As summer temperatures rise, Inter-Insurance Agency is calling on property owners to take proactive measures against heat-related risks that can damage homes and commercial buildings. The agency emphasizes that extreme heat can lead to air conditioning failures, electrical problems, roof deterioration, plumbing issues, and increased strain on mechanical systems.
Tim Derham, President of Inter-Insurance Agency, noted that many property owners overlook the potential impact of high temperatures until a problem occurs. "Simple preventative maintenance and understanding your insurance coverage before an issue occurs can make a significant difference when the unexpected happens," Derham said.
Inter-Insurance Agency recommends several seasonal best practices, including scheduling HVAC maintenance, inspecting roofs for signs of wear, checking irrigation systems for leaks, trimming trees that may threaten structures during summer storms, and documenting valuable property. For business owners, ensuring cooling systems operate efficiently is critical to protect employees, customers, inventory, and equipment.
Summer is also an ideal time to review insurance policies to confirm that coverage reflects recent home improvements, business expansions, equipment purchases, or other changes over the past year. "Our goal is to help clients stay informed and prepared. A quick policy review today can provide peace of mind throughout the season," Derham added.
Inter-Insurance Agency, an independent brokerage based in New York, provides personal and commercial insurance solutions for homeowners, businesses, contractors, commercial vehicle operators, financial institutions, and specialty industries. The agency emphasizes personalized service and experienced guidance to help clients protect what matters most.
