6 Things You Should Know About Home Security Systems
THERE ARE many considerations when installing a home security system, including the benefits of the latest home convenience features now offered. In our 40 years of serving East Tennessee families, here are just a few of the reasons why homeowners choose Fleenor Security Systems to protect their homes and loved ones.

1. Protect valuables
Protecting valuables, of course, is the benefit most people immediately think of regarding home security. We likely all know someone who has lost electronics, jewelry, or other high-value items due to a home invasion. The tragedy can intensify if the stolen valuable is an irreplaceable family heirloom. While using a safe can help protect irreplaceable items, a home security system has an alarm that can scare off many would-be burglars - before they are inside - and notify the local authorities if someone does attempt a break-in.
2. Deter crime
A 2009 study by Rutgers found that as the number of home security systems increased in an area, the number of residential robberies decreases - even for people who did not own a security system. Having a security system not only protects you; it also helps deter crime and create a safer neighborhood for everyone.
3. Allow remote access to your home
Modern security systems now allow you to remotely monitor your home from your phone when you’re not there. You can monitor security cameras installed throughout your home, control smart thermostats, smart keyless door locks, smart lighting, and other smart devices in every room of your home.
4. Lower homeowner insurance premiums
Having a monitored system in your home can lower your homeowner’s insurance premiums. These savings, combined with instant access to police and emergency responders, makes a security system a great value.
5. Notification of fire alarm or gas leak
You can opt-in to receive notifications if your smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors go off when you’re away from home. You can even set up the system to notify authorities in the event of these emergencies.
6. Provide peace of mind
The sense of security and comfort you gain with an alarm system is perhaps the most prominent benefit of all. Next to being protected, the confidence of feeling safe will help you be a more productive, healthy, and focused person.
Adding a security system to your home gives you an extra layer of defense against any potential intruders. Whether you rent or own, you can enjoy the benefits that come with having a security system.

YOUR HARDWOOD floors were once the pride and joy of your home. Now, instead of adding to the overall appearance of your home, they detract from it, causing you to strategically arrange area rugs over high traffic and damaged areas in an attempt to camouflage them. Throughout the years, UV damage, normal daily wear and tear, scratches, minor water damage, and a host of other mishaps have transformed your once magnificent hardwood floors into an eyesore that you try to hide.
There’s a solution that we are all familiar with: Refinishing. However, many of us are reluctant to refinish our home’s hardwood floors because of the negative refinishing stories others have shared with us, such as dust from sanding permeates every square inch of your home and there’s an overpowering odor of stains and finishes. Sadly, many of those stories are true. But, even more sadly, these types of experiences don’t need to be repeated but often are.
There have been significant technological advances in hardwood flooring refinishing that have all but eliminated these most common homeowner complaints. Bona, the world’s foremost name in the wood floor care and refinishing industry, has developed a system that eliminates the dust and odors associated with hardwood floor refinishing. In East Tennessee, European Fine Hardwood Floors, who are recipients of the much coveted Bona Certified Craftsman honor, has invested in the training and technology to provide you with the dustless and odor free hardwood floor refinish experience you deserve.
With Bona’s vacuum technology, dust from sanding is safely removed using a high-efficiency vacuum system with HEPA filters. These vacuums, placed outside your home, are connected to European Fine Hardwood Floors’ refinishing equipment using high-volume vacuum hoses. The result? Dustless refinishing! This, combined with their low to no odor stains and finishes, ensures that your hardwood floor refinishing experience will be a positive one. Just ask their customers.
With well-learned craftsmanship and state-ofthe-art vacuum systems, European Fine Hardwood Floors is truly a cut above your typical hardwood flooring installer or refinisher. To learn more, or to request your no-obligation, in-home consultation/ estimate, call European Fine Hardwood Floors to update your home’s hardwood floors this spring.

“Several years ago we refinished our hardwood floors. Upon meeting Valera and Svetlana, we were immediately impressed with their professionalism and knowledge. Valera was very hard working and meticulous. The job was completed on time, there was no mess or dust to clean up, and the floors were restored to a higher level than we had previously seen. We recently purchased another house and called Valera and Svetlana to refinish the floors. Again, the results were outstanding. Friends and visitors always compliment our beautiful floors and often ask who did the work. We are happy to recommend they call EFHF. They are fine craftsmen and delightful people to work with. Seeing them again for the new project was like meeting with old friends.” - Bob Marquis

Premiere Consignment Celebrates Its 9th Anniversary
BY AARON HUNT, CO-OWNER OF PREMIERE CONSIGNMENT
ON BEHALF of the entire Hunt family, as we begin our 9th year in business, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for both your support and encouragement since we launched Premiere Consignment in Tellico Village.
In addition to offering incredible savings on thousands of square feet of quality, name brand, pre-owned furniture, home décor, lamps, Oriental and area rugs, and art from homes in area lake and golf front communities, including Tellico Village and Rarity Bay, Premiere Consignment also provides the opportunity to sell your unused personal items through our eBay store. We are the perfect venue to take full advantage of this continuously growing selling phenomenon. The key to success in selling many of your household items at the highest price is to target a marketplace with the largest number of potential buyers. Through the power of eBay’s millions of buyers, products can often sell much faster and at a much higher price than you might expect – and with very little effort on your part.
Here’s how it works: Potential items are evaluated at our intake area; accepted items receive a tracking number. Those items are then professionally photographed. Item description, pricing, and photographs are entered on eBay’s website. As items are sold, they’re carefully packed and shipped to the winning bidder. You then receive payment for your sold items!
To get positive results on eBay, items need to be presented in as professional a manner as possible. Premiere Consignment has made a significant investment in photographic and lighting equipment, computer software, and hardware to bring the power of eBay to you. Our expertise ensures quality photos with well-written descriptions. And because buyers are often reluctant to purchase from sellers with limited records or no track record at all, Premiere Consignment’s high eBay seller rating is another plus. With the quality and quantity of items we sell on eBay, we give potential buyers the peace of mind that comes from selecting a seller with an established track record.
To learn how to take advantage of a world of opportunity to sell many of your unused household items through Premiere Consignment, powered by eBay, call us at 865-458-9721 or visit us at 320 Lakeside Plaza in Loudon today.
