If you take a look at the "Exclusions" section of your policy you will see several perils which are specifically excluded. For example, if your home is damaged by "war" then your insurance company will not provide coverage for the loss. There are several excluded perils. Take a look at your policy for more examples.

Can homeowners insurance be replaced by another insurance?

If you are required to carry homeowners insurance by, say, the bank through which you have your loan, you can switch to another provider for insurance at any time (there are a few forms you would need to fill out, but your new agent would be able to help you with that). You wouldn't be able to switch to another kind of insurance, though. The new policy would need to be a homeowners policy.

If you don't carry homeowners insurance and you have your home financed, you are breaking the contract and your bank will take out a forced place policy to cover their interest in the home and you will have to pay the premium which is far more than a homeowners policy. If it's not financed, you take the entire risk of loss upon yourself.

An HO-3 policy is considered an "all risk" policy, meaning a loss is covered unless it is specifically excluded. Review the "exclusions" portion of your policy to see what type of losses are excluded. An HO-3 policy affords an insured more protection than any other policy. I would recommend purchasing the HO-3 policy if you are in the market for insurance.
