Frequently asked questions

Am I responsible for an explosion linked to a gas installation that I made?
Yes, you may be held liable. Given the severity of the consequences, the guarantee of completed work and a high limit are essential.
Does my gas certification replace insurance?
No. Certification (competency) and insurance (financial responsibility) are distinct. Both are required by the clients and the regulations.

The premium varies depending on your sales, the number of employees, your specific activities, your claims history and the limits chosen. As an indication, the civil liability of a small contractor is often between $500 and $1,800 per year, but the exact premium is established after analyzing your file. Comparing several insurers remains the best way to get a fair price.
What insurance is needed for a gas installer in Quebec?
The law does not impose civil liability on all companies, but your clients, clients and the Régie du bâtiment almost always require it. If you have employees, registration with the CNESST is mandatory.
Does my home insurance cover my business if I’m self-employed?
No. A home insurance policy excludes commercial activities. You need separate business insurance to cover your liability, tools, and professional equipment.
Am I covered if one of my employees is injured on a construction site?
Employees’ occupational injuries are covered by the CNESST’s public plan, to which you must contribute. Instead, your business insurance covers your liability to third parties as well as your property.
