What Goes Into Your Haltom City, TX Home Insurance Quote?
Every home and the contents they hold are unique, making your home insurance quote unique from any other home including your neighbors’. Many different factors go into crafting your home insurance quote that you are in control of and many other factors that affect your quote that are beyond your control. Take a look at these factors and the components that make up your home insurance quote below:
Homeowners insurance is made up of six major components:
- Dwelling coverage is there to cover the cost of rebuilding your home based on its current value instead of based on its purchase price should you suffer a loss.
- Other structures coverage helps protect detached garages, fences, sheds, etc. that are a part of your property, yet they are separate from your home.
- Personal property coverage protects the contents of your home including personal items such as appliances, electronics, furniture, jewelry, and other valuables (limits will apply).
- Loss-of-use coverage is there to help homeowners get back on their feet in the event their home becomes unlivable due to a covered peril and they are forced to vacate. A great example of this would be using your policy to help cover food expenses and a hotel room while staying there as your home is being rebuilt after a fire.
- Liability coverage protects homeowners from lawsuits by helping them cover the costs of legal expenses. Your policy must be sufficient with an amount large enough to cover the value of your assets, finances, and the value of your home.
- Medical payments coverage is there to protect homeowners should someone become injured while visiting their home or would require medical assistance. While the members of your household are exempt from this coverage, standard policies usually come with $5,000 in protection for others.
Homeowners who lack the right coverage run the risk of restoring their losses out-of-pocket. Many risk factors go into crafting your premium, not all of which you can control. The bottom line is that insurance companies will create your monthly premium after determining the risk they will take on while insuring your home. Learn more about these risks here:
- Your home’s location and the perils that affect it (Ex. windstorms and flash floods).
- The crime rate in your area.
- The age of your home. (Homes that are 40 years old or old carry more risk)
- Your credit score. (The higher your score, the lower your premium)
- Your claims history. (A higher frequency of claims can result in a higher premium)
- Attractive nuisances. (Ex. trampolines)
There are some home improvements that homeowners can do to help lower their home insurance premiums. This includes installing a home security system, stocking your home with fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and having deadbolts on your doors are all ways to keep your home safer all while lowering your home insurance rate. Every insurance carrier assesses the risks of insuring your home differently for this reason, and others, it is always advised that homeowners speak with their insurance agent to learn the best steps they can take when taking efforts to lower their home insurance premiums!
