Each year thousands of people die due to the lack of smoke detectors and functioning smoke detectors. To avoid this from happening to you, we recommend that you check or test your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors when you change the clocks. It actually takes little effort to do this. If you do not have any, many fire departments offer them free or at a discounted price. Today, when a house is purchased in Georgia, it is now required for a home to have one in each bedroom. There are also some financial savings that can be realized by installing them from your insurance provider.
We at Rottweiler Security offer reduced savings when purchasing a smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector. If you are a member of BACR, or the business you are employed at is, Rottweiler Security will save you an additional 40 % off of either device. It is just another way for us to say thank you and help you survive if you should encounter a fire in your home.
You will also want to make sure that a carbon monoxide detector is located near any device that burns natural gas. The reason for this usually speaks for itself, but carbon monoxide gas is a byproduct of a combustible fuel. It is also tasteless and odorless. So if you think that somehow you will know that you are capable of detecting noxious fumes with your nose, think again. Each year many succumb to the fumes without ever know that there was a problem and it could have been avoided by having a detector located near the furnace.
An office building is not necessarily exempt from this issue. Many furnaces are installed within the suite and if you walk into the office from a cold night without ventilation you may be walking into something that could threaten your life or could be a death trap. Monitoring for dectectors usually does not cost any extra.
We at Rottweiler are very serious is protecting the lives of our clients and I hope that this information was found helpful in determining a few steps that may save your life. So when the clock changes, check your detectors so that you know they are working properly.
