Huntsville Real Estate Tips--Fire Safety For Your Home

For this week's Real Estate Consumer Tip of the Week, I would like to provide you with some valuable information about home safety. As busy as we all get, it's sometimes easy to overlook fire safety and other home maintenance activities.
Remember to replace the old batteries in your home's smoke alarms regularly. You should also dust each alarm and test it to make sure it's functioning properly. Make sure you have installed enough smoke alarms for the size of your home -- at least one per story, especially near bedrooms.
It's also a good idea to check your fire extinguishers periodically: many models are only useful for a certain number of years. If yours is expired, replace it or have it serviced. Each home should have at least one extinguisher in the kitchen and the garage.
Finally, because overloaded circuits are the cause of many home fires, you should take a few minutes to scan your home's power outlets and replace any cords or plugs that have cracks or other visible damage.
These easy tasks can make your home a safer place for everyone. Please don't hesitate to call or email me if I can answer any questions for you. In an effort to help you improve the fire safety of your home, I am offering coupons to Lowe's for 10% Off Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detectors or Fire Extinguishers.
