Home Warranties:

Farmers Homeowners Plus Home Warranty is an in-home insurance policy designed to keep you home running smoothly. It picks up where your homeowner's leaves off, covering major components from the wiring in your walls to the washer and dryer in the hallway.

Ways to Protect Your Home:
  •  Smoke detectors: Installing a smoke detector in every bedroom and keeping one centrally located on each floor of your home.  Test smoke detectors monthly, and replace batteries once a year.
  • Be prepared: Make sure all family members know how to dial 911, and practice a fire drill every 6 months. Arrange a central meeting place at a tree or other landmark in front of your house.  Train family members to go straight to the meeting place after  they leave the house.  Teach children never to go back in the house, and never hide under beds or in closets.
  • Prevent fires: Keep your home free of oily rags and trash buildup, and keep cleaning materials in a ventilated area and away from any heat source.
  • Never overload circuits. Check your lamps, appliance cords, and light switches to make sure there is no faulty wiring.
  • Child-proofing your home. Purchase safety plugs to reduce shock hazard, store all household chemicals out of reach of children, and keep adult sporting goods in locked cabinets.
  • Backyard safety. Put garden and game equipment away after use, surround swimming pool by a high fence, and never let children swim unattended.
  • Prevent Hot Water Burns: Reduce the temperature of your hot water to between 120 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit by turning down the control of your hot water heater.
  • Be a careful cook. Never wear long sleeves when you cook, as they can catch fire. Keep the handles of you pots tuned inward so the pots can't be knocked over, and never put foil or other metals in the microwave oven.
  • Prevent poison: never store inedible products in the same place as food. Discard leftover medications by flushing them down the toilet.
  • Candles are becoming more popular, and so are accidents with them. Never leave a lit candle unattended.
  • Never smoke in bed! Careless smoking is a leading cause of fire deaths in the United States.
