“With Connections Home our agent partners can tailor a homeowners program to the unique needs of their diverse customers, all while giving their clients more say in what their insurance policy will look like,” said Jim Hyatt, president of The Hanover’s personal lines group.
Agents can quote Connections Home for policies effective on April 16

Connections Home will be available in four additional states for policies effective on April 30th including Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Connections home will be available in Georgia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Virginia later in 2007.
Connections Home is available in the following packages, which can vary based on state mandate:
— Basic: A competitively-priced plan for cost-conscious homeowners that includes replacement cost protection up to a dwelling’s value.
— Select: Offers the same coverage as Basic, as well as extended dwelling replacement cost, personal property replacement cost (Caps value by state), refrigerated products coverage and lock replacement. In addition, there are three limit increases over basic for contents, damage to property of others and Fire Department service.

In addition, there are many limit increases over Select Plus, including water back-up, sump overflow and mysterious jewelry disappearance.
