Temperature Alarms

When temperatures run severely hot or cold, major discomfort can occur. High heating or cooling bills can be hazardous to your wallet. But much more hazardous to both your economic and literal well being is the damage that temperature extremes can cause to your plumbing system.

Home owners have reported loss due to damage caused by either frozen or broken water pipes as second in cost only to hurricane damage. With repair costs for burst pipes running into thousands, it stands to reason that a practical home or business owner will want to prevent such damage from occurring in the first place. Most such damage happens in less than several hours time from a pipe’s bursting.

Home Security Options for Fire Protection and Environmental Hazards

Home security systems are often considered as devices used to protect your home from intruders. But there are many other security systems vital for home protection from fire, or other environmental hazards such as carbon monoxide or radon.

One option you may wish to consider is an ionization fire detector. This type of system monitors changes in electric current that can occur due to particles ionized by combustion. It alters the air inside the detector to serve as a conductor of electrical currents. If smoke enters the detector and stops the current’s flow, the alarm will sound. Such a system works immediately and well in detecting smoke caused by a raging fire; it is slightly slower in detecting a low level, smoldering fire. Ionization fire detectors are usually powered by battery, and sound a low warning tone when batteries are running low.

How home alarms improve your life

When I first got involved in the home alarms business I had the naive idea that home alarms are something which makes noise when a door or window is forced open. Maybe that was the case a couple of decades ago but in the 21st century, home alarms are extremely advanced technological inventions which can improve your life in many ways.

The basic function of the home alarm is to scare off burglars. It has evolved and split into several functions over the years. First, if burglars break into an empty house, the owner can choose between a conventional alarm sound and a silent alarm. The silent alarm is meant to notify the authorities and give them enough time to reach your property without alerting the burglars. Continue reading How home alarms improve your life
