You’ve just boarded your flight to Europe for two weeks of vacation, and as you take your seat, you begin to relax and think about all the fantastic things you’re going to do while you’re away. But then a sinking feeling hits you – what if someone breaks into my house while I’m gone? Don’t worry; Archangel Alarm Services, LLC has got you covered.
We will share several ways to protect your home while you’re away. Read on to learn more!
Install a Security System
A security system is a highly effective method to secure your property while you’re away. A security system can alert you if someone attempts to enter your home and notify the police if necessary. There are several types of security systems available; you’ll have to do some research before making a selection.
Secure Your Doors and Windows
Another way to protect your home while you’re away is to secure your doors and windows. Make sure that all of your doors and windows have sturdy locks! Additionally, make sure that any valuables or expensive items are not visible from the outside of your house. It will help keep your valuables safe and prevent anyone from breaking in.
Motion-Sensor Lighting
A third way to protect your home while you’re away is by using lighting. Lighting can help deter people from entering your property, as they will be easily seen if they enter through a window or door. You can also use lighting to illuminate dark areas around the house, potentially providing cover for intruders. Installing motion-activated lighting on the outside of your property will ensure that any movement outside activates them immediately.
Fire Alarms
Another way to protect your home while you’re away is by installing fire alarms. If a fire starts in your house when you’re not there, the alarm will go off and alert firefighters of the emergency. Firefighters can then put out the fire before it causes too much damage.
Dodge the Burglars
Other subtle ways can help keep the burglars away:
- Keep your lawn mowed and bushes trimmed to prevent hiding places for intruders.
- Ladders and tools should not be left lying around since intruders may use them to get into upper-story windows or skylights.
- Consider putting timers on lamps inside the house that come on each night during your absence. It makes it appear like someone is still living there while you’re gone!
It is not only burglars who can harm your property, but the electronic appliances in your home can also be just as dangerous. When not in use, unplug all appliances and, if you have a swimming pool, secure the cover too.
