There are an estimated 18 million home security systems currently installed in the US. Despite the volume of systems that are continuing to be sold throughout the country, there are still some common myths surrounding the home security industry. Here are just a few of the myths about home security.

1. Myth: Home security is too expensive.

This is probably the most common myth about home security. The truth is, you don’t need to empty your savings account to secure your home. There are plenty of different financing options available, and you can definitely find a plan that fits your needs and is within your budget. In addition, many insurance companies will actually offer a discount on insurance rates if you have a security system installed in your home. This is important to keep in mind when considering cost.

2. Myth: I have home insurance/live in a safe area; I don’t need a security system.

Even if you do have home insurance, or if you claim to live in a “safe area”, anything can happen when it comes to home security, and you should never feel as though your home is completely protected without a security system. Home insurance claims are notorious for being difficult and time consuming. Take the safe route and get quotes from security companies.

3. Myth: Even if the alarm does go off, the police won’t arrive in time.

This is an understandable concern, but it’s misinformed. First, the majority of security systems will dispatch the police to your location as soon as the alarm is triggered. Also, the fact that you have a security system installed in the first place will deter burglars from wanting to enter at all. The benefits of the system are twofold.

4. Myth: My pets will set off false alarms. 

This is another concern that is understandable, but the fact is, it’s easy to find a security company that offers a system designed by a professional to work around your pets while keeping your home as secure as possible. If a security company doesn’t offer any pet-friendly systems, chances are they’re not a reliable or professional company, or their equipment is inadequate.

Ultimately, being aware of these common myths is the best way to make an informed decision about your home security needs. For more information about the benefits of having a security systems, contact BSG at 855-mysmarthome today!
