Titled 'Ohio HVAC Insurance: Protecting Heating & Cooling Contractors from Costly Risks,' the resource addresses the unique insurance needs of heating and cooling professionals, covering topics from general liability to workers' compensation and inland marine coverage.
According to Ryan Ingram, Principal Agent of the agency, HVAC contractors face a broad range of risks including electrical hazards, refrigerant handling, jobsite injuries, and tool theft.
