Home Alarm Sytems Thwart Increasing Burglary and Homeowners Insurance Rates

As burglary rates and insurance premiums increase, the best defense for homeowners might be a new home alarm system.
 
June 25, 2009 - PRLog -- According to national crime data, a home burglary will occur every ten seconds this summer.  Seasonal vacations and other warm weather activity lure many homeowners away, leaving burglars with ample opportunity to find empty homes.  As crime data further dictates, those homes lacking alarm systems will be 3 times more likely to be infiltrated.  Insurance Agents, in turn, can offer better homeowners insurance rates to those protecting their property with home alarm systems.

While home alarm systems can be quite expensive, not all carry a hefty price tag.  And even in situations where alarm systems are expensive, homeowners can find savings in discounts applied to their homeowners insurance.  By notifying agents of a new or updated home alarm system, the agent can reassess the risk involved in insuring that home.

Homeowners should notify their insurance agents following the addition of any of the below items:

* deadbolts
* shatterproof glass windows
* motion-sensitive illumination
* simple home alarm systems
* sophisticated home alarm systems

Aside from seasonal variables, a down economy can also enhance the likelihood that your home might be burglarized.  Now is the time to reconsider your home’s security, and save money in the process.
