Tips to Lower Your Premiums

Ways to Lower Your Homeowner Premium 

As a homeowner, there are a variety of ways to save on your premium. Here's how you can ensure you're getting the best Homeowners insurance rates possible for the coverage you need. 

1) Raise your deductible 

A higher deductible on your Homeowners insurance could produce a lower premium. 

2) Upgrade and replace   

If you upgrade your home's electrical systems or replace the roof, let your agent know. These updates and safety improvements may qualify you for a Homeowner policy credit. 

3) Install safety systems 

Install safety systems like a central fire alarm, burglar alarm or sprinkler system. Not only will you make your home safer, but you can also qualify for a premium credit. 

4) Multi-Policy credit  

Insureds who have a Farm Bureau Insurance Personal Auto policy and a Farm Bureau Insurance Homeowners, Mobile Homeowners, Country Estate, or Farmowners policy receive a Multi-Policy Credit.  

5) Learn loss history 

Before purchasing a home, learn about its insurance loss history. If there have been past losses, be sure to inspect the home closely to determine if proper repairs were made. 

6) Insurance Score 

Maintaining a good rating could be to your advantage in lowering your premiums. The Farm Bureau Insurance Companies offer the [FB Advantage Discount] for homeowner and personal auto insurance premium discounts for eligible individuals. Learn more about this discount and insurance scores here.
