With more people are staying at home, working from home, and even exercising and going to school at home, home renovations have increased dramatically. You may need more space, or the space you have just isn’t organized well for what you need now. Before you start renovating, though, be sure you have a complete fire alarm system in place. Here’s why:
Before renovating your home, consider having a professional alarm company install a temporary but thorough central fire alarm system that protects all areas of your home with a heat sensor, including attics, garages, and crawl spaces. Once construction is complete and before you move into the space, you’ll want to replace the temporary system with a permanent central fire alarm system that includes smoke detectors in all finished living spaces and heat sensors in all attic, garage, and crawl spaces.
