Watch: Why Your Home & Auto Insurance Went Up
Dave Rysavy breaks down the three real reasons rates are rising in 2026, and three ways to lower yours.
Read the transcript
If your home or auto insurance jumped at renewal, you're not alone, and it's probably not your fault. I'm Dave with Pro Insurance Group. Let me explain what's really going on, and three things you can do about it. First, why did your rate go up? Three big reasons. One, it costs a lot more to rebuild a home and repair a car than it did just a few years ago. Materials, labor, and auto parts are all up. Two, severe storms have gotten more frequent and more expensive, so carriers spread those losses across everyone. And three, medical and repair costs after an accident keep climbing. Notice what's not on that list. You. Most rate increases have nothing to do with a claim you filed or anything you did wrong. So here's what actually helps. Number one, shop your coverage with an independent agent. We compare A-rated carriers side by side, so you're not stuck with one company's price. Number two, make your policy work smarter. Adjusting your deductible, bundling home and auto, and capturing every discount you qualify for can lower your premium without cutting your protection. And number three, let us re-shop it for you at every renewal, automatically. You should never have to remember to do this. That's our job. At Pro Insurance Group, we do this for families across more than forty states. If your rate went up, don't just pay it. Let us take a look.

What Home Insurance Covers
Dwelling Coverage
Pays to repair or rebuild your home's structure after a covered loss such as fire, wind, or hail.
Other Structures
Covers detached structures like a garage, fence, shed, or deck that are separate from the main house.
Personal Property
Protects your belongings, furniture, electronics, and clothing, whether they are at home or with you on the go.
Personal Liability
Helps cover legal and medical costs if you are responsible for someone else's injury or property damage.
Medical Payments
Pays smaller medical bills for guests injured on your property, regardless of who was at fault.
Loss Of Use
Covers hotel, food, and living expenses if a covered loss makes your home temporarily unlivable.
What Affects Your Rate, And How We Help You Save
Several factors shape your home insurance premium: the age and condition of your roof, the rebuild cost of your home, your location, your claims history, and the protective features you have in place. The good news is that an independent agent has room to work where a single-carrier agent does not.
We lower your cost three ways: by bundling your home and auto for a multi-policy discount, by tuning your deductible to balance premium and out-of-pocket risk, and by matching you to the right carrier for your specific home and history. That carrier matching is where the real savings live. We recently helped a homeowner cut $2,650 a year while improving their coverage simply by moving them to a better-fit carrier.
For a deeper look at how home coverage is structured, the Insurance Information Institute offers a helpful overview. When you are ready for numbers specific to your home, our Illinois home insurance page breaks down local costs, and we serve homeowners in Huntley and across the northwest suburbs.

What Our Clients Say
Home Insurance FAQs
How much is home insurance in Illinois?
It depends on your home's rebuild cost, roof age, location, and claims history. Because we are independent, we compare 20+ carriers to find your lowest qualified rate rather than quoting a single company. The fastest way to see your number is a free quote.
Do you handle canceling my old policy?
Yes. When you switch to us, we coordinate your new policy and cancel the old one for you so there is no gap in coverage and no paperwork on your end.
Can I bundle my home and auto insurance?
Absolutely, and most clients should. Bundling home and auto usually earns a multi-policy discount and simplifies everything into one renewal. We will quote both together and show you the combined savings.
What is replacement cost versus actual cash value?
Replacement cost pays to rebuild or replace without deducting for depreciation. Actual cash value subtracts depreciation, so it pays less. We help you choose the right setting for both your home and your belongings.
Do you write home insurance outside Illinois?
Yes. We are based in Elgin and Huntley, Illinois, and we hold licenses in 40+ states, so we regularly cover second homes, relocations, and out-of-state family members.
