What You Should Know About Smoke Detectors

Because fire can grow and spread so quickly, having working smoke alarms in your Central New Jersey home can mean the difference between life and death. But these life-saving devices are only effective when they're working properly. Smoke alarms with batteries that are dead, disconnected, or missing can't alert you to the dangers of smoke and fire.

The right way to install smoke alarms

Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, including the basement, making sure that there is an alarm outside every separate sleeping area. New homes are required to have a smoke alarm in every sleeping room and all smoke alarms must be interconnected.

Hard-wired smoke alarms operate on your household electrical current. They can be interconnected so that every alarm sounds regardless of the fire's location. This is an advantage in early warning, because it gives occupants extra time to escape if they are in one part of the home and a fire breaks out in another part. Alarms that are hard-wired should have battery backups in case of a power outage, and should be installed by a qualified Central New Jersey.

If you sleep with bedroom doors closed, have a qualified electrician install interconnected smoke alarms in each room so that when one alarm sounds, they all sound.

If you, or someone in your home is deaf or hard of hearing, consider installing an alarm that combines flashing lights, vibration and/or sound.

Mount smoke alarms high on walls or ceilings (remember, smoke rises). Ceiling mounted alarms should be installed at least four inches away from the nearest wall; wall-mounted alarms should be installed four to 12 inches away from the ceiling.

If you have ceilings that are pitched, install the alarm near the ceiling's highest point.

Don't install smoke alarms near windows, doors, or ducts where drafts might interfere with their operation.

Never paint smoke alarms. Paint, stickers, or other decorations could keep the alarms from working.

Dear Mr. Weltman,

I am writing this letter on behalf of your sales associate, Mr. James P.Torres. Please be advised that his professional and skillful approach made the process of buying a new heating system enjoyable!

As the Weltman “rep” Jimmy did a very careful analysis of my needs, and explained, in detail, what system would best work in my home.

Since Jimmy was my first contact with Weltman Plumbing, Heating & Air, I expected to have a “top notch” experience. I was not disappointed, it truly was! All the employees that I deal with were prompt, courteous and extremely professional.

Therefore, based on my experience with your company and James P. Torres specifically, I would recommend Weltman Plumbing, Heating & Air to anyone considering a new heating system.

- Sincerely Yours,

Martin A Sokoloff

Dear Mr. Weltman,

We moved into our home in ’76. For many years all the laundry has been stained tan. We contacted another plumber who said the staining was due to the galvanized piping. That plumber wanted to break out the wall tiles in the bathroom and install new pipes. Since we knew this would be an expensive job we decided to live with the problem.

When we contacted your company luck was on our side when Ralf was assigned to the job. He suggested installing the pipes through the floor thereby saving the wall tiles. Now our problem has been solved and the water runs clear. Ralf is a genius.

We enjoy using your company and think all your technicians are great! Ralf, Steven, David, Kris and Chris have done exceptionally excellent work. Both Ralf and Steven have advised us about other matters. Your office staff is efficient and pleasant as well.

When your technicians leave, we feel that a friend has just left!

Thank you again.

- Sincerely,

Marilyn Schott

Just a short note to express my complete satisfaction for the service your company provided to me.

After arriving home on the evening of Octobrer 10,2003 I found water leaking from my hot water heater.

I called your number and spoke to Felicia. She was very professional, settled me down, took down the information and said that she would have somebody out within an hour.

To my surprise your truck arrived at my house in less than forty minutes. Chris Stumbers, your service man, surveyed the situation advised me of the problem and gave me an estimate. He efficiently removed and replaced my hot water heater. Also, he fixed a leaking toilet.

Mr. Weltman you should be proud of your staff and your slogan "We Care" certainly fits as far as I am concerned.

"I have been delighted with every aspect of your work and your people. When I needed immediate service on Tuesday, your most wonderful individual had a technician at my house within minutes [!], and while there he performed warranty service on other things. You likely see from my records that I have had a bunch of work done recently, including new water service from the street. I first found Weltman in an "emergency" situation, which worked out well. I continued to use my regular plumber until I realized how limited and unreliable his service was. Since then, it's been you for all my work.

While I know that Weltman may not be the cheapest, I am confident that you are the best, and I always recommend you to anyone who asks."
