Even though you may keep the electrical and boiler systems in your house well-maintained, any failure on their part can be dangerous for your family. Fires can be sparked, gas boilers can give off carbon monoxide, and radon gas can be present in your house. To protect yourself and your family, you should have these alarms in your home.
Carbon Monoxide Detector
If you have a gas boiler and it is faulty or fails, carbon monoxide gas can escape from it. This odourless, tasteless gas is hard to detect and, if too much of it builds up in your house, it can easily kill you or your family. Fortunately, a carbon monoxide detector can sound a warning so you can get everyone out of the house and call someone to inspect your house.
Radon Detector
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from broken-down uranium inside the Earth. It can leak into your house through holes or cracks in its foundation. Fortunately, a radon detector can warn you about the presence of this gas.
Smoke Alarms
A smoke alarm should be in every home to can detect smoke from fires caused by faulty electrical wiring, sparks given off from a wood-burning fireplace, a smoker’s cigarette that starts a fire, or a fire from the stove. You can buy smoke alarms from a fire alarm company in Bristol.
Place smoke detectors on every level of your house to detect fire smoke and give you time to get everyone out of the house safely.
