Home Safety Tips

We live in a world where there are many potential threats to the safety of your home and family.  There are, however, steps that you can take as a homeowner to ensure that you are doing all you can to maintain the security and comfort of your home.  First and foremost, we recommend installation of an ADT home alarm system, which can provide peace of mind and ensure that your loved ones are never alone or without help in emergency situations.  ADT home alarms systems also give you the ability to leave your home for short or extended periods of time and know that your possessions are under around-the-clock surveillance to avoid any harm while you are away. 

Consider the following statistics:

• The FBI reports a burglary occurs every 14 seconds.
• A home without a security system is 2 to 3 times more likely to be burglarized.  A business is 4 to 5 times more likely.
• 85% of police officials surveyed believe home alarms systems help deter burglary attempts
• The average dollar loss per burglary offense in $2006 was $1,834.
• Losses due to burglary average $400 less in residences with home alarms systems.
• The NFPA reports that in 2006, 80% of all civilian fire deaths resulted from home structure fires.
• From 2000 to 2004, 65% of reported home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
• A fatal injury occurs in the home every 14 minutes and a disabling injury every 4 seconds.
• There are approximately 2,100 unintentional deaths from carbon monoxide (CO) every year in the U.S. and the use of CO alarms could potentially prevent many of these fatalities. 
• 94% of alarm owners are satisfied with their alarm systems
