I've just got off the phone with my insurance company and found out a way to save a bit of money every year off my home and contents insurance and had to pass it on!
As the 'customer service representative' ran through the standard questions to assess how much my yearly home insurance premium should be, she asked me, "Do you have a home alarm system?"
I explained to her our situation and that we were looking into the best way to secure our home and she informed me that all insurance companies will give lower premiums to those with home alarm systems.
The more preventative measures you've taken to protect your home from theft, the cheaper your home insurance will be. So, it turns out getting our house fully installed with a wireless alarm systems and new locks are more affordable than I thought!
If you've recently put in a home security system and haven't called your insurance company - do so today! You could seriously be paying less money every year.
