Home Insurance
Home Insurance rates vary in the KRV, and some homes in especially high fire risk areas may only qualify for a state plan. Please visit our business directory for a listing on our member insurance brokers that can answer your questions about your specific property. Fred Clark is the current president of our chamber of commerce.
Which company will service your home will depend on your address. Please contact your realtor to verify.
The two largest companies that serve the KRV are California Water or CalWater and the Erskine Creek Water Company. Some residences in the KRV have their own private well and generally turn to the Piute Pump Company with questions about servicing an existing well or installing a new one.
​
All three are proud members of the Kern River Vallet Chamber of Commerce.
​
Some households have installed solar panels to generate electricity. Most are grid-connected installations, while some are completely "off-grid." Contact chamber member Barnes Bargains for information about solar installation & maintenance.
​
Another consideration is emergency power during outages, and many homes keep one or more generators on hand for that purpose. Inquire with Barnes Bargains about generator options, from whole house systems, to independent units.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with county building codes pertaining to solar installations and other improvements to your home. You can also use the link below to determine what permits have been requested for improvements to your home.
Trash service is provided by chamber member Thomas Refuse Service. Visit their site for more info. However, the Kern River Valley also has a local county-run "transfer station" (some refer to it as the "local dump") and many residents frequent the transfer station to drop off bulk waste, such as yard clippings, tires, electronics, used oil, and more:
