A class Coterie knows well

On Coterie’s own Top 100 classes list from December 2025, Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors is ranked #12. In other words, this is a business type Coterie actively writes.

Where claims come from

Watch for property damage from wiring work, a client tripping over cords, and completed-work claims. Customers and GCs commonly ask for proof of GL before you start a job. A customer’s medical bills or a repair bill for someone else’s property can fall on you if you’re found negligent.

Two ways to protect the business

General liability (GL): covers bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury claims. Limits run from $300K to $2M per occurrence, with aggregates at double the per-occurrence limit.

Business owner’s policy (BOP): A BOP can protect office property and add contractor tool coverage. Bundling everything in one policy keeps renewals and certificates simple.

Appetite notes for this class

Contractors: eligibility runs to $5M in revenue and 15 employees, and the appetite excludes general contractors, paper contractors, firms whose subcontractor costs top half of revenue, equipment rental to others and exterior work above three stories. Solar panel installation or repair is excluded for electricians. General eligibility: up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, no more than two losses in five years (none over $15K), and no prior cancellations or non-renewals.
