Will a Home Security System Lower My Home Insurance Premium?

A home insurance company wants to know that you’re doing everything you possibly can to take care of your property, which is why many will offer some type of discount according to the level of protection you have for your home. Each insurance carrier has their own ideas about how much of a discount each client should be given and why. However, if you live in Plano, TX, Paragon Independent Insurance Agency can give you the basics if you’re looking for a way to control how much you pay every month. 

Intruder Alarm Systems

When it comes to burglaries, some homes are statistically more likely to be broken into than others. And yet, it’s always a good idea for people to have some degree of security on their property system. Some people take their own precautions, like installing motion sensor lights in the darker corners of their backyard. A home insurance company will want to see that you’ve taken a strong interest in keeping your property safe, so it may make sense to spring for a wired alarm system connected to a private security company (who doesn’t have to compete with the police if something does go wrong). 

Disaster Sensors 

Smart smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, water sensors: there are plenty of devices a homeowner can purchase for a home in Plano, TX that will help them prevent serious damage in the case of a disaster. This technology can alert a homeowner immediately of danger on their smartphone or tablet, making it more likely help will arrive in time. If you want to learn how to make your home safer and potentially bring down your premium, call Paragon Independent Insurance Agency today. We’ll give you all the facts if you’re in the market for a security system.

Commercial Insurance: What it will and won’t cover

A commercial insurance plan is generally going to cover your Plano, TX business on three fronts: Property, liability and workers’ compensation.

Liability is the big one. A business, even a small business, is at special risk for litigation resulting from injuries and damages sustained on the business’s property, or sustained in relation to a business’s product or service. The cost of a lawsuit can sink a thriving business, so liability is going to be the backbone of your insurance plan.

Property insurance works like your homeowners policy: If your property suffers damage resulting from natural disaster, break-in, vandalism and etcetera, property insurance will cover it. Like your homeowners policy, it might not cover flooding, so you’ll want to read your plan over thoroughly to make sure that you know what is and isn’t covered on your basic property policy.

Workers’ compensation will keep your employees covered in the event of injury or circumstance leaving them unable to show up for work. It is not a legal requirement in Plano, TX, but can be a tie-breaker between two employers if you’re trying to recruit the best people for your company. Property and liability provide you with peace of mind, workers’ compensation provides your employees with peace of mind.

Anything you don’t see covered above, a basic commercial plan probably isn’t going to cover. This should be enough for most companies, but different industries have different insurance needs, so you may want to consider buying additional insurance to supplement your commercial plan and ensure complete coverage.

If you’re still shopping around for a great plan, or you want to see if someone can outdo your current provider, get in touch with Paragon Independent Insurance Agency and let’s see what we can do for you.
