Carbon Monoxide: A Silent Killer

Carbon Monoxide: A Silent Killer


When considering home security, it's enough to deal with the things you can see. Open doors and windows, hiding places in your yard, and even smoke from a kitchen fire. However, what do you do about the deadly and toxic things you can't see, like carbon monoxide?


Carbon monoxide – CO – is a deadly gas that you cannot see, smell, or taste. It's the gas emitted from open-flame appliances like gas stoves and furnaces. Without any warning at all, you would never know your house was being overrun by this poison. You would pass out and, if not discovered in time, would die from continued exposure.


Fortunately, you can include carbon monoxide detectors with your monitored ADT home security system. These highly sensitive alarms are designed to detect even the smallest levels of carbon monoxide in your home or apartment, before they reach levels that will render you unconscious. When the alarm sounds you'll immediately be able to clear your house, getting everyone safely to fresh air.


Ensure that you and your family are protected from a wide range of potential safety hazards, including carbon monoxide. A professionally installed and monitored ADT home security system can provide this level of protection to you and your family.
