On three occasions after installing the FreezeAlarm, and alarm was triggered and I was able to get a service man to restart the furnace before additional damage was done. The FreezeAlarm obviously paid for itself within one month.
(5 out of 5)Simple intuitive setup
I purchased this unit because we live in the Northeast where it can get pretty cold. When we travel during the winter months, I like to have the security of knowing that the heating system in our home is working properly and we are not coming home to a disaster caused by frozen pipes. The unit is so simple to set up and maintain that you will probably not even read the well written instruction manual that the unit comes with. I just plugged in the power supply, installed a 9 volt battery and plugged the unit into an available phone wall jack. I then called the unit using my cell phone and completed the programming in less than 5 minutes. The intuitive voice menu guides you through the installation in an extremely clear manner. It works well with our existing answering machine. Well worth the price of $180 that I paid.

This is one of the best products ever invented. An absolute necessity for someone who has a second home. Great features allow you to check the temperature of your home at any time. It even calls up to three emergency numbers when something is wrong. A small price to pay for never having to worry about your investment. I couldn't imagine not owning one.
(5 out of 5)Great product
Great Product! I had heard of similar products but most require monitoring fees or are more complex. The FreezeAlarm was not only simple to use but it payed for itself immediately when it called our home in Florida due to a furnace outage in our Minnesota home. My wife also really likes the fact that we can call our home and check the temp and power anytime.

This little device is great and a bargain at $180. It works like a charm and gives me the peace of mind that my weekend house is safe and sound. Since my house has electric heat, the power outage feature is a huge plus. I have it set to send a warning call if the power is off for an hour, as brief interruptions are not important. I also like the ability to call and check the status and house temp, works well with my answering machine as promised.
If you worry about your place while you are away, this is most definitely the route to go. You won't be sorry!
