Is your home safe for children?

Posted by Help Now on December 3rd, 2015

Moving into a new home? If you have children, it's a great time to make sure your home is safe for the smallest members of your household. Did you know that the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital found that nearly 15,000 children visit emergency rooms every year because of injuries caused by overturned furniture? Most of those injuries happened at home, involving children younger than 7 years.

So how do these injuries happen? Generally, they come from climbing. Children spot a toy atop a dresser or bookshelf and decide to monkey their way to it. The unfortunate result is that the child’s weight tips the furniture over. When it comes to television sets – which constitute about half of all injuries – the problem usually comes from…

Rookie homebuyer financial moves to avoid

Posted by Help Now on November 17th, 2015

Getting ready to buy a home? Now isn't the time to make any major financial changes. Major money moves while you're in the market for a new home can make the mortgage application process much more challenging. Here are a few tips:

1. Think twice about canceling credit cards you haven’t used in years. Using only a low percentage of your available credit may assist in proving you can live within your means and may boost your credit score.

2. You may want to avoid refinancing a car loan or other long-term debt in order to pay it off sooner. Your monthly debt-to-income ratio can be a factor in deciding your credit score, and adding more monthly debt in the form of higher payments over a shorter term can make it harder to achieve the ratio your…

It's time to get your home and yard ready for winter

Posted by Help Now on November 13th, 2015

It won’t be long before we feel the chill of winter approaching. Is your home ready? The good news is that winterizing your home doesn't have to be costly or time consuming. With a free afternoon and a little elbow grease, here are some simple steps you can take to make sure your winter will be warmer.

Replace your furnace filter. It's always a good idea to have a furnace checkup and change your filter before you flip the switch each fall. Filters generally need to be changed every 1-3 months, depending on the type of furnace you have. Once you know the proper filter size, don’t hesitate to buy extra, so you’ll have them on hand the next time. It's also a great time to change the batteries in your smoke detector and test your carbon monoxide…
