We put a pad in the bedroom 2 down stairs at the back and front door. It cost a few bucks but it has been well worth the money (side note just 2 months after we had it installed we had a CO2 leak in our furnace, the alarm tripped when just my 70 yr old grandmother and my 1 yr old were home alone. They were out of the house within a min and I knew what was going on in about the same time frame.). We still hear the bump in the nights but I know that after a few seconds that If that pad does not start plinking I am back to sleep. |
This is the way we're likely to go with our new house. We're currently looking a a semi split floorplan, which does offer a bit of concern in a fire / home invasion event. Hence, the plan for an alarm system to quickly ID the point of entry, as well as if the "bump" was just a bump, or something to really be concerned about.
