As temperatures start to drop across the Triad, winter weather can be more than just an inconvenience — it can be a real risk for your home, your loved ones, and your property. From frozen pipes to unexpected heating issues, the colder months bring challenges that many homeowners don’t think about until it’s too late.

But with the right smart-home technology in place, protecting your home this winter doesn’t have to be stressful. At ACE-HTI, we use the 4 P’s of Winter Protection to help homeowners stay ahead of seasonal risks while staying connected and protected. 

1. People — Keep Your Loved Ones Safe with Smart Life-Safety Devices 

Winter is the peak season for heating systems, fireplaces, and space heaters — all of which increase the risk of carbon monoxide exposure and house fires. 

Smart smoke detectors and CO detectors integrated through Alarm.com provide: 

• Instant alerts to your phone 
• 24/7 monitoring support 
• Automatic system responses 
• Peace of mind whether you're home or away

These life-safety devices ensure your family is protected at all times, especially during the coldest months when heating hazards increases. 

2. Pets — Protect Your Furry Family from Temperature Drops 

Your pets depend on a safe, comfortable home — especially when temperatures fall unexpectedly. 

With ACE-HTI smart devices, you can monitor and control conditions inside your home with: 

• Temperature sensors 
• Real-time alerts 
• Remote thermostat adjustments 
• Notifications if indoor temps drop to unsafe levels

Whether you’re at work, traveling, or holiday shopping, you can keep your pets warm and safe with just a quick glance at your phone. 

3. Pipes — Stop Winter Damage Before It Starts 

Frozen pipes are one of the most common — and expensive — winter problems. When pipes freeze, they can burst, flood your home, and cause thousands of dollars in damage. 

ACE-HTI protects your home with: 

• Temperature sensors to detect freezing conditions 
• Water leak detectors that alert you instantly 
• Automatic water shut-off valves that stop flooding before it spreads 
• Alarm.com notifications for early action 

Instead of waking up to a flooded kitchen or basement, your smart system can catch up on the problem before it becomes a disaster. 

4. Property — Complete Smart-Home Protection in One App 

Winter weather can affect more than just the inside of your home. Icy walkways, unexpected snow, holiday travel, and power outages all increase your overall security risk. 

An integrated home protection system with ACE-HTI ensures: 

• Smart security and cameras 
• Entry and environmental monitoring 
• Fire and life-safety protection 
• Automations for lighting, temperature, and more 
• Seamless control through the Alarm.com app 

You get a connected ecosystem that works together, keeping your entire home protected all winter long.
