A smoke detector may save your life one day. A detector should alert the family by warning them of smoke in the home. Normally store-bought ones are cheaper and run off of a battery, but devices that are wired are more dependable. You can prevent the worst from happening to your family by calling Tommy’s Electric LLC. The alert you hear may be what protects your home as well. Call today and have yours installed professionally.

Over the years, a replacement may be in order to upgrade the current detector. Replacing it can be very beneficial to the life of a home. Tommy’s Electric LLC can provide you with a safety check and evaluate the detector as well as other electrical hazards.

Where you put a detector in your home in PA all depends on several things. You wouldn’t need one in the basement or bathroom, but you would need ones in the following areas of your house as location matters in this case:

Repairs can be done to your detector such as lose connections. A loose connection can prevent the device from working. A good working detector is one that is hard-wired into the ceiling. Sometimes walking in-between floors can knock the wiring loose; which will result in repairs.

If you are currently in the middle of building a new home or commercial dwelling, you should have already been thinking about detectors (carbon and smoke) and where to have them installed. Each story of the building should be assigned to at least one.

Each detector should be interconnected with the next. One that is triggered alerts all others. Not all of them have an interconnection feature though. Smoke is dangerous and very deadly when inhaled. This is why it’s important to have this feature.

The carbon monoxide detector is something that a lot of home and business owners pass up. Many feel it is an unimportant electrical component to have in the home. But, carbon monoxide is an invisible gas that is ultimately deadly.
