Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detectors in Skokie, IL

Smoke Detectors Save Lives

Most people know that smoke detectors save lives. Smoke can fill a home quickly, so it is important that you are alerted soon enough to get the whole family out of the house before the home gets a chance to go up in flames. However, many Chicagoland residents don’t realize just how important it is to have carbon monoxide detectors in the home as well. These devices are as much life–savers as smoke detectors, and almost any home can benefit from one.

Why You Need Professional Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas. It is toxic, and while some people experience symptoms of illness with a carbon monoxide leak, for others it can result in death. You won’t be able to detect it any other way, and it can leak from your furnace or any other fuel–burning appliance. Carbon monoxide detectors save lives, and you should have one, at the very least, near every area where people sleep.

Professional installation wires your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors into the walls in an ideal location. Call an electrician to get these life–saving devices in your home today.

Caring for Your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

It’s important to keep your carbon monozie and smoke detector in good repair, if you don’t, they could fail you when you need them most. More likely, though, is that you’ll have to deal with that annoying chirping sound signaling you to change the batteries at 3 A.M. Don’t wait on any smoke detector repairs or carbon monoxide detector issues, make sure they get the care they need!

• Test the alarms each month by holding down the button on the front.
• Change the batteries every 6 months. We recommend using daylight saving time as a convenient way to remind yourself to reset the clocks and change smoke and CO detector batteries.
• Replace the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors every ten years, or before the manufacturer’s estimated lifespan. You can find the manufacturing date printed on the back of the alarm.
