The six parts of a home policy
- Dwelling (A): When a covered loss hits, this limit covers rebuilding your home’s structure; set it to match current local reconstruction costs.
- Coverage B, other structures: Protection for anything detached from the main house, such as a fence, shed, or detached garage.
- Personal property (Coverage C): Your furniture, clothes, and everyday belongings inside the house fall under this coverage, but certain valuable items have lower limits.
- Loss of use (D): When repairs after a covered claim make the house unlivable, this coverage helps with the extra living costs.
- Personal liability (E): Coverage for times when you are legally responsible for another person’s injury or property damage from a covered incident.
- Medical payments (Coverage F): When a guest gets hurt on your property, this covers medical costs, usually without a liability claim being filed.

What affects home insurance costs in Air Force Academy
Air Force Academy homeowners are priced on several connected factors that underwriters review when they build a quote. Expect rebuild cost, the roof’s age and type, and storm and wildfire exposure to matter most. Deductible choice and claims history may move the final premium about as much as the carrier brand.
Think of replacement cost as the price of rebuilding your home with comparable materials at present-day prices. Bigger rebuild figures for Air Force Academy properties generally raise premiums since the carrier’s maximum payout grows with that figure.
Construction type and roof details round out the list: insurers ask frame versus masonry construction, the roofing material, and how solidly the home is built, because those details decide how it handles the wind, hail, and fire seen across Colorado.
Location risk is why neighbors can pay different amounts: insurers grade storm, hail, wildfire, and crime exposure by ZIP code and neighborhood across Air Force Academy.
Insurers score fire protection by protection class and how far away hydrants and stations are; better protection tends to mean lower pricing.
Carriers check claims history on every quote; fresh claims on the property or household often push the price up whether the Air Force Academy policy is new or renewing.
Many insurers weigh a credit-based insurance score where permitted; higher scores generally bring lower prices.
