Are There Different Types of Home Insurance Policies?

If you are looking to purchase a home insurance policy in the greater Huntley, IL area, August Vincent Insurance Agency can help you find the insurance product that offers you the best protection for your home. One of the questions that you may have is whether there are different types of home insurance policies available. 

Replacement Cost Homeowners Insurance Policy

One of the types of home insurance that is available is called replacement cost homeowners insurance. A replacement cost homeowners insurance pays your claim based on the cost of rebuilding or repairing what is damaged on the home or to the home after it was damaged or destroyed. This type of policy is perfect if you have materials that have increased as time has gone on or you do not want to worry about naturally increasing the actual cash value of your policy. 

Actual Cash Value Homeowners Insurance Policy

The second type of home insurance product that is on the market is actual cash value homeowners insurance policy. An actual cash value homeowners insurance policies pay out your claims based on the actual cash value of the items damaged, less any depreciation in your home. If you have high-end finishes that are rare and hard to find, and you are worried about being shorted by the insurance company for these items, an actual cash value policy may be the better fit for you.
