Introducing Evertree Mountain States
The holiday season is one of wonder and excitement, but it is also a time to be extra cautious about the various safety issues that are relevant at that time of year. Here are tips for keeping your home safe during the holidays, courtesy of Evertree Mountain States serving Arvada, CO.
Lighting and electrical issues
Thoroughly inspect holiday lights before stringing them up on your Christmas tree and on the exterior of your house. Do not overload electrical outlets by plugging in too many items. Turn off holiday decorative lights and other seasonal electrical items before you go to bed and when you leave the house.
Fireplace safety
Whether you use a gas or wood-burning fireplace, it is important to keep safety top of mind. Always be nearby to monitor the fireplace while it is in use. Make sure sparks or other flammable items stay in the fireplace. Keep children and pets away from fireplaces and candles.
Home security
No discussion about safety would be complete without talking about the prevention of theft during the holidays. Do not leave packages containing gifts sitting on your porch or anywhere outside your house. Make sure all doors to your house are locked at all times, and if you go out of town for the holidays, take the proper precautions to protect your home. Consider having a security system or security cameras installed.
There are many other ways you can keep your home safe and sound during the holiday season. If you need further guidance and want to make sure you have appropriate home insurance, feel free to contact Evertree Mountain States serving Arvada, CO.
