As summer temperatures rise, Inter-Insurance Agency is calling on property owners to take proactive measures against the hidden risks extreme heat poses to homes and commercial buildings. The Jericho, New York-based independent insurance brokerage warns that prolonged high temperatures can lead to air conditioning failures, electrical issues, roof deterioration, plumbing problems, and increased strain on mechanical systems.
“Many people don’t think about the impact extreme heat can have on their property until something goes wrong,” said Tim Derham, President of Inter-Insurance Agency. “Simple preventative maintenance and understanding your insurance coverage before an issue occurs can make a significant difference when the unexpected happens.”
The 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. Business owners are advised to ensure cooling systems are operating efficiently to protect employees, customers, inventory, and equipment.
Summer also presents an ideal opportunity to review existing insurance policies to confirm coverage reflects recent home improvements, business expansions, equipment purchases, or other changes from the past year. Derham emphasized, “Our goal is to help clients stay informed and prepared. A quick policy review today can provide peace of mind throughout the season.”
The announcement underscores the often-overlooked financial and safety implications of extreme heat. Without proper maintenance, a failed air conditioning unit or damaged roof can lead to costly repairs and business interruptions. Inter-Insurance Agency, which provides personal and commercial insurance solutions for homeowners, businesses, contractors, commercial vehicle operators, financial institutions, and specialty industries, aims to help clients avoid such scenarios through personalized service and experienced guidance.
