Fire & Carbon Monoxide Alarms
The Invisible Killer
Fire isn’t the only life safety threat, carbon monoxide detectors are gaining popularity among many homeowners, as more families are becoming aware of the immense dangers of this toxic element. The presence of carbon monoxide in the home is potentially deadly; and because of its odorless characteristic, most people are unaware of its presence even at high levels.
The decision to install a monitored fire alarm as a part of your security system is one of immeasurable significance, because seconds can be the difference between life and death. Each year fires claim thousands of lives and billions of dollars in property loss. Alarm-1 will ensure that your system is designed and installed to maximize the protection of your family and property. We employ the latest technology in fire/life safety detection to pinpoint the location of a fire, and can provide immediate response through our UL listed, FM approved Central monitoring station, in the event of an emergency, regardless of whether you’re home or away.
