We now must pro-actively market power loss alarms to provide the protection needed to protect our customer's lifestyle from the Code required safety protection, in order to protect our business from our customer's litigation.And on the refrigerator? Really? If they go to bed and don't know it popped everything in their freezer is bad when they realize it!
Looking forward to the 2017 NEC that will require AFCI on ANY heating apparatus that is powered from 15 or 20 Amp 120 Volt circuits, and considering how quickly a building can freeze up in many parts of this country, the power loss alarm will need to be part of the Internet of Things. . .
Of course, we'll need a backup power loss alarm on a backup Internet of Things connection to cover the AFCI interruption of the primary internet connection equipment.
Hey!! Nothing personal. . . just "good" business. :angel::angel:
