Hey! I saw your tags on that Yu-Gi-Oh drag queen video and I'm curious to know what else irl equals CO2 levels of 4000(also weight)? I heard that if you're in an area with more than 2500 you are prone to headaches, but is it any different from let's say an indoor concert? This tidbit really interested me because of how massive that event is (I've only been twice and the last time was 7 years ago so I can't even imagine how it is now ..)
I can answer this question best I'm able with sources, but I'm no scientist! Sources will be listed at the bottom of this post!
Air quality is measured in parts per million, or ppm. Common pollutants in air quality (as noted by OSHA) include things like Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Pesticides, Radon, Damp Environments, etc. (Source 2)
The levels specifically for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) were the main concern in at Anime Expo this part weekend.
CO2 is produced when we exhale, as our bodies remove it with our lungs. As such, when a large group of people come together in an enclosed space, and the air filtration or ventilation is poor, the percent of CO2 in the air will rise.
I'm sure you've heard talk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, as I believe most US laws require CO detectors in homes and workplaces. The reason I bring up CO is that both CO2 and CO can cause poisoning and death, but the PPM (or % in the air) is drastically different for each air contaminant.
You hear more about Carbon Monoxide poisoning (CO) because the ppm that causes complications is much lower than the ppm of Carbon Dioxide poisoning (CO2). (CO limits by OSHA are much lower than those for CO2, more on this later)
CO2 Levels (measured in ppm) and how they affect the human body: (Source 1)
Above 500ppm: Higher heart rates, Changes in heart rate, Increased blood pressure, Increased amount of CO2 in the bloodstream.
Above 1,000ppm: Cognitive issues (ability to solve problems, making decisions, ability to do math) and Respiratory symptoms in children.
Above 10,000ppm: Higher Respiratory rate (number of breaths taken per minute), CO2 in bloodstream changes the pH levels of your blood, metabolic stress, higher brain blood flow, increased minute ventilation (the volume of gas inhaled or exhaled per minute).
Above 30,000ppm: "Decreased exercise tolerance in workers when breathing against inspiratory and expiratory resistance"
Above 50,000ppm: Shortness of breath, Dizziness, Headaches.
80,000ppm to 100,000ppm: Confusion, dizziness, severe headache, shortness of breath, sweating, dim vision
Above 100,000ppm: Unbearable shortness of breath, vomiting, disorientation, hypertension, and loss of consciousness
There have also been studies done that show poor air quality (2,000ppm – 2,500ppm) decreases concentration, increases drowsiness, irritation, headache, respiratory illness, and diminished cognitive abilities in students, and has even been a source of concern in the workplace, as there is a direct correlation with CO2 levels and lower productivity. (Source 4)
OSHA itself has regulations for Indoor Air Quality in Commercial and Institutional Buildings! CO2 levels outdoors typically register at 300ppm-500ppm. Since studies have proven that CO2 levels can cause poisoning and even death, they have come up with a scale to determine safe levels for workers.  
The most important level of exposure in terms of the Anime Expo situation is the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) and ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for 8-hour exposure, which is 5,000ppm of CO2.
OSHA also has determined that 30,000ppm is the limit for ACGIH TLV Short-term exposure.
40,000ppm is Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health. (Source 3)
Something MAJOR about these studies is that these rates are made based on “studies on physically fit males in confined spaces”
The OSHA Guidelines for Exposure to CO2 levels are based on physically fit male bodies.
Why is this an issue? It’s pretty obvious, honestly. The number of people who attended this past weekend hasn’t been determined as of this moment, but LA Times stated that the con drew in tens of thousands of attendees (as of the 4th of July, 2022.) In the past, there have been more than 350,000 people coming and going at these cons (Source 6). Not every person there was physically fit and male.
And the CO2 rates in Artist’s Alley alone were recorded to be between 4202ppm – 4740ppm.
So, not only does this pose an issue due to CO2 poisoning, but concerns have been raised due to COVID-19. Studies have shown that when the CO2 levels in a confined space are higher, the risk of transmission of COVID-19 increases.
This is especially true when no masks are worn, and people are actively breathing heavily (Example being a gym). An example given was the risk of COVID-19 in a gym from from 2,800 to 1,000ppm, the rate of COVID-19 transmission drops to ¼ the original risk. But! In a setting like a library, if the CO2 levels jump from 800-1,600ppm, the COVID-19 transmission risk TRIPLES. As I stated before, the rate is heavily dependent on things like masks and obviously, how close you are to other people (hence the 6ft distance we have put between us and others in public), and how well ventilated the area is (CO2 levels). (Source 5)
So, you might be thinking, well, if people were wearing masks, they knew the risk, and they knew that COVID-19 was going to be a risk just by going.
Well, Anime Expo actually had come under fire a few weeks prior to the event for taking away their mask policy, and their policy to check for vaccination status.
This gave vendors no chance to back out (many of which expressed concerns in regards to their health, whether they were immunocompromised, and how they had paid money to participate in Artist’s Alley and would have to pack out with no refund) and caused a major enough backlash that Anime Expo re-instated their mask and vaccination policy.
HOWEVER!
There were many cases of people online sharing stories of guests taking their masks off (especially in Artist’s Alley) and other places where masks were required. With an event this large (see figures above, likely over 100,000 people) There is just no way to enforce a mask policy with this many attendees. Images of Artist’s Alley alone showed that people were packed in like sardines, and that the air quality was very, very low.
Twitter user nickelpin posted some images of their CO2 readings at the con:
The tweet reads: “4202ppm inside Artist Alley Kentia Hall #covidsafetyAnimeExpo”
Tumblr media
[Image Transcription: An image of an air quality device held in hand in front of a large group of people. The device reads "78.4°F 50 Humidity 4202 CO2ppm aranet4". There is a sign on the ceiling that reads "Artist's Alley" as well as many vendors and booths lining each side of the large room. Some people in the image are wearing masks, but many are not.]
Another Image was posted by the same user (nickelpin)
the tweet reads: “4740ppm CO2 at the second to last row of the Artist Alley. I've been wearing an elastomeric N95 this whole time, but I'm going to quar from my friends and family when I go home, just in case. #covidsafetyAnimeExpo #AnimeExpo”
Tumblr media
[Image Transcription: An image of an air quality device held in hand in front of a large group of people. The device reads "82.0°F 50 Humidity 4740 CO2ppm aranet4". There are vendors and booths lining each side of the large room. Some people in the image are wearing masks, but many are not.]
Another tweet by the same user: “The hallway between the doors of Kentia Hall is at 4171ppm at 5:15pm #covidsafetyAnimeExpo #AnimeExpo”
Tumblr media
[Image Transcription: An image of an air quality device held in hand, in front of a long hallway. The device reads "82.4°F 56 Humidity 4171 CO2ppm aranet4." There are some people sitting against the walls on each side of the hall. Some people are wearing masks, most are not. The hallway is relatively empty aside from some groups of 2-5 people, and some people walking.]
I also want to point out that the OSHA 8-hour exposure limits are 5,000ppm. Artist’s Alley was open from 10:00am – 6:00pm for three out of the four days the con was open, and then from 10:00am – 3:00pm on the fourth.
This left vendors sitting in the crowded, poorly-ventilated airspace for 8 hours, three days in a row.
And remember, those OSHA limitations are based on able-bodied, physically fit males.
So, all in all, Anime Expo was a disaster in terms of COVID-19 precautions and regulations.
Guests and Vendors were assured that every precaution would be taken, but 6ft social distancing was not possible in most places, and vendors who had already signed up would risk losing a lot of money if they didn’t stay and sell what they could.
I also want to remind people that the COVID-19 pandemic is still on-going. COVID-19 continues to kill people, including able-bodied people, and especially those who are immunocompromised. Talks of ‘well it only kills people with pre-existing conditions’ are blatant eugenics, and the statement isn’t even true.
Users on twitter are calling on anyone who went to the con to quarantine, because there is a chance that every single person who stepped into Artist’s Alley was exposed to COVID-19.
-
I hope that this explained the situation a bit better, anon! I’d love to hear some information about how mask policy and vax policy was handled by anyone who was attending the event.
Please do not blame the guests and vendors for going to the convention. They were told that precautions would be taken, and that things would be relatively safe. It had only come out during and after the convention that there was a severe lack of enforcement of the policies, and the lack of ventilation in Artist’s Alley alone was enough to get people realizing just how unsafe these conventions are, even if they’re promised safety.

How To Improve Your Rental Property During the Summer
Landlords are responsible for maintaining their rental properties. A lot falls under that umbrella. Between scheduling annual inspections and taking care of anything that needs immediate attention, it’s a lot to juggle. Stay ahead of the curve by being proactive and ensuring the premises stay in the best condition, especially during the warmer season. Here’s how to improve your rental property during the summer.
Test the Smoke Detectors
Requiring both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors inside rental property depends on the state. Check with your state laws to see if your property requires both. Then, routinely inspect them in every unit.
Send out a notice to your tenants warning them in advance that the detectors require testing. If neither works properly, check to see if the batteries need replacing. Ask your tenants if they’ve tampered with the detectors in any way. Failure to have fully functioning detectors could result in the landlord facing legal issues.
Inspect the HVAC System
Naturally, the HVAC system needs a thorough inspection. Those warm Floridian summer days will get hotter and hotter, and you don’t want any of your tenants to suffer. They could report you for forcing them to live in unsuitable conditions.
Schedule for an HVAC contractor to come out and inspect the system. In addition to inspecting the air conditioning, they also need to check the interior airflow and ductwork. Not maintaining these systems properly could result in a higher-than-average utility bill. Finally, consider adding a dehumidifier to the HVAC system because it can help improve the air quality throughout the building. 
Check the Security System
Unfortunately, crime rates increase by 5.7% when temperatures rise above 85 degrees. Keep your property and everyone living on it safe by checking and possibly updating the security system. Test the current system and have an expert come out to survey the property.
They might make suggestions about installing motion sensor flood lights or even cameras around the property. Pay close attention to the neighborhood and news surrounding the areas. See if crime rates have increased and ask your tenants what would make them feel safer.
Prepare for the Bugs
The bugs went away for a few months but now they’re back with a vengeance. Prepare for their attempts to take over your property because the summer heat brings out the insects. Secure the property to ensure they don’t invade your rentals.
Of course, you can’t ward them off completely, but you can minimize their efforts. Seal away all points of entry—including doors and windows. Window screens should be intact and replaced if need be. Plus, sealing off these areas further ensures the cool air remains inside and the warm air remains outside.
Schedule Lawn Maintenance
Keep up with the lawn maintenance because landscaping is crucial during the summer. Current residents and future residents want to see a lush, full, and green lawn.
Beautiful landscaping helps to reflect the interior of the property. It’s the first impression people will get of your rental property, and you want to make a lasting one in the best way possible. Plant seasonal flowers and water the grass based on the specific type.
Keep your rental property in perfect condition this summer with these mandatory improvements.

Everything You Need To Learn About HVAC Maintenance And Repairs
Tumblr media
The crucial factor of home ownership is maintaining HVAC systems. Similar to vehicles, the heating and air-conditioning units also require regular maintenance to perform at best. Find what top service providers of HVAC repairs and installations have to say about efficiently handling emergency heating repairs in winters.
Every one of us wants to take care of the home, but mostly we do not know the methods to take the best care of the largest appliances—the HVAC system.
Will it surprise you that the HVAC system meets almost half of your energy requirements? That’s why it’s crucial to give the best maintenance to the heating and central AC system. Let’s look at how professionals fix HVAC.
How Often Should You Do HVAC Maintenance?
Professional HVAC maintenance must be performed on the system two times every year. In between the visits of your technicians, there are various tasks which you must perform on a regular basis to help cooling and heating equipment optimal performance:-
Test the thermostat batteries and change them every six months.
Change the filter
Clean out the indoor HVAC system.
Clean the exterior of the unit.
Test the detectors of carbon monoxide
Why does the HVAC system need regular maintenance?
There are various reasons to maintain the cooling and heating systems. Here are a few reasons:-
If the HVAC system is not working correctly, then it might be working very hard, and as a result, it will reduce comfort and inconsistent temperature.
Most of the manufacturers will require some routine maintenance to validate the warranty. If you do not perform regular maintenance, you might invalidate the warranty, and regular maintenance will protect it from system repairs and maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.
HVAC system becomes less reliable and efficient because it accumulates dirt and dust throughout the year. It will cost you money in repair bills and increased utility. You might not know, but half of your electric bills go to cooling and heating. That’s why making a wise decision regarding the HVAC system might significantly affect the utility bills.
When it’s adequately maintained, you can add some more years to the HVAC system’s life, adding years of good usage. Part of the yearly inspection will involve lubricating all parts. The elements which lack lubrication will cause resistance and also increase the usage of electricity. Resistance can also cause equipment to get damaged quickly and require more replacement or repairs.
Another part of maintenance is inspecting blower components and adjusting and cleaning them. Doing it will help you ensure good airflow for good comfort, and the system efficiency will reduce the airflow problems by up to 20 percent.
How Should You Take Care of Your HVAC System?
Are you curious to know what heating repair includes? Then, take a look at the below points which will show you how professionals fix HVAC.
Change the Filters
When was the last time you replaced filters on the unit? A disposable filter will keep the system clean and remove large particles from the indoor air. You can aim to change it every three months. If it is allergy season or you have pets, you can consider replacing the filters more often.
We also recommend you pick filter rates MERV 7-11. If you choose more than this, it will reduce the system’s airflow, putting the system under unnecessary strain on the design and negatively affecting its efficiency. If you possess an air purification unit, you should follow the manufacturer’s instructions to serve the filters.
Clean the Condensing Unit
Most air conditioners have outdoor heat/unit pumps with a fan on top for dispersing heat this summer. Metal fins of the condensing unit get clogged up frequently with grime, pollen, and dirt. Every season, you can spray the systems outside with water for cleaning.
Inspect it virtually and create the clearance of the outdoor unit
Remove build-up leaves or vegetation so they cannot interfere with the airflow of the outdoor unit. Trees or bushes can be trimmed so the system will have sufficient clearance of almost 2 feet on every side. If the trees or bushes give excessive pollen, it can clog up the condensing units.
Check the evaporator coil’s drain pan and drain pipe
If you cannot find the drain pipe, have your emergency HVAC service technician show up to find it. You can check out the drainpipe of the HVAC system and clear the blockages of mold/algae which can be built up. A wet or dry vacuum might suction out plugged areas and bleach them to clean the rooms.
The clogged drainpipe leads to a typical breakdown scenario. EZ Heat and Air in San Diego, Riverside, and Orange County in California offer services all year. Most customers even learn when water pours through the ceiling until the ceiling saver or protective switch gets installed that switches off the air conditioner to prevent damaging leaks.
Call in a Professional for Regular Maintenance
You can call a licensed professional to come and perform the preventive HVAC maintenance measures twice a year, including flushing coils and checking out the drainage system and drain pain, checking refrigerant levels, looking for voltage, and vacuuming blower compartments. Spring is the best time to service the AC equipment, and Fall, to service heating equipment. Emergency heating repair by professionals will address any problems before they become a significant inconvenience.
Conclusion
HVAC maintenance is crucial for you to extend the life of heating and cooling systems. There are various types of services that are done in HVAC systems. But instead of DIY, you can call a skilled professional team to do the job, and they will offer the best result possible.
Contact experts at EZ heat and air services to take care of maintenance and repair needs for the heating or air conditioning system model in light commercial and residential settings. We offer a money-back guarantee and 24-hour emergency service. If you want to service your HVAC system from the best professional team, go for EZ Heat and Air services. We serve in San Diego, Riverside, and Orange County of California.

Ionization Smoke Alarm
Tumblr media
A ionization smoke alarm is a type of smoke alarm that outperforms the photoelectric version and is capable of detecting smoldering fires. The reason that this type of smoke alarm is so effective is because the sensors in the unit are able to detect the gases that are released during a fire. This is what makes this type of smoke detector an excellent choice for homeowners.
Detecting smoldering fires
Smoke alarms are designed to detect smoke and warn families about the danger of fires. Most fatal fires occur at night, and smoke inhalation is the leading cause of death in residential fires. Choosing the right alarm can save lives.
There are two types of smoke detectors: photoelectric and ionization. Photoelectric alarms are favored for slow-burning or smoldering fires, while ionization alarms are preferred for fast-flame fires. However, you may need both to effectively detect a fire.
Ionization-type alarms use radioactive material between two electrically charged plates. The radioactive material causes current to flow between the plates, which in turn, ionizes the air. When the air comes in contact with the radioactive material, it reacts with the smoke to trigger an alarm.
Ionization-based alarms are designed to more quickly pick up small black soot particles that are produced by flaming fires. They are more effective in detecting the earliest stages of flaming fires than photoelectric-based alarms.
Although ionization-based alarms are more sensitive to smoldering fires, they have a higher failure rate than photoelectric-based alarms. In fact, ionization alarms fail to sound off for up to 25 percent of the time. That’s why manufacturers have reduced the smoke sensitivity of ionization-based alarms.
In addition, ionization-type smoke alarms have a high rate of nuisance tripping. For example, a smoldering fire that occurs in a sleeping room may cause the alarm to malfunction, even though it’s located far away from the source.
Outperforms photoelectric alarms
An ionization smoke alarm and photoelectric smoke alarm are two types of fire detectors. They have different advantages and disadvantages. However, experts generally agree that both types can provide effective warning of a fire.
An ionization smoke alarm is a type of detector that utilizes a tiny radioactive material between two electrically charged plates. The small piece of radioactive material causes the current to flow between the plates, triggering the alarm.
Ionization smoke alarms are considered more effective for flaming fires. But, they are less effective for smoldering and slow-burning fires. Photoelectric smoke alarms, on the other hand, are better at detecting smoldering fires.
Both types of fire detectors have been tested in full-scale fire tests. However, the results showed that ionization alarms failed to activate up to 25% of the time. It is important to install both types of alarms in your home.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), well-designed photoelectric smoke alarms are the best for fire detection. Photoelectric alarms are faster to detect smoldering fires and less likely to trigger false alarms. Unlike ionization alarms, photoelectric alarms are more sensitive to cooking smoke, steam and carbon monoxide.
These alarms also have a greater ability to detect fast-moving flames. They are also better at detecting smoldering and slow-burning flames.
Disposing of ionization smoke alarms
Ionization smoke alarms are devices that provide alerts when there is smoke in the home. They contain a small amount of radioactive material that emits harmless radiation when triggered.
When you use ionization smoke alarms, it is important to dispose of them properly. Some communities have separate recycling programs for these products. You may also contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to return your device.
There are many different types of smoke detectors, including ionization, photoelectric, and combination. Each one has its own unique disposal options. It is important to determine which type you have before you begin the process.
Many detector manufacturers offer programs for recycling or disposing of their smoke detectors. These programs accept almost all types of smoke alarms. The company usually has a mailing address, and you can send your detector to them for safe and legal disposal.
Some communities also have special events for handling and separating household hazardous waste. You should check with your local government before taking your smoke detector to a collection event. Oftentimes, there are limitations on the size of the container or the quantity of dry waste that you can transport.
If you are disposing of ionization smoke alarms, you should never tamper with them. This can damage the shielding around the radioactive source.

According to a survey by “savvy”, 4,23,900 properties endured attempted or actual break-ins during the financial year 2019-20. Though the following years saw a decreased number of burglaries, it’s still not the time to be worry-free. Therefore, taking precautionary steps such as installing security cameras through experienced electricians in Dandenong is a wise choice.
What Is a Security System?
The security system comprises a wide range of equipment, such as CCTV cameras, sensor lights etc., that help to safeguard your residential and commercial property. It warns the owners of a potential intruder by sending messages to their smart devices and also alert the neighbourhood through the alarm. These tech-integrated systems identify the intruder and prevent a burglary.
What Are the Essential Components of a Security System?
Before you get the electrician services near Langwarrin to install the security system, it’s essential to know its various components and determine the right ones for your needs. Mostly, only the CCTV camera passes for a security system, but many other technically-advanced devices can help make your property safe.
Here are a few advanced components of a burglary-proof security system-
Motion Sensors: By installing motion sensors through a renowned electrician in Dandenong, it will turn on indoor/outdoor lighting, set off alarms, activate cameras and alert the people if it detects motion.
Indoor/Outdoor Cameras: The cameras can record everything in your yard or home. These cameras can send real-time footage to your smartphone if you want a quick look into your home while you are away. Nowadays, the best electrician in Dandenong can also fit these cameras into unusual things such as the doorbell.
Glass Break Detectors: The glass break detectors monitor the frequency of shattering glass sounds and set off the alarm to alert everyone.
Door/Window Sensor: The door and window sensor trigger the burglar or text alarm if somebody breaks into the house. This is an old technology where two sensors form a circuit when the door/window closes, but when it opens, the sensor breaks and sets off the alarm.
Intercoms: The electrician in Dandenong or elsewhere can install an intercom connection at your property to enable two-way communication via audio and video transmission. It helps to see who is outside and decide whether or not to open the door.
Apart from these, there are smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and other devices that ensure you are safe from other elements, such as fire and burglary.
Why Hire an Electrician to Install the Security System?
Since we already know about most of the above security system components, there might be a slight urge to purchase these and perform a DIY installation. But wait! Before you venture, we would like to say that it’s much safer to get electrician services near Langwarrin or elsewhere to choose and install the security system. The following points will surely persuade you to reach for the trusted electrician in Dandenong rather than order a CCTV camera online.
Expert Guidance
Hundreds and thousands of brands sell CCTV cameras and other security devices. How can somebody inexperienced browse through the features and find what’s best suited to the property? If we invest in an inferior product, we are compromising on our safety which nobody wants. Therefore, getting the best guidance from an electrician in Dandenong is the best choice since they have ample experience with such devices. They will look into the features and functionality of a product before suggesting it.
Experience Peace of Mind
Firstly, wiring projects is a risky job. It will be enough to break a fire if you fail to get even one connection wrong. Also, sometimes while installing the security systems, it may seem perfect, but later on, loose connections and other issues will damage the device. If you assign a renowned electrician in Dandenong, you don’t have to worry about the accurate installation as they are experts and will showcase their best work at your property.
Ensure Enhanced Safety
A burglary doesn’t just raid your house but also leaves long-lasting trauma for those who witness it.

When a trusted electrician in Dandenong performs all the installations, they know the right technique and angle from where there will be a better view of every corner, ensuring better safety than a DIY installation.
Save Time & Resources
There are two major disadvantages if you do not intend to assign an electrician in Dandenong and choose to install the security system yourself. Firstly, choosing the right security system will consume a lot of time, yet there isn’t a guarantee that you will receive the best value. Secondly, you may pay a lot more for an average product. However, if you have a trusted electrician by your side, you can save both money and time.

Gas Detectors and the importance of their maintenance & calibration
Tumblr media
Gas companies explore natural gas reserves, bring the natural resource up to the surface, refine it and produce the much-needed fuel everyone uses all over the globe to get around, heat their homes with and cook food.
A gas company also has multiple departments within its confines that deals with 
Chemicals
Exploration
Processing
Marketing
Transportation of the finished or unfinished product using pipelines
Production and
Refining.
Now, it is best to keep in mind that natural gas is highly inflammable and if one is not careful enough while handling it, explosions and fire accidents can occur that will lead to loss of life and property damages.
This is the reason why gas companies tend to install and use gas detectors.
What are gas detectors?
As the name suggests, gas detectors are tools that detect the presence of gases that may be harmful to human life or could pose as a threat to safety within the confines of a gas exploration, processing, storage and distribution plant.
Importance of gas detectors
Gas detectors detect the presence of inflammable or explosive gases such as hydrogen sulfide. Gas detectors can also detect the presence of gases that can lead to asphyxiation in humans such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Gas detectors are the part and parcel of health and safety systems installed in a typical work environment within a gas exploration, processing, storing and distribution company.
Gas detectors are installed across the length and breadth of a gas company and then connected to a central monitoring as well as alarm system thus offering the gas company and its workforce all-around protection.
How gas detectors are calibrated?
Gas detectors are calibrated by exposing them to the benchmark concentration of harmful gases that need to be detected in a working environment, for a specified amount of time – this is known as bump testing a gas detector. This needs to be done every month. It also needs to be carried out by the workers working at a gas company in daily in a bid to ensure that the gas detectors they are carrying with them are in their prime working condition.
One can also manually calibrate a gas detector by using a docking station and use the records of calibration in a bid to generate certificates of calibration so that the detector(s) can meet compliance requirements.
Regular and timely calibration of gas detectors is important
Regular and timely calibration, as well as preventative maintenance followed by repairing of gas detectors installed at a gas company, is the only way to keep accidents at bay.
Who can help?
Gas detector maintenance, repairs and calibration is a necessity but at the same time, it takes away resources such as workforce, time and money.
Hence, to be on the safe side of things, gas companies need to hire gas detector maintenance, repair and calibration service providers who are experts in the trade and have a stellar online as well as offline reputation.
If you are looking for such a company then look no further than Clear Point Instrumentation Pvt. Ltd.
They are proficient in offering the following services with commendable results and at reasonable rates -
 Analyzer Maintenance AMC – CPIPL has a Residential Technical Support team that provides regular, preventative and breakdown maintenance services for analyzers. They can also look after tubing, glanding, cable dressing etc. associated with analyzers & analyzer shelters.

What You Should Know About Smoke Alarms
Tumblr media
If you are planning to buy a smoke alarm for your home, you should first know what they are. Smoke detectors detect the presence of smoke, and they are commonly an indicator of a fire. These devices are generally plastic disks about 150 millimeters in diameter and 25 millimeters thick. Smoke alarms work either physically or optically to detect smoke. The battery-powered variety is usually the best option. For more information on smoke alarms, read our article.
Battery-powered smoke alarms
Battery-powered smoke alarms have the advantage of requiring little maintenance, even if they do require a regular battery change. Battery-powered smoke alarms operate on batteries, so their battery life will depend on how long they stay powered. Hardwired smoke alarms, on the other hand, are hard-wired to the power source and will continue to sound until they are turned off. However, these types of alarms typically have a backup battery.
There are many different types of battery-powered smoke alarms. The most affordable ones use AA batteries, which are relatively inexpensive. Alternatively, you can choose one that interlinks with mains-powered smoke alarms via radio frequency. This type of smoke alarm will sound whenever smoke enters the chamber. If the fire is spreading fast, an ionization smoke alarm will sound its alarm immediately. Battery-powered smoke alarms have two primary types: photoelectric and ionization.
Photoelectric smoke alarms
There are two types of smoke alarms: photoelectric and ionization. The former responds more quickly to fires in which the heat is high. Flaming fires can start from anything from a candle to paint or papers. The latter, on the other hand, responds much more slowly to fires of any kind. Photoelectric smoke alarms are the most widely used type of alarm today. You should know which type of smoke alarm to buy based on its location.
To tell which type of smoke alarm is right for your home, check the labels on your smoke alarms. They may say “Photoelectric” or “Ionization.” Look for the word “Ionization” or ‘Dual-sensor’ on the label. These terms refer to different types of smoke alarms. Ionization smoke alarms contain radioactive materials, which can only be found in certain kinds of smoke. If your smoke detector is labeled Photoelectric, then it is a photoelectric alarm.
Combination smoke alarms
Combination smoke alarms combine two types of detectors into one device. They detect flame and smoldering fires, as well as carbon monoxide. According to Consumer Reports, these detectors have many benefits, including reduced false alarm rates and improved speed of fire detection. Here are some advantages of combination smoke alarms. You may choose one that works with your home’s existing security system or choose a different model.
Photoelectric and ionization detectors both have advantages. Photoelectric smoke alarms can detect smoldering fires faster than ionization alarms. They also respond to heat, infrared, and carbon monoxide. For best results, install two smoke alarms in your home. You can choose between battery-operated and hardwired alarms. Hardwired alarms are generally considered more reliable than batteries, but consumers should buy them from a reputable retailer. Make sure to choose an alarm with a certification label from a nationally recognized testing lab.
Ionization smoke alarms
Ionization smoke alarms have been around for years, but the effectiveness of this type of alarm is in question. The research behind the effectiveness of these smoke alarms is not entirely clear. Researchers from the University of Illinois and the UL have published separate reports comparing different types of smoke alarms. The researchers used standard tests to measure the performance of smoke alarms, and they found that the ionization alarm failed the test more than 50% of the time. This is not good news for the consumer, but it does suggest that ionization smoke alarms are still worth investing in.
In comparison to photoelectric smoke alarms, ionization smoke alarms have a higher sensitivity to flammable liquids. This means they can detect more rapidly and are generally more responsive to flaming fires. Flames are the most dangerous type of fires, but smoke from these types of fire is not as dense. The resulting smoke can obstruct vision, making them useless in fighting fires. Because of these differences, it’s crucial to have both types of smoke alarms in your home.

Vivint Home Security System
We ordered the Fundamental security system1 from Vivint that included a SkyControl Panel, security sensors, a Kwikset wise lock, a video doorbell, smoke and CO monitors plus an indoor cam. Later on, we added the Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro to our system, which we likewise information listed below. Vivint SkyControl PanelThe SkyControl Panel is the touchscreen command center of our entire Vivint security system.
On top of that, the SkyControl Panel is where we could arm and deactivate our security system, press a panic button to get in touch with the monitoring teams, and even see cloud storage. Although we installed our SkyControl Panel to the wall, it can likewise be utilized as a standalone item.
Wireless, the sensors connected to, you thought it, our SkyControl Panel so we got signaled when they went off, along with the tracking team. Vivint Ping Indoor CameraNow, if you haven't figured it out yet, we're sort of compulsive about security cameras, so naturally, we were very excited to check out Vivint's Ping Indoor Camera.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI0WRFxwFTw
Vivint Indoor Camera Video DisplayThe infrared LED sensors enabled us to see plainly in the evening, plus, as we pointed out in the past, we had the ability to speak to our guests through two-way audio. Vivint Indoor Web Cam Night VisionAlthough we didn't have any intrusions throughout testing, fortunately, we did use the two-way audio to inform other household members when dinner was prepared, which was much more civilized than yelling like regular.
Like Good Technology The Experience Is Magical
Rather, we needed to pay $5 a month for 2 week of cloud storage, all divided into 30-second clips. However, there was another choice if you want constant recording for 1 month, namely, Vivint Smart Drive, which costs $249. This was a bit costly, so we adhered to those clips.
So while it might not be the very best option for someone with animals, we were still total satisfied with Vivint's indoor cam, specifically in regards to video, audio and night vision. Vivint Outdoor Electronic camera ProNot to overemphasize anything, however Vivint's new outdoor camera is among the most remarkable models that we have actually ever evaluated out.
Tumblr media
Yes, it has that clear, 1080p HD display screen that we liked in the indoor electronic camera, but on top of that, it also has 4K sensing units, which suggests two times as lots of pixels as 1080p HD.Vivint Outdoor Cam Day VisionIt likewise has HDR, which aided with light distortion outside. Include a good, 140-degree field of vision and the ability to zoom in 3 times in HD and 10 times digitally, and the electronic camera's video was more than clear enough.
Again, we stuck to the $5 a month plan rather than paying out $249 for the Vivint Smart Drive. Vivint Outdoor Webcam Pro Night VisionBut without a doubt the finest feature of the Vivint Outdoor Video Camera Pro was the synthetic intelligence. Unlike the indoor cam, the outside cam might distinguish in between people and other moving objects, indicating we only got notified when it detected an individual.
Additional Drawback
This was a bit much, specifically when our mail was delivered, but absolutely good for our outdoor security. Remember that the siren goes all the method approximately 85 decibels, about as loud as a snowblower, so the entire neighborhood could get included. In truth, a few of our next-door neighbors told us that they could hear it from inside their houses!On the other side, one drawback of the Vivint Outdoor Electronic Camera Pro was the reality that it needed to be plugged in.
However, once we got the correct extension cord, it didn't wind up being an issue. Overall, we're more than pleased with the Vivint Outdoor Cam Pro, although it's pretty expensive at $399. Nevertheless, this is the precise very same rate as the Nest Web Cam IQ Outdoor, which has very similar functions, so essentially, you pay for what you get.
Vivint's water resistant doorbell cam, which operates in temperature levels from 14 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, retails for $249.99. This was definitely a bit expensive compared to the market average of around $190, especially when we saw that the cam's video display was only 720p HD, not 1080p HD. When you think about the fact that something like the Ring Video Doorbell 2 expenses $169 and has 1080p HD video, the Vivint Doorbell Cam seems a lot more costly, however it does have person detection, which the Ring Video Doorbell 2 lacks.
We didn't get notified when every automobile passed or every squirrel ran by; rather, just when people were at our door, and as soon as we got alerted, it was fun to speak with them through two-way audio. Although the video quality wasn't as clear as we would've liked, the 180-degree field of vision gave us the best possible picture of our front backyard, which we valued.
Vivint Smart Home Security Review App
Vivint Doorbell Video Camera Night VisionWhile the Vivint Doorbell Camera can be hardwired or battery-operated, we chose to hardwire it to our existing doorbell setup, however for those that desire wireless, the battery life is three to 5 years. Keep in mind that Vivint simply brought out a Doorbell Electronic Camera Pro, which repaired a lot of the issues that we had with the original.
It's completely cordless, and it even has detection for packages as well as people!Kwikset DeadboltIt's 2020; are you still getting locked out of your house? With a wise lock, we do not have to stress over that any longer. Vivint gave us a smart lock from Kwikset which we might either control from another location through the app or open by means of a numerical code, which was terrific the one time we left our secrets at the office.
And even though the lock is made by a 3rd celebration, we had enjoyable linking it to other Web of Things devices and creating automated actions. For us, that implied having the doors unlock when the smoke alarm went off, which brings us to our next point Don't leave a key under that mat.
Vivint also provided us a WiFi-connected smoke detector so that we 'd look out if it went off, even when we weren't house. It safeguarded a 35-foot radius, had an 85-decibel siren and a five-year battery life, and in our experience, it worked well, alerting us as soon as we burnt our popcorn (which is too simple to do, by the method).
Our Recommendation
Vivint deals an almost similar detector, other than that it spots carbon monoxide and not smoke. While we didn't in fact release hazardous levels of CO into the air (as it can be deadly if you consume enough of it), we were impressed that the detector is currently connected with other linked gadgets.
Basically, the CO detector does more than beep!Finally, Vivint offers a water sensor that prevents leakages, which we placed near our cleaning device (although it can be anywhere that leaks can take place). The water sensor is likewise wireless and has a battery life of three to 6 years. And that's it for Vivint's parts!.
" Don't DIY your smart-home security system-- the pros at Vivint are totally worth the expense" Dead-simple to run Feature-rich Highly adjustable High-quality video Impressive customer care Costly to get begun Some power cables need to be hidden with tracks Vivint has come a long method given that it presented its doorbell camera in 2015.
The difference, as I've experienced first-hand, boils down to the service experience. Frankly, I never thought I would need a security system. I grew up method out in the sticks of central Texas where it was prevalent to leave the front door opened all day. Call it willful lack of knowledge if you desire, but I've constantly been resistant to the idea that I ought to need to spend for security monitoring services.
The Research
It was then that I installed an Amazon Cloud Camera and got cozy with the comfort paid for by access to video of my home, on-demand, for a modest cost. After being struck by patio pirates who took valuable products a number of times last year, I started to wish for more security and peace of mind.
I quickly learned that a person Amazon Cloud Camera wasn't going to suffice. Bitten by the clever home security bug, I desired more security: Smart locks, voice control, door sensing units, window sensors, and cameras with night vision. When Vivint came along and offered to set up an extensive wise home security system for evaluation with the alternative to either eliminate the system later or leave it in location for follow-up reviews, I immediately concurred.
Vivint isn't the most cost effective wise house security option (you get a personalized quote based upon your requirements), however their service and app experience are exceptional. Through my experience with their system, I have actually found out both of those aspects are definitely crucial. Vivint outfitted my home with a doorbell electronic camera, one indoor electronic camera, three outside cams (all with night vision), 2 Kwikset SmartCode deadbolt locks, three door sensing units, 10 window sensing units, one interior movement sensor, two glass-break sensors, two smoke alarm, a flood/heat/cold sensor, and a touchscreen control panel.
The point here is that Vivint systems are created to supply smart house convenience along with security, and systems can be scaled from modest to almost obscenely fancy. Vivint expertly installs its systems for a flat fee of $99. I was seriously impressed at how quickly the two-person group managed to set up and set up my system.
Why We Recommend The Vivint Smart Home Service Monitoring Plan
All sensing units and door locks are battery-operated and communicate through Wi-Fi. Following their installation, the crew helped my housemate and I with personalizing the system and strolled us through its operation from top to bottom. vivint smart home security system. When they left, we knew precisely how to adjust all factory settings and make personalizations of our own, either from the touchscreen control board or Vivint's mobile app.
The crew left no mess of any sort. When they were gone, the only evidence of them having actually existed was a well-installed system. Vivint's systems aren't totally cordless all 3 video cameras plus the control board must be plugged into wall outlets for power. Vivint utilizes that plug-in point wisely, however, by making use of a house's electrical system for data in lieu of miles of ethernet cables.
The result is a stealthy system that avoids calling attention to itself. Power wires run through your home were neat, if not undetectable. If there's any barrier to entry with a Vivint wise security system, it's the initial cost. Vivint utilizes high quality components, therefore system constructs can get expensive in a rush.
If that's not of interest, the system will save 30-second video clips from any electronic camera for approximately 14-days as part of the service strategy explained listed below. These clips are activated by motion sensing units and other "notifies," and should be plenty for most users. The on-going service strategy is much more palatable.
Related Reviews
If you have a problem with your system's operation, it's most likely going to occur in the very first few months, and Vivint will look after it. If there's an issue with hardware, like a damaged cam, that will also likely happen early on if it will occur at all and Vivint will take care of that too.
Step up to Smart Home and the cost increases to $40/month. Add the Smart Home Video storage, and you're up to $50/month no contract required. If you're the sort who likes voice assistants, Vivint's system works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant gadgets. To put that in viewpoint, Comcast charges about the same month-to-month tracking fee for its Xfinity security systems, with a $30 contract rate for the first two years, bumping to $40 afterward.
We'll let you take that as you will. Is Vivint much better than ADT? Though I've not had recent experience with ADT, I will say that it's hard to envision being more happy that I have with Vivint's service. Because service and price are essential factors to consider, I'm inclined to motivate those with the means to pursue Vivint as their choice.
