Homeowner’s insurance has some important limitations; most policies do not cover flood, war or other catastrophes. Other types of insurance coverage exist for these purposes, but it is important to read your policy to understand what is and is not covered. Some additional coverage can also be available for losses resulting from fires, and carry additional premiums as well as conditions pertaining to fire detectors, etc.

Premium vary based on a number of factors, including where a home is located geographically, where it is in proximity to emergency services, the construction materials used in the house, its age, and so on. Premiums also, of course, vary based on the underwriter. Often, discounts are provided to those who also purchase auto and other forms of insurance from the same underwriter.
