Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Threat is Real

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, invisible gas that comes from fuels, such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil and methane, that burn incompletely. You can't see it or smell it, and it's symptoms are most often confused with the flu, food poisoning and other illnesses.

Just recently a family in Kansas City barely survived CO poisoning. The threat is real and can be prevented by investing in a CO Detector that is linked to your alarm system. When the deadly gas is detected in your home, your monitoring station will be notified* and you or the proper authorities will be contacted.  Your monthly monitoring from Atronic Alarms will not increase and you will be investing in the safety of your family and your pets with a CO device.
"CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards. For the best protection, interconnect all CO alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound."
