Hello All,, Well its been months and months since I written anything. Sorry for that,

I would like to touch on Carbon Monoxide Detectors.

I have found more people are inquiring about them since the tragic deaths of a family with kids and a young college student here.

I have found many detectors located in the furnace areas of the home. That furnace doesn't care if it goes off. It will keep spewing CO into the home and cause death if not discovered in time. I ALWAYS tell my clients that they SHOULD have a CO detector and it be placed in their BEDROOM and a second one in the living/family room. You want it to wake you up or warn you that there is dangerous CO levels in the home. Sitting down in the furnace room of a 2 story, multi level and even a ranch style home you will probably NOT hear it and have the time to get out of the home safely.

Remember LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION,

I also HIGHLY recommend the NIGHTHAWK / Kiddie models. They have a GREAT track record. Are reasonably priced and readily available at most hardware stores and Walmart.

So for a modest cost, under $50, you could save a life, perhaps your own or that of your clients, remember you what their repeat business.

Go purchase one today and they make great giveaways for your clients.

Have a GREAT day and stay safe.
