Business insurance for gas engineers

Our customer, the owner of an energy consultancy firm, had a claim brought against his business for alleged ill advice. His client said they had been overcharged by thousands of pounds for their energy use and said this was because of a lack of communication regarding new tariffs.

Hiscox’s deployed experts to assist with the professional indemnity case and defend our customer during the trial during which he was acquitted.

It can be helpful for customers to understand how business insurance works in practice. That’s why we’ve compiled a collection of claims stories to help better understand how legal proceedings can come about.

Yes, insurance for your tools offers cover for loss, damage and theft, meaning that you can focus your attention on providing the best service possible for your clients. Building equipment cover into your Hiscox heating engineer insurance ensures the cost of replacing stolen items is accounted for should you fall victim to theft.

We understand that, even though locking your tools away securely in your work van is good practice, this doesn’t always guarantee they’ll be safe from theft. Tool insurance can help to provide an extra layer of protection for a gas engineer on top of your standard safety protocols.

At Hiscox we understand that the work of a gas and heating engineer can involve both domestic customers and commercial clients, so our insurance takes this into account.

For you, no project is more important than another, as you handle gas appliances with the same level of professional care, so your cover needs to keep pace.

Your business might need cover whether you’re working on a large scale commercial contract or installing gas central heating in a private residential home. In order to provide reassurance and protection, our insurance for gas engineers covers a range of scenarios spanning both types of client.
