Your home is most likely the largest single investment you’ll ever make. Whether living in Woodstock, GA or anywhere else in the state, it is important to protect this investment. The primary way to do this is to take advantage of home owner’s insurance. There are different kinds of home owners insurance to consider, so before you move forward with implementing one form of coverage for your home, we at Insure Your Toy want to make sure you have the right coverage for your individual financial and personal needs.
HO-1
The HO-1 is a standard, entry level form of insurance. It provides protection against 10 different problems you may face, including fire/smoke, riots, damage from aircraft, vehicles, vandalism, theft, lightening, explosions and even volcanic eruptions. Now, you probably won’t need to worry about volcanic eruptions in Woodstock, GA, but just about everything else is important. There might be an explosion with the gas line, or someone can break into the house. The vast majority of coverage will come in extremely helpful.
HO-2
This upgraded policy includes everything you’ll find in the first policy, but adds falling objects, damage from ice, snow and sleet, freezing in your AC unit, breaking of your water pipes and damage from artificially generated electrical currents. Coverage for a burst pipe is valuable, as you never know when a pipe might burst, especially when you are out for the holidays.
HO-3 and 4
These different kinds of insurance are options you probably will not need. HO-4 is for renting out your home. You’ll want this on top of the other coverage if you do decide to rent your house. HO-3 is the most common form of insurance as it gives the same basic coverage as HO-2, it doesn’t limit coverage and it insured attached structures (such as a deck or other feature you may have added ). This way, everything you own in and around the home is protected.
