FAQs — Electrical Insurance Tampa FL
Frequently Asked Questions
Does GL cover fire damage caused by faulty electrical work?
Generally yes, but some GL policies contain pollution or electrical exclusions that may limit coverage for certain fire scenarios. FishHawk Insurance Center reviews policy language carefully when placing electrical contractor GL — ensuring your actual scope of work is fully covered.
What workers' comp class code applies to electricians?
Electrical work typically falls under NCCI class codes 5190 (electrical wiring) or 5191 (electrical NOC), depending on the specific scope. Correct class code assignment is important — FishHawk Insurance Center applies your codes accurately from day one.
What bond do I need for my Florida EC license?
Florida Certified Electrical Contractors need a surety bond as part of CILB requirements. Hillsborough County and City of Tampa may require additional local permit bonds. FishHawk Insurance Center identifies your exact bonding requirements and handles issuance quickly.
Do I need completed operations coverage?
Yes. Electrical failures that cause fires or equipment damage often emerge weeks or months after project completion. Completed operations coverage within your GL policy covers post-job claims. FishHawk Insurance Center verifies this for every electrical contractor client.
