Safety’s on Sale at SESCOS
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are small items that pay off big when it comes to home protection. And now you can take advantage of SESCOS special on detectors with smart sensors that will power up your home protection.
Are Your Smoke Detectors Working?
You already know that it’s important to have a working smoke detector in your house, but here’s a timely reminder of the season of candles, holiday lights and dry pine needles.
- Most fire-related deaths happen in houses without smoke detectors.
- You cut your risk of dying in a home fire in half if you have a smoke alarm.
- Many fire losses occur in homes where the alarm didn’t work or had a dead battery.
Keep it Working
A smoke alarm won’t do you any good if it’s not working or the battery is dead. The National Fire Protection Association recommends the following maintenance tips:
- Test the alarm once a month.
- Replace the batteries as soon as they start to weaken and “beep.”
- Get a new smoke detector every 5 to 10 years.
If your smoke detectors are getting long in the tooth, check out SESCOS special on sales, service, and installation, and don’t miss our “twofer” special if you include a carbon monoxide detector!
Why Do You Need Carbon Monoxide Detectors?
Called the “silent killer,” carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and tasteless. You can’t hear it seeping into the air, and you can’t smell it or see it. But exposure to it is deadly. Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath and other problems, and in large doses, it can kill. You might be at risk for carbon monoxide leaks if you use:
- oil-burning appliances including furnaces and space heaters
- gas ovens or gas-powered clothes dryers
- propane or natural gas appliances
- fuel or diesel generators
- gas-powered tools or vehicles that you run while the garage is closed
Don’t let smoke, fire or carbon monoxide put a grim end to your family’s safety. Get detectors, make sure they’re working and get peace of mind.
Get Smart with Smart Sensors
Today’s detectors have taken safety up a notch. Now you can buy smart sensors that do more than just sound an alarm.
- Smart sensors send a notification to your smartphone when the smoke or carbon monoxide detector starts beeping.
- You can program the alert to be loud and attention-getting to make sure you hear it if your phone is in a pocket or purse.
- Protect your home, family, and pets even when you’re away.
- Get a heads-up on your phone or laptop when the detector battery is running low.
- Some sensors will give you severe-weather warnings, emergency notifications, and other alerts.
