Last week’s blog post covered the importance of ensuring businesses have adequate protection in the run up to the festive season. The run up to the festive season is also, unfortunately, a time when the number of residential burglaries tend to rise as thieves take advantage of the fact that most of us tend to shop for electrical goods and other expensive items at this time of year. With this in mind, it’s important to be vigilant and ensure your home has an adequate security system in place.

Home security systems designed and installed by Dalec

The best way to deter intruders and protect your home from theft is with a reliable burglar alarm. If yours is old and unreliable, or you don’t have one at all, now is the time to arrange to have one fitted. Unfortunately we often install alarms for homeowners who have just been burgled and as with so many things in life, prevention really is better than cure. Rather than waiting until the worst happens, installing a burglar alarm now is far less stressful solution and it’s worth remember that the sight of an alarm bell box is usually sufficient to deter the majority of thieves.

Installing a security alarm is a quick and simple process. Today’s wireless alarms require very little drilling, with no unsightly wires trailing around the house. Our team install security alarms throughout Leeds and have the expertise to provide you with a system which matches your budget and requirements.

CCTV can be used in a range of ways; including staff monitoring and as a way to help prevent internal theft.

With just four weeks to go until Christmas, you’re probably starting to get your preparations well under way!

When you’ve finished your Christmas shopping – if you’re anything like us you’ll probably leave it until the last minute! – and the house is full of presents for family and friends, you may want the added reassurance and protection of a reliable burglar alarm system.

A home security alarm system really is the best way to ensure that your home is adequately protected – not only during the festive season but throughout the year.  Burglary rates always tend to increase at this time of year with criminals taking advantage of homes stocked up with the latest tablet computers, gadgets, jewellery and accessories.

Deterrent is one of the most effective forms of crime prevention and many intruders are put off simply by the site of a burglar alarm.  At Dalec we install a wide range of burglar alarm systems – from basic wired alarms, through to high-tec comprehensive wireless intruder and fire protection systems.

Government crime statistics show that 30% of burglars enter properties through unsecured windows so don’t be tempted to feed extension cables from outside Christmas lights into partially open windows.  Security lights that are triggered by a sensor also provide an effective deterrent against intruders and our team can install various types of security lighting, with systems designed to protect homes of all sizes.

 

There’s no denying that Christmas lights look very pretty and at this time of year most of us will be digging out illuminations from lofts and dusty storage spaces, ready to decorate our homes for the festive season.

However old electrical decorations and lights that have been poorly stored, and lights that are plugged into overloaded sockets, can present potential electrical hazards that can be easily avoided.

My top tip is to replace any lights or electrical decorations that are old, have been exposed to damp when not designed to be or that don’t meet the latest rigorous standards.  This is the safest and the most sensible solution as good quality Christmas lights and decorations can be bought at great value prices from reputable suppliers.

Christmas lights are designed to operate at extra-low voltage (usually around 12-24 volts) or at mains voltage (230 volts).  Extra-low voltage lights are definitely the safest option as they will significantly reduce the risk of an electric shock, even if the lights are faulty or if one of the lamps has broken.  Look on the product packaging to find out the rated voltage of the lights – this info should be clearly marked.

Some simple safety precautions to take when using Christmas lights and electrical decorations:

  • Never use lights outside unless they’re designed for outside use – this will be clearly marked on the packaging
  • Always follow the instructions and never connect the lights to a mains supply whilst they’re still in the packaging
  • Don’t try and repair faulty lights – it’s always best to replace them
  • Turn lights off at night and if you go out
  • Keep lights away from flammable decorations and other flammable materials
  • Never overload sockets and try to avoid using extension lead and plug adaptors

So enjoy your Christmas lights and stay safe during the festive season!  For further advice on rewiring and all aspects of electrical work, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
