The Insurance Store of CT would like to remind you that it may be time to look into hurricane home protection. In Connecticut, we never know what to expect. With hundreds of miles of shoreline, we have seen our share of devastating storms. When a hurricane strikes our beautiful state, many homeowners find out that damages their homes sustain are not covered by their homeowner’s insurance. Hurricane Insurance is not a separate policy, but certain damage may not be covered under your existing homeowner’s policy. Know the basics of what hurricane damage is covered before the storms start heading our way. You can, however, take measures toward hurricane protection this season. The Insurance Store of CT will be happy to explain your homeowner’s insurance options.
Preparation can prevent costly storm damage. Just a reminder that with the right policy from Insurance Store of CT, hurricane damage will not be one of your worries. When we are in the path of a hurricane, we expect very high winds and a potential for water damage and roof failure. In general, your existing policy will cover high winds ripping roof shingles off resulting in water penetration. Basement flooding, however, is not covered. For that you will need a Flood Insurance policy. Hurricane damage to your boat, car, or RV will require comprehensive insurance.
Make sure that your roof is in top condition, because the rooftop is your home’s defense from the elements. Check your attic ventilation, because large quantities of water can get blown inside the vents when winds reach up to 90 miles per hour. Windows and doors, shuttering the windows is an excellent defense against breaking glass. Also check your surroundings. Secure or put loose items away in your yard, like lawn furniture, recycle bins, toys, tools and bicycles. This includes metal garbage can lids, which can become airborne in a storm. No one wants to think about suffering a loss, but in the event that Connecticut does have a nasty hurricane season The Insurance Store of Connecticut is designed to provide you coverage. If you are interested in learning more about how we can protect your home call The Insurance Store of Connecticut at 860-645-1960.

If this is your first time shopping for life insurance options, it may surprise you how many options you have. Simply, the three main types are Term, Whole Life and Universal Life.

Term Insurance premiums are generally paid on a monthly or annual basis. Your family is protected for that term. Term insurance helps provide for a a family’s loss of income, covers short term debts and needs, provides additional insurance protection during child-raising years, and can help your family pay off a mortgage or pay for a college education.
A Whole Life Policy offers lifelong protection. Whole life insurance helps your family prepare for the unexpected. As with the aforementioned Term policy, the death benefit can help replace a family’s loss of income, help with mortgage costs, or educational needs. Over time, whole life policies build cash value that grows tax-deferred. Money may be withdrawn from the whole life policy during your lifetime. As long as your premiums are paid as required, your policy will be in force. We offer Whole Life policies that can be paid with a single premium, premiums payable to 100, or premiums payable up to a limited number of years. Policy loans do accrue interest, and any outstanding policy loans and interest will reduce the death benefit and cash value.
Universal Life Insurance premiums are paid into your policy’s account value, after a premium expense charge, where it earns interest. Monthly deductions from the account value are made for insurance protection. You may take loans or withdrawals from the account value for your personal needs. Typical uses for universal life insurance are to provide for loss of income, mortgage expenses and educational needs; access to cash; estate, special needs and business planning.
The type of insurance you select depends on the number of people who depend on you.

What determines the cost of your homeowners insurance premium? Your premium will vary based on things like the age of your home, the condition your home is in, its construction materials, and its location. We expect older homes to cost more to insure, and wood homes cost more to insure than those built of brick. Your credit history is a factor, crime statistics in Connecticut, your claims history, and whether you have a dog and what breed it is.
Fire and lightning coverage is included in most standard policies, but read your policy carefully to make sure this important coverage is not excluded. You should also ask your agent or broker if damage caused by perils associated with fire, such as smoke or damage caused by fire extinguishing agents, is covered under your policy.
Personal Property that you own that needs a greater amount of coverage than the rest of your belongings – items such as the family silver, antiques, heirloom items – should be itemized in a scheduled personal property endorsement. By scheduling your irreplaceable valuables, you can recoup the potential loss of these items.
