Tips for Extended Vacations

Are you planning to be away from home for an extended period this season? Whether you’re heading out for a long vacation or spending time at a second home, it’s important to ensure your property is properly protected while you’re gone. At Page Insurance, we’re here to help you safeguard your home and peace of mind.

Here are a few tips to consider before leaving:

Home Maintenance:

• Have a trusted neighbor or friend check on your home periodically.
• Consider shutting off the water supply to avoid potential leaks or burst pipes.

Security Measures:

• Install timers for lights to make your home appear occupied.
• Ensure all doors and windows are securely locked, and activate your home security system if you have one.

Insurance Coverage:

• If you’re away for an extended period, let us know so we can review your policy. Some coverage may require updates, especially if your home is unoccupied for longer than usual.

Keep Heating On in Winter:

• In cold weather, leaving the heat on at a low setting (around 55°F) can prevent frozen pipes.

Before you leave, it’s a great time to review your insurance policy to ensure everything is up to date. We’re happy to answer any questions and help adjust your coverage for your time away.

Safe travels and enjoy your time away! As always, we’re here to help with any insurance needs.

Warm regards,

George Page
