Smart home tech can increase the value of your home.? (iStock)
Installing smart home devices is an easy way to protect your property from significant damage, save on home insurance and modernize your home. Most insurance agents recommend devices like smoke, carbon monoxide or water sensors to offer enhanced peace of mind, protect homeowners and offer savings. Protecting a property from potentially extensive damage means homeowners are less likely to file a claim, which may result in lower insurance premiums.
Smart home technology can also increase a home's value, as appraisers factor smart home systems into appraisals, and homes with intelligent technology may sell faster and command higher prices.
Here are 10 smart home devices you should consider installing:
