Most homeowners invest in a home security system to protect their families and property. While preventing break-ins is one of the biggest benefits, a professionally installed smart home security system can also help reduce everyday costs, prevent expensive damage, and even lower insurance premiums.
At Laswell, we help homeowners throughout Louisville, Southern Indiana, and the Kentuckiana area protect what matters most with custom smart security solutions designed around their homes and lifestyles.
If you’re considering a security system, here are eight ways it can help save you money while giving you greater peace of mind.
1. Prevent Costly Break-Ins
A burglary can cost thousands of dollars in stolen belongings, damaged doors or windows, and home repairs. Beyond the financial loss, homeowners often experience significant stress and disruption after a break-in.
Visible security cameras, video doorbells, alarm systems, and professionally monitored security systems discourage criminals from targeting your home. Studies have shown that homes with visible security systems are less attractive to potential burglars.
A professionally installed security system helps protect your investment while giving your family confidence that your home is being monitored around the clock.
2. Qualify for Homeowners Insurance Discounts
Many homeowners don’t realize their security system may help reduce their insurance premiums.
Insurance providers often offer discounts for homes equipped with professionally monitored security systems because they reduce the likelihood of theft and property damage. While savings vary by insurance company, it’s worth contacting your provider to see what discounts are available.
Over time, these savings can help offset the cost of your security investment.
3. Reduce Your Energy Bills with Smart Home Automation
Modern security systems do much more than monitor your home, they also provide powerful smart home automation features.
Using a mobile app, you can:
- Adjust your thermostat remotely
- Schedule indoor and outdoor lighting
- Turn lights off automatically
- Control smart plugs and appliances
- Receive alerts if doors are left open
These automation features help reduce unnecessary energy consumption while making your home more convenient and efficient.
4. Prevent Expensive Water Damage
Water damage is one of the most common and expensive homeowner insurance claims.
Smart water leak sensors can detect moisture around areas such as:
- Water heaters
- Washing machines
- Sinks
- Sump pumps
- Utility rooms
Instead of discovering a leak after significant damage has occurred, you’ll receive an immediate notification so you can address the problem before it becomes costly.
5. Protect Deliveries from Porch Pirates
With more online shopping than ever before, package theft continues to be a growing concern.
A smart video doorbell allows you to:
- View live video from your front door
- Receive instant motion notifications
- Speak with visitors remotely
- Record package deliveries
- Review video footage if a package disappears
Whether you’re at work or traveling, you’ll always know who’s at your door.
6. Reduce False Alarms
Today’s smart security systems give homeowners complete control from virtually anywhere.
Using the Laswell mobile app, you can:
- Arm or disarm your system remotely
- Verify alerts before emergency dispatch
- Check live security cameras
- Receive instant notifications
- Manage user access
These features help reduce false alarms while ensuring you stay connected to your home at all times.
7. Increase Your Home’s Value
Smart home technology continues to be one of the most desirable features for today’s homebuyers.
Features like:
- Smart locks
- Security cameras
- Video doorbells
- Smart lighting
- Home automation
- Smart thermostats
can improve convenience while making your home more attractive to future buyers.
8. Protect Your Family 24/7
