## How it works

- **List the equipment you depend on.** Tell us about refrigeration, heating and cooling, electrical, communications and production equipment. Your Spot team asks which failures would stop you.
- **Add values and what depends on them.** We note what each machine would cost to repair or replace, and the stock or work that relies on it.
- **Brokers take it to market.** We work with brokers to request equipment breakdown proposals, and follow up on questions about your equipment.
- **Compare more than the repair bill.** See which proposals include lost income, extra expense, spoilage and utility interruption, with their limits and waiting periods.

## What you’ll need

- **Equipment inventory.** Heating and cooling, refrigeration, electrical, communications and production equipment you rely on.
- **Value of each item.** What it would cost to repair or replace.
- **Critical systems.** Which failures would stop operations, and for how long.
- **Stock at risk of spoilage.** Refrigerated or temperature-sensitive inventory.
- **Utility dependence.** How much your operations rely on outside power and other utilities.
- **Lost income exposure.** What a stoppage would cost you each day, to compare against interruption and extra-expense coverage.
- **Current property coverage.** Your expiring terms, since a property limit doesn’t automatically cover equipment failure.

## What affects your price

- **Equipment value and type.** More valuable, more complex machines cost more to insure.
- **Dependence on equipment.** Operations that stop entirely when a machine fails have more exposure.
- **Add-ons such as spoilage.** Spoilage and utility interruption protection add to the cost.
- **Deductible and waiting period.** A higher deductible or longer waiting period can lower the premium.
- **Limits.** Higher limits for repair, income and extra expense cost more.

## Common questions

### Isn’t equipment failure covered by my property policy?

Don’t assume it is. We compare the property causes of loss with the separate breakdown protection in each quote.

### Does it cover lost income while a machine is down?

Only if interruption or extra-expense coverage is included, subject to limits and deductible. We check this per proposal.

### Does it cover spoiled stock?

Spoilage protection has to be included, and it may have its own limit or waiting period.

### Can my broker add this to my property coverage?

Possibly. Spot works alongside brokers and takes no commissions on premiums, and we compare breakdown coverage with your property terms.
