Winter is Coming, Are You Prepared?

Posted: 3 years ago

Winterize your home and make sure you're covered!

Winter weather is coming, regardless of how much we dream of sunshine and beach days. That's why it's important to make sure all areas of your property are ready for low temps, high winds, and ice and snow accumulation. Below, we've collected a few tips to help fight off damage from brutal winters. The most important thing is to make sure your Home policy has the protection you need and deserve.

Indoors:

Check (and service) your heating system for worn or damaged parts
Have your chimney inspected and cleaned, if necessary
Make sure your attic is free from any leaks
Test all smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries

Outdoors:

Make sure the roof is free from damage (repair as necessary)
Make sure gutters are free of debris (can lead to ice buildup)
Have dead trees or low-hanging limbs removed if they may cause damage

While not all-inclusive, a little prepping can go a long way. But most importantly, if anything does go wrong, having the right coverage in place can really save the day. Give us a call (800-686-8664) or chat with us online, we're more than happy to make sure your current coverage is up-to-date or write a new policy that fits your coverage needs. We're here to be Your Insurance Solution Provider.
