A home security company perspective on …
From our experience most home break-ins are from individuals that live very close to the home. This would be someone that knows your schedule or actually sees the car leave the home or drive down a street on the way out of the area.
The second most common is an acquaintance of some type that you were unfortunate enough to make. This might be a helper of a service technician that you recently had in your home or a friend of a friend etc… Remember, Guardian’s technicians are employees and have no criminal history of any kind. As well, our technicians have on average 8 years of experience.
Other common home break-in times are when you are moving into a new home, when there is a lot of construction in the area or when you are gone for longer periods of time. And, in general, anytime there are more people in and around your home then you are much more likely to have a burglary.
The best defense against break-ins in our opinion is to have a reputable home security company install a monitored alarm system into the residence and use it regularly. Guardian is one of the largest and oldest home security companies in the area. Now days, most home security companies are simply a dealer for another security company. They are more like a sales shop that sells you and sets you up and then trades you off to someone else. The problem with this is that they don’t have appropriate focus on initial set-up and do not handle your ongoing service. This can lead to poor installation and an overall bad experience. Guardian on the other hand is your servicing home security company and therefore has great interest in ensuring a proper set-up and continued ongoing service. Our average customer stays on with us for 9 years.
One more thing, with all burglaries considered, the most common time frame is during normal hours when someone has just left the home for a short time (an hour or two). So, be sure to set your security system anytime the home is left unattened.
As one of the leading home security companies, we look forward to being of service to you and your family.
