Garage Door Openers and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Working Together to Save Lives

The garage door industry has come a long way in taking measures to protect your family.  In the last few decades we have seen, safe guards, object sensors and reversal motors added to the arsenal to keep your family safe from garage door accidents. 

With all these safety nets we still see accidents happening in the garage itself.  Be it a slip and fall, or a fire caused by dirty rags and flammable chemicals a garage can be one of the most dangerous areas in your home. 

One of major incidents that can happen in your garage is carbon monoxide poisoning.  We’ve all heard stories of leaky stoves, or water heaters that have had their pilot lights go out which result in the death of a whole family being poisoned by carbon monoxide. 

This phenomenon can also be found in the home garage where people may mistakenly leave cars running causing poisoning or worst death.  This time of year we see a rise in carbon monoxide poisoning thanks to the weather.  People trying to warm up their vehicles in the home may often forget causing carbon monoxide to leak into the home harming everyone within.  Luckily a new invention has hit the market. 

Thanks to home automation lives are being saved.  Through the use of this type of technology carbon monoxide detectors can shoot a signal to the homes data port which is also connected to a wireless garage door opener.  When the detector senses to much carbon monoxide in the area it sends a signal to the central hub which then sends a signal to the garage door opener automatically opening the door and saving you and your family’s life.


When dealing with the installation of such devices it is always a good idea to have an expert company at hand.  With over years of experience and service Hudson Valley Overhead Doors and Operators is the company for you.  To purchase their following services contact them today:
