By Adunaiy Donaul


There are a number of ways to pay less on your policy. But while some of them might save you some money, they could leave you with insufficient coverage. However, in this article, I'll show you several time-tested ways of paying less and at the same time have adequate coverage. Here they are...

Dead-bolt locks on all your exterior doors will help you get a lower rate. It's more difficult for burglars to operate in homes that have these locks. And as you know, the less the risk of burglary in a home, the lower premiums it will attract.

Do you have locks on each of your windows? If you do NOT you will be spending more because of that. You can take this to another level by fixing burglary-proof bars on them all. If you are not one of those people who claim that having such makes them feel imprisoned in their own house, have them fitted if you intend to reduce your home insurance premiums considerably.

Install special fire and security gadgets that alert fire stations, police stations or other monitoring center. Apart from the peace of mind you'll have in knowing your home is under constant surveillance by committed professionals, you will enjoy lower home insurance premiums. This can bring down your rate by more than 25% depending on your insurer.

Do you have smoke and fire detectors installed? Install the right numbers of smoke and fire detectors for your size and kind of house if you intend to use this to get more affordable rates.

The reason for this deduction in your premiums is that such detectors make it a lot easier for fires to be spotted before they can do any damage. This gets you a lower rate because it means that the risk of a fire damage is reduced.

Do you have a fire extinguisher or fire extinguishers in your house (depending on the number of fire sources presently in your home)? Your kitchen is one important place to have one or more functional fire extinguishers. You must also make sure it's the best for your kind and size of kitchen.

Ensure they are within easy reach and ensure they are in good working condition. This will help lower your home insurance premium.
