In addition, the property liability section of your policy will pay for damage you do to another person’s property. As an example, if your child puts a baseball through the neighbor’s window, your liability coverage will pay to replace the window.

Loss of Use: This coverage will help pay bills that you incur if you are not able to live in your home after it is damaged by a covered peril.

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.
