In order to keep your home safe while you’re out of town, there are a number of preventative measures you can take that will put your mind at ease.

One of the main ways you can feel better about leaving home is to ask a relative, neighbor or friend if they would mind checking on your house while you’re gone. Provide them with a spare key so they can bring your newspapers or mail in, while also watering your plants and even caring for your pets. Having someone check in daily will also ensure that no other issues, such as wiring or burst pipes, occur.

In addition to installing a professional security system, you can also place deadbolts on your doors and windows, making it more difficult for thieves to get into your house. It’s also important that you don’t leave computers on and that all valuables, including documents, are locked up or placed in a safety deposit box at the bank for safe keeping.

It’s also crucial that you don’t announce your plans on social media. Believe it or not, thieves scour Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., trying to figure out who’s home and who isn’t. Not only should you keep it off social media, you should also refrain from relaying your plans on answering machines.

Other tips include:

• Speaking with your police department to let them know you’ll be out of town and would appreciate it if they could provide a presence in your neighborhood.
• Don’t leave your lights on around the clock – that’s a dead giveaway in the middle of the night that no one is home. Buy a timer that will allow you to schedule when the lights come on and go off.
• Have your mail and newspaper stopped until you return. Nothing screams nobody’s home like a lawn littered with still rolled up newspapers and a box full of mail.
• Unplug appliances that aren’t being used while you’re on vacation. This will not only save you money, but protect them from power surges.
• If you’re gone for more than a week have someone mow your yard.
• If you have more than one car, leave one in plain sight in the driveway. This could certainly deter thieves.

Finally, if you generally leave a spare key on top of the door, in a flower pot or under a welcome mat, make sure you take it before you leave on vacation. Trust us, thieves will check all of those places. Call one of our Fleenor Security representatives today, they will be happy to answer all of your security system questions.

Deciding the right home security provider is, in fact, the answer to any questions you might have. Once you have the right provider, they will take care of all your concerns. In order to choose the right one for your needs, there are specific questions for which you’ll need answers.

For instance, how long have they been in business? Experience is crucial and you will want a company that has been in operation for a certain number of years. Longevity generally means you’re dealing with an established and successful business. Other things to consider:

• Research the top equipment lines and check to see what brands the company uses. You will, of course, want reliable equipment if you’re investing in a security system. Also make sure you know the various features (notification system, remote access, etc.) available at the company.
• Is the company licensed and are warranties available? You will want a security company that operates with the laws and regulations in your area. Warranties will also be the norm for respected companies, as they will have no issues backing their systems and services.
• How much does it cost to install a system? Make sure you get costs up front and determine what those costs cover (equipment, installation, monitoring, storage, etc.)
• Where is the company located? These days many companies use their websites to offer online services. However, a local company is preferred because they know your area, can easier maintain your system and you can actually speak to someone in person.
• How often will your system be checked? This is key as regular maintenance is important to ensure that your system is working around the clock.
• Does the company have their own Central Station or do they subcontract a mega center to monitor you alarm system?  Where is the Central Station located?
• Are there any “hidden” charges? Make sure you know if there are any extra charges the figure into the cost.
• If you move, what happens to your system? Some companies will let you take your system with you and allow you to keep the same contract but some won’t. Make sure you know the company’s policy regarding moving.
• Does the system qualify for a home insurance discount? This largely depends on your insurance provider but some systems do qualify.

Don’t be shy about getting answers to these questions before deciding on a security system provider. After all, it’s your money and your home and you deserve to know all the details.
