A security system is undoubtedly the best way to prevent burglary but by installing additional security measures such as lighting or CCTV, you’ll be providing your home and family with the best possible protection.

When combined with a security alarm and exterior lighting, a comprehensive security system such as this will provide your home with round-the-clock protection.

Protect your home during the long winter nights

Could your home benefit from the protection provided by security lighting?

So the clocks have moved back an hour and the long winter nights will be with us for the next five months or so. With this in mind, now is a great time to review the security of your home and to ensure it is adequately protected during the hours of darkness.

Don’t let thieves hide in the shadows

Studies have shown that sadly thieves make the most of the cover of darkness to break in or check out a property. Security lighting offers an effective way to deter criminals, illuminating the outside areas of your home and making it more secure in the process. The installation of security lighting is relatively cost-effective and when you consider the expense and stress it could save you in the long run, offers a great way to give yourself added peace of mind.

A range of security lighting options are available and we’ll talk through your requirements with you before recommending the most suitable type for your property. Dawn until dusk lighting provides continuous protection during the hours of darkness, whilst sensor security lighting is designed to switch on only when movement is detected.

For unbeatable, comprehensive protection, a combined security alarm, lighting and CCTV system is pretty hard to beat. As specialists in all aspects of security protection, we’ll offer advice on the best way to protect your home and whether you already have a security system or are starting from scratch, we’ll provide you with the solutions you need.

Improve the energy efficiency of your home?

Save money by improving the energy efficiency of your home

These days we take electricity for granted and very few of us stop to think about how much electricity we use on a daily basis.  From boiling the kettle to switching on a light or charging a mobile phone; it all adds up and because the price of electricity continues to rise, energy efficiency is something should all take more seriously.

Becoming more energy efficient will not only help you save money by reducing your electricity bills, a reduction in the amount of energy you use also means that fewer fossil fuels are burnt.  Fossil fuels are burnt in order to produce electricity and this in turn increases carbon emissions which have been linked to global warming.

The way in which electricity consumption is measured can be very confusing – working out how much electricity you’ve used by looking at your bill can prove almost impossible!  One of the best ways to keep tabs on how much electricity you use is to invest in an energy monitor.  These small portable gadgets are designed to tell you (almost in real-time) how much energy you are using, either in pounds and pence or in kilowatt hours.

There are many things you can do to reduce the cost of your energy bills.  Energy-efficient household appliances can prove to be very useful but there’s little point in splashing out on brand-new appliances unless it’s time to replace them.  Some energy-efficient appliances can be very expensive to buy so it’s important to take into consideration how much money you’ll save.  Or, if you want to try something radical, you could switch to one of the green electricity suppliers or even think about generating your own electricity.

Contact Dalec for information on electrical installations in Leeds

Small changes though can make a big difference and as we’ve covered in previous posts, remembering to unplug your mobile phone charger once your phone is charged and turning the TV off at the mains at night, can all help. Here at Dalec we offer a range of services, designed to help our customers improve the safety and efficiency of their homes. Whether you’d like advice on installing energy efficient LED lighting or a new appliance, we have the expertise to help. Why not get in touch to arrange a free, no-obligation quote?

Security solutions for businesses in Leeds

Security solutions for businesses in Leeds

Security is of paramount importance for all businesses but if your premises are open to clients or customers, ensuring security when your doors are always open can prove to be something of a challenge.

Obviously it’s almost impossible to keep a shop or open business premises completely secure all of the time, however there are several very effective steps you can take to dramatically improve security.

Security solutions designed to provide protection for commercial premises

Here at Dalec we work with a wide range of businesses in Leeds, providing effective security solutions. Here are some examples of security systems which can be designed to suit your individual requirements:

  • Panic buttons can provide a relatively simple yet highly effective way to protect your staff and offer them peace of mind. Panic buttons are designed to be installed in various locations – under a shop counter or reception desk are good examples – and once pressed will contact the police quickly and discreetly.
  • CCTV offers one of the most effective solutions as not only will the cameras record a crime as it is happening, the sight of the cameras is often enough of a deterrent to put off all but the most determined of criminals. Although dummy CCTV systems are available, there really is no substitute for the real thing as the latest cameras will provide the police with clear images, whilst also providing valuable evidence which can be used in the event of an insurance claim.
  • Security lighting is the ideal way to deter intruders and illuminate dark spaces where they might otherwise hide. Designed to offer reassurance when opening or locking up during the hours of darkness, security solution can help to alert you to a potential threat, whilst offering additional peace of mind that your property is protected.
  • Door entry systems provide an effective solution, ideal for businesses which don’t receive many visitors. Installing a door entry system will allow you to screen visitors before giving them access – combined intercom and camera systems are increasingly popular as they allow members of staff to see and communicate with visitors before letting them in.

Enhance your garden with outdoor lighting

Get ready for the summer by installing garden and outdoor lighting

Although it’s hard to imagine at the moment, spring and summer really are on the way – honestly! In just a few months we should be able to get outside and enjoy sitting in the garden and installing lighting offers a great way to help you get maximum use from your outdoor spaces. A huge range of stunning garden and outdoor lighting is now available, from lighting designed to be recessed into decking, paths or patios, through to solar powered lights to highlight particular plants or border areas.

Safe electrical installation is vital

There’s no doubt that illuminating your garden or patio is a lovely way to enjoy those long summer evenings, however if your garden is to be safe, lighting must be installed correctly. Electricity and water should never, ever be mixed and badly installed lighting should come into contact with water, whether rainwater or water from a hose, the results can be devastating.

Contact Dalec and call in the experts

If you’re thinking about installing garden lighting – mains operated lights in particular – our advice is to call in the experts rather than trying to install it yourself. Here at Dalec we are a team of skilled and qualified electricians, with many years of expertise in all aspects of electrical installations.

Our advice on ensuring electrical safety in the workplace

Electrical installations in Leeds

If you run your own business it is important that you’re aware of your obligations in terms of electrical safety. From ensuring electrical equipment is installed correctly through to regular electrical safety cheques, the importance of electrical safety in the workplace should never be underestimated.

Regardless of the size of your business – whether you are based in a small office or a large factory – failure to ensure electrical safety can present a serious hazard to your staff, your property and your business. Here’s what you need to be aware of to ensure your business is safe and protected:

  • A risk assessment of all electrical equipment is an excellent way to get started and to understand the hazards that this type of equipment can present. You should look at various hazards including trailing wires, exposed wiring, overloaded sockets, exposed live wires, incorrect use of cable connectors, faulty equipment or installations.
  • It’s important that your staff have a clear understanding of how to report electrical hazards. Regular training is important and electrical safety should always be included in your induction programme for new members of staff.
  • Creating a health and safety chart is a good idea; by encouraging your staff to complete the chart with details of any hazards they come across, you’ll be helping to ensure they understand the importance of electrical safety and to prevent potentially dangerous issues from occurring.
  • Regular visual checks are important and whilst you don’t always need to carry out checks on small, battery-powered items, it’s a good idea to check mains adaptor plugs and cables for signs of wear and tear.
  • Whilst you don’t need a professional electrician to plug in your new computer for you, the skills of a professional are required for all electrical repair work and installations such as plug sockets and light switches.

Contact Dalec to find out more

Here at Dalec we offer a wide range of cost effective services for businesses in Leeds and throughout Yorkshire. From electrical safety checks and assessments, through to installations, repairs and more, we can help you ensure your businesses is running safely and your staff are protected.
