Your home insurance policy pays out a maximum amount, or limit, when it comes to certain property. In case of a loss, your indemnity will never exceed the amount stated under the policy.
If you feel that the limits are lower than the value of some of the items you own, talk to your home insurer or broker and ask for a higher coverage for them.
