How to Protect Your Home While Traveling for the Holidays

Traveling during the holidays can be exciting, but leaving your home unoccupied may pose safety concerns. Enjoy your travels this holiday season by considering the following tips to keep your home safe and secure in your absence. white and brown house on brown textile

  • Secure your home—Ensure all doors and windows are locked before you leave, and consider deadbolts on exterior doors. Alarms, surveillance cameras, and smart home devices, such as smart locks, thermostats, and cameras, can provide additional security and convenience.
  • Maintain a lived-in appearance—A home that looks occupied is less likely to be targeted by burglars. Use timers to turn lights on and off at different times, and consider a temporary pause for mail and deliveries.
  • Inform trusted neighbors—Ask a trusted neighbor to monitor your property while you're away. Give them your contact information and a spare key in case of emergencies.
  • Unplug electronics—Unplug non-essential electronics, such as toasters, coffee makers and televisions, to prevent potential fire hazards and save on energy costs. Consider turning off your water supply to prevent leaks or pipe bursts.
  • Secure valuables—Store valuable items like jewelry, electronics and important documents in a safe or hidden location to protect them from theft or damage.
  • Check your home insurance policy—Review your home insurance policy to understand what is covered while you're away. Some policies may require you to take specific precautions, such as having someone check on your home periodically. Ensure your policy is up-to-date and covers potential risks like theft, fire, and water damage.
