FIRE, LIGHTNING AND STORM DAMAGE

Your home insurance policy protects you against loss from the most widely feared of all hazards - fire. It also covers a wide range of weather related damage including lightning and storms as well as losses resulting from other natural causes. Your policy protects against the following losses:

  • Fire damage to your home
  • Damage caused by the water and/or foam used to extinguish the fire
  • Fire damage to trees, shrubs, plants, lawn or boundary walls and fences
  • Smoke damage
  • Falling trees
  • Damage due to weight of ice or snow

Home insurance can help repair your house and freestanding structures (garage, tool shed, etc.) if damaged is caused by lightning, storms, hail, vandalism, vehicles, or fire. It can also help pay for alternative accommodation for you and your family while repairs are in progress.

PROTECTION FROM EQUIPMENT FAILURES, FALLING OBJECTS AND STRUCTURAL FAILURES

Damage to your home or its contents could result from equipment failures, electrical problems, falling objects, vehicles, structural collapse, or any number of other causes. Your policy protects you against many of these losses including:

  • Frozen pipes or heating system
  • Bursting of pipes or heating system
  • Explosion of a boiler
  • Hot water system rupture or burning
  • Damage to appliances caused by a surge in electricity
  • Glass and window breakage
  • Falling objects
  • Damage by vehicles
  • Collapse of roof or walls

PROTECTION FROM THEFT

No neighbourhood is safe from crime these days. Whether you have an alarm system or not, it is reassuring to know that your home insurance policy is there to protect you against loss from theft, burglary, robbery, and other crime related causes. Your policy also covers losses from:

  • Vandalism and malicious mischief
  • Credit card theft or loss
  • Riot, civil commotion and looting

PERSONAL LIABILITY

If guests are injured on your property, home insurance helps protect you from the potential cost of paying for their medical bills. It can also help cover injuries you cause away from home (as long as they're accidental). In both situations, insurance kicks in where you are deemed legally liable and negligent.

DISCOUNTS ON YOUR HOME INSURANCE POLICY

You can often get savings and discounts just for having common-sense items like deadbolt locks and smoke alarms.

Here are a few other discounts that may apply to you:

  • Alarm System connected or not connected to central station
  • Smoke Detectors
  • Over 50s discount
  • No Claims Bonus
  • Multi-Policy discount

Cost of Home Insurance

Considering the potential cost of replacing all your valuables or even your entire house, buying home insurance is always a wise investment.

Home insurance rates vary depending on some of these main factors:

  • The age of your house
  • Your address - particularly whether you are in a flood zone
  • Your claims history
  • Your sums insured
