At Birmingham Security Company we know that installing a home security system can be costly, but we also know that not installing one can cost even more.

What follows is a list of reasons for protecting your home with a security system.

1. Discourages Burglars: according to statistics compiled by Simon Hakim and Erwin Blackstone, homes without security systems are 2.7 times more likely to experience burglaries.
2. Provides Fire Warning: monitored home alarm systems not only warn home occupants of the presence of smoke, they also warn of sources of heat and contact authorities.  Heat detectors can be purchased without the installation of a home security system, but using a heat detector alone will not signal authorities.
3. Protects Against Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: carbon monoxide poisoning is caused by a colorless and odorless gas found in combustion fumes.  It is important to have carbon monoxide detectors as this gas is undetectable by the human senses.  Carbon monoxide leaks can be detected via stand-alone carbon monoxide detectors or installed as part of a home security system.  A benefit of installing these devices as part of a home security system is that the system provides emergency service dispatch.
4. Save on Homeowner’s Insurance:  Homeowners insurance is a mandatory part of becoming a homeowner if the home is mortgaged. The cost of this type of insurance coverage varies on location, coverage, payment plans, insurance company, type of house and a few other factors.  In general, homeowners receive a 10-20% discount on their insurance by having a functioning home alarm system installed.
5. Improves Electricity Management:  Many security systems offer smart home access that allows you to turn down your thermostat remotely and access lights in the home remotely as well.
   The most important factor of course, is you and your family gain a sense of peace and security knowing that your home is protected.
