Why You Need Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Do you have smoke detectors at your house, but you haven’t yet installed carbon monoxide detectors? You can be leaving your household at risk.
Carbon monoxide cannot be detected. It’s odorless, so you might not know there’s a problem until your family suffers from health issues. The only way to protect your household is to install a carbon monoxide detector.
These will alert you to a gas leak so you can evacuate the residence and keep your family safe.
How To Test Your Carbon Monoxide Detectors
To ensure your carbon monoxide detector works when you need it, you should have it tested regularly. Some tasks you can perform are:
- Test the batteries: At least once a month, press the “test” button on the device to ensure it triggers an alert. You should perform this test more often during the winter months if you are using gas heat.
- Use a test kit: Purchase a kit to test the accuracy of the detector. The kit will include a canister of carbon monoxide so you can expose the device to high levels of gas. If the alarm sounds, then you know the device is working properly.
Protect your appliances and electronics by installing whole-house surge protectors. Call our electricians for services.
Types of Carbon Monoxide Detectors
When scheduling carbon monoxide detector replacements, there are numerous types of devices you can choose from. Some common types our electricians often install in Houston are:
- Digital: These display the current and previous carbon monoxide levels.
- Hardwired: These connect directly to your building’s power supply. They also include a battery backup in the case of a power outage.
- AC plug-in: These plug into outlets in your home, making them one of the more convenient options.
- Combined smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: These have both smoke and carbon monoxide sensors so you can install one device instead of two.
- Interconnected: These can connect with other alarms and monitors in your home, including smoke detectors and burglar alarms.
