Properly Maintained Homes Beat Average Homeowners Insurance Costs

Being a responsible homeowner comes with a lot of advantages. An attractive looking home to the outside world, a safe and secure family, and low homeowners insurance quotes can all come from a properly maintained home, according to an article recently published on InsuranceAgents.com.

The article titled, ’Maintaining Your Home Could Lower Your Home Insurance Rates’ states: “You can lower your annual premiums by properly maintaining your home throughout the year. Take the safety and well-being of your home seriously.”

The article lists three main causes of damage and includes several important ways to prevent damage.

1. Fire can be prevented with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, a properly maintained fireplace, and not allowing smoking of any kind in the house.
2. Theft can be prevented with deadbolt locks on all doors leading outside, a premier security system, and motion sensor lighting on the perimeter of the house.
3. Water damage can be prevented with simple maintenance to leaky pipes and maintenance to the heating and cooling systems that run throughout the house.

Insurance companies look at the amount of risk a homeowner represents. Taking the safety of the home seriously is proving low risk in a big way. The result is low premiums on homeowners insurance as well as possible discounts and other possible savings.
