Professional Services for Smoke Detector Installation: Edmonton

Mr. Electric of Edmonton ensures your home adheres to provincial and local laws by placing smoke detectors in the right places around your home. These laws mandate that homeowners must place smoke detectors near all of a home’s bedrooms, and they may also need to go in hallways, garages, and stairways.
According to new construction laws, residents must hook up smoke detectors to their newly built home’s electrical wiring. Additionally, you also need battery backups and interconnectivity between these smoke detectors. Our electrical experts can help you choose which smoke detectors match your fire protection needs when you require smoke detector installation in Edmonton, such as the following popular options:
- Ionization – This detector type functions by running a continuous current between electrodes. Smoke interrupts your detector’s current and triggers an alarm as it travels into it.
- Photoelectric – In this detector type, your unit reacts to light reduction as it reaches an internal photocell. An alarm sounds when smoke scatters lights as it enters your unit.
Alongside smoke detectors, rely on us for carbon monoxide installation. Edmonton residents should know that CO poisoning has become the country’s leading poisoning death cause. Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, odourless, and colourless gas, so it’s undetectable and deadly if you don’t have a carbon monoxide detector. However, you can easily avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by having a licensed electrician install a carbon monoxide detector to protect your loved ones. Don't put your family at risk; instead, call us today.

FAQs for Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Installation: Edmonton

If you have questions about smoke detectors and carbon monoxide installation, Edmonton electricians from Mr. Electric have the answers you've been searching for. Find out more in our FAQ section below.

Edmonton electricians will ensure every safety measure possible is employed when you enlist our help for smoke detector installation near you. We will always turn off the power to the circuit breaker before performing any work on your electrical system. Additionally, we will use a voltage tester to ensure your electrical system has been successfully powered down. We will also request that all children and pets be kept at a safe distance from the work area for the optimal safety of your family.
Various household appliances can be sources of carbon monoxide gas, including furnaces, water heaters, wood or gas fireplaces, gas clothes dryers, and gas ranges or stoves. CO gas can originate from other sources around your home, including fuel-burning space heaters, gas or charcoal grills, and car exhaust.

Running any of these appliances and home features in areas with a venting malfunction or poor ventilation can lead to rapid carbon monoxide buildup. CO can also build up in your home if you have a clogged chimney or a closed woodstove flue. Mr. Electric of Edmonton puts safety first and helps you prevent at-home poisoning by recommending the following:
- Install at least one CO detector on each of your home’s levels and outside each bedroom.
- Replace your CO detector’s batteries every six-12 months.
- Never run a generator, vehicle, or device featuring a fuel-fed motor in your home or garage.
- Always turn off your vehicle when it’s parked inside your garage.
- If you purchase gas equipment or appliances, invest in those with a seal of approval from the Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL) or the American Gas Association.
- Get your gas appliances inspected annually by a licensed appliance professional.
- If you’re indoors or in an enclosed space, avoid using flameless chemical heaters.
- Getting repairs from a service expert if your gas appliance malfunctions.
- When burning or lighting a fire in your fireplace or furnace, be sure to open the flue.
- Never heat your home using a gas oven.
- If you use a grill, always operate it in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
- Use battery-operated heaters when you go camping.
- Make proper adjustments to all gas appliances and use an exhaust fan when appropriate.
- Understanding the different sounds your smoke detector and CO detector make.
- Contact your local fire department if a CO detector exceeds your price range. These professionals have programs in place to help elderly and low-income households acquire these devices.
Additionally, you can give us a call when you need a carbon monoxide installation near you. We'll ensure your home and family are safeguarded from potential carbon monoxide leaks and poisoning.
Smoke may rise in the air during a fire, but carbon monoxide spreads throughout your home evenly. When installing standalone carbon monoxide detectors, you should place them at chest and knee height whenever you can.

Our knowledgeable professionals strongly recommend knee-height CO detectors, as this is the height your head is typically at when you sleep. If your children or pets may play with or tamper with your CO detectors, we recommend placing them at chest height.

However, combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should always stay at ceiling height to detect smoke from a fire as early as possible. Hiding smoke and CO detectors behind doors or curtains can compromise their ability to function properly, so it is essential to place them in open areas.
Have you installed protective detectors in your home to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning? If a malfunctioning appliance leads to a carbon monoxide leak while you’re sleeping, you won’t wake up in time to escape this deadly gas without a carbon monoxide detector to alert you.

Additionally, your family can succumb to CO poisoning in minutes, depending on how much carbon monoxide has spread in the air in your rooms. Carbon monoxide detectors alert you when there’s a poisoning risk by detecting elevated carbon monoxide levels and sounding an alarm.

Not everyone knows what CO-poisoning symptoms are, so we’ve listed several of them to educate you. Symptoms can be like when you have the flu, with no fever. We strongly advise you to get a carbon monoxide installation in Edmonton if you notice the following warning signs:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Sleepiness
- Lightheadedness
- Vomiting
- Fatigue or weakness
- Shortness of breath
- Irregular breathing
- Chest pain
- Confusion
