Heat is the leading weather-killer in the U.S. — but most of what protects a Monmouth family during a heat wave isn't gear, it's a plan.

Three layers we walk through in this episode:

• The house — find your cool room and pre-cool on hot mornings.
• The people — build your call list before the heat starts.
• The block — the four closest neighbors who might need a check-in.

A practical shore-ready checklist for verifying a New Jersey home improvement contractor’s registration before you pay a deposit.

Key rule: Home improvement contractor registrations are issued to the business, not the individual. Use Business Search on the state portal — not Person Search.

• Official verification portal: newjersey.mylicense.com/verification
• NJ Consumer Affairs HIC page: njconsumeraffairs.gov/hic
• NJ AG Licenses & Permits hub: njoag.gov/resources/licenses-permits

5-minute checklist: (1) Ask for the exact business name and registration number. (2) Open the NJ portal — use Business Search. (3) Search multiple ways. (4) Match name, address, and status. (5) Treat “don’t worry, we’re registered” as a signal to verify harder.
