Cheap Home Owner Insurance -- Ways To Go About Getting Lower Rates

Published Wednesday, September 3, 2008 by bloggerblognet83280 | E-mail this post

Cheap home owner insurance is a possibility if you know what to do: There are tips you must understand and implement if you're truly keen on getting considerable discounts. Following are some of such things...

1. According to a report, about 1 out of every 3 liability claims (totaling a sum of $1 billion) each year are caused by dog bites. This should make it clear that if you've a dog or dogs your premiums will be higher than a person who doesn't. You can save yourself such high rates by making sure that your dogs are generally kept at locations where they can do visitors to your house or passersby no harm.

2. Installing a sprinkler will get you reasonable discounts. This is so because a sprinkler system does a fine job of putting off fires. It's slightly expensive so you'll do well to ask your agent what you'll save if you have this installed.

3. You'll be given a cheaper premium if you choose a higher deductible.

For folks who do not know what a deductible is, it is an amount you must pay if you file a claim before the insurer pays as defined in your policy terms. $250 appears to be the least deductible selectable in home insurance. By raising your deductible from $250 to $500 you'll probably realize savings of about 12%. If you opt to make it $1000 you could easily make savings of around 24 percent. What you'll get as savings for each deductible amount will differ depending on the insurer.

4. Folks seem to take more precaution against fire than water damage by not doing routine checks on their plumbing and upgrading as regularly as they should. Reports show that water damage is the most common claim on a homeowner's policy. Consequently, showing any insurance carrier that your home has little or no risk of water damage will result in a good discount. And do not forget to tell your agent if you improve your plumbing.

5. A typical vehicle garage has highly inflammable liquids. As a safety precaution, make sure your garage is a good distance from your residential structure and you'll likely enjoy a better rate.
