Smoke & CO Detector Installation | Wicks Electric

October 6, 2025/in Blog/by Marianne Bernardo

At Wicks Electric, we believe that safety should always come first. As a BC top-rated electrician, we’ve seen firsthand how properly installed and maintained smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors can save lives. These small devices play a huge role in protecting your family, your home, and your peace of mind.

Why Smoke and CO Detectors Matter

Smoke detectors are your first line of defense in the event of a fire, while carbon monoxide detectors protect you from a gas that’s invisible, odorless, and potentially deadly. Both are essential for a safe home—and ensuring they’re working properly isn’t just smart, it’s required by code.

At Wicks Electric, our certified electricians take the time to:

Test every detector to confirm proper operation.
Inspect placement to ensure each unit is up to code — one on every level and one inside every bedroom.
Upgrade older models to meet the latest safety standards.
Integrate interconnected systems, so all alarms sound together in case of danger.

Our commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction has earned us a loyal base of return clients and countless recommendations across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Whether it’s a simple detector check or a full electrical safety inspection, homeowners trust Wicks Electric for our professionalism, reliability, and care.

We don’t just do the job — we do it right the first time. That’s why so many clients call us back for their next project, and why we continue to be recognized as one of the best electricians in Vancouver BC.

Protect What Matters Most

If it’s been more than a year since your detectors were last tested or replaced, it’s time to schedule an inspection. Our expert electricians in Vancouver can help you ensure your smoke and CO detectors are working perfectly and up to current safety codes.

Your safety is our priority — because at Wicks Electric, we’re not just powering spaces; we’re protecting them. ⚡
