Things to consider when shopping for homeowners insurance

Your mortgage lender will require you to purchase replacement cost homeowners insurance coverage. That means you will have enough coverage to rebuild your home at today’s prices. Standard home insurance policies provide this coverage, but it’s important to make sure the replacement cost calculation is accurate.

When shopping for coverage, gathering several quotes from various insurance companies is the best way to find the policy you need at the best possible price.

It’s also important to remember that price isn’t everything; check up on the reputation of the insurance company before you buy a policy. Start with our list of the best home insurance companies.

The most common natural disasters in Wyoming

The risk of natural disasters varies from state to state. While it can seem obvious on the surface – California residents worry about wildfires, homeowners in Oklahoma face tornadoes and in Florida hurricanes wreak havoc – the biggest risk may surprise you.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the natural disaster most likely to strike in Wyoming is Avalanche.

Make sure you have the coverage you need in the event of a natural disaster. Risks like floods and earthquakes are not covered by standard home insurance.

Avalanche	Very High

Frequently asked questions

Does home insurance cover windstorms in Wyoming?

Homeowners insurance typically covers wind damage. However, in some states – particularly those vulnerable to damage from hurricanes – your homeowners policy might have a separate deductible for storms such as hurricanes or tropical storms.

These deductibles are often much higher than the deductible that applies to the rest of your homeowners insurance coverage. Wyoming doesn’t allow separate deductibles for hurricanes and windstorms.

In some cases, windstorm coverage has to be purchased separately; make sure to ask when you buy a policy.

Do I need flood insurance in Wyoming?

If you live in a high-risk flood zone in Wyoming, you need to purchase flood insurance. A standard homeowners insurance policy does not cover damage from floods. You can check your flood zone on FEMA’s flood maps.

About 90% of all natural disasters include flooding, according to the federal government’s National Association of Insurance Commissioners, so all homeowners should consider flood insurance.

How can I save on homeowners insurance?

The best way to save on homeowners insurance is to shop around and compare quotes from a handful of insurance companies. That way, you can find the coverage you need at the best possible price.

Raising your deductible can also lower your premium costs. However, remember that if you file a claim, you will have to pay your deductible in full before the insurance company will begin to reimburse you for the claim.

Most insurance companies also offer many different types of discounts to eligible policyholders. For example, one way to save is to bundle your policies by purchasing more than one type of insurance with the same insurance company.

Another way to save money is to install smoke detectors and security systems, says Theresa Breunig-Silbernagel, head of strategy and experience at Main Street America Insurance.

“Smart home systems such as motion sensors, video doorbells and water leak sensors will send you an alert on your cell phone so you can handle the issue before it becomes a real problem,” she says. “Often, these installed devices can result in discounts.”
