1. Secure Your Perimeter

2. Illuminate Your Exterior

Proper lighting can deter potential intruders and enhance overall safety. Install motion-activated lights around your property to illuminate dark corners and pathways. This not only discourages unwanted visitors but also creates a safer environment for you and your family.

3. Invest in Smart Home Security

Incorporating smart home security systems can significantly elevate your safety measures. Modern technology allows for remote monitoring, real-time alerts, and even integration with other smart devices. Emberstone Asheville recommends staying connected to your home through advanced security solutions for an added layer of protection.

4. Prioritize Fire Safety

Fire safety is a critical aspect of home security. Emberstone Asheville urges homeowners to implement the following fire safety measures:

a. Install Smoke Detectors

Place smoke detectors strategically throughout your home, especially in bedrooms and common areas. Regularly test and replace batteries to ensure they are in optimal working condition.

b. Create an Evacuation Plan

Develop a clear evacuation plan with all members of your household. Practice fire drills regularly to ensure everyone knows the safest routes to exit in case of an emergency.

c. Invest in Fire Extinguishers

Keep fire extinguishers in key locations, such as the kitchen and garage. Ensure everyone in your household is familiar with their operation.

d. Maintain Electrical Appliances

Regularly inspect and maintain electrical appliances to prevent potential fire hazards. Replace faulty wiring and outlets promptly to reduce the risk of electrical fires.

By incorporating these home safety tips, you can create a secure environment for you and your loved ones in the year 2024 and beyond. Emberstone Asheville, in collaboration with All Star Lock & Security, is committed to helping you fortify your home against potential risks, ensuring a safe haven for all.

  Alex was able to fit me in quickly and did a thorough chimney inspection for me. I had a great experience with Emberstone and hope to use them again in the future!

  Alex and his crew came and provided us with a chimney sweep and inspection to my Asheville home. Communication was great, showed up on time, wore a mask and left the place very clean. Going to have them do some repair work soon, they found a few issues.

  After our 110 year old farm house was damaged by a tornado I contacted Alex with Emberstone.  He came out quickly to look at our two damaged chimneys one of which was completely down to the roofline.  Knowing that our roof could not be repaired until the chimneys where, he and his crew came on a weekend to do the repairs as soon as possible.  Not only did they complete both in one day the work they did was superb.  I have over 30 years experience in construction inspections and this company is top notch.  Their work is superior and so is their work ethic.  They maintained a clean work site and when they left you could not tell they had been.  I highly recommend Emberstone.  Give them a call.

  Emberstone came out and did my dryer vent cleaning + chimney inspection and sweep service, I was so surprised that they cover all of the raleigh/durham, nc area and yet were able to give me a prompt appointment date and show up to do an on-site quote in a very short amount of time. The chimney inspection technician seemed knowledgeable and the dryer vent cleaning guy really loves his job, having so much fun while maintaining a much welcomed professionalism you don't see often with service providers these days. Highly recommend giving them a call for all your chimney, fireplace and dryer vent cleaning needs.

  Before a few months ago I’d never lived anywhere with a fireplace. Deciding to be on the safe side in my new home I scheduled to have a Emberstone come out to inspect and possibly sweep my chimney. When I called to schedule the appointment the gal I spoke with was very pleasant and informative, giving me fees and letting me know what to expect. Today Alex came out for the appointment. He called before he arrived and arrived within the scheduled window. He was professional, courteous, and also very informative. After the sweep and inspection he went over the state of our chimney and he gave me a little fireplace 101. I would absolutely recommend Emberstone’s services, it could not have gone better!
