When it comes to feeling safe and secure, you, like many other people, most probably feel safest in your own home. This is usually because of the familiarity of the surroundings, and the security measures you might have in place. But an unfortunate truth is that, as people relax and unwind at home after a long day, they let their guards down. This could make them very vulnerable to a home invasion.

Consider your own house – how often do you take risks with your family’s safety? Forgetting to lock the deadbolt behind you, leaving a window open, answering the door without checking the peephole – these could all lead to your residence being invaded by a group of crooks and your family being placed in a life-threatening situation. Home invasions typically include more than just theft. Criminals who break into occupied homes often have the desire to cause pain and destruction.

It’s much better to lower the risk of a home invasion by making security a priority, but if the worst does happen, insurance might be your best friend. The compensation offered by your provider might mean you can repair any damage and replace lost possession. While a theft claim might cause slight rise in your premium, installing security measures such as an alarm to prevent future breaks-ins might offer savings to balance that out. Is your current insurance adequate? One of our agents can help you to locate any vulnerability in your current policy, and create a new one that truly covers your home.
