Smoke & CO detectors, safety checks
DuPage · Kane · Kendall · Will counties, IL
Interconnected, hard-wired smoke alarms mean a fire in the basement sets off the alarm in the bedrooms too. Carbon monoxide alarms protect against a danger you cannot see or smell.
We install and replace hard-wired smoke and CO detectors, fix items from home inspection reports before a sale, and do a safety look-over for older homes.
Signs you need this
- Smoke alarms that are old, chirping or battery-only
- No carbon monoxide alarms near the bedrooms
- A home inspection report with electrical items
- An older home you have never had checked
Questions
How old is too old for a smoke alarm?
Manufacturers generally recommend replacing smoke alarms about every 10 years. Check the date printed on the back.
Can you fix the electrical items on my inspection report?
Yes. Send us the report pages and photos, and we can quote the electrical items.
What is in a safety check?
A look at the panel, visible wiring, outlets and protection in wet areas, and the smoke and CO alarms, with a plain list of anything that needs attention.
