Why a personal policy is not enough
Most HVAC shops run a fleet of service vans that are on the road every day. Each van should be on a commercial auto policy, and the equipment inside is usually insured separately under an inland marine (tools and equipment) policy.
California's private passenger minimums are 30/60/15 (since January 1, 2025); most GCs require $1 million combined single limit on commercial auto.
Checklist
- Confirm additional insured and waiver wording your GC needs
- List every driver, including new hires
- Consider uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Schedule every truck, van and trailer titled to the business

Frequently asked questions
Does my personal auto policy cover my work truck in Manhattan Beach?
Usually not if the truck is titled to the business or used mainly for work; personal policies commonly exclude business use.
Does GL cover water damage from a condensate leak?
Damage to a customer's property caused by your completed work is generally a GL completed-operations question. Policy wording and exclusions vary, so we compare them before you buy.
