Go Green and save on your insurance policies!
With global climate change more people are going green. From recycling to water conservation, there are various ways to change your habits to help save the planet, including insurance options. Whether you’re looking to save on your personal or business insurance, check out these ways you can save some green while going green!
- Pay-As-You-Drive. The less you drive, the more you save. Pay-As-You-Drive programs offer drivers the opportunity to track their driving and potentially give you a discount on your auto insurance. Insurance companies will track your driving with GPS or odometer readings, and give you a discount on your insurance if you drive less than the average driver.
- Alternative Energy Use. When you use alternative energy your insurance bill benefits. These discounts apply for both auto and homeowners insurance. Drive a car that uses electricity, or biodiesel? Have solar panels installed in your home? You may be eligible for insurance discounts.
- Hybrids. Have a hybrid vehicle? From boats to cars, a hybrid vehicle may save you up to 10 percent on your insurance policies.
- LEED Properties. Homes that meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards may get a discount on their homeowners insurance.
- Use Environmentally-Friendly Building Materials. When looking for an insurance policy, look into whether or not you can opt for “green” rebuilding materials.
- Upgrade to More Efficient Machinery. Whether in an office or a home, look for more efficient materials. Appliances marked with an Energy-Star label indicate that they meet requirements placed by the EPA. Also consider implementing efficient lighting, and water conserving plumbing.
