California insurers are rewarding homeowners who install smart water shutoff valves with significant premium discounts. Here's how you can save $150–$300 per year while protecting your home.
Many California insurance carriers offer 5–10% discounts on homeowner's insurance for homes equipped with smart water shutoff systems. This typically saves $150–$300 per year, meaning the system pays for itself within a few years.

California insurers are increasingly requiring smart water shutoff valves for policy renewal, especially for older homes and properties with prior water damage claims.
Farmers Insurance has begun requiring Moen Flo installation for some Bay Area homeowners as a condition of policy renewal. Homes built before 1990 and those with previous water damage claims are most affected. This trend is expanding into Southern California markets.
Mercury Insurance offers up to $400 in coverage for the Flo by Moen device itself, plus a 10% premium discount once installed. Their program recognizes that preventing claims benefits both the insurer and the homeowner, making it one of the most generous programs in California.
Nationwide offers a 15% discount on premiums for homes with qualified smart water solutions. Their Smart Home discount program stacks with other safety device discounts, providing even greater savings for homeowners with comprehensive protection systems.
Across all carriers, the standard discount range is 3–10% of annual premiums. Water damage claims account for nearly 30% of all homeowner's insurance claims in California, and insurers are actively incentivizing prevention technology to reduce their exposure.
⚠️ Important: Some California insurers are now requiring smart water shutoff valves rather than just offering discounts. If your insurer has sent a notice about water mitigation requirements, installing a Moen Flo system satisfies most carrier requirements. Contact us to verify compatibility with your specific policy.
