  • Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning poses a serious threat due to its lethal potential. CO gas, which is undetectable by sight or smell, results from incomplete fuel burning. The hazardous molecules can supplant oxygen in the body, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning. Our job is to install carbon monoxide detectors to minimize the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

  • Signs of carbon monoxide poisoning can mirror flu-like symptoms but without a fever. If you notice any of these symptoms, vacate your home immediately. Standard indications of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

    • Weakness
    • Confusion
    • Exhaustion
    • Breathing difficulties
    • Chest discomfort
    • Feeling nauseous
    • Lethargy
    • Headaches
    • Lightheadedness

  • The risk of carbon monoxide poisoning can be significantly reduced by confirming the correct operation of all gas-run devices. Usual household items like gas grills, dryers, fireplaces, vehicle exhaust systems, heaters, and water heaters can produce CO gas. It is important that these items are used in properly ventilated areas. Below are some tips to lessen the likelihood of carbon monoxide poisoning in your home:

    • Invest in sophisticated carbon monoxide detection devices.
    • If your fireplace is in use, keep the flue open.
    • Regularly schedule maintenance checks for your gas appliances.
    • Learn the difference between the sounds of your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.
    • Use your gas stove solely for cooking, not for heating your home.
    • Install carbon monoxide detectors on every level of your home.
    • Avoid using flameless chemical heaters indoors.
    • Change the batteries in your carbon monoxide detectors every six months.
    • Do not operate generators, cars, or other fuel-powered equipment in enclosed spaces like your garage or inside your home.
    • Ensure your gas appliances are certified by trusted organizations like the American Gas Association or Underwriters' Laboratories (UL).

Carbon Monoxide Detector Placement

Our experienced service professionals can advise you on the best places for carbon monoxide and smoke detector installation. Unlike smoke, which rises, carbon monoxide spreads uniformly throughout a space. We suggest installing carbon monoxide detectors at knee or chest height for quick access, especially while sleeping. For comprehensive detection, we place combined detectors high on your ceilings, steering clear of doors and curtains.

Professional Smoke Detector Installation

It is a legal requirement to have smoke detectors installed in living areas, bedrooms, dens, and hallways leading to bedrooms. Smoke detectors should be a part of the electrical wiring in new properties. A chirping sound from your smoke alarm indicates it’s time to replace the batteries or the unit itself. We provide installation services for the following types of smoke detectors:

Ionization Smoke Detectors

Ionization smoke detectors are popular and form a part of more than 90% of homes. They continuously monitor the current between electrodes and trigger an alarm when smoke disrupts the flow. They are particularly sensitive to flaming fires.

Photoelectric Smoke Detectors

Photoelectric smoke alarms house a light-sensitive sensor and an LED light. Any smoke entering the chamber disrupts the beam, activating an alarm. These detectors are highly responsive to smoldering fires.

  • Understanding your smoke alarms is crucial. Though they might not be a common topic of conversation at home, it’s essential to keep them in working order for overall household safety. Here are some recommended practices to ensure your smoke alarms function correctly:

    • Inspect your smoke alarms twice a year.
    • Avoid installing smoke alarms near windows.
    • Conduct regular fire drills at home.
    • Have a fire extinguisher readily accessible.
    • Install smoke alarms in the middle of the ceiling.
    • Do not disconnect your smoke alarm.
    • Ensure the battery backup system is functioning properly.
