Introduction: The Seasonal Spike in Home Burglaries

As we transition into summer, our focus often drifts towards enjoying the outdoors and soaking in the warmth. But alongside the seasonal cheer, there’s a less celebrated trend that electricians need to be aware of – an increased incidence of home burglaries. This presents not only a societal concern but also a significant opportunity for electricians who install security systems.

Understanding the Statistics: The Frequency and Timing of Burglaries

UK statistics paint a disturbing picture: a burglary happens every 108 seconds, with most incidents surprisingly taking place in broad daylight. An unsettling 58% of the time, someone is home during the invasion. While this presents a safety concern for homeowners, it also underscores the critical need for high-quality, professional security system installations.

Here's where you step in: equipped with the knowledge and skills to install quality security systems, you have the power to provide homeowners with peace of mind.

Break-In Patterns: Doors as Entry Points and the Role of Familiarity

The majority of break-ins, about 67%, occur through a door. And in a surprising revelation, 43% of burglars are known to their victims. A significant 63% of these incidents occur in homes without a basic security system.
