are to offer discounts.
Chicago
(InsuranceAgents.com) – Did you know that summer is the
most popular time of the year for home burglaries in the US? During
the summer months there is a burglary every 10 seconds since so
many people are on vacation, away from their homes, and the weather
is nice.
An
alarm system is one of the best ways of making sure your home
is properly protected. However, many people don’t realize
that having a home
alarm system means homeowners insurance savings.
According
to a recent article published by InsuranceAgents.com, “For
an insurance company, low risk is the name of the game. They like
policyholders who have considered home safety and security and
have taken necessary steps to thwart intruders …”
This means investing in an alarm system and taking other precautions
like installing dead-bolt locks and shatterproof windows can save
you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, in insurance premiums
each year.
To
many people the idea of installing an alarm system can sound too
expensive, but when compared against the 5-20% savings per year
on homeowners
insurance quotes, the costs suddenly seem much more affordable.
Even a simple alarm system can still save you 5% a year or more
with most homeowners insurance companies. Also, adding a deadbolt
to all entry doors in your home can qualify you for a discount
of 5% at many companies.
The
InsuranceAgents.com article explains that the more you can show
the homeowners insurance company that you are protecting your
house against break-ins the more they are willing to discount
your policy. With the economy still struggling and people looking
to save every penny they can, this is the perfect time to review
your homeowners insurance policy and find out how you can start
to save more money by taking advantage of available discounts.
