LendingTree.com Provides Tips on How to Save on Homeowner's Insurance

Charlotte, N.C. (PRWEB) March 13, 2008 -- As with most financial decisions, it pays to make an informed decision. When you are shopping for homeowner's insurance (http://www.lendingtree.com/smartborrower/Homeowners-insurance/Home-insurance-savings.aspx), keep the following ideas in mind and discuss them with a company representative.

How to compare policies - You may be tempted to focus on cost alone, and look for the cheapest rate you can find. But actually, being underinsured in the event of a disaster can be a much bigger expense than having adequate coverage, so don't skimp. Look for a reputable company with a good service record. Consider the deductible - the amount you have to pay out of pocket in a given year before the insurance benefits kick in. Usually, the higher the deductible, the lower the cost of the insurance; but be realistic about what you can afford to pay in the event of a claim.

Discounts for bundling policies - Some companies offer discounts if you have more than one policy with them, such as auto insurance in addition to your homeowner's policy (http://www.lendingtree.com/smartborrower/Homeowners-insurance/Homeowners-insurance-Protect-your-home-and-its-contents-.aspx). As you are shopping, add any discounts to your calculation and consider switching your auto insurance if that will save you money overall.

Discounts for new construction - See if your insurance company has a program for new construction (http://www.lendingtree.com/smartborrower/New-homes/New-home-construction.aspx), or if they'd be willing to give you a break on the price of your policy. A new home is less likely to need a maintenance claim since all its systems are new.

Safety and security discounts - The cost of a policy may go down with the addition of smoke detectors and burglar alarm, and the savings could be significant if you also have a sprinkler system and a monitoring service. But it's worth it to weigh the cost of a potentially expensive installation against the potential savings on insurance premiums.

Smoker's penalty - In addition to paying more for health insurance, smokers can pay more for homeowner's insurance too, since cigarettes account for more than 23,000 house fires a year. If you are a non-smoker - and no one else in your household smokes - ask about a discount.

Group coverage - Alumni and trade associations are attractive markets to insurance companies. Check with any associations that you are a member of to see if there are any discounts available to you.

Discounts for longevity - Some insurers reduce premiums to long-term customers.

Reassess your insurance annually - A great way to save money is to re-evaluate your insurance needs every year. For instance, check the policy limits on your possessions: if your policy covers significantly more than the value of your possessions, you may be paying too much.
