Do some insurance companies offer a discount on homeowners insurance for homes with a monitored security system?
You could get up to a 20% discount for having a monitored security system in your home. Insurance companies know that you are 2 to 3 times less likely to be burglarized by having a home alarm system in your home1. This means they are less likely to have to pay large insurance claims on stolen property and they could be willing to give significant discounts to their customers that get monitored security alarms in their homes. The level of discount depends on the coverage of the alarm system and the area you live in; for more information, contact your insurance company. 1.
