Burglar alarms can be very effective in preventing theft. However, the research company YouGov carried out a survey this month which revealed that only 32% of the British adults asked, had a burglar alarm in their home. Worse still, only 49% of those that had a burglar alarm, regularly set the alarm when they left their properties unattended. This suggests a large number of British households are leaving themselves open to intruders.
Why is setting a burglar alarm so important?
- It can protect your valuables
- It can act as a deterrent to burglars
- It can catch burglars and help with conviction, particularly when using CCTV
- It can give you peace of mind when you are away
- A working alarm system can lower your household insurance by up to 20%
- Failure to set your alarm can potentially leave you without insurance cover
What are the reasons for not setting burglar alarms?
- Having no alarm in the first place
- Forgetting to switch the alarm on when leaving the house
- Worrying that the alarm will go off when there are no intruders, thus upsetting the neighbours
- Finding the setting of the alarm too complicated
- Not having regular alarm servicing, resulting in faulty alarm systems
- Pets in the home
