This weekend, protect your home, family, and finances with three essential maintenance tasks:
Fire and CO safety inspection: Test your smoke and CO detectors, replace batteries, verify detector age and placement, and inspect fire extinguishers to prevent becoming one of 2,500+ annual fire deaths—working detectors cut fatalities by 50%
Tire and brake safety: Check your tire pressure, tread depth, and brakes to prevent accidents, avoid costly repairs, and ensure your vehicle can stop safely in any condition
Kitchen appliance maintenance: Run cleaning cycles and check filters on your dishwasher, refrigerator, range hood, and disposal to prevent fire hazards, extend appliance life, and avoid premature $3K-7K replacements
These simple tasks require just 1-3 hours but can save $56K-417K+ in catastrophic repairs, medical expenses, and legal liability while keeping your family safe.

With affordability becoming a growing concern, it’s more important than ever to compare options—check out Money’s handy home insurance tool to find the best fit for you.
