What Does GL Code 99650 Cover?

ISO GL class code 99650 is specifically designed for businesses engaged in the installation and repair of television and radio receiving sets. This classification encompasses contractors who provide on-site services for both residential and commercial clients, covering tasks such as mounting televisions, setting up audio systems, and resolving reception issues. It categorizes operations involving the physical handling, wiring, and configuration of electronic entertainment and communication equipment.

Who Uses This Class Code?

This code is applicable to a variety of businesses, including TV mounting services, home theater installation companies, car audio installation shops, and antenna installers. It also covers electronic repair technicians specializing in televisions and radios, as well as businesses focused on satellite dish installation and repair, and commercial audio-visual system setup for venues like bars or offices.

Common GL Claims for This Class

Common General Liability claims for this business type often involve property damage resulting from improper installation, such as inadvertently drilling into water pipes or electrical conduits, or damage to customer-owned equipment during handling or repair. Additionally, claims may arise from bodily injury to third parties caused by improperly mounted televisions falling or electrical shocks due to faulty wiring.

Coverage Tips for Code 99650

• Ensure your General Liability policy includes coverage for 'Installation Floater' or 'Builders Risk' to protect expensive equipment from damage during transit or on-site installation.
• Always verify that any subcontractors you hire carry their own General Liability insurance with sufficient limits and name your business as an additional insured to avoid potential coverage gaps.
• Familiarize yourself with Florida's specific licensing requirements for low-voltage electrical work, as non-compliance can lead to regulatory penalties and impact your insurance coverage.
• Maintain meticulous records of all projects, including signed contracts, detailed scopes of work, and completion certificates, which are crucial for defending against 'faulty workmanship' claims and during insurance audits.
