Does renters insurance cover AC units?
After many months of too-hot temperatures, I bought my air conditioner for my apartment. I’m glad I did because it works great, but it wasn’t cheap. Does renters insurance cover AC units?

I’d want to know my new purchase was covered, too! Air-conditioning units are commonly covered along with your other personal property under a standard renters insurance policy.
That is, as long as it’s yours (and you indicate you bought it), and as long as the cause of damage or loss is a
named peril
** in your policy, your AC should be covered.Named perils often include incidents like:
- Fire
- Theft
- Windstorms
- Short circuits
If the
air conditioner
was a built-in unit provided by your landlord, on the other hand, it would likely need coverage under their insurance.Here’s to staying comfortable and cool! If you need to update your renters insurance at any point,
