How to Protect Your Home when Traveling for the Holidays

Whether you simply plan to spend the holidays with family in Phoenix or across the country, it’s important to make sure your home is protected while you are gone. While your home insurance covers such things as theft and fire, you surely don’t want to experience a disaster like these during the holidays. For that reason, here are some simple tips to follow to keep your home safe while you are away enjoying the holidays with friends and family.

1. Hire a House Sitter

When you hire a house sitter, your house will not be vacant while you are away. This is a great deterrent for would be thieves who may be roaming around Green Valley AZ neighborhoods looking for vacant houses to rob.

2. Install a Security Device

Another fool-proof option for protecting your home while you are away is to install a security device. In some cases, your insurance company may even reward you with a break on your premium if you have one of these installed. 

3. Ask a Neighbor to Check on Your Home

A friendly neighbor should be happy to help you out while your away. They can collect your mail and in general, just keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Even if you have a security device, having a neighbor keep an eye on your property while you are away is always a good idea.
