Equipment Insurance

Some business owners are under the impression that if any damage happens to their equipment that the general property insurance policy covers the loss, however, this might not be the case and the owner would have needed an equipment insurance policy. General property insurance covers damages that occur from “external” sources such as fire, wind and rain, so it may be surprising, if not disappointing when an electrical short causes extensive damage to a particular piece of electronics that is imperative to your business. Equipment insurance covers equipment failure from “internal causes” like mechanical failure, electricity outages, arcing from faulty wiring. All equipment is subject to these hazards so it is imperative that you speak to a Copeland Insurance Group agent today to ensure that you minimize any risks to equipment breakdown.
