Although you can make savings by reducing your coverage, it is not advisable if it compromises you and yours. You can, however, easily pay much less without reducing the quality of your coverage if you know and implement the right tips. Let's go deeper into this...
1. Some security and fire systems are monitored round the clock. Not only will you get a huge discount, you will as well feel more secured once you remember that your house is always monitored. This can lower your premium by more than 25% depending on your insurance provider.
2. Your home's risk perception is seriously affected by your claims history. Stop filing claims for every little thing as it will make your home a higher risk. You will get a more expensive premium as a consequence of this bigger risk perception.
Do NOT make a claim if it's a matter you can handle with relative ease. This will help you maintain a low rate for long.
3. You will as well enjoy a discount if you have motion-sensitive lighting on your property. Burglars will avoid any place where their activities will be easily spotted. And motion-sensitive lighting does this exactly. Because thieves avoid houses with such lighting, you reduce your home's risk of burglary and, by extension, your premiums.
4. Raise your deductible.
A deductible is an amount a policyholder must pay before his/her insurance company becomes bound by law to fulfill the terms of their policy. $250 is usually the smallest deductible offered in West Virginia home owner's insurance. You might easily get a discount of around twelve percent on your rates if you raise your deductible from this minimum to $500. You can make savings of about 24% if you opt to raise yours to $1000. Some insurers may offer more or less therefore ask your agent before you finalize your choice..
5. Endeavour to have fire extinguishers at important points in your home. If you do NOT have any other place, ensure that your kitchen has one. It's important that the fire extinguisher be adequate for the point it is meant to protect.
A fire extinguisher is only beneficial if it can be reached and as well functions well. So make sure it's in its best condition and within easy reach. This will help lower your West Virginia home owner insurance premium.
6. While you take other steps to cut down your home premium, here's what to do to receive lower rates now. Visit good insurance quotes sites and get quotes. Visit at least five of such for the best results. It's free, quick and easy.
However, ensure you give your correct details as you fill the questionnaires on each site. The last step is to simply pick the offer that represents the best price/value from the quotes you receive.
