ARK and MAX Insurance Contribute to Fire Relief Foundation

Families who have lost their homes and items in a house fire find hope and support from the Fire Relief Foundation in Findlay, OH.  Thanks to a $2,500 grant from ARK Insurance and their partner MutualAid eXchange (“MAX”), the organization can now assist more people in their time of need.

Kathy Coppes heads ARK Insurance.  She reached out to MAX and its Mutual Aid Ministries Community Grant Program to help support the Fire Relief Foundation.  “This great organization stands beside families after their loss and offers household items, monetary assistance, and a shoulder to lean on until the families can get back on their feet,” Coppes said in her application for the grant.  “They function solely through the help of volunteers, many of whom have been fire victims themselves. The organization began in the founder’s garage after losing their own home and contents in a house fire.  Now they not only help our local community, they also send items to other states if there is a crisis that needs their help.”

MAX is a fair, faithful and socially responsible home, auto and property/casualty insurance company that was founded on religious principles.  Today it serves people of all faith backgrounds.  It created the Mutual Aid Ministries Community Grant program as a way to partner with their network of independent agents who identify and want to support worthy projects in their communities.

Appliance Breakdown: Air Conditioning Units

Air conditioning units are complex systems that can break down for a variety of reasons ranging from corrosion on the interior unit to overheating the compressor in the outdoor unit. All of this can be prevented with simple, regular home maintenance.

How can you avoid a breakdown or corrosion?
Preventing corrosion on the interior air conditioning unit is as simple as storing paints and any other materials with acidic qualities in another location, away from the unit. The air conditioner relies on a clean air supply surrounding the unit. When acidic particles combine with moisture on the systems metal coils, they can cause the unit to corrode. In addition, regularly replacing the filters and vacuuming the wall registers improves the indoor air flow, especially in environments that are excessively dusty or have pet dander.

The most effective home maintenance tip for your outdoor unit is to ensure the surrounding area is clear of debris. This will allow proper ventilation to maximize efficiency.

What happens if your air conditioning unit has a breakdown? At MAX, homeowners and farmowners policies have Equipment Breakdown coverage available.  Talk to your MAX agent or contact us for more information to add this valuable coverage to your policy.
