Licensed vs. Unlicensed Contractors

Apr 16, 2017 | Edwards Air Conditioning

Why Using a Licensed Contractor is Best

Using Licensed Contractors

Imagine your air conditioner breaks. As you debate who to call to take on the job, remember using licensed contractors always is best. While you know you could always hire an unlicensed contractor and save a few dollars, hiring a contractor who is not bonded or insured is not a risk you want to take. In addition, what you think may save you money may end up costing a whole lot more than you could have bargained for. Most importantly, it is highly recommended that you hire an appropriately licensed, insured and bonded contractor.

Liability Insurance

Contractors should carry both liability insurance and worker’s compensation. Liability insurance protects you, the homeowner in the event the contractor causes damage to your home or property. A standard homeowner’s policy will probably not cover in-home employees. Liability insurance protects against bodily injury by providing coverage if someone you employ is injured or worse by providing medical care for the injured and covering any legal defense you may need. It can provide coverage to any projects left unfinished or that have caused damage.

Worker’s Compensation

Worker’s compensation will cover any injuries a contractor may experience while working on your home. While your homeowner’s policy may cover the cost of these claims, it can also raise your premiums or prevent you from getting future coverage.

Bonding

Bonding is quite different from insurance. While insurance covers injuries and damages, bonding guarantees that your contractor will complete the work promised.
