Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors: A Critical Part of Home Safety

/in /by

When it comes to protecting your home and family, smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are essential. These life-saving devices provide early warnings against fire and toxic gases, yet they’re often overlooked. At Wicks Electric, a top-rated electrician in Vancouver, we believe home safety starts with reliable detection systems installed and maintained by professionals you can trust.

As the most trusted electrician in the area, our skilled and licensed electricians take smoke and CO detector safety seriously. That’s why detector inspections are a core part of our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection, helping homeowners stay protected and code-compliant.

How Our Trusted Electricians Protect Your Home

 

When you book an inspection with our trusted team of electricians in Vancouver BC, we complete a full evaluation of every smoke and CO detector in your home or commercial space, including:

  • Testing all smoke and CO detectors for proper operation
  • Checking battery backups and hardwired connections
  • Verifying correct placement on every level and inside bedrooms
  • Inspecting expiration dates (most detectors must be replaced every 7–10 years)
  • Confirming proper mounting height and spacing

If any detector is missing, expired, or malfunctioning, our reliable electricians will recommend the best solution and provide professional installation on the spot.

Why Smoke & CO Detectors Are Non-Negotiable

Smoke detectors save lives—but only when they work. Carbon monoxide is especially dangerous because it’s invisible, odorless, and potentially deadly. A properly installed CO detector may be your only warning.

Homes with the following features are at higher risk and should never go without working CO detection:

  • Gas appliances
  • Fireplaces
  • Furnaces or hot water heaters
  • Attached garages

Our excellent electricians ensure your detectors are positioned correctly and functioning properly, giving you confidence in your home’s safety.

Upgrade Your Protection with Interconnected Detectors

For the highest level of safety, we often recommend interconnected smoke and CO detectors. When one alarm activates, all alarms sound throughout the home—providing faster alerts and greater peace of mind for families, rental properties, and multi-level homes.
