Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are often things people forget to check regularly, but they are essential for your safety. Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is more common than people realize and is one of the top causes of poisoning in the U.S., resulting in over 2,000 deaths annually. CO is particularly dangerous because it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and victims often don’t realize they are affected until symptoms appear. Fortunately, CO poisoning is preventable. At Mr. Electric of Austin, we provide expert CO and smoke detector installations to keep your family safe from the dangers of poisoning and harm.

Stay Safe After Smoke Detector Installation
Once your smoke detector is installed, it’s important to maintain it. Here are a few safety tips:
-
Install at least one smoke detector on every floor
-
Test detectors every six months
-
Use battery-powered backups, not rechargeable batteries
-
Avoid placing detectors near drafty areas, like windows or doors
-
Keep detectors clean by gently dusting or vacuuming them once a year
-
Never remove or tamper with batteries unless replacing them
-
Have a fire blanket and extinguisher accessible, and create an emergency exit plan with your family
