In Texas, electrical work is more than a job — it’s a personal promise. A promise to build safe, reliable systems. To protect property. To get it done right the first time.
But one wrong wire, one uninsured helper, one stolen van full of gear — and the whole business is exposed.
Whether you’re a one-man outfit working residential remodels or managing full-scale crews on commercial builds, your insurance needs to work as hard as you do.
At WorkersInsurance.com, we protect Texas electricians with policies designed for TDLR license requirements, Texas jobsite realities, and contractor ambition — no runaround, no fluff, just strong coverage that fits like your favorite tool belt.
🧠 Serving Master Electricians, Journeymen, Residential Wiremen, and Electrical Contractors across Texas with purpose-built protection that’s city-inspector-ready, GC-approved, and future-facing.
⚡️ We don’t just write policies — we engineer fortress-level protection around what keeps your business standing.
You’ve hauled your ladder across job sites from Plano to Laredo. You’ve pulled wire through attics in 110° heat. You’ve chased breakers that wouldn’t reset and met homeowners who panicked during outages.
You don’t cut corners. You don’t take shortcuts. And your insurance shouldn’t either.
At WorkersInsurance.com, we insure:
Based in Texas. Built for Texas. Trusted by electrical professionals who take pride in their name and their work.
✅ We make sure you meet contractual minimums, list your GC as an Additional Insured, and issue COIs that prove you’re job-ready.
Covers third-party injuries or property damage caused during electrical work. If a customer’s home suffers damage from faulty wiring, or a visitor trips over your extension cords on-site, General Liability pays for legal defense, settlements, and repair costs.
Texas Focus: Many commercial contracts — particularly in metro areas like Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin — require proof of $1M+ in liability coverage before you can begin work. GL is essential for residential rewires, commercial installations, and high-voltage industrial projects.
Protects employees — from apprentices to licensed journeymen — in case of on-the-job injuries. Pays for medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation services.
Texas Law: Unlike most states, Workers’ Comp is not mandatory for private employers in Texas. However, it is strongly recommended and often required by general contractors and municipalities as a condition of hire. Opting in provides critical protection against costly lawsuits through exclusive remedy provisions.
Your service vans, bucket trucks, and material haulers are not covered under personal auto insurance. Commercial Auto covers collision, theft, vandalism, and liability while transporting crew, tools, or materials to job sites.
Texas Reality: With long-distance travel between cities, highway speeds, and rural backroads in oil and agricultural areas, accident risk is high. Proper commercial auto coverage ensures your fleet is protected statewide.
Safeguards drills, conduit benders, testers, ladders, and specialty electrical gear against theft, loss, or accidental damage — whether in your workshop, locked in a vehicle, or at a job site.
Why It Matters in Texas: Tool theft is common on large construction sites and in unsecured rural staging areas. A stolen set of specialty gear can halt a project for days — this coverage ensures you’re back on the job quickly.
Covers tools, materials, and equipment in transit between job sites or stored temporarily in trailers, containers, or staging areas.
Example: You’re delivering high-end lighting and switchgear for a commercial build in Houston. Overnight, it’s stolen from your locked trailer. Inland Marine ensures you recover the value without project delays.
Protects against claims of professional mistakes — like faulty design, improper installation, or code violations — that result in financial loss or rework costs.
Texas Note: Increasingly required for large-scale commercial, industrial, and public projects, particularly when working with engineering teams or bidding for government contracts.
Required for many Texas cities and municipalities before issuing electrical permits. These bonds protect the public from financial harm caused by contractor misconduct or violations of local contracting laws.
Important: Bond amounts and requirements vary widely between Texas jurisdictions — from $5,000 in smaller towns to $25,000+ in larger cities like Houston or San Antonio.
Shields your business from cyber threats like ransomware or data breaches — crucial if you store project plans, client contracts, or billing information digitally.


To stay legal, land contracts, and sleep at night, every Texas electrician should have a protection plan built around:
✅ General Liability Insurance — Covers property damage, fire, or injuries caused by your work. Required by most GCs and clients before you even pull wire.
✅ Electrical Contractor’s Bond — Required in many cities and counties for licensing or permits. Common limits: $5K–$25K depending on jurisdiction.
✅ Workers’ Compensation or Occupational Accident — Not required by Texas law, but critical if you use labor or want to protect your income.
✅ Commercial Auto Insurance — Protects your truck, van, and equipment in transit. Personal policies won’t pay if you’re on the job.
✅ Tools & Equipment Coverage — Pays to replace stolen or damaged gear — from multimeters to Milwaukee kits to bucket trucks.
✅ Professional Liability (E&O) — Covers claims that arise from faulty designs, bad advice, or smart home integrations that go sideways.
✅ Inland Marine Coverage — Protects materials, supplies, and equipment in storage or between job sites.
In Texas, you’re not forced to buy all of this by law — but if you don’t have it, you’re playing a dangerous game with everything you’ve built.

🔒 With WorkersInsurance.com — you’re shielded. Let's Talk!

New electricians in Texas are often told “you don’t need insurance by law” — but that’s not the full picture. You may not be legally required to carry Workers’ Comp, but most cities, counties, GCs, and customers will refuse to work with you unless you have:
You’ll also need Commercial Auto if you’re driving to jobs in your work vehicle. And if you carry tools (you do), you need Tools & Equipment coverage so you’re not out thousands from theft or damage.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
Operating without coverage doesn’t just delay jobs — it can keep you locked out of the Texas construction economy. No insurance means:
🛡️ Solution:
We built the Texas Electrician Startup Pack to cover everything: local bonds, general liability, optional Workers’ Comp, and same-day COIs. It’s inspection-ready, permit-friendly, and designed to actually get you working.
This is one of the most common stress points for Texas sparkies. You land the job, but now the GC wants:
You call your broker… and they ghost you. Now you’re watching your payday vanish.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
Failing to provide a COI on time can get you cut from the job, blacklisted by the GC, or lose your payment even after you’ve started the work. If you fudge the paperwork, you’re risking fraud — and one uncovered claim could bankrupt you.
🛡️ Solution:
We issue custom COIs in hours, not days. Whether you need standard coverage or a contract-specific endorsement, we build it fast — formatted exactly how your GC wants it. Your deal won’t fall through the cracks because your insurance wasn’t ready.
This one hurts. Many Texas electricians don’t realize that General Liability does not cover tool theft — not from your van, not from your job trailer, not even from your shop. You need Inland Marine coverage (aka Contractor’s Equipment) for:
And that coverage needs to follow you on the road, not just sit at your business address.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
One break-in and you’re down $10K–$40K. That means:
🛡️ Solution:
We build every quote with tool protection already included, not tacked on later. Our Inland Marine policies cover theft, fire, vandalism, and transit damage — with realistic limits and no tricky exclusions. You work too hard to have it all stolen in one night.
It’s frustrating. One accident — a trip hazard, a faulty connection, a hurt helper — and suddenly your insurance company treats you like a high-risk case.
This is especially common if you were placed with a cookie-cutter policy that didn’t match your trade or workload. Now you’re stuck with limited options, higher deductibles, or non-renewals.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
You could be pushed into the non-standard market, which means:
🛡️ Solution:
We specialize in risk-tolerant placement — finding you carriers that understand the realities of the trade. We also help you:
We don’t just sell you a policy — we help you recover and grow.
Growth in Texas can happen fast — you land a school project, hire two more guys, add another van, or expand into service work. But most electricians don’t know when their insurance stops fitting their business.
You can’t afford to find out after a denied claim or contract rejection.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
If your policy doesn’t grow with you, you could:
🛡️ Solution:
We provide proactive coverage reviews — not just yearly renewals. As you scale, we walk you through:
🧠 We make sure your insurance is always a step ahead of your growth — not scrambling to keep up.
This is one of the most misunderstood issues in Texas. You’re not required to carry Workers’ Comp — but if someone gets hurt while working under you, guess who they’re suing?
Even if they’re a 1099, even if they signed a waiver, even if you paid them cash — Texas courts and juries often side with injured workers, not paperwork.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
Without proper coverage, you’re exposed to:
🛡️ Solution:
We offer hybrid coverage options like Occupational Accident or full Workers’ Comp — depending on how you operate. You can cover yourself, your crew, or both. We also help you verify subcontractor coverage so you’re not left holding the bag if something goes wrong.

Please reach us at coverage@workersinsurance.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes — especially in Texas. While the state doesn’t mandate insurance, the market does. You won’t get far without proof of General Liability and a Contractor’s Bond. Most GCs, cities, counties, and even homeowners want to see $1 million in liability coverage and a valid COI before they’ll hand you a job, approve your permit, or issue payment. One accident — even a burned outlet or broken tile — and you’re personally on the hook.
Even if you’re solo, one claim can wipe out your savings. Insurance isn’t just protection — in Texas, it’s permission to play.
Yes — and here’s why:
In Texas, many cities and counties require a bond (usually $5,000–$25,000) to maintain your electrical license or pull permits. They’re two totally different protections — and you need both to operate with credibility.
You need Inland Marine coverage — also known as Tools & Equipment Insurance. Your General Liability policy does not cover tool theft, damage, or loss. That means if your truck is broken into in a Home Depot parking lot, you’ll be out every dollar unless you have Inland Marine.
This coverage protects:
Whether your gear is in a van, trailer, storage unit, or jobsite lockbox — it’s covered. In Texas, where tool theft is a real epidemic, this is one policy you can’t afford to skip.
Not legally — but you’re still wide open to liability.
Texas doesn’t require Workers’ Comp, but if one of your 1099s falls off a ladder, you can still be sued as the responsible contractor. Courts often rule in favor of injured workers, regardless of their tax classification. If you directed the work, provided tools, or had a foreman on site — you’re probably liable.
The smart move? Carry Workers’ Comp or Occupational Accident Insurance to cover injury claims and protect yourself from devastating lawsuits. It’s not about what’s “required” — it’s about what’s worth losing.
You may get by for a bit — but the second something goes wrong, you’re completely exposed. Operating without insurance puts you at risk of:
Even one missed payment can cause a policy cancellation that leaves you uncovered. That’s why we build auto-renewal safeguards and renewal alerts into every policy.
Usually the same day, sometimes within hours. We specialize in working with electricians who have urgent COI needs — especially when a GC is breathing down their neck or a contract requires fast compliance.
Need Additional Insured, Waiver of Subrogation, or jobsite-specific language? We’ll get it formatted and filed immediately. No hold lines. No waiting days. Just done.
The minimum standard is $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate, but many commercial jobs, municipalities, and schools require $2M/$4M or higher. If you’re scaling up — hiring crews, taking on generator or solar installs, or bidding larger contracts — we often recommend pairing your base policy with an Umbrella policy to extend your limits without driving up your core premium. However, these are estimates and every policy is unique.
We’ll assess what’s required vs. what’s strategic for the jobs you want.
Absolutely. We insure first-time licensees and new contractors every day. You don’t need payroll history, employee rosters, or years of experience to get covered.
We’ll set you up with:
Our goal is to help you start clean, stay protected, and build credibility fast.
Yes — or at least an enhanced one.
Texas electricians doing solar arrays, battery backups, EV charging stations, or smart system installs face unique risks. These include:
You may need Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage, installation floaters, or expanded liability limits. If your work includes design, layout, or system programming, it’s critical to protect yourself from more than just wire-related losses.
Cheap quotes usually mean cheap protection. Here’s what’s often missing:
We audit every quote line by line, so you don’t end up with a false sense of security. You’ll know exactly what’s covered, what’s missing, and how to structure the smartest protection for your business — not just your budget.
You need real policies and smart contracts — not handshake deals. To protect yourself:
We’ll walk you through the full setup so your business isn’t wiped out by a helper’s bad luck or a missing form.
Yes — and you absolutely should.
Your policy should scale with your business, not lag behind it. Whether you’re:
We’ll update your limits, add endorsements, and issue updated COIs in real time. You’re never stuck in a one-size-fits-all box. We treat your insurance like a power system — modular, upgradeable, and always live.
