What Does Home Insurance in Waco, Texas cover?

Your basic homeowners insurance policy will cover the following:

  • The physical structure of your home
  • Your personal belongings
  • Replacement costs
  • Loss-of-use coverage
  • Liability

Your home insurance policy will cover all of these areas but only to a specific limit. Suppose you’re seeking additional coverage for things like art or jewelry collections or even more protection against water damages that aren’t covered in your policy. In that case, you’ll need to purchase supplemental or add-on policies to close any gaps in coverage. Popular policy add-ons in Waco, Texas, include:

  • Scheduled personal property
  • Valuable Articles/Floater policies (Ex. jewelry insurance)
  • Umbrella insurance (Additional liability coverage)
  • Animal liability
  • Flood insurance (Flood damage is NOT covered under home insurance)
  • Water backup coverage (Water damage due to a backed-up sewer line)

Comparing the Average Cost of Home Insurance in Waco, Texas by Dwelling Coverage

While appreciating home values is excellent for homeowners, it often means higher insurance premiums. One thing that is important to differentiate between is the overall value of the property, which includes the land, and the cost to replace the house, which is what is essential for insurance purposes. The key between being over-insured, over-paying, and having the right coverage is staying informed and shopping your policy. If you are at all feeling overwhelmed or want someone else to do the heavy-lifting, our agents are always ready to jump in.

So what does this all look like?

Let’s look at the average premium for a home in Waco, TX, with an estimated replacement cost of $150,00. For purposes of this example, we are assuming 0 claims in the past five years, a house that is 10-34 years old, and that the person seeking insurance owns the home (versus rents it) and has average credit.

Source: The overall average premium is $1,875. The table below looks at the average premiums when we sort the carriers by AM Best Ratings.

AM Best ratingEstimated Cost / Year with Wind
A-$1,487
A+$1,718
A++$1,948

These averages are from quotes provided by HelpInsure.com of Texas Department of Insurance and are grouped by carrier averages by AM Best Ratings.

Now, if you increase the estimated house replacement cost to $200,000 but leave all other factors the same, your overall average premium increases by $373 to $2,248. Again, the table below looks at the average premiums when we sort the carriers by AM Best Ratings.

AM Best ratingEstimated Cost / Year with Wind
A-$1,755
A+$2,007
A++$2,492

Keep in mind that this example looks at just one factor’s role in your home insurance premium price- there are several other factors at play.
