Furnaces, Fireplaces and Alarms, Oh My!

Cooler weather in the midwest usually arrives mid September and by the time Halloween rolls around, many of us have switched on the heat during the evening and perhaps even started a fire in the fireplace. A greater risk of carbon monoxide poisoning can occur during the colder months because of the high usage of heating equipment.

Called “The Silent Killer,” Carbon monoxide poisoning can be confused with flu-like symptoms, food poisoning and other illnesses. Protect your loved ones with a carbon monoxide detector which can be connected into your security system and will alert the monitoring station when CO is detected.

Your monthly monitoring costs will not increase, and your insurance company may even take additional discounts off your homeowner’s insurance.
