General liability insurance protects electricians when a third party claims bodily injury or property damage from your operations. Cali-Fast structures limits and endorsements to match contract requirements—not oversized packages you do not need.

Faulty workmanship on your own work product is generally excluded; completed operations coverage may apply after job finish depending on policy form.
