The coverages and services a growing low-voltage contractor needs.
Low voltage contractors face unique risks involving technology systems, data cabling, security devices, and jobsite demands that generic insurance programs often overlook. We identify these issues early to prevent renewal complications, contract delays, and uncovered claims. Our team builds the stack around how this trade actually runs.
Coverage by coverage.
What each line is, and the specific risk it answers for an alarm, CCTV, access control, structured cabling, AV, or fire alarm operation.
- 01
General Liability
Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage arising from your operations and completed work. It is the foundation almost every contract, lease, and general contractor will require you to carry.
- 02
Professional Liability / Errors and Omissions (Technology E&O)
The critical one for this trade: claims from faulty system design, installation mistakes, and integration errors that general liability will not cover.
- 03
Tools, Equipment, and Installation Floater (Inland Marine)
Tools and equipment on the move, plus materials installed but not yet accepted by the customer.
- 04
Commercial Auto
An owned fleet plus hired and non-owned auto for crews driving to job sites.
- 05
Workers' Compensation
Required in most states, and class codes matter here. Alarm-system contractors and pure low-voltage or tech-integration work fall under different codes, and payroll across multiple crews drives both cost and exposure, so getting the classification right affects what you pay.
- 06
Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)
Once you have employees and crews, exposure to wrongful termination, discrimination, and harassment claims grows.
- 07
Cyber Liability
This trade holds client access credentials, camera feeds, and network access, which creates exposure most generalist programs ignore.
- 08
Commercial Umbrella / Excess Liability
The higher limits that general contractors and facility owners often require contractually.
- 09
Surety and Bonds
License bonds where required, plus bid and performance bonds for larger contracts.
