IS YOUR HOME READY FOR FREEZING TEMPERATURES? 🏡❄️

Minnesota winters can be beautiful, but freezing temperatures can also create challenges for homeowners.

Before the temperatures really drop, consider a few simple steps:

✔️ Disconnect outdoor hoses

✔️ Insulate exposed pipes where needed

✔️ Check your furnace and replace filters

✔️ Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

✔️ Clear gutters and downspouts

✔️ Know where your main water shutoff valve is located

While you're preparing your home for winter, consider reviewing your homeowners insurance. Have you remodeled your kitchen, finished your basement, added a garage, or made other improvements this year? Changes to your home may mean it's time to review your insurance coverage. Our State Farm team can help answer questions about home insurance and discuss whether your current coverage still fits your needs.
