Choosing a New Washing Machine and Protection with New York Homeowners Insurance
Brand new washing machine!
Are you considering replacing that old workhorse, your washing machine? The washing machine truly is a labor saving device: just think how many hours you’d spend at the wash tub each week if you had no washing machine. Because washing machine technology is fairly straightforward the appliances are quite reliable but when things do go wrong with a washing machine there’s a risk of flooding, water damage and claims on your New York homeowners insurance.
It’s a good idea to spend some time researching the types of washing machines that are available, because your new washing machine will probably be used regularly for many years. Some of the factors that you might want to consider include:
- Top loading styles are more popular and affordable and are also easier to load and unload than front loading styles.
- Washing machines with high EnergyStar ratings are more energy efficient and more economical to run than machines with lower ratings.
- Front loading washing machines use less water than top loading machines.
Floods in laundry rooms are most often caused by split or damages water hoses. Keep an eye on the hoses and connections during the years your machine is in use, and replace hoses immediately if you notice signs of wear or damage. Regular inspection of your washing machine might help to prevent a washing machine failure, and avoid the inconvenience of mopping up after a floor flood and the drama of filing a New York homeowners insurance claim.
