Protecting Your Home in Cold Weather: Freeze Sensors and Home Security

Who knows what could happen if the cold weather gets the better of your home? There are so many parts to a house which could be vulnerable to the cold and ice if you don’t keep everything in check. Ice can be strong enough to break through metal and can cause water pipes to burst, which then leads to water damage , structural problems and mold infestations . If your home is not well prepared for the cold, just one very cold spell could be enough to cause problems. This is particularly true, of course, in areas where cold weather is less common. Infrastructure tends to be built with certain expectations, and when an extreme weather event occurs then people can get caught out.

With this in mind, the more tools and effective systems you have at your disposal, the better. Freeze sensors keep track of the temperature wherever they are placed (vulnerable spots in the home such as basements or attics are recommended). They will then report back to you and warn you if the temperature is approaching dangerous levels , allowing you to take action before it’s too late. Imagine if your heating system failed at the worst possible time (which is more common than we might think), or if you were out of town and didn’t realize you needed to get someone to sort out the problem. With real-time warnings sent to your smartphone , you have the chance of saving a lot more headaches and expense with well-placed freeze sensors. Another example could be for outdoor water features or pools which you want to keep running in the cold weather. Automatic sensors could simply alert you when necessary, or even be set to trigger the activation of another system such as filtration or heating, thereby preventing the freeze. If you think and plan ahead for these situations, with the help of our protective systems then you’ll have a lot less to worry about in the cold weather.
