4 Key Benefits of a Home Security System

Home security systems are no longer considered a luxury, but could be a smart investment for your home, wallet and the environment. Today’s innovative and intelligent monitoring systems like ADT do more than just help deter potential intruders and burglars — but their smart home automation features could help people maintain a more sustainable and green lifestyle.

Additionally, home security systems may help you save money on your homeowner's insurance and energy bills, while also potentially increasing your property's value.

If you're wondering if installing a security system in your home is worth it, here are four key advantages to consider.

1. Potential discounts on homeowner's insurance?

Many insurance companies offer discounts on homeowner’s insurance.¹ This is because homes equipped with security systems are less likely to experience break-ins than homes without security systems, reducing the likelihood of claims.

2. Get protection from the unpredictable

Environmental hazards such as floods and wildfires are no longer confined to specific regions but threaten homes across all 50 states. With up to $20 billion lost annually due to home water damage, a smart home system could be a crucial defense mechanism that may help preserve both your home's integrity and your financial well-being.

The best smart security systems like ADT come equipped with advanced sensors that detect Flood, Smoke, Carbon Monoxide, and other environmental threats so you can be one step ahead of environmental hazards. What’s more, ADT security systems feature intelligent products such as Google’s Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams that capture your doorstep in crystal clear resolution, and alert you of any activity outside your home.

3. Save energy and potentially pay less for utility bills

Perhaps one of the most compelling advantages of an ADT home security system is its ability to help you potentially save on energy costs by providing you with the tools to manage and optimize your home's energy usage.

ADT offers smart home products and features 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 may help reduce your monthly utility bills, and also contribute to a more sustainable planet.

4. Boost the resale value of your home

An ADT smart security system not only potentially makes your property more attractive to prospective buyers and renters but could also increase its market value. A report from the National Association of Home Builders revealed 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. This may suggest that installing a home security system is not just an investment in your family’s safety, but also in your home's marketability.
