March is Asset Management Awareness Month, a reminder to take stock of what you own and how itโ€™s protected.

When we hear โ€œasset management,โ€ we often think of investments, but your assets also include your home, vehicles, business equipment, valuables, and even the contents inside your house. The question isnโ€™t just what they are worth, itโ€™s whether they are properly protected.

Here are three simple steps to strengthen your protection this month:

1. Create or update a home inventory. Photos and a room-by-room list can make claims smoother and more accurate.
2. Review your coverage limits. Rising construction and replacement costs can leave policies outdated.
3. Talk to your broker about gaps. Umbrella policies, sewer backup, overland water, or equipment breakdown coverage are often overlooked.

Insurance isnโ€™t just a policy; itโ€™s a strategy to protect everything youโ€™ve worked hard to build.

If itโ€™s been a while since you reviewed your coverage, this is your sign. Reach out, and letโ€™s make sure your assets are protected the way they should be.

Did you know a single vehicle can have over $9,000 in glass components?

Modern vehicles are not equipped with basic windshields anymore. Todayโ€™s glass often includes built-in sensors, heating elements, calibration technology, and panoramic roof systems. Between the windshield, side glass, back glass, and roof glass, many average passenger vehicles now have over $7,000 in glass parts alone.

That means a simple crack or chip can turn into a much more expensive repair than most drivers expect.

At McFarlane Agencies, we offer AMI Autoglass Insurance as an optional add-on for clients who want dedicated glass protection.

Here is why many drivers choose it:

โ€ข Separate from your auto policy
โ€ข Glass claims do not affect your primary insurance
โ€ข $25 deductible covers up to 3 chip repairs
โ€ข $50 replacement deductible if the damage cannot be repaired
โ€ข Most premiums are less than 55 cents per day

Beyond cost, properly maintained auto glass is part of your vehicleโ€™s structural integrity. In the event of an accident, a sound windshield helps protect everyone inside.

It is a small annual premium that can prevent a much larger out-of-pocket expense and give you added peace of mind on the road.

If you are not sure what your current policy covers for glass, we are happy to review it and walk you through your options.

Nobody plans to be in a car accident, but knowing what to do afterward can make a big difference in your safety, your stress level, and your insurance claim.

๐Ÿš— Right after the accident
โ€ข Stay calm and make sure everyone is safe.
โ€ข If itโ€™s safe, move your car out of traffic and turn on your hazard lights.
โ€ข Check for any injuries โ€” call 911 if anyone needs medical help.
โ€ข Exchange contact and insurance info with the other driver(s).
โ€ข Take photos of the scene, damage, and any relevant road conditions.

๐Ÿ“ž Report the accident
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible โ€” ideally within 24 hours โ€” to start your claim and get guidance on next steps. Theyโ€™ll walk you through what to document and what to expect.

๐Ÿงพ Keep good records
Save everything: photos, receipts, repair estimates, medical bills, and any communication related to the accident or your claim. These details help protect you and keep the process moving smoothly.

Save this post or share it with someone who might need it one day. Reach out, weโ€™re here to make insurance simple, clear, and stress-free.๐Ÿ“ž (403) 938-4898

Building a new home is a major investment, and protecting it properly starts long before move-in day. From purchasing the land to handing over the keys, having the right insurance in place ensures there are no gaps in coverage along the way. McFarlane Agencies offers a specialized insurance program designed for both builders and homeowners, providing continuous protection throughout construction and beyond.

Course of Construction (COC) Insurance, also known as Builderโ€™s Risk Insurance, is designed to protect the project while itโ€™s being built. This coverage applies to direct physical loss or damage during construction, including materials on-site, in transit, or stored off-site. Common covered risks include fire, theft, and flood. To help secure the best possible premiums, itโ€™s important to call before you dig. For commercial builds, we also offer access to a blanket COC option, providing added flexibility and broader protection across projects.

Once construction is complete and the home is occupied, coverage transitions to a standard homeownerโ€™s insurance policy. This policy protects the dwelling, personal belongings, and personal liability, and includes additional living expenses if a covered loss temporarily makes the home uninhabitable.

Working with McFarlane Agencies means your investment is protected at every stage, from the first shovel in the ground to life after move-in. Our tailored approach ensures both your build and your home are covered without interruption.

Winter-related home damage is something we see every year in Alberta, especially with our extreme temperature swings. Some of the most common issues homeowners experience during the colder months include:

1๏ธโƒฃ Ice dams โ„๏ธ
Ice dams form when snow melts on a warmer roof and refreezes at the eaves. This can trap water and push it back under shingles, sometimes leading to interior water damage.

2๏ธโƒฃ Attic moisture / attic rain ๐Ÿ’ง
Warm, moist air from inside the home can rise into the attic. During cold snaps, that moisture can freeze and later thaw, dripping back down onto insulation or ceilings. Itโ€™s often mistaken for a roof leak but is usually caused by condensation.

3๏ธโƒฃ Frozen or burst pipes ๐ŸงŠ
Pipes in exterior walls, basements, or unheated areas can freeze during extreme cold. When they thaw, escaping water can cause sudden and significant damage.

Catching problems early and understanding your coverage can make a big difference.
