Spring Cleaning Time! 

Add cleaning and testing your smoke detectors to your spring cleaning list. We recommend you clean your smoke detectors once every 6 months. Cleaning your smoke detectors involves two activities:  1) vacuuming out the unit; and  2) wiping down the outside vents.  To vacuum the unit, please follow the manufacturer's recommendations for routine cleanings. Usually this involves removing the face of the unit and using a soft brush attachment for your vacuum cleaner to gently brush and vacuum the inside of your smoke detector. You can also use a can of compressed air to clean your smoke detector. 

In addition to vacuuming the inside of your smoke detector, you should also use a clean cloth and mild detergent to remove build-up from the outside of your unit. In particular, you will want to clean the vent openings, to ensure that air flow is not obstructed to the sensor inside the unit.
If you are not sure how to clean your smoke detector, you should at least vacuum the outside of the unit, which will draw air through the vents in the face of the unit.

Reminder, don't forget to test your alarm system at least once a month as well! If you change phones make sure to test to make sure your alarm system is still sending signals.

The Best Home Security - Layers of Protection

24-Hour Monitoring
Home security systems are geared toward stopping burglary and home intrusion, but there are silent threats that need monitoring. ABS Alarm Co. provides affordable 24-hour monitoring to help you avoid becoming a victim of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home is the best way to protect your family and property. Fire may start small but spreads quickly, and smoke can be even more lethal. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is difficult to detect. Together, fire and carbon monoxide kill or injure thousands of people each year. In many cases, a monitored alarm system with detectors could have made the difference between safety and tragedy. The safety of your loved ones is priceless, so consider monitoring for fire and carbon monoxide as well. Call us for details on our full range of protection.

Beware of Bundling Services

Some Internet/phone and cable companies are now offering bundle packages that include an alarm. There are many reasons why bundling isn't good. For one, companies tend to want to sell bundling to customers so you'll be reluctant to switch because you have all your services looped together, even if you're unhappy with the company. In addition, these companies do not specialize in alarms so they cannot offer solid technical support, product diversity, as well as reliability to your alarm. Security is an important thing, and bundling it with a one stop shop that doesn't specialize in security is something to truly be cautious about. For more information or questions feel free to contact our service department at 1-888-595-6003.

Changing Your Telephone Service Provider?

In most cases, your alarm system is designed to work with your telephone line. It's connected in a special way to transmit alarm signals without interference using your main phone line. If this connection is disturbed, alarm signals may not be reported to the central station. Alarm systems may not work or may not be as reliable with some VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) cable telephone service providers

Before making any changes to your phone system it's important to let your telephone provider know that you have a monitored alarm, and call us so we can confirm if it's a reliable source for communication. Test the alarm before your phone tech leaves to ensure your alarm is communicating with our central station.

Another option - keep your traditional landline phone but reduce your service to receiving calls only. This can significantly reduce your phone bill and you can be assured that your alarm will continue to communicate. If you have any questions, call our service department at 1-888-595-6003.
