The fewer miles you drive the lower your premium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you sign up for the MyRate program, Progressive will mail you a small device that you place on the bottom of your dashboard. (It looks similar to the E-pass device you use to pay toll roads.) After you’ve logged some driving time (30 days to be exact) you can log on to your policy at &lt;a href="http://www.progressive.com/"&gt;www.progressive.com&lt;/a&gt; to see what your projected renewal rate is. If you’re not happy with the rate change (perhaps it increased) you can either change your driving habits to increase your discount or you can terminate your enrollment in the program at any time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The discount is based on the following driving habits:&lt;br /&gt;- The total number of miles you drive&lt;br /&gt;- The number of miles you drive during high-risk hours&lt;br /&gt;- Sudden starts and stops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They recommend it for people who drive less than 10,000 miles per year, but customers have been reporting that they have saved even though they drive around 15,000 miles a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MyRate device records the following:&lt;br /&gt;- Vehicle speed and time of day&lt;br /&gt;- When the device is connected and disconnected from the vehicle&lt;br /&gt;- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) upon installation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other information, such as miles driven and rates of acceleration and braking, is derived from the speed and time information recorded by the device. The MyRate device does not collect information about where you drive. Instead, it focuses on how safely, how often, how far, and when you drive. Please note that the MyRate device does not contain GPS technology and does not track vehicle location or whether you're exceeding the speed limit, nor do they know who is driving the car in which the device is installed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MyRate device can only be used on cars built in 1996 or later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To watch a short video about the program, visit &lt;a href="http://www.progressive.com/myrate"&gt;http://www.progressive.com/myrate&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sun Insurance Services, Inc. is a family-owned and operated insurance agency located in Orlando, Florida.

Chances are Santa dropped off new toys for everyone and we want to make sure they'll be replaced if your home were damaged or destroyed. You never know when disaster may strike so it pays to be prepared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A home inventory list will not only help you decide how much insurance you need to purchase, it will also help you through the claims process if you have a loss. If your house burned to the ground today, would you be able to list every single item in the house? Most of us could list the big items, like TVs &amp;amp; appliances, but the smaller things like dishes, clothing, toys, books and jewelry might be more difficult to recall. Here's a short one-minute video to help illustrate the importance of this process: &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/673kjV"&gt;http://bit.ly/673kjV&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As they mention in the video there are several ways to take an inventory. The Insurance Information Institute offers a free software program that you can download here: &lt;a href="http://www.knowyourstuff.org/"&gt;http://www.knowyourstuff.org/&lt;/a&gt;. This will help to guide you through the inventory and allows you attach photos and receipts to the file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can also videotape the inside of your house, narrating as you go along to help record your possessions. Be sure to open drawers and closets so you can see everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taking photographs of your possessions is another quick and easy way to document things. You can post these pictures online to a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;photosharing&lt;/span&gt; site like &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Flickr&lt;/span&gt; or Picasa so you can access them from anywhere. Scanning receipts for big ticket items like jewelry and electronics is also recommended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you've completed your inventory, be sure to store the information in an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;offsite&lt;/span&gt; location so that it's protected. We are also happy to attach your pictures and lists to your file here in the agency as well. Feel free to contact us here at Sun Insurance if you have any questions about insuring the items inside your home. We are happy to help!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;--&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sun Insurance Services, Inc. is a family-owned and operated insurance agency located in Orlando, Florida.

They choose the state minimums in return for a cheaper premium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What this means is many drivers on our roads are &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;underinsured&lt;/span&gt;. If you were to be injured by this person and he did not have enough coverage to pay for your medical expenses and/or lost wages, you would need to rely on the UM coverage of your own policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UM, or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Un&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Underinsured&lt;/span&gt; Motorist, coverage pays for bodily injuries to you, your family members, or any other person in your covered vehicle, caused by the negligence of an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;underinsured&lt;/span&gt; or uninsured motorist. It pays for medical expenses and lost wages (after your PIP is exhausted) and also includes payment for pain and suffering if you sustain a permanent injury. UM coverage can also apply when someone is injured in a hit-and-run accident where the at-fault driver is unidentified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without this coverage it is unlikely that you will receive payment for damages or injuries unless you decide to sue the at-fault driver.

It was later discovered that much of this Chinese drywall, which is made of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsum_plaster"&gt;gypsum plaster&lt;/a&gt; pressed between two thick sheets of paper, was defective and emitting poisonous odors, prompting many homeowners to leave their homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is estimated that as much as 500 million pounds of Chinese drywall was imported between 2004 and 2008 and a little more than &lt;a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/info/drywall/index.html"&gt;1,800 complaints &lt;/a&gt;have been filed since October 2009, most of them coming from Florida, Louisiana and Virginia. Repair costs are currently estimated to be between $8-10 billion dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thousands of homeowners have filed lawsuits and many have filed claims with their insurance carriers, only to have them denied. It has become a point of contention between homeowners and insurance companies, with homeowners now facing tens of thousands of dollars in repair bills and insurance companies taking the stance that it is not a covered loss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty took a stance this week when he stated his opinion that insurance companies have no obligation to cover defective Chinese drywall. He feels that the insurance industry is not responsible for the drywall problem and so the financial responsibility lies with the manufacturers of the drywall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What should a homeowner do if they are faced with this problem? Your first course of action is to contact the builder of the home to see how they are handling the situation. You should also &lt;a href="https://www.cpsc.gov/cgibin/drywall.aspx"&gt;file the complaint&lt;/a&gt; with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.

After a four-year rate freeze the Legislature has ordered Citizens to begin raising rates to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;actuarially&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; sound levels. The amount of increase will range from 1.7% to 8.8% depending on the type of policy you have and your location.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your home is currently insured with Citizens, you should contact an independent insurance agency, like Sun Insurance Services, to see if you are eligible for coverage with a private carrier. We write with many different insurance companies, like Tower Hill, AAA and Universal Property &amp;amp; Casualty, and can place most of our clients with private carriers. The only time you should insure your home with Citizens is when you truly have no other option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sun Insurance Services, Inc. is a family-owned and operated insurance agency located in Orlando, Florida.

Because of this many home insurance customers may see their premium increase 28% or more. The discounts that were eliminated or reduced are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Monitored alarm systems- Homes with monitored alarms will no longer receive a discount.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Upgrades to plumbing, A/C &amp;amp; heating units, electrical systems- If you have received credit for these upgrades, your discount will be reduced. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Claim-free- Insureds who had no or few claims will no longer be rewarded with a discount. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Multiple policy discount- Many State Farm customers have multiple insurance policies with them, i.e. home, auto, liability, business, etc. They will no longer receive a discount for having more than one line of business with State Farm.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The discounts will be reduced/eliminated starting with December renewals and we have already heard from several clients who have seen their premiums jump. Just last week we spoke to two clients who received their State Farm renewal policies and were shocked to see how much their premium went up. One increased by $400 and the other by $1500!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were able to work with each of these clients to quickly find them new home insurance and auto insurance so they were able to cancel their State Farm policies and begin saving immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to find out what options you have to replace your State Farm policy, please call us at 866.786.4613 or contact us via e-mail at &lt;a href="mailto:info@suninsuranceservices.com"&gt;info@suninsuranceservices.com&lt;/a&gt;.

This is an inspection performed by a licensed professional who examines your home to see what features it has that strengthen it against windstorms &amp;amp; hurricanes. Hip roofs, storm shutters and impact resistant windows are a few examples of features that earn you credits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once they have inspected the home they give you a report outlining what insurance discounts you may be eligible for and you submit this for to your insurance agent, who in turns processes it with the insurance carrier. The inspection costs about $150 and the savings can be significant. We've had clients save anywhere from $200 up to $1400!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This program has been in effect for seven years now and everyone agrees that people who take measures to protect their homes from hurricane damage should receive discounts on their home insurance. Unfortunately the program is being taken advantage of by some private inspectors with questionable credentials who &lt;em&gt;guarantee&lt;/em&gt; savings for everyone. They produce reports that indicate the homeowner is eligible for far more credits than they should actually receive, essentially turning the program into an insurance giveaway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Citizens Property Insurance has already begun a small scale audit of their policyholders to verify that the credits that have been given are warranted. If they find enough evidence of fraud in this initial audit, they will launch a full-fledged investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your home was built before 2002 and you have not had a wind mitigation inspection performed, please check this Web site to find a reputable inspector in your area: &lt;a href="http://www.ashi.org/find/default.aspx"&gt;http://www.ashi.org/find/default.aspx&lt;/a&gt;. (If your home was built in 2002 or later, you automatically receive the credits from your insurance carrier.) We also keep a list of inspectors on file so feel free to contact us directly for a referral at 866.786.4613.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We support this program and hope that our Insurance Commissioner, Kevin McCarty, will find a solution to eliminate the fraud. It would be a shame to see a few bad apples ruin it for the rest of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;--&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sun Insurance Services, Inc. is a family-owned and operated insurance agency located in Orlando, Florida.

The goal of their initiative is to remind insureds that functioning smoke detectors are critical for alerting and preventing injury or death if their home were to catch on fire. The campaign theme is simple; they can replace your home but they cannot replace a life. They feel so strongly about this safety measure that each year they mail two 9-volt batteries to their policyholders with a reminder to replace the batteries in their smoke detectors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next several weeks, each homeowner will receive an envelope with the batteries along with a copy of Fire Safety Tips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;ASI's&lt;/span&gt; CEO, John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Auer&lt;/span&gt;, started this project the first year of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;ASI's&lt;/span&gt; existence, and they have continued the tradition ever since.

Fortunately, everyone in Florida is eligible to buy flood insurance from the federal government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Development can change the land’s natural ability to absorb rain and alter rainwater runoff patterns, dramatically increasing the chances of flooding in areas that have never flooded before.&lt;br /&gt;And although many floods are caused by huge storms, more result from small, localized events, such as ordinary thunderstorms. Most rainfall from hurricanes is usually produced by slow moving tropical storms that stall over an area, like last year’s Tropical Storm Fay. As hurricanes weaken and move inland, the threat of torrential rains and high winds over large areas intensifies the risk of flooding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter where you live, it is important to remember that just a few inches of water in a home can cause thousands of dollars of damage, but you don’t have to spend a lot of money for flood protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The annual cost for a flood policy with $250,000 coverage on the building (the maximum coverage available) is only $348 per year. This means for less than a dollar per day you can add on this valuable coverage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can purchase a policy over the phone with a credit card, but remember, unless you are closing a new loan, there is a 30-day wait.

One piece of advice that's regularly given out to people shopping for new insurance is to check the rating of insurance companies with A.M. Best to determine their financial stability. But in Florida, as with many things, the rules about ratings are a bit different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very few national insurance carriers write homeowners insurance in Florida any longer, and those that do have formed "Florida-only" subsidiaries to transact the business. A.M. Best favor carriers who are regionally or nationally diversified, and their ratings for Florida-only carriers tend to be lower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We recommend our customers look at the ratings of &lt;a href="http://www.demotech.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Demotech&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which primarily measures a company’s ability to remain solvent and pay claims in a crisis, which is what most Floridians are concerned with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In 2004, four hurricanes and one tropical storm struck Florida," &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Demotech&lt;/span&gt; president Joseph &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Petrelli&lt;/span&gt; said. "There were nearly 100 newer, regional insurers and only one failed. The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Demotech&lt;/span&gt; are doing a fine job."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best advice we can give State Farm customers is to find an independent agency, like Sun Insurance, who represents multiple home and auto carriers and can shop for coverage on their behalf. We carefully choose a product and carrier based on our customer's needs and should those needs change, we have plenty of other options to offer them. If a carrier leaves Florida, or develops financial problems, raises rates drastically, or falls down in providing good service, we can easily re-write the policy with another carrier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's important to check the rating of any insurance carrier you do business with but maybe even more important to find &lt;a href="http://www.suninsuranceservices.com/"&gt;an agent you can trust&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sun Insurance Services, Inc. is a family-owned and operated insurance agency located in Orlando, Florida.

It’s easy to think that lower home values equate to lower homeowners coverage but consider what your insurance policy is designed to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insurance should "make you whole" again if your home were damaged or destroyed by something like a fire, lightning strike or windstorm. In the case of rebuilding a home, "making whole" means rebuilding your home back to the way it was before the loss and the cost to do this is the determining factor for your insurance policy. How much does it cost to re-build your home?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The re-build value of your home includes cost of materials, labor, debris removal and fuel while re-sale value factors in the price of your land, as well as the structure. To get a rough estimate of the re-build value of your home, multiply your square footage by $125. This is the &lt;em&gt;minimum&lt;/em&gt; coverage you should carry on your home and will be shown as &lt;a href="http://www.suninsuranceservices.com/"&gt;Coverage A on your policy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you feel that your home is over- or under-insured, &lt;a href="http://www.suninsuranceservices.com/"&gt;please contact us &lt;/a&gt;by phone at 866.786.4613 or e-mail at &lt;a href="mailto:info@suninsuranceservices.com"&gt;info@suninsuranceservices.com&lt;/a&gt; so we can determine the correct Coverage A amount based on your specific home features.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Sun Insurance Services, Inc. is a family-owned and operated insurance agency located in Orlando, Florida.

Here are 5 reasons why you should replace your &lt;a href="http://www.suninsuranceservices.com/"&gt;State Farm policy&lt;/a&gt; today!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;1. Beat the Rush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;State Farm plans to nonrenew an average of 29,000 policies per month in Florida over the next two years. If you wait for your nonrenewal letter to start shopping, you and 28,999 other people will be looking for a new policy at the exact same time. Insurance carriers typically limit how many homes they'll insure in one area and stop offering policies in certain zip codes when they reach capacity. Give yourself the advantage of shopping now and you'll have more to choose from. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;2. Your State Farm premium may increase soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;In December State Farm premiums for Florida policyholders are expected to increase by an average of 28% when they begin eliminating certain credits from their policies, like multi-policy discounts. Just last week we spoke to two clients who received their State Farm renewal policies and were shocked to see how much their premium went up. One increased by $400 and the other by $1500!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;3. There is no penalty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;There is no penalty for canceling a homeowner insurance policy in Florida. When we write the replacement policy, we will send a cancellation form to your State Farm agent and a refund will be issued for any time that had been left on the policy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;4. You don't want a Citizens policy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;The only alternative a State Farm agent in Florida can offer you as a replacement for your State Farm homeowner policy is Citizens Property Insurance. Citizens has made it well known that they are underfunded and their policies don't provide you with same coverage as a policy through a private insurance carrier. You should not move your State Farm policy over to Citizens unless you truly have no other options. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;5. We'll make it easy for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;At &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Sun Insurance Services&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt; we sell policies for &lt;a href="http://www.suninsuranceservices.com/"&gt;more than a dozen private carriers&lt;/a&gt;. We will quote your home with as many carriers as possible to make sure you are getting the most coverage for your premium.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;In speaking with clients we know that many State Farm customers had both their auto &amp;amp; home insurance with State Farm. While most carriers in Florida don't write both auto &amp;amp; home (and can't offer the multi-policy discount) we are pleased to say that there is one option for combining policies and we are one of the few agencies that offer it. AAA Insurance recently began offering a product that combines your home and auto coverage in one policy!
