And how much would you save?

It varies. Ours is $320/year.

Whether it's worth it depends on factors unknown to us. Like what you
have of value, how difficult it would be to replace, whether your
insurance is adequate and you would be OK with $$$ instead of some of
your items, etc.

Also, you should check with your insurance company. Many offer
discounts for homes that have monitored alarms. That can offset the
cost of the service.

Also, there are cheaper monitoring services available which you can
find with a search.
