Although many stores sell smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, it is best to have a certified electrician install smoke detectors in your home. Having a Norman Air professional install your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors will ensure everything is done correctly and up to code. You can probably replace battery-powered detectors on your own, but you should call the professionals at Norman Air to replace hardwired ones. Unsure of which type of detector you have? Give us a call at (405) 810 6068!
A battery-powered smoke detector or a hardwired smoke detector can last up to 10 years, at which time you should replace the whole unit. Carbon monoxide detectors typically last between five and seven years. Consult your manufacturer’s manual to determine the recommendation for your specific models.
Smoke detectors should be installed high on your Oklahoma City Metro Area home’s walls or near the center of the ceilings, and at least 10 feet away from your kitchen and any cooking appliances. Carbon monoxide detectors should be installed either on a wall about five feet above the floor, or on the ceiling six inches away from the wall.
Both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are two of the most important safety devices you can have in your Oklahoma City Metro Area home. Norman Air recommends that every household have both smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to keep you and your family safe.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness, feeling sick or being sick, feeling weak, confusion, chest and muscle pain, and shortness of breath. If you or any family members begin experiencing these symptoms, open the windows in your home, exit your Oklahoma City Metro Area home immediately, and call emergency services.
Off the top of your head, you probably don’t know how many smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors your home should have, or where they should be placed. The experts at Norman Air know exactly where you should have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors installed. Obviously, just one smoke or carbon monoxide detector is not enough to keep your household safe. In general, you should have one smoke and carbon monoxide detector on each floor level, one smoke and carbon monoxide detector outside each sleeping area, and for smoke detectors, one inside each sleeping area.
What’s just as important is knowing where not to install each type of detector. Smoke detectors should be installed no closer than 10 feet of your kitchen or any cooking appliances to ensure that there are no false alarms from minor cooking fires or steam. Carbon monoxide detectors, on the other hand, should not be installed near a gas powered water heater or furnace, as they naturally emit small amounts of carbon monoxide when they start up, which would trigger false alarms in your Oklahoma City Metro Area home.
It’s unlikely that you are familiar with your local laws on how many smoke detectors you should have in your home, or that you know what it means for your home to be up to code. That’s where the experts at Norman Air come in. We are well versed in the Oklahoma City Metro Area laws and regulations regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and we can also make sure that your home’s smoke and carbon monoxide detector wiring is up to code.
It may sound counterintuitive, but hiring a Norman Air professional to install your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can actually save you money in the long run. A Norman Air expert can ensure that your detectors are installed and wired correctly, as incorrect wiring may incur fines for code violations in some areas. You’ll also avoid faulty wiring that would end up costing you in repairs down the line. The Norman Air professional will also be able to inspect other electrical problems in your home at the same time, which can help prevent small problems from turning into large issues that are more expensive to fix.
Unless you have had the proper training, working with electrical systems can be incredibly dangerous. You may not know which wires are live, and which are safe to touch. Working with electrical wires always presents some risks, and installing hardwired and interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide detectors is more complex than installing battery-powered units. That is why the installation of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should always be completed by a Norman Air professional.
The experts at Norman Air are trained and certified to work with electrical units, and can make sure any installation job is done properly, no matter which system of detectors you decide to install in your Oklahoma City Metro Area home. They know which safety tests need to be completed before turning on your new detectors, and they also know how to troubleshoot any issues that may arise with your wiring or electrical system after installation is complete.
At Norman Air, our experts will keep your best interests in mind when it comes to making your home safe. They know which models of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are reliable, safe, and up to code. We can help you determine which type of smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector will work best for your specific needs.You’ll be able to eliminate the guesswork and determine the best fit for your Oklahoma City Metro Area home with our professional advice at your disposal.
