A security system and deadbolt locks may help you lower your premiums by offering more layers of protection in the event of an attempted burglary.
• Raise your deductible. Your deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your Lorain home insurance claim begins payment. The higher your deductible is, the lower your premiums are. Talk to an agent to see what the right deductible amount is for you. If you select a higher deductible, it's a good idea to have the amount saved up in case you need it.
• Upgrade your roof. If your roof needs repair or replacement, you can save the cost of a claim by installing a roof resistant to storms, wind or other damage.
