What is electrician insurance?
Electrician insurance is a public liability policy that protects electricians from claims made by the public for injuries or property damage caused during electrical work. This insurance offers peace of mind, knowing that unexpected incidents are covered.
It covers a range of scenarios where your electrician business could be held legally responsible for causing harm or damage.
Some key areas it typically includes are injury to third parties, damage to third-party property, legal expenses, and compensation claims.
Public liability insurance is crucial to electricians for several reasons:
- Business reputation: Clients see electricians with insurance as trustworthy and reliable, which can give you a competitive edge.
- Financial protection: From damaged wiring to accidental injuries, electrical work carries significant risks. Insurance shields you from the financial consequences of claims.
- Legal compliance: Many clients, contractors, and governing bodies require electricians to have liability insurance before allowing them on-site.

How much does electrician insurance cost?
This depends on the nature and size of your electrician business, the level of risk involved and any claims history you might have.
The cost of public liability insurance varies based on several factors:
Level of cover
Insurance costs are affected by the cover level you choose. Public liability starts at £1 million, but you can opt for £5 million or £10 million depending on your business needs.
Nature of business
Electrical work carries varying risks, from accidental damage to fires, which can affect your premium. High-risk electrical jobs may lead to increased costs.
Location
Where you operate can influence insurance costs. Businesses in areas with higher crime rates and potential claims may face higher premiums.
Business size and turnover
Larger electrical firms or those handling high-value contracts usually need broader cover, which increases the premium.
Number of employees
A larger team increases potential risk exposure, as more staff raise the likelihood of claims, impacting the overall insurance cost.
Claims history
A strong claims history can help reduce premiums, while previous claims may indicate higher risk and lead to increased costs.
