Smoke & CO Detector Installation
Skilled Electricians in Massachusetts, Southern NH & Southern ME
The safety of your family is of the utmost importance. Why risk it with an amateur smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) detector installation? These alarm systems work best when they are hardwired with a battery backup in case of power outages. Doing so requires the expertise of a trained electrician who can safely handle the wiring and make sure everything functions properly.
Our friendly team of licensed and insured electricians at Ryan Gath Electric cares about your family’s safety just as much as you do. If you must equip your home with reliable smoke and CO detectors, we have you covered. Our team is trained to install detectors in optimal locations and test them to ensure optimal performance. Plus, should you need someone to maintain or repair your existing alarm system. You can turn to us for prompt and professional service.
Call (978) 464-8334 or reach out online to schedule a smoke and CO detector installation in Chelmsford and beyond. We look forward to being your partner in protecting your family.
How Smoke & CO Detectors Work
Smoke and CO detectors are essential for keeping your home safe from fire and poisonous gases. We recommend and most often install photoelectric smoke detectors, which use a beam of light to detect smoke. The beam runs from one end of the device to the other. As smoke enters the unit, it interrupts the light, triggering the alarm. It is important to note that in most situations, the state of Massachusetts requires buildings to have photoelectric smoke alarms.
As for CO detectors, they use electrochemical cells that react with carbon monoxide. If a unit detects this specific reaction, it sounds the alarm, giving you time to evacuate your home and all emergency services.
Battery-Powered vs. Hardwired Detectors
While the state allows battery-powered smoke and CO detectors, having hardwired units is highly advantageous.
Here is why:
- Dependable power: Hardwired detectors do not solely rely on a battery that could fail without anyone immediately noticing. This means they are more reliable and remain operable for longer.
- Interconnected alarms: Hardwired detectors are interconnected, providing better protection for your whole home. When one alarm triggers in an area at risk of fire or CO exposure, the others also sound.
If your smoke and CO detectors are not hardwired, turn to Ryan Gath Electric for help. We expertly install fire, smoke, and CO alarm systems, following state guidelines and industry best practices. A job done by us is one you can count on to protect your safety and provide peace of mind.
