Commercial
Office buildouts, retail spaces, tenant improvements, and commercial service work carry exposure residential jobs don't. Get coverage that matches what GCs and property managers actually require.
Commercial electrical work looks nothing like a residential service call. You're pulling permits, coordinating with GCs and property managers, working around building codes and inspection schedules, and often carrying higher voltage exposure in office buildouts, retail spaces, and tenant improvement projects. Your insurance needs to match that reality.
Most general contractors and property management companies won't let you on a commercial job site without proof of at least $1M/$2M general liability, and many now require $2M/$4M — particularly on larger buildouts or in multi-tenant buildings where a single incident could affect several occupants.
Nearly every commercial contract you sign will require the GC or property owner to be named as an additional insured, along with a waiver of subrogation. This isn't optional paperwork — jobs get held up when a certificate doesn't match the contract requirements exactly.
A wiring failure in a commercial building can affect multiple tenants, trigger a fire suppression system, or shut down a business for days. That severity is exactly why commercial electrical work is priced and underwritten differently than residential service calls.
Commercial jobs often mean more equipment on-site for longer stretches — panel testers, thermal cameras, conduit benders, lifts. That equipment needs to be covered whether it's on the job site overnight, in transit, or in your shop.
Commercial electrical contractors typically run larger crews than residential-only operators. Workers comp requirements scale with your payroll, and commercial GCs will often ask to see your workers comp certificate alongside your GL certificate before your crew steps on site.
Commercial clients move fast and expect paperwork to keep up. When your certificate of insurance is ready to send the moment you bind coverage, you avoid the delays that come from scrambling to get proof of insurance together after you've already been awarded the job.
