Why Florida insurers reward impact protection
Wind is the largest driver of hurricane claims in Florida, and openings are the most vulnerable part of a home. When you protect every opening with impact-rated windows and doors, you reduce the insurer's risk — and Florida's wind-mitigation credit system passes savings back to you on the wind portion of your premium.
How the credit works
After installing impact windows, a licensed inspector completes a wind-mitigation inspection using Florida's standardized form. Documented opening protection is one of the features that qualifies for premium credits. The exact savings vary by insurer and policy, but for many Brandon homeowners the reduction is substantial.
Steps to claim your discount
- •Install impact-rated windows and doors that meet approval standards.
- •Schedule a wind-mitigation inspection.
- •Submit the completed form to your insurer.
- •Apply the credit at renewal or mid-term where allowed.
