Insurer urges home owners to check alarms




Friday 4th April 2008

Spring cleaning is an ideal opportunity to carry out checks on home security devices, according to a leading home insurance provider.

A study conducted by Legal & General found that 30 per cent of households now have a burglar alarm.

However, half of alarm owners admitted that they never checked whether the device was in good working order.

Elaine Parkes, head of technical services for Legal & General's general insurance business, urged homeowners who will be dusting the alarm off as part of their spring clean to check it is functioning correctly at the same time.

Ms Parkes added: "Customers are required to take reasonable steps to safeguard their property and contents against loss or damage as part of the terms of their household insurance cover.

"This includes ensuring that their property is maintained in a good condition. These simple checks should give customers confidence that their property is safe and secure and more importantly, covered by meeting the terms of their policy."
