AMELIA, Ohio, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As the leaves change and temperatures drop, the time to winterize your home is here. American Modern Insurance Group®, a leading specialty insurer, offers homeowners and renters easy and effective tips to winterize your home and prevent costly damages caused by cold weather.
According to American Modern, roof collapses due to the weight of ice and snow can be seen as early as November, and peak in February and March. Claims filed for damages caused by freezing pipes begin in December and typically peak in January and February, when deep freezes hit. Before it becomes too late to insulate, these simple steps can be used to properly winterize your home ahead of the freezing temperatures:
"In areas that saw heavy snow events last year such as Buffalo and Boston, we saw the importance of being diligent with your oil supplier and delivery schedules," said Heather Bolyard, Assistant Vice President of Claims Support for American Modern. "Keeping your heat on and at an appropriate temperature is an important step in safeguarding your home from harsh winter conditions."
