Homes are required by law to include smoke sensors, which notify those inside the home with a loud alarm when there is a fire. But what happens if you aren’t home? By the time your neighbors see smoke billowing from your home and dial 911, the structure may have been badly damaged and it is often too late to salvage the irreplaceable items inside, such as pictures, family heirlooms and pets that are left at home.
Monitored smoke sensors make the same loud alarm. However, this type of system also alerts your local monitoring center of the problem 24/7. From there, the monitoring center will call you and notify the proper authorities, giving them the best opportunity to save your home. Better yet, having a monitored smoke sensor does not increase the cost of your security system monitoring.
Another added bonus to owning a monitored smoke sensor is that your home insurance company may offer additional discounts for making the choice to have your home protected by these sensors. Adding automation services from WH Security will allow you to check your system from your smart device. Don’t have automation services, ask us how to add them today by calling 763.477.3664.
