Award-winning First Alert L Series now includes an HVAC Sensor and Switch
Resideo Technologies, a leading global provider of solutions for home comfort, energy management, and security, unveiled the First Alert L2 WiFi Water Sensor and Switch at the AHR Expo (booth #S10123) in Chicago. The First Alert L2 sensor is the latest addition to Resideo’s award-winning First Alert L Series, a line of connected water-leak detection and shutoff products to help protect homes from costly water damage.
The First Alert L2 sensor can automatically shut off or turn on HVAC equipment – including, air conditioners, heat pumps, dehumidifiers, and pumps, among others – if condensation or moisture is sensed where it doesn’t belong. It’s the only sensor on the market that features: WiFi connectivity, a sensing cable for added coverage, and monitors temperature and humidity trends.
“By expanding our water leak detection and protection solutions to HVAC applications, Resideo can now offer our HVAC partners and their homeowners even more ways to help safeguard properties against water damage, which is one of the most common and costly home insurance claims,” said Pat Tessier, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Resideo. “The First Alert L2 sensor delivers on our mission to help protect what matters most by eliminating the guesswork of locating excess condensation or moisture and stopping water damage at the source.”
An ideal solution to minimize damage following a coil freeze-up if a condensate pan overflows, the First Alert L2 Water Sensor and Switch will be available through select North American distributors in February 2024. It offers:
- Easy installation. The L2 sensor is hardwired to HVAC equipment and doesn’t require a battery. Ideal for hard-to-reach installation locations, it features a reusable, five-foot cable sensor.
- Intelligent sensing. The L2 sensor monitors water, humidity and temperature and can be re-set after a leak occurs.
- Smart leak alerts. Homeowners are informed if condensation or overflow from HVAC equipment has occurred via the Resideo app. The device also features LED lights that flash and a 100 dBA alarm when a leak is sensed.
- Expanded coverage. The L2 sensor is the next solution in company’s L Series line, which includes the First Alert L5 WiFi Water Leak Shutoff Valve and the First Alert L1 WiFi Water Leak and Freeze Detector.

All-New Garbage Disposals Aim to Encourage Greater Usage for Healthier, More Sustainable Kitchens
InSinkErator, the world’s leading brand of garbage disposals, has introduced the next generation of disposals for today’s modern kitchen. Completely redesigned to grind more types of food waste and do so quietly, the new Power and Advance Series disposals feature the company’s re-engineered MultiGrind® and SoundSeal® Technology. InSinkErator has also simplified installation on these units with the new EZ Connect technology.
Invented, designed, and assembled in America, this next generation of disposals demonstrates the commitment InSinkErator makes to innovation in today’s modern kitchen, providing an environmentally friendly solution for managing food waste. Over 85 years ago, InSinkErator revolutionized the way food waste was discarded in the kitchen, and it continues to be a category leader.
“Providing products for cleaner, fresher, more sustainable kitchens has been our focus for more than 85 years,” said Joe Dillion, president. “Now, we’re proud to take the next step in combining our easiest installation technologies with our quietest and most advanced grinding technologies that will
make disposing of food waste and leftovers quicker and easier than ever.”
According to the EPA, every year, food waste contributes to 18% of total U.S. methane emissions that come from landfills1,. An average family of four produces over 600 pounds of food waste each year.2, 3 Using an InSinkErator® garbage disposal helps divert food waste from landfills – benefiting the community and slowing the acceleration of climate change. The new and improved garbage disposals from InSinkErator have been designed to grind food waste into finer particles that easily flow through household pipes, giving homeowners more confidence to use their disposal without fear of plumbing issues.
“Most homeowners have a real desire to maintain a more sustainable kitchen but truly don’t understand the impact of food waste on the environment and how a garbage disposal can help.” said Mark Cammarota, vice president of marketing. “We have exciting educational programs for both professionals and homeowners on why you shouldn’t throw food waste in the trash and how our new InSinkErator disposals help you better manage your food waste.”
The educational programs include working with influential plumbing professionals, like master plumbers Roger Wakefield and Eric Aune, both of whom are highly influential with plumbing pros on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. InSinkErator is also launching a clever marketing campaign featuring the comedic voice of Wanda Sykes that will focus on educating homeowners on why it’s important to not throw food waste in the trash and how the new InSinkErator disposals have the power to grind most of your food waste.
