Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play the most important role in reducing fire injuries and death. Carbon monoxide can poison you before you even notice. A Kidde combo smoke and CO alarm actually saved our electrician’s life one night as he woke up to the CO alarm going off. This prevented him being poisoned from the high levels of CO that was in his home. This is just one of the reasons why at Real Canadian Electric your family’s safety is important to us and why we recommend Kiddie combo smoke and CO alarms.
There are different types of Kidde smoke and CO combination alarms which include 10 year battery operated ones. It is recommended by the National Fire Protection Association that smoke alarms are replaced every 10 years so if you replace your detector every 10 years then these are worry free. Hard wired alarms, if one alarm in the house goes off the rest will as well. Or 10 year wireless interconnected smoke alarms. Where each alarm in your house is connected wirelessly. You can also get standard battery operated alarms. These need extra care and attention to make sure they are working properly. There are many different options which one may work best for you.
You may have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home but are they working properly? We can come and do a free safety assessment of your home to see if your smoke detectors are working to keep you and your family safe.
