New Season, New Risks

Seasonal Shifts
As the seasons change, so do the risks to your property, vehicle, and lifestyle. Whether it’s hurricanes in summer or freezing pipes in winter, updating your insurance and taking simple precautions can save you thousands.
What to Review Every Season
-
- Make sure your deductibles still match your emergency fund.
-
- Consider raising them if you're looking to reduce premiums — but only if you can afford it!
-
- Did you renovate your home, upgrade appliances, or add valuables? Update your homeowners policy.
-
- Added a new RV, boat, or business vehicle? Add them before the season starts.
-
Spring/Summer: Flooding, hurricanes, water damage, tree falls
-
Fall/Winter: Frozen pipes, heating fires, icy car accidents, power outages
Maintenance Tips That May Earn Discounts
-
a) Install storm shutters or a sump pump
-
b) Keep your roof and gutters in good shape
-
c) Use winter tires and garage storage for your vehicle
-
d) Install a smart thermostat or fire/smoke detectors
Many of these upgrades qualify for insurance discounts — talk to your agent to confirm.
