Insurance for a home with a Fuse type panel

[Martin Cervantes]

Hello! 

I recently purchased a home in Michigan and it has a fuse type panel. I've called several insurance companies and no one wants to insure it due to the old style panel. I am planning on updating all the electrical as soon as I close, but I still need insurance in the meantime. Any advice on how to navigate this is much appreciated!

Martin,

My best advice for you is to call a couple independent insurance agents in Michigan and explain to them the situation.  It's going to more than likely be a smaller company that will say yes and give you a date as to when you have to have the panel updated or might be a nonstandard company that will write it for a higher premium until you are able to update the box.  Good luck with the new purchase.
