Can a Burglar Alarm Save You Money on Home Insurance?

 
Safeguarding your home against possible dangers is something every homeowner takes seriously, and for good reason. A home is a safe space for you and your family to relax, learn and grow. House on fire

One of the most common dangers is a break-in. No one likes the idea of someone forcibly entering their home and taking their belongings, or worse, hurting someone. Home insurance provides compensation for damage or loss of your personal property in case of theft, but many people don’t want to pay too much for home insurance. Unfortunately, less coverage leaves you open to loss that exceeds the limits of your policy. 

Thankfully, there are ways you can both protect your home and save money on home insurance. 

Adding certain safety measures to your home can lower your home insurance rates. This is because safety measures lower the risk of a claim and an insurance provider having to payout compensation. 

Reducing Burglary and Theft Risks 

There are different ways to prevent theft and burglary, including adding a burglar alarm. Even simply having a sign out front to show that you have a burglar alarm can deter would-be thieves. It’s also important to not leave items in your vehicles, and to keep anything valuable locked up and out of sight from windows. You may also prevent theft by clever landscaping. Cut away trees and bushes around the home where someone could hide and invest in lights for areas such as the front and back doors and garage. You should also frequently update locks and reinforce doors and windows to make it harder for them to be picked or broken. 

Fire Risks 

Fire is a very common cause of a home insurance claim. Be sure to have an updated fire alarm system. It may also help to have a fire extinguisher accessible in the home. Doing this can also save you money on home insurance. Be conscious of burning candles or fireplace fires not going unattended. 

Weather Risks 

Other risks come from natural occurrences, such as storms. To protect your home and save money on home insurance, update your home to be weather and storm-resistant. You can do this by sealing doors and windows and updating your roof to a hail-resistant roof. 

All in all, the most important thing when it comes to your home is safety. Take precautionary measures to protect your home and everyone in it.
