approved burglar alarm systems.
Installing
an approved burglar alarm, upgrading home components like plumbing and electrical wiring, using weather and dent resistant materials on your home's exterior, installing smoke detectors, sprinklers, and other fire - safety equipment, and even raising your credit score can all lower your homeowners insurance premiums.
Premium discounts on your home insurance quote are also available for having
an approved Burglar Alarm or being an existing AIG Car Insurance customer.
