Vital Ease — home modification and maintenance solutions

An alarm that wakes you,a doorbell you notice.

Flashing lights, louder sounds, and a bed shaker. You notice the smoke alarm, the doorbell, and the phone, even if you are hard of hearing.

A smoke alarmmust wake you.

Every home must have working smoke alarms. But if you are deaf, hard of hearing, or a heavy sleeper, an ordinary alarm may not wake you.

It is the same with the doorbell and the phone. A carer is left waiting outside, or a call from the hospital is missed.

An alerting system adds a second signal: a flashing light, a much louder sound, or a shaker under your pillow.

Questions

What people ask abouthome alerting systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a home alerting system for?
Anyone who can’t rely on hearing an alarm, a doorbell, or the phone. That includes people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It also includes people who sleep so deeply, sometimes because of medication, that a hallway alarm won’t wake them.
Does an alerting system replace my smoke alarms?
No, and this is the most important thing to know. Your home still needs its normal smoke alarms in the places the rules require. The alerting system passes their warning on to a light, a louder sound, or a bed shaker, so it reaches you.
What happens to the system in a power cut?
Good receivers have battery backup, so the alert still reaches the bedroom when the power is off. It matters, because fires and power cuts often happen together. We check this on every system we fit.
Can an alerting system be added to over time?
Yes, and that is usually the best way to start. You can add alerts for the door, phone, and smoke alarm, and more receivers in other rooms, later. If money is tight now, cover the bedroom first. Funding is often available through the NDIS, aged care packages, and DVA.
