While a fireplace can provide comfort and warmth on a cold winter’s night, there is no denying that it also has the potential to increase your risk for a fire. Because of this, you might wonder how having a fireplace impacts your home insurance policy.
WHAT IF YOU EXPERIENCE A HOUSE FIRE?
The good news is that house fires are generally covered under your insurance policy. As long as the cause of the fire was covered, your coverage can help cover the costs of repairing your home and replacing personal items lost in the fire. Insurance also covers additional living expenses that you might incur if you can’t stay in your house after a fire.
