• Set your alarm and make sure it is set before you leave your home.
• Make sure all of your gates are locked and closed properly so no unwanted visitors can easily access your home.

When it is summer time we use our air conditioner a lot more frequently than in the spring and the fall. Depending on where you live of course will help determine when you need it. Places that are hotter will use air conditioning more frequently than other places. This goes the same for in the winter time and with heaters.

If you have a programmable thermostat you can program it to stay at certain temperatures or if the temperature inside drops/raises to a certain degree that it will automatically do its job. This prevents it from being on all the time and not wasting electricity when you are not home. Any schedule you desire can be set on a programmable thermostat. It can be programmed to start before you wake up, to shut off when you head to work, and they are pretty accurate on the actual temperature of your home. This prevents using it more than needed.

Replacing your old manual thermostat with newer technology, even energy saving technology by using a programmable electronic thermostat will pay off quickly. Older manual thermostats are on old wiring and are hard to repair. Most newer programmable thermostats are battery operated and properly notify you prior to a battery getting low so you have time to replace it. They are highly recommended by home improvement professionals and having one will ease your mind since you will be saving money by properly programming your thermostat.

70% of burglaries have been by forcible entry. 62% of home break-ins occur between 9am and 4pm. That means for a majority of people that their house is broken into while they were at work. About 1 in 5 homes are burglarized and 19% of those burglaries turn violent. Home invasions are scary and are not worth the risk of getting hurt. 34% of burglars enter through your front door, as 25% use the back door, and for those who do not lock their home 12% of burglars go through an unlocked door.

There is no reason that you shouldn’t prepare and practice home security methods. The best way to protect your home and loved ones is to install a home security system.  You do not want to become a statistic in regards of home break-ins. Practice locking up your house on a regular basis, even when you are home. If you do have a security system in place make sure you keep it on. Burglars spend an estimated 10 seconds to break into your home. That can happen at any time, so prepare and protect your family so that doesn’t happen to you.

Social networking has become a part of our everyday lives. If you are going on a trip it is important not to broadcast it on the internet. Stay away from creating status updates, or “tagging” your self in pictures when you are away, and even ”checking in” to places you are going. Anyone can see those things. There are numerous stories of criminals telling authorities that they found out no one was home by the internet. Don’t let this be you.

Hide a spare key or give it to a trusted family member or neighbor. Try not to put it in a obvious place if you do decided to leave it around your home. Do this when you are sure you are not being watched. There is no purpose of hiding a key if someone sees you.

Timers are available to keep your lights on and to turn them off when you are gone. It can even turn your television on for a period of time. Lights are a huge deterrent to criminals. They do not want to be seen.

Double check your locks and windows before you leave. If either of these things get left open it creates the opportunity for them to get into your home.If they are determined to get in, they will do what ever it takes. Contact us to help find the best security system for your home. You want to travel with ease. Leave the stress behind!

Some forms of crime are out and others are in. Since bank and convenient store robbery are much more difficult to pull off these days, burglars are now looking for easier places to break into: Your home. As a result, home invasion robbery is on the rise. Burglars see homes as easy opportunity break ins–unlocked windows and doors, residences without home security systems, homeowners being gone during the day. Home security systems with cutting edge technology have been developed and are increasing in popularity because of this, but many homeowners have still been reluctant to research and invest in alarm systems and other home security features.

Home invasion statistics were hard to come by 10 years ago as home invaders were and still are often charged with crimes of other titles like robbery, assault, homicide and so on, but never under the title home invasion. As law enforment has taken more notice, they’ve reported that home invasion robbery has been on the rise since 1995 with no signs of pulling back.

And that is why homeowners need to be educated about proper home security tactics and about the realities of home invasion robbery as new startling statistics are now available.

Here are just a few statistics regarding your home security and home invasions.

• Physical injury is a common occurrence in home invasions. About 47% of homeowners who experience home invasion robbery are injured during the crime.
• Older individuals make up a large number of home invasion victims. Nearly 17% of home invasion victims are aged 60 or older.
• A startling 21% of home invasion victims were casual acquaintances with the people who invaded their homes.
• Nearly half of all home invasion criminals used weapons while committing their crimes.

There are also many statistics proving the effectiveness of having home security systems in place, including the fact that homes with alarm systems are 3 times less likely to be burglarized.

When consulting with your local home security companies you can figure out which home security features are the best for you home and you can compare prices. Your families safety depends on it.

Burglars see homes as easy targets. According to FBI statistics, almost two thirds of all burglary offenses are targeted at residential structures. As banks and convenient stores begin to use smarter technologies and stricter safety strategies homes become even more of a target for home invaders.
