Why Monitored Smoke & CO Detectors Are Crucial in Alberta

Unity Smart Security

When the harsh Alberta winter sets in, windows are sealed shut and furnaces work overtime. While this keeps your home warm, it also traps air inside, making early detection of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) an absolute necessity.

The Danger of "Silent Alarms"

Standard smoke and CO detectors are excellent for waking you up if you are asleep in the home. However, what happens if a fire starts or a furnace malfunctions while you are away at work in Calgary, or out running errands? A standard alarm will sound in an empty house, offering zero protection for your pets or your property until a neighbor happens to notice smoke.

The Monitored Difference

By upgrading to monitored environmental sensors, an activated alarm does much more than make noise. It sends an instant signal to a monitoring station. If you cannot be reached or verify it is a false alarm, fire rescue services can be dispatched to your home immediately, whether you are in Airdrie, Cochrane, or halfway across the province.
