Protect your home during the Holiday season.
As the Holiday season approaches, many Canadians take advantage of their vacation days to plan a trip or visit family. But before you head off, your brokers at AGR Insurance want you to remember that your home needs extra protection to prevent against theft and water damaged while you’re away.
AGR suggest the following tips to keep your home protected while vacationing:
- Make a home look occupied when away. Park a car in the driveway and have a neighbor keep it cleared, install an indoor light timer, place newspaper subscriptions on hold and ask a neighbour to collect mail, have your driveways shoveled after every snowfall.
- Install a security device with a loud alarm or flashing lights. Some alarms can contact authorities directly when they have been activated.
- Use deadbolt locks on all doors. Ensure doors, including garages and sheds, are locked and secured. Be sure to remove any house keys from obvious hiding places, such as under doormats or flowerpots.
- Ensure all windows are locked. Consider upgrading to ones with improved locking systems.
- Turn down the heat to no lower than 55 °F (13 °C). A low heat seating will prevent your water pipes from freezing or bursting.
- Have your home checked. Some insurance policies require that if you are away for more than a few days, a responsible party must check your residence daily to ensure an appropriate temperature is maintained to avoid pipes bursting and serious water damage
