What is homeowners insurance?
Homeowners insurance covers more than just your home. It also covers your personal possessions and protects you from personal liability lawsuits. Here's what it covers:
* Your home - Homeowners coverage pays to repair or rebuild your home after it's been damaged or destroyed by storms, fire, plumbing leaks, and vandalism. Damage from flooding or earthquakes is not covered under standard policies, so if you live in an area where you need these coverages you must purchase them separately.
* Your personal property - Homeowners insurance will replace your personal property, such as clothes, furniture, appliances, and electronics, when they're stolen or when they're damaged by fire, vandalism, storms, and plumbing leaks. Expensive items like jewelry or computers may not be covered under standard policies, but you can increase your coverage on these items if you need to.
* Your assets - If someone hurts himself on your property and sues you, your homeowners policy will pay damages awarded to him by the court, plus your legal fees and court costs.
* Your additional living expenses - If your home is damaged or destroyed and needs to be repaired or rebuilt, you'll be compensated for your additional living expenses (hotel bills, restaurant bills, etc.) if you need to live elsewhere.
How can I save money on my homeowners policy?
The best way to save money on your homeowners policy is to find a reliable company with cheap rates. You can do this quickly and easily by going to an insurance comparison website where you can get rate quotes from different A-rated companies. (See link below).
After you've found a company with cheap rate, you can lower your premium even further by raising your deductible. For example, by raising your deductible from $500 to $1,000 you'll save up to 25% on your insurance premium. Raising it to $2,500 will save you up to 35%.
