Smoke Alarms & Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Did you know that Carbon Monoxide is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas? It can cause severe illness, permanent health problems, and even death. These dangers are preventable. Take action to protect your family from the risk of these severe and permanent health hazards. Install combination smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms.

Fire Safety Experts recommend that you install Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms on each level of your home, preferably next to sleeping areas.

Smoke Alarms

Did you know that smoke inhalation while sleeping is a major cause of death in house fires? Like injury or death from Carbon Monoxide poisoning, this is also preventable.

You may have older smoke alarms that are outdated and may not work. (many are only rated  for a 5-year life span),

Protection for the Family and Occupants

For many years the Ontario Building Code has required smoke alarms on every level of your home and carbon monoxide alarms in sleeping areas. These are the minimum requirement to comply with Ontario law.

The best option for safety reasons is to install interconnected combination smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your house. Why every level? Because you want to know immediately when there is a danger from carbon monoxide, smoke or fire in your home. For example, if you and your family are sound asleep on the second floor. If a fire starts in the basement, you might not hear the alarm. By the time you become aware of the emergency, you could be trapped.

Wireless Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Some older homes may not be prewired for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

In that case, consider a battery-operated wireless solution. Replace your existing alarms with a wireless Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Voice Warning system. This system will interconnect every level of your home, without the cost of hardwiring. Captain Electric recommends that all batteries be changed every 6 months.
