The Benefits Interconnected Smoke Alarms Offer You

Homeowners constantly search for home safety and security gadgets to keep their families safe. Introducing interlinked smoke alarms, the newest generation of home fire safety and protection. The benefits of these new smoke alarms outweigh the old school hard-wired or their brethren, the stick -on smoke alarms. Interconnected alarms come in hard-wired or stick-on, and their benefits to the homeowner are many.

Safety In Any Room In The House

A fire could begin in the kitchen, while you’re cleaning upstairs. Interlinked smoke alarms around the house pick up the alarm. You’ll hear an alarm screaming at 85 decibels, no matter where you are. This gives you time to get whomever else is in the house and get out.

Combo Interlinked Smoke Alarms

Back in the day, homeowners had to buy a carbon monoxide alarm in addition to a smoke alarm. When one went off, the homeowner knew there was a problem, but not which problem. With interconnected alarms, each room will be able to tell what the problem is plus knowing it’s time to leave.

You’ll Know Faster

Interconnected alarms are better organized than their last generation cousins. When one senses smoke or carbon monoxide and sounds, then each room containing an interconnected smoke alarm will go off in turn. The family will know if it’s smoke or carbon monoxide. That wasn’t possible with old-fashioned alarms-homeowners didn’t even know which alarm was sounding.

It’s Wireless

Formerly, smoke alarms were hard-wired or had batteries that died after a couple years. Interconnected alarms are wireless, usually coming with ten-year batteries. They exchange information over radio frequencies. In older homes, the alarms can be retrofitted to bring the home up to code.
