Need Some Advice on low temperature alarms

Silver Duck · 01-30-2005, 01:05 PM

My father spends his Winters in Florida, but does not want to fully winterize his house, so I "keep an eye on it" for him.

Last weekend, we had a very close call with a loss-of-heat situation. We arrived to find the heat off and the house temperature in the low 40s; since the previous night had been below 0, I figure that we lucked out and got there only a few hours after the heat had failed.

I want to install a dial-out low temperature alarm, and figured that many forum members must use these to protect their lake homes. I'd greatly appreciate any advice concerning the best brands, and where to purchase one!

Thanks in advance,

Silver Duck
