Everyone in the United States should have at least one working smoke detector inside his or her home. These regulations vary from state to state, and are in place in order to best protect people and their families against the danger of fire. However, most states do not require that homes have carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, despite the fact that CO is a real and serious danger.

On October 23, 2006, Illinois drew the Carbon Monoxide Detector Alarm Act, which requires a working CO detector to be installed within 15 feet of every room in which someone may sleep. This law went into effect on January 1, 2007. Any home that does not use the burning of fuel for heating or ventilation purposes, however, is not covered by this act.

What are the dangers of carbon monoxide?

Carbon monoxide is a real danger for individuals who do burn some sort of carbon-based fuel source inside their homes for any purpose whatsoever. This odorless, colorless, and highly toxic gas is formed by the incomplete oxidation of carbon into carbon dioxide. This partial reaction occurs when there is not enough oxygen present while the burning is happening. At least some carbon monoxide is formed every time a fuel is burned.

Because carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, humans typically do not notice its presence until they are already in serious danger. Symptoms of CO poisoning are similar to those one feels when plagued with the flu. Typically, victims develop headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and confusion when they have inhaled too much carbon monoxide. If they do not evacuate the area for one with proper ventilation and fresh air, they run the risk of death.

People who suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning when sleeping oftentimes do not even wake up before they pass away due to over-inhalation of the gas. This is one of the main reasons why the Illinois Carbon Monoxide Detector Alarm Act requires detectors in such close proximity to rooms used for sleeping.

What precautions can you take?

Aside from adhering to Illinois law and installing the proper detectors in your household, there are certain other steps that you can take to prevent the formation of carbon monoxide from ever being an issue. Always ensure that your appliances -- particularly, the fuel-burning ones -- are in proper working condition. Maintain your CO detector by keeping working batteries in it at all times and checking it periodically to make sure it is not malfunctioning. Finally, if you ever start to feel symptoms of CO poisoning, contact medical help immediately.

Distressed Bronze Security Motion Detector

A Distressed Bronze Security Motion Detector is what we have displayed in this picture. This motion detector is engineered with commercial, residential and business applications in mind. Protection of assets, the convenience of a well lit area and the anticipation of crime are the basis for choosing a motion detector. The detection radius is 180 degrees. Two outdoors 150W max Edison base lamps is what the manufacture suggest you use (not included). The dimensions for this Distressed Bronze Security Motion Detector are 9.5 inches wide, 6.75 inches in height, and a 6inch extension.

Every head of household wants their family to be safe and the same goes with property managers who keep safety at top of mind to keep tenants safe and secure. New homeowners and landlords may not have an emergency preparedness plan but soon find out it is necessary. Even if you have never had an emergency where you live or work; checking the safety of your residence once a year is vital to minimize risk.

Families are usually more concerned with testing smoke alarms, co detectors and checking fire extinguishers expiration date. In the event you ever use your fire extinguisher be sure to replace it immediately; partial filled extinguishers are no fun during an urgent time of need. Replace the batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms at least once a year but it is recommended every six months. Many find that working this into the spring & fall cleaning works very well. Once you replace the batteries test the units to ensure they still give a loud clear ringing alarm. The last thing you want to do is sleep through the alarm and be caught in a burning home.

Property managers need a more comprehensive plan than families because they usually have multiple families, businesses and properties to maintain. All facilities should be thoroughly checked every six months and it is a good idea to have the fire department take a look if you have a larger complex. Many insurance companies for property firms require this anyways, so this will help with your due diligence. Also if you have any public buildings such as business parks make sure a new emergency exit map with routes is given to all tenants once a year; even if they already have one in good shape that is exactly the same it is a good reminder. You will be surprised how often the emergency plans get misplaced, buried under paperwork or accidently thrown away.

Here is a short list of items to check every six to twelve months; skip the ones that don't apply but you might think about adding some of the items that are missing to your emergency plan.

• Smoke detectors & alarms
• Carbon monoxide detectors & alarms
• Fire Extinguishers
• Escape Ladders
• Emergency Exit Signs
• Emergency Lighting

All of the above items can be found at local hardware stores or online; if you have a large property or multiple properties it is a good idea to plan replacing all of them at once. You can buy in bulk to save quite a bit of money and might even be able to get them at wholesale cost or very close to cost. Always make sure there is a safe way out.

You can get quality smoke alarms and smoke detectors along with co detectors and carbone monoxide alarms at a discount price online from Resculite. Remember stay safe by testing your equipment at least once a year and if you have questions check out the articles on resculite.com or give them a call.

FIVE STEPS TO SAFETY

1. Buy and fit an audible carbon monoxide alarm today. An audible alarm can be bought widely at DIY and hardware stores. This is the most important thing that you can do to protect your family from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. We do not recommend the use of "Black Spot" carbon monoxide patches. Although they can detect CO, they will not protect you if you are poisoned while you are sleeping.

2. Ensure all your appliances are serviced at least once a year. All fuel burning appliances should be serviced annually by an engineer qualified and registered by the appropriate organisation like CORGI for gas, HETAS for solid fuel or OFTEC for oil. If you are a tenant in rented accommodation with gas appliances your landlord must provide you with proof that a CORGI registered engineer has checked the appliance within the last 12 months. You should ask you landlord to fit a Carbon Monoxide Alarm.

3. Don't block ventilation to your appliances. Make sure that there is plenty of ventilation to rooms which contain appliances or which contain open fires or solid fuel burners. Ensure that vents and flues are not blocked.

4. Make sure your chimneys are swept and kept clear of debris. Make sure that chimneys are swept at least once a year by a qualified Chimney Sweep. A Chimney Sweep can also check your chimney does not leak with a smoke test. Chimneys can become blocked, for example with birds' nests if they are not used in the summer.

5. If in doubt call for expert advice or emergency help. In an emergency, or if your CO Alarm goes off, open doors and windows for ventilation and ensure everyone leaves the house. Call the relevant 24 hour advice line in the UK or call the emergency services on 999 (in the UK) for help. You should seek medical advice and ensure all appliances are serviced and checked. Do not use them again until you are told it is safe.

Do not become a victim of the silent killer

Awareness of carbon monoxide poisoning can help save lives. A Carbon Monoxide Alarm is an essential for every home, in addition to annaul servicing of boilers and other appliances. An audible Carbon Monoxide Alarm is the key to saving lives

Home Security systems are no longer just to protect against home invasions. Of course, they are still great at protecting your home from burglars and invasions; however, in the last few years home security systems have evolved to the point that they are able to protect your home and your family from much more than just burglars. Many of the systems available on the market today can also protect you from carbon monoxide and fire as well. There are even systems that can provide protection in the event of medical emergencies. The latter are particularly beneficial for older individuals who live alone but who also require assistance in the event of an emergency.

Due to the fact that home security systems provide so many advantages and have proven to be quite a deterrent to would-be burglars, many insurance companies are now willing to offer homeowners discounts up to 20% when they have a home security system. In fact, statistics indicate that a home with a security system is three times less likely to be invaded by burglars as a home without a system.

If you want to make sure that you have complete protection; however, you might want to consider one of the many options that are now available on many home security systems.

24-hour monitoring-This option gives you the peace of mind in knowing that trained professionals will monitor your system and then sound an alarm as well as call the fire department, ambulance or police in the event of an emergency. Even if you are not at home or you cannot get to the phone yourself, it will be taken care of for you.

Theft Protection-With basic home alarm systems you can rely on sensors in the windows and doors as well as motion detectors and sounders that can work to frighten away prospective burglars. With a more advanced system; you can receive additional protection in the form of glass break detectors.

Smoke and Fire Detection-Sure, you have smoke detectors; however, even they may not be enough to protect you in the event of a fire. A monitored detector will actually sound an alarm as well as send a signal to the monitoring center who will contact the fire department.

Carbon Monoxide Detection-Estimates indicate that as many as 1,800 people die each year from carbon monoxide; a gas that is colorless and odorless. As a result, many homeowners have made the decision to protect their families from what is frequently referred to as a silent killer. A monitored sensor will detect the presence of this gas and then sound an alarm as well as send a signal to the monitoring signal for help to be contacted.

Flood Detection-Have you ever come home to find that your basement is knee deep in water because of broken pipes or a washing machine that overflowed? Those possibilities will be a thing of the past with flood detection. This option actually triggers sensors when rising water is detection. You as well as the monitoring center will be alerted.

Home security and safety comes in many forms. Determining what options are right for your situation are critical. Monitored systems increase your protection level and solutions can be configured for just about any home.

Black Single Outdoor Motion Detector Light

This single outdoor motion detector light with black finish and acid frost glass is a great way to add a sense of security to your home. The spotlight has been approved for use in wet locations and requires one, 75 watt bulb. This light measures 11 inches high, 4.4 inches wide and extends 6.4 inches from the wall. Available colors are black and white. Please specify color when ordering.

Let me start from the beginning: As a home owner you should be proactive instead of reactive. Thieves will not wait until your home is protected they will strike now while the picking is ripe. To many home owners wait to contact a security company until they become victims of a robbery, while in fact it is proven in statistics that homes with visible security are 14 times less likely to become victims of burglary.

To secure your home you should step back and think like a thief, take a walk around your home and look at the obvious entry points. Are there ladders just laying about that can easily reach that second floor balcony with that open French door? Are there windows left open for ventilation that can easily be accessed by a thief from the level of a nearby fence? These and many more areas are the most inviting to thieves, as they give them easy access to your home without much effort on their part. Take the time to lock down your ladders and always ensure that all doors and windows are properly secured before leaving your home unattended.

All exterior doors should be solid doors with deadbolts and door enforcers. Install peep holes for viewing before opening. Windows and sliding glass doors that can be lifted out from the outside can be secured by installing pan head screws in the upper track, adjust to allow free back and forth movement but with minimum up and down movement. Also secure with commercially available locks or use a broomstick or wooden dowel in the lower track. I personally liked broken hockey sticks, the shafts fit just perfect into sliding door tracks. Garage doors should be closed and locked whenever you are not around.

Install timers on all exterior lights that automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, thieves do not like to be seen. Keep shrubs and bushes trimmed as to not allow for hiding places. Outdoor sheds should also be locked with secure heavy duty locks.

Residential Security Systems: As every home is different with its own strengths and weaknesses, consult a security expert to visit your home and provide you a quality system designed to fit your security requirements and your budget. For less than a $1.00 a day you can protect your home with a security system, keep that in perspective when you think you can not afford one when you purchase your morning coffee.

A security system will not guarantee to keep the bad guys out but it will keep the time they are in your home to a minimum. Be sure that the security system you purchase is monitored. Alarm monitoring means that someone is always watching your home via the security system along with the alarm monitoring center. Once the system has been breached the monitoring center is notified and the appropriate authorities are dispatched to your home. The loud obnoxious siren will scare off the thief as well.

Security Systems are unique to each premise; hard wired, wireless or a combination of both, they can include fire protection, flood/water, heat and carbon monoxide, perimeter (doors and windows) and interior protection. Again have a security expert visit your home for your requirements. For more information on security for your home and a host of useful tips on safety visit http://www.thesecuritylady.com

Is your fire alarm system operating like it should be? If a firebreaks out in your basement while you are asleep, will you be alerted in time to safely evacuate your family? These are just two of the many questions you should be asking yourself when it comes to fire safety.

The best form of protection for both your home and family is to have your detectors connected to a monitored alarm system. In the event of a fire, whether you are there or not, your alarm system alerts a central station who then calls the fire department and police on your behalf. Unfortunately, most buildings are not equipped with such a system, although with the right technician it is possible for any structure to be protected in this manner.

The next best thing to having your place constantly monitored is to make sure that you are protected by installing an interconnected fire alarm system. Meaning every smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and heat detector will be connected to each other. No matter where a fire occurs, your entire alarm system will sound off, alerting you of a potential problem, allowing for a safe evacuation. Smoke detectors are required to have both A/C power from your electrical panel and a battery back up in the event of a power failure. No matter what type of system you choose, it should be installed by a certified professional.

Testing your fire alarm system on a monthly basis should be a common practice, as should changing the batteries in the units every six months. Most people remember this by associating the time change in the spring and fall with changing the batteries in their detectors. Because smoke detectors rarely go off and blend in with the ceiling, they are easily forgotten. Your units should be maintained by testing and cleaning them according to manufacturer specifications. Smoke, carbon monoxide, and heat detectors should be replaced every ten years, at minimum.
