It’s time for another energy-saving idea–this one is sure to be a “fan” favorite!

❄️Today’s Cool Tip ❄️ Turn a room’s ceiling fans on in addition to your air conditioning. Doing so will allow you to set your A/C unit at a slightly higher temperature and feel just as cool (though the temperature won’t actually change). On the flip side, when you leave a room, be sure to turn your fan off to avoid an unnecessary drain on electricity ⚡

At Rocket City Insurance Group, we are always open to feedback and reviews 💬 Recently, we received some glowing praise from one of our clients that we just had to share:

“Josh and his well experienced staff are not only friendly and willing to help, they are all dedicated to getting me the best coverage, as well as the best prices available. My wife and I have shopped other agencies and have found Rocket City Ins. to find us the best prices and coverage. We don't shop anymore, because we know we can trust Rocket City to take care of our needs. Other agencies should have the determination, dedication and desire to satisfy their customers as Josh and Staff.”

We’re back today with another home energy tip: If you’re looking to keep your energy costs ⬇️ as temps ⬆️, below is a window into how to do just that.

❄️Today’s Cool Tip ❄️Uncovered windows facing south or west can heat your house up, making your A/C work harder to keep your home cool. Since windows in these directions absorb most of the sun’s heat, it’s a good idea to invest in good blinds or window coverings and keep these windows covered during the day.

In today's fast-paced world, protecting your loved ones is a top priority 👪❤️ That’s why I wanted to address a crucial aspect of securing their future.

How, you ask? Gap insurance! If you’re wondering what gap insurance is, read below ⬇️

🚗 Gap insurance covers “gaps” in what your vehicle is worth and the amount left on your loan at the time of an incident.
🚗 If your car is stolen or declared a total loss, gap insurance kicks in to cover the difference.
🚗 You can generally only buy gap insurance within three years of purchasing a new car.
🚗 Gap insurance is incredibly affordable, only around $20 a year.

Temps are rising out there —and unfortunately, so are many Americans’ energy bills 🔥 The good news is there are steps you can take to reduce your home’s energy costs in these warmer months.

To help you out, we’ll be sharing a few such steps, starting with some advice on air conditioning best practices:

❄️Today’s Cool Tip ❄️ In addition to scheduling regular maintenance, regularly vacuum air intake vents and ensure objects aren’t blocking vents. Interestingly enough, you’ll also want to keep lamps and TV sets away from your thermostat, as these can emit heat and make your A/C unit think the room is hotter than it is.

Got the best mailman greeter and squirrel chaser in the biz? While most of our dogs are usually all bark and no bite, incidents involving even the most well-trained dogs do sometimes happen–and owners need to be prepared.

The good news: your homeowners policy will cover an incident occurring on your property in most cases. But there are several common exclusions to such coverage, including for:

- Certain prohibited breeds
- Any trained guard or attack dog
- Any animal that has a history of biting (public record or prior claim)
- Any other animal deemed dangerous, vicious, or potentially dangerous under state statute

Today, I want to address an important aspect of life insurance that I often get asked about. Many people have life insurance in place, but they forget to adjust their policy as their income grows over the years 📈

The truth is, a policy that "fit" in your twenties may no longer provide the necessary coverage later in life. After all, the primary purpose of life insurance is to take care of your loved ones when you're no longer there, and their needs evolve as time goes on ⏳

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out and let me help ensure your coverage matches your current financial situation!

We've got bad news—and better news—to share today. The bad news: weather-related disasters are surging, and they will likely continue to increase in the coming years ⛈️

The better news? You can simply and easily protect your property from costly impacts down the road by bundling flood with your homeowners insurance. Keep in mind that traditional homeowners policies don't cover flooding.

If you'd like to explore coverage options further or if you have questions, reach out to our team of independent agents anytime. We're always here to help 🤝

Happy Earth Day! 🌱 Remember, every small action counts, whether it's recycling more or adopting eco-friendly habits at home or work.

Did you know a burglary happens once every 30 seconds in the United States? If that statistic has you wondering whether you really did lock your door, we get it…and may have done a quick check ourselves 👀

Once you get back from double (or triple) checking, here are some other steps you can take to protect your home when you’re out and about:

💡 Install motion sensor lighting outside as a deterrent at night.
📵 Limit announcing your whereabouts on social media. While you may know most everyone on your friend list, more people can see social media activity than you may realize.
⏰ Consider installing an alarm system. Alarm systems have come a long way--they're easy to install and even easier to operate. Many will notify the company and/or the police if the alarm is tripped.
🎥 Install cameras. Cameras act as a deterrent and can help catch individuals who wander onto your property. Perimeter or porch cameras are easy to install and operate.

How does saving thousands of dollars in car repairs sound? We’re here to share some maintenance tips that may do just that! Check them out below:

🔧 Check your spare tire - It’s just as important to keep the backup tire inflated as it is to the four tires under your car. Test the air pressure of your driving tires and spare tire once a month.

🔧 Change the oil - Since oil affects many of your car’s functions, oil problems can be costly to fix. Pay as little as $25 to change your oil, and generally do so every 5,000 miles.

🔧 Keep the battery clean - If you don’t keep it clean, it could develop a crack or not function properly. Test your battery twice a year and inspect it for corrosion.

🔧 Replace the brake pads - Check the brake fluid every time you change the oil. If it’s dark in color, reach out to a mechanic to get your brake fluid changed and see if a new system is needed.

🔧 Replace your air filter - Change your air filter every 12 months or 12,000 miles, as using an old air filter can lead to significant – and costly – problems for your air conditioning system.

🔧 Get your tires rotated - Rotate your tires every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, and you can extend their life–and save yourself $400 to $800 for a brand-new set of four.

Question: How much does a single call to a lawyer cost? Answer: Roughly the same as a $1 million umbrella liability insurance policy.

No, that wasn’t the punchline of a bad joke–just a reality for some people who haven’t purchased an umbrella liability policy and face a legal issue not covered by their home or auto policy 😬

That’s why we’re spreading the word about umbrella liability insurance, which provides complete protection beyond your current home and auto policies and protects you against being sued for damages that other policies won’t cover.

And yes, an entire year of coverage costs the same as just one call to a lawyer Interested? Give us a call.

Home repairs can cost thousands of dollars, but the good news is that many issues can be prevented through regular maintenance. Take a look at a few key ways to maintain your home and prevent costly repairs:

🏠 Clean the gutters - Gutters full of debris can lead to costly water damage. Check your gutters every spring and fall, clearing away muck, sealing leaks, and replacing any damaged gutters,

🏠 Trim your trees - Fallen tree branches cause $1 billion in home damage annually. For properties with trees, bring in a professional tree trimmer each year to trim and identify issues.

🏠 Replace HVAC filters - Changing your air filter can prolong the life of your A/C unit, make the unit work more efficiently, and maintain higher air quality in your home.

🏠 Clean out your dryer vent - Cleaning out your dryer vent not only keeps the appliance running efficiently, increasing longevity, but it also will keep your dryer from sparking a fire.
