Why You Need an Electrician

Installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors isn’t just a plug-and-play task—especially if you want full-home coverage, hardwired units, or interconnected systems that alert the whole house. A licensed electrician ensures detectors are placed in code-compliant locations, wired correctly to your panel, and tested for functionality. We make sure your family is protected with professionally installed, long-lasting detectors that actually work when it counts.
