It will be December in less than one week. That means we’ve almost made it through another year and the holiday season has arrived. While December can be a fun and exciting time for many families, it’s also an important time to make sure your home is ready for this hectic time of year. It’s getting darker sooner and many people are either travelling to friends or families places, or having guests come visit their Des Moines area home. Check out our 4 tips to help keep you, your home, and your possessions safe this December.
Check Your Smoke And Carbon Monoxide Detectors
December is an important time to check both your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. Make sure you are using up-to-date detectors and that the batteries in them are working properly. One of the reasons the winter is the best time to check on these is because you are starting to keep your home tightly shut again. With the cold temperatures, most people like to make sure their doors are always closed and windows are latched. While that’s great for keeping your home nice and warm, it is also easier to trap in things like carbon monoxide because there’s not as much ventilation. We can help you find the right detectors for your needs.
Install A Home Burglary System
Chances are you plan on doing some exciting things this month like going to your work holiday party or ringing in the New Year at a friends place. These events can be fun, but going to them means you’re leaving your home in potential danger. Strauss Security Solutions is an industry leader in alarm services and residential security. We can set up your home with custom designed monitored alarm systems as well as silent alarms so the trespasser won’t even know the proper authorities have been called.
