Top Ten Reasons to have a Home Alarm System:
- Alarms today do much more then protect, they also provide home automation and energy management features, and almost pay for themselves!
- Typical home owner’s insurance policies offer a discount between 2 – 20% for having a monitored alarm system.
- Nearly half of all burglars break-in through the front door, 32% via the back door, and 22% via a main floor window. The rest are through other areas, such as garage, basement, or 2nd story window.
- The number of homes with an alarm system has increased nearly 40% over the last 5 years!
- 1 in 6 American Home Owners have invested in an electronic security system, and say they feel safer by having it.
- Burglars are more likely to break into your home during working hours (9:30am – 4:00pm), not so much at night.
- Your chances of suffering a break-in are greatest right after moving into a new home, as burglars know that an alarm probably hasn’t been installed yet.
- According to the National Fire & Burglar Alarm Association (Now the Electronic Security Association), homes without an alarm are 3x more likely to be broken into then homes with an alarm!
- The average loss from a break-in is $1,300.00 per incident!
- A burglary is committed in America once in every 10 seconds. This adds up to 13 million homes, that’s one out of every 20 homes!
