Insurance companies collect data from each area and know how many claims have been made. Just like roofs, HVACs are expensive to replace and many people scam the insurance company to get a new one. They state it was struck by lightning. (Many of these claims are true but some are not) A new HVAC on the home will protect the insurance company from fraud. Your rates will be lower. In Florida, we pay more for insurance because of many natural disasters AND SCAMS.
