			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 align="center">Saving on Homeowners Insurance</h2>
<p>With the state of economic affairs, everyone is looking at how to cut costs without cutting the quality of their services. One of the areas that many people overlook is their homeowners insurance. Each state has its own premiums, but most areas like Richmond offer great discounts and savings for different features. Contact your insurance agent about some of these money saving tips.</p>
<h3><strong>Raise Your Deductible</strong></h3>
<p>Most people have too much insurance for their property. Although it would be nice if every home was insured for $500,000, most homes are not worth half that amount. Decreasing the amount of your coverage and raising your deductible from $250 or $500 to $1000 will significantly decrease your monthly premium. A word of caution though, these savings also are a gamble. You are betting that nothing is going to happen to your home, and you will not need that deductible. A safer bet is to place the amount for the deductible in a savings account and not touch it. Then when you need it, you have it.</p>
<h3><strong>Change your Home’s Features</strong></h3>
<p>The next easy way to decrease the amount of your homeowner’s insurance is to change out some of your outdated features for newer, longer lasting energy star rated ones. Some of the easy changes are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Installing longer lasting roofing like 50 yr. shingles instead of 20 yr. shingles. You’ll save several hundred dollars a year off your premium.</li>
<li>Installing a tankless water heater on the outside of your home. It’s more energy efficient and less of a fire hazard.</li>
<li>Installing a heating/cooling system outside of your home. It’s better for efficiency and fire safety.</li>
<li>Installing energy star rated windows, fixtures, and appliances. These also have some government refunds.</li>
<li>Spraying insulation into your attic and blowing it into your walls. These types fill the gaps better, and they reduce your utility costs.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Environmentally safe building materials</h3>
<p>Depending on your insurance company, some offer discounts or savings for adopting and using environmentally safe building supplies. There are ecofriendly alternatives for every product from plywood, studs, and drywall to paint and sealants. They expose your family to fewer toxins and are better for your health. They cost a little more, but as more alternatives are developed, the prices get lower and lower.</p>
<h3>Security</h3>
<p>Who is looking after your home when you aren’t there? Most insurance companies want homeowners that are home all the time. It means the property is being taken care of and protected from vandals. If you can’t be home all the time, adding a home security system provides peace of mind for you and your insurance company. Installing one can save you enough to compensate for the services.</p>
<h3>Combine policies</h3>
<p>On almost every car insurance commercial, you hear the benefits of combining your insurance policies. Many insurance companies offer huge discounts for multiple policy holders. In order to save more, you may try to put your car, home, boat, motorcycle, camper, and life insurance all with one company. Most places give you bigger discounts on each different policy you have.</p>
<h3><strong>Shop Around</strong></h3>
<p>Even though most agents tell you not to, shop around. Open the phone book and look for insurance agents in Richmond. Then call them and ask questions. Get on the internet and look for quotes. Once you find one you like, call and talk to them. Being better informed about the available possibilities of insurance coverage will help you to make a better, quality decision.</p>
