Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer. Many people are killed in their sleep because carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas. A monitored carbon monoxide detector will communicate a signal to our central station, whether you are sleeping or away from home. Our dispatcher will send the proper authorities to assure you are all right. A monitored fire alarm will also notify our central station, whether you are home or away. Fire alarm monitoring will insure that your property and family is protected, 24 hours a day.
