The Sacramento Claims Association presented Mr. Jim Nolt, PE, from JH Nolt Associates - Electrical, Mechanical, & Corrosion Engineers as the guest speaker at their February 11, 2016 Luncheon Meeting. Mr. Nolt went through a list of potential hazards we all live with on a daily basis that we should all be aware of in our homes and businesses.He spoke extensively about the shortfalls and perils of powerstrips and extension cords. Surge protectors, he said, can actually wreck the most havoc. The MOV devises that prevent surges from destroying appliances can become damaged and catch fire. He recommended Metal Power strips.

People tend to plug too many appliances into one power strip, he also said. Other possible fire hazards include attic exhaust fans, which should be cleaned periodically. Jim showed an attic fire that the fan blade had broken away from its spindle, the friction resulting in a fire.He suggested listening to the sounds appliances make.

Insurance Commissioner Reaches Agreement to Reduce Homeowner Insurance Rates Average statewide decrease of 12.6 percentSACRAMENTO, Calif. - Insur-ance Commissioner Dave Jones announced February 17, 2016 that he has reached an agreement with Allstate Insurance Company and Allstate Indemnity Insurance to reduce Allstate's homeowner insurance rates statewide by an average of 12.6 percent, effective February 1, 2016."Reducing Allstate's home in-surance rates is a big help for families as incomes fail to keep pace with family expenses," said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. "Once again, Califor-nians have benefited from the insurance commissioner's rate regulation authority for home insurance rates and the public intervenor process."Rate regulation in California applies to homeowners, auto, and other property and casualty insurance. Insurers must get approval from the insurance commissioner before they can raise or lower rates. The insur-ance commissioner approves rates

sufficient to cover claims costs, rea-sonable administrative expenses and a reasonable return for the insurance company. The Commissioner has the authority to reject excessive home insurance rates.Consumers are entitled to "in-tervene" or participate in Cali-fornia's rate regulation admin-istrative process. Consumer Watchdog, a consumer advocacy organization, intervened and participated in the negotiations led by the Department of Insur-ance with Allstate.The amount of a decrease and whether a policyholder receives a decrease depends on a number of factors, including the location of the insured property, and other individual risk characteristics and coverage features. The stated average annual decrease will re-portedly be approximately $230. The rate reduction obtained by the Commissioner is retroactive to February 1st. Eligible homeowners whose policies already renewed on

February 1 will receive refunds. The commissioner also approved a new coverage option added by All-state which allows policyholders to select a separate higher deductible for wildfire peril and a lower one for other risks, such as fire not re-lated to wildfire, water damage or burglary. The separate deductible option allows consumers to further reduce their overall premium."Allstate should be recognized for giving homeowners more flexibility to decide whether to reduce their premium by opting for a higher deductible for wildfire peril," said Jones.Since 2011, when Jones took office, the department has processed nearly 40,000 property and casualty insur-ance rate filings under Proposition 103, the voter enacted rate regula-tion law. The Commissioner reduced the overall amount of requested rate increases by $974 million and approved over $1.3 billion in rate reductions, totaling over $2.3 billion in savings to California consumers and businesses, the CDI reports. This total is said to include approxi-mately $803 million in rate reduc-tions for personal auto coverage and $455 million in rate reductions for personal homeowners coverage.MEDIA NOTESRate reduction examples since 2011:QBE reduced lender-placed homeowner rates by 35 percentAmerican Assurance Insurance
