How Insurance Savings Work
A monthly insurance premium protects you in case the worst-case scenario becomes reality and you become the victim of a crime. After a burglary or robbery, an insurance company will step in to compensate you for your losses. If you lack insurance, you’re out of luck, which is why it’s so essential to have a comprehensive insurance policy. But fulfilling an insurance claim can be an expensive endeavor, and it’s in an insurer’s best interest to incentivize you to lower your risk and reduce the chances of a crime taking place. A commercial security system can bring down your insurance by 5 to 20% — a percentage that can result in significant savings.
Are you curious whether you might qualify for a discount? Contacting your insurance agent is the easiest way to find out. Often, there are certain parameters a security system must meet to be eligible for a full reduction in cost. Some insurers require systems to be professionally monitored, so self-monitored alarms might not qualify. You’ll also probably be asked for proof of installation to prove that your security system is legitimate. That could be a contract, a sales invoice, or a monitoring certificate. Your discount will be applied once you’ve satisfied the company’s requirements, potentially saving you thousands of dollars annually.
Investing in security is an investment in your future. Research shows that crime goes down when cameras go up, and taking the simple step of hiring a security professional can help you avoid a headache in the long run. Commercial security reduces the chance of someone robbing, burgling, or vandalizing your property and gives you peace of mind that’s difficult to find otherwise. A professionally monitored alarm protects you 24/7, even if you’re nowhere near your property. If someone does break in, law enforcement will be notified in a matter of minutes. And if that’s not enough to convince you, the insurance savings can make the choice even more worth it.
