CO and Smoke Detectors
Call Us At : (540) 656-7792
If you own a home or a business, the safety of the people who live or work there is your top priority. This is why your building should have carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke detectors fitted. It's often a lifesaver to get a quick alarm about threats that would otherwise go unnoticed.
​
Carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are not only a wonderful idea, but they are also mandated by law. For the job, you'll want and need competent and knowledgeable electricians who are familiar with local codes.
Amped Up Electrical Services is a licensed electrical contractor. Our electricians are also OSHA 10-certified and have a variety of other certificates, including first aid and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). We understand all local code requirements so we can help you keep your home or business safe.
What Is the Importance of Carbon Monoxide Detection?
Combustion produces carbon monoxide as a byproduct. Carbon monoxide can be produced by anything that burns, but the greatest source of worry for homes and businesses is natural gas combustion in equipment such as furnaces, water heaters, ovens, and stoves.
​
Furthermore, leaving a car running in a closed garage might expose your home to harmful levels of carbon monoxide. Although this gas is supposed to be properly expelled from a structure, it can cause nausea, dizziness, headaches, and other flu-like symptoms if it builds up. It is lethal at high enough quantities.
​
​Because carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, special carbon monoxide detectors must be installed in a structure to warn of dangerous carbon monoxide levels. Our carbon monoxide detector installers are familiar with the best places for the devices to give maximum safety and meet code requirements.
Installation of a Smoke Detector
Even homes without natural gas will benefit from smoke detectors, which can quickly detect smoke from a variety of sources, such as kitchen fires or electrical malfunctions. Smoke detectors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they use a variety of technologies to detect smoke and deliver an alert.
​
Ionization smoke alarms (which are more responsive to fires with strong flames) and photoelectric smoke alarms are the most prevalent detectors (more responsive to slow, smoldering fires). You can rely on our licensed electricians to make sure you have the proper equipment. In many circumstances, a smoke and carbon monoxide detector coupled in one unit may be recommended.​
Repairs and replacements for detectors
We not only install carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, but we also replace them. If you test your detectors every six months and discover one is no longer working, please contact us. Our professionals will examine your current detector(s) and determine what needs to be done.
​
​Our electricians will notify you promptly if your carbon monoxide or smoke detectors need to be replaced. You may also rely on our honesty. We will never try to upsell you on a detector that you do not require.
