Interlinked smoke alarms are an updated way to keep your home safe. If your home has many levels, having your smoke alarms linked is a wise choice. The interlinking ensures that if a smoke detector detects smoke in the basement, the alarms on the first and upper level of your home will also go off. Likewise, if the smoke detector in your attic goes off, all of the other ones in your house will also sound.
This is important for many reasons. If you are asleep at night, you might not hear a basement smoke alarm if your bedroom door is closed and you sleep on the second floor of the house. If you are in the basement washing laundry, you might not hear a smoke alarm in the upstairs part of your home. When the alarms are all linked, you have a better chance of hearing the warning and having enough time to safely get out of your home. Having enough warning time to escape from a fire could save your life and the lives of your family members and pets.
Linking the smoke alarms is not a difficult task. We offer kits of smoke alarms that make it easy to link them as you install them. No matter how many smoke alarms you want to set up in your home, they can all be linked together. Now is the time to update your home with safety devices such as these.
