These policies include \u201cnamed perils\u201d and \u201copen perils\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">A policy with named perils covers what is named in the policy, for example, fire or lightning if it is listed. A policy with open perils covers every type of damage, except what is listed as an exclusion. For example, if your roof is damaged in a hailstorm, your repairs should be covered as long as hail is not listed as an exclusion in your policy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The majority of policies sold in the U.S. are HO-3 and protect your home against all perils, unless they are specifically listed. Some items that may not be covered in an HO-3 policy include earthquakes and flooding. Those who live in flood-prone areas are encouraged to buy flood insurance through the government.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                        \n                                    \n            \n                            <br>\n                <div class=\"c-button__container c-button__container--centered\">\n                    <a class=\"c-button c-button c-button--linear-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freeway.com\/knowledge-center\/homeowners-insurance\/faq-homeowners-insurance\/\">\n                        <span>Home FAQ<\/span>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"c-section c-section--bottom-0-spacing \" id=\"default-block_9c3886f5eb703e0c2d2dbc8fb7f6189a\">\n    <div class=\"o-wrapper \">\n        \n                                    <h2 class=\"c-section__title\">8 Types of Home Insurance<\/h2>\n                                    <div class=\"c-section__content c-section__content--small-top-margin\">\n                        \n                            <div class=\"c-sections__list-column \">\n                    <ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">HO-1: An HO-1 is cheaper than HO-3, and typically will only pay out the value of the house minus depreciation. This also has no coverage for your personal property.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">HO-2: Slightly broader than an HO-1, an HO-2 includes coverage for more perils, as well as the actual cash value of your personal property (value minus depreciation), liability and loss of use.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">HO-3: It covers all perils unless they are listed as an exclusion, plus personal belongings, liability and loss of use. This is the most popular option.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">HO-4: This is coverage for those who rent their home or a storage unit. It covers your personal belongings inside the home or the storage unit for the same perils as the Ho-3. It does not cover for the actual structure.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">HO-5: An HO-5 pays for the replacement costs rather than the actual cash value, which means you can go out and buy a brand new similar laptop rather than receive the amount your laptop would be worth after you\u2019ve owned it for two years.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">HO-6: Condo insurance that covers damage to renovations you\u2019ve made to your condo, the walls, floors and ceilings, personal property, loss of use and liability.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">HO-7: Mobile and manufactured home insurance similar to an HO-3 in that it covers damage from all perils unless they are listed as an exclusion.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">HO-8: Typically reserved for homes built more than 40 years ago that will be more expensive to rebuild in the event of a total loss than they are worth on the market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-product-imagen-wp c-product-imagen-wp alignnone wp-image-33997 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rectangle-3-1.webp\" alt=\"Family home insurance\" width=\"760\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                                    \n            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"c-section  \" id=\"default-block_a058ace414174bb22ade31bad99d1e6c\">\n    <div class=\"o-wrapper \">\n        \n                                    <h2 class=\"c-section__title\">Ways to Save Money on Your Home Insurance<\/h2>\n                                    <div class=\"c-section__content c-section__content--small-top-margin\">\n                                            <div class=\"s-cms-content\">\n                    <p style=\"text-align: left\">It\u2019s always nice to feel like you\u2019ve saved some money and there are certain ways you can save on your home coverage.

You may be losing your familiar carrier, but there may still be options. Don\u2019t jump on the first ship you see as a lifesaver. Take a little bit of time to compare so you can make sure you\u2019ll have the coverage you need.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\">Consider Bundling with Other Insurance Products<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Show your loyalty to your insurer by trusting them with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeway.com\/auto-insurance\/discounts\/multi-policy-discounts\/\">multiple policies<\/a>.<\/strong> Not only will you conceivably get a better rate, you demonstrate trust in your carrier. You can also be proactive by making your entire premium payment up front so your insurer knows you won\u2019t be leaving them mid-year for another company.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                        \n                                    \n            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-contact-channels\">\n        <div class=\"o-wrapper \">\n        <div class=\"c-contact-channels__content\">\n            <h2 class=\"c-contact-channels__title \">Contact Freeway Insurance Today for Affordable Homeowners Insurance Coverage<\/h2>\n                            <div class=\"c-contact-channels__text\"><p>For many people, acquiring\u00a0<em>homeowners<\/em>\u00a0<em>insurance<\/em>\u00a0is a mandate set forth by their lender, but everybody needs to protect what is most likely their largest-ever purchase and investment.
