Summer is coming to a close and air conditioning is no longer needed. But before we head into winter, when we close up our windows and turn on our heat, we have some time to air out our homes and get them smelling fresh and clean. Opening your windows and airing out your home can improve the air quality in your home. Along with these other tips you can have a fall filled with freshness.

September is National Preparedness Month. It is a time to regroup and help your family understand what to do in case of an unexpected situation occurs. Along with natural disasters like wild fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornados, families need to prepare for heavy storms and broken pipes which can cause water damage to a home. Families also need to prepare for unexpected household fires that may start in the kitchen or by a grill. Maybe an electric heater was left on or a candle was left burning. Being prepared can help get family members out of the home in a timely and safe manner. Being prepared by documenting the details of your home both before and after can help when submitting a complete claim to your insurance agent for reimbursement. Being prepared can help you locate important documents that might help you immediately or in the future. Being prepared can keep your family safe!
