Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program targets established contractors in the fire protection sector. Typical accounts include:
- Commercial fire sprinkler system installers and service contractors
- Companies that perform system testing, inspections, and maintenance
- Alarm installation and repair providers tied to suppression systems
Best-fit accounts manage most field operations directly and demonstrate a track record of quality work and safety controls. Accounts with heavy subcontracting (over ~25%), primarily residential exposure, or limited experience are less likely to qualify.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
ProSight’s Fire Suppression General Liability program combines industry-specific coverage features with a rating approach that reflects operational exposure. Key highlights include:
- Proprietary payroll-based rating structure that aligns premium to field exposure
- Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) extension for covered operations
- $1 million per occurrence limit (primary)
- $2 million General Aggregate and $2 million Products & Completed Operations
- Non-admitted umbrella available up to $5 million where applicable
Underwriting Notes
This is a non-admitted program underwritten by ProSight Specialty Insurance. There is no published minimum premium, but submissions should represent quality risks with clear safety programs, documented experience, and reasonable loss histories. Expect careful review of subcontracting practices; firms that control most field labor in-house are preferred. Residential-only contractors, high subcontracting ratios, or accounts with recurring unresolved losses are typically declined.
Territories and Availability
ProSight offers this coverage in most states. The program is available in 49 states plus Washington, DC; confirm eligibility for the specific state before submitting.
