5 Tips for Reducing False Alarms

#1. Clean out your smoke detectors. Winter spiders, cobwebs and dust can falsely set off your smoke detectors. Put your panel on test and “blow” out the dust with a can of air.


#2. Make sure plants are not in range of any motion detectors when your vents kick on. Also, floating balloons, fans or electric heaters may activate your motion detectors.


#3. Make sure your family understands how to use the system and if needed, how to cancel false alarms. Contact us for additional training if needed.


#4. Secure all windows and doors BEFORE turning on the security system.


#5. Keep your panel in shape with a yearly tune-up. Each device will be tested and cleaned to keep your system in top shape, reduce the possibility of false alarms and help ensure it will work properly when called upon.
