Home Security Systems and Why You Need Protection

The most common question I receive as a customer service representative here at SimpliSafe is 'Why do we need home security systems?' There are many reasons WHY everyone needs to secure their homes and families, ranging from insurance discounts to troubled neighboorhood, but the main reason is peace of mind.

Your safety, and the safety of your home and family, is worth fifty cents a day. Your peace of mind, and the peace of mind of your family, is worth fifty cents a day.

Home security systems have come a long way since their inception, and we, as consumers, can now reap the benefits. Insurance underwriters, actuaries, have done the math. It pays to keep your home secure. Your insurance agent will discount your home insurance policy by as much as 20% for having a system installed. There are no people better qualified than actuaries to tell you the percentages; your home is always more secure with a monitored security system.

Don't just take it from me, or the insurance companies, take it from your local police. Ask them the benefits of installing home security, and they'll tell you. Here at SimpliSafe I have the priviledge of supporting our customers and talking with the police officers that respond to burglaries and panic situations every day.

In addition to your home and loved ones, your property itself is secured when a home security system is installed. A recent burglary at a home rehabber customer of ours lends insight into the lengths criminals will go to rob you. The burglar was arrested attempting to disable the system and rob copper from the vacancy.
