Most Popular Freeze Alarms for Homes and Cottages

Many property owners being looking around for a way to be alerted to falling temperatures in their homes due to furnace failures or power outages this time of year. A freeze alarm or temperature alarm device is what is required to do this.

What is a freeze alarm?

A freeze alarm is a device that monitors the temperature in real time and alerts the user(s) if the temperature drops below a threshold, allowing the home owner to rectify the problem and save the property from freezing, pipes bursting etc.

What do I need to know when choosing my freeze alarm?

1. What type of communication platform you’re going to have at your location. I.e. Landline, cellular coverage, Internet etc.
2. How you want to be alerted. I.e. Phone call, text message, email. (This will in large part already be determined by the communication platform you have available.)
3. Other conditions you may wish to monitor for now, or in the future. Examples are water leaks, intrusion, humidity etc.
