Most business owners think of commercial insurance in terms of fire, theft, or liability claims, but there’s another risk that catches many McKinney businesses off guard: equipment breakdown. Amity Insurance Group works with local business owners who are often surprised to learn that a failed HVAC system, a malfunctioning oven, or a broken piece of office equipment isn’t automatically covered under standard commercial property insurance.<\/p>\n
Commercial property insurance is typically built to respond to external events like fire, storms, or vandalism. Mechanical or electrical failure from within the equipment itself, such as a motor burning out or a compressor malfunctioning, often falls outside what a standard property policy is designed to cover. This distinction catches many business owners off guard the first time equipment fails unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
Equipment breakdown coverage is designed specifically to address these internal mechanical and electrical failures. This can include HVAC systems, refrigeration units, kitchen equipment, computer systems, and specialized machinery. Beyond repair or replacement costs, this coverage often extends to lost income and spoiled inventory resulting from the breakdown itself.<\/p>\n
Equipment failures don’t always announce themselves in advance, and the resulting downtime can affect revenue just as significantly as physical property damage. Reviewing whether equipment breakdown coverage is included, or needs to be added, helps ensure a McKinney business isn’t caught off guard by a gap most owners don’t realize exists. Amity Insurance Group helps business owners throughout McKinney, TX evaluate this often-overlooked piece of their commercial insurance strategy.
