Rated 5 Stars!“Great company. I called to update and activate the system in our 20 year old home. I wanted to get everything up and running as we were going out of town for an extended period. Lee was very helpful and came out right away to look at the job. We corresponded via email and phone to finalize my equipment selections. He always got back to me quickly with answers to my questions. He got us on the schedule prior to going out of town! (He even installed new signs as the old yard signs were really worn out and crumbling.)

The installer Ben did a great job explaining the system and the portal. He helped familiarize me with how to adjust the motion sensitivity on the cameras, etc. When Ben discovered that the panel needed to be upgraded to meet the needs of additional video equipment, he called the office and they upgraded the panel at no additional charge to me. Ben made recommendations on settings based on what our individual needs were and showed me how to adjust them if needed.

All in all it was a great experience dealing with Alarm Engineering. I have had security systems with various companies over the years in various houses and I find this one very user friendly and expandable. On a side note…while out of town we got an alert on our front porch. Turned out to be my pool tech and I was able to answer his questions via the doorbell camera. Great experience with AE.”

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and for many of us that means turkey! Deep fried turkey is a popular choice because it promises fantastic culinary results in a fraction of the cooking time but it is dangerous - even for the informed user.

Turkey Fryer Safety

Deep fried turkey is a popular Thanksgiving choice because it promises fantastic culinary results in a fraction of the cooking time but it is dangerous – even for the informed cook.

Why is it so dangerous? 

To start, it’s difficult to tell whether the bird is completely thawed – and even a little bit of ice meeting hot oil can produce a dangerous outcome. Failing to monitor oil temperature and overfilling the oil are common mistakes.  

Also, you must fry the turkey outside! Lastly, keep the fryer away from any combustible materials and never, under any circumstances, leave it unattended.  

Under the best of conditions, the turkey fryer is a dangerous option, that’s why Underwriters Laboratories does not certify any fryer with their trusted UL mark and other safety organizations warn against their use. Consider other, oil free turkey cooking appliances available for outdoor cooking – the less hot oil the better when it comes to your family’s safety!

If you are planning on using a turkey fryer this year or know someone who may, watch this brief video on the dos and don’ts of turkey fryers and worst case scenarios, brought to you by State Farm and Si and Jase from Duck Dynasty.
