7 Sure-fire Ways Of Reducing Your Home Insurance Premium

by Bill Smith

Home security improvement:

All insurance companies will happily offer you a discount for burglar alarms and smoke detectors. Homes with fire and burglar alarms that communicate with a third party monitoring company receive a higher discount on their insurance premiums.

When possible, choose a higher deductible:

To reduce your premium, it is best advised to increase the deductible to the extent you can afford. Your home insurance premium will fall by as much as 20% if you increase the deductible from $200 to $1000.

Multiple insurance – Same provider:

If you consolidate your home insurance and auto insurance with one insurance company, expect a premium reduction between 10 – 15%. This also means you are making one payment for all your insurance needs. Consolidate and win.

Discount for non-smokers:

Some home insurance companies will offer a non-smoker discount to the tune of 15%. Check with your insurance company if they offer a non-smokers discount.

How far is the fire station?

If you live more than 5 miles from the nearest fire station and more than 1,000 feet from a fire hydrant, you can expect a higher premium. Also if you live in the country, you will probably pay higher insurance rate than if you were living in the city.

Type of construction:

The construction type of your home also plays an important role in determining your insurance premium. A wood frame home will cost more to insure than the one built mostly of concrete.

Claims free record and renewal discounts:

If you have not had a claim under your current home owners policy for the past 3-5 years, you will get a 15% discount on your premium. Expect additional discount if your policy has been in force with the same insurance company for 3 years or more.

Conclusion:

I am hopeful you have gained preliminary knowledge on the subject of home insurance premiums. With these helpful tips you will be able to understand and demand discounts on your home insurance premiums. Good Luck!

by Larry Dotson

If you're looking to buy business products online from an auction site, Larry Dotson has these ten tips you should be aware of before you bid:

  1. Know the value of the product before you bid. If the product is brand new, check to see what price retailers are charging for it. If the product is used or reconditioned, you will want to pay way less than the retail value.

    Replica Handbags Prove Authentic Labels Are Not Needed

    by Catherine Olivia

    To me, there is only one reason to buy a replica or designer inspired handbag....it's because if you paid $450.00 or more for that authentic Vuitton Monogram Papillion 30 bag you wouldn't have enough money for that Prada, or that Fendi, or that Chanel. Let's face it, for most of us purses are as important and exchangeable an accessory as our shoes. One pair of shoes will never do, and one handbag won't do either! Different outfits require different handbags!

    I still wish that I had bought that authentic Balenciaga Motorcycle bag, that aqua colored one that I lusted after, but at upwards of $400.00 for a large one, I

    Discount Shopping - Tips You Need!

    by Greg Stricker

    There's no doubt that discount shopping makes good sense. In fact it makes perfect sense. Why? Because the competition between online retailers is so intense they are constantly lowering their prices on their most popular items to outshine their opponents.

    Here are some tips for you when shopping for discounts.

    1. Search multiple sites before you commit to a particular product -- Sure we have all heard of comparison shopping engines and they are very useful. However, not all stores offering great discounts advertise on these sites. Many stores that feature great discounts may seem very amateurish and unpopular to
