Smoke Detectors are Handy

Smoke detector installation

Homeowners should consider safety at all times. Keeping your family safe isn’t something to take lightly. Fires are always a possibility so having smoke detectors installed and installed properly by a licensed (License C-10 892870) electrician is definitely a plus.

Electricians know exactly how to correctly install them and know the best places for them in your home where they can be most beneficial if there was a fire.

The alarm will sound if it detects smoke filling a room. This is why it’s important to have your electrician install them because they are skilled at placing them in the right places.

Almost 3,000 people every year lose their homes and sometimes their loved ones to fire. At least 60% of those people don’t have smoke detectors.

Smoke detectors are battery operated and the batteries can easily be switched. Every year you should have your local electrician come in and inspect them to make sure they are working properly. A beeping/ chirping sound while not being touched usually indicates a low battery or a problem with the detector.

There are several kinds of smoke detectors. Some detect not only smoke but carbon monoxide giving you twice the protection. Others are hardwired into your electrical system and comes with a battery to prevent it from becoming inactive.

All in all, smoke detectors are a great way to help keep you from harm’s way.
