• Make sure your heating system is checked annually by a professional. Also have your flue checked for any buildup and cleaned to lessen the risk of fire.  
• To conserve energy, make sure your home is properly insulated – particularly walls and attics. 
• To keep warm air in, caulk and weather strip doors and windowsills. 
• Install storm windows or cover windows with plastic from the inside to provide an additional layer of weather protection. 
• To avoid pipes from freezing, wrap them in insulation or layers of old newspapers; then cover with plastic to keep moisture out.

“The relocatioin gives us some much needed room to expand which, in turn, will provide for an overall improvement to the service we provide to our customers,” noted Neil Schwan, President of First Savings Insurance.  “We simply had outgrown our previous Perkasie facility which we had occupied since 1977 and relocating to the First Savings’ Administration Office location is a perfect fit.” 

The local phone number, to reach First Savings Ins. is 215-257-5035 and the website address will remain, www.FirstSavingsOnline.com.

• Directly employ nearly 500,000 people contributing $34 billion of payroll.
• In 2007, paid over $250 billion dollars in insurance claims.
• Contribute over $15 billion in state premium taxes alone, in addition to the billions more paid in property, payroll, income, etc.

Consider what it would be like if there was no insurance. Not only would hundreds of billions of dollars never enter our economy, but commerce would grind to a halt. Banks would not be interested in loaning money for new homes, autos, or construction projects.

In absence of insurance, many people would lose their jobs, and even if they stayed employed they would have no health or life insurance, and heaven forbid an employee would get hurt on the job. We would all drive at our own risk and air travel would be out of the question.

The most common mistakes are:

Being distracted behind the wheel: Distracted driving contributes to 80 percent of collisions – cell phones, CDs, food and even text messages can pose serious distractions to drivers.

Taking too many risks: Actions like ignoring traffic signals or school zones signs and changing lanes without checking blind spots are all considered “risky behavior.”

Speeding: On average, teens drive faster than all other drivers as a whole.

Overcrowding the car: Teens frequently overcrowd their cars.

Driving under the influence: Because teens are too young to drink legally, they’re also less likely to call their parents to come get them when they shouldn’t drive.

Following too closely: Maintaining a proper following distance is a critical step in preventing accidents.

Driving unbuckled: Many young drivers have a sense of invincibility that also factors into speeding. Fortunately, many cars today have seat belt reminders.

Not being able to handle emergencies: Knowing how to avoid an accident comes with driving experience.

Driving Drowsy: Drowsy driving affects an unlikely group: the so-called “good kids.” Overachievers have a lot of pressure – straight ‘A’ students or those with a full plate of extracurricular activities.

Choosing the wrong car and not maintaining it: Too often, a combination of tight budgets and high style leads teens to pass up important safety features for larger engines and flashy accessories.
