What insurance does an HVAC contractor need?

General liability, commercial auto for service vehicles, workers compensation if you have employees, and tools & equipment coverage. Many also need E&O and environmental liability coverage.

Does my personal auto policy cover my HVAC service van?

No. Using a personal vehicle for business voids most personal auto coverage. You need commercial auto for any vehicle primarily used for service calls, estimates, and material transport.

What happens if I damage a customer's home during installation?

General liability covers property damage caused by your operations. If a technician damages flooring, drywall, or fixtures during an HVAC install, your policy pays for repairs.

How much does HVAC contractor insurance cost?

A one-person HVAC operation might pay $2,000-4,000/year. With employees and a fleet, costs range from $5,000-12,000+ depending on payroll, vehicle count, and coverage limits.
