4 Surprising Benefits of a Home Security System
A good home security system does more than just keep you safe. Today’s smart monitoring systems, like ADT, can also help you slash your utility bills, boost your resale value and much more.
If you’re on the fence about whether installing a security system in your home is worth it, here are four little-known advantages worth considering.
1. Potential discounts on homeowner's insurance
The cost of home insurance is rapidly rising. Luckily, many insurance companies offer discounts¹ to homeowners with well-equipped security systems, since they’re less likely to experience break-ins — and, as a result, less likely to file insurance claims — than homeowners without security systems.
2. Protection from the unpredictable
Environmental hazards such as floods and wildfires threaten homes throughout the country, with billions of dollars lost annually due to residential water damage alone.
The best smart security systems, like ADT, have advanced sensors designed to detect floods, smoke, carbon monoxide and other environmental threats so you can stay one step ahead of them. Another bonus? ADT offers customized packages with devices like Google's Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams, providing crystal-clear resolution of your doorstep and promptly notifying you of any outdoor activity — environmental or otherwise.
3. Energy savings
ADT offers smart home products that seamlessly integrate with your home's lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. By automating and remotely managing these essential functions, ADT systems adapt to real-time conditions and personal schedules, optimizing your home’s energy consumption. This can help reduce your monthly utility bills, as well as your carbon footprint.
4. Added resale value
An ADT security system can not only make your home more appealing to buyers, it can also increase its market value. A report from the National Association of Home Builders found that 50% of homebuyers who participated in their study prioritize having a security system in their new homes. Additionally, 65% of these buyers are willing to pay extra for homes that are equipped with smart technology.
