In the spirit of the season, we thought we’d share some important reminders and tips to help you navigate your insurance needs during the holiday season and into the new year. Holidays are a time for celebration, but they can also bring unique risks. Here are a few quick tips to ensure you and your property stay safe:
- If you’re decorating with lights, check for any frayed wires or exposed cords. Never leave lights on when you’re out of the house.
- If you’re traveling, consider a home security system or a trusted neighbour to watch over your property as well as locking up valuable items, and being mindful of deliveries left unattended
- Fire Safety: Check your smoke alarms and be cautious with holiday lights, candles and cooling devices (ie, fans and portable air conditioning units)
- Accidents: Be mindful of road conditions, especially if travelling, and keep insurance details handy in case of emergencies.
