Contract requirements you’ll see

What GCs and property managers ask mechanical contractors for.

Mechanical sub agreements and service contracts typically require:

  • Additional insured status for the GC and owner, including completed operations (often on CG 20 10 / CG 20 37 forms or their equivalents)
  • Primary & non-contributory wording, so your policy pays before theirs
  • Waiver of subrogation on GL, workers’ comp, auto and umbrella
  • Per-project aggregate so one job can’t use up the limit for every other job
  • Minimum limits — commonly $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate, plus an umbrella
  • Notice of cancellation to the certificate holder

Send us the insurance page of your contract

Before you sign, forward the insurance requirements (usually an exhibit or a paragraph titled “Insurance”). We’ll tell you what your current policies already meet, what needs an endorsement, and what it would cost to close the gap — before the GC’s risk manager rejects your certificate.

FAQ

HVAC contractor insurance questions.

Does my GL cover mold claims?
Many GL policies exclude or sharply limit mold and pollution. HVAC work touches both, which is why contractors pollution liability is worth reviewing.
I add trucks every summer. How do I keep my auto policy right?
Tell us as you add vehicles and drivers so they’re scheduled correctly. Driver lists and motor vehicle records drive auto pricing, so keep us updated before the busy season.
Why does my workers’ comp cost more than a friend’s HVAC company?
Class mix, payroll, and your experience mod all matter. A mod over 1.0 or payroll in a higher-rated class than necessary can add up. We review your mod worksheet for errors.
What’s the difference between the 24-hour review and a quote?
The review is a written report on the policies you already have, delivered within 24 hours of receiving your documents. If you want to shop, carrier quotes typically take 1–2 business days once underwriters have what they need.
