Homeowners insurance comes in a variety of different policy types and each one is designed to protect a specific type of house. Here are just a few policy examples:

HO-3: This policy type is the most common homeowner policy and is considered the standard for most houses. It protects against damage from all perils except those specifically excluded in the policy wording. All standard homeowner policies exclude flood and earthquake damage so if you live in a high-risk area for flooding you will need a flood insurance policy, which we can help you find.

HO-5: An HO-5 is considered a more upscale policy that offers broader coverage than an HO-3. These policies are usually only available on newer, high-end homes. One of the major differences is the fact that your personal property (your possessions) are covered against all perils while an HO-3 does limit damage (to your posssessions) to specially named perils. In most cases, an HO-5 policy is significantly more expensive.

H0-6: If you live in a condo or co-op building, this is the type of policy you will need. It protects the structural portions of your unit that you actually own as well as your personal belongings. It also provides liability insurance in the event someone is injured in your condo or co-op. This type of policy only protects against the perils listed in the policy.

If your homeowners insurance premium has increased recently, it may be time to shop your premium around. We have helped thousands of homeowners find a new policy and our quoting process lets you compare rates and coverage levels from the comfort of your own home.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
