Look at the size of that footprint!
Reduce your carbon footprint with home upgrades that are good for the environment (BPT) - Consumers today are more mindful about the environmental impact of everything they do, from driving and traveling to energy usage in their homes. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps homeowners can take to save energy and help the environment. BOOST YOUR INSULATION You may already know what areas of your home are poorly insulated, simply by how you feel when it’s cold or hot outside. You can have a professional home energy audit conducted to help pinpoint areas that need improvement. Many energy companies provide an audit free of charge. Start with the attic: If your attic is insufficiently insulated, you could be losing a lot of heat over the winter,
which means your home is wasting energy - and money. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that boosting attic insulation can save 10-50 percent on heating costs. UPGRADE YOUR HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM Heating and cooling your home uses the most energy, so investing in Energy Star certified HVAC products can make a big difference when it comes to cutting energy costs and your home’s impact on the environment. For a new HVAC system in a variety of styles to fit any decor that can be easily installed by a contractor, you might consider wall-mounted duct-free systems from a trusted brand like LG. They offer a variety of ultra-quiet “Art Cool” options (the sleek
Mirror, stylish Premier and unique Gallery, which looks like a picture frame and allows you to display your own artwork). These systems are smart-enabled, allowing homeowners to adjust the temperature from their LG ThinQ app for Android and

Member FDIC
earned the 2019 designation and also features advanced “Reliable to Extreme Degrees” LGRED, heating technology that delivers 100 percent heating capacity down to 5 degrees Fahrenheit and continuous heating down to -13 degrees Fahrenheit. This will keep you warm and comfortable all winter long with remarkable energy efficiency. REPLACE DOORS AND WINDOWS You may be losing a lot of heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer through your doors and windows, especially if they’re older. The latest energy-efficient models of windows and doors not only reduce leaks around the frames, but they’re made from materials that enhance insulation. Doors: According to EnergyStar.gov, energy-efficient doors not only fit better and have improved weather stripping to reduce air leakage, but also use improved core materials for superior insu-
lation. Where glass is used, they reduce heat flow via double- or triple-paned insulating glass. Windows: Energy Star qualified windows use superior framing materials, including multiple panes of glass, with air- or gas-filled space between for additional insulation. They’re made from Low-E (low emissivity) glass, with special coatings to reflect infrared light. Warm edge spacers keep the glass panes the correct distance apart reducing heat transfer through the window. GO SOLAR While most people are aware that solar power harnesses the sun’s energy to create electricity, many don’t know how easy and cost-effective it is to go solar. Choosing just one area to upgrade will save energy, reducing your home’s carbon footprint. You’ll also feel more comfortable throughout the year, as you better regulate the temperature of your home.

Opportunities do not come around every day. Now is the perfect time to replace your windows and doors with Marvin.

How to protect your most valuable asset (BPT) - If you’re like many Americans, your home may be your most valuable asset. That’s why it’s so important to protect it with homeowners insurance. Plus, it’s probably a requirement of your mortgage. Setting up your coverage the right way starts with understanding the major parts of a homeowners policy.
Under most homeowners policies, if you file a claim and have underinsured your home, your payout may be reduced.
Consider the following information and tips from the USAA Home Learning Center:
PERSONAL PROPERTY PROTECTION This protection covers your furniture, clothing and pretty much everything else inside your home. Most policies set the amount of personal property protection as a percentage of the dwelling coverage.
DWELLING PROTECTION This protection covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your home if it’s damaged or destroyed. When you select the amount, keep in mind the cost to rebuild your home is different from its market value. It’s important to get the dwelling coverage right and to monitor it over time to make sure it keeps up with construction costs to rebuild.
Some insurers will help you estimate the rebuilding cost. They take into account the features, materials and finishes that make your home unique.
It may not be enough, though. Homeowners plans set limits on certain highvalue items. If you own expensive jewelry, art, guns, stamps, furs, cameras, computers, silver or collectibles, you’ll want to consider buying valuable personal property insurance. This is
sometimes called a “personal articles floater.” When you set up your homeowners policy, you may have to make an important choice about how to reimburse losses. There are two approaches: Replacement cost. This coverage is the amount needed to replace the property with a comparable, new item.
Actual cash value. This coverage considers depreciation in the value of your property. If your 10-year-old couch is destroyed, you’d receive what it was worth at the time of loss, not the money you’d need to buy a new one. To make your recovery from a loss as smooth as possible, replacement cost coverage is recommended.

LIABILITY COVERAGE This is one of the most important and least appreciated forms of protection offered through homeowners coverage. It protects you if you’re found to be at fault for someone’s injury or property damage. It even covers you for non-automobile incidents away from your home. Generally, it also covers your legal costs associated with such claims against you.
your deductible, the lower your monthly premium.
As a rule, your liability coverage should at least be equal to the total value of your assets for both your homeowners and auto insurance. If your assets are higher than the maximum coverage allowed under the policy, consider purchasing umbrella insurance to cover the difference. This is important to protect the savings and other assets you’ve worked hard to acquire.
WHAT MAY NOT BE COVERED Your policy’s basic coverage won’t cover some special
DEDUCTIBLES As with other types of insurance, a deductible is the part of a loss that you’re responsible for covering out of your own pocket. The higher
Choosing a higher deductible can save you money with a lower monthly premium but increases the risk you take. Consider the amount of cash you typically have on hand in your emergency fund or checking and savings accounts. Make sure you can cover the deductible amount comfortably.
risks. Floods: While a standard policy covers most weather-related events, floods aren’t one of them. Earthquakes: You can add coverage for earth movements to your policy with an extra premium. Home businesses: Homeowners plans provide limited coverage for business equipment. For additional information on protecting your home, visit USAA.com/Homeowners.

Prevent home break-ins
(BPT) - Did you know most burglaries are home breakins? Keeping your home secure is vital to the safety of yourself, your family and your belongings. Here are several simple ideas to increase your personal safety. INSTALL A HOME SECURITY SYSTEM. Security systems offer perhaps the most powerful protection for your home. Even a simple alarm system and a few well-placed signs in your yard and on your windows can greatly diminish the likelihood of home break-ins. If you can afford it, motion sensors on doors and windows, along with 24-hour monitoring, delivers even greater protection. Check for discounts on your home insurance for a monitored security system.
home technology, such as video doorbells and keylocks. These systems are much easier to install now using wireless devices and can help you monitor your home and alert you to potential activity. They also provide a great way to check in on pets when you’re away from home.
DON’T HIDE KEYS OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. For convenience, many people hide a spare key outside near the front door. It might be under the welcome mat, in a planter or on a ledge. If a key is easy for your family or friends to find, it’s also easy for thieves to find. Instead, consider leaving a key with a neighbor you trust. MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOU’RE HOME. Most thieves want to strike while you’re away. With some good sense and creativity, you can fool them into thinking you’re home even
CHECK OUT SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY. Consider investing in security cameras and other smart
when you’re not. Consider purchasing timers that turn your lamps and TV on and off at different hours of the evening. You might also consider a timer for your front porch light. If it’s lit during the day, it could be a telltale sign that you’re away for an extended period. Along that line, don’t let the mail or newspapers pile up when you’re on vacation. Either
suspend service or ask a neighbor to pick them up for you. Check into newer technology lighting that allows you to control lights remotely using your smart device. KEEP THOSE BUSHES TRIMMED. High, full bushes and shrubs around your home are ideal places for thieves to hide while they work on

opening your window. By keeping bushes trimmed and lower to the ground, you’re making it harder for would-be burglars to gain access. INSTALL OUTDOOR LIGHTING. Darkness is a burglar’s best friend. When thieves approach your home and bright lights in their faces suddenly confront them, it can be a strong motivation to move on. Motion-activated lighting systems are inexpensive, easy to install and a great way to put thieves in the spotlight.
Plus, when you come home at night, these lights will switch on and illuminate the path to your door. MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS. Chances are, the neighbors surrounding your home are just as interested in home security as you are. Together, you can create a network of eyes that’s always on the lookout for suspicious behavior. If you’re going out of town, let your neighbors know in advance so they can be extra vigilant.
Financing your dreams is a phone call away.
