Why Choose Us

Low Voltage Insurance Specialists

Generic agents don't understand low voltage licensing requirements or why your cabling work gets excluded from standard contractor policies. We specialize in the low voltage trade.

01

No Low Voltage Exclusions

Many standard commercial contractor policies exclude "electronic data," "telecommunications," or "low voltage work." We work with carriers who write policies specifically for your trade — so there are no hidden exclusions that leave you unprotected when a claim happens.

02

State Licensing Compliance

Low voltage licensing varies widely — California C-7, Texas ESA, and other state-specific requirements. We know your state's requirements and make sure your GL and bonds keep your license current and compliant regardless of where you work.

03

COIs Issued to GC Spec Upon Binding

Commercial GCs and property managers have specific COI requirements — exact limits, additional insured endorsements, waiver of subrogation. We know these requirements and issue COIs that satisfy them immediately so you never lose a project over paperwork delays.

04

Right Coverage for Each Trade

Structured cabling, A/V, security, and access control all have different risk profiles and different insurance needs. We tailor your program to your specific mix of low voltage work rather than forcing you into a generic policy not designed for your trade.

FAQ — Low Voltage Contractors

Georgia Low Voltage Contractor Insurance Questions

Common questions from structured cabling, A/V, security, and data cabling contractors about their insurance needs.

Do low voltage contractors need general liability insurance?

Yes. General liability is required by GCs, commercial property owners, and many state licensing boards for low voltage contractors. GL covers third-party bodily injury and property damage during your cabling, A/V, security, or access control installations. Most GC subcontractor agreements require a minimum of $1M/$2M GL with the GC named as additional insured.

What types of low voltage work does your insurance cover?

We cover the full range of low voltage contractor work including structured cabling (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A), fiber optic inside plant, A/V installation, IP camera and CCTV systems, access control, building automation/BMS, network and data cabling, and telecommunications infrastructure work. We work with carriers who do not exclude low voltage or telecom operations from their policies.

Is workers' compensation required for low voltage contractors?

Almost every state requires workers' compensation for low voltage contractors with one or more employees. Workers' comp covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured on the job. Low voltage work — pulling cable overhead, working in confined electrical rooms, installing equipment at height — carries real injury risk. Failure to carry workers' comp where required can result in significant fines and stop-work orders.

How much does low voltage contractor insurance cost?

General liability for a low voltage contractor typically starts around $900–$2,200/year for a small operation, depending on annual revenue, trade type, and number of employees. Structured cabling and A/V contractors often have lower premiums than security or fire alarm contractors. Adding workers' comp, commercial auto, and an umbrella policy will increase the total. Submit a quote for accurate pricing from multiple A-rated carriers.

Do low voltage contractors need to be licensed and bonded?

Licensing requirements for low voltage contractors vary by state. California requires a C-7 Low Voltage Systems Contractor license; Texas has ESA licensing requirements; many other states have limited energy or low voltage contractor license requirements that include a bond. We help low voltage contractors meet state-specific bond requirements and coordinate bonding with general liability for streamlined compliance.
