*Side note some policies may offer "Repair Cost" settlement which is a nice option that falls in the middle of RCV and ACV and may not require you to insure the dwelling at the full replacement cost estimate.For those outside the major Ohio cities you may have a small stroke hearing someone say to insure it for less than the full RCV.
