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.

We’ve read with interest an article on the Electrical Safety Council’s website which highlights the dangers of hiring unqualified, unregistered electricians.

The Electrical Safety Council, a charity which works to promote electrical safety and good practice, has found that around a quarter of people who have hired an electrician have done so without checking that they are suitably qualified.  Electrical accidents and faults are responsible for over half of the house fires in the UK and the Electrical Safety Council is keen to stress the importance of hiring electricians who have the appropriate qualifications.

At Dalec we are registered members of the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA) – the UK’s leading trade association for electricians and electrical contractors; offering our clients and customers the reassurance that we are fully qualified to install, inspect, test, design and maintain electrical services.

However, the Electrical Safety Council estimates that there are approximately 20,000 non-registered electricians working in the UK which is a very worrying figure.  The charity is concerned that a combination of casual attitudes to hiring non-registered electricians, and unawareness of how to check whether an electrician is registered, are contributing to electrical accidents in homes.

The study carried out by the Electrical Safety Council has found that one third of people hired an electrician recommended by a friend, without checking the electrician’s credentials.  The study also showed that a quarter of those who took part would hire an un-registered electrician if they wanted work carried out quickly or at short notice.

This issue is of huge concern and what makes it even more worrying is that the problem appears to be on the rise.  The Electrical Safety Council say that one third of registered electricians have seen an increase in substandard or dangerous electrical work carried out by unregistered electricians; and this is certainly something that we’re seeing more and more often.

The Electrical Safety Council’s Director General, made the following comment: “It is worrying that many people are simply unaware of the need to ensure the person carrying out electrical work in their home is competent.  Choosing an electrician registered with a government approved scheme guarantees they have the skills to carry out the work and ensures procedures are in place should something go wrong.  Electrical safety is not something anyone should take a gamble on – this is why we are providing information online, to support people in identifying registered electricians in their area.  You wouldn’t get an unregistered tradesperson to fix your boiler so why do it for your electrics?”

We couldn’t agree more!  If you would like further advice or to arrange for a free quote at a time to suit you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

If you run your own business, you’ll understand how important adequate security can be to protect your staff, customers and property.

At Dalec we are specialists in the installation of a wide range of CCTV systems, varying in complexity from simple systems, through to tailor-made systems designed to offer complete protection.

CCTV is known to be one of the very best ways to protect a business against theft or vandalism and thanks to significant improvements in technology over recent years, CCTV systems can now offer mobile visual access to your property, offering you 24/7 reassurance that your business is protected.

There have also been massive improvements in the technology behind security cameras and monitors, with products capable of taking up to 1650 images using a smart card.  Images can then be downloaded from a smart card (through a smart card reader) straight onto a PC.  This type of system really is incredibly easy to use and is simple to move to other locations which may not be covered by a hard wire system.

From experience we know that our business customers really appreciate efficient security systems that are easy to use and will actually prevent costly losses or damage.  Whether you would like further information on protecting your business or for a free quote, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
