Each month in 2014, we’ll be sharing a short list of tasks that you can do to help take care of your home, vehicle, and family. Consider them a helpful reminder of what needs to get accomplished throughout the month to keep your important items protected.
Here’s the list for the month of March:
Order A Credit Report - March is
Credit Education Month. One of the most
important things you can do to protect your credit score (besides paying your
bills on time) is to closely monitor your credit report.
The credit
reporting agencies make mistakes. That’s
why you must be vigilant in reviewing your report each year and requesting
corrections. This is especially true if
you’ve been the victim of identity theft.
Get a free copy of your report from all major credit bureaus each year
at www.annualcreditreport.com. You can also check your credit score for free
at www.creditkarma.com.
Change Batteries In Your Smoke Detectors
- Such a small task can be a lifesaver if you were to have a home fire. Plan to switch out batteries at every time
change. This month, time will “spring
forward” on March 9th.
Get A Life Insurance Quote
- According to a survey by the Life Foundation, 33% say they don’t have enough
life insurance, including one-fourth who already have a policy!
If this is
you, call us today at 973-948-3200 for a free, no-obligation quote on affordable
life insurance.
Protect Your Kids (And Grandkids) - March is Poison Prevention Month. Go through your home and look for any hazardous chemicals or cleaning supplies that could be easily accessed by a child.
Kitchen and
bathroom sink areas and garages are especially dangerous. Lock these items in a cabinet or place in an
area out of reach. Also make sure to
have the phone number for the local poison control center in case of an
emergency.
Start Landscaping - Yes, it’s
probably a little early for this one...but who isn’t ready to get outside after
a long winter?
Landscaping
can add thousands of dollars in value to your home. Start planning your spring flowers and garden
now.
These should
keep you busy all March long! Let us
know if we can assist you in any way with your auto, home, business, or life
insurance. Call van den Heuvel &
Fountain, Inc. at 973-948-3200 or stop by our office at 122 US Hwy 206, Augusta
NJ 07822.
