3 Simple Steps Toward Better Home Security

Your home is arguably the most important investment you'll ever make, and it's essential you do everything possible to protect it from outside forces. Luckily, Dauphin home security systems are more affordable than ever, but there are additional steps you can take. In one article, it was stated:

Security systems are great because they detract would-be burglars and alert you about those who have made it into the premises. And even with a great system, there are still simple things you can do to provide your home the protection it deserves.

Things you can do to better protect your home include getting a guard dog, securing all access points and making sure your home looks like it's occupied even if you're not there. The more precautions you take in protecting your home, the less likely you are to suffer from a crime.

The Benefits of a Home Security System

In today's day and age, it's more important than ever to make sure your home is as protected as possible. One of the best and most effective ways to do so is to have a Mechanicsburg home security system installed. We discussed this a while back in an article and noted:

"Home security systems can also save you money. Many home insurance companies will offer discounts for homeowners who have such a system installed, as it makes that home less likely to incur loss from a burglary."

You'll of course have to invest a little bit for the cost of the security system (installation, the actual system, etc.), but in the long term, the system will pay off itself thanks to the savings you'll see on your homeowners insurance. Essentially, you'll get a free security system in a couple of years thanks to the discounts you'll receive!

Home Security Statistics

Looking to keep your home as protected as possible this summer? We've rounded up some statistics regarding home security that can help. If you don't have a home security system installed yet, these stats might motivate you to make that a priority.

Did you know:

• The majority of burglaries occur during the summer.
• Approximately 66% of burglaries are home break-ins.
• In the United States, a home is broken into every 13 seconds.
• Over 2.5 million home intrusions happen every year.
• Homes that aren't equipped with security systems see their break-in potential go up 300%.

By installing a home security system, you can increase the chance that a burglar will be caught, but you'll find that a large number of burglars will completely avoid a home if they believe a security system is installed. These systems can also help keep your neighbors and surrounding neighborhood more safe.

A Few Benefits to Installing a Home Security System

Besides the obvious benefits of protecting your loved ones and your property, there are some other benefits to installing a home security system that might not be as apparent. For instance, have you ever thought about the effect that a home security system can have on your home's value? It's said that real estate agents will put a higher value on a home that has a security system installed, since more buyers will be interested in living in a place that is more safe and secure.

Another benefit is the discounts you might receive from a home insurance company for having a system installed. Security systems can alert you to intruders or can deter them from ever trying to break in at all, which saves your insurance company money. Those savings can get passed on to you if you install the right kind of system.

Saving Money with a Home Security System

Did you know that a home security system can not only protect you and your possessions, it can also save you money? Homeowners with home insurance can save big -- as much as 20% -- on their home insurance premiums by having a home security system with active monitoring installed in their home.

Even without the savings, a home security system is a smart add because of the number of ways it can keep you and your loved ones safe. A home security system can detect a home intruder, a carbon monoxide leak, a fire, and can act as a deterrent to anyone who might think about trespassing onto your property or attempting to break into your home.
