Electrical engineer insurance – protect your livelihood with comprehensive cover.
Things can go wrong, and accidents and mistakes happen, so having the right insurance in place is vital. Electrical engineer insurance can protect you and your business should mistakes result in financial loss or injury to your clients, damage to property and injury to members of the public. It can also cover the costs resulting from legal claims relating to advice you have provided and will cover expenses incurred in your defence.
As an electrical engineer, you may often be designing and advising on systems, as well as undertaking electrical work, so it’s important to have professional indemnity insurance (PII). This can cover you if your advice results in losses for your client. You may also be working on multiple projects at the same time, so you need to make sure you have the right level of PII to cover your largest project. Professional indemnity insurance for electrical engineers is also often mandatory when you’re working on a contract.
We work hard to provide you with the right electrical engineer insurance. Working with you to understand your business we will do our best to ensure your policy meets all of your specific needs.

Frequently asked questions
This depends on the nature of your business – the kind of work you do and where, whether you employ people – and whether you have business premises or vehicles. The insurance cover you typically need includes public liability insurance cover and professional indemnity insurance cover– both of which are included as standard (amongst other cover features) in our electrical contractors liability insurance product.
If you are registered with NICEIC, you are required to have a minimum of £250,000 professional indemnity cover if the scope of work you undertake includes periodic inspection and testing. You are also required to have public liability insurance cover for a minimum of £2 million.
You may also need employers liability which is compulsory for most businesses that employ one or more people. You may then choose to add other cover features like property insurance to protect your shop, office, workshop, or other business premises; van insurance; and tools insurance – as well as covers such as personal accident and income protection.
The insurance covers you need as an electrical contractor depends on your business's nature – its size, whether you employ people and the kinds of work you carry out – and on your attitude to risk. Employers liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ people – even temporarily or unpaid. Meanwhile, public liability insurance covers legal fees and compensation if a client or member of the public alleges injury or property damage as a result of your work, as well as cover for your tools, vehicles and premises. You are required to have at least £2 million public liability insurance cover as part of the NICEIC scheme(s).
Similarly, income protection insurance can step in to replace lost income if you are unable to work through illness or injury and may be a sensible precaution.
Professional indemnity insurance is a requirement for NICEIC scheme(s) where the scope of work undertaken includes periodic inspection and testing. This will cover the cost of legal fees and compensation if a client alleges a failure in your professional advice.
At NICEIC Insurance services, we have worked with insurers to develop contractors insurance solutions that are comprehensive, flexible and affordable – to make it easier for you to find the right cover at the right price.
