GA Insurance Commissioner Announces “Green” Coverage
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia residents who make their houses
environmentally friendly with solar panels and recycled building
materials can now get homeowners insurance specially designed for
"green" homes.
State insurance commissioner John Oxendine announced Tuesday
that his office has approved the first-ever green homeowners
insurance policies in Georgia. The program - through the
California-based Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. - guarantees that a
damaged or destroyed home will be rebuilt with green methods and
materials.
Georgia joins 26 other states where green insurance is
available. Fireman's officials say about two dozen Georgia
homeowners have signed on so far.
