Insurance Discounts
One of the many benefits that come with a home alarm system is better risk management. Homeowner’s insurance is expensive because of the risk they take on in covering your property. A home security system reduces their risk of coverage, which means you should be eligible for savings on your monthly premiums, depending on your carrier.
Discounts Fluctuate among Providers
Of course, every home, neighborhood, and provider is different so we cannot tell you how much you will save, but typically it is between 10-20% off your monthly premiums. In this tough economy, protect your hard-earned belongings and your family at the lowest cost possible. The savings you achieve on your homeowners insurance make a new alarm system all the more attractive.
Contact your representative from your insurance agency to find out what kind of discount you may be eligible for. Security One can provide you with a certificate that verifies your home is protected with our monitoring services and wireless equipment.
