Is it bad to switch home insurance companies?

I’ve been with the same home insurance company since I bought my house 12 years ago. I feel like I might be able to find a better rate. Is it bad to switch your home insurance company?

Jack Walsh · Updated on Jan 28, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Well, you have undoubtedly been a loyal customer, but it is not bad to switch home insurance companies!

There are many reasons to switch home insurance companies, but policyholders usually change providers to:

Get a better rate

Purchase different types of coverages

Take advantage of discounts

Find a more responsive insurer

Even if you’re happy with your current provider, it’s always smart to shop around and

before every policy renewal. Rates vary between companies, so shopping around ensures you’re getting the coverage you need at a great price.

If you want to make comparing quotes and purchasing a new home or

policy simple, use

. A licensed broker that offers end-to-end support, the Jerry app gathers affordable quotes, helps you switch plans, and will even help you cancel your old policy. And if you ever have any questions, friendly agents are just a text away.
