Install a total security system that provides burglary and fire protection in your home. Residential fire alarms supervise doors, windows and spaces within the home against break-ins. They may also provide monitoring services by dialing the house’s telephone to report a fire or intrusion to a security office which reports to the local police or fire department.

A fire alarm system consists of a central control panel where smoke alarms and heat detectors are connected. There are also bells or horns that are activated when the system triggers an alarm. Other sensors are included to prevent burglary as the system connects to doors and windows or monitors rooms for motion or body heat.
