If you’re a do-it-yourselfer—or even if you’re not—making safety improvements to your home can pay off with insurance discounts. So, in addition to feeling more secure about the health and safety of your family and your home, you’ll save money at the same time.

Here’s a list of improvements that can qualify you for discounts on your homeowners insurance and other policies:

• Dead-bolt locks

• Burglar alarm

• Smoke detectors

• Sprinkler system

• Fire/burglar alarm that alerts police, fire, or monitoring stations

• Updated heating system

• Updated electrical system

• Updated plumbing

• Storm shutters

• Shatter-proof glass

• Stronger doors

• Stronger roofing materials

It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance agent before you begin, so you can discuss details and possible discounts. To learn more, contact your Farm Bureau Insurance Agent today.
