Hitchings Insurance Agency Inc.

Set it and forget it is nice for some things in life, but your insurance policy should not be one of them!

It is important to review your renewal declaration pages. When you get that packet in the mail or email in your inbox, take the time to look it over. Verify drivers and vehicles. Review the lender. Does it include the improvements or changes you have made to your property?

Consider how your policy is set up for payment and how documents are delivered. Did you get a new credit card or bank card? Are you paying processing fees for paper statements? Is your contact information up to date?

Taking 15 minutes to review your policy each year can save some headaches later on. We're here to help if you need it.

Is your home equipped with the essentials to help reduce the risk of a fire catastrophe?

Here are some essentials to make sure you have in your home:

Smoke Alarms: One on every level and in every room. Make sure they are up to date and not expired. Replace batteries frequently.

Fire Extinguishers: Keep one in the kitchen and in the garage. Make sure you know how to use them before being in a stressful situation.

Some insurance carriers offer discounts for installing smart sensors that alert your phone at the first sign of trouble. This may be something you should consider proactively instead of reactively!
