Saving on Connecticut Homeowners Insurance
Home Security: Many insurance companies will give a discount for smoke detectors, burglar alarms and dead-bolt locks. Some companies will also give a discount for sprinkler systems.
Good Credit Helps: Insurance companies are using credit scoring more and more to determine premium on homeowners insurance.
Rebuilding Costs: Many times people think they need to insure their house for the amount the amount purchased. This is not the case. If your house were to completely burn down, you would still have the land. Your agent will be able to help you calculate replacement cost of the house.
Increase Your Deductible: A deductible is the amount of money you pay on a loss before your insurance company pays for a claim. The higher you set your deductible, the more money you can save off the premium. Currently insurance companies recommend a minimum deductible of $500. Ask your agent how much you would save if you went with a $1000 deductible. A deductible is the portion of any claim that is not covered by an insurance provider.
Multi-Policy Discount: Consider purchasing auto and homeowners insurance from the same company as most companies will give a multi-line discount.
Understanding Credit: Did you know that most insurance companies today will run your credit report when calculating your premium for homeowners insurance? That's why it's so important to understand your credit score and how to improve it.
Private Insurance: If you live in a high-risk area and have been buying your insurance through a government plan, you should check with an insurance agent. You may find that there are steps you can take to buy insurance at a lower price in the private market.
