As the chill of winter sets in, space heaters are a convenient way to add warmth in areas that may lack central heating or need an augmented heat source during colder months, but safety should always be a top priority to avoid potential fires. Follow these crucial tips to prevent space heater fires and create a secure and cozy environment.
There are lots of things you can do to reduce the risk of winter related losses such as frozen pipes. However, if temperatures are extremely cold and you turn on your tap to find a trickle or nothing instead of a steady flow, you probably have frozen pipes somewhere in your home. Water expands when frozen, but pipes do not, which can cause a pipe to burst. If you discover you have frozen pipes, act quickly…don’t wait for them to burst.
Halloween might bring some scares, but having the right insurance coverage can minimize the fright. Homeowners and renters policies can protect you from damage caused by vandalism, fires, or even injuries. Make sure you’re covered this spooky season!
