Do you have home insurance? Of course you do! Having insurance is a part of life. Home insurance, car insurance, life insurance… the list goes on. Why risk a fire destroying your home, or losing many of your belongings in a burglary with no insurance to fall back on? It just doesn’t make sense.

So consider this: Insurance may protect the cost of your belongings, but it does nothing to protect you from harm! The average home is a very dangerous place; Water, gas & electricity surround us in almost every room. So why put yourself at a risk greater than that of your belongings?

As a precaution against fire, your Intelligent Home Control system can be set to activate sockets at predefined times. You can also control the power supply to cookers and other appliances via a single switch. This can offer you peace of mind should there be children in the home.

Should your Intelligent Home Control system detect a leak of any kind, it will:

* Emit a high-pitched alarm
* Cut off the relevant supply
* Cut off any or all of the other supply’s (To reduce the fire risk from electrical installations, should your system detect smoke, it can be programmed to shut most of these down. If your home has a gas supply, IHC can also be programmed to shut this off to reduce the risk of explosion.)
* Send a message to the homeowner informing them that the problem has been contained

Can you really afford not to take such precautions? The Intelligent Home Control system is smart, yet simple & offers unrivalled safety. It should be as commonplace in our homes as insurance!

Next week, we will consider the Control benefits of Intelligent Home Control, so keep an eye out for that article. If you have missed it, last week we also looked at the Security benefits of IHC.
