In Canada, a residential break-in occurs every 90 seconds. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter what neighbourhood you live in, or how safe you may think you are. Without a security system, you are putting your family and your valuables at risk. Here are some reasons why having a home security system is crucial:
- Helps deter burglars – Criminals are deterred right away when they see a home has a security system. Homes that display alarm company stickers/decals in their windows and placards on their lawns are less likely to be broken into. With Alpha Integrated, we provide window decals for you to display wherever you see fit. Although there is still a chance of a break-in, as soon as an alarm is triggered, the burglar will get scared and flee the scene.
- Protects your home while you are away – It is easy to assume that break-ins most often happen at night, when in reality more than 80% of break-ins in this country happen during the day. This is a key time as burglars know that you are away at work, and your kids are in school which means an empty house and a window of opportunity. Studies show that most of these daytime crimes happen between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm but with Alpha Integrated, you can put your mind at ease while you are away from your home.
- Reduces your premiums – Most insurance companies offer lower premiums for people who have home security systems on their property. Insurance companies like to see that you are taking the necessary steps to keep your belongings and home safe and will reward you for it with lower premiums.
