Cost vs. Savings (Alarm Systems)

A recent article in the Orlando Sentinel addresses the cost of installing a home security system versus the savings.  To arm your home with a security alarm system, the article suggests an expenditure of anywhere from $300 to $3,000. (Although advances in manufacturing and competition have dropped prices in recent years, new technology and added features keeps alarms from being cheap purchases.) In return, however, you can barter with your homeowners' insurance agent for a savings of 10%-20% on your homeowners insurance policy. And, of course, if a home security system keeps you from being robbed, the savings are priceless. The peace of mind alone is worth the cost for many.
