Connecticut home insurance: what to know
Connecticut shoreline homes carry hurricane and nor’easter wind risk, often with a separate hurricane deductible.
Even in a moderate-hazard state like Connecticut, standard policies exclude flood and earthquake — check whether your specific location needs either, and insure your home to full replacement cost rather than market value.
