Summer in Ohio is beautiful, but it also brings real challenges for homeowners. With thunderstorms, lightning, heavy winds, and even the occasional wildfire threat, your home needs more than just routine upkeep. It needs the right insurance coverage. At Bucher Insurance, we want to make sure your home is protected before the next storm rolls through.
Ohio Weather Can Be Tough on Homes
During the warmer months, Ohio sees more than its fair share of powerful weather. Trees get knocked down. Power surges fry appliances. And sudden fires caused by lightning strikes are more common than most people realize.
If a storm hits your home, will your current policy actually cover the damage? This is a great time to take a closer look.
What Should Your Home Insurance Cover in the Summer?
A good homeowners insurance policy should offer protection from:
- Lightning strikes and the fires they can cause
- Wind damage to your roof, siding, or fencing
- Fallen trees that damage your property or your neighbor’s
- Power outages that lead to food spoilage or equipment loss
- Damage from flying debris or hail
These may seem like small details until something goes wrong. That is when the right coverage can make a big difference.
Tips to Stay Protected This Season
You can also reduce your risk with a few smart habits:
- Trim back overgrown trees and branches
- Secure patio furniture and outdoor items before storms
- Use surge protectors for electronics and appliances
- Review your policy annually, especially before summer
- Ask your agent about specific weather-related endorsements
