Covers costs to repair or replace equipment that suffers sudden mechanical or electrical breakdown. Addresses internal failures that property insurance typically excludes.
Replaces lost income when equipment failure forces you to suspend or reduce operations. Covers the financial impact of downtime, not just repair costs.
Covers loss of perishable goods when refrigeration or climate control equipment fails. Essential for restaurants, grocery stores, medical facilities, and any business storing temperature-sensitive products.
Pays additional costs to maintain operations during equipment repairs, including temporary equipment rental, overtime labor, and expedited shipping for replacement parts.
Covers losses when equipment failure at a utility company or service provider interrupts your operations, even though the breakdown didn't occur at your location.
Covers costs to clean up hazardous materials released due to equipment breakdown, such as refrigerant leaks or chemical spills from failed equipment.
