Anyone have their system insured?


I was out of town over the weekend and during that time we were hit with some severe storms. Many neighborhoods were completely flooded with reports of nearly submerged basements. My system happens to be in my finished basement, which has never flooded or even leaked. However not being there to check still concerned me. Thankfully everything was ok when I returned.

For peace of mind, I was considering getting my system insured. Anyone else have their system insured? What is the best way to do so, as a rider to your homeowners policy?

Talk to your ins. agent about additional coverage to your household goods that will cover the equipment. Emphasize you want this coverage IN ADDITION to what you have now, as I understand you get a percentage of the house value towards contents. I found an agent willing to listen to my specific needs & gave him all my biz. Maybe a tad more expensive than the discount shops but I feel more comfortable now.

BTW, I changed companies a few years ago when we returned from vacation and one trunk of an 80' double trunk tree fell on a neighbor's house & the other one was leaning towards ours. After many phone calls I not only was very disappointed with the ins. companies attitude but also discovered I didn't have nearly enough contents coverage to include my stereo.
