You’ll pay higher premium if you get a house in a locality that has only a volunteer fire service instead of a full-time fire service. Know that your rates will be further influenced by the distance of your house from a fire station, firefighting equipment or hydrant. Simply put: the nearer your home is to firefighters and their equipment, the cheaper your premium will be.

Know how distant the home is from the closest police station. This also will help in reducing your homeowners insurance rate.

Is the area a trouble spot? Houses in areas that are trouble spots cost much more to insure. And, even if you assume an area is a low crime area, make out time to check. You can inquire from an agent or insurance office and ask. It does happen that the home on the adjoining street belongs to a high crime district (by an insurer’s map) while yours is in a better crime zone.

A better secured house will attract some savings as well. You could save up to five percent if you have dead-bolt locks and burglar alarms. With the installation of special security systems you could attract discounts of around 20 percent from some insurers. To get such discounts, though, your special security devices have to be those approved by the insurance company. The irony, though, is that even though such devices will bring down your premiums, they’re by no means cheap.


Quit smoking if you intend to reduce your home insurance premium. It will save you much if no one living your household smokes. Over 20,000 residential fires are traceable to smoking every year. Please, take note that a good number of insurers may not have any markdowns for this.

Cheap Home Insurance Rates — Something Else That We Can’t Afford To Omit

You can get lower quotes on home insurance now by getting and comparing quotes from at least three insurance quotes sites. Each site will require around 5 minutes or less to receive quotes. (Some folks give information that is not really correct about themselves. That isn’t a smart move since the quotes you’ll get this way won’t be of any use to you). You’ll have to select the best home insurance quote for you from the list of quotes obtained. That’s all there is to it. However, you could easily save hundreds of dollars.

Here are my favorite sites for home insurance quotes…
