Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Let Thomas Edison install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to protect your family from fires and hazardous CO2 leaks.

Rest easy with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors installed by Thomas Edison Electric. You can’t always rely on your nose or your current smoke and carbon monoxide detectors! Thomas Edison can install and distribute functional, high-quality detectors for optimal safety in your home and business. 

Professionally Installed Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Thousands of fire and carbon monoxide-related deaths occur yearly in homes without detectors or detectors that failed to function correctly. The experts at Thomas Edison Electric can check your existing systems and perform professional installations where necessary. 

Types of Smoke Detectors

Some smoke detectors are more effective than others. And when it comes to safety, Thomas Edison knows you want the best. We install heat detectors, dual sensor detectors, ionization smoke detectors, photoelectric smoke detectors, and more. Our electricians will inspect your home or business to determine the best type of detectors for you and where to place them. 

Types of Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Carbon monoxide won’t warn you of its presence, so detectors are critical. We install carbon monoxide detectors with digital displays and with voice alerts, wireless carbon monoxide detectors, and more. We have trusted electricians in your area who can install modern CO2 detectors that are perfect for your space. 

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Signs

Carbon monoxide is called “the invisible killer” because it is colorless and odorless. Knowing the signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can lead people to take action, but the best strategy is always prevention. If you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, check for the following symptoms:

  • Headache

  • Dizziness

  • Disorientation

  • Weakness

  • Nausea

  • Confusion

  • Vomiting

  • Chest pain

  • Loss of consciousness

If you or a loved one are experiencing the above symptoms, immediately evacuate your home or business and seek professional medical attention. A hospital laboratory can use a multiple-wavelength spectrophotometer, or CO-oximeter, to measure your COHgb levels and determine whether you have carbon monoxide poisoning.

What to Do if Your Carbon Monoxide Detector Sounds

If your carbon monoxide detector goes off:

  • Move everyone in your home or place of business outdoors

  • Call 911 or your local fire department for emergency assistance

  • Get prompt medical attention for anyone with symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning

  • Once the situation is resolved, schedule a follow-up inspection with an electrician

Thomas Edison can inspect and service your gas and oil furnaces, filters and filtering systems,  HVAC, and flues. We can also install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home or business to ensure optimal safety.
