Once you build a house it is extremely important to make proper arrangements to protect it from unwanted flames. Your hard earned money from which the house was purchased and built can all go up in flames in a very short time if there is no proper fire fighting arrangements. Most of the biggest losses all over the globe are due to fire. You forget to turn off the stove properly, or you have a bad wiring that sparks often, the case is bad and there’s a huge chance that it might cause something to blow up. Hence you need to make sure that you don’t get anything damaged even if the wiring job has been perfectly handled by the experts.

Once you have the house set up and ready to move in, make sure you haven’t forgotten the installation of a Novec 1230 gas suppression system. This baby is one fighter that can save your building from anything that turns from bad to worse. Equipped with some state of the art smoke and heat detectors, the system is ready to spray the gas over the flames that are unwanted and can cause damage. Novec is present inside single skinned cylinders, the ones like a fire extinguisher and probably in the red color. The gas is filled in liquefied form to be more effective and to be more measureable.

Having the protection keeps your building and the precious things inside it safe from any thermal harm. What’s even better is that it protects people too. The gas is completely safe and non toxic. So if there are people inside the building when the fire suppression system comes to life, and the gas falls on people and they breathe it, they won’t be harmed. They won’t suffocate not would they be unconscious. But this only applies to healthy normal people. If someone with sinus problems such as asthma inhales it, he might be in need for some medication. But normally, they are also reported to be safe from it with no harm dealt.

You can only assume your house to be safe from thermal damage with the system installed when the cylinders are full in pressure with the gas. If the pressure runs low or they are emptied, it would be as you never had it installed. So it is a must to keep checking the cylinders regularly with the ultrasonic liquid level indicator. If you see anything that doesn’t seem normal, have the cylinders checked by an expert or have them replaced with new ones.
