Early one bitterly cold morning my alarm went off. My plumber and my daughter drove to our house and found nothing wrong with my boiler. It seems that the way my alarm is mounted on an outside wall that the 50 degree thermostat setting was too low. They moved it up to 55 and I haven't had a false alarm problem in the 4 years since then. Last winter the alarm went off but I actually had a problem with my boiler. Again my trusty plumber responded and repaired the defect with the boiler. That alarm, which cost me about $100 online, was worth every penny I paid for it.

What type of alarm do you have, what is it called? I would like one to monitor for any water leaks. Thanks
