As fall arrives in the Midlands, homes in Columbia and Lexington face unique security challenges. Shorter days, early sunsets, and families spending more time away during fall trips or weekend activities can create opportunities for break-ins. Now is the perfect time to evaluate your home security and consider upgrades that provide better coverage, smarter monitoring, and peace of mind for your family.
1. . Why Fall is a Key Time for Security Upgrades
- Increased darkness during evening hours can make homes more vulnerable.
- Seasonal yard work, leaves, and decorations may create blind spots.
