How safe is your neighborhood? The truth is, you never can tell where thieves may strike, so it’s best to prepare yourself and your home in case of an emergency. Installing a burglar alarm system can not only help keep you and your belongings safe, it can also help lower your homeowners insurance no matter where you live.

The Burglar Alarm Discount

Once your home is broken into and items are stolen, the insurance company is tasked with dealing with the claims and may raise your insurance premiums. But what if you install an alarm? The thief may be thwarted by signage on your lawn or the alarm going off. There’s no break in, nothing is stolen, so there’s no claim paperwork to deal with, and your insurance company saves money. Some companies like to award the customers who save them money by offering discounts.

If you have a burglar alarm, you’re less of an insurance risk. So, your premiums may not be as high as your neighbor who doesn’t have a system in place. Now you’re not only safer, but you’re a little richer too.

Multifunctional Security System

When shopping for a burglar alarm, you will find many systems that come with additional safety features. Some provide a direct link to police and medical services in case of an emergency or fire. Others offer interior and exterior surveillance. There are automatic timers for lights and other appliances in your home. A comprehensive smart home system can offer a myriad of safety options. The more options you have, the less of a risk you are to your insurance company, and the better rate you can get.

Reducing the risk that your home will be burglarized reduces the risk of filing an insurance claim. With lower risk comes lower rates. Contact Security Five at 610-323-9511 with any questions you have about a burglar system. Make your home a little safer in any neighborhood.
