No Such Thing as a “safe” community in Calgary any more !
Gone are the days of leaving your house unlocked, or your car running while you grab something you forgot in your home. Unfortunately Calgary and the surrounding areas are noticing that no community is a safe community any more. The crime rates are increasing every year for Calgary and the surrounding rural areas. According to Calgary Crime Stoppers there was a total of 139 B&E’s recorded in March 2020 for residential, and 458 B&E’s for shops… During this COVID-19 pandemic we are noticing that there are more break and enters then ever before! People are worried, and hungry with many who have lost their jobs and livelihood.

So what can you do?

Always keep your doors and windows locked whenever you’re not at home
Remove your hide away keys, or place them in a very unusual spot
Never keep your car running with the doors unlocked (462 vehicle thefts were reported in March)
Keep your garage door opener on you at all times when you are away from home – never leave it in the car
Don’t answer the door to someone you don’t know unless you see their company logo and they can show you ID
If you’re going away, consider having a friend or neighbour check in or hire someone to make your house appear “lived in”
Watch out for any suspicious activity, and report it to your community police officer
GET A SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
VIDEO DOOR CAMERAS ARE A MUST IN TODAY'S WORLD!

Statistics have shown that homes without a security system are more likely to be broken into by 300%. Intruders will usually try to determine if a home is protected or not, and around 60% said that they would look for another home if they realize that their first target has an active alarm system. Installing cameras can add even more protection, as it is said that they can deter burglars up to an extra 40%. If they still decide that your home is a good target, camera footage can assist greatly in apprehension of the intruder.

DON’T WAIT TO SEE IF YOU’RE THE NEXT TARGET, CALL TODAY AND GET PROTECTION!

5 Tips for Keeping Your Home Cool and Comfortable this Summer

Author: Sarah Reckard
Published: July 23, 2019
As temperatures are rising outside, here are some tips homeowners can use to stay cool and make their home comfortable.

1. Get Smart About Thermostats

With a Honeywell® Home smart thermostat, homeowners won’t have to worry about being overheated or too chilly. The home will have a temperature that’s “just right.”

As people move throughout their day, the thermostat will help keep the house at an ideal temperature to maximize energy savings when they are away from home and cool the house when they are at home.

2. Create Ideal Environments

According to recent product research from Resideo, 60% of homes have a room that’s uncomfortable – like a bedroom over the garage – and that is difficult to balance. As such, you may want individual rooms to be a certain temperature depending on the time of day.

Creating such a system is a snap if you have a smart thermostat with smart-room sensors, like the Honeywell Home™ T9 or T10 Pro Smart Thermostats. You can prioritize the temperature in the rooms you spend the most time in. For example, if the kids have friends over and are playing video games downstairs, you can keep them comfortable and deliver the right temperature to the right room at the right time. Likewise, at night – you can select the ideal temperature for sleeping so the entire family can sleep at the optimal temperature.

3. Pay Attention to Humidity

When temperatures reach above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, indoor humidity should not exceed 50%. Higher than that and you may start to see mold appear throughout your house. The best solution is a professionally installed whole-home dehumidification system, which helps you monitor and manage your home’s moisture levels. Our DR120 Dehumidifier can remove up to 120 pints of moisture per day – that’s 15 gallons of humidity taken out of your home a day.

4. Get Your Ductwork in a Row

Improving indoor air quality (IAQ) doesn’t need to be complicated. One of the simplest, yet most effective ways to remove airborne odors and VOCs is cleaning the air that travels through the home’s ducts. A UV treatment system or air purifier is just the ticket. UV treatment can eliminate live airborne particles and surface mold that may otherwise go undetected and grow in duct systems and cooling coils.

5. Go Light on Light

An open window makes a room hot in a hurry, so keep the curtains or blinds drawn during the hottest part of the day. You can block out up to 80% of solar heat with cellular shades, according to the US Department of Energy. For more smart-home tips, check out our other solutions for the summer. To ensure your home has the latest solutions to beat the heat, contact a professional.

Your garage is a very important part of your home; hold your vehicles, boats, ATV’s, Dirt Bikes, Tools, it can be your man cave, your workplace, or your storage. With all of these valuable items in your garage, why is it so commonly overlooked when considering security?

It cost too much money: In the last few years, a lot of security products have come down in price. The cost to install contacts, motions, etc. is much cheaper now than ever before. If you got a quote to protect your garage a few years ago, give us a call again as you may be surprised at the cost.

Garage is too far away: DSC has their best range wireless devices – DSC NEO. This allows communication up to 2 miles away! If you have failed to have your needs met by a security company before, give us a call and we would be happy to keep everything protected for you.

It doesn’t affect my Insurance: Most insurance companies will give you a discount simply by having a security system installed in your home. Lately we have noticed an increased number of insurance companies requesting monitored Smoke and Heat detectors inside an attached garage to keep their insurance contracts valid. It is always best to call your insurance company to make sure that you have the coverage that you need.

I enter through my garage: Most people have their keypads at the front door, so if they come through the garage it can take longer than the 30-60 seconds to reach the keypad and disarm the system. If this was your hold back, don’t worry! Most providers now offer a cell phone app so you can turn off your system when you’re close to home, or a key fob can be used to disarm the system before you pull up to the garage. A few providers now offer Geofencing, so your security system will know when your in the area and can disarm automatically.

I park my car outside: The security world is growing and expanding every day. If you park your car outside your garage and are worried about having your home protected, but your car and/or garage unarmed, that’s okay! We can cover your garage and driveway with motion and camera options. Most systems even come with a partition, this can allow you to control different “sections” of your security system; this way you can arm both your home and garage, or select the one you’d like to arm/disarm.

If you have any questions or concerns, give us a call so we can help keep ALL of your valuables protected.
