Connecticut Home Insurance: Review Your Insurance Coverage

Answer just one question.  How long has it been since you evaluated your Connecticut home insurance policy?  If has been longer that one year then it’s been too long.   Are you aware that as the cost of living increases that the replacement cost of rebuilding your home goes up as well.  That means that the replacement value of your home that was stated on your policy 2 years ago is undervalued  and should there ever come a time that you would need to rebuild due to a catastrophe your insurance coverage would not cover the complete cost.  In addition to your deductible you would have to come up with the balance that your insurance company would not cover and in some cases that just isn’t an option.  What would you do in that situation?  How would you pay for the balance, what if you couldn’t cover all the costs associated with rebuilding?  That would be a very difficult place to be in.  Don’t let this scenario happen to you.  Contact your Connecticut home insurance agent and review your policy and make the changes that will give you peace of mind.

In addition to increasing your insurance coverage due to the increase of building materials, there are a few more things you may want to look at that will give you the best coverage and may even lower your premium rate.

*  When shopping around for home insurance coverage start with a company that will offer a discount for multiple coverage.

*  You may want to consider installing a security protection system.  This could net you a 20% savings on your policy rate.

*  You may want to consider increasing your deductibles so that your premium rate will be lower on a monthly basis.

*  If you purchase an existing home you can upgrade certain items that would make you eligible for a discount on your policy.
