Why do I need a home security system?
Protecting your home and belongings is important. By installing a security system you can prevent burglaries by deterring burglars from targeting your home. Security systems can give you peace of mind and lower your home insurance rates.
Homeowners insurance discounts for security systems.
Many insurance companies will give discounts if you have security systems or features in place. This is because security systems reduce the risk for a break in, burglary, or fire from happening, thus reducing how risky your home is to insure from the insurance company’s point of view.
Types of home security systems and features.
Smoke Alarms
By installing smoke detectors and a sprinkler system with fire alarms in your home can decrease your rates as well as prevent fires or reduce damage from a fire in your home.
Deadbolt Locks
Deadbolt locks prevent unwanted intruders from entering your home. By installing these locks to your home you could get a discount on home insurance.
Security Systems
A home security system can alert you or the authorities when someone has broken into your home. This means getting the help you need as soon as possible and keeping your family and belongings safe.
Gated Community
A gated community is another security measure that will keep intruders from even entering your neighborhood. Living in a gated community will decrease risk and give you even more discounts on your insurance.
