My name is Eric Bowman, and if you have questions about insurance, this is the blog you need to read. I was always confused when I had to purchase insurance. I would either end up paying for insurance I didn't need or I wouldn't buy the right policy. I finally decided that I was going to learn all I could about insurance policies so that I would understand exactly what I was buying. Now, I am completely satisfied with my insurance and the coverage is just what I need. I realized that there are others who are probably just as confused as I was, so I am writing this blog to help others get the best insurance for their needs and budget. I hope that my blog gives you the information you need to make the right choices when purchasing insurance.

Ways To Lower Home Insurance Premiums
Anthony Rhodes
Are you shopping for home insurance? You may find it difficult to compare policies between different providers or are looking for ways to lower the premium prices that you are being quoted. Be aware that there are some ways to reduce your home insurance premiums that you do have control over.
Install A Home Security System
Taking steps to prevent people from breaking into your home is going to make your house safe, which will be reflected in lower insurance premiums. This is because it lowers the liability of the insurance company to have to pay out for a claim for theft, where many expensive items will be taken from a home. If you are going to get a home security system installed, definitely let your insurance provider know so that they can let you know what the discount will be.
Combine Policies
Do you have automotive insurance with another insurance agency? If so, know that you could be losing money each month by not combining policies. Many insurance providers give a nice discount for buying multiple insurance policies with the same company. If you have cars that are insured with other providers, look into bringing those policies with you when you buy home insurance.
Work On Improving Your Credit
Believe it or not, your credit score plays a big role in how much you pay for insurance premiums. This is because your credit score is a reflection of how risky you are as an individual. Insurance providers may view a lot of debt as a risky behavior, which can translate to issues related to your home.
Increase Your Deductible
If you love the coverage you have but don't like how much you pay, you can consider switching to a higher deductible. The only time you will have to pay the deductible is if you actually need to make a claim, which may or may not ever happen. A good rule to follow when selecting a deductible is to make sure you have the cost of the deductible saved in an emergency fund. That way it ensures that you have the money you need to pay for the deductible if the time comes where you need to make a claim.
