Life Safety Products

More and more we hear tragic stories on the news.  Family of four dies from carbon monoxide poisoning, elderly man freezes to death in home.  Sometimes the stories aren't quite as tragic.  We may all hear of a neighbor or a friend who has a pipe burst and suffers serious property damage.  The thing that makes the human suffering all the more tragic and the property damage all the more frustrating is that all of these are avoidable.  And you don't have to pay through the nose to get protection for these things.  So, in the interest of informing you, here are a few products that are life safety specific and will help you protect your loved ones and your home.

Honeywell Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detector:  This great product costs $107.00.  It uses advanced sensor technology to provide quick and accurate detection of carbon monoxide.  It doesn't plug into the wall, which means that you can place it at the best possible height (above the light switch but at least 12 inches below the ceiling).

Freeze Alarm:  This freeze alarm costs $195.00.  It monitors your temperature and can be programmed to dial up to three telephone numbers if the temperature gets too cold, too hot or if power goes out.  This allows you to immediately address the situation before it gets out of hand, saving you tons of money in the long run.  More importantly, its great for an elderly relative.  Install the freeze alarm in their home and have the number call you if something happens.  It can mean the difference between life and death.

Skylink Water Alert Sensor:  Cost is $37.99.  The water sensor will alert you when water is present but before flooding is underway.  Water damage is ugly and expensive.  This will allow you to prevent that.

Whatever the application, its important for you to be informed about life safety products, especially at this time of year, when so many of these accidents happen.  Be sure to take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your family.
