15 Sep 2020

Does having a home security system sound like luxury to you, one that you do not think you can afford? Well what if we told you that beyond the safety and security that these systems provide, you could also save money by using them.

Before thinking “hmm! That is not possible,” why not accept that it’s possible and maybe you just haven’t found out how.

Now that you are open to finding out, without further ado, here are four ways by which you can save some more bucks off your security system.You will no doubt be excited about your new found knowledge.

Top 4 Ways a Home Security System Saves Money List

1. It’ll Help You Save Off a Fire Or Water Damage

Rarely do homeowners think of a home security system as a way to save money but that still does not deny the fact that it can save them a lot of money in the long run.

A not so far away example is when you are able to save your valuables and possessions from a sudden fire or flood catastrophe, because you had a home security system that could monitor what is happening in your home.

With the advancement in technology, you can have the security system connected to your handheld device, which makes it so easy for you to identify trespassers on your property and potential hazards that can put your home at risk.

Some security systems can detect fire very quickly and alert the fire department faster than you might have. If you count the cost of losing all your important documents to a fire outbreak, you’ll no doubt agree with us that it would likely cost more than you will have spent on home security.

2. You Will Save Off Your Valuables

Count the cost of filing a police report then sum it up with the cost of your valuable belongings and that of your loved ones. Do you still think a security system is optional? We bet your answer is No!

When you set up a home security system, you are not only sending a warning signal to strangers to stay off your property, you are equally saving yourself of the stress and unending cost of having to replace the stolen items.

If your home gets attacked by thieves, you will be required to alert the police, make an insurance claim, and incur other expenses that you did not plan for.

As though that is not demanding enough, have you taught about the psychological effect it can have on you and your loved ones? If you haven’t, then you should. Like we said in the opening text, count the cost and you’ll realize that a smart security system is equally a smart way to lower cost.

3. You Will Save Off Your Home Insurance Premium

Does this sound too good to be true? Well, let’s find out.

The same way a car alarm can lower your car insurance, a security system can as well lower insurance premium of your house.

As stated by AAInsurance, you can end up saving up to 20% on home insurance by doing a thorough insurance quote comparison. It is also a sure way to secure for yourself a better deal if you check it up in the nick of time. If that already excites you, well, there’s more.

Most homeowners insurers will readily extend discounts to clients who understand the value of home security and have a round the clock home security system that is monitored by the police and the fire department.

With the rise in cost of home insurance, having a home security system reduces the risk of a break in and can set you up for other juicy insurance rewards.

4. It Will Ward Off Burglars

Let’s do a quick comparison: Will a home that has a tight security system be a greater prey to burglars compared to one without a security system? Well, we both know the answer.

Some homeowners have had to use a fake CCTV camera or alarm system and guess what, most of them have attested to the fact that it created a better living environment for them. How much more when you have a real security system installed? It means you can expect better results, if not a 100% result.

If you live in a neighborhood that has frequent cases of burglary, then you already know that you are exposed to a much greater and costly risk. Install a security system, even if it has to be an affordable but fake one to start with, that is a good way to tell the burglar to stay off your home zone.

With what you know, you should not hesitate to secure your home.

It is indeed cost effective!
