There are many ways to make your buildings much safer. In addition to being a lower insurance risk, you can add value to your home structure in terms of its net worth in today's marketplace.
2. Home owners often may not know all the discounts that may be available from your insurer. If you don't know about the factors that effect your final rate, you can not take advantage of them. Be sure to inform your insurance agent about any repairs, major updates you've made to structures or Conveyances. Certain newer appliances can also qualify your for discounts. Insurers do often advertise the most common discounts but generally do not advertise every available discount but that doesn't mean they are not there, it does no harm to ask your agent about ways you can save.
3. The material used use in construction of your property can go a very long way in affecting the insurance quotes you receive. Frame Structures provide more resistance to earthquakes. Brick buildings can offer better resistance to high winds and flying debris as well as the occasional auto collision. Those who need property coverage in the Western US can often pay lower rates if the buildings are frame because of the earthquakes there. Building your structure with the appropriate material for your state can easily save you 5% to 35% on your Houston home insurance rates.

Unscheduled Contents coverage
Most home insurance underwriters will offer unscheduled contents coverage as a percentage at 40 or 60 percent of the homes insured value . With the prices of real-estate in today's market this can sometimes far exceed the value of our possessions within the home. If you believe you have excessive contents coverage you might consider asking your agent if you can reduce the unscheduled contents portion of yuor homeowners insurance to 30 or 25 percent.
Liability Insurance
The Liability portion of your homeowners insurance is often considered the most important coverage on a Houston homeowners insurance policy next to the main structure coverage itself. Review your policy liability limits. If you find you have 1 or 2 or even 5 Million dollars in liability coverage and your home is a 150 thousand dollar typical suburban, you might want to consider a more practical range of 100, 300 or 500 thousand in liability coverage. In some markets the extra liability included in the policy could be a beef up of a policy to make the asking price more palatable. Never the less though one should take an assessment of ones liability exposures and attachable assets from time to time to insure we have enough coverage to protect our exposures. These occasional assessments can also save us money on our home insurance premium by knowing the limits of coverage we actually need.
Med Pay
Many Home insurance providers automatically include some coverage amount for accidental injury in the home. This coverage is most often referred to as "Med Pay" and considered by some to be an attractive policy option. Often this coverage is anywhere from 500 to 5000 or even 10,000 dollars. When we already have a separate ACA compliant health insurance, this may be considered by many to be unnecessary double coverage on a homeowners policy. A major medical policy provides coverage regardless of whether our injury occurs in or away from home. You may consider asking your agent if there would be any savings by removing the med pay coverage from your home insurance policy if you believe you already have a comprehensive Health insurance Policy.
