Not covered in the case of a flood??! Que? That's a bit of a stretch!

Only applicable if you installed a hydro plant. And you'd need a certified plumber for that on top of the electrician.
To clarify: You need a plumber as well The plumber does not need to literally be on top of the electrician, but there is a possible element of additional entertainment if he is.

My insurer simply asked for a copy of the CoC when the installation was completed. They did add the value of the equipment to the homeowners insurance. They were pretty on the ball.
