No pressure. No obligation. We’ll tell you what looks solid and what needs fixing.

Who This Is For

We’re a good fit for HVAC contractors who understand insurance is part of the operation — not just a line item.

  • Residential & light commercial HVAC contractors
  • Service & maintenance companies with multiple trucks
  • Install crews (including helpers and subcontractors)
  • Businesses that need COIs for GCs, property managers, or municipalities
  • Owners who want fewer surprises at renewal and audit time
If you’re only shopping the cheapest number without reviewing coverage, we may not be the right fit — and that’s okay.

Why HVAC Policies Go Wrong

Most problems don’t show up on day one — they show up at audit, claim time, or when a certificate is rejected.

  • Workers’ comp class codes that don’t match actual duties
  • Subcontractor exposure not handled correctly
  • Payroll, sales, or receipts underestimated at binding
  • Commercial auto misrated (radius, vehicle use, driver details)
  • Tools/equipment coverage gaps (especially theft from vehicles)
  • Incorrect additional insured / waiver of sub wording
These issues quietly drive premiums up and create stress later.

What We Review

Our focus isn’t just quoting — it’s making sure your insurance actually works when it’s tested.

  • General Liability (operations, completed ops, additional insureds)
  • Workers’ Compensation (class codes, payroll, audit exposure)
  • Commercial Auto (vehicles, radius, driver usage)
  • Umbrella / Excess Liability when your contracts require higher limits
  • Tools & equipment coverage where applicable (jobsite + transit)
  • Commercial Property for HVAC businesses that own/lease space (buildings, contents, and tools)
  • Certificates & contract requirements (GCs, property managers, municipalities)

Common HVAC “misses” we see:
tool theft exclusions, underreported payroll, wrong auto use, missing additional insured wording, and policies that look “cheap” until a claim happens.

Quick HVAC Insurance FAQ

What coverages do most HVAC contractors need in Georgia?
Most HVAC businesses start with General Liability and Commercial Auto. If you have employees (or are required by contract), Workers’ Compensation is usually next. Many contractors also need:
  • Tools & equipment coverage (especially if tools are stored in trucks or on job sites)
  • Umbrella if you work for GCs or commercial property managers
  • Commercial property if you have a shop, warehouse space, or significant inventory
Why do workers’ comp audits create surprise bills?
Audits usually happen because the policy was set up with estimated payroll, then the carrier reconciles actual payroll at the end of the term. Issues are worse when:
  • Payroll was underestimated at binding
  • Employee duties don’t match class codes
  • Subcontractors weren’t documented correctly
We aim to structure the policy so the audit matches what you expected.
Does General Liability cover faulty work or “bad installs”?
Liability typically covers bodily injury or property damage to others caused by your operations, and certain “completed operations” claims. It generally does not pay to simply redo your own work. Where this gets tricky is when an install issue causes damage (water, fire, smoke, refrigerant release, etc.). That’s why coverage wording and limits matter.
Can my tools be covered if they’re stolen from a truck?
Sometimes — but it depends on the coverage form and conditions. Tool theft from vehicles is a common pain point (and some policies have limitations). If tools are a major part of your operation, we’ll look at the cleanest way to structure coverage for jobsite + transit exposure.
What if I’m a one-person HVAC business?
You can often still carry General Liability and Commercial Auto. Workers’ comp depends on your situation and contracts. If you use subs, we’ll also talk about how to document them correctly so it doesn’t backfire at audit time.
Do you only place E&S policies for HVAC?
Not necessarily. Some HVAC risks fit standard markets, and some require E&S depending on factors like claims history, revenue, scope (commercial vs residential), prior coverage, and contract requirements. Our approach is simple: place it where it fits correctly — and explain why.

Ready for a Second Opinion?

A short conversation can help determine whether your HVAC insurance still fits — and whether there are smarter options available before renewal.
