Installation Floater explained

Installation Floater explained

An installation floater is part of a commercial insurance policy that covers property installed, fabricated or erected by a contractor.

Normally the policy extends to cover the property/materials while in transit to the job site. To simplify, the policy covers materials or equipment to be installed at the job site as well as materials or equipment while in transit to the job site for installation. For example, let’s take an air-conditioning contractor installing a new air-conditioning unit.  The contractor picks up the unit from the supplier and drives it to the job site for installation.  On the way to the job site, the contractor’s vehicle is involved in an accident and the air-conditioning unit is damaged.  The damaged unit will be replaced by the contractor’s insurance company.  Another example, the contractor picks up a new air-conditioning unit from the supplier and delivers it to the job site without incident.  At the job site the contractor drops off the new unit and leaves for lunch.  Upon returning to the jobsite, he discovers that the unit’s been stolen. The stolen unit will be replaced by the contractor’s insurance company under the terms of the installation floater.

    I recently sent Ensurco an email requesting changes to my auto policy. I got a quick response. All the changes were completed in a timely manner and I received a detailed email with my billing schedule attached.

    I was in a time crunch to get an auto application done on a Friday afternoon as I was picking up a new car. I called my customer service rep at Ensurco and she was able to get me a quote, provide an application and even send confirmation to my dealer with a liability slip. Keep up the good work.

    As a high risk driver, I was looking for a good rate as well as good coverage. I spoke to an Ensurco broker who helped me set up a 6 month policy so that I can eventually move to a regular market at less premium. You guys came through when no one else cared.  Thank you so much for your help. :)

    When my son and I decided to travel to Calgary for a week, I called my broker at Ensurco who was able to provide me with great coverage at a really good price. I got my travel documents by email within 10 minutes. Exceptional timing!

    Claims service! Most people dread talking to an insurance company or broker to report a claim. But I recently called my insurance broker at Ensurco about a possible water damage claim. He was able to guide me through the process.  The decision was mine as to whether or not I would proceed with the claim.  If so, he explained that he could connect me directly with the insurance company adjuster and resolve the issue. Great advice and great service.  Thanks Ensurco!
