Elmhurst Standard Member Cover
As a trained and qualified energy assessor who is accredited with a government approved accreditation scheme, you will need to arrange Professional Indemnity (PI) and Public Liability (PL) insurance in order to cover the work you do as an Energy Assessor (something which is stated within the Scheme Operating Requirements).
However unlike other schemes, Elmhurst accredited members will be automatically covered for the lodgement of their reports and certificates through our systems.

Professional Indemnity insurance is there to cover you in the unlikely event that a mistake or error has been made when carrying out work for a customer. This could include incorrect advice or mistakes within energy calculations. Elmhurst’s insurance policy will absorb the legal costs and expenses in defending the claim, as well as compensation to rectify the mistake/s that have been made.
Accidents happen, however Public Liability insurance can cover personal injury or property damage claims made against you or your business by members of the public. Elmhurst’s member insurance policy can cover the compensation and legal expenses incurred by the claims process.
As energy assessors regularly interact with members of the public there is a greater risk of claims being made, which is why it is important to have this insurance in place.
