As an electrical contractor, you work in one of the most essential—and high-risk—trades in the construction industry. Whether you’re wiring new homes, installing complex commercial systems, or troubleshooting electrical issues, your expertise keeps homes, businesses, and communities powered. But with this responsibility comes significant risk.

A single accident, equipment failure, or error in your work could lead to costly claims. That’s why Hawsey Insurance offers electrical contractor insurance specifically designed to protect your livelihood. Serving electricians across Mississippi, we provide tailored coverage that shields you from liability, property damage, equipment loss, and more.

Why Electrical Contractors Need Specialized Insurance

Electrical work is inherently dangerous and highly regulated. Even the most experienced contractors face potential hazards, including:

• Electrical shock or burns to employees
• Fires or explosions caused by faulty wiring
• Damage to a client’s property during installation or repair
• Injuries to bystanders or customers at a job site
• Stolen or damaged tools and equipment
• Project delays due to weather or unforeseen issues

 

Without the right insurance, these incidents could be financially devastating. Electrical contractor insuranceensures you’re protected from the unexpected so you can focus on running your business.

Unique Risks for Mississippi Electrical Contractors

Electrical contractors in Mississippi face unique challenges due to our climate, geography, and infrastructure. Coastal storms, hurricanes, and heavy rain can damage job sites and delay projects. Older buildings may have outdated wiring systems that increase the complexity—and risk—of your work.

• Business size – Number of employees, annual revenue, and scale of projects
• Type of work – Residential, commercial, or industrial projects may carry different risk levels
• Experience & claims history – Fewer claims and more experience often lead to lower rates
• Value of tools and equipment – Higher-value items increase coverage needs
