Kernel Safety says you CAN prevent losses from frozen pipes, water leaks, food spoilage, and high humidity!

With a MarCELL Cellular Home Monitor, you can receive alerts by text, e-mail, and/or voice to notify you of changes in temperature or humidity, power outages, and even water leaks.  Imagine being able to know what is going on at your home when you are miles or even states away.  Great, too, for second or vacation homes!  We even have one in the Central Illinois Mutual office building.

The MarCELL Cellular Home Monitor is easy to set up.  Through an app, you set the temperature and humidity ranges you wish, plug the monitor into a wall outlet, and you are ready to go.  Several service subscription plans are available and can be as low as $8.25 per month when paid for one year ($99).  Other plans are available depending on the monitor model and the duration of the monitoring period.

Notifications are delivered through a built-in cellular connection.  Hence, MarCELL works even when the power is out or the internet is down.

The MarCELL Cellular Home Monitor device is available at a $20 discount to policyholders of Central Illinois Mutual through a special offer from Loss Control Specialists.   Water sensors are also available which can be used around sump pumps, water heaters, washing machines, and other potential water leak devices.

Order online by clicking on the MarCELL device below.  Use the discount code “LOSSCONTROL20” at checkout to receive the special offer.  This discount is in addition to any special offers or discounts on the MarCELL website.

In the Spring 2013 issue of CIMply Safety, be sure to read the article entitled “Beware of Cons who are Pros.” There are many good local contractors. Unfortunately, storms often bring out unscrupulous “contractors” who watch weather reports and swoop into storm-damaged areas to try to make quick money before they disappear. You can read an extended paper on this subject under the Customer Service > Claims tab above entitled “Beware of Unscrupulous Contractors” or by clicking here.

Texting while driving is illegal in Illinois and many other states.  Cell phone use while driving is also prohibited in Illinois unless you are using a hands-free device.
