Earlier this year a new law in our state went into effect requiring us to replace smoke alarms when they’re 10 years old to ensure the most effective technology is installed to provide protection to people and property. While it may seem like a pain and an expense to replace existing smoke alarms in your house, it’s not worth it to take a chance with your family’s safety.

Every year nearly 3,000 Americans die from home fires, many of which can be prevented with proper placement and maintenance of working smoke alarms, emergency preparedness, and escape planning. With a built in smoke and carbon monoxide alarm plus premium speakers and built in Amazon Alexa,  is a must-have in the realm of smart home technology because it does an outstanding job of protecting your loved ones.
