Insurance with Elmhurst Energy
Free PI and PL insurance cover available when you lodge with Elmhurst Energy. Designed to provide peace of mind to our members and their clients.
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 in the Scheme Operating Requirements).
However, as an Elmhurst accredited member you won't need to spend time or money arranging third party PI and PL insurance to lodge reports and certificates, as this is included free of charge when you lodge with Elmhurst.
FREE Professional Indemnity (PI) and Public Liability (PL) Cover
Energy assessors can often find it difficult to win public contracts due to the level of cover required. However, Elmhurst members can benefit from increased PI and PL insurance cover which gives them the best chance of winning public sector contracts with local councils, government authorities and larger property developers.
£10m Professional Indemnity (PI)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 written advice or mistakes within energy calculations. Elmhurst's insurance policy covers you for up to £10,000,000 in a single claim, absorbing the legal costs and expenses in defending the claim, as well as compensation to rectify the mistake/s that have been made. |
£10m Public Liability (PL)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. The £10,000,000 cover available for Elmhurst members 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. |
