Consider safety when you remodel your kitchen and have our Homeowners Insurance in Georgia for protection!

Are you planning to remodel or update your kitchen? In planning the layout, the appliances, and fittings to be installed in it, make safety a high priority. By creating a safer kitchen, you can help to avoid some of the kitchen accidents that give rise to claims on homeowners insurance in Georgia.

Remodeling your kitchen is a perfect opportunity to design a kitchen layout that is efficient and safe:

 

• Aim to position the stove, refrigerator, and sink so as to provide what kitchen designers call a “work triangle”.  Most of the work in your kitchen will be done within this triangle, and careful placement of appliances creates an efficient food preparation space.
• Make sure that you have adequate power outlets and switches for all of the appliances you will be using in your kitchen.
• Choose energy efficient appliances. In the appliance showroom look for labels with high Energy Star ratings that have been designed with safety in mind and are more economical to operate.
• Make sure that you read and understand the instructions for any new kitchen appliances that you install. Keep user manuals in a handy place so that you can easily refer to them if you need to check on safe operation of your new appliances.

 

Emphasizing safety in kitchen design can help to reduce the risk of kitchen accidents. Remember to talk to your agent about your plans to remodel your kitchen, as investment in remodeling your kitchen may have implications for homeowners insurance in Georgia!
