Smoke Alarm

One of the simplest ways to protect your family is with a smoke alarm. With a smoke alarm, you and your family will be twice as likely to escape a fire without bodily injury.

Fire-Safety and Alarm Effectiveness Concerns
Generally, people think that once they have installed a smoke alarm that their family is completely safe. This however, is not true. Many families have alarms which are positioned incorrectly or which do not function effectively. The following list of precautions will effectively protect your family against potential house fires.

1. Place at least one alarm on every floor of your home.

2. Make sure that the batteries in your alarm are still active. If you purchase a traditional alarm, change the batteries at least once a year. If you would prefer low-battery notification, ALARM ONE offers monitored smoke alarms for six dollars a month in conjunction with various home security packages. The ALARM ONE 24-hour monitoring station notifies its customers when their alarm batteries are low. In this way, ALARM ONE's clients are always sure that their alarms are doing what they were designed to do.

3. Make sure that your alarm is in a proper location. In general 'the proper location' will be on the ceiling in the middle of a room or hallway. However, if in doubt, contact a professional to install your alarm(s) correctly. ALARM ONE can install security systems and smoke alarms in a few short minutes.
