Computers

Equipment breakdown coverage can be written to insure office equipment, like computers, printers, and copiers.

Diagnostic equipment

For labs and physician settings, equipment breakdown insurance can cover diagnostic and other medical or testing equipment.

Pressure vessels

Coverage for damage, failure, or malfunction of pressure vessels may also include the costs of inspection, repair, or replacement.

Production machinery

Insurance for machinery breakdowns may be enhanced with extra expense coverage, which helps pay for renting equipment or facilities while your property is repaired or replaced.

Refrigeration and warming appliances

If your commercial oven, refrigerator, or freezer breaks down due to a covered cause, you will have help with repair or replacement costs and lost income. Spoilage of inventory, cultivars, or other refrigerated, frozen, or warmed products or specimens may also be covered.

Telecommunications systems

Costs of repair or replacement, as well as loss of revenue, due to a covered failure of your telecommunications system can be included in an equipment breakdown policy.
