How to Save Money on Your Home Insurance

Posted on May 11, 2025 by admin

Saving money on home insurance doesn’t mean sacrificing coverage—it’s about being strategic. Here are 15 proven ways to lower your premiums while keeping your home protected:

1. Shop Around & Compare Quotes
Get quotes from at least 3-5 insurers (State Farm, Allstate, Lemonade, Progressive, local providers).

Use comparison sites like Policygenius, Gabi, or The Zebra.

Pro Tip: Rates vary widely—loyalty doesn’t always pay!

2. Bundle Insurance Policies
Combine home + auto insurance with the same provider (saves 10–25%).

Some insurers offer discounts for life insurance or umbrella policies too.

3. Raise Your Deductible
Increasing your deductible from
500
→
500→1,000+ can cut premiums 5–15%.

Warning: Only do this if you can afford the higher out-of-pocket cost in a claim.

4. Improve Home Security
Install burglar alarms, deadbolts, smoke detectors, or smart home systems (Ring, Nest).

Discounts: 5–20% for monitored security systems.

5. Maintain a Good Credit Score
Insurers use credit-based insurance scores in most states.

Tip: Pay bills on time, reduce debt, and check credit reports (AnnualCreditReport.com).

6. Avoid Small Claims
Frequent claims raise premiums or get you dropped.

Rule of thumb: Only file claims for major losses (e.g., fire, theft, storm damage).

7. Ask About Discounts
Common discounts insurers don’t always advertise:
✅ Loyalty (staying with the same company 3+ years).
✅ Non-smoker (reduces fire risk).
✅ New home (recently built houses get lower rates).
✅ Gated community or fire hydrant nearby.

8. Review & Adjust Coverage Annually
Don’t over-insure: Ensure your coverage matches your home’s current value (not what you paid).

Remove unnecessary add-ons like jewelry riders if you no longer own expensive items.

9. Pay Annually (Instead of Monthly)
Monthly payments often include fees or interest. Paying upfront saves 3–5%.

10. Upgrade Your Home’s Resilience
Storm-proofing: Impact-resistant roofs, storm shutters (saves 5–30% in hurricane-prone areas).

Fire-resistant materials: Brick, metal roofing, updated wiring.
