Save on Home Insurance

Alarms offer peace of mind and savings too

An alarm installed in your home not only safeguards your possessions and family, it can get you a discount on your home insurance.

According to the CMHC (Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation), burglaries make up 22% of all property crimes.  Even though a house alarm doesn’t replace solid doors, windows and locks, it can be an effective deterrent for criminals.  You should think about getting an alarm if:

1. You live in a quiet neighbourhood
2. You have valuable belongings in your home
3. You spend time away from the house for long periods of time
4. You want to take advantage of Westland's discount for house alarms

We all love finding a good bargain and getting the cheapest price.  But there are several key factors you should consider when buying house insurance which are far more important than price.

Make sure your main focus is on ensuring your home and family are adequately protected from the different risks that concern you most.  At Westland, we do our best to help save you money once you've chosen which coverage is right for you.  We recommend you:

Shop wisely – unlike other products we buy, the levels and types of coverage differ greatly between various insurers.  It’s these differences that should motivate you to make an informed decision:  asking comprehensive questions about coverage is a very important step before buying insurance.  What coverage do you want, what types of losses are you willing to assume?  Learn as much as you can about each insurance package before making your final decision.

Investigate higher deductibles – in most instances, you can save a considerable amount of money just by increasing your deductibles when buying insurance.  Make sure to ask your broker about deductible options and how it can save you money.

Ask about discounts – at Westland, we know that every one of our clients is unique.  That’s why we provide various discounts that take into account the diverse circumstances you might face.  Having an alarm installed or even just being 55 years of age or older:  take advantage of our numerous discounts while still getting the protection you need.
