A recently released InsuranceAgents.com article, “Maintaining Your Home Could Lower Your Home Insurance Rates,” seeks to show homeowners how proper up-keep of a home will help save them money on their premiums.

“You can lower your annual premiums by properly maintaining your home throughout the year,” the article states. “Take the safety and well-being of your home seriously.”

Here are some ways to protect homes from the most common sources of damage:

• Fire – Smoke detectors, multiple fire extinguishers, properly cleaning and maintaining the fireplace, etc. are all ways to protect against fire and find significant homeowners insurance discounts.

• Theft – Deadbolt locks, security systems, motion sensor lights will protect homes from burglary as well as lower home insurance rates. Taking this initiative shows insurers their client is a low risk and takes protecting their property seriously.

• Water – Leaky pipes can cause extensive water damage to homes. Check the heating and cooling systems regularly for any irregularities and patch them up as they come along.
