Typical home insurance discount for installing a certified alarm
The best security is the kind you have before you need it.
A professionally installed alarm system is one of the single most effective deterrents against burglary. Visible security significantly reduces the likelihood your home will be targeted.
Beyond protection, a certified system can reduce your home insurance premium and give you complete peace of mind whether you are at home, at work or away on holiday.
Most burglaries happen in minutes
The average break-in takes under 90 seconds. A visible alarm system is one of the most effective deterrents available. Properties without visible security are three times more likely to be targeted.
Smart security reduces your insurance premium
Many UK home insurers offer a discount of 10 to 15% for homes with NSI or SSAIB-certified alarm systems. A quality system can pay for itself through lower premiums over time.
Peace of mind when you are away
Whether you are at work, on the school run or on holiday, a professionally monitored alarm system means trained operators are watching your home around the clock.

Your questions answered
What are the best home security systems in the UK?+
The best system depends on your property type, budget and lifestyle. Options range from wireless self-monitored alarms controlled via a smartphone app to professional Grade 2 or Grade 3 systems installed by NSI or SSAIB-certified engineers with 24/7 monitoring centre backup. For families, a monitored system with door and window sensors, motion detectors, CCTV and a panic button offers comprehensive protection.
What is NSI and SSAIB certification?+
NSI (National Security Inspectorate) and SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board) are the two main independent accreditation bodies for the UK security industry. Installers certified by either organisation must meet strict standards for installation quality, equipment, maintenance and insurance. Many UK home insurers require NSI or SSAIB-certified systems to qualify for alarm discounts.
Do I need a monitored alarm system?+
A monitored system connects your alarm to a 24/7 response centre. If the alarm triggers, trained operators attempt to contact a key holder and can dispatch police or a response guard if necessary. Monitored systems typically provide a faster, more reliable response than an audible-only alarm, which may not be heard or acted upon quickly. They also tend to qualify for greater home insurance discounts.
What smart home security options are available?+
Modern security systems increasingly integrate with smart home platforms, allowing you to arm and disarm your alarm, view CCTV footage, receive instant push notifications and trigger automated responses all from your smartphone. Video doorbells, smart locks, indoor cameras and outdoor motion-activated lights can all be connected into a single app-controlled system.
Will a home alarm reduce my insurance premium?+
Yes, in many cases. Most major UK home insurers offer a discount of between 5% and 15% for homes with a professionally installed and maintained alarm system, particularly one certified by NSI or SSAIB. Some insurers may also require a monitored system for properties with a high declared value. Your installer will provide the documentation your insurer needs.
How much does a home alarm system cost to install?+
Entry-level systems with a control panel, a few sensors and an external siren typically cost £500 to £1,000 installed. A mid-range system covering multiple zones with remote access and optional monitoring starts at around £1,000 to £2,500. CCTV, smart cameras and premium Grade 3 systems can cost more. A certified installer will provide a written quote after surveying your home.
