What Is Equipment Breakdown Insurance?

Equipment Breakdown Insurance (sometimes called Equipment Breakdown Coverage) is a specialized protection that steps in when vital mechanical, electrical, or pressurized systems fail due to sudden and accidental breakdown. Unlike standard property insurance—which usually covers damage from external causes like fire or storms—equipment breakdown coverage focuses on internal failures.

This type of policy may include protection for boilers, HVAC systems, refrigeration units, electrical panels, computers, production machinery, and even office equipment. When a breakdown occurs, the insurance can help cover the cost of repairs or replacement, lost income during downtime, and in some cases, spoilage of goods or extra expenses to keep your business operational. For Pennsylvania businesses relying on specialized tools or technology, this coverage can be a financial lifesaver.

Why Do Pennsylvania Businesses Need Equipment Breakdown Coverage?

Pennsylvania businesses—from small local shops to large manufacturing facilities—depend on complex systems to operate. Whether you run a family-owned restaurant in Lancaster, a printing shop in Scranton, or a manufacturing plant in Pittsburgh, a single equipment failure could lead to significant losses.

Many business owners assume their property policy will handle such issues, but traditional coverage usually excludes internal equipment malfunctions. Equipment Breakdown Insurance in Pennsylvania bridges that gap by providing tailored protection for today’s modern machinery and electronics. Beyond repair and replacement costs, it can help pay for business interruption, extra operating expenses, and even temporary solutions to keep your customers satisfied while repairs are underway.

  • Your Equipment Breakdown Coverage may include a wide variety of essential machinery and systems, such as:

    • Boilers and pressure vessels
    • Heating and air conditioning units
    • Electrical distribution systems
    • Refrigeration and cooling systems
    • Production and processing equipment
    • Communication and computer systems
    • Security and alarm systems
    • Point-of-sale (POS) and payment technology

     

    Because every business in Pennsylvania has unique needs, Shoemaker’s Insurance works closely with you to tailor a plan that reflects the size and scope of your operation. Whether you manage a single retail store or a multi-location enterprise, we make sure your coverage fits the equipment that keeps you running.

  • When a covered piece of equipment suddenly fails—such as a compressor burnout, electrical short, or mechanical rupture—you simply contact Shoemaker’s Insurance to file a claim. We’ll help coordinate the repair or replacement process, cover eligible costs according to your policy, and ensure your operations resume as quickly as possible.

    A typical Equipment Breakdown Insurance policy in Pennsylvania may include:

    • Repair or Replacement Costs: Covers the expense to fix or replace damaged equipment.
    • Business Income Loss: Compensates for lost revenue during downtime.
    • Spoilage and Product Loss: Helps cover perishable goods damaged by equipment failure.
    • Expedited Expenses: Pays for temporary solutions or rush repairs to limit interruption.
    • Data Restoration: May assist in recovering data lost from a power surge or system failure.

     

    This combination of coverage options can make the difference between a brief inconvenience and a prolonged business disruption.

  • At Shoemaker’s Insurance, we’ve been protecting Pennsylvania businesses for generations. Our team takes a hands-on approach—listening to your concerns, explaining your options in plain language, and helping you understand how Equipment Breakdown Coverage integrates with your existing policies.

    Here’s why clients across Pennsylvania trust us:

    • Local Expertise: We know Pennsylvania’s industries, from farming to manufacturing to hospitality.
    • Personalized Service: Our agents work directly with you to find affordable, comprehensive coverage.
    • Quick Claims Support: Fast, friendly assistance when you need it most.
    • Flexible Policies: Options that may include coverage extensions or endorsements to match your operation’s risks.

     

    We believe your insurance should work as hard as you do—helping you recover faster and protecting your bottom line when mechanical or electrical issues strike.

  • Your Equipment Breakdown Insurance works best when paired with your property, general liability, and business interruption policies. Think of it as the missing piece that covers internal equipment failure—something those other policies often exclude.

    For example, if a power surge damages your refrigeration units, a property policy might not pay for the repair. However, Equipment Breakdown Coverage can step in to handle the costs of fixing the unit, replacing spoiled inventory, and compensating for lost income. When integrated properly, this coverage can create a more complete safety net for your Pennsylvania business.

    Shoemaker’s Insurance agents will help you coordinate your policies, identify coverage overlaps, and ensure there are no costly gaps in protection.
