October 17, 2017Posted at 12:38 pm in

Adjust Your Deductible

The standard amount for a deductible is $500, but an insurance company may offer discounts if you take a deductible that is higher.  If you take a deductible of $1000 for example, the insurance company will offer a discount as it minimizes the chance of a small claim.

Be A Non Smoker

Some insurance companies will offer savings to non smokers as they feel that they are less likely to have a fire claim.  If you recently quit then it may be worth it to mention to your agent.

House is Paid Off

Nothing is better than not having a mortgage to pay each month.  Insurance companies feel the same way and may provide a discount.

Payment Terms

Your premiums are often subject to financing or administration fees if you pay on a monthly basis.  If you can afford then pay annually and you will see savings on these fees.

New Home

If your home is new, most insurance companies will offer a discount.  Ask about this type of discount.

Keeping Home Up To Date

You can earn extra savings if you keep your home up to date.  A new hot water tank, roof and furnace are all items that could mean a rate reduction for you.

Home Alarm

A functioning alarm not only will help keep your house safe, but if it can also save you money.  Some companies will provide a discount if you have one, and even a larger discount if your alarm is monitored.
