Industry Overview: Mechanical Contracting in Texas
The DFW Metroplex is booming with commercial and industrial projects — hospitals, data centers, warehouses, and mixed-use facilities all requiring specialized HVAC and mechanical systems.
For contractors, that means opportunity — and exposure. Equipment breakdowns, installation errors, and project delays can trigger costly claims if insurance isn’t built to match the scale and scope of your work.
EIS-Texas partners with HVAC and mechanical firms across Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving, Plano, Garland, and Arlington, delivering coverage that aligns with your real-world risks — from design-build projects to ongoing service contracts.
Core Risks & Exposures
HVAC and mechanical contractors face multifaceted risks that require more than off-the-shelf coverage.
-
Installation & System Failure – Faulty design or setup causing property damage or temperature loss.
-
Equipment Breakdown – Loss of tools, compressors, or refrigerant handling systems.
-
Refrigerant & Environmental Liability – Chemical leaks or EPA compliance issues.
-
Workers’ Compensation – Crew injury risk from confined spaces or rooftop exposure.
-
Contractual Liability – Broad indemnification obligations in commercial contracts.
-
Fleet & Auto – Vans and trucks traveling between multiple DFW job sites daily.
-
Subcontractor Management – Ensuring proper coverage for plumbing, electrical, or ductwork subs.
