Free Primer from Kemper, A Unitrin Business, Offers Important Information for Homeowners on Insuring their Homes to Value
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- A recent research survey by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) found several misunderstandings among consumers about homeowners insurance, including the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost. A new primer from Kemper, A Unitrin Business, features important information for consumers on homeowners insurance, especially replacement cost. The information is free and can be accessed at www.eKemper.com, under the Latest News section.
The brochure, titled "Protecting Your Home & Property," explains the difference between actual cash value, replacement cost and market value. It also includes information on how replacement cost is calculated. Says Kemper President James A. Schulte, "The difference between actual cash value and replacement cost can mean thousands of dollars out-of-pocket for homeowners in the event of a covered claim. We want to demystify homeowners insurance terminology so that consumers know exactly what they are getting."
