What Does Home Insurance Cover?
A basic home insurance policy through Joel Gonzales Agency may include:
- Dwelling Coverage: Dwelling coverage provides compensation for damage to the physical home and its attached structures caused by fire, wind, hail, lightning, smoke, theft, vandalism and more.
- Personal Belongings Coverage: Personal belongings coverage provides compensation for your personal items that are damaged or destroyed due to fire, lightning, smoke, theft, vandalism and more.
- Personal Liability: Liability insurance covers bodily injury and property damage someone else may suffer on your property. For example, if one of your children breaks a guest’s tablet, you could be held responsible for replacing it. Liability insurance can help with the cost and protect you from a lawsuit.
- Additional Living Expenses: Additional living expenses provide monetary assistance in case you have to temporarily move when the home is rendered uninhabitable after a disaster.
There are additional coverages as well, including higher limits of liability insurance. You may want additional policy floaters to cover your expensive items such as jewelry, furs and are.
What Does 80% Mean in Home Insurance?
When looking for home insurance, you may hear about the 80% rule. This rule applies to how much coverage you should carry in relation to your home’s total replacement cost value. If you carry les than 80% of your home’s total replacement cost value in home insurance, you could end up having gaps in your coverage when it comes time to file a claim.
The replacement cost value is not the same as your home’s market value. Instead, this price is how much it would cost to completely rebuild your home after a disaster, including material and building costs.
What is Smart Home?
Smart Home is a program offered by Nationwide that uses WiFi-enabled sensors which can be combined with security alarms or smoke alarms to provide early warnings of potential dangers. Entering the Smart Home program can not only give you peace of mind with extra protection, but it can save you money on your home insurance premiums and allows you to choose decides from an approved vendor.
