Are Your Pets Safe?

Have you ever thought about what happens to your dog, cat, bird or fish if a fire breaks out while you are away?

Code requires that homeowners install smoke detectors in specific areas of the house. These detectors can be installed by you, your electrician or by an alarm company.

Security company smoke detectors are tied into the alarm panel and send a signal into the central monitoring station when smoke is detected. When a signal is received, the fire department is immediately dispatched. Read more on how monitored fire detectors may help save your pets.

Stop Freezing Pipes and Other Winter Disasters

Protect your home, vacation home, pool house or guest house from freezing pipes with a hi/low temperature sensor that easily installs into most existing security systems.

The environmental device monitors temperatures from -30 to +130° F and has adjustable high and low alarm set points. When the temperature reaches above or below the point you specify, the central monitoring station is contacted and you are immediately notified.

Insurance carriers are starting to offer additional discounts off of homeowner's insurance if a home is equipped with a monitored environmental sensor, such as water detectors and temperature sensors.

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.
