Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detector Install in Austin, TX

Ensure Your Smoke Detectors Work Properly

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.

  • Correct placement of your carbon monoxide detector is critical for safety. It should be installed on a wall at knee to chest height for optimal detection of CO, which spreads evenly throughout your home. If you have children or pets, consider mounting it at chest height. Combination smoke-and-CO detectors can be installed at ceiling height. Never place detectors behind curtains or in areas that could obstruct their function.

  • In addition to CO detectors, having properly functioning smoke detectors in your Austin home is essential for fire safety. Fires cause thousands of injuries and deaths annually, making it vital to install smoke detectors on every floor and near sleeping areas. Remember to replace detectors every ten years for the best protection.

  • Test detectors every six months

  • Use battery-powered backups, not rechargeable batteries

  • Avoid placing detectors near drafty areas, like windows or doors
