Ex Air Con and Commercial Risk Areas

Large commercial plumbing and heating claims can affect tenants, trading areas, stock, production lines, plant rooms, public buildings and client deadlines. Contract conditions, hot works permits, shutdown planning, risk assessments, subcontractor controls and completed-operations wording can all matter.

Air conditioning, HVAC and refrigeration work should be declared separately if undertaken, because excluding air con from the trade description means those activities should not be assumed to be covered.

Insurer Questions

  • Is all air conditioning installation, service and repair excluded?
  • What percentage of work is large commercial?
  • What is the split between plumbing, heating, gas and related work?
  • Do you undertake hot works, height work, confined-space work or design responsibility?
  • What contract values, tools, plant, stock, materials and subcontractors are involved?

Contracts, Permits and Site Rules

Commercial clients may require higher liability limits, evidence of employers' liability, contract works, hot works controls, method statements, risk assessments and named activities before site access is approved.

Keep the Air Con Exclusion Clear

If the business later starts HVAC, air conditioning or refrigeration work, the policy should be reviewed before that work begins so the trade description stays accurate.
