In most cases, it's easier to pull out a small fire than to save your whole house - and that's why you need detectors in your house.

There are a few types of detectors you need to make your house a safer place, and you shouldn't neglect any of them.

Let's see how these things can protect you.

Smoke Detectors

These are like superheroes that warn you if there's smoke, which could mean there's a fire.

Put them in bedrooms and hallways. Check them regularly to make sure they work.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Carbon monoxide is a sneaky gas that you can't see or smell, but it can be dangerous. 

Install these detectors in or near bedrooms to keep you safe from this invisible threat.

Fire Extinguisher

This is like a mini firefighter in your house. It helps put out small fires before they become big problems. 

Keep one in the kitchen, where fires might start.

Radon Detector

Radon is another invisible danger. This detector checks if there's too much radon gas in your home. 

It's usually placed in basements or lower levels.

Burglar Alarm

This is like a guard for your home. It makes loud noises if someone tries to break in. 

Put sensors on doors and windows to keep your home safe.

Water Leak Detector

Water can sneak into places it shouldn't, causing damage. 

These detectors alert you if there's a leak, so you can fix it before it becomes a big problem.

Temperature and Humidity Sensors

These sensors help you keep your home comfortable. 

They let you know if it's getting too hot, too cold, or too humid.

Motion Sensors

These are like watchdogs for your home. 

They can turn on lights or sound an alarm if they detect movement, helping to keep your home secure.

Childproof Detectors

If you have little ones, consider childproofing with outlet covers and cabinet locks. 

These small steps help keep curious kids safe.

Emergency Lights

These are handy in case the power goes out. 

They automatically turn on, making it easier for you to move around safely in the dark.
