The Life-Saving Devices You Might Be Overlooking – Smoke & CO Detectors
When it comes to home safety, there’s nothing more important than your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors. These small, often-forgotten devices are your first line of defense against fire and deadly gases—and we take them seriously.
As part of our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection, Wicks Electric performs a full Smoke and CO Detector Check to ensure your home is protected and up to code.
What We Do During This Inspection
Our skilled and licensed electricians will walk through your home or commercial space to:
- Test every smoke and CO detector for proper function
- Check battery backups or hardwired connections
- Confirm placement – at least one on every floor and in every bedroom
- Inspect for expiry dates – most detectors need to be replaced every 7-10 years
- Ensure proper installation height and spacing
If any detectors are missing, expired, or not working properly, we’ll recommend replacement and offer professional installation right then and there.
Why This Check Is Absolutely Essential
Smoke detectors save lives—but only when they work. Similarly, CO detectors are critical in homes with:
- Gas appliances
- Fireplaces
- Attached garages
- Furnaces or hot water heaters
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and deadly. A properly placed and tested CO detector is your only early warning sign.
That’s why we never skip this step in our inspection—and neither should you.
Pro Tip: Interconnected Detectors
Want even more peace of mind? We can recommend interconnected smoke and CO detectors, so if one alarm goes off, they all do. It’s the safest, smartest system for families, rental units, and large homes.
