Spring Into Safety: Easy Ways to Prep Your Home and Car for the Season

Spring has sprung, and with it comes longer days, blooming flowers, sunshine, and the perfect excuse to freshen things up! While you’re decluttering closets and airing out the house, don’t forget that your home and car deserve a little seasonal TLC too.

Here are some simple, feel-good ways to help keep your property safe and sound this Spring:

Home Sweet (Safe) Home:

• Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Give them a test and replace the batteries if needed.
• Trim back any overgrown trees or shrubs. This helps prevent fire hazards and deters break-ins.
• Clean out gutters and downspouts. Spring showers are coming—make sure your drainage is ready.
• Review your homeowners insurance. Spring is a great time to double-check your coverage and update your inventory if you’ve added new items over the winter. 

Ready to Roll:

• Inspect your tires. Look for wear, and check the pressure as temperatures warm up.
• Top off fluids and schedule an oil change. Spring driving often means more weekend getaways—make sure your vehicle is ready.
• Clean out your trunk. Less weight = better gas mileage. Plus, you never know what winter leftovers are hiding in there!
• Look into roadside assistance options. Whether it’s already included in your policy or something you want to add, knowing you’ve got backup is peace of mind on wheels.

Spring is all about fresh starts, so there’s no better time to make sure your home and auto are protected, prepped, and ready for the road (or backyard BBQ).
