Buying a house is probably the most important and expensive investment you undertake during your lifetime. Therefore, it’s crucial to protect it against natural calamities like lightning, earthquake etc. Natural disasters seldom come with a warning. Lightning, especially, poses a major risk to your property as it can cause a fire, damage the wiring, cause short circuits, and ruin electrical appliances. It can also cause damage through power surges. Your personal belongings, such as fittings, furniture, household appliances and other goods may get damaged. In some instances,a house might also have to be rebuilt after getting struck by lightning. And this can prove to be a big blow financial and emotionally.
While there is nothing much you can do to control or prevent such calamities, you can avail a comprehensive home insurance with lightning coverage. Damages caused by lightning won’t just cover the damages done to the structure of the house, but also those damages that are incurred by your personal belongings,like fixtures and fittings, electrical appliances and other possessions. Though lightning coverage is not available as a standalone policy,it can be included in home insurance plans.
Since you pour all your life’s savings into buying your dream home,this is the place where you create precious memories with your loved ones and watch your dreams turn into reality. Needless to say, it holds a lot of emotional value. Therefore, it is advisable to take a home insurance policy that provides coverage against lightning too. Such a policy has several benefits
Coverage for the structure of the house as well as electrical equipment and other fixtures and fittings
Damage caused by power surges, short circuit or fire caused by lightning
All electronic equipment
Cost of repair and replacement of electronic and household appliances
Alternate accommodation while your home is being restored after the lightning strike
