Your home is likely your most valuable asset. Home insurance helps protect your investment by covering damage to your property and personal belongings.
What Does Home Insurance Cover?
Dwelling Coverage
Dwelling coverage pays for repairs or rebuilding of your home if it’s damaged by covered perils like fire, wind, or theft.
Personal Property Coverage
This coverage protects your belongings inside and outside your home, including furniture, electronics, clothing, and more.
Liability Coverage
If someone is injured on your property or you accidentally damage someone else’s property, liability coverage helps pay for their medical expenses and legal costs.
Additional Living Expenses
If your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, this coverage helps pay for temporary housing and other living expenses.
Steps to Protect Your Home
- Conduct a home inventory - Document all your possessions with photos and receipts to ensure accurate coverage.
- Maintain your home - Regular maintenance helps prevent damage and may help you get better insurance rates.
- Install safety features - Smoke detectors, security systems, and deadbolts can reduce your premiums.
- Review your coverage annually - As your home’s value increases, update your policy to ensure adequate coverage.
- Ask about bundling - Combining home and auto insurance often results in significant discounts.
