As a homeowner I carry a decent amount of insurance coverage. I do believe it is very helpful in catastrophic events and emergencies. That’s what it is there for.
It is a common scenario to be conscious of spending and therefore you opt for a higher deductible in exchange for lower annual insurance rates. Understandable in today’s economy.
Imagine coming home after a long day of work, youth sports, errands and grocery shopping. You unload your van and get your kids in the house to clean up before dinner. Pretty routine day, except this time, you forget to close your garage door. The next morning when you finally notice, you also know that your husband’s $1500 Mountain Bike is gone!
Immediately you start searching for other missing items. You notice that your traveling luggage and expensive Milwaukee drill sets are also gone.
Now the anxiety and the feeling of being violated and vulnerable begins to set. Now you must file a police report for your insurance claim.
Dealing with the insurance company makes you feel awkward. Some of their questions make you feel like you were the thief.
Now a claim gets filed and a check is made out to you for $2375.00. But minus the deductible of $2000.00 you end up with only $375.00. Not nearly enough to cover the loss, and to make matters worse, next year’s rates will increase.
But what are you going to do now, can’t fight the insurance company. I knew what I signed up for in advance.
So now we begin to go into prevention mode so situations like this don’t happen again.
What could I have done and what can I do to prevent this? Remembering to close the Garage Door is easier said than done.
Now you look for other options: Garage Door Monitors ,Garage Door Sensors, Garage Door position indicators, Garage Door open reminders and Garage Door security. You found several and decided to buy one.
Setting it up was a bit complicated but you finally got it done. It now alerts your phone when the door is opened and you can even close your garage door from your phone.
But after using the device for a few weeks, you realize you get a lot of unnecessary alerts. For example, being notified when you pull into your garage is pointless. You’re going for simplicity and convenience. You just want to be alerted when it’s open.
