Home insurance can be expensive, but you can save hundreds of dollars a year on your premium by spending just a few minutes shopping rates. Here’s how …
Understand What’s Covered
You want to understand what a home insurance policy covers so you know how much coverage to get. Here’s what it covers:
Your home – Your home insurance pays to rebuild or repair your home after it’s been damaged by fire, water leaks, vandalism, lightning, frozen pipes, ice, snow, and storms. Standard policies do not cover damage done by floods or earthquakes, but you can buy additional coverage for those disasters through your insurer.
Your possessions – It pays to replace your personal possessions after they’ve been stolen or damaged by vandalism, fire, water leaks, lightning, frozen pipes, ice, snow, and storms. Standard policies limit coverage for expensive items like jewelry, antiques, and furs, but you can purchase additional coverage for these items through your insurer.
Your assets – It pays for liability claims and your legal fees when you’re found liable for injuring someone, like if they slip and fall on your property. Standard policies include $100,000 worth of liability coverage, but you can purchase more coverage if you have a lot of assets you want to protect from a lawsuit.
Additional living expenses – It pays for your additional living expenses, such as motel and restaurant bills, when your home is being repaired and you need a place to stay.
Shop Online
Shopping for home insurance online is the quickest and easiest way to compare prices and get the best rate.
Now, thanks to insurance comparison websites, you can get quotes from a number of different companies without having to go from one company website to the next and fill out one form after another. You just fill out one simple questionnaire to get multiple quotes from A-rated companies. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s free. (See link below.)
Money Saving Tips
Once you’ve chosen the company with the best rate, you can lower your premium even further by following these tips:
Insure only your home – Don’t insure your home based on it’s market value which includes the value of your land. Find out how much it would cost to rebuild your home from a local builder or real estate agent, then insure your home for that amount.
Raise your deductible – Raising your deductible, the amount you pay toward a claim before your insurer will pay, can save you a bundle. For instance, raising your deductible from $250 to $2,500 can save you up to 35% on your premium.
Install security and safety devices – Installing a burglar alarm, dead-bolt locks, window locks, smoke detectors, and security lights, can save you 5% to 20% on your premium.

Here you can compare quotes from different companies
Mine was $200 per square foot. But that has NO bearing on your potential costs!!
If you don't trust your agent did it right, find a new agent. If you don't trust that ANY agent will do it right, hire a contractor to give you a written estimate. OR, there are companies out there who will, for a fee, give you a calculation.
For home insurance the best way to get a great quote is do a policy comparison on home policies. Make certain that you compare similar options with the same deductibles, home type, location, etc so that all things are a good comparison.
What I always recommend is an online comparison quote at
http://best-home-insurance-comparator-usa.blogspot.com/
since they have top name home insurers and can give several quotes on home insurance polices.
You need to change or they will not pay if you have a claim. Holes are not covered, neither is most tenant damage. But, you still need fire damage, weather, etc etc.
Also, if you are going to allow animals check your policy, they are not likely to cover your property if you allow any dangerous animals.

He’s such an annoying cunt.
Well, because not all insurance companies write in all states. And, if you're in Akron, have a 10 year old brick house with $200,000 cost to rebuild, the company that's probably going to be cheapest for you, would NOT be cheapest on a 50 year old frame house in Medina that costs $200,000 to rebuild.
The company that's cheaper for someone with a lower credit score, might not be cheaper for houses valued under $150,000.
Here are the rating factors, besides insurance limit, that influence pricing the most:
Claims history – both yours and the house
Protection class
Age of the house
Types of Updates
Construction Type of the house
Credit Score
ANY ONE of these factors, can skew the "best rate" from one company to another, or a third. Each company choose it's OWN "target market" – the kinds of houses they WANT to write, and then price their policies accordingly.
So, you CANNOT get an answer that's valid for everyone. Just like, what size jeans do I need? Just because one size fits YOU best, doesn't mean it will fit me AT ALL.
There is no short cut. To find the cheapest for you, you have to shop around. SOME state insurance websites, will give you a 'generic' price comparison – but those prices are subject to underwriting, and when you CALL for those prices, you'll likely find that they are for a condition that you DON'T have with your particular house.
And, FYI, all those online comparison websites, they harvest your personal information to sell to agents as leads. Even the auto/life ones. Their numbers aren't accurate, either.
Bloody hell, this is more annoying than the Go Compare adverts!

Hope this help,
It has more risk than the Home
OMG i love that meerkat!!
I've found that there are a ton of websites that claim to do this but they really don't. One service called eSurnace.com claims to have the lowest rates but every single plan that they were pitching cost much more than if you just bought it from the company directly.
A much better way of going about this is checking with ratings sites such as Standard and Poors and AM Best. Then pick a company with an A rating or higher. Remember that services are usually cheap for a reason. Focus on value instead.
SERGIE BUBBLES LOL

"Homeowners insurance" covers the owners dwelling [house/garage] and contents [owners personal property on the premises]. "Owner" [landlord if he is the owner] takes out this policy and is responsible for the premiums. If building is leased or rented out, it does NOT cover tenants personal property, such as furniture, electronics, etc, or even tools borrowed from a neighbor.
"Renters insurance" covers the tenants personal property only. They take out this policy and pay the premiums.
Home owners policies cover every circumstance EXCEPT what is listed in writing, or "exemptions". These are normally: floods [obtain this through FEMA], home businesses losses [such as a fire in a residential garage being used as auto repair business], or anything else that is listed in writing. If your house up in Alaska gets stampeded by purple elephants, and it is NOT listed as an exclusion, it WILL be covered.
this is one of the best advert I ever watch!
it’s “listen ter jingle” not “da”
LOVE IT
i love it what is better than that
