Protecting Your Home While You're on Vacation

The summer is winding down, but that doesn’t mean it’s over. There’s still time to plan a vacation, and I’m sure many of you have a vacation planned during the next few weeks. However, if you’re leaving behind a vacant home, you want to be sure that it’s protected while you’re gone. In order to do that, you should talk with an agent about your home insurance coverage.

Little things such as setting your lights on timers, having a neighbor cut the grass and get your mail, and having a friend or family member check on the place while you’re away are a good idea. Security systems are also beneficial from a safety, and an insurance standpoint! But your homeowner’s insurance coverage ensures that your valuables are protected, your property is safe from damage and you’ll have the liability should something happen on your property when you’re not there. Talk with an agent about your coverage and limits, and see whether you’re well protected!
