Running an HVAC business—whether it’s heating, air conditioning, or ventilation—carries unique risks. From installing complex systems to working on rooftops and in tight spaces, accidents can happen.
Having the right HVAC contractor business insurance protects your company, employees, and clients from financial loss. Here’s how to get coverage quickly, what policies to consider, and how Wexford Insurance can help.
Why HVAC Contractors Need Business Insurance
HVAC work exposes your business to risks such as:
Property damage: Accidental damage to client homes or businesses
Bodily injury: Employees or clients can be hurt on-site
Equipment and tool loss: HVAC systems, tools, and vehicles are expensive
Liability claims: Lawsuits from mistakes, faulty installation, or negligence
Without proper coverage, your business could face costly claims and legal action.
