Novatae Risk Group offers a dedicated Workers Compensation Insurance program tailored to electrical contractors. Electricians and electrical contractors face unique job-site hazards — electrical burns, falls, and equipment-related injuries — that can lead to costly claims and business interruption. This program helps independent agents and brokers place reliable workers compensation coverage that addresses those specific risks while protecting your clients’ balance sheets.
Built through a strategic relationship with an "A"-rated carrier, the program is designed for speed and ease of placement. Novatae provides responsive underwriting, a streamlined submission process, and flexible access to admitted and non-admitted markets so you can get quotes and bind coverage efficiently. The program is positioned for agents who need a dependable market and competitive terms for electrician risks.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program is a fit for a broad range of electrical contracting operations, including residential, commercial, and light industrial electricians. Typical appetites include contractors who perform wiring for new construction, service and maintenance on residential and commercial properties, and small-scale industrial electrical work.
You’re likely to place accounts that have clear safety programs and a stable or improving loss history. Accounts with routine job-site exposures — ladder work, overhead wiring, conduit installation, and equipment servicing — are a good match. Accounts with frequent large losses, ongoing regulatory issues, or highly specialized industrial exposures should be discussed with underwriting before submission.
