and accidental failure, not gradual deterioration or wear and tear. Routine maintenance issues and end-of-life breakdowns are generally excluded.
