Equipment breakdown
Protection for essential systems and equipment
From production lines and medical imaging to heating and cooling, many systems and machinery provide crucial support for day-to-day business operations. Without the right insurance protection, an equipment outage or breakdown could disrupt a company’s ability to operate and result in significant financial losses.
Our equipment breakdown solutions, available as a package or stand–alone, provide essential coverage for losses related to damaged boilers, computers, telecom systems, diagnostic equipment, refrigeration systems, production machinery, and more.
A protective partnership
Solutions for complex risks
Companies count on us every day to help protect them against risks like power surges, short circuits, or other failures – unexpected events that can disable or destroy expensive, specialized machinery and systems. Our equipment breakdown solutions offer a broad shield of protection against costly equipment failure, including:
- Costs to repair or replace equipment
- Lost income if operations temporarily shut down
- Extra expenses to continue operating while equipment is being fixed
