Scott McGillivray, host of HGTV's popular show Income Property says he is always shocked when people seem more concerned about the speed of their Internet connection or their TV program bundles than their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. "One enhances your life, the other can save it," McGillivray says. "It is not acceptable for anyone, whether they rent out an income suite or not, to compromise fire or CO safety." Here are Scott's top three safety reminders: 1. Install a smoke alarm on every floor of your home and outside all sleeping areas. It is now law in Ontario, as well, that you must install a CO alarm (or combination smoke/CO alarm) outside sleeping areas if your home has any potential source of the deadly gas. 2. Test alarms monthly. However, understand that if the alarm sounds it is just confirming power is getting to the unit and the circuitry is working. It does not confirm that an alarm's sensor is functioning at an optimal level. 3. Smoke and CO alarms do not last forever. Check the age of all alarms. Replace smoke alarms that are over 10 years old and CO alarms manufactured prior to 2009.

"By never having to change batteries these worry-free alarms save you money," he says. "And the alarms also last 10 years from the time of installation. That's priceless peace of mind."
