In spite of recent reports claiming that every minute, seven homes are ransacked by thieves, a recent survey shows that most homes throughout the UK have yet to install a proper security alarm system.
Most homeowners are (understandably) preoccupied with the work that must be done to pay their monthly bills and the upkeep involved for their properties, that they tend to neglect the incredibly important aspects of its safety.
Most homes in the UK either don’t have a single formal security system or are still depending on what they first bought years ago.
Whilst you can’t deny that installing a home security system can be costly, it is an investment that won’t only keep burglars away but also give you a sense of confidence whenever you leave your home.
If you’re still on the fence about installing an alarm system for your home, we’ve compiled some of the strongest reasons why you need one, and now.

2. It saves you from alternative hazards
Having an alarm system set up is something that doesn’t only deter and protect against human intruders. Some multi-purpose security devices also function as smoke, carbon monoxide detectors etc.
This means that you’ll be able to track if any of your smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors are malfunctioning and need to be checked.
Another added benefit is that most of these alarms are connected to local safety channels so, in the unfortunate event that they do go off, emergency responders will be immediately dispatched to put out the flames.
Or aid your family in the event of a carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is undetectable by human senses and it is known to be a slow, silent killer.
