Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are essential safety devices that alert you to the presence of a safety hazard. Our smoke detectors give you enough time to safely exit your home in the event of a fire. A fire can happen anywhere and at any time. A residential fire quickly spreads because of all of the flammable products that are inside of a home. Furnishings, carpet, plastic items, paper, fabric and even wallpaper quickly carry the flames. When you have a smoke detector to alert you, it is possible to get your family and pets out before the structure becomes engulfed in fire.
Carbon monoxide detectors also play a critical role in your family’s safety. Any appliance or product that operates on natural gas, propane, kerosene or charcoal releases carbon monoxide gas as a by-product of combustion. Carbon monoxide build up in the air inside of your home could cause poisoning of your body. When you breathe this colorless and odorless gas, it displaces the oxygen needed by your brain and other organs. The lack of oxygen causes dizziness, fatigue, confusion and loss of consciousness. The effects may happen more quickly in babies, children and the elderly. When you have a detector to alert you to the presence of this poisonous gas, you can evacuate your home and call for help.
