Guarding Your Business from Unexpected Equipment Failures

Equipment Breakdown Insurance protects your business from damage to equipment and machinery caused by outside risks like fire and flood. However, it does not cover issues such as wiring problems, short circuits, or mechanical failures. These malfunctions can stop your operations and lead to high repair or replacement costs.

You rely on your equipment daily, whether it’s HVAC systems, computers, refrigeration units, or production machinery. When a crucial piece of equipment fails, it can stop operations and cause significant financial strain.

Equipment Breakdown Insurance helps pay for repair or replacement when mechanical, electrical, or pressure system failures occur. This keeps your business running smoothly and reduces downtime.

This coverage fills the gaps that standard property insurance doesn’t cover. Property policies usually exclude internal equipment failures, and that’s where this protection is helpful.

Commonly covered items include:

  • HVAC and electrical systems
  • Computers and communication equipment
  • Production and manufacturing machinery
  • Refrigeration systems
  • Boilers and pressure vessels
  • Point-of-sale and office technology

Types of Failures Typically Covered

  • Electrical arcing
  • Mechanical breakdowns
  • Power surges
  • Operator error
  • Pressure system failures

These incidents can impact everything from your ability to serve customers to meeting production deadlines. This coverage helps you recover more quickly.

If your business relies on machinery or electrical equipment, you need this protection. This includes:

  • Restaurants and commercial kitchens
  • Retail stores and supermarkets
  • Manufacturing units
  • Office-based businesses
  • Schools and institutions
  • Healthcare facilities

Even a minor issue with systems like refrigeration or heating can lead to significant losses both financially and operationally.

Your Equipment Breakdown policy can help cover:

  • Repair or replacement costs for damaged equipment
  • Lost income due to equipment failure
  • Additional expenses to continue operations while equipment is being repaired
  • Spoiled inventory, such as food or pharmaceuticals
  • Data recovery from damaged electronics

This provides peace of mind, knowing you won’t be caught off guard when critical systems go down.
