Most often when people think of having a monitoring device in their homes, they think of a fire alarm. After all, fires can start very quietly and yet grow very rapidly, meaning that the window of time to get out of the house safely can be short. The bright minds at SMART TECH SECURITY have perfected the technology capable of sensing a fire at the very first hint of smoke, alerting the monitoring center, the fire department if necessary, and you (if you are home) to wake up and evacuate the premises. For many homeowners, these alerts are the only reason their home exists today – and for many others, these alerts are the only reason they exist today.
Since Smart Tech is based here in the Coachella Valley like you, we understand that many homes are only used as a residence for part of the year – and the last thing you want is to allow a fire to rage through your unoccupied home until nothing stands. With something as quick, dangerous, and all-consuming as fire, nothing but the best monitoring system should be considered.
Today, most fire alarms have the added capability of detecting carbon monoxide in the home. This gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it extremely stealthy. It is highly unlikely you would notice its presence in your home without a detector, unlike a fire that would eventually raise you from slumber with heat and smoke. Carbon monoxide is lethal, and yet totally invisible to human senses. That’s what makes having a reliable fire and carbon monoxide detector so important.
