Home insurance is among the most important policies that you need to protect your precious possessions. The dangers are many that your house faces, such as hostile climactic conditions that can strike without warning. Not only your house structure, you need to look toward covering your personal belongings as well.

When you get your belongings insured, you are paid the actual cash value of the item at the time of claim which means that when you claim your insurance, you will be paid the replacement cost of whatever you lost but it will be minus depreciation. This generally includes the estimated loss in value of an item because of time and usage. To reduce on your premiums, you can consider deductibles. This is the part of the payment you pay which is exempt of coverage by the insurance company. Bigger the deductible, lower the premium. There are different subcategories under home insurance. Some of the them are mentioned below.

Liability Protection provides coverage if you have to pay damages for causing bodily injury to others or for damage to their property. This is covered by the insurance for you. Personal Property Protection provides protection against loss to movable property like portable electronic items, furniture or clothing. There is often a special coverage limit for movable personal property. You can also go for
protection of other structures which gives coverage to your property which is separated from your main residence by a clear space. Under such property, you can consider structures like a detached garage, storage house such as barn, etc. In replacement cost coverage, you can be reimbursed for the cost you incur to replace your damaged items with new ones.

But of course, all of this is subject to the terms and conditions of the home insurance policy that you avail of. Check out your applicable deductibles and coverage limits to make more judicious decisions.
