Reader’s Question:

Hey, I will be upgrading my home next month. I was told to inform my insurance agent in Honolulu Hawaii HI about this. Am I really required to do this? Won’t this just drive up the price of my home insurance premiums?

You are actually not required, Blake, you are encouraged. Let us take a look back to the time when you first purchased your home insurance. Can you still remember the steps you have undertaken before you were able to get that home insurance? One of the earliest steps (if not the earliest) is assessing or appraising your home, correct? Unfortunately, I don’t have a more comprehensive information of your home insurance but I bet that what you did was assess the value of your property, as well as the fixtures it had, including appliance and furniture.

This whole value was then the basis of your policy and your premiums and your coverage, too. It only follows that when you upgrade your home, both your coverage and your premiums will be affected; otherwise you will find that you are under insured. You will no be jailed if you don’t tell your insurer in Honolulu Hawaii HI and if you don’t upgrade your home insurance. What happens is that the new additions to your home will not be covered by your existing home insurance and you can not claim anything for it in the event of a fire or theft. Bear in mind that you now require additional coverage and therefore it is but important that we insure them beforehand. With this in mind, you can view increased premiums as only natural occurrences.
