As we "spring forward" this March, it's not just about adjusting our clocks—it's the perfect time to refresh your home and ensure everything is running smoothly, including your home insurance. The time change might throw off your sleep schedule for a bit, but with these simple tips, you can make the transition easier while taking steps to protect what matters most.

1. Adjust Your Sleep Schedule—And Your Coverage

Just like you gradually adjust to the time change, it’s important to periodically review your home insurance to ensure it reflects your current needs. Whether you've made home improvements,

acquired new valuables, or experienced any major life changes, updating your policy is a great way to stay ahead.

2. Get Plenty of Sunlight—And Peace of Mind

With longer days ahead, make sure your home is well-lit and secure. Now is a good time to check your home’s security systems, like alarms, lights, and locks. Change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. An extra layer of protection can help prevent losses and minimize the risk of claims.

3. Spring Clean Your Home Insurance

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your house—it’s also the perfect time to review your policy and make sure you're not overpaying for coverage you don’t need. You might find ways to lower premiums by adjusting your deductible or bundling policies. Take a fresh look at your options and see if there’s room for improvement.

4. Get Active—And Stay Prepared

As you get active outdoors this spring, take a walk around your property and assess for any needed repairs or updates—such as fixing leaky roofs or maintaining gutters. Keeping your home in good shape can help prevent damage that might result in a claim.

5. Set Yourself Up for a Smooth Transition

While it might take a few days to adjust to the time change, updating your home insurance can provide you with peace of mind and a fresh start. By staying proactive with your coverage, you’ll be ready for whatever the season brings. Take the opportunity this spring to reset your clocks, refresh your home, and ensure your home insurance is up-to-date.
