Snowbirds: How To Protect Your Home While You’re Away For the Winter

Snowbirds: How To Protect Your Home While You’re Away For the Winter

Say goodbye to the cold weather blues and hello to your warm vacation! Secure your home so you can fly away with peace of mind.

Here are a few quick tips for snowbirds:

- Contact your insurance provider to find out if your home policy has specific requirements in the event of theft or damage during your absence - such as someone checking your home regularly.

- Stay on top of seasonal maintenance in and around your home, to prevent damage from unexpected weather and events while you're away.

- Have your furnace serviced if necessary, and consider options like turning the water off and lowering the heat, depending on how long you'll be away.

- Make arrangements with the post office to have your mail held or forwarded, or arrange for someone to pick it up.

- Set some indoor and outdoor lights on a timer, so they turn on and off regularly.

- Installation of a security alarm, video surveillance, and motion sensored lighting will go a long way in deterring theft.

- Enlist someone you know, or hire a contractor to clear your driveway and walks after it snows.
