Decorating Cautions:

Holiday decorations bring joy and warmth to any home, but improper use of lights and decorations can quickly turn festive cheer into an avoidable hazard. One common mistake is using indoor-rated lights outside, or vice versa. Indoor lights lack the durability to withstand outdoor weather, while outdoor lights used indoors may pose an electrical risk due to their higher wattage. Always check the label before stringing lights and ensure that they meet the safety requirements for their intended location. By taking a few extra moments to verify this, you protect your home and loved ones while enjoying the holiday glow.

Another key safety tip is to secure all outdoor decorations properly. Wind and weather can loosen or displace items, potentially causing injuries or property damage. Use sturdy clips or ties designed for outdoor use and keep electrical cords organized to reduce tripping hazards. Simple measures like cable covers and keeping cords away from walkways can make a big difference.

Home Security:

The holiday season is the perfect time to travel and enjoy quality moments with loved ones, but leaving your home unattended can make it vulnerable to theft. Enhance your home security by installing secondary locks on doors and windows, like deadbolts or window pins, for added protection. Use timers for lights when you’re away to create the appearance of activity, and ask a trusted neighbor to collect mail or keep an eye on your property. Avoid displaying holiday gifts in plain view of windows to deter prying eyes. These small steps can make a big difference in keeping your home safe.

Prevent Package Theft:

The holiday season brings joy, but it also sees a rise in package thefts. Protect your deliveries by using smart locks or parcel lockers that keep packages secure until you retrieve them. Another effective option is to have packages delivered to a secure location, such as your workplace or a designated pickup hub. These small adjustments can save you the frustration of stolen gifts and keep your holidays stress-free.

Installing security cameras near your doorstep is another powerful deterrent against “porch pirates.” Cameras not only help you monitor activity but also provide evidence in the unfortunate event of theft. Motion-activated lighting can further enhance security by illuminating entryways when someone approaches. At True Property Management, we specialize in helping homeowners protect their properties.
