How to protect your home during the holidays

 

The most joyful time of year has arrived and you want to enjoy it with your loved ones. Some, however, take advantage of your absence from your home or business premises, so the incidents of thefts and burglaries are increasing during the holiday season. Apart from the robbery, however, the damage that may be caused by some damage or leakage in your space is missing.

So what can we do to protect our property? Below are some examples of what we can take to prevent possible breakage or wear.

  1. Discourage robbers from choosing your home or business

It’ s known that most burglars choose places where there is not much difficulty in accessing. In their majority, they avoid houses and shops with security systems such as cameras, alarms, etc. to avoid the possibility of conceiving.

  1. Do not declare your absence

Before a burglary, the aspiring robbers have been watching for a long time your moves and schedule to know what hours you are missing. A lit light, a TV that plays, can give the impression that your home is not completely empty. An automation system would be ideal for such use, since you can remotely handle your home appliances without realizing that you are missing!

  1. Secure access points

Install door locks or sensors in windows, balcony doors and garage doors. A well-locked door requires time and equipment to be tampered with, so it is usually avoided.
 

  1. Prevent a fire or a water leak

It’ s very common in homes and shops to suffer incalculable damage from a short circuit or leakage. Christmas decorations, fireplaces or stoves are the most common causes of fire. By installing smoke detectors or water leakage, you instantly alert you to anything that happens to prevent an imminent disaster, even if you are away.
