Something that many Red Lion homeowners are unaware of is the fact that homeowner policies come in a variety of different types and are categorized by the type of housing you are living in or purchasing.

This quick rundown of housing types will help you understand the various types of homeowners insurance in Pennsylvania:

  • HO-3: If you have a normal single-family house, this is the type of insurance coverage you need. It is the most common homeowner policy available today and protects you from all perils unless they are specifically excluded in the wording of the homeowner policy.
  • HO-6: Living in a co-op or condo building is easy and convenient and if you have this type of home, you need a HO-4 policy. It not only protects your personal property in your condo but also provides coverage for the parts of the condo building that you actually own, like the walls and mechanical systems in your unit.
  • HO-8: Historical homes dot the landscape of Red Lion and if you and your family are living in an older home, you may need an HO-8 policy. In most cases, a HO-8 policy is put in place because the house doesn't qualify for a HO-3 policy.
    Basically an HO-8 policy is necessary if your home is worth less than the cost to replace it. The major disadvantage to these policies is that they only cover 11 specific perils.
  • HO-4: Renters need protection too and if you are living in an apartment, an HO-4 policy is tailor made for your needs. It will pay to replace your personal property if it is damaged, destroyed or stolen.

In addition, these policies come with liability coverage, which protects you in the event someone is hurt in your apartment. If they decide to sue you, an HO-4 policy will also pay for your legal defense and any resulting settlements or judgments, up to your policy limits.

Elevation Review for Coastal Wind or Flooding Risk

Elevation Details Homeowners Tips
812 ft. This is the average home elevation in Red Lion, PA

» Elevation is crucial to a homeowners insurance policy because it determines the risk of your home being in a flood zone which is particularly important in a coastal state such as Red Lion, Pennsylvania.

A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood damage. If you live in a flood prone area, you will need to purchase a separate flood to fully protect your home.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
