NICEIC, NAPIT & ELECSA Electrical Installer Insurance | Electrical Contractor Cover | SRS Insurance

SRS Insurance provides specialist insurance for electrical installers registered with NICEIC, NAPIT and ELECSA. Tailored cover for electrical contractors, domestic installers, renewable energy installers, EV charger installers and testing & inspection specialists.

NICEIC, NAPIT & ELECSA Electrical Installer Insurance

SRS Insurance specialises in providing scheme-compliant, trade-specific insurance for electrical contractors registered with:

  • NICEIC (Certsure)
  • NAPIT Electrical Installers
  • ELECSA (Certsure)
  • Stroma (legacy)
  • Blue Flame / BESCA (electrical)

Electrical installation is a high-risk, compliance-driven trade where the wrong insurance can put your business, reputation and scheme registration at risk.

We provide specialist electrical installer insurance designed for domestic installers, commercial electricians, renewable installers and testing engineers.

Why Electrical Installers Need Specialist Insurance

Electrical contractors face unique risks that standard tradesman policies often exclude or undervalue.

We frequently find serious gaps in policies such as:

Common problems we see

  • Exclusions for testing, inspection or certification
  • No cover for electrical design or system specification
  • Incorrect limits for commercial electrical work
  • Exclusions for EV charger installations
  • No PI for installation certificates, EICRs or reports
  • No cover for employers’ or labour-only subcontractors
  • “No work at height” exclusions affecting solar PV jobs
  • No cover for fires caused by electrical faults
  • Restrictions on commercial, industrial or 3-phase work

This can lead to:

  • Failed NICEIC/NAPIT audits
  • Invalidation of self-certification
  • Declined claims
  • Legal exposure for fire, shock or system failure
  • Contract loss with main contractors or councils

Electrical work is high-liability — you need insurance that matches your technical risk.
