Window Air Conditioners Might Be Your Weak Spot

HSC Staff Writer

Theres nothing better than cranking up the window air conditioner on a hot summer night. Did you know that same window air conditioner that provides you so much comfort at night, might just be the weakest point in your homes security? Thats right the weakest point. You see many people secure their window air conditioners from the outside and dont give a second thought to securing it from the inside.

A window air conditioner secured from the outside can be easily pushed in providing a thief a gaping hole to get into the house from a window. There are several kits on the market designed to secure you air conditioner from both the inside and outside of your home. Never underestimate a thiefs ability to get into your home by assuming since the air conditioner is on the second floor no one would climb up that high. The fact of the matter is a thief may be able to use a number of items lying around to reach that level if not beyond. Regardless of where you window air conditioner is placed make sure it as secure as the rest of your home.
