If your Christmas preparations are well underway, your home is probably full of all the gifts you’ve bought for family and friends.  Unfortunately at this time of year burglars also assume that this is the case and it’s not unusual for there to be a spike in the number of break-ins which occur in the run up to Christmas.

A home security system can really help and it is widely accepted that homes which are protected by an alarm are less likely to be burgled than those that aren’t.  However, whilst it is true that a home security system can be unwanted additional cost at this time of year, remember that a burglar alarm will provide you with year-round protection, keeping your home safe when you’re out at work or on holiday.

Here at Dalec we have the expertise to install home security systems to suit all properties and budgets and whether you live in a large detached house or third-floor flat, we can fit a system that suits your pocket and your lifestyle.

Home security systems aside, we also wanted to remind you of the importance of keeping your windows shut and your doors locked when you’re out.  Crime statistics show that around 30% of burglars enter properties through open or unsecured windows so don’t be tempted to feed extensions cables from your outside Christmas lights through a partially open window.

Our services are available to residential and business customers in Leeds and if you would like advice on any aspect of security, please get in touch.
