Kinds of Homeowner’s Insurance
Not sure what kind of homeowner’s policy you should buy? You aren’t the only one. There are different levels of coverage available and different kinds of policies. Choosing the right one depends on what kind of home you own, and how much cov-
erage you need.Top of Form Bottom of Form If you think it’s confusing now, be glad you weren’t trying to buy a policy back in the 1950s. Back then, you needed a separate policy to cover each individual “peril” your home could face — fire,
theft, storm damage, and so on. Even after companies began selling “all-in-one” policies, things were still confusing. It wasn’t until the early 1970s that a set of standard homeowner’s policies was developed. Which Kind Do You Need? Homeowners insurance comes in 8 different styles. Choose the one that best fits your situation. • HO-1 only covers property specifically mentioned in the policy. It’s often used to insure expensive works of art. • HO-2 is like HO-1, but applies to specific portions of a home. It is usually a named peril policy. That means it protects against damage from a specific event, like a windstorm. • HO-3 is the most common kind of pol-
icy. It covers your home and its contents. It also provides coverage against liability if someone gets hurt on your property. • HO-4 is renters insurance. It covers the contents of your apartment, and can also provide liability coverage. • HO-5 is like HO-3 — it covers your home and its contents. But it covers more perils than a HO-3 policy. • HO-6 is for people who own condos. An HO-6 policy only covers the part of the building that you own, and the con-
tents of your condo. • HO-7 is for mobile home owners. • HO-8 is for people with older homes. The replacement cost of an older home may be higher than its market value. An HO8 policy lets you have premiums that reflect the lower market value. Besides these basic kinds of coverage, you may need to get a rider on your policy. A rider gives you additional coverage for a specific peril or a specific piece of property. Many people get riders to in-
sure an expensive jewelry collection, for example. It’s also common to get an umbrella policy. An umbrella policy provides you with additional liability coverage. It pays to consult with a professional insurance agent to figure out exactly what kind of coverage you need. To get connected with agents in your area, contact the Moore County Home Builder’s Association. Our Association does NOT only consist of Builders!

Items to put on your home winterization checklist
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2011
(ARA) - Preparing your home for cold weather is important for your comfort this winter as well as your utility bills. When you're making your winterization to-do list, be sure to include these simple updates that will help prevent costly damage to your home and provide you with the peace of mind that you're saving energy, water and money. Give your furnace a tune-up: Schedule an appointment to have your furnace inspected and serviced. Annual maintenance by a professional will help ensure your furnace is in prime condition for the long winter and operating as efficiently as possible. Plan ahead and get a preseason check-up before HVAC crews get backed up during the busy winter months. In addition to a professional inspection, don't forget to inspect the furnace filters on a monthly basis. A dirty filter obstructs air flow in the home and reduces efficiency. Check your insulation: Snuggling under a heavy blanket or layering on extra socks and sweaters may feel like a cozy way to watch your favorite holiday movie, but it could also be a sign that it's too cold in your house. You may need more insulation to keep that warm, conditioned air your furnace is cranking out in all the right spots. A good place to start is the attic. All it takes is a quick peek at the floor of your attic to know if you need more insulation. If your attic floor is insulated, but the floor joists are still visible, then you probably don't have enough. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) reports that the recommended level of insulation for most attics is approximately 10 to 14 inches or an R-value of R-38, depending on insulation type. Check out the Energy Star website to find a chart indicating the recommended level of insulation per

region. Install energy-efficient windows: A significant amount of heat can escape through older, less efficient windows. Installing Energy Star-qualified windows can reduce heat loss and increase comfort during extreme weather. According to the DOE, some Energy Star-qualified windows feature more than three panes for increased efficiency and sound insulation. Take the time to research which type of window is the best fit for your climate before making a purchase, as different models are available to fit the needs of different performance zones. Install a water-efficient showerhead: A warm shower during the winter doesn't have to be a guilty pleasure. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency WaterSense Program water-saving specifications for showerheads require a flow rate of no more than 2 gallons per minute (gpm). As the 2011 WaterSense Manufacturer Partner of the Year, Delta Faucet Company strives to help people use water in smarter and more environmentally responsible ways. A 1.5 gpm Delta showerhead featuring H2Okinetic Technology uses up to 36 percent less water than the industry standard of 2.5 gpm. "We understand how much people value their shower routine, so we worked hard to develop a technology
that can make the showerhead water-efficient without sacrificing the user's experience," says Paul Patton, senior product development manager at Delta Faucet Company. Patton says the H2OKinetic Technology employs fluid dynamics to produce larger droplets that retain heat longer and create a denser spray pattern. Together, these effects create a feeling of a drenching, luxurious shower while using less water. Using less hot water not only conserves Earth's most precious resource, but also helps manage utility costs by using less energy from the hot water heater. Prevent plumbing freezes: Insulate the water lines that run along any of the exterior walls in your home so the water will be less likely to freeze and cause the pipes to burst. It's also a good idea to make sure your entire family knows where the main shut off valve is located and how to turn it off in the event that a pipe develops a leak or bursts. Winter forecasts look grim with many meteorologists predicting harsher weather conditions compared to what we experienced in many regions across the U.S. last year. A few updates to the interior and exterior of your home can safeguard it from potential damage and keep you and your family comfortable throughout the season.
Greg Bibey and his wife, Tracey, recently purchased a home in Aberdeen, North Carolina with the help of Homes For Heroes. The Bibeys were eligible to use the Homes for Heroes program by virtue of Greg’s employment as a firefighter with the Town of Aberdeen. The savings during the home purchase were large enough that they exceeded allowed loan limits. The Bibeys decided to donate the overage to the Aberdeen Fire Volunteer Association. These funds will be used to help this group of community Heroes with a variety of projects. Homes for Heroes is a National Program that helps Firefighters, Police Officers, First Responders, Teachers, Medical Personnel and Military purchase and sell their homes. Also helping the Heroes with their home purchase is our local Friends of Heroes Program. For more information visit www.HomesForHeroes.com . Homes For Heroes has given back over $1 Million to “Heroes” across the country in 2011. The local Homes For Heroes affiliates, Allan Nanney and Terry Rainer, are proud to help their local heroes and community.

Three projects to turn home 'blahs' into 'oohs' and 'ahhs' THE PILOT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SOUTHERN PINES, N.C.
(ARA) - As the cool winter months bring us indoors, is your home feeling warm and inviting - or giving you a case of cabin fever? If it's the latter, don't fret. There are many simple and inexpensive updates you can complete to give your home a quick pick-me-up, allowing you to enjoy every minute spent inside. Terrific table and chairs The kitchen table is the hub of the home where we dine as a family, do crafts, homework, play cards and board games. So it's important to make this everyday staple a welcoming area for you, your family and friends. But is your wood tabletop looking drab or stained? Or is your metal surface chipped? No matter what wear and tear you may have inflicted on your table - you
can easily update it with a quick coat of spray paint. Directions: Remove any seat cushions from the chairs and thoroughly clean all table and chair surfaces. Once dry, spray all surfaces with your favorite color of Krylon Dual Paint + Primer spray paint. Since Dual is both a paint and a primer, you can complete your project in one simple step, and half the time. Once you've sprayed all areas and the surfaces are dry, you can re-attach your seat cushions, or create a new look with updated fabric and enjoy your refreshed kitchen activity center. Focal point finishes Lighting fixtures can increase the ambiance to any room but replacing them can cost hundreds of dollars. With a little elbow grease, $20 and less than two
hours, you can update your existing ones with a more attractive - and popular - finish. Directions: Cover your work area with newspaper and disassemble the fixture. Clean the pieces and tape off areas that don't need to be painted. Following the instructions on the label, apply aerosol indoor/outdoor primer followed by the new paint in your favorite color and finish. Once dry, remove the tape and reassemble your impressively updated focal point. Cover the smallest details Are you sick of staring at dull, dirty or chipped register covers or light switch plates around your home? A simple paint update can give any room an instant pickme-up. Directions: Remove register covers or light switch plates and
(ARA) - Just as regular tune-ups may extend the life of your car, performing routine maintenance to your home's heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system may extend the life of your HVAC equipment. While there are some tasks homeowners can handle on their own, many HVAC projects require a professional contractor. Independent Customer Care (TM) Dealers from American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning offer a quick overview of basic service tasks for do-it-yourselfers and service jobs that re-
quire a pro: Furnace maintenance: DIY Filters prevent dust and dirt from building up in your HVAC system. However, dirty filters slow airflow, forcing your system to work harder. The extra exertion can increase energy costs and lead to a damaged system. To prevent costly repairs and keep your system operating at peak efficiency, replace your furnace filters on a monthly basis. Furnace maintenance: Pro A licensed HVAC contractor should fully inspect your furnace at least once per year.
During an annual inspection, the contractor will check the heat exchanger and may adjust the burner. Depending on what type of heating system you have, a professional may also check or clean the flue. Outdoor unit: DIY Keep the area surrounding the outdoor unit free of debris - remove any grass or leaves near the base of the unit and keep nearby shrubbery pruned. If the exterior of the unit becomes dirty, you may also use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to clean the surface. Outdoor unit: Pro When servicing an outdoor unit, a professional will inspect the unit's wiring and repair any loose or damaged connections. A licensed HVAC contractor will also remove any debris that you may have overlooked or can't see, as well as oil the fan and inspect the unit's interior for any damage. Ductwork: DIY Leaky ductwork wastes energy and reduces the life span of an HVAC system. DIYers are encouraged to inspect all visible ductwork in the attic, crawlspace or garage for cracks or leaks. Most local home improvement stores carry a variety of metal tapes or sealants that you can easily apply to seal

leaks however, homeowners are encouraged to contact a professional for tougher jobs such as adding new ductwork. Ductwork: Pro A professional duct cleaner will inspect the entire system, including ductwork not accessible to you. As a part of the inspection, a professional will take apart the vents, clean the vents and registers, and
check for mold, asbestos and other contaminants. A contractor will often seal off any fiberglass insulation in the ducts, preventing it from blowing into the home. While a professional HVAC contractor will keep your system running at its most efficient, there are a few things you can do in tandem to help extend the life of your
HVAC system. In addition, regular care to your heating and cooling system may also improve your home's energy efficiency and enhance indoor air quality. For more information or to contact a local American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning dealer, go to www.americanstandardair.com.
