Unfortunately, burglaries are a worry that every homeowner has experienced. Increasing the protection and security of your home is an important aspect of keeping you and your family safe from unwanted guests as well as lowering the cost of your homeowner’s insurance. Here are 5 benefits of a home security system:
Decreases crime in your neighborhood
The more home security systems in your neighborhood, the less crime that happens as a result. By installing your own security system, you also increase the overall safety of other homeowners in your vicinity and deter criminals from coming near your property.
Notifies you in case of a disaster
Depending on the type of security system installed, it may notify you in the case of a gas problem or a fire. Although smoke and gas detectors already have these benefits, there is no harm in having an extra level of precaution in your home.
Controlling electricity use
Certain types of security systems can control the temperature of your home or even turn the lights on and off. If you forget to turn off the lights as you rush out the door, you can always rely on your security system to do it for you with the push of a button.
Lowers homeowner’s insurance payments
Installing a home security system can lower your homeowner’s insurance by up to 20%. Keeping you safe while cutting costs at the same time makes installing a security system a no-brainer!
Overall peace of mind
Instead of worrying about the protection of your family and valuables, you can now have time to enjoy your home and the memories shared there. Talk to an RIS Insurance member today about any questions you may have about home security systems and their benefits!

It’s good that you highlighted how having more home security systems installed helps decrease the crimes in your neighborhood since this can deter criminals from coming near your property. I live alone, and since my work shift runs late as well, I’m worried about burglars breaking into my home while I’m not around. I’ll be sure to get a security system installed soon to alert me of problems in the future.
Thank you for explaining how home security systems can help to increase the safety of other homeowners in your neighborhood. I’ve been wondering about who would benefit besides us when we get a security system installed. I hadn’t thought about the whole neighborhood benefitting, but it definitely increases the appeal of installing it.
Thanks for sharing the benefits of home security systems.
