Does your homeowners insurance company have a large amount of customer complaints? Will you have problems placing a claim, or have a valid claim delayed or denied? Do you really know if your company is good or bad? Most consumers fail to check the complaint records of their insurance companies. This blog post provides complaint information for the 40 largest (by Texas market share) home insurance companies, covering over 92% of the Texas home insurance market, and rates them based on their 2010 complaint record (2011 complaint records are not available yet). Learn about the best & worst companies.

I’m always blogging to help you get the best policies and prices for auto, home, & life insurance, so bookmark or place my website in your favorites!

The Texas Department of Insurance website is the source of my information about market share. I provide the national complaint index for each homeowners insurance company from my Home & Auto Insurance Company Reviews, but many of the insurance companies are subsidiary insurance companies doing business mainly in Texas, so the national complaint rating may be considered a good proxy, for the number of valid complaints submitted against the company, by Texas consumers. You can find out more about the source of the national complaint information I use on my website.

I devised a letter grade system, using the national complaint ratios for the home insurance companies listed, to make it easy to tell an insurance company with a great or good complaint record, from an insurance company with a poor or average complaint record.

Check out my website home page for more complaint ratios, and JD Power customer satisfaction ratings, for homeowners insurance companies (or to find complaint information regarding auto insurance) not on this list.

Here is my grading system. I also list the national complaint ratio (the lower the number the better the complaint record).

A+ = Insurance companies with complaints 25% or less than the average insurance company.

A = Insurance companies with complaints 50% or less than the average insurance company.

B = Insurance companies with complaints 90% or less than the average insurance company.

C = Insurance companies with complaints from 90% to 110% of the average insurance company.

D = Insurance companies with complaints from 110% to 200% of the average insurance company.

F = Insurance companies with complaints over 200% of the average insurance company. More than twice as much as average!

Consider these grades, along with price and other factors (as listed on my website), when choosing an home insurance company.

Insurance companies frequently have several subsidiary homeowners insurance companies. Make sure you know the correct name of the insurance subsidiary quoting or insuring you, to check the proper complaint grade.
