When you consider the most valuable items in your home, what do you normally think of? You think about all of your big ticket electronics, like your computers and your televisions. You also think of your smaller valuable such as jewelry. While all of these items likely have both high monetary and sentimental value, that are not the most valuable thing in your home.
What is the most valuable thing in your home, you ask? Your air conditioning unit! This may come as a surprise, but some intrepid thieves make a living of stealing air conditioning units.
Can you even imagine the misery of having your air conditioning unit stolen on a hot summer day? You will be out thousands of dollars and believing in a sweltering 100-degree nightmare. So what can you do to prevent air conditioning theft? We will let you know!
Durablecages.com and SafeguardAC.com both manufacture high-quality steel air conditioning cages which will help protect your unit. Yes, these protective cages do cost a few hundred dollars, but that is a small price compared to having your AC unit stolen. If a thief sees a protective cage over your AC unit, they will likely move on to easier prey.
As we just mentioned, thieves like things to be easy. If they cannot quickly find your AC unit, they will just move on. Use landscaping to your advantage. Hide your AC unit behind a row of shrubs, vines, or other plants. Not only is this excellent for security, but it will also improve the look of your backyard!
Air condition alarms are also available. Nothing will chase away a thief faster than a blaring alarm. After all, they don’t want to be caught!
