The market for home security is huge. Burglaries occur everyday, regardless of where you live. Burglars will usually choose homes that seem relaxed with their security. If you want to avoid becoming a victim, the following tips will help you amp up your home security.
Put your spare key on your dog. This will come in handy if your dog is outdoors most of the time or if it can go outside through a pet door. Keep a spare key around the dog’s collar.
Provide the house key to your professional house cleaner, but only if you fully trust them. Be sure to check out the background of any housekeeper you plan to provide with a key to your home. Check references thoroughly. If your cleaning person comes from a company, check with the BBB.
Don’t give your keys to a house cleaner unless you totally trust them. Be sure any home cleaner you give your key to is trustworthy and reputable. Carefully check their references. If they work through a larger firm, you can check up on the company with your local Better Business Bureau.
Comparison shop when you are ready to buy a home security system. Prices vary greatly in regards to the same protection for each company. Get quotes from several companies before making a decision.
When you’re picking out home security equipment and services, don’t forget to ask your friends and family for help. Your loved ones likely have dealt with this situation before. Making a great choice is important, so this advice will come in handy.
Buy fire resistant flooring, roofing and ceiling. This can provide additional safety to the home, particularly in dry regions. Fire prevention is always a good idea, and sometimes it can be a lifesaving idea!
Check out your garage to ensure that it is secure. There is a solution for people that are worried about burglars going into their home through an attached garage. If your garage door happens to lift on a track, using a C-clamp can help. the C-clamp prevents the door from opening if it’s tightened on the track close to the roller.
When summer comes around, eliminate all vegetation and dead wood from your yard. When summer heats up, such debris can catch fire. Keeping your plants and bushes trimmed will benefit your family’s safety as well as the appearance of your home.
Contact the local police department to find out more about the protection programs they offer. Home inspections or engraving identifiers can help protect you. Call and see what is available.
If you have a garage, increase your home security by using it to house your car, rather than just for storage. Keeping the car in the garage can keep thieves from vandalizing or stealing it. This can also keep people from knowing your schedule.
Trust your instincts when it comes to hiring a home security company. This is especially important when it comes to the company employees who will be installing your system. Ask the company to send a different installer or simply change companies. After all, you’re investing in a system that helps you to feel safe, so make sure the process involved in obtaining that system does the same.
Install motion-sensor lights. These lights will come on if someone walks near your house. Not only will you know that someone is out there, it will also deter burglars because they want to be inconspicuous. Just do not forget to replace the bulbs periodically to keep them functioning at all times.
Don’t think you’re not at risk just because you don’t live in a big city. There are some who believe country folk are more at risk because neighbors are not nearby. Other people believe rural areas are less likely to be targeted by burglars.
If you have purchased any large and/or expensive items, do not throw the boxes away until the day before the trash man is scheduled to come. If you leave the boxes out all week, it lets people know what type of items you have in your home.
Spare Key
Don’t ever place your spare key under your mat or next you a plant box. Keeping a spare key is convenient but intruders will have access to your home if your key is too easy to find. Potential burglars know the usual hiding places. Ask a friend, neighbor or relative to keep your extra keys for you.
Always keep your home’s exterior well lit. Criminals love darkness to help mask their crimes. Light up the dark spots around your home. This includes porches and doorways, the garage, as well as ground floor windows, which can invite an intruder.
When selecting a home alarm system, choose one that protects many areas of your home, not just the doors. Windows are a way for thieves to enter your home as well. Make sure you have a monitored alarm on every one of them. This will help to keep your family safe.
The wiring on your house is valuable to burglars. Many folks are not aware of this until a thief steals it. Copper wiring is very valuable and susceptible to being stripped from the outside of your home. Be sure to keep your wiring hidden or difficult to reach.
Make sure the inside of your garage isn’t visible. Use frosted, adhesive backed plastic to cover the windows. You can purchase this at a home improvement store. If you use your garage for working on projects, don’t forget to lock it when you’re through working for the day.
Keeping your family safe should be your top priority. Anyone can be a victim of a crime. What you’ve read here will help you to prepare. Don’t waste another minute. Don’t wait until you have a burglary to install a home security system.
