General

• Surge Protection
  11a) Lightning is one of the most unpredictable forces on earth. Some areas receive daily ground strikes and preventing damage to our homes is never perfect. Several methods however, are fairly effective such as; Installing a “whole house” surge protector in the main power panel; using surge protectors at computer and entertainment center locations; driving extra ground rods; installing phone and cable/satellite surge protectors.

Safety and Security

• Smoke Detectors
  9b) If a smoke detector alarms don’t automatically assume there is no problem if you don’t find a fire after checking your house. These new detectors are very accurate and will sense a fire much quicker than a person.  A dog however, may bark at a fire before a smoke detector, but they can’t be everywhere and they do chase squirrels.
