Going on vacation? Give your security system a quick checkup
Before you leave for your well-earned vacation, we recommend conducting a quick check of your home security system. Returning to a burglarized home is a nightmare no one wants to experience, and a professional security system is your best defense.
Peak vacation season is a busy time for service calls at Delco Alarm Systems. Scheduling a maintenance checkup now ensures that issues like low batteries or loose door sensors—which can cause false alarms or leave you unprotected—are resolved before you depart. A service visit is also an excellent opportunity to ask our specialists about new technology that could further benefit your home.
While you can test your smoke detectors and burglar alarms yourself, doing so carries the risk of accidentally dispatching local police or fire departments. For a simpler and more reliable approach, contact us to perform a professional system test.
In addition to your security system, please remember these essential tips before you leave:
– Ensure all outdoor lights are working.
– Arrange for lawn care and mail pickup.
– Set smart home devices to make the house appear occupied.
– Turn off the main water valve and check your sump pump.
– Lock all doors and windows, including garages and sheds.
– Avoid posting about your vacation on social media until you return.
