Our team of experienced technicians knows exactly where to install carbon monoxide and smoke detectors to offer your home the highest level of protection. Both smoke and carbon monoxide detector installation can prevent deaths and protect the health and safety of your family and home:
Each year in the U.S., around 2,000 people die in residential fires that could have been easily prevented. Fire itself isn’t even the biggest risk - dangerous and deadly smoke and toxic gasses spread farther and faster than the flames and heat from the fire. Many fires happen while the household is asleep, and they may not get enough warning to escape safely. A smoke and fire alarm will guard your home and family around the clock and emit a loud, persistent alarm that gives you precious time to escape the home.
Carbon monoxide poisoning kills more than 150 people every year in the U.S. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas that is a byproduct of fuel-burning appliances in the home. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. A carbon monoxide detector offers immediate warning of even minor levels of carbon monoxide in your home. Minor leaks can cause serious illness and even permanent, chronic symptoms without a carbon monoxide detector. A major leak can cause death.

What Is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide stands as the leading contributor to fatal poisonings within the United States. This insidious gas, devoid of color, scent, and flavor, materializes during the combustion of various fuels. It emerges as a consequence of the imperfect burning of resources like natural gas, oil, kerosene, wood, and charcoal. Inhaling these fumes results in the displacement of oxygen in your bloodstream by carbon monoxide, leading to inadequate oxygen supply to your bodily tissues and organs, ultimately impairing their functionality. The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are:

Headache
Weakness and fatigue
Dizziness
Nausea or vomiting
Shortness of breath
Confusion and disorientation
Loss of muscle control
Chest pains
Loss of consciousness

Extended exposure to carbon monoxide may lead to memory impairment, alterations in personality, enduring mobility issues, brain impairment, cardiac complications, and even fatality. If you suspect the presence of a carbon monoxide leak in your residence, it is imperative to:

Immediately leave your house or car and stay in the fresh air.
Call the gas company and fire department from a safe distance from your home. •
Seek medical attention for any symptoms of poisoning.

The incomplete combustion of natural gas, charcoal, wood, fuel oil, and kerosene from these appliances can cause carbon monoxide poisoning:
- Dryers
- Water heaters
- Boilers and furnaces
- Fireplaces
- Stoves and ovens
- Motor vehicles
- Tobacco smoke
- House fires
- Grills
- Generators
- Power tools
- Lawn equipment
To prevent a house fire and carbon monoxide poisoning, you should know the primary causes of fires and carbon monoxide. You should be proactive about reducing the risk of fires and carbon monoxide poisoning:
- Test your smoke alarms once per month by pressing the test button on the alarm.
- Know the best place to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
