Just like auto and health insurance, you can lower your homeowners insurance rates by opting for a higher deductible. A $1,000 deductible can save as much as 25% of your annual premium.

Homeowners insurance companies also offer discounts for certain things like the presence of burglar and fire alarms, fire sprinkler systems, hurricane-proofing for windows, doors and roofs, as well as other features that you may not think about. Ask your homeowners insurance agent for a complete list of all discounts that you may qualify for. Often times you can save even more money by having the same insurance company insure your automobiles and your home.

Homeowners insurance does not cover damage from flooding. If you live in a flood zone, or even if you don’t but you want to be protected from unexpected flooding, you’ll need to buy Federal Flood insurance from an authorized homeowners insurance agent.
